[0096] Figure 2 is a flowchart of an interaction method in a virtual space according to an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The method is executed by a terminal, and the method includes the following steps.

[0097] In step S201, in response to an occurrence of a sending event for the first virtual item in the virtual space, the terminal displays an interactive element associated with the sending event in the virtual space, the interactive element being used to obtain a virtual resource capable of sending a second virtual item in the virtual space.

[0098] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the virtual space can be a live interface, a session interface, a playing interface of a multimedia resource, etc., which are not limited herein. Further, if the virtual space is a live interface, the virtual space can be a single live interface of a host or a joint live interface of multiple hosts.

[0099] In other embodiments, the virtual space can also be a virtual space constructed by MR (Mixed Reality) or VR (Virtual Reality) technology, such as a live room for MR live.

[0100] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the first virtual item can be any virtual item. Alternatively, the first virtual item is a special virtual item capable of triggering the display of the interactive element. The virtual item can be a virtual gift. The sending event in the virtual space for the first virtual item indicates that the first virtual item is sent in the virtual space, and the sending event can be at least one of displaying a special effect of the sent first virtual item in the virtual space or displaying prompt information of sending the first virtual item in the virtual space.

[0101] The interactive element associated with the sending event is an interactive element capable of being displayed when the virtual item is sent. Alternatively, different virtual items are associated with different interactive elements, or at least part of the virtual items are associated with different interactive elements. The association relationship between various virtual items and the associated interactive elements can be established in advance, and then the interactive element associated with the virtual item is displayed after any virtual item is sent.

[0102] The virtual space has multiple viewers, and the multiple viewers can send virtual items in the virtual space. The viewer who sends the first virtual item in the virtual space can be a current terminal login object or another viewer in the virtual space. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the viewer who sends the first virtual item in the virtual space is taken as an example to illustrate the current terminal login object, and the interactive element capable of obtaining the virtual resource is provided for the viewer who sends the virtual item.

[0103] The first virtual item sent out can be one or more, which is not specifically limited herein. The audience can send out various virtual items in the virtual space, and different virtual items can correspond to the same value or different values. The value corresponding to the virtual item is the value of the virtual resource required to send out the virtual item, which is also referred to as the price. Alternatively, the virtual resource includes a plurality of virtual sub-resources, and each virtual sub-resource corresponds to 1 unit value. Therefore, the value of the virtual resource indicates the number of virtual sub-resources included in the virtual resource.

[0104] The virtual item needs to be replaced by a virtual resource before it can be sent out in the virtual space. The obtained virtual resource is used to send out the virtual item in the virtual space, that is, the obtained virtual resource is used to replace the virtual item to send out the replaced virtual item in the virtual space.

[0105] In the embodiments of the present application, the second virtual item can be any virtual item. Alternatively, the second virtual item is a virtual item associated with the interactive element. The second virtual item can be the same as or different from the first virtual item, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0106] In the embodiments of the present application, the terminal can display the interactive element after displaying the first virtual item sent out, or can display the interactive element at the same time as displaying the first virtual item sent out. Displaying the interactive element after displaying the first virtual item sent out can display the interactive element after canceling the display of the first virtual item sent out, or can display the first virtual item sent out first, and then display the interactive element on the basis of the displayed first virtual item. For example, if the display of the first virtual item sent out refers to the display of the sending special effect of the first virtual item, the interactive element can be displayed on the sending special effect after the display of the sending special effect of the first virtual item.

[0107] In step S202, the terminal displays the virtual resource obtained based on the interactive element in response to the interactive operation on the interactive element.

[0108] The interactive operation on the interactive element can be set as needed, such as a click operation, a long press operation, and the like, which is not specifically limited herein.

[0109] Alternatively, the obtained virtual resource is used to send out a virtual item, and the obtained virtual resource has a certain value. The terminal displays the virtual resource, including displaying at least one of the image and the value of the virtual resource.

[0110] This disclosure provides an interactive method in a virtual space. After sending a first virtual item in the virtual space, an associated interactive element is displayed. Viewers interact with this interactive element to obtain virtual resources for sending a second virtual item. Displaying the interactive element after sending virtual resources enhances the visual appeal of the interface when sending virtual items. Furthermore, the ability for viewers to obtain virtual resources for sending a second virtual item through interaction with the interactive element increases their sense of accomplishment. Since these virtual resources can be used to send a second virtual item, it encourages viewers to interact based on the interactive element and send the second virtual item based on the obtained virtual resources. This expands the interactive paths and new gameplay options for sending virtual items in the virtual space, thereby increasing the probability of successfully sending virtual items in the virtual space.

[0111] The above Figure 2 The diagram shown is merely the basic process of this disclosure. The following section, based on a specific implementation method, further elaborates on the solution provided in this disclosure. See also... Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating another interactive method in a virtual space according to an exemplary embodiment, the method being executed by a terminal, and the method comprising the following steps.

[0112] In step S301, in response to a sending event for the first virtual item occurring in the virtual space, the terminal displays an interactive element associated with the sending event in the virtual space. The interactive element is used to obtain virtual resources that can send the second virtual item in the virtual space.

[0113] Step S301 is similar to step S201, and will not be repeated here.

[0114] In step S302, in response to an interactive operation on any sub-element of the interactive element, the terminal displays the virtual resource obtained based on the interacted sub-element. The virtual resource is the virtual resource corresponding to the interacted sub-element, and the interactive element includes multiple sub-elements.

[0115] In this embodiment of the disclosure, the interactive element includes multiple sub-elements, each sub-element corresponding to a certain value of virtual resources. At least some sub-elements correspond to different values ​​of virtual resources, and some sub-elements may not correspond to any virtual resources. Optionally, the value of the virtual resources of a sub-element is unknown before it is triggered, in order to ensure the randomness of the interaction and thus enhance the fun.

[0116] The interacted sub-element is a sub-element corresponding to a virtual resource among the plurality of sub-elements. If a sub-element not corresponding to a virtual resource is interacted, the interaction with other sub-elements can be continued until a sub-element corresponding to a virtual resource is interacted. If a sub-element not corresponding to a virtual resource is interacted, the display of the interaction element can be directly cancelled, that is, the process of obtaining the virtual resource is ended.

[0117] The forms of the plurality of sub-elements can be set and changed as needed, and the forms of the plurality of sub-elements can be the same or different. The plurality of sub-elements can be static elements or dynamic elements. For example, the plurality of sub-elements are polygons such as triangles and squares, or the plurality of sub-elements are bubbles wrapped with a virtual resource package, or the plurality of sub-elements are a shaking picture, or the plurality of sub-elements are virtual gold and virtual jewelry, and the like, which will not be repeated here.

[0118] In some embodiments, the interaction element is associated with the sending event of the first virtual item, that is, the interaction element is associated with the currently sent virtual item. Optionally, the theme type of the interaction element is the same as the theme type of the first virtual item. For example, the theme type of the first virtual item is a virtual resource, and the theme type of the interaction element is also a virtual resource. For another example, the theme type of the first virtual item is emotion, and the theme type of the interaction element is also emotion.

[0119] In other embodiments, the theme type of the interaction element does not need to be completely the same as the theme type of the first virtual item, but can be matched, for example, the theme type of the first virtual item is emotion, and the theme type of the interaction element can be a travel theme matched with the emotion theme.

[0120] Optionally, the theme type of the interaction element is matched with the sending special effect of the first virtual item, so that when the interaction element is displayed on the basis of the display of the sending special effect, the displayed interaction element is matched with the displayed sending special effect, improving the interface display effect.

[0121] In this embodiment, the theme type of the interaction element is the same as the theme type of the currently sent virtual item, which establishes the association between the interaction element and the virtual item, so that the interaction element has high relevance with the display content of the current virtual space, and then it is beneficial to promote the terminal login object to pay attention to the interaction element and to promote the terminal login object to interact based on the interaction element.

[0122] In other embodiments, the interaction element is associated with certain activities. Optionally, the theme type of the interaction element is the same as the theme type of the target activity. The target activity can be an activity currently promoted in the virtual space, or an activity currently promoted in the target application, for example, the target activity can be a holiday activity in the target application matched with the current date.

[0123] In this embodiment, the theme type of the interactive element is the same as that of the target activity, so that the association between the interactive element and the target activity is established, and the target activity can also be promoted based on the interactive element, and the information transmission degree of the interactive element is improved.

[0124] Optionally, different virtual items are respectively preset with corresponding interactive elements, so that the speed of displaying the interactive element can be improved after sending out any virtual item. In some embodiments, the corresponding interactive element can also be generated for the virtual item in real time or in advance by artificial intelligence (AI), which is not limited here.

[0125] In some embodiments, the process of displaying the interactive element associated with the sending event in the virtual space in response to the sending event of the first virtual item in the virtual space also includes the following implementation: in response to the sending event of the first virtual item in the virtual space, the terminal displays a sending special effect of the first virtual item in the virtual space, and superimposes and displays the interactive element on the sending special effect.

[0126] In this embodiment, when the virtual item is sent in the virtual space, not only the sending special effect of the virtual item is displayed, but also the interactive element is superimposed on the sending special effect, so that the sending special effect is displayed in a new way, which on the one hand improves the display effect of the sending virtual item, and on the other hand further establishes the visual association between the virtual item and the interactive element, improves the information transmission degree, attracts the audience's attention, and further promotes the audience to interact based on the interactive element.

[0127] For example, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an interactive element according to an exemplary embodiment. In the virtual space, a sending special effect is displayed, and an interactive element is displayed on the sending special effect. The interactive element includes a plurality of sub-elements 401.

[0128] In some embodiments, the display duration of the interactive element is a preset duration, which can be set as needed, such as 30 seconds. The terminal can also display a countdown of the preset duration in the virtual space. For example, continuing to refer to Figure 4 , a countdown 402 of the preset duration is also displayed in the virtual space.

[0129] In this embodiment, by displaying the countdown of the interactive element, the terminal login object is given a sense of urgency in time, and the information transmission rate is improved, which is conducive to promoting the terminal login object to interact based on the displayed countdown and the interactive element.

[0130] In some embodiments, the interactive element comprises a plurality of sub-elements, and the virtual resources corresponding to the sub-elements respectively can be applied to different virtual items. Optionally, the method further comprises: displaying, by the terminal, item prompt information on at least part of the sub-elements of the interactive element, wherein the item prompt information on each sub-element is used to prompt the virtual item to which the virtual resource corresponding to the sub-element can be applied.

[0131] In this embodiment, since the virtual resources obtained from different sub-elements can be applied to different virtual items, and the virtual item to which the virtual resource corresponding to each sub-element can be applied is prompted on the sub-element, the information transmission rate is improved, and the terminal is more facilitated to promote the user to interact with the interactive element.

[0132] In some embodiments, the terminal displays, on at least part of the sub-elements of the interactive element, reward prompt information based on the virtual resource corresponding to each sub-element, wherein the reward prompt information on each sub-element is used to prompt the reward that can be obtained after the virtual item corresponding to the sub-element is sent out by the virtual resource. The displayed reward prompt information can comprise at least one of an image and text of the reward. For example, see Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of an interactive element according to an example embodiment. In the diagram, an image of a reward is displayed on a sub-element 501 of the interactive element.

[0133] In some embodiments, the interactive element further comprises a tool sub-element, and in response to an interaction operation on any sub-element of the interactive element, the terminal displays a process of obtaining the virtual resource based on the interacted sub-element, comprising at least one of the following implementation manners.

[0134] (1) In response to a triggering operation on any sub-element, the terminal displays the virtual resource obtained after the tool sub-element interacts with the triggered sub-element.

[0135] In the diagram, the form of the tool sub-element can be set according to the form of the sub-element. For example, the sub-element is a virtual gold nugget, and the tool sub-element can be a virtual shovel; the sub-element is a bubble wrapping a virtual resource package, and the tool sub-element can be a virtual hammer.

[0136] In the diagram, the interaction manner of the tool sub-element on any sub-element is related to the form of the tool sub-element. For example, the tool sub-element is a virtual shovel, and the interaction of the tool sub-element on any sub-element can be that the tool sub-element digs the sub-element. For example, the tool sub-element is a virtual hammer, and the interaction of the tool sub-element on any sub-element can be that the tool sub-element knocks the sub-element.

[0137] Wherein, before triggering any sub-element, the tool sub-element can be displayed or not, if the tool sub-element is displayed, the tool sub-element can be displayed in a preset position or the position of the last triggered sub-element.

[0138] For example, continuing to refer to Figure 4 The interactive element further includes a tool sub-element 403.

[0139] In this embodiment, after triggering any sub-element, the tool sub-element is further used to interact with the sub-element, that is, the virtual resource corresponding to any sub-element is obtained through the tool sub-element, which improves the interestingness of interface display, and further improves the interface display effect, thereby facilitating the terminal login object to interact based on the interactive element.

[0140] (2) In response to the moving operation on the tool sub-element, the terminal moves the tool sub-element to the position of any sub-element, and displays the virtual resource obtained after the tool sub-element interacts with the sub-element at the position.

[0141] Wherein, the moving operation on the tool sub-element is to drag the tool sub-element to the position of any sub-element.

[0142] In this embodiment, the tool sub-element is moved to the position of any sub-element, and the tool sub-element is used to interact with the sub-element to obtain the virtual resource corresponding to the sub-element, so that the tool sub-element can be moved to the position of any interactive element to obtain the virtual resource corresponding to the sub-element, which improves the efficiency and convenience of interaction, and improves the participation of the terminal login object. And the virtual resource corresponding to the sub-element is obtained through the tool sub-element, which improves the interestingness of interface display, and further improves the interface display effect, thereby facilitating the terminal login object to interact based on the interactive element.

[0143] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the process of displaying the virtual resource obtained based on the interactive element in response to the interactive operation on the interactive element is realized through step S302. In this embodiment, after the terminal login object triggers any sub-element in the interactive element corresponding to the virtual resource, the virtual resource obtained based on the sub-element is displayed, so that the terminal login object can obtain the virtual resource one-key, which improves the efficiency and convenience of obtaining the virtual resource, and further facilitates the interaction.

[0144] In other embodiments, in response to the interactive operation on any sub-element in the interactive element, the terminal displays an interactive special effect; in response to the display time length of the interactive element reaching a preset time length, the terminal displays the obtained virtual resource, and the virtual resource is the total virtual resource corresponding to the interacted sub-element.

[0145] The interaction special effect is used to indicate that the virtual resource corresponding to any sub-element has been acquired, such as displaying a broken special effect of any sub-element, or displaying a blooming special effect on any sub-element. Further, the interaction special effect also indicates the value of the virtual resource acquired based on any sub-element.

[0146] In the display process of the interaction element, the plurality of sub-elements in the interaction element can be interacted, and then the total virtual resource of the interacted sub-element can be acquired, that is, the implementation manner enables the virtual resource of the plurality of sub-elements in the interaction element to be acquired, which is beneficial to improving the acquisition sense of the terminal login object, and further beneficial to promoting the terminal login object to continuously interact with the interaction element. Further, the acquired total virtual resource is also displayed, which not only improves the transmission degree of information, but also avoids the waste of display resources caused by respectively displaying the virtual resource based on each sub-element, so that the interface display is more concise, and the interface display effect is improved.

[0147] In some embodiments, the tool sub-element can also acquire the total virtual resource corresponding to a plurality of sub-elements at a time, including at least the following implementation manners: in response to a triggering operation on any sub-element in the interaction element, the terminal displays the total virtual resource corresponding to the plurality of sub-elements after the tool sub-element and the plurality of sub-elements are sequentially interacted; or, in response to a triggering operation on the tool sub-element, the terminal displays the total virtual resource corresponding to the plurality of sub-elements after the tool sub-element and the plurality of sub-elements are sequentially interacted.

[0148] In this embodiment, any sub-element is triggered or the tool sub-element is triggered, and the tool sub-element automatically interacts with the plurality of sub-elements in sequence, and then the total virtual resource of all sub-elements is acquired. In this way, the virtual resource of all sub-elements can be acquired by one operation, without the need to trigger each sub-element respectively, reducing the operation steps and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0149] It should be noted that steps S302 and S303 are both optional implementation manners, and the serial numbers are only for ease of description, and are not used to limit the execution order of the two.

[0150] Optionally, the terminal displays a pop-up window, and the acquired virtual resource is displayed on the pop-up window. For example, referring to Figure 6 , Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of a pop-up window according to an example embodiment. The pop-up window displays the image 601, the name 602, and the value 603 of the acquired virtual resource, and the like.

[0151] In some embodiments, the interaction element can also be cancelled, including at least one of the following implementation manners.

[0152] (1) If no interaction operation on the interactive element is detected within a preset time length, the terminal cancels display of the interactive element.

[0153] In this implementation, the display time length of the interactive element is limited, and the terminal cancels display of the interactive element if the terminal login object does not interact with the interactive element within the time length, thereby avoiding occlusion of the virtual space caused by long-time display of the interactive element, and eliminating the need for the terminal login object to manually cancel display of the interactive element, and further improving human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0154] (2) In response to a triggering operation on the close control of the interactive element, the terminal cancels display of the interactive element.

[0155] In this implementation, the close control of the interactive element is provided, so that the terminal login object can cancel display of the interactive element by one key when the terminal login object is not interested in the interactive element, thereby improving interaction efficiency and convenience.

[0156] For example, continuing to refer to Figure 4 , the virtual space further displays a close control 404 of the interactive element.

[0157] In step S303, the terminal displays a second virtual item, and a value corresponding to the second virtual item is greater than a value of the virtual resource, where the value corresponding to the second virtual item refers to a value of the virtual resource required for sending out the second virtual item.

[0158] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the value corresponding to the second virtual item is greater than the value of the virtual resource, that is, the second virtual item cannot be sent out based on the obtained virtual resource, and additional virtual resource is required to send out the second virtual item.

[0159] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, the value corresponding to the second virtual item is greater than the value of the virtual resource, that is, the second virtual item cannot be sent out based on the obtained virtual resource, and additional virtual resource is required to send out the second virtual item.

[0160] In this embodiment of the present disclosure, since there can be multiple virtual items with a value corresponding to the virtual item greater than the value of the virtual resource, the second virtual item is a virtual item with a minimum difference between the value corresponding to the virtual item and the value of the virtual resource among the virtual items with the value corresponding to the virtual item greater than the value of the virtual resource; or, the second virtual item is a virtual item with the most sending-out times among the virtual items with the value corresponding to the virtual item greater than the value of the virtual resource; or, the second virtual item is a virtual item with the most sending-out times among the virtual items with the value corresponding to the virtual item greater than the value of the virtual resource and that have been sent out in the virtual space.

[0161] In some embodiments, after the terminal displays the interactive element associated with the sending-out event in the virtual space, the terminal further displays resource prompt information, where the resource prompt information includes a second virtual item that shakes, and the resource prompt information is used to prompt interaction with the interactive element to obtain virtual resource for sending out the second virtual item.

[0162] In this embodiment, the resource prompt information is displayed to prompt that the virtual resource can be obtained by interaction, and the virtual item to which the virtual resource can be applied is prompted, the information transmission rate is improved, and the shaking effect is displayed to improve the prompting effect, which is conducive to attracting the audience's attention, and thus conducive to the audience interacting with the interactive element based on the prompt.

[0163] In step S304, in response to the sending operation of the second virtual item, the terminal displays sending of the second virtual item based on the virtual resource and the additional virtual resource in the virtual space, the value of the additional virtual resource being the difference between the value corresponding to the second virtual item and the value of the virtual resource.

[0164] Optionally, the terminal also displays a sending control of the second virtual item, and the sending operation of the second virtual item is a triggering operation of the sending control. Alternatively, the sending operation of the second virtual item refers to a triggering operation of the displayed second virtual item.

[0165] The additional virtual resource is the virtual resource in the balance of the terminal login object, that is, in the case that the obtained virtual resource is insufficient to send the second virtual item, additional virtual resources are directly deducted from the balance of the terminal login object. Then, optionally, displaying sending of the second virtual item based on the obtained virtual resource and the additional virtual resource in the virtual space can be directly displaying sending of the second virtual item, such as only displaying sending special effects, or displaying the process of changing the value of the obtained virtual resource to 0 and then displaying sending of the second virtual item after deducting the additional virtual resource from the balance of the terminal login object.

[0166] In some embodiments, the terminal can also display a plurality of second virtual items, and in response to a selection operation on any second virtual item, display sending of the selected second virtual item based on the virtual resource and the additional virtual resource in the virtual space.

[0167] Optionally, the plurality of second virtual items are virtual items corresponding to values greater than the value of the virtual resource, and the virtual items are sorted in the first preset position according to the difference between the corresponding value and the value of the virtual resource, that is, the smaller the difference, the higher the sorting. Alternatively, the plurality of second virtual items are virtual items corresponding to values greater than the value of the virtual resource, and the virtual items are sorted in the first preset position according to the sending frequency of the terminal login object, that is, the more the sending frequency, the higher the sorting. Alternatively, the plurality of second virtual items are virtual items corresponding to values greater than the value of the virtual resource and having been sent in the virtual space, and the virtual items are sorted in the first preset position according to the sending frequency, that is, the more the sending frequency, the higher the sorting.

[0168] The display of the sent second virtual item can include at least one of displaying special effects of the sent second virtual item, and displaying prompt information of the sent second virtual item.

[0169] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second virtual item is displayed when the obtained virtual resource is displayed, and the second virtual item is a virtual item that can be sent by using the obtained virtual resource. Thus, the second virtual item is displayed at this time, which facilitates the terminal login object to send the second virtual item, and the second virtual item can be sent by one key, without the need to select the virtual item again, thereby reducing the operation steps and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0170] In some embodiments, after the second virtual item is sent, the reward corresponding to the sent second virtual item is also displayed in the virtual space. The reward corresponding to the second virtual item can be set as needed, such as a third virtual resource, an additional special effect, or a photo with an AI of an anchor in the virtual space. The third virtual resource can be a virtual resource used for sending a virtual item, or a virtual resource used for replacing a real item, such as a coupon. Alternatively, the rewards corresponding to different virtual items are set in advance.

[0171] In some embodiments, the terminal displays the reward prompt information while displaying the second virtual item, to prompt that the reward can be obtained after the second virtual item is sent, thereby improving the information transmission degree and facilitating the sending of the second virtual item.

[0172] In some embodiments, after the second virtual item is sent, the interactive element can also be displayed, and the terminal login object interacts based on the interactive element. The process is the same as the above steps, and will not be described herein. The interactive element can be displayed after each sending of a virtual item, or can not be displayed after a preset number of times.

[0173] It should be noted that after the terminal displays the second virtual item, the audience can send the second virtual item or not send the second virtual item. For example, in response to a cancel display operation on the second virtual item, the terminal cancels the display of the second virtual item and the obtained virtual resource, and continues to display the virtual space. Figure 6 For example, continuing to refer to FIG. 6, the terminal also displays a close control 604, which is used to cancel the display of the obtained virtual resource and the second virtual item after being triggered.

[0174] If the second virtual item is not sent out, the virtual resource is stored in the balance of the terminal login object. Further, the terminal can display the storage prompt information while displaying the second virtual item, to prompt that if the virtual resource obtained is not used to send out the virtual item, the virtual resource is stored in the balance.

[0175] Referring to Figure 7 , Figure 7 is a flowchart of an interaction method in a virtual space according to an exemplary embodiment. After a spectator enters a target application, a virtual item is sent out, a sending effect of the virtual item is presented, and then an interaction element is automatically triggered to be displayed. It is determined whether the spectator interacts with the interaction element. If not, after the sending effect ends, the normal display state of the virtual space is returned. If yes, after the spectator completes the interaction with the interaction element and a countdown ends, total virtual resources obtained based on the interaction element and a second virtual item are displayed.

[0176] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when a virtual item is sent out in a virtual space, the sent virtual item is displayed in the virtual space, and an interaction element is further displayed. Interaction with the interaction element can obtain virtual resources, which can be used to send out a virtual item in the virtual space. This method prolongs the interaction link when a virtual item is sent out in the virtual space, and helps to improve the interaction probability in the virtual space. Moreover, since interaction with the interaction element can obtain virtual resources, it helps to promote the spectator to interact with the interaction element, and further helps to improve the interaction probability in the virtual space. Moreover, since the obtained virtual resources are used to send out a virtual item, it further helps to promote the spectator to send out a virtual item based on the obtained virtual resources, so as to improve the probability of sending out a virtual item in the virtual space, and further improve the interaction probability in the virtual space, i.e., this method helps to promote the spectator to interact in the virtual space. When the obtained virtual resources are displayed, a second virtual item is also displayed. The second virtual item is a virtual item that can be sent out using the obtained virtual resources. Therefore, displaying the second virtual item helps to promote the terminal login object to send out the second virtual item, and the second virtual item can be sent out by one key, without the need to select a virtual item again, reducing the operation steps and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0177] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the interaction method in the virtual space is introduced, Figure 3 Figure 3 The virtual resource obtained based on the interaction element is used to send out a virtual item with a corresponding value greater than the value of the virtual resource. Based on the following embodiments, the virtual resource obtained based on the interaction element is used to send out a virtual resource with a corresponding value not greater than the value of the virtual resource. Referring to Figure 8 , Figure 8 ​is a flowchart of another method of interaction in a virtual space according to an example embodiment, which is performed by a terminal, and includes the following steps.

[0178] In step S801, in response to a gifting event for a first virtual item occurring in a virtual space, the terminal displays an interaction element associated with the gifting event in the virtual space, the interaction element being used to obtain a virtual resource capable of gifting a second virtual item in the virtual space.

[0179] In step S802, in response to an interaction operation on any sub-element of the interaction element, the terminal displays that the virtual resource is obtained based on the interacted sub-element, the virtual resource being a virtual resource corresponding to the interacted sub-element, the interaction element including a plurality of sub-elements.

[0180] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, steps S801-S802 are the same as steps S301-S302, and will not be described here.

[0181] In step S803, the terminal displays a third virtual item, a value corresponding to the third virtual item being not greater than a value of the virtual resource, the value corresponding to the third virtual item being a value of the virtual resource required for gifting the third virtual item.

[0182] The value corresponding to the third virtual item is not greater than the value of the virtual resource, that is, the third virtual item can be gifted only by using the obtained virtual resource, without additional virtual resource.

[0183] The terminal displaying the third virtual item includes displaying at least one of an image, a name, and a corresponding value of the third virtual item.

[0184] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since there can be multiple virtual items with a value corresponding to the virtual resource, the third virtual item is a virtual item with a value corresponding to the virtual resource, a difference between the value corresponding to the virtual item and the value of the virtual resource being the smallest; or, the third virtual item is a virtual item with a value corresponding to the virtual resource, a gifting frequency of the terminal login object being the highest; or, the third virtual item is a virtual item with a value corresponding to the virtual resource, a gifting frequency of the virtual item being the highest.

[0185] In step S804, in response to a gifting operation on the third virtual item, the terminal displays gifting the third virtual item based on the virtual resource in the virtual space.

[0186] Optionally, the terminal also displays a gifting control of the third virtual item, the gifting operation on the third virtual item being a trigger operation on the gifting control. Alternatively, the gifting operation on the third virtual item refers to a trigger operation on the displayed third virtual item.

[0187] Optionally, when the third virtual item is displayed in the virtual space, if the value corresponding to the third virtual item is the same as the value of the virtual resource, the process of changing the value of the virtual resource to 0 is displayed based on the display of the sending special effect of the third virtual item. If the value corresponding to the third virtual item is less than the value of the virtual resource, the value of the virtual resource is deducted by the value corresponding to the third virtual item based on the display of the sending special effect of the third virtual item. Further, the process of storing the remaining value of the virtual resource to the balance of the terminal login object is also displayed.

[0188] Further, after sending the third virtual item, the interactive element can be displayed again, and then the interaction based on the interactive element is performed. The process is the same as the above process, and will not be repeated here.

[0189] In some embodiments, after sending the third virtual item, the corresponding reward of the sent third virtual item is also displayed in the virtual space. The process is the same as the process of displaying the corresponding reward of the second virtual item, and will not be repeated here.

[0190] It should be noted that after the terminal displays the third virtual item, the audience can send the third virtual item or not. For example, in response to the cancel display operation of the third virtual item, the terminal cancels the display of the third virtual item and the obtained virtual resource.

[0191] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the virtual resource, the third virtual item is also displayed, and the value corresponding to the third virtual item is not greater than the value of the virtual resource. That is, the third virtual item is a virtual item that can be sent only by using the obtained virtual resource, without the terminal login object paying additional virtual resource. Therefore, the third virtual item is displayed at this time, which is beneficial to promote the terminal login object to send the third virtual item, and the third virtual item can be sent by one key without the terminal login object entering the item list for selection, reducing the operation steps and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency.

[0192] In some embodiments, the terminal displays a plurality of third virtual items, and the value corresponding to each third virtual item is not greater than the value of the virtual resource. The value corresponding to the third virtual item refers to the value of the virtual resource required to send the third virtual item. In response to the selection operation of any third virtual item, the terminal displays the sending of the selected third virtual item based on the virtual resource in the virtual space.

[0193] Optionally, the third virtual items are virtual items whose corresponding values are not greater than the value of the virtual resource and are ranked in front of virtual items whose corresponding values are not greater than the value of the virtual resource and whose difference from the value of the virtual resource is less than a preset number of positions. Alternatively, the third virtual items are virtual items whose sending-out times of the terminal login object are ranked in front of virtual items whose sending-out times of the terminal login object are not greater than the value of the virtual resource and are more than a preset number of positions. Alternatively, the third virtual items are virtual items whose sending-out times in the virtual space are ranked in front of virtual items whose corresponding values are not greater than the value of the virtual resource and whose sending-out times in the virtual space are more than a preset number of positions.

[0194] The specific process of displaying the third virtual gifts is the same as the process of displaying a single third virtual gift, and will not be described here.

[0195] The selection operation on any third virtual item can be a click operation, a long press operation, or the like. Alternatively, the terminal also displays sending-out controls of the third virtual items, and the selection operation on any third virtual item is a triggering operation on the sending-out control of the third virtual item.

[0196] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the virtual resource, a plurality of third virtual items are displayed, and the corresponding value of each third virtual item is not greater than the value of the virtual resource, that is, each third virtual item is a virtual item that can be sent out only by using the obtained virtual resource, and the terminal login object does not need to pay additional virtual resources, so that the third virtual items are displayed at this time, which is conducive to promoting the audience to send out the third virtual items. Directly displaying the third virtual items, the terminal login object can send out the third virtual items by one key, without the need to jump to the item list to find virtual items whose corresponding values are not greater than the value of the virtual resource, thereby reducing the operation steps and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency. Moreover, displaying a plurality of third virtual items improves the selectability of the terminal login object, which is further conducive to promoting the terminal login object to select the third virtual items to send out, that is, further conducive to improving the interaction probability in the virtual space.

[0197] In some embodiments, the terminal displays a plurality of item combinations, and the total value of the virtual items in each item combination is not greater than the value of the obtained virtual resource. The terminal displays, in the virtual space, the virtual items in the selected item combination based on the virtual resource in response to a selection operation on any item combination.

[0198] The total value of the virtual items in each item combination is not greater than the value of the virtual resource, that is, the virtual items in the item combination can be sent out only by using the obtained virtual resource, without the need for additional virtual resources.

[0199] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, each item combination includes a plurality of virtual items, and the plurality of virtual items in each item combination can be set as needed. The plurality of virtual items in each item combination can be completely the same, completely different, or partially the same, which is not specifically limited here. Displaying each item combination includes displaying at least one of the respective images, names, and total values of the plurality of virtual items in the item combination. For example, continuing to refer to Figure 6 , the terminal displays the item combination 605 composed of a plurality of identical virtual items while displaying the virtual resources.

[0200] The selection operation on any item combination can be a click operation, a long press operation, or the like on the item combination. Alternatively, the terminal also displays a sending control for each item combination, and the selection operation on any item combination is a triggering operation on the sending control of the item combination.

[0201] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after obtaining the virtual resources, a plurality of item combinations are displayed, and the total value corresponding to each item combination is not greater than the value of the virtual resources, that is, the virtual items in each item combination are items that can be sent using only the virtual resources, without the terminal login object having to additionally pay virtual resources, and thus displaying the item combination at this time facilitates the terminal login object to send the virtual items in the item combination. Directly displaying various item combinations, the terminal login object can send the virtual items in the item combination with one key, without the terminal login object having to search for and combine virtual items, reducing the operation steps and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency. Moreover, displaying a plurality of item combinations improves the selectability of the terminal login object, further facilitating the terminal login object to select an item combination to send, that is, further facilitating the terminal login object to interact in the virtual space.

[0202] In this embodiment, an example of displaying a plurality of item combinations is described, and only one item combination can also be displayed, so that the terminal login object does not need to select again. For example, the displayed one item combination includes an item combination composed of the virtual items that the terminal login object sends the most number of times.

[0203] For example, referring to Figure 9 , Figure 9is a flowchart of an interaction method in a virtual space provided by an embodiment of the present application. Wherein, taking the virtual space as a live room as an example, after the terminal login object enters the live room, the virtual object is sent out in the live room, the sending effect of the virtual object is displayed, the interaction element is displayed on the basis of the sending effect, the audience can directly cancel the display of the interaction element, or can interact with the interaction element. If the interaction element is interacted, the total virtual resource and the second virtual object obtained are displayed after the display countdown of the interaction element ends, and the second virtual object can be directly sent out.

[0204] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, when the virtual object is sent out in the virtual space, the interaction element is displayed on the basis of the sent virtual object in the virtual space, and the virtual resource can be obtained by interacting with the interaction element, which can be used to send the virtual object in the virtual space. This method prolongs the interaction link when sending the virtual object in the virtual space, which helps to improve the interaction probability in the virtual space. Moreover, since the virtual resource can be obtained by interacting with the interaction element, it is conducive to promoting the audience to interact with the interaction element, which further helps to improve the interaction probability in the virtual space. Moreover, since the virtual resource is used to send the virtual object, it is further conducive to promoting the audience to send the virtual object based on the obtained virtual resource, so as to improve the probability of sending the virtual object in the virtual space, which can further improve the interaction probability in the virtual space, that is, the method is conducive to promoting the audience to interact in the virtual space. Moreover, after obtaining the virtual resource, the third virtual object is also displayed, and the value corresponding to the third virtual object is not greater than the value of the virtual resource, that is, the third virtual object is a virtual object that can be sent out only by using the virtual resource, without the terminal login object paying additional virtual resource, so that the third virtual object is displayed at this time, which is conducive to promoting the audience to send the third virtual object, and the third virtual object can be sent out by one key, without the terminal login object entering the item list for selection, reducing the operation steps and improving the human-computer interaction efficiency.
