[0002] With the development of science and technology, the Internet has become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. In recent years, Internet services have become increasingly diverse. In some services, users can interact with virtual characters (also known as avatars or digital humans). In operation, virtual characters can simulate real people in real life and interact with users. In some solutions, character setting parameters can be pre-configured for virtual characters so that the virtual characters can simulate real people in real life. However, real life is complex and diverse, and people's personalities are also vivid and varied. Relying on character settings to simulate real people has limitations and cannot simulate vivid and diverse life scenes and people. Therefore, there is a need for a solution that can improve the similarity between virtual characters and real people and enrich the interaction between users and virtual characters.

[0017] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0018] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, i.e., "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "based at least in part on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below.

[0019] Herein, unless explicitly stated otherwise, executing a step “in response to A” does not mean executing the step immediately after “A” but may include one or more intermediate steps.

[0020] It is understandable that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) must comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and relevant provisions.

[0021] It is understandable that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, the type, scope of use, usage scenarios, etc. of the personal information involved in this disclosure should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

[0022] For example, in response to receiving a user's active request, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly remind the user that the operation requested to be performed will require obtaining and using the user's personal information, so that the user can independently choose whether to provide personal information to the electronic device, application, server or storage medium and other software or hardware that performs the operation of the technical solution of the present disclosure based on the prompt message.

[0023] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving a user's active request, a prompt message may be sent to the user, for example, in the form of a pop-up window, in which the prompt message may be presented in text form. Furthermore, the pop-up window may also include a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0024] It is understandable that the above notification and the process of obtaining user authorization are merely illustrative and do not constitute a limitation on the implementation of the present disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present disclosure.

[0025] As used herein, the term "in response to" refers to a state in which a corresponding event occurs or a condition is satisfied. It will be understood that the timing of executing a subsequent action executed in response to the event or condition is not necessarily strongly correlated with the time when the event occurs or the condition is satisfied. For example, in some cases, a subsequent action may be executed immediately upon the occurrence of the event or the satisfaction of the condition; in other cases, the subsequent action may be executed some time after the occurrence of the event or the satisfaction of the condition.

[0026] In this disclosure, "trigger" refers to one or more interactive operations performed by a user on a terminal device. Furthermore, these interactive operations can be triggered within the same user interface / pop-up window or within different user interfaces / pop-up windows. This disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0027] As briefly discussed above, with the development of technology, the internet has become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. In recent years, internet services have become increasingly diverse. In some services, users can interact with virtual characters (also known as avatars or digital humans). In operation, virtual characters can simulate real people in real life and interact with users. In some solutions, character setting parameters can be pre-configured for virtual characters so that the virtual characters can simulate real people in real life. However, real life is complex and diverse, and human personalities are also vivid and diverse. Relying on character settings to simulate real people has limitations and cannot simulate vivid and diverse life scenes and people. Therefore, there is a need for a solution that can improve the similarity between virtual characters and real people and enrich the interaction methods between users and virtual characters.

[0028] According to embodiments of the present disclosure, a method, apparatus, device, and computer-readable storage medium for page interaction are provided. The method includes generating, in response to a user triggering an interaction event related to a virtual character, interaction information associated with the virtual character to be used in the interaction event; presenting the interaction information in at least one user interface corresponding to the interaction event; and associating at least a portion of the interaction information with the character configuration information of the virtual character. This approach enriches the interaction methods between users and virtual characters and allows the virtual character's image to be gradually enriched as the user interacts with the character.

[0029] Various embodiments of the present disclosure will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Figure 1FIG2 is a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. In the example environment 100, an application 120 is installed in a terminal device 150. A user 140 can interact with the application 120 via the terminal device 150 and / or an attached device of the terminal device 150.

[0031] exist Figure 1 In the environment 100, if application 120 is active, terminal device 150 may present a page 160 of application 120. Page 160 may include various pages provided by application 120, such as information display pages, dialog windows, Internet game interfaces, personal profile interfaces, etc. Although only a single application is shown in the figure, in actual scenarios, multiple different applications may be installed in terminal device 110.

[0032] In some embodiments, the terminal device 150 can communicate with the server 130 to enable the supply of services to the application 120. The terminal device 150 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the terminal device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.). The server 130 can be various types of computing systems / servers that can provide computing power, including but not limited to mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in cloud environments, and the like.

[0033] In some embodiments, terminal device 150 can collaborate with server 130 to provide specific services to user 140. In some exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, example processes are described using terminal device 150 as the execution subject. It should be understood that the described example processes can be implemented collaboratively with terminal device 150 and server 130. For the sake of brevity, identical or similar content will not be repeated.

[0034] It should be understood that the structure and function of each element in the environment 100 are described for exemplary purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure. Various example implementations of the present disclosure will be described in detail below.

[0035] For a better understanding of the various embodiments of the present disclosure, reference is made to the following exemplary embodiments. Figures 2A to 4D The example user interface shown. It should be understood that Figures 2A to 4D The user interfaces shown are merely examples, and various designs are possible. For example, the various graphical elements and / or controls in the user interface may have different arrangements and different visual representations, one or more elements and / or controls may be omitted or replaced, and one or more other elements and / or controls may also be present. Furthermore, the user interface may include any appropriate content. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, Figures 2A to 4D The user interface shown may be implemented at the terminal device 150 , and may be any page of the application 120 .

[0037] In some internet-based applications, virtual characters can be generated / created. Virtual characters can simulate real people in real life to interact with users. One example service involving virtual characters is an internet game. An internet game can include multiple virtual characters, each of which completes a predetermined plot within the game. Another example service involving virtual characters is a conversational application with a storyline. In a conversational application, users can engage in conversations with virtual characters in the story to advance the predetermined plot. It should be understood that internet games and conversational applications are just two examples of internet applications involving virtual characters. In fact, there are many other applications involving virtual characters. The virtual character in this disclosure refers to any virtual image with a specific character setting that can interact with users. The various embodiments of this disclosure are applicable to various applications involving virtual characters.

[0038] In some scenarios, character parameters can be pre-set for a virtual character, including but not limited to gender, age, personality, and so on. The virtual character can interact with the user based on these parameters. In some scenarios, in addition to character parameters, to make the virtual character more realistic, the virtual character can also have virtual memories, such as historical records of virtual interactions with the user. In the example scenario of an internet game, this virtual memory can include all interactions between the virtual character and the user, including conversations, plot points involved in the game development, and so on. In the example scenario of a conversational application, this virtual memory can include all conversations between the user and the virtual character and / or the storylines involved in these conversations, and so on.

[0039] During operation, character settings and virtual memories affect the interaction between the virtual character and the user. It should be understood that in addition to character settings and virtual memories, other parameters / configurations may also affect the interaction between the user and the virtual character. In this disclosure, all parameters / configurations that affect the interaction between the user and the virtual character are referred to as character configuration information.

[0040] In traditional solutions, character configuration information is typically statically set when the character is created. Even if the character configuration information can be modified later, the method for modifying the character configuration information lacks flexibility. As discussed below, according to various embodiments of the present disclosure, user 140 can interact with the virtual character more flexibly. According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the interaction methods between the user and the virtual character are enriched, and the image of the virtual character can be gradually enriched as the user interacts with the virtual character.

[0041] In operation, user 140 can trigger an interactive event related to a virtual character. In some embodiments, the triggering of an interactive event related to a virtual character can be achieved by clicking on a trigger control. Figure 2A An example user interface is shown, including trigger control 210. See further Figure 2B The example user interface shown includes a trigger control panel on which at least one trigger control is presented. In this way, triggering an interactive event related to a virtual character can be effectively guided 140 .

[0042] In some embodiments, the presentation of the triggering control can be achieved through multiple interactive operations. As an example implementation, when the user 140 triggers Figure 2A After the trigger control 210 in the Figure 2B The user interface shown presents a trigger panel 250. User 140 can click on any trigger control in trigger panel 250 to trigger an interactive event related to the virtual character. In this way, the trigger control can be presented only when needed, avoiding the interference caused by the display of the trigger control to user 140.

[0043] In some implementations, different interaction events correspond to different trigger controls. In this case, electronic device 110 may present a trigger control for each of at least one candidate interaction event, and user 140 may receive a selection of a trigger control for the interaction event from the at least one candidate interaction event. In short, different trigger controls may correspond to different icons, allowing user 140 to understand the content of the interaction operation through the trigger control.

[0044] One example of an interaction event might be viewing a virtual character's personal profile interface. Another example of an interaction event might be viewing a virtual character's virtual terminal device, such as a virtual character's mobile device. Yet another example of an interaction event might be viewing a virtual character's virtual photo album. Yet another example of an interaction event might be viewing a virtual character's WeChat Moments, Weibo, or the like. It should be understood that the above examples of interaction events are merely illustrative. In other embodiments, an interaction event might be any interaction event directed at a virtual character. The various embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in any respect.

[0045] In some embodiments, the presentation of a trigger control requires that a predetermined condition be met. In this case, in response to at least one candidate interaction event associated with the virtual character meeting its respective presentation condition, the electronic device 110 presents the trigger control for the at least one candidate interaction event. In this way, the presentation of the trigger control is made more reasonable and interesting.

[0046] In some embodiments, different interactive controls corresponding to different candidate interactive events may correspond to different presentation conditions. Specifically, a first interactive control corresponding to a first interactive event may be presented when a first condition is met, and a second interactive control corresponding to a second interactive event may be presented when a second condition is met, wherein the first interactive event is different from the second interactive event, and the first condition is also different from the second condition. In one embodiment, an interactive control that triggers viewing of a virtual character's personal profile interface may be displayed after the user interacts with the virtual character for the first time, while a trigger control that triggers viewing of a virtual character's virtual terminal / virtual album may be presented only after certain conditions are met. In this way, the presentation of trigger controls may be made more reasonable.

[0047] In some embodiments, the presentation condition for at least one candidate interaction event is satisfied based on the interaction intimacy between the virtual character and the user. Additionally, in some embodiments, the interaction intimacy between the virtual character and the user can be associated with the interaction history between the virtual character and the user, such as the number of days they have been friends, the number of days they have chatted, the number of chats, and so on. In this way, the interaction enthusiasm between user 140 and the virtual character can be effectively increased.

[0048] In some embodiments, the presentation criteria for at least one candidate interaction event are satisfied based on historical interactions between the virtual character and the user. In one embodiment, user 140 can engage in dialogue with the virtual character to advance the storyline. For example, as the story progresses, the virtual character may show user 140 their photo album. In this way, user 140 can interact with the virtual character more closely resonating with real life.

[0049] In some embodiments, the presentation conditions for at least one candidate interaction event are satisfied based on the storyline of the virtual character. Still using a conversational application as an example, while user 140 is engaged in a conversation with the virtual character, the relationship between the virtual character and user 140 may need to be further advanced. In this case, the display of a trigger control corresponding to the candidate interaction event may be triggered. In this way, the interactive storyline can be made more interesting.

[0050] In some embodiments, the user 140 may choose whether to inform the virtual character of the currently executed operation. Figure 2BThe example user interface shown. Figure 2B In the example user interface shown, when the user 140 clicks on the Qiaoqiao viewing control, the interaction event triggered by the user 140 is not notified to the virtual character.

[0051] In some embodiments, user 140 can view the interaction events that he or she has triggered. For example, see Figure 2B The example user interface shown. Figure 2B In the example user interface shown, when the user 140 clicks on the interaction record 450, all interaction events triggered by the user 140 can be presented. In this way, the user 140 can more intuitively know the interaction record between the user 140 and the virtual character.

[0052] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, in response to user 140 triggering an interaction event related to a virtual character, electronic device 110 generates interaction information to be used by the virtual character in the interaction event. In other words, in various embodiments of the present disclosure, the interaction information to be used can be temporarily generated in response to the triggering of the interaction event. In this disclosure, interaction information refers to any interface element that will be presented to user 140 and / or can be triggered by user 140. In this way, interface presentation information can be dynamically generated as the user 140 interacts with the interface.

[0053] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can generate at least a portion of the interaction information to be used independently of the character configuration information. In other words, the interaction information to be used is unknown and completely new to the avatar. As an example embodiment, the interaction information to be used is a photo of the avatar on a beach vacation. However, the avatar's configuration information does not contain any configuration information that indicates the avatar has previously been on a beach vacation. In this way, the interaction information presented is no longer dependent on the avatar's future character configuration information, resulting in richer interaction information.

[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 presents the interaction information in at least one user interface corresponding to the interaction event. Figures 3 to 4D The example user interface shown. Figures 3 to 4D In the example user interface shown, interaction information to be used is presented respectively.

[0055] In some embodiments, at least one user interface corresponding to an interactive event displays virtual props required for the interaction of the interactive event and interactive information is presented via the virtual props, and different interactive events include different interface elements. In other words, in some embodiments, at least one user interface corresponding to an interactive event includes interface elements for supporting the completion of the interaction in the interactive event, and different interactive events include different interface elements. Figures 3 to 4D The example user interface shown. Figures 3 to 4D The interface elements shown are different. For example, when the virtual prop can be a virtual mobile terminal, by presenting the virtual prop / interface element, the presentation of the interactive information is made more realistic.

[0056] In some embodiments, the interaction information to be used is generated independently of the configuration information of the avatar. Figures 4A to 4D The example user interfaces shown in FIG. 1 respectively show different interfaces of the virtual devices of the virtual characters. Figures 4A to 4D All the contents of the example user interface shown can be generated independently of the configuration information of the virtual character, that is, temporarily generated. Figure 4A The home page of the mobile terminal shown can be temporarily generated. Figure 4B The chat interface between the virtual character and user A shown may also be temporarily generated, wherein user A and / or the chat content may be temporarily generated. Figure 4C The NOTE interface presented, and Figure 4D The consumption record interfaces shown can all be temporarily generated. In this way, the interactive content presented can be more flexible.

[0057] Alternatively, in some embodiments, part of the interaction information to be used is generated independently of the configuration information of the avatar, while the other part is generated depending on the configuration information of the avatar. Figure 3 In the example user interface shown, interactive content 320 may be generated independently of the configuration information of the avatar, while interactive content 310 may be generated dependent on the configuration information of the avatar. In this way, the complexity of generating interactive content can be reduced.

[0058] In some embodiments, the interactive content to be used can be generated by a machine learning model (e.g., a generative model). In this way, the interactive content to be used can be more diverse and the time required to generate the interactive content to be used can be shortened, making the user's interactive operation more streamlined.

[0059] In some embodiments, at least one user interface corresponding to the interaction event includes a personal profile interface of the virtual character, and the interaction information to be presented on the personal profile interface is generated based at least on historical interaction information between the virtual character and the user 140. Figure 3The example user interface shown includes interactive content 310, and the interactive content 310 can be generated based on historical interaction information between the virtual character and the user 140. In this way, the personal profile interface of the virtual character presented at the terminal devices of different users is different, thereby achieving the presentation of customized interface content.

[0060] Additionally, in some embodiments, at least one user interface corresponding to the interaction event includes a personal profile interface of the virtual character, and the interaction information includes at least a virtual historical interaction record between the user and the virtual character. Figure 3 In the example user interface shown, the interactive content 310 may be historical conversation information or recorded information of historical events between the user 140 and the virtual character. In this way, the presented interactive content is closer to real life and the user can obtain an immersive interactive experience.

[0061] As discussed above, the interaction information to be used can be presented in one or more user interfaces. In some embodiments, when the interaction information to be used needs to be presented in multiple interfaces, the electronic device 110 can present the first part of the interaction information in the first user interface corresponding to the interaction event. Next, in response to the operation of the user 140 in the first user interface, the second user interface corresponding to the interaction event is presented, wherein the second user interface presents the second part of the interaction information. Figures 4A to 4C The electronic device 110 can be Figure 4A In response to the user 140 triggering the control 410 in the first user interface, the first part of the interactive information is presented in the first user interface. Figure 4B Similarly, in response to user 140 triggering control 440 in the first user interface, the second portion of the interactive information is presented in the second user interface. Figure 4C It should be understood that the electronic device 110 may also present the third part of the interaction information in a third user interface corresponding to the interaction event (e.g., Figure 4D In this way, the interactive information is presented to the user 140 in a progressive manner, making the interactive process more interesting.

[0062] In some embodiments, when the interaction information to be used needs to be presented in multiple interfaces, the electronic device 110 can generate all the information to be interacted with at one time. For example, in response to the user 140 triggering the trigger control corresponding to the interaction event, the electronic device 110 can generate the information to be interacted with at one time. Figures 4A to 4DIn this way, since the interaction information is generated once, the electronic device 110 does not need to repeatedly call the generation process, and the subsequent interaction process of the user 140 can be made smoother.

[0063] Alternatively, in some embodiments, when the interactive information to be used needs to be presented on multiple interfaces, the electronic device 110 can trigger the generation of the content to be interacted with according to the user's interactive operation. For example, in response to the user 140 triggering the trigger control corresponding to the interactive event, the electronic device 110 can only generate the content to be interacted with on the interface. Figure 4A When the user 140 clicks the control 410, the electronic device 110 may generate an interactive content that will be displayed on the Figure 4B In this way, the generation of unnecessary interactive information can be avoided, thus improving resource utilization efficiency.

[0064] Alternatively, in some embodiments, when the interaction information to be used needs to be presented on multiple interfaces, the electronic device 110 may generate the interaction information to be used according to the hierarchical relationship between the user interfaces. Figure 4C for Figure 4A In this case, in response to the user 140 triggering the trigger control corresponding to the interaction event, the electronic device 110 generates a Figure 4A While presenting the interactive information, further generation will be Figure 4A The interactive information presented by the next level user interface will be Figure 4B and Figure 4C In this way, the smoothness of the subsequent interaction process of the user 140 is ensured, and unnecessary interaction information can be avoided.

[0065] According to various embodiments of the present disclosure, the electronic device 110 may associate at least a portion of the interaction information with the character configuration information of the virtual character. In this way, the image of the virtual character may be gradually enriched as the interaction with the user increases.

[0066] Additionally, in some embodiments, the interaction information is associated with the character configuration information of the virtual character only when certain conditions are met. In one embodiment, in response to the completion of the presentation of at least a portion of the interaction information, the electronic device 110 can associate at least a portion of the interaction information with the character configuration information of the virtual character. For example, when the interaction information to be used needs to be presented in multiple interfaces, or the displayed user interface needs to be fully displayed through a sliding / dragging operation, the electronic device 110 only associates the interaction information presented in the current user interface and viewed by the user 140 with the character configuration information of the virtual character. In this way, it is ensured that the association operation is meaningful to the user 140.

[0067] Alternatively, in some embodiments, the electronic device 110 only associates the interaction information generated independently of the character configuration information with the configuration information of the virtual character. Figure 3 In the illustrated user interface, interactive content 320 can be generated independently of the avatar's configuration information, while interactive content 310 can be generated dependent on the avatar's configuration information. During operation, electronic device 110 only associates interactive content 320 with the avatar's character configuration information. This is because interactive content 310 has already been associated with the avatar's character configuration information. This shows that by setting execution conditions for the association operation, the interaction information to be associated can be pre-processed before executing the association operation, thereby avoiding the waste of resources caused by unnecessary association operations.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the interaction information to be used needs to be presented in multiple interfaces, or the displayed user interface needs to be fully displayed through a sliding / dragging operation, the association operation performed by the electronic device 110 is also gradual. Specifically, the electronic device 110 can present the first part of the interaction information in the first user interface corresponding to the interaction event, and associate at least a part of the first part of the interaction information with the character configuration information of the virtual character. Next, in response to the user's operation in the first user interface (for example, sliding, clicking on the control, etc.), the electronic device 110 can present a second user interface corresponding to the interaction event, wherein the second user interface presents the second part of the interaction information. The electronic device 110 can then associate at least a part of the second part of the interaction information with the character configuration information of the virtual character. In this way, the computing resources occupied by the association operation can be minimized, and the utilization of computing resources is improved.

[0069] In one example, when the user interface presents character setting information of a virtual character, for example, a hobby of traveling, if the interaction information is not included in the character configuration information of the virtual character, the electronic device 110 may associate the hobby information displayed in the user interface with the character configuration information of the virtual character.

[0070] In another example, when a chat interface between a virtual character and user A is presented in the user interface, both user A and the chat content with user A are independent of the character configuration information of the virtual character. In this case, a virtual memory related to user A is added to the virtual character's virtual memory, and the chat content with user A is also stored in the virtual character's virtual memory.

[0071] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can perform subsequent interactions between the user and the virtual character based on the character configuration information associated with the interaction information. In one example scenario, after the hobby information displayed in the user interface is associated with the character configuration information of the virtual character, if user 140 mentions the virtual character's hobby in a subsequent conversation, the virtual character can respond based on the associated character configuration information. In another example scenario, if a chat message with user A is presented in the user interface, which mentions going mountain hiking with user A this Sunday, if user 140 asks the virtual character about their plans for this Sunday in a subsequent interaction, the virtual character can respond that they have already made an appointment to go mountain hiking.
