[0039] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0040] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present application and the above-mentioned drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchangeable where appropriate, so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any of their variations are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, for example, a process, method, system, product or device comprising a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0041] According to one aspect of the embodiments of the present application, a live interactive method of a virtual character is provided. Optionally, as an optional implementation, the live interactive method of the virtual character can be applied to, but is not limited to, Figure 1 In the environment shown, the environment may include, but is not limited to, a user device 102 and a server 112 . The user device 102 may include, but is not limited to, a display 104 , a processor 106 , and a memory 108 . The server 112 includes a database 114 and a processing engine 116 .

[0042] The specific process can be as follows:

[0043] Step S102, the user device 102 displays the virtual live broadcast character in the virtual environment through the display 104, and obtains a live broadcast interaction request triggered by the virtual live broadcast character, wherein the live broadcast interaction request is used to request to send a virtual interactive prop to the virtual live broadcast character;

[0044] Steps S104-S106, sending the live interactive request to the server 112 via the network 110;

[0045] Steps S108-S110, the server 112 determines the interaction conditions satisfied by the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live character through the processing engine 116, and further obtains corresponding interaction indication information based on the different satisfied interaction conditions, wherein the interaction indication information is used to indicate which interactive action the virtual live character performs in which virtual environment;

[0046] Steps S112-S114, send the interaction indication information to the user device 102 through the network 110, and the user device 102 plays the live stream or video stream through the processor 106 according to the instructions of the interaction indication information, and displays the playback screen on the display 104, and stores the above-mentioned interaction indication information in the memory 108, wherein the live stream is used to play the live screen when the virtual live character is broadcasting live, and the video stream is used to play the video screen when the virtual live character performs interactive actions.

[0047] remove Figure 1 In addition to the examples shown, the above steps can be completed independently by the user device or the server, or by the user device and the server in collaboration, such as the user device 102 executing the above steps S108-S110, thereby reducing the processing pressure of the server 112. The user device 102 includes but is not limited to handheld devices (such as mobile phones), laptops, tablet computers, desktop computers, vehicle-mounted devices, smart TVs, etc., and the present application does not limit the specific implementation of the user device 102. The server 112 can be a single server or a server cluster consisting of multiple servers, or a cloud server.

[0048] Optionally, as an optional implementation, as Figure 2 As shown, the live interactive method of a virtual character can be executed by an electronic device, such as Figure 1 The user device or server shown in the figure comprises:

[0049] S202, displaying a virtual live broadcast character in a first virtual environment;

[0050] S204, when the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live broadcast character meets the first interactive condition, displaying the virtual live broadcast character to perform a first interactive action in the first virtual environment, wherein the first interactive action is an interactive action that matches the first interactive condition;

[0051] S206, when the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live broadcast character meets the second interactive condition, the virtual live broadcast character is displayed to perform a second interactive action in the second virtual environment, wherein the second interactive action is an interactive action matched by the second interactive condition, the number of virtual interactive props required to meet the second interactive condition is greater than the number of virtual interactive props required to meet the first interactive condition, and the second virtual environment is different from the first virtual environment.

[0052] Optionally, in this embodiment, the live broadcast interaction method of the virtual character can be applied to, but not limited to, the live broadcast scene of the virtual anchor, wherein the virtual anchor (virtual live broadcast character) can be, but not limited to, a virtual character created by computer technology and virtual reality technology, which can be broadcast live and interact on a network platform. Virtual anchors usually have unique appearances, voices, and personalities, and use artificial intelligence technology to achieve real-time interaction with the audience. In addition, virtual anchors can be, but not limited to, characters played by real people, or virtual live broadcast characters generated by artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

[0053] For virtual anchors played by real people, the anchor's movements and expressions are usually converted into virtual images in real time by using special camera equipment and virtual reality technology, and then live broadcasts and interactions are carried out on the live broadcast platform in the image of the virtual live broadcast character. For AI-generated virtual anchors, the virtual image is usually generated by artificial intelligence technology, and the voice and language of the virtual anchor are simulated using speech synthesis technology. This type of virtual anchor can interact with the audience through a dialogue system, but its behavior and performance are often pre-programmed or generated by machine learning algorithms.

[0054] Optionally, the virtual live broadcast character in this embodiment can be but is not limited to an AI-generated virtual anchor. Compared with a virtual anchor played by a real person, the AI-generated virtual anchor has a greater sense of distance from the users watching the live broadcast, and thus the AI-generated virtual anchor needs to interact more with the users watching the live broadcast.

[0055] Optionally, in this embodiment, the virtual environment may be created by computer image synthesis technology and may include various elements, such as background, props, lighting, etc.

[0056] Specifically, the background of the virtual environment can be any image or scene, such as a city street, an indoor room, a stage, and so on. These backgrounds can be designed and produced by a 3D rendering engine or image processing software. Various props can be used in the virtual environment to enhance the scene effect, such as tables, chairs, props, etc. These props can be synthesized with the virtual live characters to make the virtual live characters and props look more naturally integrated. The lights in the virtual environment can be used to simulate real lighting effects to make the virtual environment look more realistic. The lights can be set as needed. Attributes such as position, color, and brightness to create the desired lighting effect.

[0057] The virtual environment may also include other elements, such as special effects, text, animation, etc. These elements can be used to enhance the visual effects of the live broadcast, such as allowing special effects to be displayed around virtual banknote objects, or allowing text to appear at a certain position on the live broadcast screen.

[0058] For further example, assuming that the live broadcast content of the virtual live broadcast object is about music, the live broadcast environment of the virtual live broadcast object may be a virtual concert hall or music studio. In this environment, the virtual live broadcast object can play music with virtual instruments or enjoy music with virtual audiences. At the same time, special effects can also be used to simulate the effects of real music performances, such as flashing lights, smoke and other effects.

[0059] It should be noted that during the live broadcast process, the virtual live broadcast character usually uses the same virtual environment and does not change it easily. However, when the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live broadcast character meet the second interactive condition, the user hopes to change the live broadcast environment of the virtual live broadcast object through the virtual interactive props. In this case, the virtual environment of the virtual live broadcast object will be changed.

[0060] To further illustrate, for example, Figure 3 As shown in (a), the virtual live character 304 is currently in the first virtual environment 302. Further, when the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live character 304 meet the second interactive condition, the virtual environment currently in which the virtual live character 304 is located is changed to the second virtual environment 306, such as Figure 3 As shown in (b) in .

[0061] Optionally, in this embodiment, during the live broadcast of the virtual live object, users watching the live broadcast can achieve online interaction with the virtual live object by sending virtual interactive props. These virtual interactive props may include but are not limited to virtual items, special effects, text, etc.

[0062] Specifically, virtual gifts are one of the common interactive props in virtual live broadcasts. Users can buy virtual gifts and give them to virtual characters during live broadcasts. These virtual gifts can be virtual bouquets, virtual chocolates, virtual drinks, etc. When the virtual live broadcast object receives these gifts, it can make corresponding actions or performances to express gratitude and respect to the user. Special effect props allow users to add some special effects to the live broadcast, such as fireworks, rain and snow, falling objects, etc. These special effect props can enhance the visual effect of the live broadcast and make the audience more immersed in the virtual scene. Text props allow users to add some text special effects to the live broadcast, such as floating text, text animation, etc. These text props can be used to express users' opinions or demands, or enhance the atmosphere and effect of the live broadcast. In addition to the above props, there can be other types of interactive props in virtual live broadcasts, such as users can play interactive games with virtual live broadcast objects, answer questions, etc. These interactive props allow users to participate in the live broadcast more actively, enhancing the interactivity and viewing of the live broadcast.

[0063] To further illustrate, for example, Figure 4 As shown, in response to the sending operation performed on the virtual interactive prop 402, the virtual interactive prop 402 is sent to the virtual live broadcast character 404, and the virtual live broadcast character 404 will further make corresponding interactive actions according to the attribute information of the virtual interactive prop 402, such as the prop type, prop value, or prop quantity.

[0064] Optionally, in this embodiment, when the virtual live broadcast character performs a certain interactive action, it is necessary to first determine whether the number of virtual interactive props required for the corresponding interactive condition is met. For example, the interactive condition corresponding to the dance action (interactive action) is "giving the virtual live broadcast character 10 virtual roses". At this time, the user needs to give the virtual live broadcast character 10 virtual roses (virtual interactive props) to trigger the virtual live broadcast character to perform the dance action.

[0065] In addition, in this embodiment, in order to more intuitively let users watching the live broadcast know how to trigger the corresponding interactive actions, the interactive conditions corresponding to each interactive action and the type, value, or quantity of interactive props required for each interactive condition can be displayed without limitation, such as displaying the first interactive condition corresponding to triggering the first interactive action, and the type of interactive props required when the first interactive condition is met is a virtual interactive prop, as well as the number of virtual interactive props required, etc.

[0066] Optionally, in this embodiment, when watching the live broadcast of the virtual live character, the audience (such as user account A) can choose to watch the live broadcast of the virtual live character alone, or invite other audiences (such as user account B) to watch the live broadcast of the virtual live character together by sending virtual props, wherein the invited user account B can be a designated user account of user account A, or it can be some user accounts randomly selected from the user account set, or it can be all user accounts in the user account set, and the user account set can be but is not limited to a set divided according to region, intimacy, and online status information.

[0067] It should be noted that this embodiment uses virtual interactive props that meet different interactive conditions to trigger the virtual live broadcast character to perform different interactive actions, and uses virtual interactive props that meet higher-order (second) interactive conditions to synchronously change the virtual environment in which the virtual live broadcast character performs interactive actions, thereby providing a more efficient interaction method for accounts watching the virtual character live broadcast, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the live broadcast interaction efficiency of the virtual character.

[0068] To further illustrate, the optional Figure 5 As shown in (a) of FIG. 5 , a virtual live character 502 located in a first virtual environment 504 is displayed; further, when the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live character meet the first interactive condition, such as Figure 5 As shown in (b) of FIG. 5 , the virtual live character 502 is shown to perform a first interactive action (such as a dancing action) in the first virtual environment 504; further, when the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live character meet the second interactive condition, such as Figure 5 As shown in (c), the virtual live broadcast character 502 is shown to perform a second interactive action (such as a dance action, which may be different from or the same as the first interactive action) in a second virtual environment 508 (compared to the first virtual environment 504, the second virtual environment 508 is more gorgeous and has a better user experience);

[0069] The number of virtual interactive props 506 required to meet the second interactive condition is greater than the number of virtual interactive props 506 required to meet the first interactive condition. Figure 5 (b) in the example above sends out 10 virtual interactive props 506, which is only the number of virtual interactive props 506 required to meet the first interactive condition, and the number of virtual interactive props 506 required to meet the second interactive condition is 30. Figure 5 As shown in (c) in the figure, 20 virtual interactive channels 506 are sent out, and a total of 30 virtual interactive channels 506 have been sent out, which is the number of virtual interactive props 506 required to meet the second interactive condition, thereby displaying the virtual live broadcast character 502 performing the second interactive action in the second virtual environment 508.

[0070] Through the embodiments provided by the present application, a virtual live broadcast character located in a first virtual environment is displayed; when the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live broadcast character meet the first interactive condition, the virtual live broadcast character is displayed to perform a first interactive action in the first virtual environment, wherein the first interactive action is an interactive action matched by the first interactive condition; when the virtual interactive props received by the virtual live broadcast character meet the second interactive condition, the virtual live broadcast character is displayed to perform a second interactive action in the second virtual environment, wherein the second interactive action is an interactive action matched by the second interactive condition, the number of virtual interactive props required to meet the second interactive condition is greater than the number of virtual interactive props required to meet the first interactive condition, and the second virtual environment is different from the first virtual environment. By using virtual interactive props that meet different interactive conditions, the virtual live broadcast character is triggered to perform different interactive actions, and by using virtual interactive props that meet the higher-order (second) interactive condition, the virtual environment in which the virtual live broadcast character is located when performing the interactive action is synchronously changed, thereby achieving the purpose of providing a more efficient interactive method for the account watching the virtual character live broadcast, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the live interactive efficiency of the virtual character.

[0071] As an optional solution, in the process of displaying the virtual live broadcast character performing the first interactive action in the first virtual environment, the method further includes: displaying first feedback information, wherein the first feedback information is feedback information of matching the first interactive condition, and the feedback information is interactive information fed back by the virtual live broadcast character after receiving the virtual interactive prop;

[0072] As an optional solution, in the process of displaying the virtual live character performing a second interactive action in the second virtual environment, the method further includes: displaying second feedback information, wherein the second feedback information is feedback information that is integrated with the second virtual environment and matches the second interactive condition.

[0073] Optionally, in this embodiment, the feedback information is interactive information fed back by the virtual live character after receiving the virtual interactive props. In addition, the feedback information can also be displayed in different forms, such as bubble form, barrage form, text form, cartoon form, dynamic form, etc.

[0074] Optionally, in this embodiment, based on Figure 5 The scene shown, continue as Figure 6 As shown, the first feedback information 602 is feedback information matching the first interaction condition, such as "the virtual interactive props you sent have met the first interaction condition, congratulations on triggering the corresponding interaction effect!".

[0075] Optionally, in this embodiment, based on Figure 5 The scene shown, continue as Figure 7 As shown, the second feedback information 702 is feedback information that is integrated with the second virtual environment 508 and matches the second interaction condition, such as "The virtual interactive props you sent have met the second interaction condition, and the anchor (virtual live broadcast character 502) will dance for you on a more gorgeous stage (second virtual environment 508)!".

[0076] It should be noted that in order to improve the intuitiveness of the virtual live broadcast character's execution of interactive actions, corresponding feedback information is synchronously displayed during the process of the virtual live broadcast character performing interactive actions.

[0077] Through the embodiments provided by the present application, first feedback information is displayed, wherein the first feedback information is feedback information that matches the first interactive condition, and the feedback information is interactive information that the virtual live character feeds back after receiving the virtual interactive props; second feedback information is displayed, wherein the second feedback information is feedback information that is integrated with the second virtual environment and matches the second interactive condition, thereby achieving the purpose of synchronously displaying the corresponding feedback information during the virtual live character's execution of the interactive action, thereby achieving the technical effect of improving the intuitiveness of the virtual live character's execution of the interactive action.

[0078] As an optional solution, displaying the first feedback information includes at least one of the following:

[0079] S1-1, displaying first feedback information in a bullet screen area associated with the live broadcast room to which the virtual live broadcast character belongs;

[0096] In addition, in this embodiment, the temporarily paused screen can also be presented in a semi-transparent manner, such as half-covered with a tulle, so that the audience can neither see the actual video screen nor can they seem to be able to see part of the video screen content (part of the video screen content can be played in a lower transparency manner in the temporarily paused screen). The purpose is also to increase the user's enthusiasm for interaction and make the audience curious about the actual screen content under the cover.

[0097] It should be noted that, assuming that a specific screen where the virtual environment changes is restricted is only displayed on the first client, the specific implementation method is to increase the playback priority of the video screen, and then when the video data stream and the live data stream are obtained, the video data is used first to play the video screen.

[0098] To further illustrate, the optional Fig.10As shown, the first client 1004 and other clients (such as client 1, client 2, client n, etc.) obtain the live data stream 1006 sent by the live server 1002, and the first client 1004 alone obtains the video data stream 1008 sent by the live server 1002; further, the first client 1004 and other clients (such as client 1, client 2, client n, etc.) use the live data stream 1006 to play the live screen (the shaded bar indicates the playback of the live screen), and when the first client 1004 obtains the live data stream 1006 and the video data stream 1008 at the same time, the video data stream 1008 is used first to play the video screen (the pure white bar indicates the playback of the video screen), until the playback of the video screen is completed, and the first client 1004 uses the live data stream 1006 to play the live screen (the shaded bar indicates the playback of the live screen).

[0120] As an optional solution, displaying the virtual live broadcast character to perform a first interactive action in the first virtual environment includes: displaying the virtual live broadcast character to perform an interactive action of a first duration in the first virtual environment;

[0121] As an optional solution, displaying the virtual live character performing a second interactive action in the second virtual environment includes: displaying the virtual live character performing the interactive action for a second duration in the second virtual environment, wherein the second duration is greater than the first duration.

[0122] It should be noted that in order to increase the diversity of interactive actions, in addition to setting different interactive actions, the execution duration of the interactive actions can also be set differently, such as higher-order interactive actions corresponding to longer execution times (the second duration is greater than the first duration).

[0123] Through the embodiments provided by the present application, a virtual live character is displayed to perform an interactive action of a first duration in a first virtual environment; and a virtual live character is displayed to perform an interactive action of a second duration in a second virtual environment, wherein the second duration is greater than the first duration, thereby achieving the purpose of differentiated setting of the execution duration of the interactive action, thereby realizing the technical effect of increasing the diversity of the interactive actions.

[0124] As an optional solution, for ease of understanding, the live broadcast interaction method of the above-mentioned virtual character is applied to the virtual human live broadcast scene. When the audience reaches a preset threshold by sending gifts in the virtual human live broadcast room, the virtual human live broadcast room triggers the animation video of the virtual human pre-stored by the audience client. Except for the triggered audience, other viewers cannot see it. On the one hand, it strengthens the interaction between the triggered audience and the virtual person, and on the other hand, it avoids interrupting other viewers and causing negative experience. For example, when the threshold of dance gifts is reached, the live broadcast room becomes a stage scene, the virtual anchor starts dancing, and text thanking the audience is displayed, calling the audience; for another example, when the threshold of sushi gifts is reached, the live broadcast room becomes a sushi restaurant, the virtual anchor starts eating, and text thanking the audience is displayed, thanking the audience for feeding.

[0125] Optionally, in this embodiment, the interactive actions between the user and the virtual anchor can be pre-stored videos without restrictions, such as dancing, eating, parachuting, diving, etc., and the scenes will also change accordingly, which can strengthen the interactive relationship between the audience and the virtual anchor.

[0126] Optionally, in this embodiment, the audience can click on a special gift that can trigger the action of the virtual anchor in the gift panel of the live broadcast room. The gift will display several stages of score thresholds, usually 1-3 levels, and each level will display different degrees of video playback. The higher the level, the better the effect of the video. After the audience clicks to send a gift, when the corresponding level is reached, the virtual human live broadcast room triggers the animation video of the virtual human pre-stored by the audience client. Except for the triggering audience, other viewers cannot see it.

[0127] Specifically, the triggering effects of the dancing gift include level 1, level 2, and level 3. Level 1 corresponds to the host dancing a 10-second cheering dance and thanking the audience with barrage of comments. Level 2 corresponds to the host dancing a 20-second cheering dance with some lighting effects and bubble thanks. Level 3 corresponds to the host dancing a 30-second cheering dance, and the live broadcast room becomes a stage background. There is a large banner above the stage showing text thanking the audience.

[0128] For example, the trigger effects of the sushi gift include level 1, level 2, and level 3. Level 1 corresponds to the host holding sushi and starting to eat, with barrage of thanks. Level 2 corresponds to the host getting a large plate of sushi and starting to eat, with bubbles of thanks. Level 3 corresponds to the live broadcast room turning into a sushi restaurant, the host sitting in the restaurant and starting to eat sushi, with text showing thanks to the viewer for feeding.

[0129] To further illustrate, for example, Fig.12 As shown in the figure, viewers can click on special gifts in the gift panel of the live broadcast room to trigger the virtual anchor's actions. Fig.12 The scene shown, continue as Fig.13 As shown in the figure, gift tips will display several levels of points thresholds. Each level will show different levels of video playback. The higher the level, the better the effect of the video. For example, level 1 corresponds to 100 points, level 2 corresponds to 500 points, level 3 corresponds to 1000 points, and 1 dancing gift corresponds to 10 points. After the audience clicks on the gift, when the corresponding level points are reached, based on Fig.12 The scene shown, continue as Fig.14 As shown, the corresponding animation video is played, and the animation video is invisible to other viewers except the triggering audience. The score threshold corresponding to each level can be customized by the anchor.

[0130] Optionally, in this embodiment, for a specific user group, after the confession gift threshold is triggered, the audience can choose to send this confession to the client of the corresponding specific user group for sharing, playback and viewing.

[0131] It should be noted that although users can control the virtual person to perform certain actions through barrage, there are certain limitations in the complexity of the actions, including that the scene will not change accordingly. This embodiment uses the method of pre-storing videos to allow the interactive actions between users and virtual anchors to be unrestricted, such as dancing, eating, parachuting, diving, etc., and the scene will change accordingly. It can strengthen the interactive relationship between the audience and the virtual anchor.

[0132] To further illustrate, the optional Fig.15As shown, the audience requests the server for special gifts that can trigger the virtual anchor's actions in the gift panel of the live broadcast room, and the server returns the special gift. The audience's mouse stays on the special gift and requests the server to return the level information. The server returns parameters including the level, the score value, and the corresponding effect description text in the tips bubble in the interface. The audience clicks on the gift and requests the server to play the special effect. The server determines whether the gift points have reached the level. If not, the video is not played. If it is determined to have reached the level, it continues to determine its level. Then the corresponding pre-stored video level is returned to the user's interface, and other users are blocked. According to different levels, the server returns different levels of virtual anchor thank-you information to the user's client interface. Level 1 is bullet screen thank-you, level 2 is bubble thank-you, and level 3 is text thank-you information integrated into the scene.

[0133] Through the embodiments provided by the present application, when the gift giving in the virtual person live broadcast room reaches a preset threshold, the virtual person live broadcast room triggers the animation video of the virtual person pre-stored by the audience client. Except for the triggering audience, other audiences cannot see it. On the one hand, it strengthens the interaction between the triggering audience and the virtual person, and on the other hand, it avoids interrupting other audiences and causing negative experience.
