[0015] As described above, during user interaction with virtual objects, users may need to respond to query messages from these objects. However, users may struggle to understand certain domain-specific concepts, thus affecting the accuracy of message interaction.

[0016] In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure propose a conversational interaction scheme. According to this scheme, a first message from a virtual object is displayed in a conversational interface with the virtual object, the first message being associated with multiple response items; an interactive component associated with the multiple response items is displayed in the conversational interface, the interactive component displaying the text content of the multiple response items and additional descriptive information associated with the multiple response items; a selection of a target response item among the multiple response items is received via the interactive component; and target content corresponding to the target response item is entered in a message input component in the conversational interface.

[0017] Based on the above methods, the embodiments of this disclosure can help users better understand the meaning of the response items, thereby improving the accuracy of message interaction.

[0018] The following section provides a detailed description of various example implementations of this scheme, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0019] Example Environment Figure 1 A schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented is shown. For example... Figure 1 As shown, example environment 100 may include electronic device 110.

[0020] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may be running application 120. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application suitable for interacting with virtual objects. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0021] exist Figure 1 In environment 100, if application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can present interface 150 through application 120.

[0022] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable gaming terminals, VR / AR devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0023] Server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. Server 130 may include, for example, computing systems / servers such as mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. Server 130 can provide backend services for applications 120 that support virtual scenarios in electronic devices 110.

[0024] A communication connection can be established between server 130 and electronic device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, mobile network, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connections; the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of this disclosure, server 130 and electronic device 110 can achieve signaling interaction through the communication connection between them.

[0025] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0026] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0027] Example Interaction The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure. Figures 2A to 2C Example interfaces 200A to 200C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown, which may be provided, for example, by electronic device 110.

[0028] like Figure 2A As shown, interface 200A can be a conversational interface between the user and a virtual object. As described above, the virtual object can include various appropriate types of processing entities implemented based on machine learning models, also known as virtual processing entities. Examples of virtual objects can include, but are not limited to, various bots, agents, and digital humans. Such virtual objects can, for example, generate response messages to user input messages based on machine learning models, thereby achieving conversational interaction.

[0029] In some conversational scenarios, virtual objects can send query-like messages to users to obtain their responses. For example, with... Figure 2A As an example, in a medical consultation scenario, a virtual object can send a query message 205 to the user to obtain more accurate information.

[0030] In some embodiments, such an inquiry message 205 may be associated with multiple response items. These response items may also be referred to as candidate answers to the inquiry message 205. Typically, the session interface displays tabs corresponding to multiple response items for the user to select from, or the user may directly input response content via an input component.

[0031] In some scenarios, such response options may have technical meanings, making it difficult for users to make an accurate selection. For example, in a medical consultation scenario, response options may include medical terminology, which users may not understand, thus hindering their ability to respond quickly.

[0032] In some embodiments, as will be described in detail below, the electronic device 110 may utilize interactive components to present additional descriptive information associated with multiple response items to help the user understand the meaning of such response items, thereby improving the efficiency of message interaction.

[0033] like Figure 2A As shown, the query message 205 may be associated with multiple response items, such as "Option A", "Option B" and "Option C". Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may present multiple interactive components corresponding to the multiple response items, namely, interactive component 210-1, interactive component 210-2 and interactive component 210-3 (referred to individually or collectively as interactive component 210).

[0034] In some embodiments, the interactive component 210 may display the text content of the corresponding response item, such as "Option A", "Option B", and "Option C". Additionally, the interactive component 210 may also display additional descriptive information associated with the corresponding descriptive item.

[0035] In some embodiments, taking interactive component 210-1 as an example, such additional descriptive information may include, for example, a descriptive image about "Option A," such as a picture or video. By displaying the descriptive image, embodiments of this disclosure can help users better understand the meaning of "Option A."

[0036] In some embodiments, taking interactive component 210-1 as an example, such additional descriptive information may include, for example, descriptive text about "Option A". As an example, if "Option A" is a term from a specific field, such descriptive text may include more commonly understood content.

[0037] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can help users understand the meaning of each response by adding descriptive information, thereby helping users make better choices and improving the efficiency of conversational interaction.

[0038] In some embodiments, such additional descriptive information (e.g., descriptive text and / or descriptive images) can be generated by a model associated with the virtual object. For example, using a language model as an example, when the language model generates a query message associated with multiple responses, the language model can be triggered to further generate additional descriptive information associated with the multiple responses, such as descriptive images and / or descriptive text. Accordingly, the electronic device 110 can receive such additional descriptive information and present it accordingly in the interaction component 210.

[0039] In some embodiments, such additional descriptive information may also be pre-built by the platform. Specifically, the platform may pre-build descriptive information corresponding to multiple terms, such as descriptive text and / or descriptive images. Such multiple terms may constitute a set of response items.

[0040] Furthermore, when multiple response items associated with the inquiry message 205 are included in the set of response items, the electronic device 110 can accordingly obtain additional descriptive information pre-organized for the multiple response items and display it in the interaction component 210.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figure 2B Electronic device 110 may receive a user's selection of one or more target responses via interaction component 210. For example, electronic device 110 may receive a user's trigger action on interaction component 210-2 and determine that the user has selected a target response (i.e., option B).

[0042] Accordingly, the electronic device 110 may further display the target content 215 corresponding to the selected target response in the message input component 220. As an example, the target content 215 may include the text content of the target response (e.g., "Option B"). In some other embodiments, the target content 215 may also be generated based on the text content of the target response. For example, the target content 215 may be "My choice is Option B".

[0043] Furthermore, the user can trigger the sending of a message corresponding to the target content 215 as a response to the inquiry message 205 via the send button in the message input component 220. It should be understood that additional descriptive information of the selected target response item will be displayed in the message input component 220.

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive a user's click on the selected interactive component 210-2 and accordingly deselect the response item (e.g., option B). Additionally, the electronic device 110 may also accordingly delete the text content 215 corresponding to the response item from the message input component 220.

[0045] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive a user's preset operation (also referred to as a first preset operation) and accordingly stop displaying the interactive component 210 in the session interface. For example, the electronic device 110 may receive a user's swipe operation (e.g., an up swipe or a down swipe) in the session interface 200B and accordingly collapse the interactive component 210. As another example, the electronic device 110 may also receive a user's trigger operation on the message input component 220 and accordingly collapse the interactive component 210.

[0046] Furthermore, such as Figure 2C As shown, after the interactive component 210 is collapsed, the electronic device 110 may also display multiple response components corresponding to multiple response items, such as response component 225-1, response component 225-2 and response component 225-3 (referred to individually or collectively as response component 225).

[0047] In some embodiments, the response component 225 may have a smaller size than the interaction component 210. For example, the response component 225 may display only the text content of the corresponding response item. Additionally, the response component 225 may also display a smaller-sized descriptive image of the response item. Alternatively, the descriptive text of the corresponding response item may not be displayed in the response component 225.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive a user’s preset operation (also known as a second preset operation) and accordingly re-display the interactive component 210 in the session interface and stop displaying the response component 225.

[0049] For example, electronic device 110 can receive a user's trigger operation on unfolding component 230 and display accordingly, such as Figure 2B The interactive component 210 is shown, and the response component 225 is stopped from being displayed. Alternatively, such a second preset operation may also include a swipe operation in a preset direction, such as an up swipe or a down swipe operation.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also insert or delete corresponding text content in the message input component 320 based on the user's triggering operation on the response component 225.

[0051] In this way, the embodiments of this disclosure can further improve the flexibility of message interaction, thereby enhancing the user's interactive experience.

[0052] Figures 3A to 3C Example interfaces 300A to 300C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure are shown, which may be provided, for example, by electronic device 110.

[0053] like Figure 3A As shown, the electronic device 110 can display a virtual object's query message 305 in the session interface 300C. This query message 305 can be associated with multiple response items, such as nine response items including "upper left abdomen," "upper abdomen," and "upper right abdomen." Some users may find it difficult to understand the specific scope corresponding to such response items, thus making it difficult to provide accurate feedback.

[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may display an interactive component 310 associated with multiple response items. The interactive component 310 may include multiple interactive areas corresponding to the multiple response items. For example, interactive areas 315-1 to 315-9 (each individually or collectively referred to as interactive area 315) may each correspond to nine response items.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also display a graphical representation of the target object associated with the query message 305 in the interaction component 310 as additional descriptive information for multiple response items. Figure 3A As an example, the query message 305 may relate to multiple parts of the target object's "abdomen," and accordingly, the electronic device 110 may use the interactive component 310 to display a graphical representation of the object's "abdomen."

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 3A As shown, the distribution of multiple interactive areas 315 in the graphical representation can be used to indicate the location of multiple parts corresponding to multiple responses in the target object (e.g., "abdomen").

[0057] As a result, users can intuitively understand the location of each part corresponding to the target object, thus helping them to make more accurate responses.

[0058] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can receive a user's trigger operation on one or more interaction areas (e.g., interaction areas 315-8) and determine that the user has selected a target response item (i.e., the lower abdomen).

[0059] Accordingly, the electronic device 110 can use a target style to display one or more triggered areas to indicate that the corresponding response item has been selected. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can also display target content 320 corresponding to the selected response item in the message input component 325. As described above, such target content may include, for example, the text content of the selected response item, or it may be generated based on the text content of the response item.

[0060] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also receive a user's click on the selected interaction area 315-8 and accordingly deselect the response item (e.g., lower abdomen). Additionally, the electronic device 110 may also accordingly delete the text content 320 corresponding to the response item from the message input component 325.

[0061] Similar to a reference Figure 2C The electronic device 110 can also collapse or expand the interactive component 310 accordingly based on the user's preset operation (e.g., the first preset operation and the second preset operation discussed above).

[0062] For example, the electronic device 110 can retract the interactive component 310 based on a user's swipe operation in a preset direction or a trigger operation on the message input component 325, and can display response components 330-1 to 330-3 (each individually or collectively referred to as response component 330) corresponding to one or more of the multiple response items. For example, a user can swipe on the response component 330 to view the response components corresponding to other response items.

[0063] For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a user's trigger operation on the unfolding component 335 or a sliding operation in a preset direction, and display accordingly, such as Figure 3B The interactive component 310 is shown, and the response component 330 is stopped from being displayed.

[0064] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also insert or delete corresponding text content in the message input component 325 based on the user's triggering operation on the response component 330.

[0065] Based on the above methods, the embodiments of this disclosure can help users better understand the meaning of the response items, thereby improving the accuracy of message interaction.
