Additionally, the terms "a" and "an" are used in the singular sense and are intended to include the plural forms as well.

[0050] According to an aspect of the embodiments of the present application, there is provided an interaction method between virtual characters, which can be applied to, but not limited to, an interaction system between virtual characters in a hardware environment as shown in Figure 1 , wherein the interaction system between virtual characters can include, but not limited to, a terminal device 102, a network 104, a server 106, a database 108 and a terminal device 110. The terminal device 102 and the terminal device 110 respectively run a target client (as shown in Figure 1 , for example, the target client is a client that can provide a role interaction function between virtual characters). The terminal device 102 and the terminal device 110 respectively include a human-computer interaction screen, a processor and a memory. The human-computer interaction screen is used to display a virtual interaction scene (as shown in Figure 1 , for example, the virtual interaction scene), and also used to provide a human-computer interaction interface to receive a human-computer interaction operation for controlling a virtual character in the virtual interaction scene, which will complete a game task set in the virtual scene. The processor is used to generate an interaction instruction in response to the human-computer interaction operation, and send the interaction instruction to the server. The memory is used to store relevant attribute data, such as object attribute information of the controlled virtual character, and virtual prop attribute information held, etc. The attribute information here can include, but not limited to, information for identifying its identity and current location, etc. Among them, the terminal device 102 runs a client for controlling a first virtual character; optionally, in the case that a second virtual character is a virtual character controlled by the terminal device, the terminal device 110 runs a client for controlling the second virtual character. The second virtual character and the first virtual character here can be controlled to perform certain virtual social events in the target application, such as friend adding event, greeting event, task invitation event, etc.

[0051] Further, the server 106 comprises a processing engine for performing storage or read operations on the database 108. Specifically, the processing engine reads the respective virtual scene information and the operation information performed by each virtual avatar from the database 108. It is assumed that Figure 1 The terminal device 102 is used to control the current virtual avatar, and the terminal device 110 is used to control a second virtual avatar having a virtual social relationship with the first virtual avatar in the same application. The specific process of the embodiment is as follows: steps S102 to S106 are performed by the terminal device 102 to display the first virtual avatar in a virtual shooting interface, wherein the first virtual avatar is a virtual avatar associated with a current account; in response to a triggering operation on an avatar adding control in the virtual shooting interface, at least one avatar identifier is displayed in the virtual shooting interface; in a case where a target avatar identifier is determined from the at least one avatar identifier, a second virtual avatar is requested; then, step S108 is performed, and the terminal device 102 requests the second virtual avatar from the server 106 through the network 104; the server 106 performs S110, and returns the second virtual avatar to the terminal device 102 through the network 104;

[0052] Then, the terminal device 102 performs S112 to S116 to display the second virtual avatar indicated by the target avatar identifier in the virtual social scene, wherein the target avatar identifier is used to indicate a virtual avatar associated with a target account in an offline state; in response to a triggering operation on a shooting control in the virtual shooting interface, a target media resource is generated according to the virtual social scene, and the first virtual avatar and the second virtual avatar in the virtual social scene; and the target media resource is sent to the terminal 110 through the network 104.

[0053] It can be understood that in a case where the target account is logged in the client running in the terminal 110, the received target media resource can be displayed through the client.

[0054] Optionally, in the embodiment, the terminal device can be a terminal device configured with a target client, and can include but is not limited to at least one of a mobile phone (such as an Android mobile phone, an iOS mobile phone, etc.), a notebook computer, a tablet computer, a palm computer, a MID (Mobile Internet Device), a PAD, a desktop computer, a smart television, etc. The target client can be a video client, an instant messaging client, a browser client, an education client, etc. supporting a shooting game task. The network can include but is not limited to a wired network including a local area network, a metropolitan area network, and a wide area network, and a wireless network including Bluetooth, WIFI, and other wireless communication networks. The server can be a single server, a server cluster composed of multiple servers, or a cloud server. The above is only an example, and the embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0055] Optionally, in the embodiment, the interaction method between the virtual images can be applied in, but is not limited to, a game terminal application (Application, APP for short) for completing a predetermined social game task in a virtual scene, such as a virtual confrontation game application in a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA for short) application. The social game task can be, but is not limited to, a game task completed by a virtual image in a virtual scene through virtual social interaction between the virtual image controlled by a current player and a virtual image controlled by another player through human-computer interaction between virtual images. The interaction method between the virtual images can also be applied in a Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG for short) terminal application. In such a game, a current player can complete a social game task in the game in a first-person view of a virtual image through role-playing, for example, completing a game task together with other virtual images, etc. The social game task can be, but is not limited to, running in the form of a plug-in or an applet in an application (such as a non-independently running game APP) or running in a game engine in an application (such as an independently running game APP). The type of the game application can include but is not limited to at least one of a Two Dimension (2D for short) game application, a Three Dimension (3D for short) game application, a Virtual Reality (VR for short) game application, an Augmented Reality (AR for short) game application, and a Mixed Reality (MR for short) game application. The above is only an example, and the embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0056] Through the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, in the case that the target account is in an offline state, the interaction operation between the first virtual image associated with the current account and the second virtual image associated with the target account can be triggered, and then the interaction operation between the first virtual image and the second virtual image can be triggered actively without the target account being online or sending prompt information to the target account, so that the first virtual image and the second virtual image generate the target media resource as the interaction product based on the virtual social scene.

[0057] Through the above-mentioned embodiments, in the case that the virtual shooting interface is triggered to be displayed, the first virtual image can be controlled to interact with the virtual image associated with the other account based on the selection operation of the image identifier, and the target media resource can be generated as the operation product of the shooting interaction operation, which simplifies the interaction operation process between virtual images, and further solves the technical problem that the existing interaction method is relatively complicated.

[0058] As an optional embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The above-mentioned interaction method between virtual images includes the following steps:

[0059] S202, displaying the first virtual image in a virtual social scene in a virtual shooting interface, wherein the first virtual image is a virtual image associated with a current account;

[0060] S204, in response to the triggering operation of the image adding control in the virtual shooting interface, displaying at least one image identifier in the virtual shooting interface;

[0061] S206, in the case that a target image identifier is determined from the at least one image identifier, displaying the second virtual image indicated by the target image identifier in the virtual social scene, wherein the target image identifier is used to indicate the virtual image associated with the target account in an offline state;

[0062] S208, in response to the triggering operation of the shooting control in the virtual shooting interface, generating a target media resource according to the virtual social scene and the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the virtual social scene.

[0063] It should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments can be applied to an application program which can provide an object account to control a virtual image to interact, for example, a game application, and players can control virtual images to perform some social interactions or social tasks in the virtual social scene of the above-mentioned game application.

[0064] The game application can also be a game application based on a meta universe, for example, by mapping objects in a real space to a virtual space, mapping relationships between objects in the real space to relationships between virtual avatars in the virtual space, and controlling virtual avatars in the virtual space through objects in the real space to implement the virtual social activity or virtual social application. The virtual social relationship can include, but is not limited to, a virtual friend relationship, a virtual teammate relationship, a virtual colleague relationship, a virtual neighbor relationship, a nearby person relationship, etc. In this embodiment, the specific type of virtual social relationship is not limited.

[0065] For example, Xiao Wang and Xiao Zhang in reality have a colleague relationship, and thus in the meta universe type game, a first virtual avatar controlled by Xiao Wang and a second virtual avatar controlled by Xiao Zhang can have a virtual colleague relationship. For another example, Liu and Jiang in reality have a couple relationship, and thus in the meta universe type game, a first virtual avatar controlled by Liu and a second virtual avatar controlled by Jiang can have a virtual couple relationship.

[0066] In a specific scenario, the embodiment can also be an implementation of mapping object accounts in an instant messaging application to virtual avatars in a virtual space, and mapping account relationships between object accounts in the instant messaging application to role relationships between virtual avatars in a virtual game space. Further, in this scenario, the object account (player) controls the virtual avatar to perform virtual interaction requests and virtual interaction operations between avatars, which can be further mapped from the virtual space to real interaction requests and real interaction operations in the real space.

[0067] The following two optional technical scenarios of the above embodiment are described in conjunction with two examples. In the first scenario, the above embodiment can be applied to a mixed reality (MR) game application. In this application, the player enters the game application by controlling the mixed reality device and appears in the virtual space in the form of a virtual avatar and performs virtual interaction in the virtual space. In the above mixed reality game, the first player logs in through the current account to control the first virtual avatar in the virtual space to perform a virtual social task. In the virtual space, the first player can trigger an avatar adding control in the virtual shooting interface, determine a target avatar identifier from the displayed avatar identifiers, and add a second virtual avatar indicated by the target avatar identifier in the virtual social scene in the virtual space, and complete a virtual photo interaction with the second virtual avatar and the first virtual avatar according to the display.

[0068] In the second scenario, the above implementation can be applied to a sub-game application within an instant messaging application. In this game application, with authorization from the target account, virtual avatars corresponding to each target account can be created within the virtual social scene of the virtual game application. The display style of these virtual avatars can be determined based on the configuration operations of each target account. When a player triggers a shooting operation in the virtual social scene via touch, in response to the selection of a target avatar identifier, a second virtual avatar indicated by the target avatar identifier is displayed in the virtual social scene of the virtual shooting interface, and a virtual group photo interaction between the first and second virtual avatars is completed according to the virtual shooting interface. In this scenario, if a target media resource (virtual group photo) is generated based on the virtual group photo interaction, the virtual group photo can also be sent to the target account through the chat window between the current account and the target account.

[0069] In step S202 above, the virtual social scene can be a virtual subspace within the virtual social space, such as a virtual beach scene, a virtual courtyard scene, or a virtual scenic spot scene. In this embodiment, the specific type of the virtual social scene is not limited.

[0070] Furthermore, the aforementioned virtual shooting interface can be a virtual interface simulating the image acquisition interface of a virtual shooting prop. The triggering method of the aforementioned virtual shooting interface can correspond to the configuration method of the aforementioned virtual shooting prop. In one optional approach, when the aforementioned virtual shooting prop is configured by default on the first virtual avatar, the displayed virtual shooting interface can be switched in response to a trigger operation on the target control. In another optional approach, the aforementioned virtual shooting interface can also be a virtual shooting interface displayed based on the scene image captured by the aforementioned virtual shooting prop, in response to a trigger operation on the virtual shooting prop, when a virtual shooting prop is obtained in the aforementioned virtual social space. In this embodiment, the triggering method of the aforementioned virtual shooting interface is not limited.

[0071] In this embodiment, the virtual shooting interface can simultaneously display virtual operation controls and the captured virtual social scene. The virtual operation controls can be used to trigger various sub-steps in the virtual shooting operation, thereby triggering the update and display of the virtual shooting interface.

[0072] The following combination Figure 3 An optional virtual shooting interface is described. For example... Figure 3As shown, the virtual shooting interface 300 displays a virtual social scene 302, and a plurality of virtual operation controls in the object display area 312. The virtual social scene 302 includes a first virtual image 304 associated with the current account, which is located in the virtual viewfinder in the virtual shooting interface 300, indicating that the current first virtual image 304 is within the focusing range of the virtual shooting prop. The object display area 312 displays an exit control 306 for exiting the virtual shooting operation, a shooting control 308 for triggering the virtual shooting operation, and an image adding control 310 for selecting an image identifier. Understandably, in response to the triggering operation of the exit control 306, the current virtual shooting interface 300 can be exited, and the virtual social scene 302 and the first virtual image 304 in the virtual social scene 302 are displayed in the display interface, and the display of the plurality of virtual operation controls in the object display area 312 is cancelled; in response to the triggering operation of the shooting control 308, a virtual image generated according to the virtual social scene 302 and the first virtual image 304 can be obtained.

[0073] Further, in the step S204, in response to the triggering operation of the image adding control in the virtual shooting interface, an image identifier for indicating a virtual image can be displayed in the interface. It should be noted that the virtual image can be a virtual image associated with an object account having a target social relationship with the current account, and the target social relationship can include one or more of a virtual friend relationship, a virtual teammate relationship, a virtual colleague relationship, a virtual neighbor relationship, and a nearby person relationship.

[0074] In another optional implementation, in the case that the current account does not have an object account corresponding to the target social relationship, a relationship prompt information can be displayed in the display interface to indicate that no image identifier can be added. For example, in the case that the friend account list of the current account is empty, a “no friend image can be added” prompt information can be displayed in the interface; for another example, in the case that the friend account of the current account does not include an object account having a “close friend” relationship with the current account, a “no close friend image can be added” prompt information can be displayed in the interface.

[0075] Further, in the case that it is determined according to the account list of the current account that there is an image identifier that can be displayed, the image identifier that can be selected can be displayed in the virtual shooting interface, and a target image identifier for indicating a target virtual image can be determined according to the displayed image identifier. The display mode of the image identifier can include but is not limited to displaying at least one image identifier in an identifier list; or different image identifiers can be respectively displayed in different display areas in the virtual shooting interface.

[0076] In the case that the at least one image identifier is displayed in the virtual shooting interface, before the step S206, the target image identifier can be determined from the at least one image identifier in the virtual shooting interface in response to a selection operation, and then the second virtual image indicated by the target image identifier is determined as the interactive virtual image.

[0077] The specific manner of the selection operation for determining the target image identifier from the at least one image identifier can correspond to the display manner of the image identifier. For example, in the case that only the list of identifiers is displayed in the virtual shooting interface, the target image identifier can be determined in response to a click operation on the image identifier in the list of identifiers; in the case that the image identifier and the corresponding virtual image are simultaneously displayed in the image interaction page, the corresponding target image identifier can be determined in response to a click operation on the virtual image. In the embodiment, the determination method of the target image identifier is not limited.

[0078] Further, in the step S206, the target image identifier is the image identifier corresponding to the second virtual image associated with the target account in the offline state, and then in the case that the target image identifier is selected, the second virtual image can be displayed in the virtual social scene in the virtual shooting interface, so as to realize the synchronous display of the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the virtual shooting interface.

[0079] Further, according to the step S208, in response to the triggering operation on the shooting control, the target media resource is generated according to the virtual social scene and the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the virtual social scene.

[0080] It can be understood that the target media resource can include resource information for indicating the virtual social scene, and the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the scene.

[0081] In an optional embodiment, the target media resource is generated according to the virtual social scene and the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the virtual social scene in response to the triggering operation on the shooting control in the virtual shooting interface, and at least includes one of the following:

[0082] Method one, generating an event description text according to the virtual social scene and the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the virtual social scene;

[0083] Method two, generating a target image according to the virtual social scene and the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the virtual social scene;

[0084] The third mode is generating a target video according to the virtual social scene, and a plurality of frames of virtual images collected for the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the virtual social scene.

[0085] It can be understood that in the above target media resource, different types of media resources involved in the above three modes can be specifically included.

[0086] In the first mode, an event description text for describing the virtual social scene and the virtual image in the scene can be included in the target media resource. The event description text can include a scene identifier of the virtual social scene, an image identifier of the first virtual image, an image identifier of the second virtual image, time information, and the like. In an optional mode, the event description text can be obtained by combining one or more of the above information. In another optional embodiment, a generative neural network model can be inputted with the scene image in the virtual social scene, and the event description text can be determined according to the description information output by the generative neural network model.

[0087] In the second mode, the virtual social scene and the virtual image in the scene displayed in the virtual shooting interface can be determined as a target image, and the target image can be used as the target media resource.

[0088] In the third mode, a plurality of continuous frames of images displayed in the virtual shooting interface can be collected, and a target video can be generated according to the virtual social scene and the virtual image in the scene, and the target video can be used as the target media resource.

[0089] It can be understood that the above three modes can also be combined in any manner. For example, the target media resource can be generated according to the event description text and the target image, and the target media resource obtained in this way can include the target image and the event description text displayed in the target image. For another example, the target media resource can be generated according to the event description text and the target video. Specifically, different text sentences in the event description text can be displayed in different video frames in the target video. For example, the first sentence in the event description text can be displayed in the first frame to the 50th frame of the video, and the second sentence in the event description text can be displayed in the 51st frame to the 100th frame of the video.

[0090] The above combination modes are only exemplary and are not limited in the specific embodiments.

[0091] Through the above implementation method, when the virtual shooting interface is triggered and displayed, based on the selection operation of the image icon, it is possible to control the first virtual image to interact with the virtual images associated with other accounts even when other accounts are not online, and generate target media resources as the operation product of the shooting interaction operation. This simplifies the interaction operation process between virtual images and solves the technical problem that the interaction operation of the existing interaction method is relatively cumbersome.

[0092] In an optional implementation, after the above-mentioned response to the triggering operation of adding a control to the image in the virtual shooting interface, and displaying at least one image icon in the virtual shooting interface, further includes:

[0093] S1, when at least one icon is displayed in the virtual shooting interface, in response to a sliding operation triggered in the virtual shooting interface, the operation distance of the sliding operation is obtained;

[0094] S2, determine the current display position of at least one visual identifier based on the operation distance;

[0095] S3, determine the image logo displayed at the target display location as the target image logo.

[0096] It is understood that in this embodiment, when multiple character icons are displayed in the virtual shooting interface, the display position of each character icon can be updated by sliding, and the character icon at the target position can be determined as the target character icon.

[0097] The following combination Figure 4 This section explains a specific method for identifying a target visual identity. Figure 4 In the virtual shooting interface shown in Figure (a), multiple image icons can be displayed horizontally in the object display area 406, and the image icon located in the center of the object display area 406 is identified as the target image icon. Figure 4 In the virtual shooting interface shown in Figure (a), multiple avatars, including "Little A," "Little B," and "Little C," are displayed horizontally in the object display area 406. The virtual avatar currently located in the center of the object display area 406 is "Little A," therefore "Little A" can be identified as the target avatar, indicating that the virtual avatar currently interacting with the first virtual avatar 400 in a group photo is "Little A." Subsequently, in the virtual social scene displayed in the virtual shooting interface, the first virtual avatar 400 and the second virtual avatar 402 indicated by the target avatar are displayed.

[0098] In response to horizontal swipe gestures triggered in the virtual shooting interface (such as...) Figure 4As shown in (a) of FIG. 1, specifically, a sliding operation pointing to the right side of the page, the display positions of the respective avatar identifiers can be updated according to the operation distance of the sliding operation, and then the interface displays, for example, Figure 4 As shown in (b) of FIG. 1, that is, the plurality of virtual avatars including "Little A", "Little B", and "Little C" are sequentially moved to the right side. Since the avatar identifier currently located at the central position of the object display area is "Little D", "Little D" can be determined as the target avatar identifier, indicating that the currently determined virtual avatar performing the photo-taking interaction operation with the first virtual avatar is "Little D". Further, in the virtual social scene displayed in the virtual shooting interface, the first virtual avatar and the third virtual avatar 404 indicated by the target avatar identifier are displayed.

[0099] In another optional implementation, after displaying the at least one avatar identifier in the virtual shooting interface in response to the triggering operation of the avatar adding control in the virtual shooting interface, the method further includes:

[0100] S1, in response to the dragging operation on the candidate avatar identifier, obtaining a current operation position of the dragging operation;

[0101] S2, displaying the candidate avatar identifier at the current operation position according to the dragging operation;

[0102] S3, in a case where the operation end point of the dragging operation is located at the first release area, determining the candidate avatar identifier as the target avatar identifier.

[0103] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the target avatar identifier can be determined from the at least one avatar identifier by dragging the candidate avatar identifier to the first release area. Further, the target avatar identifier is quickly determined from the plurality of avatar identifiers through the dragging operation on the avatar identifier, which improves the efficiency of the determination process of the target avatar identifier.

[0104] Further, in an optional implementation, before obtaining the current operation position of the dragging operation in response to the dragging operation on the target avatar identifier, the method further includes at least one of the following:

[0105] Method one, displaying first operation prompt information for indicating the first release area in the virtual shooting interface;

[0106] Method two, displaying second operation prompt information for indicating the dragging operation in the virtual shooting interface, wherein the second operation prompt information includes a reference dragging track and a reference dragging icon dynamically displayed according to the reference dragging track;

[0107] Method three, displaying third operation prompt information for indicating a candidate display position in the virtual shooting interface, wherein the candidate display position is a display position at which the second virtual avatar is displayed in the virtual social scene.

[0108] It is understood that in this embodiment, multiple elements can be displayed in the virtual shooting interface to provide prompts for the above-mentioned dragging operation. Specifically, this may include a first operation prompt message indicating the first release area, a second operation prompt message indicating the dragging operation, and a third operation prompt message indicating the candidate display position. It should be noted that the above prompt messages can be arbitrarily combined and displayed without affecting the display effect, and this embodiment does not limit the specific combination of the above operation prompt messages.

[0109] Through the above-described embodiments of this application, the operation mode of the dragging operation can be prompted by combining the first operation prompt information for indicating the first release area, the second operation prompt information for indicating the dragging operation, and the third operation prompt information for indicating the candidate display position in the virtual shooting interface, thereby improving the prompting efficiency of the dragging operation.

[0110] In one optional implementation, the above-mentioned response to a triggering operation of adding a control to the image in the virtual shooting interface, displaying at least one image icon in the virtual shooting interface, includes:

[0111] S1, in response to the triggering operation of the image addition control in the virtual shooting interface, at least one operation control is de-displayed in the object display area of ​​the virtual shooting interface, wherein the at least one operation control includes an image addition control and a shooting control;

[0112] S2, Display at least one image logo in the object display area according to the target order.

[0113] It is understood that in this embodiment, when a trigger operation to add controls to the image in the virtual shooting interface is detected, the operation controls in the object display area can be hidden or displayed, while at least one image icon can be displayed in the object display area in the target order, thereby improving the display efficiency in the virtual shooting interface.

[0114] The following combination Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 A specific implementation method will be described.

[0115] like Figure 3 In the virtual shooting interface 300 shown, in response to a trigger operation on the image addition control 310 in the object display area 312, the virtual shooting interface can switch to display as follows: Figure 5 As shown. First, in Figure 5In the object display area 500, the display of various operation controls is cancelled, and a plurality of avatar identifiers including a first avatar identifier 502 and a second avatar identifier 504 are displayed in the object display area 500. The first avatar identifier 502 is displayed in a first style (transparent color) to indicate that the first object account associated with the first virtual avatar identifier is in an online state, and the second avatar identifier 504 is displayed in a second style (grayscale) to indicate that the second object account associated with the second virtual avatar identifier is in an offline state. In addition, in the object display area 500, a plurality of types of operation prompt information are further displayed. The operation prompt information includes a reference drag icon 514 for prompting a drag operation, a reference drag track 512 for prompting a drag direction of the drag operation, a first release area 508 for prompting a corresponding position of a drag end point, and a candidate display position 510 for prompting a display position of a target virtual avatar to be selected in the image. Optionally, the reference drag icon 514 can also dynamically slide in the direction indicated by the reference drag track 512 to indicate that the target avatar identifier can be determined through the drag operation. Figure 5 The virtual shooting interface shown in FIG. 6 further displays a plurality of types of operation prompt information. The operation prompt information includes a reference drag icon 514 for prompting a drag operation, a reference drag track 512 for prompting a drag direction of the drag operation, a first release area 508 for prompting a corresponding position of a drag end point, and a candidate display position 510 for prompting a display position of a target virtual avatar to be selected in the image. Optionally, the reference drag icon 514 can also dynamically slide in the direction indicated by the reference drag track 512 to indicate that the target avatar identifier can be determined through the drag operation.

[0116] Further, in a case where a drag operation on the second avatar identifier 504 in the object display area 500 is detected, the second avatar identifier 504 is determined as a candidate avatar identifier, and the interface is switched to display a virtual shooting interface as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 5 Further, in a case where a drag operation on the second avatar identifier 504 in the object display area 500 is detected, the second avatar identifier 504 is determined as a candidate avatar identifier, and the interface is switched to display a virtual shooting interface as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 6 Further, in a case where a drag operation on the second avatar identifier 504 in the object display area 500 is detected, the second avatar identifier 504 is determined as a candidate avatar identifier, and the interface is switched to display a virtual shooting interface as shown in FIG. 6. Figure 7 Further, in a case where a drag operation on the second avatar identifier 504 in the object display area 500 is detected, the second avatar identifier 504 is determined as a candidate avatar identifier, and the interface is switched to display a virtual shooting interface as shown in FIG. 6.

[0117] In the above manner of the present application, the target avatar identifier can be determined from at least one avatar identifier by dragging the candidate avatar identifier to the first release area. Further, the target avatar identifier can be quickly determined from a plurality of avatar identifiers through the drag operation on the avatar identifier, and the efficiency of the determination process of the target avatar identifier is improved.

[0118] In an optional embodiment, before the target media resource is generated according to the virtual social scene and the first virtual avatar and the second virtual avatar in the virtual social scene, the method further includes:

[0119] S1, in response to a triggering operation on a return control in the object display area, at least one avatar identifier in the object display area is cancelled.

[0120] S2, the avatar adding control and the shooting control are restored to be displayed in the object display area.

[0121] It can be understood that, in the above embodiment, in order to conveniently and quickly select the target image identifier and improve the display efficiency of the virtual shooting interface, the operation control is replaced by at least one image identifier in the object display area. In the present embodiment, in order to further complete the subsequent operation, the display of the image identifier in the object display area can be cancelled and the display of the operation control is restored according to the triggering operation of the return control displayed in the object display area.

[0122] The above embodiment is described below in combination with Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in Figure 7 , in the case that the second virtual image 702 is displayed in the virtual shooting interface according to the selected target image identifier, the virtual shooting interface can be switched in response to the triggering operation of the return control 704 in the object display area, as shown in Figure 8 In the object display area 800, the display of the plurality of image identifiers is cancelled, and the display of the respective operation controls is restored, including the exit control 802 for exiting the shooting mode, the shooting control 808 for triggering the shooting operation, and the image adding control 806 for further adding virtual images.

[0123] Further, in response to the triggering operation of the shooting control 808 in Figure 8 , the interface can be switched to display as shown in Figure 9 In the current display interface, the virtual shooting prop 900 and the virtual photo obtained by shooting according to the virtual shooting prop 900, i.e., the target media resource 902, can be displayed, and the virtual photo indicated by the target media resource 902 includes the first virtual image and the second virtual image in the virtual social scene, wherein the second virtual image is the virtual image associated with the object account in the offline state. In an optional embodiment, in the interface shown in Figure 9 , the process of dynamically generating the target media resource 902 (virtual photo) according to the virtual shooting prop 900 can also be displayed, i.e., the dynamic process of slowly printing the virtual photo according to the virtual shooting prop 900 in the virtual space is displayed, thereby improving the display effect of the virtual photo generation process. In addition, Figure 9 In the sharing interface shown in , the sharing control 906 for sharing the target media resource and the saving control 904 for saving the target media resource are further displayed.

[0124] In an optional embodiment, before the above-mentioned display of at least one image identifier in the object display area in the target order, one of the following is included:

[0125] In a first mode, an image intimacy between the first virtual image and at least one candidate virtual image indicated by the at least one image identifier is obtained, and a target order is determined according to the image intimacy, wherein the image intimacy is determined according to a virtual social operation between the first virtual image and the candidate virtual image.

[0126] In a second mode, a style matching degree corresponding to each of at least one candidate virtual image indicated by the at least one image identifier is obtained, and a target order is determined according to the style matching degree, wherein the style matching degree is used to indicate a matching degree between an image style of the candidate virtual image and a scene style of a virtual social scene.

[0127] In a third mode, an image relationship type between the first virtual image and at least one candidate virtual image indicated by the at least one image identifier is obtained, and a target order is determined according to the image relationship type, wherein the image relationship type is a relationship type of a virtual social relationship previously established between the first virtual image and the candidate virtual image.

[0128] It can be understood that, in the embodiment, the plurality of image identifiers can be displayed in a certain order in the process of displaying the plurality of image identifiers in the object display area 500 as shown in FIG. 5. Figure 5

[0129] In the first mode, the image identifiers can be displayed in sequence according to the image intimacy. In the embodiment, the image intimacy can reflect operation information of historical social operations between virtual images. The image intimacy can include, but is not limited to, a first historical record of a virtual gift giving operation between the first virtual image and the virtual image indicated by the image identifier, a second historical record of a virtual visiting operation performed by the virtual image in a virtual social environment, and information such as an account relationship between an account corresponding to the virtual image and a session frequency. In the embodiment, when the image intimacy corresponding to each image identifier is determined, the image identifier of the virtual image with high image intimacy can be preferentially displayed in the object display area.

[0130] In the second mode, a style matching degree between an image style of a virtual image indicated by each image identifier and an environment style in a current virtual social environment can be obtained, and the image identifiers can be displayed in sequence according to the style matching degree. For example, in a virtual social environment of a show, if the environment style is “beach”, a style matching degree of a virtual image with a “vacation style” in a dressing style of a friend image of the first virtual image can be determined as a first matching degree, and a style matching degree of a virtual image with a “party style” in a dressing style of a friend image of the first virtual image can be determined as a second matching degree. Obviously, the first matching degree can be higher than the second matching degree, and the image identifier of the virtual image with the “vacation style” can be preferentially displayed.​

[0131] In the third method described above, the visual identifiers of virtual characters with specific relationships can be prioritized for display. For example, virtual characters with a virtual romantic relationship with the first virtual character are displayed as children in the first order; virtual characters with a virtual master-disciple relationship with the first virtual character are displayed as children in the second order; and virtual characters with a virtual neighbor relationship with the first virtual character are displayed as children in the third order. This achieves the goal of displaying visual identifiers of virtual characters with different relationships in the object display area according to different priorities.

[0132] Through the above embodiments of this application, the display priority of the image identifier corresponding to each virtual character can be determined by any of the three methods mentioned above, thereby facilitating the quick identification of the target image identifier of the second virtual character to be photographed from multiple virtual characters and improving the efficiency of target image identifier determination.

[0133] In an optional implementation, after determining the target avatar from at least one avatar, and displaying the second virtual avatar indicated by the target avatar in the virtual social scene, the method further includes:

[0134] S1, in response to a long press operation on the second virtual avatar in the virtual social scene, cancel the display of the second virtual avatar in the virtual social scene;

[0135] S2, Display the target image identifier for indicating the second virtual image at the operation position corresponding to the long press operation;

[0136] S3-1, In response to a drag operation on the target image logo, if the endpoint of the drag operation is located in the second release area, the target image logo is canceled from display;

[0137] S3-2, If the endpoint of the drag operation is not located in the second release area, restore the display of the second virtual avatar in the virtual social scene.

[0138] It is understandable that, in this embodiment, after determining the target image from multiple image icons and displaying the second virtual image in the virtual social scene, the selection of the second virtual image can be further deselected by dragging, that is, the display of the second virtual image in the virtual shooting interface can be canceled.

[0139] like Figure 10 As shown in Figure (a), when a long press operation on the second virtual avatar 1000 is detected, the interface switches to display as follows. Figure 10As shown in (b) of FIG. 10, in the virtual social scene, the display of the second virtual image is cancelled, and the target image identifier 1002 is displayed at the operation position of the long press operation. It can be understood that, in a case where the drag end point of the drag operation on the target image identifier 1002 is located at the second release area 1004, it can be determined that the display of the target image identifier 1002 is cancelled, and the interface is further displayed as shown in (a) of FIG. 10; in a case where the drag end point of the drag operation on the target image identifier 1002 is not located at the second release area 1004, the interface can be restored to be displayed as shown in (b) of FIG. 10. Figure 3 Figure 10

[0140] Through the above-mentioned embodiments of the present application, by responding to the long press operation on the second virtual image in the virtual social scene, the display of the second virtual image in the virtual social scene is cancelled; the target image identifier for indicating the second virtual image is displayed at the operation position corresponding to the long press operation; and in response to the drag operation on the target image identifier, in a case where the operation end point of the drag operation is located at the second release area, the display of the target image identifier is cancelled, thereby realizing flexible editing of the selected virtual image for group photo, and improving the operation efficiency of the interactive operation.

[0141] In an optional embodiment, in a case where the target image identifier is determined from the at least one image identifier, the second virtual image indicated by the target image identifier is displayed in the virtual social scene, comprising:

[0142] S1, obtaining an account operation state of a target account associated with the second virtual image;

[0143] S2, determining a first interactive action of the second virtual image according to the account operation state;

[0144] S3, in response to an editing operation on the second virtual image, updating and displaying the second virtual image in the virtual social scene according to the editing operation.

[0145] In the embodiment, the second virtual image can be displayed according to the account operation state of the target account used for controlling the second virtual image. The account operation state can include but is not limited to an online state, an offline state, a use state in an associated application, and the like.

[0146] For example, in a case where it is determined that the target account is not online in the current application, the first interactive action (photographing action) of “standing still” can be performed on the second virtual image displayed in the virtual shooting interface.

[0147] ​​Further, in a case where the account operation state comprises an account usage state in an associated application, a corresponding first interaction action can be determined according to an application type of the associated application. It should be noted that the associated application can be another application that the reference object account authorizes to log in according to the account identifier thereof. For example, in a case where the current application is an A application, the associated application can be an application in which a user a performs a registration and login operation according to the same user identifier, for example, a B application that the user a logs in and uses according to the identifier information of the user a.

[0148] Further, in a case where the associated application currently logged in and used by the target account is a music application and the music application is in a playing state, the first interaction action of the second virtual image target can be determined as a “music listening action”; in a case where the associated application currently logged in and used by the target account is a video application and the video application is in a playing state, the first interaction action of the second virtual image target can be determined as a “television / film watching action”; for example, in a case where the associated application currently logged in and used by the target account is a game application and the target account is in a game task operation process, the first interaction action of the second virtual image target can be determined as a “shooting action / attack action”.

[0149] In a case where the first interaction action of the second virtual image is displayed based on the account operation state of the target account corresponding to the virtual image, the second virtual image can be further updated and displayed based on an editing operation on the second virtual image. The updating and displaying can include, but is not limited to, updating and displaying a decoration element of the second virtual image, and updating and displaying an interaction action of the second virtual image.

[0150] Through the above embodiments of the present application, the preliminary action of the second virtual image can be displayed in the virtual shooting interface according to the account operation state of the target account corresponding to the virtual image, thereby improving the interaction efficiency between virtual images and between object accounts.

[0151] In an optional embodiment, the updating and displaying the second virtual image in the virtual social scene according to the editing operation in response to the editing operation on the second virtual image comprises at least one of the following:

[0152] Option 1: in a case where a first editing operation on a display position of the second virtual image is detected, the second virtual image is displayed at the updated display position;

[0153] It can be understood that in the present embodiment, the display position of the second virtual image can be moved in the virtual scene through the dragging operation, thereby realizing fine adjustment of the group shot position of the virtual image in the group shot process;

[0154] The second virtual image displays the second interactive action in the virtual shooting interface.

[0155] It can be understood that in the embodiment, the interactive action of the second virtual image can be adjusted. In a specific adjustment manner, a plurality of interactive actions, such as a "heart" action, a "V" action, and a "jump" action, can be displayed for the second virtual image in response to a first trigger operation on the second virtual image. Further, in response to determining the second interactive action from the plurality of interactive actions, the second virtual image performing the second interactive action is displayed in the virtual shooting interface. In another optional manner, a plurality of interactive expressions, such as a "happy" expression and an "excited" expression, can also be displayed for the second virtual image in response to a second trigger operation on the second virtual image. Further, in response to determining the target interactive expression from the plurality of interactive expressions, the second virtual image performing the target interactive expression is displayed in the virtual shooting interface.

[0156] The third manner is that in response to detecting a third editing operation on the image style of the second virtual image, the second virtual image with the updated image style is displayed.

[0157] It can be understood that in the embodiment, the image style of the second virtual image can be adjusted. In a specific adjustment manner, a plurality of dressing elements, such as virtual accessory elements, virtual clothing elements, and virtual hairstyle elements, can be displayed for the first virtual image in response to a third trigger operation on the second virtual image. Further, in response to determining a target dressing element from the plurality of dressing elements currently held by the first virtual image, the current dressing element of the second virtual image is adjusted, and the second virtual image with the adjusted image style is displayed.

[0158] Through the above embodiments of the present application, the display position, the interactive action, and the image style of the second virtual image can be further adjusted, and the interactive effect of the interactive operation between the virtual images is improved.

[0159] In an optional embodiment, before displaying the first virtual image in the virtual shooting interface in the virtual social scene, the following one is further included:

[0160] The first manner is that in response to the first virtual image holding a first shooting prop, in response to a trigger operation on the first shooting prop, a virtual shooting interface of the first shooting prop is displayed according to the virtual social scene in which the first virtual image is currently located; in response to moving the first virtual image, the virtual social scene in the virtual shooting interface is updated and displayed according to the image position after the movement;

[0161] In the above embodiment, the virtual shooting interface can be displayed by triggering the first shooting prop held by the first virtual image. The first shooting prop can be a shooting prop obtained by the first virtual image in the virtual social environment by completing a virtual social task, or a shooting prop obtained by the first virtual image in the virtual social environment by exchanging virtual resources. For example, the shooting prop can include, but is not limited to, a virtual mobile phone, a virtual camera, and the like.

[0162] It can be understood that in the embodiment, the first shooting prop can be a shooting prop held by the first virtual image, and different environment pictures can be collected according to the movement of the first virtual image, and different virtual social scenes can be displayed in the virtual shooting interface according to the movement of the first virtual image.

[0163] In a second mode, when the second shooting prop is included in the virtual scene in which the first virtual image is currently located, the virtual shooting interface of the second shooting prop is displayed according to the virtual social scene currently collected by the second shooting prop in response to the viewing operation of the second shooting prop; and the first virtual image in a moving state is displayed in the virtual social scene in the virtual shooting interface in response to the control of the movement of the first virtual image.

[0164] In the above embodiment, the second shooting prop can be pre-configured at a target position in the virtual social environment, and the virtual shooting interface can be displayed when the first virtual image is controlled to move to the second shooting prop and the triggering operation of the second shooting prop is detected.

[0165] Further, since the second shooting prop can be a shooting prop fixed at a virtual position, and the virtual social scene displayed in the virtual shooting interface corresponding to the second shooting prop is a fixed virtual scene, the content displayed in the virtual shooting interface can be changed by controlling the movement of the first virtual image in the virtual scene.
