[0014] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings. While certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present disclosure can be embodied in various forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present disclosure can be more thoroughly and completely understood. It is to be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are merely for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.

[0015] It is noted that the headings provided herein are not limitations of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Various embodiments are described throughout this document and can be included under any heading. Additionally, embodiments described in any heading can be combined with any other embodiment described in the same heading and / or a different heading in any manner.

[0016] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "comprising" and its similar terms are understood to be open-ended, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" is understood to be "based, at least in part, on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" is understood to be "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" is understood to be "at least some embodiments". The following can also include other explicit and implicit definitions. The terms "first", "second", etc. can refer to different or the same objects. The following can also include other explicit and implicit definitions.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present disclosure, data of users, acquisition and / or use of data, etc. can be involved. These aspects comply with corresponding laws and regulations and relevant provisions. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are performed on the premise that the user is aware of and confirms. Accordingly, when implementing various embodiments of the present disclosure, the type of data or information that can be involved, the use range, the use scenario, etc. should be notified to the user and the authorization of the user should be obtained through appropriate means according to relevant laws and regulations. The specific notification and / or authorization method can vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this regard.

[0018] In the present specification and embodiments, if personal information processing is involved, it will be processed on the premise of legality (for example, obtaining the consent of the subject of personal information, or being necessary for the performance of a contract, etc.), and only within the prescribed or agreed range. The user refuses to process personal information other than the necessary information required for the basic function, which does not affect the user's use of the basic function.

[0019] As mentioned above, a user can perform various types of interactions with various types of virtual objects in a virtual environment provided by a computer through a computer. For example, a user can also create a virtual object by consuming virtual resources. However, the way a user acquires virtual resources is usually single. For example, in some games, a user can acquire a certain amount of virtual resources as time goes by. However, this way of acquiring virtual resources cannot be linked to the interaction actions of the created virtual resources, resulting in low efficiency of acquiring virtual resources and poor user experience.

[0020] Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide a scheme for interaction control. According to the scheme, a second virtual object can be created in a virtual scene by consuming virtual resources associated with a first virtual object in the virtual scene based on a first interaction operation associated with the first virtual object; in response to the second virtual object completing a first set of actions in the virtual scene, a third virtual object is provided in the virtual scene in association with the second virtual object; and the virtual resources associated with the first virtual object are adjusted based on a second interaction operation associated with the third virtual object.

[0021] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to create a second virtual object in the virtual scene by consuming virtual resources associated with the first virtual object based on the first interaction operation of the user with the first virtual object in the virtual scene. And embodiments of the present disclosure are also able to provide a third virtual object for adjusting the virtual resources based on the action of the second virtual object. In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure are able to provide a virtual object for adjusting the virtual resources based on the action of the virtual object created by consuming the virtual resources. This interactive way of adjusting the virtual resources can be associated with the action of the virtual object, thereby improving the efficiency of obtaining the virtual resources and meeting the needs of the user.

[0022] Various example implementations of the solution are described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Example Environment

[0024] FIG. 1 A schematic diagram illustrating an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. As shown, the example environment 100 can include an electronic device 110. FIG. 1

[0025] In this example environment 100, the electronic device 110 can be running an application 120 that supports interface interaction. The application 120 can be any suitable type of application for interface interaction, examples of which can include but are not limited to: a gaming application, a social application, or other suitable application. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0026] FIG. 1 A schematic diagram illustrating an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. The example environment 100 can include an electronic device 110. The electronic device 110 may, for example, include a suitable type of portable device that may, for example, support being held by both hands of a user for various interaction operations. Such an electronic device 110 may, for example, include but is not limited to: a smartphone, a tablet computer, a palmtop computer, a portable game terminal, etc.

[0027] Such an electronic device 110 may, for example, include a suitable type of sensor for detecting user gestures. For example, the electronic device 110 may, for example, include a touch screen for detecting various types of gestures made by a user on the touch screen. Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 can also include other suitable types of sensing devices, such as a proximity sensor, for detecting various types of gestures made by a user within a predetermined distance above the screen.

[0028] It should be appreciated that although the electronic device 110 is shown as a smartphone in FIG. 1 ​The device is shown as a portable device, but this is merely exemplary. In other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also be other suitable forms. For example, the electronic device 110 may include a display device for display and a computing device for calculation, and the display device and the computing device may be physically coupled or decoupled, for example.

[0029] For example, electronic device 110 may include a display screen for displaying images and a game console for image rendering and game control.

[0030] In this scenario, electronic device 110 can achieve interaction by utilizing other suitable input devices, such as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, or game controller.

[0031] Continue to refer to FIG. 1 The electronic device 110 can present a user interface 120, which may, for example, present a corresponding virtual environment. For example, the user interface 120 may be a game application interface to present a corresponding game scene. Alternatively, the user interface 120 may be other suitable types of interactive interfaces that allow the user to control virtual objects in the interface to perform corresponding actions in the virtual environment.

[0032] It should be understood that the user interface 120 may be generated locally on the electronic device 110 or may be based on an image received by the electronic device 110 from a remote device (e.g., a cloud gaming console).

[0033] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0034] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0035] Example Interaction Control

[0036] FIGS. 2A-2C Example interfaces 200A to 200C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown. Interfaces 200A to 200C may, for example, be provided by... FIG. 1 The electronic device 110 shown provides this. As described above, such interfaces 200A to 200C may, for example, include graphical interfaces associated with a virtual scene. Such virtual scenes may include, but are not limited to, various types of game scenes, simulation scenes, and so on.

[0037] As an example, interfaces 200A to 200C may be interactive interfaces for controlling specific virtual objects in a virtual scene (e.g., a dojo) to engage in combat (e.g., a target character controlled by the user is fighting an enemy). For example, a user can enter a control mode for a virtual object by performing a specific operation in the virtual scene or by clicking a specific button on the interface.

[0038] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 2A As shown, electronic device 110 can present an interactive interface 200A. As an example, electronic device 110 can present a virtual object 210 (or a first virtual object) in the interactive interface 200A. The virtual object 210 includes, for example, virtual objects or characters. In some embodiments, the virtual object 210 can be associated with a user, and may be, for example, a virtual character that the user can control, which typically has specific attributes, skills, and appearance. Electronic device 110 can control the virtual object 210 to complete tasks, engage in combat, or develop a storyline based on user actions. Such a virtual object 210 may be referred to as a target character, for example.

[0039] Alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also present the interactive interface 200A from the first-person perspective of the target character. In this case, the electronic device 110 will not display the virtual image corresponding to the target character in the interactive interface 200A.

[0040] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present the quantity of virtual resources associated with the virtual object 210 in an interactive interface 200A. As an example, virtual resources may be used to create other virtual objects associated with the virtual object 210 in a virtual scene. In some embodiments, the virtual resources associated with the virtual object 210 may be referred to as "part values".

[0041] As an example, electronic device 110 may present indicator element 215 in an interactive interface 200A associated with a virtual scene. Indicator element 215 may indicate the quantity of virtual resources. For example, such as FIG. 2A As shown, electronic device 110 may display an image identifier 215-1 (e.g., a "gear" shaped identifier) ​​associated with a virtual resource in indicator element 215 to indicate that the type of virtual resource is a virtual resource associated with virtual object 210. For example, electronic device 110 may display a text identifier 215-2 (e.g., "100") associated with the quantity of virtual resources in indicator element 215 to indicate the current quantity of virtual resources associated with virtual object 210 (e.g., "100"). For example, electronic device 110 may also display a progress bar identifier 215-3 associated with the quantity of virtual resources in indicator element 215, which can also indicate the current quantity of virtual resources associated with virtual object 210.

[0042] Additionally or alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also display image identifiers of other virtual objects associated with the virtual object 210 in the indicator element 215 to indicate the quantity of different types of virtual objects. For example, the image identifiers of other virtual objects may include identifiers 220-1, 220-2, and 220-3, etc. Additionally, the electronic device 110 may display the quantity of other virtual objects in the indicator element 215. Exemplarily, in the initial stage, the quantity of virtual objects corresponding to identifiers 220-1, 220-2, and 220-3 is 0. As an example, creating other virtual objects requires consuming a certain amount of virtual resources. Different types of other virtual objects may consume different amounts of virtual resources.

[0043] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may create a second virtual object in a virtual scene by consuming virtual resources associated with the virtual object 210, based on a first interactive operation associated with the virtual object 210.

[0044] As an example, the first interactive action may include voice commands, gestures, and / or triggering of preset controls (or buttons).

[0045] As an example, preset controls may include controls 225-1, 225-2, and 225-3, etc. For example, control 225-1 may be associated with the virtual object corresponding to identifier 220-1. For example, control 225-2 may be associated with the virtual object corresponding to identifier 220-2. For example, control 225-3 may be associated with the virtual object corresponding to identifier 220-3. For example, electronic device 110 may create a second virtual object in a virtual scene in response to triggering the preset controls.

[0046] For example, electronic device 110 may respond to a trigger on control 225-1 (e.g., a click or drag operation, etc.) by consuming virtual resources associated with virtual object 210 to create a second virtual object (e.g., a virtual object corresponding to identifier 220-1) in a virtual scene.

[0047] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 2B As shown, the electronic device 110 can present a virtual object 240 (also known as a second virtual object) in the virtual scene of the interactive interface 200B.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can update the indication element 215 to indicate the consumption of the virtual resource associated with the virtual object 210 in response to the virtual object 240 being created. For example, the electronic device 110 can update the text identification 215-2 in the indication element 215 (e.g., from “100” to “80”) to indicate the first resource consumption amount (e.g., “20”) of the virtual resource corresponding to the consumption of creating the virtual object 240 in response to the virtual object 240 being created. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 can update the progress bar identification 215-3 in the indication element 215 (e.g., adjust the color proportion of the progress bar identification 215-3) to indicate the first resource consumption amount of the virtual resource corresponding to the consumption of creating the virtual object 2140 in response to the virtual object 240 being created.

[0049] Additionally, the electronic device 110 can update the digital identification associated with the identification 220-1 in the indication element 215 (e.g., from “0” to “1”) to indicate the number of virtual objects associated with the identification 220-1 in the current virtual scene (e.g., “1”) in response to the virtual object 240 being created.

[0050] Alternatively, the creation position of the second virtual object (e.g., the virtual object 240) in the virtual scene is determined based on the first interaction operation. For example, the creation position of the second virtual object in the virtual scene can be the position determined based on the drag operation on the control 225-1.

[0051] Alternatively, the creation position of the second virtual object (e.g., the virtual object 240) in the virtual scene is determined based on the position of the first virtual object. For example, the creation position of the second virtual object in the virtual scene may, for example, be a preset distance away from the position where the first virtual object (e.g., the virtual object 210) is located (e.g., XX meters in front of the position where the first virtual object is located).

[0052] As an example, the electronic device 110 can adjust the position of the first virtual object (e.g., the virtual object 210) in the virtual scene based on the operation of the user (e.g., a drag operation on the movement control 245).

[0053] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can provide the virtual object 250-1 (also referred to as the third virtual object) in the virtual scene in association with the second virtual object in response to the second virtual object (e.g., the virtual object 240) completing the execution of the first set of actions in the virtual scene. The presentation position of the virtual object 250-1 in the virtual scene can be determined based on the position of the virtual object 240. For example, the virtual object 250-1 can be presented behind the virtual object 240.

[0054] As an example, the first set of actions acts on virtual object 230 (also referred to as the fifth virtual object) in the virtual scene. Virtual object 230 is associated with a faction different from the first virtual object (e.g., virtual object 210). As an example, virtual objects in different factions can attack each other to achieve their respective virtual objectives. As an example, the first set of actions can instruct virtual object 240 to perform an attack on virtual object 230 a certain number of times (e.g., three times). As an example, the attack action of virtual object 240 on virtual object 230 can correspond to one or more types. For example, the type of attack action can include a normal attack, skill release, etc.

[0055] Additionally or alternatively, electronic device 110 may adjust (e.g., increase or decrease) the virtual resources associated with the first virtual object based on a second interactive operation associated with virtual object 230 (also referred to as the third virtual object). As an example, the number of virtual resources increased or decreased may be determined by virtual object 250-1. For example, the number of virtual resources increased or decreased may be, for instance, 10.

[0056] As an example, the second interactive operation may include a movement operation on virtual object 210, such that the position of virtual object 210 is within the interaction range of virtual object 250-1. As an example, electronic device 110 may adjust the virtual resources associated with the first virtual object in response to the position of virtual object 210 being within the interaction range of virtual object 250-1.

[0057] As an example, the second interactive operation may include, for example, an interactive operation associated with the virtual object 250-1 (e.g., a click operation on the virtual object 250-1).

[0058] Additionally, the electronic device 110 can update the indicator element 215 in response to adjustments in the number of virtual resources to ensure the accuracy of the number of virtual resources indicated by the indicator element 215.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as FIG. 2C As shown, electronic device 110 can create virtual object 260 (also known as fourth virtual object) in a virtual scene by consuming virtual resources associated with the first virtual object, based on a third interactive operation associated with the first virtual object. As an example, the third interactive operation may include, for example, voice commands, gesture operations, and / or triggering of preset controls (or buttons).

[0060] As an example, the electronic device 110 can create a virtual object 260 (e.g., a virtual object corresponding to the identifier 220-2) in the virtual scene by consuming a virtual resource associated with the virtual object 210 in response to a trigger (e.g., a click operation or a drag operation, etc.) of the control 225-2.

[0061] As an example, the second resource consumption amount corresponding to the fourth virtual object is different from the first resource consumption amount corresponding to the second virtual object. For example, the first resource consumption amount corresponding to the second virtual object is 20. The second resource consumption amount corresponding to the fourth virtual object can be 30, for example.

[0062] Additionally or alternatively, the second virtual object has an object attribute different from the fourth virtual object.

[0063] As an example, the object attribute can include a virtual avatar, for example. For example, the first virtual avatar corresponding to the virtual object 240 is different from the second virtual avatar corresponding to the virtual object 260.

[0064] Additionally or alternatively, the object attribute can include an action attribute, for example. For example, the first attack action corresponding to the virtual object 240 can be different from the second attack action corresponding to the virtual object 260. For example, the modality and value (e.g., a virtual attack rate, a virtual damage value, etc.) of the first attack action can be different from the second attack action.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can provide a third virtual object (e.g., the virtual object 250-2) in the virtual scene in association with the fourth virtual object in response to the fourth virtual object completing performance of a second set of actions in the virtual scene.

[0066] As an example, the second set of actions acts on a virtual object 230 (also referred to as a fifth virtual object) in the virtual scene. As an example, the second set of actions can indicate that the number of action times of an attack action of the virtual object 260 on the virtual object 230 reaches a threshold (e.g., three times). As an example, the attack action of the virtual object 260 on the virtual object 230 can correspond to one or more types. For example, the types of the attack action can include a normal attack, a skill release, etc.

[0067] As an example, the speed at which the virtual object 260 completes the second set of actions can be different from the speed at which the virtual object 240 completes the first set of actions due to the object attribute corresponding to the virtual object 260 being different from the virtual object 240 (e.g., the second attack rate of the virtual object 260 being different from the first attack rate of the virtual object 240). Thus, the second rate at which the third virtual object is generated based on the virtual object 260 can be different from the first rate at which the third virtual object is generated based on the virtual object 240.

[0068] Further, the electronic device 110 can adjust (e.g., increase or decrease) the virtual resources associated with the first virtual object based on a third interaction operation with the third virtual object.

[0069] As an example, the third interaction operation can include, for example, a movement operation for the virtual object 210 such that the location of the virtual object 210 is within the interaction range of the virtual object 250-2. As an example, the electronic device 110 can adjust the virtual resources associated with the first virtual object in response to the location of the virtual object 210 being within the interaction range of the virtual object 250-2.

[0070] As an example, the third interaction operation can include, for example, an interaction operation (e.g., a tap operation on the virtual object 250-2) associated with the virtual object 250-2.

[0071] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also periodically increase the virtual resources associated with the first virtual object. For example, 3 virtual resources are increased every 5 seconds.

[0072] Alternatively, the electronic device 110 can determine a target state of the first virtual object in the virtual scene. For example, the target state can include the first state (e.g., the walking state) and / or the second state (e.g., the flying state). Further, the electronic device 110 can periodically increase the virtual resources associated with the first virtual object based on the target state. Wherein the amount of virtual resources to be increased is determined based on the target state. For example, for the first virtual object being in the first state, the number of virtual resources to be periodically increased can be 3 every 5 seconds. For example, for the first virtual object being in the second state, the number of virtual resources to be periodically increased can be 10 every 5 seconds.

[0073] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can change the target state of the first virtual object in response to a fourth interaction operation associated with the first virtual object. As an example, the fourth interaction operation can include, for example, a voice instruction, a gesture operation, and / or a trigger on a preset control (or button).

[0074] As an example, the electronic device 110 can provide a control 265 in the interaction interface 200C. Further, the electronic device 110 can switch the target state of the virtual object 210 from the first state to the second state, or from the second state to the first state in response to a trigger (e.g., a tap operation) on the control 265.

[0075] As an example, the electronic device 110 can switch the target state of the first virtual object from the second state (e.g., the flying state) to the first state (e.g., the walking state) in response to the first virtual object being in the second state for a preset time length (e.g., 30 seconds).

[0076] As an example, the electronic device 110 can stop presenting the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object in the virtual scene in response to a preset condition being satisfied.

[0077] Additionally, the preset condition can include a creation duration of the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object reaching a preset duration (e.g., 3 minutes). That is, the electronic device 110 can stop presenting the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object in the virtual scene in response to the creation duration of the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object reaching the preset duration.

[0078] Alternatively, the preset condition can include a number of objects in an object set corresponding to the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object reaching a preset number. As an example, taking the second virtual object as an example, when the number of the object set corresponding to the second virtual object presented in the virtual scene reaches the preset number (e.g., 3), the electronic device 110 creates a virtual object associated with the second virtual object in the virtual scene in response to the first interaction operation associated with the first virtual object, and stops presenting the second virtual object in the virtual scene. That is, when the number of virtual objects of the same type as the second virtual object reaches the preset number, the earliest presented second virtual object is stopped from being presented in the virtual scene when a new virtual object of the type is created. For example, virtual objects A, B, and C belonging to type A can be presented in the virtual scene. Further, the electronic device 110 can create virtual object D of type A in the virtual scene in response to the interaction operation associated with the first virtual object, while stopping the earliest created virtual object A from being presented in the virtual scene.

[0079] Alternatively, the preset condition can indicate that a fifth interaction operation on the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object is received. For example, the electronic device 110 can stop presenting the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object in the virtual scene in response to the fifth interaction operation associated with the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object. For example, the electronic device 110 can provide a stop control (not shown in the figure) in the interaction interface 200C. Further, the electronic device 110 can stop presenting the second virtual object and / or the fourth virtual object in the virtual scene in response to a trigger (e.g., a click operation) on the stop control.

[0080] In this way, embodiments of this disclosure can create new virtual objects in a virtual scene by consuming virtual resources associated with the first virtual object, based on the user's interaction with the first virtual object. Furthermore, embodiments of this disclosure can also provide a third virtual object for adjusting virtual resources based on the actions of the new virtual object. Thus, embodiments of this disclosure can provide virtual objects for adjusting virtual resources based on the actions of virtual objects created by consuming virtual resources. This interactive method of adjusting virtual resources can be correlated with the actions of virtual objects, thereby improving the efficiency of acquiring virtual resources and meeting user needs.

[0081] Example Process

[0082] FIG. 3 A flowchart of an example process 300 for interactive control according to some embodiments of the present disclosure is shown. Process 300 can be implemented at electronic device 110. Reference is made below. FIG. 1 To describe process 300.
