[0065] Based on the above implementation environment, the embodiments of the present application provide a control method for a virtual vehicle. Taking Figure 2 the flowchart of a control method for a virtual vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application shown as an example, this method can be executed by Figure 1 the terminal device 101 in. As Figure 2 shown, this method includes the following steps:

[0066] In step 201, display the virtual vehicle in the virtual scene.

[0067] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, an application program for vehicle control is installed and run in a terminal device. The application program is a racing application or a competitive sports application. The type of the application program is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0068] In response to a triggering operation of an interaction object on the application program, a first scene is displayed. The first scene is the first screen displayed when the application program is selected. A start game control is displayed in the first scene. Of course, other controls may also be displayed in the first scene, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The interaction object is the object using the terminal device. As Figure 3 shown is a schematic diagram of the display of a first scene provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 3 a start game control 301 is displayed. Optionally, a virtual vehicle 302 may also be displayed.

[0069] In response to a triggering operation of the interaction object on the start game control, a virtual scene is displayed. A virtual vehicle is displayed in the virtual scene. Optionally, the virtual scene is a vehicle control interface, that is, a virtual vehicle to be controlled is displayed in the vehicle control interface. Exemplarily, a first direction component, a foot brake component, and an accelerator component may also be displayed in the vehicle control interface. Among them, the first direction component is used to adjust the driving direction of the virtual vehicle, the accelerator component is used to increase the driving speed of the virtual vehicle, and the foot brake component is used to decrease the driving speed of the virtual vehicle.

[0070] Optionally, at least one of a second direction component, a handbrake component, a reset component, and an acceleration component may also be displayed in the vehicle control interface, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Among them, the second direction component is used to adjust the driving direction of the virtual vehicle, and the direction corresponding to the second direction component is opposite to the direction corresponding to the first direction component. Exemplarily, the direction corresponding to the first direction component is left, that is, the first direction component is used to control the virtual vehicle to drive left; the direction corresponding to the second direction component is right, that is, the second direction component is used to control the virtual vehicle to drive right. Or, the direction corresponding to the first direction component is right, that is, the first direction component is used to control the virtual vehicle to drive right; the direction corresponding to the second direction component is left, that is, the second direction component is used to control the virtual vehicle to drive left. The handbrake component is used to reduce the driving speed of the virtual vehicle. The reset component is used to transfer the virtual vehicle to an open road surface and restart, and the reset component is used for the virtual vehicle to get out of trouble. The acceleration component is used to increase the driving speed of the virtual vehicle. In response to receiving a fifth operation triggered on the acceleration component, a fourth acceleration is obtained. The fourth acceleration is used to increase the driving speed of the virtual vehicle, and the fourth acceleration is greater than the first acceleration. The virtual vehicle is controlled to drive in the direction of the head of the virtual vehicle at the fourth acceleration within a fourth time period. Among them, the fourth time period can be set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the fourth time period is 30 seconds. The fourth acceleration is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is also not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the fourth acceleration is 40m / s 2 (meters per second 2 ). The fifth operation triggered on the acceleration component may be an operation of clicking the acceleration component, or other operations, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0071] Below the acceleration component, there is also an acceleration icon, in which a plurality of acceleration gas bottles are displayed. Among them, the number of gray acceleration gas bottles represents the number of acceleration gas bottles that the virtual vehicle can currently use, and the number of white acceleration gas bottles represents the number of acceleration gas bottles that the virtual vehicle can currently store. Each time the interaction object clicks the acceleration component, one gray acceleration gas bottle in the acceleration icon will turn white. The gas in the acceleration gas bottle can be nitrogen or other gases, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0072] As Figure 4 shown is a schematic display diagram of a vehicle control interface provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 4It shows a virtual vehicle 401 to be controlled, a first direction component 402, a second direction component 403, a foot brake component 404, an accelerator component 405, a hand brake component 406, and an acceleration component 407. Among them, in the acceleration icon included under the acceleration component, there are 2 gray acceleration gas cylinders and 2 white acceleration gas cylinders shown, that is, the number of acceleration gas cylinders that the virtual vehicle can currently use is 2, and the number of acceleration gas cylinders that the virtual vehicle can currently store is 2.

[0073] It should be noted that the above-mentioned first direction component, hand brake component, foot brake component, accelerator component, reset component, acceleration component, and second direction component can be displayed in the vehicle control interface, so that the interaction object can control the virtual vehicle in the virtual scene by operating the components. It can also be an independent component capable of interacting with the terminal device, so that the interaction object can control the virtual vehicle in the virtual scene in the terminal device by operating the independent component. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Optionally, the independent component can interact with the terminal device through a wired network or a wireless network.

[0074] In a possible implementation manner, based on the front direction of the virtual vehicle being the first direction, and receiving a third operation triggered on the accelerator component, a first acceleration is obtained. The first acceleration is used to increase the driving speed of the virtual vehicle, and the virtual vehicle is controlled to travel in the first direction at the first acceleration within the first duration.

[0075] Among them, the third operation triggered on the accelerator component can be a click operation on the accelerator component, or other operations. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Optionally, the first acceleration is set based on experience, or adjusted according to the implementation environment. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the first acceleration is 20m / s 2 . The first duration is set based on experience, or adjusted according to the implementation environment. The embodiments of the present application also do not limit this. Exemplarily, the first duration is 30 seconds.

[0076] Exemplarily, the front direction of the virtual vehicle is forward. When a click operation triggered on the accelerator component is received, a first acceleration is obtained. The first acceleration is 20m / s 2 , therefore, within 30 seconds, the virtual vehicle is controlled to travel forward at an acceleration of 20m / s 2 .

[0077] Optionally, based on the front direction of the virtual vehicle being the first direction, when the driving speed of the virtual vehicle meets the speed requirement, and receiving a second operation triggered on the foot brake component, a second acceleration is obtained. The second acceleration is used to reduce the driving speed of the virtual vehicle, and the virtual vehicle is controlled to travel in the first direction at the second acceleration within the second duration.

[0078] Among them, that the driving speed of the virtual vehicle meets the speed requirement means that the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is greater than 0. The second operation triggered on the foot brake component can be a single click operation on the foot brake component, or other operations, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The second acceleration is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the second acceleration is 10m / s 2 , and the second duration is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is also not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the second duration is 20 seconds.

[0079] Exemplarily, when the front direction of the virtual vehicle is forward, the driving speed of the virtual vehicle meets the speed requirement, and a click operation triggered on the foot brake component is received, the second acceleration is obtained, and the value of the second acceleration is -10m / s 2 , therefore, within 20 seconds, the virtual vehicle is controlled to travel in the first direction at a driving speed of -10m / s 2 .

[0080] In a possible implementation manner, based on the front direction of the virtual vehicle being the first direction, the driving speed of the virtual vehicle does not meet the speed requirement, and a first operation triggered on the foot brake component is received, the third acceleration is obtained, and the third acceleration is used to increase the driving speed of the virtual vehicle. The virtual vehicle is controlled to travel in the second direction opposite to the first direction at the third acceleration within the third duration.

[0081] Among them, that the driving speed of the virtual vehicle does not meet the speed requirement means that the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is 0. The first operation triggered on the foot brake component can be a long press operation on the foot brake component, or others, which are not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The first operation triggered on the foot brake component is different from the second operation triggered on the foot brake component. The third acceleration is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the third acceleration is 5m / s 2 . The third duration is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is also not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the third duration is 15 seconds.

[0082] Exemplarily, when the front direction of the virtual vehicle is forward and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is 0, when a long press operation triggered on the foot brake component is received, the third acceleration is obtained, and the third acceleration is 5m / s 2 , therefore, within 15 seconds, the virtual vehicle is controlled to travel backward at an acceleration of 5m / s 2 .

[0083] Optionally, based on the driving speed of the virtual vehicle meeting the speed requirement and receiving the first operation triggered on the foot brake component, control the driving speed of the virtual vehicle to be adjusted to the target driving speed within the fifth time period. The fifth time period is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the fifth time period is 15 seconds. The target driving speed is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the target driving speed is 0.

[0084] Exemplarily, when the virtual vehicle is driving at a speed of 100 km / h and a long press operation is triggered on the foot brake component, control the driving speed of the virtual vehicle to drop to 0 within 15 seconds.

[0085] In step 202, in response to receiving the first operation triggered on the first direction component, display the virtual vehicle with the changed head direction.

[0086] The first direction component is used to adjust the driving direction of the virtual vehicle. The first operation triggered on the first direction component can be a long press operation on the first direction component or other operations, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0087] Optionally, when the first operation triggered on the first direction component is received, display the virtual vehicle with the changed head direction in the virtual scene, and the changing direction of the head direction of the virtual vehicle is the same as the direction corresponding to the first direction component.

[0088] In step 203, in response to receiving the second operation triggered on the foot brake component and the third operation triggered on the accelerator component in sequence during the duration of the first operation, the driving speed of the virtual vehicle at the target time point being greater than the speed threshold, and the driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point being a flat running state, control the virtual vehicle to perform an inertial drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component.

[0089] The target time point is determined based on the triggering moment of the third operation. The difference between the target time point and the triggering moment of the third operation meets the difference requirement. Optionally, when the difference between the target time point and the triggering moment of the third operation is less than the difference threshold, it is determined that the difference between the target time point and the triggering moment of the third operation meets the difference requirement. Exemplarily, the difference threshold is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. For example, the difference threshold is 5 seconds. The target time point can be before the triggering moment of the third operation or after the triggering moment of the third operation, which is also not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0090] Optionally, the first operation triggered on the first direction component may be a long press operation on the first direction component or other operations. The second operation triggered on the foot brake component may be a click operation on the foot brake component, and the third operation triggered on the throttle component may be a click operation on the throttle component. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0091] In a possible implementation manner, before controlling the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component, it is necessary to first determine the driving speed and driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point. Therefore, it is necessary to first determine the target time point. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the determination method of the target time point. Exemplarily, determine the trigger moment of the third operation; based on the difference threshold and the trigger moment of the third operation, determine the target time period; randomly determine a time in the target time period as the target time point.

[0092] Exemplarily, the trigger moment of the third operation is 16:57:10, and the difference threshold is 5 seconds. Then the determined target time period is 16:57:05 - 16:57:15, and a time point is randomly determined in the target time period as the target time point. For example, 16:57:11 is the target time point.

[0093] The methods for obtaining the driving speed and driving state of the virtual vehicle at the current time point include: obtaining a first image, where the first image is an image of the virtual vehicle at the target time point; based on the first image, determining the driving speed and driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point.

[0094] Among them, there are the following two ways to obtain the first image.

[0095] The first way is to obtain the first image from the storage space of the terminal device.

[0096] Optionally, the storage space of the terminal device stores multiple images and the corresponding relationship between each image and the time point. Each image is an image of the virtual vehicle at the corresponding time point. After the terminal device determines the target time point, the image in the multiple images stored in the storage space of the terminal device with the same time point as the target time point is used as the first image.

[0097] The second way is that the terminal device obtains the first image through interaction with the server.

[0098] In a possible implementation, the server stores multiple images and the corresponding relationships between each image and a time point. Each image is an image of a virtual vehicle at the corresponding time point. After the terminal device determines the target time point, it sends an image acquisition request to the server. The image acquisition request carries the target time point and is used to acquire the first image of the virtual vehicle at the target time point. After receiving the image acquisition request, the server parses the image acquisition request to obtain the target time point. Furthermore, the server uses the image among the multiple images whose time point is the same as the target time point as the first image. The server sends the first image to the terminal device, that is, the terminal device acquires the first image.

[0099] It should be noted that any of the above implementation manners can be selected to acquire the first image, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0100] The process of determining the driving speed and driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point based on the first image includes: determining the driving speed shown in the first image as the driving speed of the virtual vehicle at the target time point. Based on the fact that the wheels of the virtual vehicle in the first image do not leave the surface of the carrier and the virtual vehicle is not in a drifting state, it is determined that the driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point is a flat-running state; or, based on the fact that the wheels of the virtual vehicle in the first image do not leave the surface of the carrier, it is determined that the driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point is a non-flat-running state; or, based on the fact that the wheels of the virtual vehicle in the first image do not leave the surface of the carrier and the virtual vehicle is in a drifting state, it is determined that the driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point is a non-flat-running state.

[0101] Among them, the surface of the carrier can be the ground, the surface of a bridge, the surface of a house, or the surface of other objects, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The flat-running state is used to indicate that the virtual vehicle accelerates forward on the surface of the carrier in a non-drifting state, and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle in the flat-running state is greater than the driving speed of the virtual vehicle during inertial drifting. Optionally, the fact that the wheels of the virtual vehicle do not leave the surface of the carrier means that at least one wheel of the virtual vehicle does not leave the surface of the carrier.

[0102] Optionally, when the virtual vehicle is in a drifting state, the first image further includes first information, and the first information is used to indicate that the virtual vehicle is in a drifting state. In response to the first image not including the first information, it indicates that the virtual vehicle is not in a drifting state; in response to the first image including the first information, it indicates that the virtual vehicle is in a drifting state.

[0103] In a possible implementation, the speed threshold can be set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the speed threshold is 100 km / h.

[0104] Optionally, while controlling the virtual vehicle to perform an inertial drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component, a notification message can also be displayed, and the notification message is used to indicate the driving state of the virtual vehicle. Exemplarily, the notification message can be displayed in the vehicle control interface.

[0105] As Figure 5 shown is a schematic diagram of the display of a notification message provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 5 , the virtual vehicle is performing an inertial drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component, Figure 5 and the "inertial drift" shown in Figure 5 is the notification message, that is, the current driving state of the virtual vehicle is the inertial drift state. Optionally,

[0106] After controlling the virtual vehicle to perform an inertial drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component, the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment can also be determined; based on the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment, the driving state of the virtual vehicle is adjusted.

[0107] Among them, the process of determining the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment includes: determining the driving angle and the front head angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment; according to the driving angle and the front head angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment, determining the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment. Optionally, the front head angle refers to the interior angle between the line pointing from the rear of the vehicle to the front of the vehicle and the coordinate line, and the coordinate line is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment. Exemplarily, the coordinate line is a horizontal line. The absolute value of the difference between the driving angle and the front head angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is used as the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment.

[0108] When the virtual vehicle is driving forward normally, since the speed direction of the virtual vehicle is basically equal to the front head direction, that is, the speed angle of the virtual vehicle is basically equal to the front head angle, therefore, the determined drift angle of the virtual vehicle is approximately equal to 0 degrees. When the virtual vehicle is reversing, since the speed direction of the virtual vehicle is opposite to the front head direction, that is, the speed angle of the virtual vehicle is 270 degrees, and the front head angle of the virtual vehicle is 90 degrees, therefore, the determined drift angle of the virtual vehicle is 180 degrees.

[0109] As Figure 6 shown is a schematic diagram of the display of the speed angle and the front head angle of a virtual vehicle at the current moment provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 6 , ∠1 is the front head angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment, ∠2 is the speed angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment, and the dashed line is the coordinate line.

[0110] Exemplarily, the front angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is 30 degrees, and the driving angle is 10 degrees. Therefore, it is determined that the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is 20 degrees.

[0111] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner of determining the driving angle and the front angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment. Optionally, a second image is obtained, and the second image is an image of the virtual vehicle at the current moment; according to the second image, the front angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is determined; the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the first moment is obtained, the first moment is adjacent to the current moment and earlier than the current moment; according to the front angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment and the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the first moment, the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is determined.

[0112] Optionally, according to the front angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment and the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the first moment, the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is determined according to the following formula (1).

[0113] V i =S*(d i -V t )+V t Formula (1)

[0114] In the above formula (1), V u is the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment, S is the grip, d i is the front angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment, V t is the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the first moment. The grip is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. For example, the grip is 0.5.

[0115] Exemplarily, the front angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is 105 degrees, the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the first moment is 15 degrees, and the grip is 0.5. Based on the above formula (1), it is determined that the driving angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is 0.5*(105 - 15)+15 = 60 degrees. Further, it is determined that the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is 45 degrees.

[0116] Optionally, the process of adjusting the driving state of the virtual vehicle based on the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment includes the following three situations.

[0117] Situation 1: Based on the drift angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment being less than the first angle, control the virtual vehicle to travel in a flat - running state in the direction corresponding to the first direction component.

[0118] Optionally, the driving speed of the virtual vehicle when in a flat running state is greater than the driving speed of the virtual vehicle when performing inertial drifting. The first angle can be set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the first angle is 13 degrees.

[0119] Exemplarily, the drifting angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is 12 degrees, and the first angle is 13 degrees. Since the drifting angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is less than the first angle, the virtual vehicle is controlled to travel in the direction corresponding to the first direction component in a flat running state.

[0120] Case 2: Based on the drifting angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment being greater than the second angle, the virtual vehicle is controlled to perform ordinary drifting in the direction corresponding to the first direction component.

[0121] Optionally, the driving speed of the virtual vehicle when performing ordinary drifting is less than the driving speed of the virtual vehicle when performing inertial drifting, and the second angle is greater than the first angle. The second angle is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the second angle is 30 degrees.

[0122] Exemplarily, the drifting angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is 33 degrees, and the second angle is 30 degrees. Since the drifting angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is greater than the second angle, the virtual vehicle is controlled to perform ordinary drifting in the direction corresponding to the first direction component.

[0123] Case 3: Based on the drifting angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment being not less than the first angle and not greater than the second angle, the virtual vehicle is controlled to perform inertial drifting in the direction corresponding to the first direction component. The second angle is greater than the first angle.

[0124] Exemplarily, the drifting angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is 20 degrees, the first angle is 13 degrees, and the second angle is 30 degrees. Since the drifting angle of the virtual vehicle at the current moment is not less than the first angle and not greater than the second angle, the virtual vehicle is controlled to perform inertial drifting in the direction corresponding to the first direction component.

[0125] Optionally, a handbrake component can also be displayed on the vehicle control interface. The handbrake component is used to adjust the driving speed of the virtual vehicle. After controlling the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drifting in the direction corresponding to the first direction component, in response to receiving a fourth operation triggered on the handbrake component, the virtual vehicle is controlled to perform ordinary drifting in the direction corresponding to the first direction component, and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle when performing ordinary drifting is less than the driving speed of the virtual vehicle when performing inertial drifting. The fourth operation triggered on the handbrake component can be a click operation on the handbrake component or other operations, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0126] Optionally, when controlling the virtual vehicle to perform normal drifting in the direction corresponding to the first direction component, a notification message may also be displayed. The notification message is used to indicate the driving state of the virtual vehicle. The display process of the notification message is similar to the display process when controlling the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drifting in the direction corresponding to the first direction component, and will not be elaborated here.

[0127] As Figure 7 shown is a display schematic diagram of a virtual vehicle performing normal drifting provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 7 701, the virtual vehicle is in a flat running state, and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is 220 km / h; Figure 7 In 702, the virtual vehicle is in a normal drifting state, and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is 185 km / h; Figure 7 In 703, the virtual vehicle is in a normal drifting state, and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is 157 km / h. After starting normal drifting, the driving speed of the virtual vehicle quickly drops to 157 km / h within 2 seconds and remains.

[0128] As Figure 8 shown is a display schematic diagram of a virtual vehicle performing inertial drifting provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 8 801, the virtual vehicle is in a flat running state, and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is 219 km / h; Figure 8 In 802, the virtual vehicle is in an inertial drifting state, and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is 199 km / h; Figure 8 In 803, the virtual vehicle is in an inertial drifting state, and the driving speed of the virtual vehicle is 196 km / h. After starting inertial drifting, the driving speed of the virtual vehicle quickly drops to 196 km / h within 1 second and remains.

[0129] As Figure 9 shown is a display schematic diagram of the drifting trajectories of normal drifting and inertial drifting provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the dotted drifting trajectory is the drifting trajectory of inertial drifting, and the solid drifting trajectory is the drifting trajectory of normal drifting. From Figure 9 it can be seen that inertial drifting is suitable for large and gentle curves.

[0130] When the above method controls the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drifting, the player only needs to operate the direction component, the foot brake component, and the accelerator component to control the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drifting. Therefore, this method improves the player's control over the vehicle, makes the vehicle control method more flexible, and thus can improve the player's gaming experience.

[0131] Moreover, controlling the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift by operating the direction component, the throttle component, and the foot brake component is more in line with the way of operating a real vehicle to perform inertial drift, making the authenticity of controlling the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift relatively high.

[0132] Figure 10 It is a schematic diagram of a process for controlling a virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 10 1001 in, the virtual vehicle is preparing to pass through a gentle curve with a longer inner arc. Using ordinary drift may cause the vehicle route not to fit the curve and the cornering speed to be slow. Figure 10 The driving speed of the virtual vehicle in 1001 in is 168 km / h. Figure 10 In 1002 in, the interaction object clicks the right direction component to adjust the front direction of the virtual vehicle. Figure 10 In 1003 in, the interaction object holds the right direction component and does not release it, clicks the foot brake component, clicks the throttle component, determines the driving speed and driving state of the virtual vehicle when clicking the throttle component. Based on the driving speed of the virtual vehicle being greater than the speed threshold when clicking the throttle component and the driving state being the flat running state, control the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift to the right, so that the vehicle passes through with a small-angle side slip and fits the curve, and display a notification message to prompt the interaction object that the virtual vehicle is in the inertial drift state. Figure 10 In 1004 in, the interaction object repeatedly adjusts the direction component to control the drift angle of the virtual vehicle between the first angle and the second angle, and maintains the inertial drift state of the virtual vehicle. Figure 10 In 1005 in, when the interaction object wants to stop inertial drift, the left direction component can be triggered to make the drift angle less than the first angle. At this time, the virtual vehicle will exit the inertial drift and drive in the flat running state.

[0133] Figure 11 It is a flowchart of a control method for a virtual vehicle provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 11 Upon receiving a first operation triggered on the first direction component, a second operation triggered on the foot brake component, and a third operation triggered on the throttle component, determine whether the driving information of the virtual vehicle at the target time point meets the drift condition. Based on the driving information of the virtual vehicle at the target time point meeting the drift condition, control the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component. Wherein, the driving information of the virtual vehicle at the target time point meeting the drift condition means that the driving speed of the virtual vehicle at the target time point is greater than the speed threshold and the driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point is the flat running state.

[0134] Determine whether the drift angle of the virtual vehicle is not greater than the second angle and not less than the first angle. Based on the drift angle of the virtual vehicle being not greater than the second angle and not less than the first angle, control the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component. In response to receiving an operation triggered on the handbrake component, control the virtual vehicle to perform normal drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component.

[0135] Based on the drift angle of the virtual vehicle not being between the first angle and the second angle, determine whether the drift angle of the virtual vehicle is less than the first angle. Based on the drift angle of the virtual vehicle being less than the first angle, control the virtual vehicle to travel in the direction corresponding to the first direction component in a flat running state. Based on the drift angle of the virtual vehicle not being less than the first angle (that is, the drift angle of the virtual vehicle being greater than the second angle), control the virtual vehicle to perform normal drift in the direction corresponding to the first direction component.

[0150] In a possible implementation, the device further includes:

[0151] An acquisition module, configured to obtain a first acceleration based on that the front direction of the virtual vehicle is the first direction and a third operation triggered on the throttle component is received.

[0174] The acceleration sensor 1311 can detect the magnitude of acceleration on the three coordinate axes of the coordinate system established with the terminal device 1300. For example, the acceleration sensor 1311 can be used to detect the components of the gravitational acceleration on the three coordinate axes. The processor 1301 can control the display screen 1305 to display the user interface in a horizontal view or a vertical view according to the gravitational acceleration signal collected by the acceleration sensor 1311. The acceleration sensor 1311 can also be used for collecting game or user's motion data.

[0175] The gyroscope sensor 1312 can detect the body direction and rotation angle of the terminal device 1300. The gyroscope sensor 1312 can cooperate with the acceleration sensor 1311 to collect the 3D actions of the user on the terminal device 1300. Based on the data collected by the gyroscope sensor 1312, the processor 1301 can achieve the following functions: motion sensing (such as changing the UI according to the user's tilt operation), image stabilization during shooting, game control, and inertial navigation.

[0176] The pressure sensor 1313 can be disposed on the side frame of the terminal device 1300 and / or the lower layer of the display screen 1305.

Specifically, when the ambient light intensity is high, the display brightness of the display screen 1305 is increased; when the ambient light intensity is low, the display brightness of the display screen 1305 is decreased. In another embodiment, the processor 1301 can also dynamically adjust the shooting parameters of the camera assembly 1306 according to the ambient light intensity collected by the optical sensor 1315.

[0178] The proximity sensor 1316, also known as a distance sensor, is usually disposed on the front panel of the terminal device 1300. The proximity sensor 1316 is used to collect the distance between the user and the front of the terminal device 1300. In one embodiment, when the proximity sensor 1316 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the terminal device 1300 is gradually decreasing, the processor 1301 controls the display screen 1305 to switch from the lit state to the off state; when the proximity sensor 1316 detects that the distance between the user and the front of the terminal device 1300 is gradually increasing, the processor 1301 controls the display screen 1305 to switch from the off state to the lit state.
