[0042] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments in the present application without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0043] In the present application, terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish the same items or similar items with basically the same functions and effects. It should be understood that there is no logical or temporal dependence between "first" and "second", nor are the quantity and execution order limited.

[0044] First, a brief introduction to the nouns involved in the embodiments of the present application is as follows:

[0045] Virtual scene: The virtual scene includes the scene displayed when the target application runs on the terminal. For example, the game scene displayed when a shooting game runs on the terminal. The virtual scene includes at least one of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5D virtual scene, a three-dimensional virtual scene, etc. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The virtual scene can be a completely fictional scene, or a simulation scene of the real world, or a semi-simulation and semi-fictional scene.

[0046] Virtual object: A virtual object refers to an activatable object in a virtual scene. The activatable object can be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an anime character, etc. For example, the characters, animals, plants, oil drums, walls, stones, etc. displayed in the virtual scene. Optionally, when the virtual scene is implemented as a three-dimensional virtual scene, the virtual object is a three-dimensional solid model created based on the animation skeleton technology. Each virtual object has its own shape and volume in the three-dimensional virtual environment and occupies a part of the space in the three-dimensional virtual environment.

[0047] In an application that supports a virtual scene, players need to use virtual vehicles to transfer and fight in the virtual scene. Schematically, when a player needs to drive a virtual vehicle, by clicking on the driving control, a picture of driving the virtual vehicle will be displayed on the terminal, and the player can perform driving operations on the virtual vehicle.

[0048] In the related art, when there are two or more virtual vehicles available for players to operate in the virtual scene, after the player clicks on the interaction control, the background will randomly allocate a virtual vehicle available for the player to operate. Schematically, please refer to Figure 1 , in the virtual scene 100, there are displayed a virtual object 101, a first virtual vehicle 102, and a second virtual vehicle 103. By clicking on the driving control 104, a picture of the virtual object 101 driving the first virtual vehicle 102, or a picture of the virtual object 101 driving the second virtual vehicle 103 will be displayed. That is to say, before the player clicks on the driving control 104, the player is uncertain about the virtual vehicle on which they will perform the driving operation. Therefore, in the implementation process of the related art, the following situations will occur:

[0049] (1) When a virtual vehicle needs to be selected for driving, the player cannot clearly identify the virtual vehicle they want to drive and may need to perform multiple operations to select the virtual vehicle they need;

[0050] (2) When players belonging to the same team need to operate different virtual vehicles for transfer respectively, misoperations may occur, resulting in two players getting on the same virtual vehicle.

[0051] Both of the above situations will affect the transfer efficiency of players using virtual vehicles for transfer in the virtual scene, resulting in low human-computer interaction efficiency and poor user experience for players.

[0052] In the method for selecting a virtual vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application, when there are two or more virtual vehicles available for a player to operate in a virtual scene, a vehicle selection area will be displayed. The player can determine the target virtual vehicle by selecting the vehicle identifier in the vehicle selection area. For illustration, please refer to Figure 2 , in the virtual scene 200, a virtual object 201 is displayed. There are two virtual vehicles that can be ridden in the virtual scene 200 for the virtual object 201: a first virtual vehicle 202 and a second virtual vehicle 203; when the driving control 204 is long-pressed, a vehicle selection box 205 is displayed. In the vehicle selection box 205, a first vehicle identifier 206, a second vehicle identifier 207, and a selection pointer 208 are displayed. The first vehicle identifier 206 corresponds to the first virtual vehicle 202, and the second vehicle identifier 207 corresponds to the second virtual vehicle 203; when the driving control 204 is long-pressed and swiped left and right at the same time, the vehicle identifiers in the vehicle selection box 205 can be moved; when the long-press operation ends and the selection pointer 208 points to the first vehicle identifier 206, a picture of the virtual object 201 driving the first virtual vehicle 202 is displayed.

[0053] As can be seen from the above introduction, in the method provided by the embodiments of the present application, the player can clarify the target virtual vehicle before operating the virtual vehicle, reducing the player's incorrect selection operations on the virtual vehicle, thereby reducing the resource consumption of the computer for processing incorrect operations, improving the human-computer interaction efficiency, and enhancing the user experience.

[0054] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of an implementation environment provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 3 shown, this implementation environment includes a terminal 310, a server 320, and a communication network 330. Among them, the terminal 310 and the server 320 are connected through the communication network 330.

[0055] In some alternative embodiments, a target application that supports virtual scenarios is installed and run in the terminal 310. The target application can be any one of a virtual reality application, a first-person shooting (FPS) game, a third-person shooting (TPS) game, a multiplayer online battle arena game (MOBA), a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG), etc., and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Optionally, the terminal 310 displays a virtual scenario through the target application. The virtual scenario includes a virtual vehicle and virtual objects, and the target application provides a virtual vehicle selection function.

[0056] Illustratively, a player account is logged in to the terminal 310. When there are two or more virtual vehicles available for the player account to operate in the virtual scenario displayed by the target application, a vehicle selection area will be displayed. Among them, the vehicle selection area includes vehicle identifiers corresponding to the virtual vehicles. Optionally, as Figure 3 shown, the terminal 310 receives a selection operation on the target vehicle identifier in the vehicle selection area. The terminal 310 generates a selection request according to the selection operation and uploads the selection request to the server 320. The server 320 determines the target virtual vehicle according to the selection request and feeds back the selection result corresponding to the target virtual vehicle to the terminal 310. The terminal 310 displays a picture of the target virtual vehicle carrying the virtual object according to the selection result.

[0057] Optionally, the terminal 310 is a smart phone, a tablet computer, a desktop computer, a portable laptop computer, a smart home appliance, a vehicle-mounted terminal, an aircraft, etc., but is not limited thereto.

[0058] In some alternative embodiments, the server 320 is used to provide background services for the target application installed in the terminal 310. It should be noted that the server 320 can be an independent physical server, can also be a server cluster or a distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, and can also be a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, CDN (Content Delivery Network), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms.

[0059] Among them, cloud technology refers to a hosting technology that unifies a series of resources such as hardware, software, and networks within a wide area network or a local area network to achieve data computing, storage, processing, and sharing. Cloud technology is the general term for network technology, information technology, integration technology, management platform technology, application technology, etc. based on the cloud computing business model, which can form a resource pool and be used on demand, being flexible and convenient. Cloud computing technology will become an important support. The background services of the technical network system require a large amount of computing and storage resources, such as video websites, picture websites, and more portal websites. With the high development and application of the Internet industry, in the future, each item may have its own identification mark and needs to be transmitted to the background system for logical processing. Data at different levels will be processed separately, and various industry data requires the support of a powerful system background, which can only be achieved through cloud computing. Optionally, the server 320 can also be implemented as a node in the blockchain system.

[0060] In some alternative embodiments, the communication network 330 can be a wired network or a wireless network, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0061] It should be noted that the information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.), data (including but not limited to data for analysis, stored data, displayed data, etc.), and signals involved in the present application are all authorized by the user or fully authorized by all parties, and the collection, use, and processing of relevant data need to comply with the relevant laws, regulations, and standards of relevant countries and regions. For example, the player operation data involved in the present application is obtained under full authorization.

[0062] The application scenario of the method for selecting a virtual vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application is described as follows:

[0063] In a shooting game, players need to use virtual vehicles to move and fight in the map. Virtual vehicles are relatively important props during the game. In the game, there are often two or more virtual vehicles that players can operate at the same location, and players need to select from two or more virtual vehicles. The virtual vehicle selection method provided in the embodiments of this application, schematically, when the player long-presses the driving control, a vehicle selection box will be displayed beside the driving control. The vehicle selection box displays vehicle identifiers corresponding to the virtual vehicles and selection pointers. While long-pressing the driving control, sliding left and right can select the vehicle identifiers. The virtual vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identifier pointed to by the selection pointer in the vehicle selection box is the virtual vehicle that the player is about to drive. Optionally, the vehicle identifier also displays information such as the color, wear condition, and fuel level of the corresponding virtual vehicle. Players can quickly select the virtual vehicle based on this information. Then, the virtual vehicle selection method provided in the embodiments of this application enables players to clarify their operation goals before getting on the virtual vehicle, and can accurately select the virtual vehicle through the display of important information, reducing the trial-and-error cost of virtual vehicle selection and enhancing the user experience of players in the game.

[0064] It should be noted that the above application scenarios are only schematic examples, and the embodiments of this application do not limit other application scenarios of the virtual vehicle selection method.

[0065] Combined with the above introduction and implementation environment, Figure 4 is a flowchart of a virtual vehicle selection method provided by an embodiment of this application.

Schematically, please refer to Figure 9 , if there is a black area 902 in the appearance of the vehicle identification mark 901, then the ratio of the black area 902 to the entire vehicle identification mark 901 is the fuel remaining ratio of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identification mark 901. Optionally, the black of the black area 902 is only for schematic representation. In practical applications, the black areas 902 with different fuel remaining ratios can be set to different colors. For example: if the fuel remaining ratio is 10% - 1%, then the black area 902 is set to red; if the fuel remaining ratio is 100% - 90%, then the black area 902 is set to green (it should be noted that if the color of the above black area 902 is the same as the appearance color of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the virtual mark, then adjust the color of the black area 902. For example: if the appearance color of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the virtual mark is red, then when the fuel remaining ratio is 9%, the color of the black area 902 is adjusted to dark red to distinguish it from the appearance color).

[0121] 2. The vehicle state includes the tire wear state.

[0122] The tire wear includes at least one of the wear of the virtual vehicle during driving, the wear after the virtual vehicle is attacked, etc. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0127] 4. The vehicle state includes the protection strength.

[0128] Optionally, the protection strength refers to the ability of the virtual vehicle to resist damage. The higher the protection strength, the stronger the ability of the virtual vehicle to resist damage.

Schematically, a protection strength frame / protection strength level number is displayed under the vehicle identifier, and the protection strength frame / protection strength level number is used to indicate the protection strength of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identifier; or, based on the protection strengths of at least two virtual vehicles, the protection part appearances of different vehicle identifiers are presented, where the protection part appearance of the vehicle identifier corresponds to the protection part appearance of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identifier. For example: a jeep with a hard top shown by the vehicle identifier has a high protection strength, and a jeep with a soft top shown by the vehicle identifier has a low protection strength; or, based on the protection strengths of at least two virtual vehicles, an indication identifier area corresponding to the protection strength is displayed on the vehicle identifier with a presentation feature different from that of the vehicle identifier.

[0130] Optionally, the above examples of the state indication elements corresponding to the fuel quantity state, tire wear state, body wear state, and protection strength are only schematic descriptions, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0131] Optionally, the state indication elements corresponding to the tire wear state and the body wear state are jointly displayed to represent the overall usage state of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identifier. Schematically, please refer to Figure 10 , which shows the display of the vehicle identifier corresponding to the virtual vehicle in different states, as Figure 10 shown:

[0134] Step 604, in response to receiving a selection operation on the target vehicle identifier, display a picture of the virtual object being carried by the target virtual vehicle.

[0135] Among them, the target virtual vehicle is the virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle identifier among at least two virtual vehicles.

[0136] In some alternative embodiments, the vehicle selection area includes a pointer display element.

[0137] Optionally, the pointer display element can be implemented in the form of a selection pointer.

[0138] Optionally, if the trigger operation is implemented as a long - press operation, the steps for displaying the picture of the virtual object being carried by the target virtual vehicle further include the following:

[0139] Step 1, in response to receiving a long - press operation on the interaction control, display the vehicle selection area and the pointer display element.

[0140] Schematically, the above long - press operation means holding the interaction control without releasing. Please refer to Figure 11 , in the virtual scene 1100, there is a driving control 1101 displayed. When the driving control 1101 is long - pressed, the vehicle selection area 1102 and the selection pointer 1103 will be displayed.

[0141] Step 2, receive a sliding operation that follows the long - press operation.

[0142] Schematically, the sliding operation that receives the connection long - press operation means receiving a sliding operation while holding the interactive control without releasing it.

[0143] Optionally, the sliding operation can be a sliding operation within the display area of the interactive control, or a sliding operation within other virtual scene display areas including areas outside the interactive display area.

[0144] Optionally, the above - mentioned sliding operation includes at least one of a left - right sliding operation, an up - down sliding operation, or a rotational sliding operation around a certain point, and this embodiment does not limit this.

[0145] In some alternative embodiments, the situation of the sliding operation that receives the connection long - press operation also includes at least one of the following situations:

[0146] 1. For the sliding operation that receives the connection long - press operation, synchronously move the pointer display element based on the sliding direction of the sliding operation.

[0147] Schematically, the moving object of the sliding operation is the pointer display element. When moving the pointer display element, the vehicle identifier currently indicated by the pointer display element is the currently selected vehicle identifier.

[0148] 2. For the sliding operation that receives the connection long - press operation, synchronously move the vehicle identifier based on the sliding direction of the sliding operation.

[0149] Schematically, the moving object of the sliding operation is the vehicle identifier. The pointer display element is fixed at a certain position in the vehicle selection area and always indicates a certain vehicle identifier. When moving the vehicle identifier, the vehicle identifier indicated by the pointer display element will also change.

[0150] The examples of the situation of the sliding operation that receives the connection long - press operation are only for schematic illustration, and this embodiment of the present application does not limit this.

[0151] In some alternative embodiments, after the sliding operation that receives the connection long - press operation, it further includes:

[0152] Based on the sliding direction of the sliding operation, synchronously adjust the viewing direction of the virtual object, where the viewing direction of the virtual object corresponds to the direction indicated by the pointer display element in the vehicle selection area. Schematically, if the pointer display element indicates the middle position of a certain vehicle identifier, then the viewing direction of the virtual object is also directly facing the middle position of the virtual vehicle corresponding to that vehicle identifier.

[0153] Schematically, please refer to Figure 12, in the virtual scene 1200, a virtual object 1201 is displayed, and a first virtual vehicle 1202 is displayed within the riding range of the virtual object 1201. Then, a driving control 1203 and a vehicle selection area 1204 are displayed in the virtual scene 1200. A first vehicle identifier 1205 corresponding to the first virtual vehicle 1202 and a selection pointer 1206 are displayed in the vehicle selection area 1204; when the driving control 1203 is long-pressed and swiped left or right, the vehicle identifier in the vehicle selection area 1204 can be moved, thereby changing the vehicle identifier indicated by the selection pointer 1206; when the driving control 1203 is long-pressed and swiped in the direction of the first arrow 1207, the viewing direction 1208 of the virtual object 1201 also slides in the direction of the second arrow 1209 accordingly; and the position where the selection pointer 1206 points on the first vehicle identifier 1205 corresponds to the position where the viewing direction 1208 of the virtual object 1201 points to the first virtual vehicle 1202.

[0154] Optionally, the above-mentioned synchronous adjustment of the viewing direction of the virtual object, that is, the synchronous adjustment of the viewing range of the virtual object (the viewing range can refer to the display screen of the current virtual scene).

[0155] Schematically, if the virtual scene is implemented as a three-dimensional virtual scene, and the riding range of the virtual object is implemented as a circular range centered on a certain location where the virtual object is fixed in the virtual scene and with a preset distance as the radius, then the situations of adjusting the viewing range of the virtual object by sliding operations include at least one of the following situations:

[0156] Situation 1: Within the riding range of the virtual object, there is a rideable virtual vehicle outside the viewing range of the virtual object, and the sliding operation enables the viewing range of the virtual object to be adjusted by 360 degrees. Please refer to Figure 13 , the riding range of the virtual object 1301 is a circle centered on the virtual object 1301 with a radius of 2m. There are 4 virtual vehicles within this riding range, and these 4 virtual vehicles respectively correspond to 4 vehicle identifiers; the sector 1302 is used to represent the viewing range of the virtual object. There are 3 virtual vehicles displayed within this viewing range, and there is also a virtual vehicle 1303 within the riding range of the virtual object 1301 outside this viewing range; optionally, the above 4 vehicle identifiers are displayed in the vehicle selection area, then sliding from the first displayed vehicle identifier to the last displayed vehicle identifier in sequence can enable the virtual object 1301 to rotate 360 degrees in the three-dimensional virtual scene, so that the viewing range of the virtual object 1301 can include the 4 virtual vehicles within the riding range during the sliding operation.

[0157] Case 2: Within the riding range of the virtual object, there is no virtual vehicle available for riding outside the field of view of the virtual object. The sliding operation can only slide the field of view of the virtual object to the outermost virtual vehicle, so that the outermost virtual vehicle is in a complete display state. Schematically, please refer to Figure 14 , the riding range of the virtual object 1401 is a circle centered on the virtual object 1401 with a radius of 2m. There are 3 virtual vehicles within this riding range, and these 3 virtual vehicles respectively correspond to 3 vehicle identifiers; optionally, the first sector 1402 is the initial field of view of the virtual object, and the vehicle selection area displays the above 3 vehicle identifiers. Then, by sliding from the first displayed vehicle identifier to the last displayed vehicle identifier in sequence, the field of view of the virtual object 1401 can be changed. The change range of the field of view is from the first sector 1402 to the second sector 1403. Within the field of view represented by the first sector 1402, the first virtual vehicle 1404 can be completely displayed in the current screen of the virtual scene; within the field of view represented by the second sector 1403, the second virtual vehicle 1405 can be completely displayed in the current screen of the virtual scene.

[0158] The above examples of adjusting the field of view of the virtual object through the sliding operation are only for schematic illustration, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited thereto.

[0159] In some alternative embodiments, the above vehicle selection area includes at least two display sub-areas corresponding to at least two vehicle identifiers. Among them, the i-th vehicle identifier is displayed in the i-th display sub-area, where i is a positive integer and i is less than or equal to the number of virtual vehicles existing within the riding range of the virtual object. After receiving the sliding operation that connects the long-press operation, it further includes:

[0160] Highlight the display sub-area corresponding to the vehicle identifier indicated by the pointer display element.

[0161] Schematically, by sliding the pointer display element or the vehicle identifier through the sliding operation, the pointer indicating element always indicates a certain vehicle identifier, and the area where the vehicle identifier is displayed within the vehicle selection area, that is, the display sub-area, is highlighted.

[0162] Among them, highlighting means that compared with the display sub-areas corresponding to other vehicle identifiers, the display sub-area corresponding to the vehicle identifier indicated by the pointer display element has a higher brightness, or the color of the display sub-area corresponding to the vehicle identifier indicated by the pointer display element is different from the colors of the display sub-areas corresponding to other vehicle identifiers.

[0163] Step 3: In response to the end of the sliding operation, determine the vehicle identifier indicated by the pointer display element at the end of the sliding operation as the target vehicle identifier, and display the picture of the virtual object being carried by the target virtual vehicle.

[0164] Optionally, the display of the virtual object carried by the target virtual vehicle includes at least one of: a display of the virtual object driving the target virtual vehicle and a display of the virtual object riding in the target virtual vehicle.

[0165] Schematically, please refer to Figure 15 , in the virtual scene 1500, there are displayed a virtual object 1501, a virtual vehicle 1502, a vehicle selection area 1503, and driving controls 1504. Among them, in the vehicle selection area 1503, there are displayed a selection pointer 1505 and a vehicle identifier 1506 corresponding to the virtual vehicle 1502. While long-pressing the driving controls 1504 and swiping left and right, after stopping the left and right swiping and ending the long-press operation, when the selection pointer 1505 points to the vehicle identifier 1506, a screen showing the driving of the virtual vehicle 1511 (the virtual vehicle 1511 and the virtual vehicle 1502 belong to the same virtual vehicle) is displayed in the virtual scene 1510.

[0166] In summary, when the virtual vehicle selection method provided by the embodiments of the present application needs to select a virtual vehicle in a virtual scene, a vehicle selection area is displayed. Through the selection operation on the vehicle identifier in the vehicle selection area, the target virtual vehicle is determined. Then, before the player operates the virtual vehicle, they can clearly identify their target virtual vehicle, improving the human-computer interaction efficiency, enhancing the user experience, and reducing the additional data processing pressure on the server caused by misoperations.

[0167] In the virtual vehicle selection method provided by the embodiments of the present application, vehicle identifiers are displayed in the vehicle selection area. Among them, the vehicle identifiers can be used to identify the vehicle state of the virtual vehicle. Through the status indication elements on the vehicle identifiers, the player can preview at least one of the fuel quantity state, tire wear state, body wear state, and protection intensity of the virtual vehicle before operating the virtual vehicle, so as to make an accurate selection of the virtual vehicle, reducing the trial-and-error cost in virtual vehicle selection and further enhancing the user experience of the player.

[0168] The virtual vehicle selection method provided by the embodiments of the present application realizes the selection of vehicle identifiers through the long-press and swipe operations on the interaction controls, making the selection operation more fluent and further improving the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0169] Figure 16 is a flowchart of the virtual vehicle selection method provided by another exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 16 shown, the method includes:

[0170] Step 1601, display the virtual object and the virtual vehicle in the virtual scene.

[0171] Among them, the virtual vehicle is used to provide the virtual object with the ability to move and bear.

[0172] Step 1602, in response to the existence of at least two virtual vehicles within the riding range of the virtual object, display a vehicle selection area and interaction controls.

[0173] Optionally, all vehicle identifiers are displayed in a planar distribution in the display area of the vehicle selection area, where all vehicle identifiers refer to the vehicle identifiers corresponding to all virtual vehicles within the riding range of the virtual object, and the arrangement structure of the vehicle identifiers corresponds to the arrangement structure of at least two virtual vehicles around the virtual object in the virtual scene.

[0174] That is, through the arrangement structure of the vehicle identifiers in the vehicle selection area, players can preview the positions of the virtual vehicles in the virtual scene.

[0175] Step 1603, receive a selection operation on the target vehicle identifier in the vehicle selection area.

[0176] Schematically, players can select the vehicle identifier according to the arrangement structure of the vehicle identifiers in the vehicle selection area, so as to determine the target vehicle identifier.

[0177] Optionally, the implementation method of the selection operation includes a click operation on the target vehicle identifier.

[0178] Schematically, please refer to Figure 17 , in the vehicle selection area 1701 in the virtual scene 1700, the first vehicle identifier 1703 corresponding to the first virtual vehicle 1702, the second vehicle identifier 1705 corresponding to the second virtual vehicle 1704, and the third vehicle identifier 1707 corresponding to the third virtual vehicle 1706 are displayed. Click on the first vehicle identifier 1703, then the first vehicle identifier 1703 is the target vehicle identifier.

[0179] Step 1604, in response to receiving a trigger operation on the interaction control, based on the selection operation on the target vehicle identifier, display a picture of the virtual object being carried by the target virtual vehicle.

[0180] Among them, the target virtual vehicle is the virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle identifier among at least two virtual vehicles.

[0181] Schematically, after receiving a click operation on the target vehicle identifier, receive a trigger operation on the interaction control, and then display a picture of the virtual object being carried by the target virtual vehicle. Among them, the implementation method of the trigger operation of the interaction control has been described in step 603 and will not be elaborated here.

[0182] Schematically, the interactive control includes at least one of a driving control and a riding control, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0183] Schematically, after clicking on the first vehicle identifier 1703 to determine it as the target vehicle identifier and then clicking on the driving control 1708, a screen showing driving the first virtual vehicle 1711 (the virtual vehicle 1711 and the virtual vehicle 1702 belong to the same virtual vehicle, that is, the target virtual vehicle) in the virtual scene 1710 is displayed.

[0184] Optionally, if the interactive control is implemented as a riding control and there are at least two rideable seats in the target virtual vehicle, the screen showing carrying the virtual object by the target virtual vehicle further includes:

[0185] In response to receiving a long press operation on the interactive control, a seat selection area is displayed, where the seat selection area includes at least two seat identifiers corresponding to at least two rideable seats of the target virtual vehicle, and the at least two seat identifiers can be used to represent the positions of the at least two rideable seats in the target virtual vehicle; a sliding operation following the long press operation is received; in response to the end of the sliding operation, the seat identifier indicated by the sliding operation at the end of the sliding operation is determined as the target seat identifier, and a screen showing the virtual object riding in the rideable seat corresponding to the target seat identifier on the target virtual vehicle is displayed.

[0186] In summary, when the method for selecting a virtual vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application needs to select a virtual vehicle in a virtual scene, a vehicle selection area is displayed, and the target virtual vehicle is determined through a selection operation on the vehicle identifier in the vehicle selection area. Then, before the player operates on the virtual vehicle, they can clearly identify their target virtual vehicle, improving the human-computer interaction efficiency, enhancing the user experience, and reducing the additional data processing pressure on the server caused by misoperations.

[0187] For the method for selecting a virtual vehicle provided by the embodiments of the present application, the arrangement structure of the vehicle identifiers in the vehicle selection area corresponds to the arrangement structure of the virtual vehicles around the virtual object in the virtual scene. Players can intuitively understand the positions of the virtual vehicles in the virtual scene through the arrangement structure of the vehicle identifiers, thereby selecting the required virtual vehicle, reducing the trial-and-error cost in virtual vehicle selection, and further enhancing the user experience of the players.

[0188] Figure 18 It is a functional logic diagram of the method for selecting a virtual vehicle provided by an exemplary embodiment of the present application. As Figure 18 shown, taking the virtual vehicle being implemented as a virtual vehicle as an example for illustration, the method includes:

[0189] Step 1801, start.

[0190] That is, the process of the player selecting a virtual vehicle in the virtual scene begins.

[0191] Step 1802, there is a virtual vehicle in the virtual scene.

[0192] Schematically, the virtual scene also includes virtual objects. The player can control the virtual objects to move in the virtual scene. When the virtual objects move in the virtual scene, the virtual scene images displayed on the player's terminal will change continuously.

[0193] There is a virtual vehicle in the virtual scene, that is, a virtual vehicle is displayed in the virtual scene image displayed on the current player's terminal.

[0194] Step 1803, determine whether the virtual vehicle is within 2m of the virtual object.

[0195] Optionally, there may be one virtual vehicle in the above virtual scene, or there may be two or more virtual vehicles.

[0196] Determine whether the virtual vehicle is within 2m of the virtual object, that is, determine whether all the virtual vehicles existing in the above virtual scene are within 2m of the virtual object.

[0197] Step 1804, if the virtual vehicle is not within 2m of the virtual object, do not display the drive / ride button.

[0198] Schematically, the above 2m range can refer to the range of a circle with a radius of 2m centered on the virtual object; it can also refer to the range of a sector with a radius of 2m and a central angle equal to the field of view angle of the virtual object centered on the virtual object.

[0199] Optionally, there is a scale on the map in the virtual scene. The above 2m refers to the size obtained by reducing / enlarging the actual size according to the scale, not the size of the actual image.

[0200] Step 1805, if the virtual vehicle is within 2m of the virtual object, display the drive / ride button.

[0201] Schematically, only the drive button can be displayed. Optionally, only the drive button is displayed when the virtual vehicle cannot be ridden. Among them, the situations where it cannot be ridden include: the virtual vehicle only has a driving function, or the available riding positions of the virtual vehicle are full; only the ride button can be displayed. Optionally, only the ride button is displayed when the virtual vehicle cannot be driven. Among them, the situations where it cannot be driven include: the available driving positions of the virtual vehicle are full; or both the drive and ride buttons can be displayed.

[0202] Step 1806, determine whether a click operation or a long-press operation is received.

[0203] That is, it is determined whether the trigger operation received on the driving / riding button is a click operation or a long press operation.

[0204] Optionally, the trigger operation corresponds to a trigger duration, and whether the trigger duration reaches a preset duration is determined to determine whether the operation received on the driving / riding button is a click operation or a long press operation. Indicatively, if the trigger duration is within 1 second (including 1 second), it is determined to be a click operation; if the trigger duration exceeds 1 second, it is determined to be a long press operation.

[0205] Step 1807, if a click operation is received, get on the bus directly.

[0206] Illustratively, if the trigger operation received on the drive / ride button is a click operation, optionally, the virtual vehicle facing the perspective of the virtual object at the moment the click operation ends is used as the target virtual vehicle, and a picture of the virtual object riding / driving the target virtual vehicle is displayed.

[0207] Step 1808: If a long press operation is received, determine whether the number of virtual vehicles is greater than or equal to 2.

[0208] That is, if the trigger operation received on the driving / riding button is a long press operation, it is then determined whether the number of virtual vehicles existing within a 2m range of the virtual object is greater than or equal to 2.

[0209] Step 1809, if the number of virtual vehicles is less than 2, release the vehicle and get on.

[0210] That is, if the number of virtual vehicles within a 2m range of the virtual object is less than 2, the virtual vehicle is used as the target virtual vehicle, and at the end of the long press operation, a screen of the virtual object riding / driving the target virtual vehicle is displayed.

[0211] Step 1810, if the number of virtual vehicles is greater than or equal to 2, trigger the vehicle selection box.

[0212] Illustratively, if the number of virtual vehicles existing within a 2m range of the virtual object is greater than or equal to 2, a vehicle selection box is displayed in the virtual scene, wherein the vehicle selection box displays vehicle identifications corresponding one to one with the virtual vehicles.

[0213] Optionally, the display of the vehicle identification is consistent with the appearance and color of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identification. Optionally, the vehicle identification also includes the remaining fuel information and vehicle wear status of the virtual vehicle corresponding to the vehicle identification.

[0214] Step 1811, swipe left or right to select a virtual vehicle.

[0215] Optionally, the vehicle selection box further includes a selection pointer. Schematically, the selection pointer always indicates a certain vehicle identification.

[0216] Optionally, while performing a long-press operation, change the vehicle identifier indicated by the selection pointer by performing a left or right swipe operation, so as to select the vehicle identifier in the vehicle selection box, determine the target vehicle identifier, and use the virtual vehicle corresponding to the target vehicle identifier as the target virtual vehicle.

[0217] Optionally, the above selection pointer is fixed at a certain position in the vehicle selection box, and the left or right swipe operation changes the vehicle identifier in the vehicle selection box.

[0218] Optionally, while performing the above left or right swipe operation, the player's perspective also rotates left or right accordingly.

[0219] Step 1812, release the hand and get in the vehicle.

[0220] That is, at the end moment of the long-press operation, display the picture of the virtual object riding / driving the target virtual vehicle in step 1811.

[0221] Step 1813, end.

[0222] That is, the selection process of the virtual vehicle by the player in the virtual scene ends.
