Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application.

As used in this specification and the appended claims, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0051] It should be further understood that the term "and / or" used in this specification and the appended claims refers to and includes any and all possible combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0052] As used in this specification and the appended claims, the term "if" can be interpreted as "when" or "upon" or "in response to determining" or "in response to detecting," depending on the context. Similarly, the phrase "if it is determined" or "if [described condition or event] is detected" can be interpreted as meaning "upon determination" or "in response to determining" or "upon detection of [described condition or event]" or "in response to detecting [described condition or event]," depending on the context.

[0053] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that multiple users cannot interact with the same virtual pet, the present application provides a shared virtual pet interaction simulation device, which enables multiple users to interact with the same virtual pet.

[0054] Figure 1 This is one of the flow charts of a method for sharing virtual pet interaction simulation provided in an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the method includes:

[0055] S1. Receive first interaction data between a first user and a shared virtual pet at a first time.

[0056] Here, the first time refers to the first moment.

[0057] This application uses a 3D modeling tool to create 3D models of various pet types. Each pet type includes basic body structure and skeletal data related to that structure. The basic body structure includes the head, torso, and limbs. Users can select the pet's breed, color, and pattern based on their needs.

[0058] The user uses a terminal device to interact with a shared virtual pet. The first interaction data is used to characterize the interaction behavior of the first user with the shared virtual pet. The first interaction data includes touch commands, voice commands, and key commands. For example, the user clicks or slides the screen of the terminal device to interact with the shared virtual pet. For another example, the user controls the terminal device through voice to interact with the shared virtual pet. For another example, the user controls the terminal device through an external keyboard such as a remote control to interact with the shared virtual pet. It should be noted that the terminal device can be a smartphone, a computer, or a smart TV. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0059] It should be noted that the embodiments of this application provide family accounts and member accounts. In the system default mode, one family account is bound to one shared virtual pet. Of course, one family account can also be bound to multiple shared virtual pets at the same time. Among them, multiple shared virtual pets can be shared virtual pets of different types or of the same type. This application does not impose any restrictions on this. Multiple member accounts can be bound to the same family account at the same time, allowing multiple members to interact with the same shared virtual pet.

[0060] S2. Receive second interaction data between the second user and the shared virtual pet at a second time.

[0061] The second time represents the second moment. The second interaction data is used to characterize the interaction behavior of the second user with the shared virtual pet. It should be noted that S2 can be executed before S1, or S1 and S2 can be executed simultaneously. S1 and S2 are the same or similar. This application will not repeat them here.

[0062] S3. Inputting the first interaction data into a preset behavior model to obtain first behavior information of the shared virtual pet;

[0063] The preset behavior model is an artificial intelligence model trained by the applicant using training data. The training process of the artificial intelligence model is as follows:

[0064] a. Prepare training data and validation data.

[0065] Among them, training data or verification data includes: pet behavior data, user interaction data, emotion-behavior mapping data and scene context data.

[0066] Pet behavior data includes real pet motion data and manually annotated behavior labels. For example, a 3D skeletal animation sequence of a dog walking. Another example is a wagging tail to indicate happiness.

[0067] User interaction data includes sample data of command-behavior pairs. For example, the voice command "sit" corresponds to the animation frame sequence of "pet sits".

[0068] User interaction data also includes multimodal interaction records, such as data on a pet’s “eating” action when a user touches the feeding area on the screen.

[0069] Emotion-behavior mapping data is the correlation between the user's emotional state and the pet's behavior. For example, if the user's emotional state is happy, the corresponding pet action is rubbing the user's hand. For another example, if the user's emotional state is angry, the corresponding pet action is lowering its head.

[0070] Scene context data includes the pet's action data in a specific environment. For example, in a park scene, the pet is more likely to run.

[0071] b. Build a network model.

[0072] Among them, in the embodiment of the present application, a network model is constructed based on a convolutional neural network and a long short-term memory network.

[0073] The convolutional neural network is used to extract the pet's motion features from the pet's motion data. The long short-term memory network is used to predict the pet's next action based on the pet's motion features.

[0074] c. Define the loss function of the AI ​​model.

[0075] Among them, the loss function is the multi-classification cross entropy loss function.

[0076] d. Use training data and verification data to train and verify the network model respectively.

[0077] Among them, the accuracy of pet behavior classification, the smoothness of pet movements and the emotional matching between pets and users are used to verify whether the network model meets the requirements.

[0078] S4. Input the second interaction data into a preset behavior model to obtain second behavior information of the shared virtual pet.

[0079] It should be noted that S4 can be executed before S3, or S3 and S4 can be executed simultaneously. S3 and S4 are the same or similar. This application will not elaborate on this.

[0080] S5. Acquire first interactive animation data of the shared virtual pet according to the first behavior information and the second behavior information.

[0081] The first interactive animation data may be skeleton data of a shared virtual pet or an interactive video stream between the shared virtual pet and the user.

[0082] S6. Send the first interactive animation data to the first user and the second user respectively.

[0083] The first interactive animation data is used to represent the interactive behavior of the first user and the second user with the shared virtual pet.

[0084] After receiving the first interactive animation data, the first user terminal and the second user terminal render the skeleton in real time or directly play the interactive video stream according to the content of the first interactive animation data, so as to display the interactive behaviors of the first user and the second user with the shared virtual pet on the first user terminal and the second user terminal respectively.

[0085] In one embodiment, the first interactive animation data shares differential data of a shared virtual pet. For example, when the shared virtual pet only needs to wag its tail, the skeletal data of the shared virtual pet's tail is transmitted to the user terminal. The user terminal then updates and renders only the animation of the shared virtual pet's tail, combining the skeletal data of the current shared virtual pet. This effectively reduces the data transmission rate and improves rendering speed on the user terminal.

[0086] The present invention provides a method, apparatus, device, and medium for simulating the interaction of a shared virtual pet. The method includes: receiving first interaction data between a first user and a shared virtual pet at a first time, the first interaction data being used to characterize the interaction behavior of the first user with the shared virtual pet; receiving second interaction data between a second user and the shared virtual pet at a second time, the second interaction data being used to characterize the interaction behavior of the second user with the shared virtual pet; inputting the first interaction data into a preset behavior model to obtain first behavior information of the shared virtual pet; inputting the second interaction data into the preset behavior model to obtain second behavior information of the shared virtual pet; obtaining first interaction animation data of the shared virtual pet based on the first and second behavior information; and sending the first interaction animation data to the first and second users, respectively, the first interaction animation data being used to characterize the interaction behavior of the first and second users with the shared virtual pet. Therefore, the technical solution of the present invention receives interaction data between the first and second users and the shared virtual pet, and inputs the interaction data into the preset behavior model to obtain behavior information of the shared virtual pet. Therefore, multiple users can interact with the same virtual pet. Shared virtual pets can integrate the interactive behaviors of different users, simulate real pets and give users real emotional feedback, thereby improving the interactive experience between users and virtual pets.

[0087] See also Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a second flow chart of a shared virtual pet interaction simulation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, the first behavior information includes information about a first action of the shared virtual pet, and the second behavior information includes information about a second action of the shared virtual pet. Acquiring first interactive animation data of the shared virtual pet based on the first and second behavior information includes:

[0088] S51: Determine whether the first action and the second action are mutually exclusive.

[0089] It should be noted that when the first action and the second action conflict, they are mutually exclusive. For example, the pet's "sit" action and the pet's "run" action are mutually exclusive. If the first action and the second action are mutually exclusive, then S52 to S54 are executed. If the first action and the second action are not mutually exclusive, then S55 to S56 are executed.

[0090] S52: Acquire second interactive animation data of the shared virtual pet according to the first behavior information.

[0091] The second interactive animation data may be skeleton data of a shared virtual pet or an interactive video stream between the shared virtual pet and the user.

[0092] S53: Acquire third interactive animation data of the shared virtual pet according to the second behavior information.

[0093] It should be noted that S53 may be executed before S52, or S53 and S52 may be executed simultaneously. S52 and S53 are identical or similar. This application will not elaborate on this.

[0094] S54: Merge the second interactive animation data and the third interactive animation data to obtain first interactive animation data.

[0095] In one embodiment, the merging of the second interactive animation data and the third interactive animation data to obtain the first interactive animation data includes:

[0096] A. Determine whether the time difference between the first time and the second time is greater than a preset time threshold.

[0097] The preset time threshold is obtained by this application based on experimental data. Preferably, the preset time threshold is 2 seconds. Of course, the preset time threshold can also be 1 second. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0098] B. If yes, then merge the second interactive animation data and the third interactive animation data according to the time sequence of the first time and the second time to obtain the first interactive animation data.

[0099] If the time difference between the first time and the second time is greater than a preset time threshold, it indicates that the first action of the shared virtual pet and the second action of the shared virtual pet were not performed at the same time. Therefore, the first interactive animation data can be obtained by simply merging the second interactive animation data and the third interactive animation data according to the time sequence of the first time and the second time.

[0100] C. If not, then merge the second interactive animation data and the third interactive animation data according to a preset user priority rule to obtain the first interactive animation data.

[0101] When the time difference between the first time and the second time is greater than the preset time threshold, it means that the first action of the shared virtual pet and the second action of the shared virtual pet are executed at the same time. Since the first action and the second action are mutually exclusive, it is necessary to merge the second interactive animation data and the third interactive animation data according to the preset user priority rules. Among them, the preset user priority rules are pre-set in this application. For example, the priority of the interactive behavior of parents with virtual pets is higher than the priority of the interactive behavior of children with virtual pets. Therefore, the final performance behavior of the shared virtual pet is to show the interactive behavior with parents first, and then show the interactive behavior with children.

[0102] S55: Combine the first behavior information and the second behavior information to obtain third behavior information.

[0103] When the first action of the shared virtual pet and the second action of the shared virtual pet are not mutually exclusive, the first action information and the second action information are combined to obtain third action information, wherein the third action information includes information about the first action of the shared virtual pet and information about the second action of the shared virtual pet.

[0104] S56. Obtain the first interactive animation data according to the third behavior information.

[0105] It should be noted that S56 and S52 are the same or similar, and this application will not elaborate on this.

[0106] In one embodiment, obtaining second interactive animation data of the shared virtual pet according to the first behavior information includes:

[0107] A1. Obtain second interactive animation data from a preset animation library according to information of the first action.

[0108] The preset animation library stores multiple action animations. The types of multiple action animations include complete action animations and partial action animations. Among them, the complete action animation is a shared virtual pet full-body skeleton animation. The shared virtual pet full-body skeleton animation includes animations of shared virtual pet full-body skeleton movements. For example, animations of basic behavioral movements such as sitting, walking, and jumping. Partial action clips include shared virtual pet partial skeleton animations. For example, a shared virtual pet's tail wagging, etc. Partial action clips are generally used for emotional detail enhancement. The usage scenarios of partial action clips will be detailed in the following embodiments. Here, this application will not go into details.

[0109] For example, when the first action information is information about sitting down, the action animation of the shared virtual pet sitting down is searched from the preset animation library. Of course, the obtained action animation can also be rendered into an action video stream.

[0110] In one embodiment, the first behavior information further includes emotional state information of the shared virtual pet, and obtaining the second interactive animation data from the preset animation library according to the action information includes:

[0111] a1. Obtaining fourth interactive animation data from a preset animation library according to information about the first action;

[0112] It should be noted that a1 and A1 are the same or similar and will not be described in detail herein.

[0113] a2. Adjust the fourth interactive animation data according to the emotional state information of the shared virtual pet to obtain the second interactive animation data.

[0114] For example, the playback speed of the fourth interactive animation data or the swing amplitude of the action in the interactive animation data may be adjusted according to the emotional state information of the shared virtual pet.

[0115] In one embodiment, partial action animation is obtained from a preset animation library according to the emotional state information of the shared virtual pet, and the partial action animation is combined with the complete action animation to obtain second interactive animation data.

[0116] See also Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart of a third method for simulating a shared virtual pet interaction provided in an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, before inputting the first interaction data into a preset behavior model to obtain the first behavior information of the shared virtual pet, the method further includes:

[0117] S7. Obtain the emotional state information of the first user at the first time.

[0118] The emotional state information is used to represent the emotional state of the first user at the first time. The emotional state information can be angry, happy, sad, etc.

[0119] In one embodiment, the first user terminal captures an expression picture of the first user through a camera, and then uses OpenCV to identify the first user's emotional label, such as happy or angry. Finally, the identified emotional label is sent to the system as emotional state information.

[0120] In another embodiment, the first user terminal extracts the user's emotional label from the user's voice command. Specifically, the first user's emotional label, such as excitement or fatigue, can be obtained by extracting temporal emotional features from the first user's voice command based on Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients and long short-term memory networks. The identified emotional label is then sent to the system as emotional state information.

[0121] In another embodiment, the first user terminal extracts the first user's emotional tag by analyzing the text information input by the first user. For example, when the first user interacts with a shared virtual pet through text chat, the first user terminal uses a large language model to extract the first user's emotional tag based on the interactive text information input by the first user. The large language model can be Doubao or ChatGPT. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0122] The step of inputting the first interaction data into a preset behavior model to obtain first behavior information of the shared virtual pet includes:

[0123] S31: Input the first interaction data and the emotional state information of the first user at the first time into a preset behavior model to obtain first behavior information.

[0124] It should be noted that the first behavior information is derived by combining the first interaction data and the emotional state of the first user at the time, making the first behavior information more consistent with the pet's actual emotional feedback in a real environment, thereby effectively improving the interactive experience between the first user and the shared virtual pet. For example, when the first user angrily says to the shared virtual pet, "Come over here," the shared virtual pet recognizes the first user's anger, lowers its ears, and slowly walks over.

[0125] See also Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a fourth flow chart of a shared virtual pet interaction simulation method provided in an embodiment of the present application. In one embodiment, before inputting the first interaction data into a preset behavior model to obtain the first behavior information of the shared virtual pet, the method further includes:

[0126] S8. Obtain interactive scene information of the shared virtual pet.

[0127] The interactive scene information is used to indicate the interactive environment of the shared virtual pet, which includes but is not limited to a bedroom, a kitchen, and a park.

[0128] The user can change the interactive environment of the shared virtual pet through the user terminal device. Specifically, the user uploads a user-defined background image through the user terminal. The user terminal loads the customized background image and renders it to achieve the interactive environment of the shared virtual pet.

[0129] It should be noted that S8 may be executed first and then S7, or S7 and S8 may be executed simultaneously.

[0130] In one embodiment, the embodiment of the present application also includes using a distributed database to store the first interaction data, the second interaction data, the first behavior information, the second behavior information, the first interaction animation data, and the attributes and status information of the shared virtual pet itself. Among them, the attributes of the shared virtual pet itself include but are not limited to the type, breed, color, name and age of the shared virtual pet. The status information of the shared virtual pet includes but is limited to the health indicators, emotional values ​​and growth records of the shared virtual pet. The embodiment of the present application uses the above-mentioned storage action to achieve that the status, growth progress, interaction history and other data of the shared virtual pet can be kept synchronized on different terminal devices to ensure a seamless interactive experience.

[0131] In one embodiment, the present application restricts user interaction based on user type. For example, child users may be restricted from directly purchasing virtual items to prevent accidental purchases. Virtual items include, but are not limited to, food, drinks, props, toys, and decorations. Another example is that member accounts may be prohibited from directly deleting information about shared virtual pets in a family account.

[0132] The step of inputting the first interaction data and the emotional state information of the first user at the first time into the preset behavior model to obtain the first behavior information includes:

[0133] S311: Input the first interaction data, the emotional state information of the first user at the first time, and the interaction scene information into a preset behavior model to obtain first behavior information.

[0134] It should be noted that the first behavior information is derived by combining the first interaction data with the first user's emotional state information and interaction scene information at the first moment. This makes the first behavior information more consistent with the pet's actual emotional feedback in the real environment, thereby effectively improving the interaction experience between the first user and the shared virtual pet. For example, when the first user angrily says to the shared virtual pet, "Come here!", the shared virtual pet recognizes the first user's anger and drops its ears. If the shared virtual pet's interaction environment is a park, the shared virtual pet may quickly approach. If the shared virtual pet's interaction environment is a kitchen, the shared virtual pet may slowly approach.

[0135] In one embodiment, the second behavior information is obtained in the same or similar manner as the first behavior information, and this application will not elaborate on this.

[0136] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5This is a schematic block diagram of a shared virtual pet interaction simulation device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Corresponding to the above shared virtual pet interaction simulation method, the present application also provides a shared virtual pet interaction simulation device. The shared virtual pet interaction simulation device includes a unit for executing the above shared virtual pet interaction simulation method. The shared virtual pet interaction simulation device can be configured in a desktop computer, tablet computer, laptop computer, or other terminal. Specifically, the shared virtual pet interaction simulation device includes:

[0137] A first receiving unit 501 is configured to receive first interaction data between a first user and a shared virtual pet at a first time, wherein the first interaction data is used to represent an interaction behavior between the first user and the shared virtual pet;
