Detailed Implementation

[0013] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this disclosure, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0014] In current games, if a player wants to ride a virtual vehicle, they need to approach the vehicle and press the "ride" button. If the player wants to control a virtual character to ride, the system randomly or in a fixed order assigns an empty seat after pressing the "ride" button. If the player finds the seat is not their desired location, they can use the "change seat" button to randomly or in a fixed order assign another empty seat. In vehicles with many seats, this may require multiple seat-changing operations to reach the desired location, making the riding and seat-changing process cumbersome and negatively impacting the player's gaming experience. Therefore, this disclosure provides a virtual vehicle riding interaction method, device, and electronic device, which can be applied to devices such as mobile phones, laptops, computers, and tablets.

[0015] In one embodiment of this disclosure, the virtual vehicle riding interaction method can run on a local terminal device or a server. When the virtual vehicle riding interaction method runs on a server, the method can be implemented and executed based on a cloud interaction system, wherein the cloud interaction system includes a server and a client device.

[0016] In an optional implementation, various cloud applications, such as cloud gaming, can run under the cloud interaction system. Taking cloud gaming as an example, cloud gaming refers to a gaming method based on cloud computing. In the cloud gaming operating mode, the game program and the game screen presentation are separate. The storage and operation of the virtual vehicle riding interaction method are completed on the cloud gaming server. The client device is used for data reception, transmission, and game screen presentation. For example, the client device can be a display device with data transmission capabilities located close to the user, such as a mobile terminal, television, computer, or PDA; however, the information processing is performed by the cloud gaming server in the cloud. When playing the game, the player operates the client device to send operation commands to the cloud gaming server. The cloud gaming server runs the game according to the operation commands, encodes and compresses the game screen and other data, returns it to the client device via the network, and finally, the client device decodes and outputs the game screen.

[0017] In an optional implementation, taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores the game program and is used to display the game screen. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through a graphical user interface (GUI), i.e., conventionally by downloading, installing, and running the game program via an electronic device. The local terminal device can provide the GUI to the player in various ways, such as rendering it on the terminal's display screen or providing it to the player via holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device can include a display screen for displaying the GUI, which includes game screens, and a processor for running the game, generating the GUI, and controlling the display of the GUI on the display screen.

[0018] In one possible implementation, embodiments of the present invention provide a method for interactive riding in a virtual vehicle, providing a graphical user interface through a terminal device. The terminal device can be either the aforementioned local terminal device or a client device in the aforementioned cloud interaction system. The graphical user interface is used to display at least a portion of a virtual scene, which includes a virtual vehicle and a first virtual character controlled by a first terminal device. The virtual vehicle is configured with multiple seats, such as... Figure 1 The method shown includes the following steps: Step S102: In response to the first virtual character and the virtual vehicle satisfying the first positional relationship, control the display of seat identifiers corresponding to multiple seats in the graphical user interface; The aforementioned virtual vehicles can be ground virtual vehicles, air virtual vehicles, water / underwater virtual vehicles, and biological mounts; among them, ground virtual vehicles can be virtual bicycles, virtual motorcycles, virtual carriages, virtual trains, etc.; the aforementioned air virtual vehicles can be virtual airplanes, virtual spaceships, virtual hot air balloons, virtual helicopters, etc.; the aforementioned water / underwater virtual vehicles can be virtual speedboats, virtual submarines, virtual ships, virtual sailboats, etc.; the aforementioned biological mounts can be virtual behemoths, virtual dragons, virtual turtles, etc.

[0019] The aforementioned first positional relationship can be that the first virtual character enters a first preset range centered on the virtual vehicle. This first preset range usually refers to the range of three-dimensional space. For example, the first preset range can be a sphere, specifically a sphere with the center of the virtual vehicle as the center point and a first preset distance as the radius. Or, the first preset range can be a rectangle, specifically a cube with the center of the virtual vehicle as the center point and a first preset distance as the side length, etc.

[0020] The aforementioned seat labels typically indicate at least one of the following: the seating layout of multiple seats, the seat status of each seat, the direction of movement of the virtual vehicle, and the vehicle's front (e.g., the front of a car). The seat status includes occupied, vacant, and selected states. The aforementioned seat labels also include labels indicating the direction of movement of the virtual vehicle, which can be the vehicle's front or an arrow, etc.

[0021] For example, such as Figure 2 The graphical user interface shown displays seat icons for multiple seats after the first virtual character enters the first preset range.

[0022] Step S104: Display the first seat identifier that is selected in the seat identifier; Optionally, a first seat identifier is determined in the seat identifier, and the display format of the first seat identifier is updated according to the seat status of the first seat corresponding to the first seat identifier, so that the updated first seat identifier at least indicates that the first seat identifier is currently selected. Specifically, the display format of the first seat identifier can be controlled to be updated to a third display format or a fourth display format, wherein the third display format is used to indicate that the first seat corresponding to the first seat identifier is in an idle state and a selected state, and the fourth display format is used to indicate that the first seat corresponding to the first seat identifier is in an occupied state and a selected state.

[0023] Typically, when the first virtual character enters the first preset range of the virtual vehicle, a seat will be automatically selected from multiple seats by default. That is, a seat identifier will be automatically determined from the seat identifiers by default, and the display format of that seat identifier will be updated.

[0024] For example, such as Figure 2 The graphical user interface shown has the first seat icon selected.

[0025] Step S106: In response to the seat label switching operation, control the selection of the seat label from the first seat label to the second seat label. Optionally, if the first seat identifier is not the seat the player wants to sit in, they can switch seats using the seat identifier switching operation. Specifically, in response to the seat identifier switching operation, the system controls whether to update the first seat identifier from the third display format to the first display format, or from the fourth display format to the second display format; simultaneously, the system controls whether to update the second seat identifier from the first display format to the third display format, or from the second display format to the fourth display format.

[0026] Optionally, the above-mentioned seat indicator switching operation includes at least one of the following: view adjustment operation, mouse movement operation, mouse click operation, button trigger operation, joystick trigger operation, etc.

[0027] Step S108: In response to the ride command for the virtual vehicle, determine whether the first virtual character should sit in the second seat corresponding to the second seat identifier based on the seat status of the second seat corresponding to the second seat identifier.

[0028] Optionally, in response to a trigger operation on the ride button, a ride command for the virtual vehicle can be generated, such as pressing the "T" key on the keyboard; or, in response to a trigger operation on the ride control, a ride command for the virtual vehicle can be generated, such as tapping the ride control displayed in the graphical user interface.

[0029] Optionally, if the second seat corresponding to the second seat identifier is vacant, the first virtual character is controlled to sit in the second seat corresponding to the second seat identifier; if the second seat corresponding to the second seat identifier is occupied, a request to give up the seat is sent to the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character occupying the second seat. If a consent to give up the seat is received from the second terminal device, the first virtual character is controlled to sit in the second seat corresponding to the second seat identifier, and the second virtual character is controlled to leave the second seat.

[0030] This disclosure provides a method for interactive riding in a virtual vehicle. In response to a first virtual character and a virtual vehicle satisfying a first positional relationship, the method controls the display of seat identifiers corresponding to multiple seats in a graphical user interface. A first seat identifier in a selected state is displayed among the seat identifiers. In response to a seat identifier switching operation, the selected seat identifier is switched from the first seat identifier to a second seat identifier. In response to a riding command for the virtual vehicle, the method determines whether the first virtual character should sit in the second seat corresponding to the second seat identifier based on the seat status of the second seat. In this method, after the virtual character approaches the virtual vehicle, the seat identifiers of the virtual vehicle are displayed. Players can select their desired seat through the seat identifier switching operation. Players can complete seat selection before riding, satisfying their personalized needs, simplifying the riding process for specific seats, and improving the player's gaming experience.

[0031] One possible implementation of the above-described step of controlling the display of seat identifiers corresponding to multiple seats in a graphical user interface is as follows: determining the seat status corresponding to multiple seats, including: vacant status and occupied status; controlling the display of seat identifiers corresponding to multiple seats in the graphical user interface, wherein the seat identifiers corresponding to seats in the vacant status are displayed in a first display format, and the seat identifiers corresponding to seats in the occupied status are displayed in a second display format.

[0032] Optionally, the seat status of multiple seats can be determined, and for each seat, the display format of the seat identifier corresponding to that seat can be determined according to the seat status of that seat, and the seat identifier corresponding to that seat can be displayed in the graphical user interface in that display format.

[0033] Specifically, the seat status of multiple seats is determined. For each seat, if the seat status is vacant, the control displays the seat status in a first display format in the graphical user interface. If the seat status is occupied, the control displays the seat status in a second display format in the graphical user interface.

[0034] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, seats that are vacant are marked with a white square, seats that are occupied are marked with a human figure, and seats that are selected are marked with a gray square.

[0035] Before the step of displaying the first seat identifier that is selected in the seat identifier, the above method further includes: determining the first seat identifier from the seat identifier.

[0036] Optionally, the first seat identifier is randomly determined from the seat identifier.

[0037] Optionally, the first seat identifier is determined from the seat identifiers according to the preset seat order.

[0038] Optionally, the first seat identifier is determined from the seat identifier based on the seat code.

[0039] In one possible approach described above, when there is a seat identifier corresponding to an vacant seat among the seat identifiers, a first seat identifier is determined from the seat identifiers corresponding to the vacant seats based on a preset selection order, wherein the preset selection order is determined based on the movement mode of the virtual vehicle.

[0040] In other words, if there are vacant seats among the available seats, the first seat is determined from among these vacant seats. Specifically, this is done according to a preset selection order. Alternatively, a seat can be randomly selected from the vacant seats and designated as the first seat.

[0041] Optionally, the preset selection order is determined based on the movement direction of the virtual vehicle. Specifically, the movement direction of the virtual vehicle is determined, the vehicle component corresponding to the movement direction is identified from the virtual vehicle, and the designated seat closest to the vehicle component (the designated seat is in an vacant state) is identified from the virtual vehicle. Starting from one side of the designated seat, the vacant seats among the multiple seats are sorted to obtain the preset selection order. For example, if the virtual vehicle is moving in the direction of the front of the vehicle, the seat closest to the front of the vehicle is identified as the designated seat, and the vacant seats among the multiple seats are sorted starting from the left side of the designated seat.

[0042] The aforementioned first seat identifier corresponds to the first seat. After the step of displaying the first seat identifier in the selected state in the seat identifier, the above method further includes: displaying a first operation mode and a first prompt message in the graphical user interface; wherein, the first operation mode is used to trigger a riding command for the virtual vehicle, and the first prompt message is used to prompt that the first virtual character will sit in the first seat after the riding command is triggered.

[0043] In other words, if the first seat corresponding to the first seat identifier is vacant, triggering the boarding command will directly control the first virtual character to sit in the first seat. Specifically, in response to the first operation mode being triggered, a boarding command for the virtual vehicle is generated, and in response to this boarding command, the first virtual character will be controlled to sit in the first seat.

[0044] Optionally, a reminder message for the first operation mode can be displayed in the graphical user interface. This reminder message may include a seat icon. The reminder message could be a game control that triggered the first operation mode, a game button that triggered the first operation mode, etc. For example, responding to a touch operation on a game control triggers a command to ride a virtual vehicle; this touch operation typically refers to a finger clicking on a game control. Similarly, responding to a trigger operation on a game button triggers a command to ride a virtual vehicle; this trigger operation typically refers to a mouse pressing a keyboard button. Optionally, a first prompt message may be displayed in the graphical user interface. This first prompt message may be text, graphic, or symbolic, etc. For example, such as... Figure 2As shown, the graphical user interface displays a prompt message for the first operation mode, including a seat icon and the letter "T," indicating that the player can trigger the first operation mode by pressing the "T" key. The graphical user interface also displays a first prompt message, a heart-shaped icon above the seat icon, indicating that the first virtual character will sit in the first seat after the seating command is triggered.

[0045] In another possible implementation, when there is no seat identifier corresponding to an empty seat in the seat identifiers, the step of determining the first seat identifier from the seat identifiers includes: determining the first seat identifier from the seat identifiers corresponding to an occupied seat based on a preset selection order.

[0046] In other words, if none of the seats are available and all seats are occupied, the first seat is determined from among the occupied seats. Specifically, this is done according to a preset selection order. Alternatively, a seat can be randomly selected from the occupied seats and designated as the first seat.

[0047] Optionally, the preset selection order is determined based on the movement direction of the virtual vehicle. Specifically, the movement direction of the virtual vehicle is determined, the vehicle component corresponding to the movement direction is identified from the virtual vehicle, the designated seat closest to the vehicle component is identified from the virtual vehicle, and multiple seats are sorted starting from one side of the designated seat to obtain the preset selection order. For example, if the virtual vehicle is moving in the direction of the front of the vehicle, the seat closest to the front of the vehicle is identified as the designated seat, and multiple seats are sorted starting from the left side of the designated seat.

[0048] The aforementioned first seat identifier corresponds to the first seat. After the step of displaying the first seat identifier in the selected state in the seat identifier, the above method further includes: displaying a first operation mode and a second prompt message in the graphical user interface; wherein, the first operation mode is used to trigger a ride command for the virtual vehicle, and the second prompt message is used to prompt that after triggering the ride command, a request to give up the seat will be initiated to the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character occupying the first seat.

[0049] In other words, if the first seat is occupied, after triggering the boarding command, the first virtual character cannot directly sit in the first seat. The player occupying the first seat must agree before the first virtual character can sit there. Specifically, in response to the triggering of the first operation method, a boarding command for the virtual vehicle is generated. In response to this command, a request to give up the seat is sent to the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character occupying the first seat. Upon receiving the consent request from the second terminal device, the second virtual character leaves the first seat, and the first virtual character sits in the first seat.

[0050] Optionally, a reminder message for the first operation mode can be displayed in the graphical user interface. This reminder message may include a seat icon. The reminder message could be a game control that triggered the first operation mode, a game button that triggered the first operation mode, etc. For example, responding to a touch operation on a game control triggers a command to ride a virtual vehicle; this touch operation typically refers to a finger clicking on a game control. Similarly, responding to a trigger operation on a game button triggers a command to ride a virtual vehicle; this trigger operation typically refers to a mouse pressing a keyboard button. Optionally, a second prompt message may be displayed in the graphical user interface. This second prompt message may be text, graphic, or symbolic, etc. For example, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the graphical user interface displays a prompt message for the first operation mode, including a seat icon and the letter "T," indicating that the player can trigger the first operation mode by pressing the "T" key. The graphical user interface also displays a second prompt message, which is two arrows located above the seat icon, indicating that after triggering the seating command, a request to offer the seat to the second terminal device corresponding to the second virtual character occupying the first seat should be initiated.

[0051] In response to the seat label switching operation, the step of controlling the selected seat label in the seat label to switch from the first seat label to the second seat label can be implemented as follows: In response to the first view adjustment operation, based on the view adjustment direction of the first view adjustment operation, the second seat label is determined from the seat labels, and the second seat label is configured to be selected, while the first seat label is configured to be unselected.

[0052] Optionally, the graphical user interface described above provides a crosshair indicator to indicate the aiming direction of the first virtual character; the first view adjustment operation is used to adjust the aiming direction from a first direction to a second direction.

[0053] The above-mentioned step of adjusting the perspective direction of the first perspective adjustment operation and controlling the determination of the second seat identifier from the seat identifiers can be implemented in one possible way: the second seat identifier is determined from the seat identifiers based on the relative direction between the second direction and the first direction; wherein the directional relationship and relative direction between the second seat identifier and the first seat identifier correspond to each other.

[0054] The aforementioned relative direction refers to the direction of the first direction relative to the second direction, or in other words, the direction from the first direction to the second direction. The directional relationship between the second seat marker and the first seat marker refers to the direction in which the first seat marker designates the second seat marker. For example, if the player moves the crosshair to the left, the seat marker located to the left of the first seat marker will be designated as the second seat marker.

[0055] For example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the crosshair is moved downwards, the second seat marker is configured to be selected (controlling the second seat marker to be displayed in gray), and the first seat marker is configured to be unselected (controlling the first seat marker to be displayed in white).

[0056] The aforementioned second seat identifier corresponds to the second seat. After configuring the second seat identifier to be selected, the method further includes: (1) Detect whether the second seat is occupied; (2) If not, the first operation mode and the third prompt information are displayed in the graphical user interface; wherein, the first operation mode is used to trigger the ride command for the virtual vehicle, and the third prompt information is used to prompt that the first virtual character will sit in the second seat after the ride command is triggered. The third prompt message is the same as the first prompt message, and will not be repeated here. For example, as shown... Figure 4 If the second seat is vacant, the graphical user interface displays a reminder message for the first operation mode, including a seat icon and the letter "T," indicating that the player can trigger the first operation mode by pressing the "T" key. The graphical user interface also displays a third prompt message, a heart-shaped icon above the seat icon, indicating that the first virtual character will sit in the second seat after the seating command is triggered.

[0057] (3) If so, the first operation mode and the fourth prompt information are displayed in the graphical user interface; wherein, the fourth prompt information is used to prompt that after the ride instruction is triggered, a request to give up the seat will be initiated to the third terminal device corresponding to the third virtual character occupying the second seat.

[0058] The fourth prompt message is the same as the second prompt message, and will not be repeated here. For example, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, if the second seat is occupied, the graphical user interface displays a reminder message for the first operation mode, including a seat icon and the letter "T," indicating that the player can trigger the first operation mode by pressing the "T" key. The graphical user interface also displays a fourth prompt message, consisting of two arrows on the seat icon, indicating that after triggering the seating command, a request to offer the second seat to the third terminal device corresponding to the third virtual character occupying the second seat should be initiated.

[0059] The above method also includes: controlling the display of selected seat signs in a third display format so that the selected seat signs are visually distinguishable.

[0060] The third display format mentioned above can be highlighted, grayed out, or it can display a specified pattern (such as a "√" pattern) on the seat label. For example, ... Figure 2 As shown, when the first seat identifier is selected, the first seat identifier is displayed in gray.

[0061] The above method also includes: in response to the first virtual character and the virtual vehicle satisfying a second positional relationship, controlling the display of seat labels corresponding to multiple seats in the graphical user interface to be cancelled.

[0062] The aforementioned second positional relationship can be that the first virtual character enters a second preset range centered on the virtual vehicle. This second preset range typically refers to a three-dimensional spatial range. For example, the second preset range can be a sphere, specifically a sphere with the center of the virtual vehicle as its center point and a second preset distance as its radius. Alternatively, the second preset range can be a rectangle, specifically a cube with the center of the virtual vehicle as its center point and a second preset distance as its side length, etc. The aforementioned first preset range encloses the second preset range.

[0063] In actual implementation, the player controls the first virtual character to first enter the first preset range corresponding to the virtual vehicle, and then continues to approach the virtual vehicle, at which point the first virtual character will enter the second preset range corresponding to the virtual vehicle. Optionally, in response to the first virtual character and the virtual vehicle satisfying the second positional relationship, the player controls the first virtual character to be inside the virtual vehicle, that is, controls the first virtual character to stand in a designated position on the virtual vehicle (this designated position is not a seat position). At the same time, the player controls the display of seat icons corresponding to multiple seats in the graphical user interface to be canceled, and the display of the first operation mode and the first / second / third / fourth prompt information will also be canceled.

[0064] When the first virtual character and the virtual vehicle satisfy the second positional relationship, the above method further includes: (1) In response to the second perspective adjustment operation, control and adjust the game perspective corresponding to the first virtual character; Optionally, the graphical user interface described above provides a crosshair indicator; the crosshair indicator is used to indicate the aiming direction corresponding to the first virtual character; one possible implementation is: in response to a second view adjustment operation, the aiming direction of the crosshair indicator is controlled to be adjusted; in response to the crosshair indicator coinciding with the third seat, the game view is determined to point to the third seat.

[0065] Example amount, such as Figure 6 As shown, if the crosshair of the first virtual character coincides with the game model corresponding to the third seat, then the game view is directed to the third seat.

[0066] (2) When the game view is directed at the third seat among multiple seats, determine whether the third seat is occupied; (3) If not, the first operation mode and the fifth prompt message are displayed in the graphical user interface; wherein, the first operation mode is used to trigger the ride command for the virtual vehicle, and the fifth prompt message is used to prompt that the first virtual character will sit in the third seat after the ride command is triggered. The fifth prompt message mentioned above may be the same as or different from the first prompt message mentioned above. For example, such as... Figure 6 If the third seat is vacant, the graphical user interface displays a reminder message for the first operation mode, including a seat icon and the letter "T," indicating that the player can trigger the first operation mode by pressing the "T" key. The graphical user interface also displays a fifth prompt message, a heart-shaped icon on the seat icon, indicating that the first virtual character will sit in the third seat after the seating command is triggered.

[0067] (4) If so, the first operation mode and the sixth prompt information are displayed in the graphical user interface; wherein, the sixth prompt information is used to prompt that after the ride instruction is triggered, a request to give up the seat will be initiated to the fourth terminal device corresponding to the fourth virtual character occupying the third seat.

[0068] The sixth prompt message mentioned above may be the same as or different from the second prompt message mentioned above. For example, such as... Figure 7 As shown, if the third seat is occupied, the graphical user interface displays a reminder message for the first operation mode, including a seat icon and the letter "T," indicating that the player can trigger the first operation mode by pressing the "T" key. The graphical user interface also displays a sixth prompt message, consisting of two arrows on the seat icon, indicating that after triggering the seating command, a request to offer the third seat to the fourth terminal device corresponding to the fourth virtual character occupying the third seat should be initiated.
