[0098] 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.

[0099] It should be noted that the terms "first", "second", etc. in the present application are used to distinguish similar objects, and do not necessarily need to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances so that the embodiments of the present application described herein can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0100] First, define the abbreviations and key terms involved in the embodiments of the present application.

[0101] Virtual environment: It refers to the environment provided (or displayed) when an application runs on a terminal device. This virtual environment is an environment created for virtual objects to move. The virtual environment can be a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5D virtual environment, or a three-dimensional virtual environment, etc. The virtual environment can be a simulation environment of the real world, a semi-simulation environment of the real world, or a pure fictional environment. Exemplarily, the virtual environment involved in the embodiments of the present application is a three-dimensional virtual environment.

[0102] Virtual object: It refers to an activatable object in the virtual environment. This activatable object can be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an anime character, etc. The player can control the virtual object by means of a peripheral component or by clicking on the touch display screen. Each virtual object has its own shape and volume in the virtual environment and occupies a part of the space in the virtual environment. Exemplarily, when the virtual environment is a three-dimensional virtual environment, the virtual object is a three-dimensional solid model created based on the animation skeleton technology.

[0103] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of the implementation environment of a game interaction method provided by an embodiment of the present application. As Figure 1 shown, this implementation environment includes: a terminal device 101 and a server 102.

[0104] Among them, a game client capable of providing a virtual environment is installed and running in the terminal device 101, and the terminal device 101 is used to execute the game interaction method provided by the embodiments of the present application.

[0105] Exemplarily, the game client capable of providing a virtual environment can be a third-person shooting (TPS) game, a first-person shooting (FPS) game, a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) game, a multiplayer shooting survival game, a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMO), an action role-playing game (ARPG), a virtual reality (VR) client, an augmented reality (AR) client, a three-dimensional map program, a map simulation program, a social client, an interactive entertainment client, etc.

[0106] The server 102 is used to provide background services for the game client installed in the terminal device 101 that can provide a virtual environment. In a possible implementation, the server 102 undertakes the main computing work, and the terminal device 101 undertakes the secondary computing work. Or, the server 102 undertakes the secondary computing work, and the terminal device 101 undertakes the main computing work. Or, a distributed computing architecture is adopted between the terminal device 101 and the server 102 for collaborative computing.

[0107] Optionally, the terminal device 101 can be any electronic device product that can perform human-computer interaction with the user through one or more ways such as a keyboard, a touchpad, a remote control, voice interaction, or a handwriting device. For example, the terminal device 101 can be a smartphone, a tablet computer, a laptop computer, a desktop computer, a smart speaker, a smart watch, a PC (Personal Computer), a mobile phone, a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a wearable device, a PPC (Pocket PC), a smart car machine, a smart TV, etc.

[0108] The terminal device 101 can generally refer to one of multiple terminal devices. In this embodiment, only the terminal device 101 is used as an example for illustration. Those skilled in the art can understand that the number of the above-mentioned terminal devices 101 can be more or less. For example, the above-mentioned terminal device 101 can be only one, or the above-mentioned terminal devices 101 can be dozens or hundreds, or a larger number. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the number and device type of the terminal device 101.

[0109] The server 102 is a single server, or a server cluster composed of multiple servers, or any one of a cloud computing platform and a virtualization center. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The server 102 is directly or indirectly communicatively connected to the terminal device 101 through a wired or wireless communication method. The server 102 has a data receiving function, a data processing function, and a data sending function. Of course, the server 102 can also have other functions. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0110] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above-mentioned terminal device 101 and server 102 are only for illustrative purposes. Other existing or future possible terminal devices or servers, if applicable to the present application, should also be included in the protection scope of the present application and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.

[0111] The embodiments of the present application provide a game interaction method, which can be applied to the above Figure 1 shown implementation environment. Taking the Figure 2 flowchart of a game interaction method provided by the embodiments of the present application shown as an example, this method can be implemented by the interaction between the terminal device 101 and the server 102 in Figure 1 . As Figure 2 shown, this method includes the following content.

[0112] In step 201, the terminal device displays a details page of a third virtual object, and object information of the third virtual object is displayed on the details page.

[0113] Among them, the third virtual object is a non-player-controlled virtual object included in the target game, that is, the third virtual object is an NPC (Non-Player Character) in the target game. An NPC is a type of character in a game, referring to a game character that is not controlled by a real player. An NPC can provide some game information for the user or trigger a game plot. An NPC can also have a dialogue function and plays a key role in the game. Optionally, the object information of the third virtual object includes but is not limited to the object name and object image of the third object.

[0114] In an exemplary embodiment of the present application, a target game capable of providing a virtual environment is installed and running in a terminal device. The target game can be any type of game, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The target game can refer to a game that needs to be independently downloaded and installed, or an embedded program that depends on a host program to run. The embedded program includes, but is not limited to, a small program. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the type of the target game. Based on the target game being an embedded program, an embedded program is an application program developed based on a programming language and dependent on a host program to run. The embedded program does not need to be downloaded and installed, and only needs to be dynamically loaded in the host program to run. The user can find the required embedded program by searching, scanning, etc., and can run it by clicking it. After closing it after use, it will not occupy the memory of the terminal device, which is very convenient. The target game can be a first-person perspective game or a third-person perspective game, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The target game can be a game client based on frame synchronization. That is to say, the game interaction method provided by the embodiments of the present application can be applied to a game client based on frame synchronization.

[0115] In a possible implementation manner, relevant information of the target game is displayed on the display interface of the terminal device. The relevant information of the target game can be the game icon of the target game, the game name of the target game, or other information of the target game. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the relevant information of the target game.

[0116] When the user wants to run the target game, the user selects the relevant information of the target game. The terminal device receives the selection operation for the relevant information of the target game, runs the target game, and displays the home page of the target game. At least one non-player-controlled virtual object included in the target game is displayed on the home page of the target game. In response to a trigger operation for a third virtual object, a detail page of the third virtual object is displayed, and object information of the third virtual object is displayed on the detail page. The third virtual object is any one of the at least one non-player-controlled virtual objects included in the target game.

[0117] Optionally, the user's selection of the relevant information of the target game can be that the user clicks on the relevant information of the target game, or the relevant information of the target game can be selected in other ways. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the selection method of the relevant information of the target game.

[0118] As Figure 3 is a schematic diagram showing the display of a detail page of a third virtual object provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 3The object information of the third virtual object displayed on the details page of the third virtual object shown includes: the object name of the third virtual object is Linghu, the object image of the third virtual object is 301, the birthday of the third virtual object is February 13th, the message 302 of the third virtual object, and the recent dynamics 303 of the third virtual object.

[0119] It should be noted that the details page of the third virtual object can also be displayed in other ways. For example, the details page of the third virtual object can be displayed through a group built into the target game, or the details page of the third virtual object can be displayed through the dynamic circle of the target game. The embodiments of the present application do not limit the display method of the details page of the third virtual object.

[0120] In step 202, in response to the trigger operation of the association function, the terminal device sends an association request to the server. The association request includes the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the third virtual object.

[0121] In a possible implementation manner, a friend addition control is displayed on the details page of the third virtual object. The friend addition control is used to associate with the third virtual object. Exemplarily, the friend addition control is used to add the third virtual object as a friend. As shown in Figure 3 304 in is the friend addition control. In response to the trigger operation on the friend addition control, the association function is triggered. Among them, the trigger operation on the friend addition control refers to a click operation on the friend addition control, or the friend addition control is triggered by other means. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0122] In response to the trigger operation of the association function, an association request is generated. The association request includes the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the third virtual object. The association request is used to associate the third virtual object with the first virtual object. Exemplarily, the association request is used to request to add the third virtual object as a friend object of the first virtual object. The first virtual object is a virtual object controlled by the user of the terminal device in the target game. The object identifier of the virtual object can be the object name of the virtual object, the object code of the virtual object, or other information that can uniquely represent the virtual object. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0123] After generating the association request, the association request is sent to the server so that the server associates the third virtual object with the first virtual object. Since the terminal device and the server are communicatively connected through a wired network or a wireless network, the terminal device can send the association request to the server.

[0124] It should be noted that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the timing for the terminal device to send an association request to the server. Optionally, after generating the association request, the terminal device may immediately send the association request to the server, or may wait for a period of time before sending the association request to the server. The duration of this period of time is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this either. Exemplarily, the duration of this period of time is 3 minutes.

[0125] In step 203, the server receives the association request sent by the terminal device and associates the third virtual object with the first virtual object according to the association request.

[0126] In a possible implementation manner, the server receives the association request sent by the terminal device, parses the association request to obtain the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the second virtual object. According to the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the third virtual object, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is determined. Based on the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object being greater than the second intimacy threshold, the third virtual object is associated with the first virtual object. Optionally, the third virtual object is added to the friend list of the first virtual object, that is, the third virtual object is a friend object of the first virtual object.

[0127] Among them, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is used to indicate the interaction heat between the first virtual object and the third virtual object. The higher the interaction heat between the first virtual object and the third virtual object, the higher the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object. Conversely, the lower the interaction heat between the first virtual object and the third virtual object, the lower the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object. The second intimacy threshold is set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. Exemplarily, the second intimacy threshold is 5.

[0128] The server stores an intimacy table, and the intimacy table includes the intimacy between any two virtual objects. Therefore, according to the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the third virtual object, by querying the intimacy table, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object can be determined.

[0129] Based on the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object being greater than the second intimacy threshold, the server may immediately associate the third virtual object with the first virtual object, or may wait for a period of time before associating the third virtual object with the first virtual object. The embodiment of the present application does not limit the timing for the server to associate the third virtual object with the first virtual object.

[0130] In a possible implementation, after the server associates the third virtual object with the first virtual object, the server may further send a second prompt message to the terminal device, where the second prompt message is used to indicate that the first virtual object has been associated with the third virtual object.

[0131] The terminal device receives the second prompt message sent by the server and displays the second prompt message. Optionally, the second prompt message is superimposed and displayed on the details page of the third virtual object. For example, Figure 4 is a schematic diagram showing the display of a second prompt message provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 4 the shown schematic diagram, the second prompt message 401 is superimposed and displayed on the details page of the third virtual object. The content of the second prompt message is: Linghu has agreed to your friend request.

[0132] By determining the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object to determine whether to associate the third virtual object with the first virtual object, the association process of the virtual objects is consistent with the process of associating with other players. Moreover, when a certain user is associated with insufficient mutual trust, the user will not pass either, which is more in line with the normal friendship logic and also blurs the difference between non-player-controlled virtual objects and players, increasing the immersion of the game.

[0133] In a possible implementation, if the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is not greater than the second intimacy threshold, the server does not need to associate the third virtual object with the first virtual object.

[0134] Based on the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object not being greater than the second intimacy threshold, the server may further send a third prompt message to the terminal device, where the third prompt message is used to indicate that the first virtual object cannot be associated with the third virtual object, that is, the third prompt message is used to indicate that the third virtual object refuses to be associated with the first virtual object.

[0135] After the terminal device receives the third prompt message sent by the server, it displays the third prompt message. Optionally, the third prompt message is superimposed and displayed on the details page of the third virtual object. For example, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing the display of a third prompt message provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 5 the shown schematic diagram, the third prompt message 501 is superimposed and displayed on the details page of the third virtual object. The content of the third prompt message is: Linghu has rejected your friend request.

[0136] Optionally, the third prompt message may further include the reason why the third virtual object refuses to be associated with the first virtual object. For example, Figure 5 in the shown schematic diagram, the reason why the third virtual object refuses to be associated with the first virtual object is: We're not familiar enough yet.

[0137] It should be noted that the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object can be improved by means such as the first virtual object and the third virtual object fighting together, the first virtual object and the third virtual object having a conversation, the first virtual object giving a like to the dynamic circle of the third virtual object, and the first virtual object presenting a virtual gift to the third virtual object.

[0138] In a possible implementation, after the server associates the third virtual object with the first virtual object, the object information of the third virtual object is displayed in the friend list of the first virtual object. The object information of the third virtual object includes the object name of the third virtual object, the object image of the third virtual object, and the intimacy between the third virtual object and the first virtual object. As Figure 6 is a schematic diagram showing the display of the friend list of a first virtual object provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 6 the shown friend list of the first virtual object, the object information 601 of the third virtual object is displayed. Among them, it includes the object name "Spirit Fox" of the third virtual object, the object image 602 of the third virtual object, and the intimacy "9" between the third virtual object and the first virtual object. After the first virtual object is associated with the third virtual object, that is, after the first virtual object adds the third virtual object as a friend object, the user can also group the third virtual object and chat with the third virtual object.

[0139] In step 204, in response to a trigger operation on the object information of the third virtual object, the terminal device displays the object page of the third virtual object, and an intimacy improvement control is displayed on the object page, and the intimacy improvement control is used to improve the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object.

[0140] In a possible implementation, after the server associates the third virtual object with the first virtual object in the above step 203, the object information of the third virtual object will be displayed in the friend list of the first virtual object displayed on the terminal device. When the user controlling the first virtual object wants to have a conversation with the third virtual object, the user selects the object information of the third virtual object, the terminal device receives the trigger operation on the object information of the third virtual object, and displays the object page of the third virtual object, and an intimacy improvement control is displayed on the object page, and the intimacy improvement control is used to improve the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object. Optionally, the object information of the third virtual object can also be displayed on the object page.

[0141] Among them, the user selecting the object information of the third virtual object may mean that the user clicks on the object information of the third virtual object. The user can also select the object information of the third virtual object in other ways, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0142] As Figure 7It is a schematic diagram showing the display of an object page provided by an embodiment of the present application. Figure 7 In the friend list shown in (1) of [reference], the object information 701 of the third virtual object is displayed. In response to a trigger operation on the object information of the third virtual object, the display shows Figure 7 (2) in [reference], Figure 7 In (2) of [reference], an object page 702 of the third virtual object is displayed, and an intimacy improvement control 703 is displayed on the object page.

[0143] In step 205, in response to a trigger operation on the intimacy improvement control, the terminal device displays a conversation page between the first virtual object and the third virtual object, and the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object is displayed on the conversation page.

[0144] Among them, the trigger operation on the intimacy improvement control may be a click operation on the intimacy improvement control. In response to the trigger operation on the intimacy improvement control, an information acquisition request is sent to the server, and the object identifier of the third virtual object is included in the information acquisition request. The server receives the information acquisition request, parses the information acquisition request, and obtains the object identifier of the third virtual object. The server verifies the third virtual object according to the object identifier of the third virtual object. Based on the fact that the verification of the third virtual object passes, the server acquires the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object. The server sends the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object to the terminal device. The terminal device receives the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object sent by the server, and then displays a conversation page between the first virtual object and the third virtual object, and the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object is displayed on the conversation page.

[0145] Such as Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram showing the display of a conversation page provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 8 The conversation information 801 corresponding to the third virtual object is displayed on the shown conversation page.

[0146] Among them, the process of the server verifying the third virtual object according to the object identifier of the third virtual object includes: if it is determined according to the object identifier of the third virtual object that the third virtual object is a non-player controlled virtual object, then the verification of the third virtual object passes. If it is determined according to the object identifier of the third virtual object that the third virtual object is not a non-player controlled virtual object, then the verification of the third virtual object fails.

[0147] The server stores the conversation information corresponding to each non-player controlled virtual object and the corresponding relationship between the object identifier and the conversation information of each non-player controlled virtual object. The server acquires the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object according to the object identifier of the third virtual object.

[0148] Optionally, based on the failure of the verification of the third virtual object, it is indicated that the third virtual object is not a non-player-controlled virtual object. Therefore, the server sends a conversation request to the terminal device corresponding to the third virtual object, so that the terminal device corresponding to the third virtual object obtains the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object, and then the terminal device corresponding to the third virtual object sends the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object to the server.

[0149] In step 206, the terminal device obtains the reply content for the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object.

[0150] In a possible implementation, an input box is also displayed on the conversation page. In response to a trigger operation on the input box, a virtual keyboard is displayed. Based on the input operation in the virtual keyboard, the input content is obtained. A send control is also displayed on the conversation page. In response to a trigger operation on the send control, the input content is used as the reply content for the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object. That is, the terminal device obtains the reply content for the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object. As Figure 8 802 in is the input box, and 803 is the send control.

[0151] In a possible implementation, at least one candidate content is displayed on the conversation page. In response to a trigger operation on any one of the candidate contents, the triggered candidate content is used as the reply content for the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object. As Figure 9 is another display schematic diagram of the conversation page provided by the embodiments of the present application. Figure 9 In the shown conversation page, the conversation information 901 corresponding to the third virtual object is displayed, and three candidate contents, namely candidate content 902, candidate content 903, and candidate content 904, are also displayed.

[0152] It should be noted that any of the above methods can be selected to obtain the reply content for the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0153] In step 207, the terminal device sends the reply content to the server.

[0154] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the timing of the object server sending the reply content. Optionally, after the terminal device obtains the reply content for the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object, the reply content is displayed on the conversation page, and the display position of the reply content is below the display position of the conversation information corresponding to the third virtual object.

[0155] In step 208, the server receives the reply content sent by the terminal device and increases the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object according to the reply content.

[0156] In a possible implementation, the server receives the reply content sent by the terminal device, determines the conversation content that matches the conversation information; determines the matching degree between the conversation content and the reply content; based on the matching degree between the conversation content and the reply content being greater than the matching degree threshold, increases the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object.

[0157] Among them, the matching degree threshold 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 matching degree threshold is 80.

[0158] The matching degree between the conversation content and the reply content being greater than the matching degree threshold means that the reply content meets the reply requirements. The process of increasing the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object based on the matching degree between the conversation content and the reply content being greater than the matching degree threshold includes: based on the matching degree between the conversation content and the reply content being greater than the matching degree threshold, increasing the intimacy target value of the first virtual object and the third virtual object to obtain the intimacy of the first virtual object and the third virtual object after improvement.

[0159] Among them, the target value 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 target value is 0.2.

[0160] For example, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is 6, and the matching degree between the conversation content and the reply content is greater than the matching degree threshold. Therefore, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is increased to 6.2. That is, the intimacy of the first virtual object and the third virtual object after improvement is 6.2.

[0161] In a possible implementation, after the server increases the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object, the server can also send a fourth prompt message to the terminal device. The fourth prompt message is used to indicate that the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object has been increased, and the fourth prompt message includes the intimacy of the first virtual object and the third virtual object after improvement. After the terminal device receives the fourth prompt message sent by the server, it displays the fourth prompt message, so that the user can know the intimacy of the first virtual object and the third virtual object after improvement.

[0162] Optionally, if the matching degree between the conversation content and the reply content is not greater than the matching degree threshold, the server does not need to adjust the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object, and the server does not need to send a message to the terminal device to inform the user of the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object.

[0163] It should be noted that if the first virtual object and the third virtual object have multiple rounds of conversations on the conversation page, the reply content of the conversation information for each round can be sent to the server. The server determines the target matching degree based on the matching degree between the reply content of the conversation information for each round and the conversation content of the conversation information for each round. If the target matching degree is greater than the matching degree threshold, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is increased.

[0164] Among them, the process of determining the target matching degree based on the matching degree between the reply content of the conversation information for each round and the conversation content of the conversation information for each round includes, but is not limited to: taking the average value of the matching degrees between the reply content of the conversation information for each round and the conversation content of the conversation information for each round as the target matching degree.

[0165] By adjusting the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object through the way of conversation between the first virtual object and the third virtual object, the user controlling the first virtual object needs to have a certain understanding of the personality characteristics of the third virtual object, which will make the third virtual object more three-dimensional and lifelike, and can enhance the user's sense of immersion. At the same time, it also makes the friend-making process in the game more real and more in line with the real friend-making process.

[0166] In step 209, the terminal device displays a first game screen of the target game. The first game screen includes a first virtual object located in a virtual environment and a second virtual object that battles with the first virtual object.

[0167] The embodiments of the present application do not limit the manner in which the terminal device displays the first game screen of the target game. In a possible implementation manner, a start control is further displayed on the home page of the target game. The start control is used to start a game. In response to a trigger operation on the start control, the first game screen of the target game is displayed. The first game screen includes a first virtual object located in a virtual environment and a second virtual object that battles with the first virtual object.

[0168] Such as Figure 10 is a schematic diagram of the display of a first game screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 10 the shown first game screen includes a first virtual object 1001 and a second virtual object 1002 that battles with the first virtual object.

[0169] In step 210, in response to a trigger operation of the summoning function, the terminal device displays object information of at least one virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game.

[0170] Among them, the virtual object can be a non-player-controlled virtual object included in the target game or a player-controlled virtual object included in the target game. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The object information of any virtual object includes, but is not limited to, the object name of any virtual object, the object image of any virtual object, and the intimacy between any virtual object and the first virtual object. The virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game can be a friend object of the first virtual object in the target game or a virtual object belonging to the same game team as the first virtual object.

[0171] In a possible implementation, a summoning control is also displayed in the first game screen. In response to a triggering operation on the summoning control, it is determined that the summoning function is triggered. As Figure 10 In 1003 is the summoning control. Among them, the triggering operation on the summoning control can be a click operation on the summoning control or other operations on the summoning control. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this.

[0172] Optionally, based on the virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game being a friend object of the first virtual object in the target game, the process of displaying the object information of at least one virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game in response to the triggering operation of the summoning function includes: in response to the triggering operation of the summoning function, displaying the friend list of the first virtual object, and the object information of at least one virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game is displayed in the friend list. Optionally, the friend list of the first virtual object is superimposed and displayed above the first game screen.

[0173] As Figure 11 is a schematic diagram showing the display of the friend list of a first virtual object provided by the embodiments of the present application. Figure 11 As shown, the friend list 1101 of the first virtual object is superimposed and displayed above the first game screen. The object information of at least one virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game is displayed in the friend list 1101 of the first virtual object. Among them, the object information of the first virtual object displayed in the friend list includes: the object name is A Feng, the object image is 1102, and the intimacy between the first virtual object and the first virtual object is 6. The object information of other virtual objects associated with the first virtual object in the target game can be seen in Figure 11 As shown, and will not be elaborated here one by one.

[0174] In a possible implementation, a sliding control is also displayed in the friend list of the first virtual object, and the sliding control is used to update the object information of the virtual objects displayed in the friend list of the first virtual object. As Figure 11 In 1103 is the sliding control.

[0175] In step 211, in response to a triggering operation on the object information of the third virtual object among at least one virtual object, the terminal device sends a summoning request to the server.

[0176] Wherein, the summoning request includes the object identifier of the first virtual object, the object identifier of the third virtual object, and the environment identifier of the virtual environment. The summoning request is used to request to summon the third virtual object to assist the first virtual object in the virtual environment.

[0177] Responding to the triggering operation on the object information of the third virtual object among at least one virtual object indicates that the user wants to summon the third virtual object. Therefore, a summoning request is generated and then sent to the server. Exemplarily, the triggering operation on the object information of the third virtual object may be a click operation on the object information of the third virtual object.

[0178] In step 212, the server receives the summoning request sent by the terminal device and sends a first game animation to the terminal device according to the summoning request.

[0179] In a possible implementation manner, the server receives the summoning request sent by the terminal device, parses the summoning request to obtain the object identifier of the first virtual object, the object identifier of the third virtual object, and the environment identifier of the virtual environment. According to the environment identifier of the virtual environment, it is determined whether the virtual environment allows assistance. When the virtual environment allows assistance, according to the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the third virtual object, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is determined. Based on the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object being greater than the first intimacy threshold, a first game animation is sent to the terminal device, and the first game animation is the display animation of the third virtual object. Exemplarily, the first game animation is an animation of the third virtual object descending from the sky.

[0180] Wherein, the first intimacy threshold 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 first intimacy threshold is 8. Optionally, the first intimacy threshold is greater than the second intimacy threshold.

[0181] Some virtual environments allow assistance, and some virtual environments do not allow assistance. The environment identifiers of the virtual environments that allow assistance are stored in the server. Therefore, the server determines whether the virtual environment allows assistance according to the environment identifier of the virtual environment.

[0182] In a possible implementation, when it is determined that assistance is allowed in the virtual environment based on the environment identifier of the virtual environment, and it is determined that the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is greater than the first intimacy threshold according to the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the third virtual object, the server may further send a first prompt message to the terminal device. The first prompt message is used to indicate that the third virtual object is allowed to assist the first virtual object in the virtual environment.

[0183] The terminal device receives the first prompt message sent by the server and displays the first prompt message. Optionally, the terminal device displays the first prompt message above the first game screen.

[0184] In a possible implementation, if assistance is not allowed in the virtual environment, or assistance is allowed in the virtual environment, but the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is not greater than the first intimacy threshold, the server sends a rejection message to the terminal device. The rejection message is used to indicate that the third virtual object cannot assist the first virtual object in the virtual environment. Exemplarily, the rejection message is "Sorry, I'm a bit busy now. I'll come to help another day." After receiving the rejection message, the terminal device may also display the rejection message.

[0185] In step 213, the terminal device receives the first game animation sent by the server and displays a second game screen according to the first game animation.

[0186] Optionally, after receiving the first game animation, the terminal device plays the first game animation. After the first game animation ends, it displays the second game screen. The second game screen includes the first virtual object, the third virtual object, and the second virtual object. The third virtual object is used to assist the first virtual object in fighting against the second virtual object.

[0187] As Figure 12 is a schematic diagram showing the display of a second game screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 12 the shown second game screen, there are a first virtual object 1201, a second virtual object 1202, and a third virtual object 1203.

[0188] In a possible implementation, if the display duration of the third virtual object is the target duration, the display of the third virtual object is cancelled. Or, if the health value of the third virtual object is the target health value, the display of the third virtual object is cancelled. Wherein, both the target duration and the target health value are set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment. The embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the target duration is 2 minutes and the target health value is 0.

[0189] In step 214, based on the fact that the first virtual object included in the first game screen is in the first state, the terminal device sends a help request to the server.

[0190] Among them, the help request includes the object identifier of the first virtual object and the environment identifier of the virtual environment. The help request is used for the server to determine the fourth virtual object that helps the first virtual object in the virtual environment. The first virtual object being in the first state includes but is not limited to the first virtual object being in a fallen state, the health value of the first virtual object being lower than the health threshold, a certain object skill of the first virtual object being disabled, and the number of virtual ammunitions included in the virtual item held by the first virtual object being lower than the quantity threshold. Optionally, the first virtual object being in a fallen state may be that the first virtual object is knocked down by the second virtual object, causing the first virtual object to fall to the ground. Of course, the first virtual object being in a fallen state does not necessarily mean that the first virtual object has fallen to the ground. It may also be that the health value of the first virtual object is a reference value, and the reference value is lower than the health threshold. The health threshold, quantity threshold, and reference value are all set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. Exemplarily, the health threshold is 10, the quantity threshold is 2, and the reference value is 0.

[0191] Taking the first virtual object being in the first state as the first virtual object being in a fallen state as an example, as Figure 13 is a schematic diagram showing another display of the first game screen provided by the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 13 the shown first game screen, it includes the first virtual object 1301 and the second virtual object 1302 that are in a fallen state.

[0192] The first virtual object being in the first state means that the first virtual object needs help. Therefore, it is necessary to send a help request to the server so that the server can determine the fourth virtual object that helps the first virtual object.

[0193] In step 215, the server receives the help request sent by the terminal device and sends a second game animation to the terminal device according to the help request.

[0194] In a possible implementation, the server receives a help request sent by a terminal device, parses the help request to obtain the object identifier of a first virtual object and the environment identifier of a virtual environment, and determines whether the virtual environment allows assistance based on the environment identifier of the virtual environment. When the virtual environment allows assistance, it determines whether there is a fourth virtual object whose intimacy with the first virtual object is greater than a third intimacy threshold based on the object identifier of the first virtual object. When there is a fourth virtual object whose intimacy with the first virtual object is greater than the third intimacy threshold, the server sends a second game animation to the terminal device. The second game animation is an animation in which the fourth virtual object appears and helps the first virtual object, causing the state of the first virtual object to change from a first state to a second state.

[0195] Among them, the second state is the state corresponding to the first state. The second game animation is the game animation corresponding to the second state. Exemplarily, when the first virtual object is in the first state of being in a fallen state, the first virtual object is in the second state of being in a standing state, and the second game animation is an animation in which the fourth virtual object descends from the sky, gives the first virtual object a stimulant injection, and makes the first virtual object slowly get up. Or, when the first virtual object is in the first state of having a health value lower than the health threshold, the first virtual object is in the second state of having a health value higher than the health threshold, and the second game animation is an animation in which the fourth virtual object descends from the sky, transfers a first quantity of health value to the first virtual object, and increases the health value of the first virtual object. Or, when the first virtual object is in the first state of having a certain object skill disabled, the first virtual object is in the second state of having a certain object skill available, and the second game animation is an animation in which the fourth virtual object descends from the sky, sends a release resource to the first virtual object, and makes a certain object skill of the first virtual object available. Or, when the first virtual object is in the first state of having the quantity of virtual ammunition included in the virtual item it holds lower than the quantity threshold, the first virtual object is in the second state of having the quantity of virtual ammunition included in the virtual item it holds higher than the quantity threshold, and the second game animation is an animation in which the fourth virtual object descends from the sky, transfers a second quantity of virtual ammunition to the first virtual object, and makes the quantity of virtual ammunition included in the virtual item held by the first virtual object higher than the quantity threshold.

[0196] Among them, the first quantity and the second quantity are set based on experience or adjusted according to the implementation environment, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. Exemplarily, the first quantity is 10 and the second quantity is 5.

[0197] Among them, the fourth virtual object is a non-player-controlled virtual object included in the target game. The fourth virtual object may or may not be a virtual object associated with the first virtual object, and the embodiments of the present application do not limit this. The third intimacy threshold 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 third intimacy threshold is 9. Optionally, the third intimacy threshold is greater than the first intimacy threshold.

[0198] Optionally, when there is a fourth virtual object whose intimacy with the first virtual object is greater than the third intimacy threshold, and the fourth virtual object is a virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game, the server sends a second game animation to the terminal device.

[0199] If the number of virtual objects whose intimacy with the first virtual object is greater than the third intimacy threshold is one, then this virtual object is used as the fourth virtual object. If the number of virtual objects whose intimacy with the first virtual object is greater than the third intimacy threshold is multiple, then any one of the virtual objects whose intimacy with the first virtual object is greater than the third intimacy threshold is used as the fourth virtual object, or the virtual object with the highest intimacy among the virtual objects whose intimacy with the first virtual object is greater than the third intimacy threshold is used as the fourth virtual object.

[0200] In step 216, the terminal device receives the second game animation sent by the server and displays a third game screen according to the second game animation.

[0201] In a possible implementation, the terminal device receives the second game animation, plays the second game animation, and after the second game animation ends, displays a third game screen. The third game screen includes the first virtual object and the fourth virtual object in the second state. The third virtual screen also includes the second virtual object. Optionally, since the first virtual object in the first game screen is in the first state, the first game screen is gray. During the process of playing the second game animation in the first game screen, the first game screen slowly becomes colorful, so that the finally displayed third game screen is colorful.

[0202] As Figure 14 is a schematic diagram showing the display of a third game screen provided by the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 14 the shown third game screen, it includes the first virtual object 1401, the second virtual object 1402, and the fourth virtual object 1403 in the standing state.

[0203] In a possible implementation, after the fourth virtual object helps the first virtual object change from the first state to the second state, the fourth virtual object can also give virtual items to the first virtual object. After the first virtual object accepts the virtual items given by the fourth virtual object, the first virtual object and the fourth virtual object fight together. When there are no virtual objects belonging to different game teams from the first virtual object in the virtual environment, the fourth virtual object withdraws, and the fourth virtual object is no longer included in the third game screen. Alternatively, when the display duration of the fourth virtual object is the reference duration, the fourth virtual object withdraws, and the fourth virtual object is no longer included in the third game screen.

[0204] Among them, the reference duration 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 reference duration is 3 minutes.

[0205] Optionally, after the fourth virtual object withdraws, the fourth virtual object will also talk to the first virtual object to inform the first virtual object to pay attention to protecting itself.

[0206] In a possible implementation, there is a non-player controlled virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the base of the first virtual object. Based on the fourth virtual object being a non-player controlled virtual object, when the first virtual object returns to the base, the fourth virtual object can also talk to the first virtual object. For example, the conversation content between the fourth virtual object and the first virtual object is "How about it? Thanks to knowing me, otherwise you would have died there."

[0207] In step 217, based on the fact that the first game screen further includes a fifth virtual object, when the object attribute of the first virtual object is lower than the attribute threshold, the terminal device sends a gain request to the server.

[0208] Among them, the fifth virtual object is a virtual object that helps the sixth virtual object fight against the second virtual object. The sixth virtual object and the first virtual object belong to the same game team, and the fifth virtual object is a non-player controlled virtual object included in the target game. That is, the fifth virtual object is an NPC summoned by the sixth virtual object. The object attribute includes any one of health value, attack power, and damage power.

[0209] Such as Figure 15 is another display schematic diagram of the first game screen provided by the embodiments of the present application. In Figure 15 The shown first game screen includes a first virtual object 1501, a fifth virtual object 1502, and a second virtual object 1503.

[0210] In a possible implementation, based on the fact that the object attribute of the first virtual object is lower than the attribute threshold, the terminal device generates a gain request, which includes the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the fifth virtual object. The terminal device sends the gain request to the server. The gain request is used for the server to determine whether the fifth virtual object can increase the object attribute of the first virtual object.

[0211] In step 218, the server receives the gain request sent by the terminal device and sends the third game animation to the terminal device according to the gain request.

[0212] In a possible implementation, the server receives the gain request sent by the terminal device, parses the gain request to obtain the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the fifth virtual object. According to the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the fifth virtual object, the server determines the intimacy between the first virtual object and the fifth virtual object. Based on the fact that the intimacy between the first virtual object and the fifth virtual object is greater than the fourth intimacy threshold, the server sends the fourth game animation to the terminal device. The third game animation is an animation in which the fifth virtual object adds object attributes to the first virtual object. Exemplarily, the third game animation is that the fifth virtual object greets the first virtual object: "Hey, what a coincidence to be on the same team with you this time. Good luck! Well, let's see who performs better in this task. Have some of my lucky snacks and let's cheer together." After the greeting, the fifth virtual object throws its portable snacks to the first virtual object, and the first virtual object eats the snacks.

[0213] Optionally, based on the fact that the intimacy between the first virtual object and the fifth virtual object is greater than the fourth intimacy threshold, and the fifth virtual object is a virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game, the server sends the fourth game animation to the terminal device.

[0214] The fourth intimacy threshold 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 fourth intimacy threshold is 8. Optionally, the fourth intimacy threshold is greater than the first intimacy threshold.

[0215] In step 219, the terminal device receives the third game animation sent by the server and displays the fourth game screen according to the third game animation.

[0216] In a possible implementation, the terminal device receives the third game animation, plays the third game animation, and after the third game animation ends, displays the fourth game screen. The object attribute of the first virtual object included in the fourth game screen is higher than the object attribute of the first virtual object included in the first game screen.

[0217] Such as Figure 16It is a schematic diagram showing the display of a fourth game screen provided by an embodiment of the present application. In Figure 16 In the fourth game screen shown, the first virtual object 1601 included has 10 more attack powers than the first virtual object included in the first game screen.

[0218] During the battle between the first virtual object and the second virtual object, the above method can call at least one third virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game through the summoning function to help the first virtual object fight against the second virtual object together. This makes the game interaction more diverse and more flexible, thereby improving the game experience, enhancing the stickiness of the game to players, and then increasing the player retention rate of the game.

[0219] Moreover, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object can be enhanced by the way of the first virtual object and the third virtual object having a conversation. The higher the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object, the higher the success rate of summoning the third virtual object, and the higher the possibility that the third virtual object will come to the rescue when the first virtual object is in danger during the game process.

[0220] In addition, during the game process, when the object attribute of the first virtual object is lower than the attribute threshold, the fifth virtual object can increase the object attribute of the first virtual object, which can not only increase the retention rate of the game, but also increase the immersion of the game.

[0221] Figure 17 It is a flowchart of a game interaction method provided by an embodiment of the present application. This method can be executed by the terminal device 101 in the Figure 1 implementation environment shown. As Figure 17 shown, this method includes the following content.

[0222] In step 1701, display the first game screen of the target game. The first game screen includes a first virtual object located in a virtual environment and a second virtual object fighting against the first virtual object.

[0223] In a possible implementation manner, the process of displaying the first game screen of the target game has been described in step 209 above. Reference can be made to the relevant description in step 209, and details will not be repeated here.

[0224] In step 1702, in response to the trigger operation of the summoning function, display the object information of at least one virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game.

[0225] In a possible implementation, in response to a triggering operation of the summoning function, the process of displaying object information of at least one virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game has been described in step 210 above. For relevant descriptions, refer to step 210 above and will not be elaborated here.

[0226] In step 1703, in response to a triggering operation on the object information of the third virtual object among at least one virtual object, a second game screen is displayed. The second game screen includes the first virtual object, the third virtual object, and the second virtual object. The third virtual object is used to assist the first virtual object in fighting against the second virtual object.

[0227] In a possible implementation, the process of displaying the second game screen in response to a triggering operation on the object information of the third virtual object among at least one virtual object has been described in steps 211 to 213 above. For relevant descriptions, refer to steps 211 to 213 above and will not be elaborated here.

[0228] During the process of the first virtual object and the second virtual object fighting against each other, the above method can use the summoning function to summon a third virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game to come and assist the first virtual object in fighting against the second virtual object together. This makes the game interaction more diverse and more flexible, thereby improving the game experience, enhancing the stickiness of the game to players, and further increasing the player retention rate of the game.

[0229] Figure 18 is a flowchart of a game interaction method provided by an embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by Figure 1 the server 102 in the implementation environment shown as Figure 18 shown, and this method includes the following content.

[0230] In step 1801, a summoning request sent by a terminal device is received. The summoning request includes the object identifier of the first virtual object located in a virtual environment and fighting against a second virtual object in a first game screen, the object identifier of the third virtual object, and the environment identifier of the virtual environment. The third virtual object is a virtual object associated with the first virtual object.

[0231] In a possible implementation, the process of receiving the summoning request sent by the terminal device has been described in step 212 above. For relevant descriptions, refer to step 212 above and will not be elaborated here.

[0232] In step 1802, when it is determined according to the environment identifier of the virtual environment that the virtual environment allows assistance, the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object is determined according to the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the third virtual object.

[0233] In a possible implementation manner, the process of determining the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object according to the object identifier of the first virtual object and the object identifier of the third virtual object has been described in step 212 above. Reference can be made to the relevant description of step 212 above, and details will not be elaborated here.

[0234] In step 1803, based on the intimacy between the first virtual object and the third virtual object being greater than the first intimacy threshold, a first game animation is sent to the terminal device. The first game animation is the display animation of the third virtual object, and the first game animation is used for the terminal device to display a second game screen. The second game screen includes the first virtual object, the third virtual object, and the second virtual object. The third virtual object is used to help the first virtual object fight against the second virtual object.

[0235] In a possible implementation manner, the process of sending the first game animation to the terminal device has been described in step 212 above. Reference can be made to the relevant description of step 212 above, and details will not be elaborated here.

[0236] In the process of the first virtual object and the second virtual object fighting against each other, the above method can return the first game animation to the terminal device by receiving a summoning request, so as to realize that the third virtual object associated with the first virtual object in the target game comes to help the first virtual object fight against the second virtual object together. This makes the game interaction more diverse and more flexible, thereby improving the game experience, enhancing the stickiness of the game to players, and then increasing the player retention rate of the game.
