[0011] To make a person skilled in the art better understand solutions of this application, the following clearly and completely describes the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Apparently, the described embodiments are merely some rather than all of the embodiments of this application. The invention is defined by the appended independent claims.

[0012] It should be noted that in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application, the terms "first", "second", and so on are intended to distinguish between similar objects rather than describe a specific order or sequence. It is to be understood that the data termed in this way are interchangeable in a proper case, so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented in other orders than the orders illustrated or described herein. Moreover, the terms "include", "have" and any other variants mean to cover the non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a list of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those expressly listed steps or units, but may include other steps or units not expressly listed or inherent to such a process, method, product, or device.

[0013] According to an aspect of the embodiments of this application, an interactive control method is provided. In an implementation, the foregoing interactive control method may be applied to, but is not limited to, an environment shown in FIG. 1. A user 102 may perform a touch operation on a touch panel 104, and a host 106 recognizes the touch operation after obtaining the touch operation received by the touch panel 104, and generates an interaction request according to a recognition result. The host 106 controls, according to the interaction request, a holographic projection-based virtual character (or role) 110 projected by a projector 108 to perform an interactive action matching the interaction request. In this device, a battery 112 is configured to power the whole device.

[0014] It should be noted that FIG. 1 is merely an example of a hardware structure, and does not constitute a limitation on this embodiment. The touch panel 104 and the projector 108 may exist separately. In this case, the touch panel 104 transmits a touch signal to the host 106 by using a signal transmission device connected to the touch panel 104. The projector 108 receives a to-be-projected interactive action from the host 106 by using a signal receiving apparatus.

[0015] It should be noted that in the related art, in a case that a holographic projection-based virtual character is displayed by using a holographic projection device, a client or a speech instruction is usually used for interacting with the holographic projection device. However, the foregoing method for interacting with the holographic projection device has monotonous control instructions, and the holographic projection device can only make simple responses. By contrast, in this embodiment, a touch operation is obtained by using a touch panel, the touch operation is recognized, an interaction request is generated according to the recognized touch operation, and an interactive action matching the interaction request is performed according to the interaction request. In the foregoing method, a holographic projection device can be directly controlled by using a touch operation received by a touch panel, thereby enriching instructions for controlling the holographic projection device, and improving the flexibility of the interaction with a holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0016] For convenience of understanding and explaining the interactive control method provided in this embodiment of this application, the description is made with reference to FIG. 2 below. The interactive control method provided in this embodiment of this application may be applied to a holographic projection device, and in an implementation, the interactive control method may include the following steps S202 to S206.

[0017] In step S202, a holographic projection device recognizes a touch operation performed on a touch panel, the holographic projection device being configured to display a holographic projection-based virtual character, the touch panel being disposed on the holographic projection device.

[0018] In step S204, the holographic projection device generates an interaction request according to the recognized touch operation, the interaction request being used for requesting interaction with the holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0019] In step S206, the holographic projection device controls the holographic projection-based virtual character to perform an interactive action matching the interaction request.

[0020] The foregoing interactive control method may be applied to, but is not limited to, a process of interacting with the holographic projection-based virtual character in the holographic projection device. For example, the foregoing interactive control method may be applied to a process of interacting with a projected holographic virtual cartoon figure, and may also be applied to a process of interacting with a projected holographic virtual building.

[0021] For convenience of understanding and description, an example in which the interactive control method is applied to the process of interacting with a holographic virtual cartoon figure projected by the holographic projection device is used for description. In a case that the holographic virtual cartoon figure is projected by the holographic projection device, a user may observe the holographic virtual cartoon figure. In this case, after the user touches the touch panel to generate a touch operation, the holographic projection device recognizes the touch operation, generates an interaction request, and controls the holographic virtual cartoon figure according to the interaction request to perform an interactive action (for example, becoming shy) matching the interaction request. In this case, the user can see the holographic virtual cartoon figure performing the interactive action, thereby completing the interaction between the user and the holographic virtual cartoon figure.

[0022] In this embodiment, the holographic projection device uses a control method in which a touch operation is first obtained by using a touch panel so as to recognize the touch operation and an interaction request is then generated according to the recognized touch operation so as to perform an interactive action matching the interaction request according to the interaction request. In the control method, the holographic projection device can be directly controlled by using a touch operation received by a touch panel, thereby enriching instructions for controlling the holographic projection device, and improving the flexibility of the interaction with a holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0023] The interactive action may include, but is not limited to, a body movement of the holographic projection-based virtual character and / or a voice of the holographic projection-based virtual character. For example, the "controlling the holographic projection-based virtual character to perform an interactive action matching the interaction request" may be: controlling the holographic projection-based virtual character to play an animation matching the interaction request; and / or, controlling the holographic projection-based virtual character to play an audio matching the interaction request.

[0024] The controlling the holographic projection-based virtual character to play an audio may include, but is not limited to, controlling a mouth of the holographic projection-based virtual character to change and simultaneously playing the audio by using a sound playing apparatus.

[0025] The touch operation may be obtained by using touch information generated by interaction between a touch point and the touch panel. After the touch information is obtained, the touch operation is recognized according to the touch information.

[0026] The touch information may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: touch action duration of the touch point, a touch trajectory of the touch point, and a touch position of the touch point.

[0027] The touch point may include, but is not limited to, a position of contact between a human body or a tool used by a human body and the touch panel. The human body may be, but is not limited to, any part such as a finger, a palm, the back of a hand, a nail, the forehead, the chin, a cheek or any other part of a human. The touch point may be, but is not limited to, a plurality of touch points. For example, in a case that the palm touches the touch panel, a plurality of touch points is formed. The plurality of touch points is synchronized and act in accordance with each other. In a case that the finger touches a touch screen, one touch point is formed. The touch information may be, but is not limited to, movement information of the touch point or time information of the touch point. For example, an example in which the touch point is a position of contact between the finger and the touch screen is used for description. The finger may move when it is in contact with the touch panel, thereby leaving a trajectory on the touch screen; or the finger contacts the touch screen for a single time and leaves in a short time, so as to perform a click operation on the touch screen. In this way, the trajectory or the click operation may be used as the touch information, to recognize the touch operation according to the touch information.

[0028] Recognizing, by the holographic projection device, the touch operation according to the touch information includes: (1) determining, by the holographic projection device, that the touch operation indicates a caress operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character in a case that the touch information indicates that the number of slide actions performed on the touch panel by the touch point is greater than a first threshold, where an action in which a movement distance of the touch point on the touch panel is greater than a second threshold is recognized as a slide action; and (2) in a case that the touch information indicates that the movement distance of the touch point on the touch panel is less than a third threshold and action duration of the touch point on the touch panel is less than a fourth threshold, determining, by the holographic projection device, that the touch operation indicates a pat operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0029] The first threshold, second threshold, third threshold, and fourth threshold may be, but not limited to, set according to empirical values. For example, the touch point is formed through contact between the finger and the touch panel. As shown in FIG. 3, after the finger touches the touch panel to form a touch point A, the finger moves from the touch point A to a touch point B, a movement distance being a. A relationship between a and the second threshold is determined, and in a case that a is greater than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates that a current operation is a slide operation. In a case that a is less than the third threshold, it indicates that the current operation is not a slide operation but is subject to further determination with additional conditions. The action duration may include, but is not limited to, duration of existence of the touch point for a single time. For example, in a case that the finger touches the touch panel for one second, the action duration is one second.

[0030] Further, after it is determined that the current operation is a slide operation, in a case that a plurality of slide operations is received, the number of the received slide operations is determined. In a case that the number of the slide operations is greater than the first threshold, the holographic projection device may determine by calculation that the user performs a plurality of slide operations on the touch panel. In this case, the holographic projection device may determine that the user is performing a caress operation. In a case that the current operation is not a slide operation and the action duration of the current operation is less than the fourth threshold, the holographic projection device may determine by calculation that the user performs a single short-time touch operation on the touch panel. In this case, the holographic projection device may determine that the user is performing a pat action.

[0031] Determining, by holographic projection device, that the touch operation indicates a caress operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character may include, but is not limited to, the following: obtaining, by the holographic projection device, a first position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a first moment and a second position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a second moment, a time interval from the first moment to the second moment being a frame period; recognizing, by the holographic projection device in a case that a distance between the first position and the second position is greater than the second threshold, an action in which the touch point moves from the first position to the second position as a slide action, and adding one to the number of slide actions; and determining, by the holographic projection device in a case that the number of slide actions is greater than the first threshold, that the touch operation indicates a caress operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0032] The method may include, but is not limited to, adding coordinate information to the touch screen. For example, FIG. 4 shows a touch node of the touch screen. A plane rectangular coordinate system is set with the lower left corner of the touch screen as the origin and the touch screen as the plane. Any point on the touch screen can have a coordinate value. For example, the coordinates of a point C are (x, y), x and y being positive numbers.

[0033] A case that the palm touches the touch screen is described with reference to FIG. 5. In a case that it is determined that the touch panel is in a to-be-detected state (that is, S502), the palm touches the touch panel. It is determined in S504 whether the number of touch points is greater than 3, and in a case that the number of touch points is greater than 3, the coordinates of the touch points are recorded in S506. In this case, the coordinates of one of the touch points may be chosen and recorded, or the coordinates of all the touch points may be recorded. When the touch points disappear, it is determined in S508 whether the number of the touch points is greater than 3 before the touch points disappear, and in a case that the number of the touch points is greater than 3, coordinates where the touch points disappear are recorded in S510. In this case, a touch point whose start coordinates are recorded may be chosen and disappearance coordinates of the touch point are recorded, or disappearance coordinates of all the touch points may be recorded. The start coordinates and disappearance coordinates of each touch point correspond to each other. A distance D between the start coordinates and the disappearance coordinates of a touch point is calculated in S512, and it is determined in S514 whether D is greater than the second threshold. In a case that D is greater than the second threshold, the number E of slide actions is incremented by one in S516. It is determined in S518 whether E is greater than the first threshold, and in a case that E is greater than the first threshold, it is determined that a currently performed action is a caress operation. In this process, in a case that the numbers of the touch points in S504 and S508 are not greater than 3 or after it is determined that the current action is a caress operation, S522 is performed, where E is reset to 0. It should be noted that the number 3 as referred to in determining whether the number of the touch points is greater than 3 may be set flexibly. In addition, the foregoing process is a process of determining whether the palm is performing a caress operation. In a case of determining whether the finger (or another part) is performing a caress operation, steps S504 and S508 in the process in FIG. 5 may be deleted, which is however not limited thereto, so that it is not necessary to determine whether the number of the touch points is greater than 3. In this case, it can be determined whether a current operation is a caress operation by the remaining steps in FIG. 5.

[0034] Determining, by holographic projection device, that the touch operation indicates a pat operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character may include, but is not limited to, the following: obtaining, by the holographic projection device, a third position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a third moment and a fourth position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a fourth moment; and determining, by the holographic projection device in a case that a distance between the third position and the fourth position is less than the third threshold and a time interval from the third moment to the fourth moment is less than the fourth threshold, that the touch operation indicates a pat operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0035] For example, the description is provided below with reference to FIG. 6. For example, the touch operation is an operation performed on the touch panel by the palm. In a case that it is determined that the touch panel is in a to-be-detected state (that is, S602), after the palm touches the touch panel, it is determined in S604 whether the number of the touch points is greater than 3, and in a case that the number of the touch points is greater than 3, coordinates and a generation moment of one touch point or coordinates and generation moments of all the touch points are recorded in S606. It is determined in S608 whether the number of the touch points is equal to 0, and in a case that the number of the touch points is equal to 0, disappearance coordinates and a disappearance moment of the one touch point or disappearance coordinates and disappearance moments of all the touch points are recorded, and a distance L between the coordinates of the touch point (that is, a distance between start coordinates and the disappearance coordinates of the touch point), and a time interval T from the generation moment and the disappearance moment of the touch point are calculated in S610. It is determined in S612 whether L is less than the third threshold, and it is determined in S614 whether T is less than the fourth threshold. In a case that L is less than the third threshold and T is less than the fourth threshold, it is determined in S616 that the current operation is a pat operation. In a case that L is greater than or equal to the third threshold, or T is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, or it is determined that the current action is a pat operation, the touch panel enters the to-be-detected state in S602 again. In addition, in a case that the touch point does not disappear in a detection process, the position of the touch point and a current moment are periodically recorded.

[0036] After the recognizing, by the holographic projection device, the touch operation according to the touch information, the method further includes: obtaining, by the holographic projection device, an action region of interaction between the touch point and the touch panel; and determining, by the holographic projection device according to a position of the action region on the touch panel, interactive information requested by the interaction request.

[0037] For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the touch panel is divided into six regions, A, B, C, D, E, and F, and interactions in different regions correspond to different interactive information.

[0038] After the touch panel is divided into different regions, the sizes and shapes of the regions may be the same or different, and the number of the divided regions may be any positive number greater than or equal to 1.

[0039] The determining, by the holographic projection device according to a position of the action region on the touch panel, interactive information requested by the interaction request includes either or both of the following two steps (1) and (2).

[0040] In step (1), the holographic projection device determines, according to the position of the action region on the touch panel, a character part of the holographic projection-based virtual character for the interaction, and determines, according to the character part, the interactive information requested by the interaction request.

[0041] The method may include, but is not limited to, dividing the touch panel into different regions, and different regions represent different character parts. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the touch panel is divided into six regions, and the regions respectively correspond to the head, the left arm, the right arm, the belly, the left leg, and the right leg. Touching different regions indicates interacting with different body parts of the character, for example, patting the head or caressing the belly.

[0042] In step (2), the holographic projection device determines, according to the position of the action region on the touch panel, an interaction type of the interaction with the holographic projection-based virtual character, and determines, according to the interaction type, the interactive information requested by the interaction request.

[0043] The interaction type may include, but is not limited to, an interaction form or an interaction mode. The interaction form may include, but is not limited to, an action performed by the character or a sound played by the character, and the interaction mode may include, but is not limited to, a current mode of the character.

[0044] The mode may include, but is not limited to, a plurality of modes of imitative human emotions, for example, a shy mode, an upset mode, a scared mode, and a cute mode.

[0045] For example, in FIG. 9, different positions of the touch panel are set for different interaction forms (for example, dancing or singing). Moreover, in FIG. 10, different positions of the touch panel are set for different modes of imitative human emotions (for example, a shy mode and a cute mode).

[0046] The interactive control method further includes: adjusting, by the holographic projection device, an affection parameter of the holographic projection-based virtual character; and in a case that it is determined that the affection parameter reaches a target value, controlling, by the holographic projection device, a character response mode of the holographic projection-based virtual character, and / or, enabling, by the holographic projection device, a hidden skill of the holographic projection-based virtual character in a virtual scene.

[0047] It should be noted that in this embodiment of this application, an execution time of the adjusting, by the holographic projection device, an affection parameter of the holographic projection-based virtual character is not limited, which, for example, may be performed when controlling the holographic projection-based virtual character to perform an interactive action matching the interaction request.

[0048] The affection parameter may be indicated by using a number or in a form such as the number of red hearts or an energy value. The hidden skill may include, but is not limited to, a new animation, a new sound or a new phase. For example, the hidden skill is a new animation. After the affection parameter reaches a particular value, the character may be allowed to play the new animation. In a case that the affection parameter does not reach the particular value, the character is not allowed to play the new animation.

[0049] According to this embodiment, a holographic projection device performs a method in which a touch operation is obtained by using a touch panel so as to recognize the touch operation, an interaction request is generated according to the recognized touch operation, and an interactive action matching the interaction request is performed according to the interaction request. In the foregoing method, the holographic projection device can be directly controlled by using a touch operation received by a touch panel, thereby enriching instructions for controlling the holographic projection device, and improving the flexibility of the interaction with a holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0050] Based on the scenario described above, different implementations of the interactive control method provided in the embodiments of this application are described below in detail with reference to the scenario.

[0051] In an implementation, recognizing, by the holographic projection device, the touch operation performed on the touch panel disposed on the holographic projection device includes the following steps 1 and 2.

[0052] In step 1, the holographic projection device obtains the touch information generated by the interaction between the touch point corresponding to the touch operation and the touch panel.

[0053] In step 2, the holographic projection device recognizes the touch operation according to the touch information.

[0054] For example, the finger interacts with the touch panel. After the finger touches the touch panel, the position of the touch is the touch point. When the finger moves, the touch point will move accordingly. A movement trajectory of the touch point, touch action duration of the finger, and the position of the touch point are obtained and used as the touch information. The touch operation is recognized according to the touch information.

[0055] According to this embodiment, the touch information generated by the interaction between the touch point corresponding to the touch operation and the touch panel is obtained, and the touch operation is recognized according to the touch information, thereby improving the flexibility of controlling the holographic projection device.

[0056] In an implementation, the recognizing, by the holographic projection device, the touch operation according to the touch information includes the following steps 1 and 2.

[0057] In step 1, the holographic projection device determines, in a case that it is determined according to the touch information that the number of slide actions performed on the touch panel by the touch point is greater than a first threshold, that the touch operation indicates a caress operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character, the slide action being an action in which a movement distance of the touch point on the touch panel is greater than a second threshold.

[0058] In step 2, the holographic projection device determines, in a case that it is determined according to the touch information that the movement distance of the touch point on the touch panel is less than a third threshold and action duration of the touch point on the touch panel is less than a fourth threshold, that the touch operation indicates a pat operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0059] The first threshold, second threshold, third threshold, and fourth threshold may be, but not limited to, set according to empirical values. For example, the touch point is formed through contact between the finger and the touch panel. As shown in FIG. 3, after the finger touches the touch panel to form a touch point A, the finger moves from the touch point A to a touch point B, a movement distance being a. A relationship between a and the second threshold is determined, and in a case that a is greater than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates that the current operation is a slide operation. In a case that a is less than the third threshold, it indicates that the current operation is not a slide operation but is subject to determination with additional conditions. The action duration may include, but is not limited to, duration of existence of the touch point for a single time. For example, in a case that the finger touches the touch panel for one second, the action duration is one second.

[0060] Further, after it is determined that the current operation is a slide operation, in a case that a plurality of slide operations is received, the number of the received slide operations is determined. In a case that the number of the slide operations is greater than the first threshold, the holographic projection device may determine by calculation that the user performs a plurality of slide operations on the touch panel. In this case, the holographic projection device may determine that the user is performing a caress operation. In a case that the current operation is not a slide operation, and the action duration of the current operation is less than the fourth threshold, the holographic projection device may determine by calculation that the user performs a single short-time touch operation on the touch panel. In this case, the holographic projection device may determine that the user is performing a pat action.

[0061] According to this embodiment, the touch information is compared with the first threshold, second threshold, third threshold, and fourth threshold, so as to determine whether the current touch operation indicates a caress operation or a pat operation, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the current touch operation, and improving the flexibility of controlling the holographic projection device.

[0062] In an implementation, determining, by the holographic projection device, that the touch operation indicates a caress operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character includes the following steps 1 to 3.

[0063] In step 1, the holographic projection device obtains a first position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a first moment and a second position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a second moment, a time interval from the first moment to the second moment being a frame period.

[0064] In step 2, the holographic projection device recognizes, in a case that it is determined that a distance between the first position and the second position is greater than the second threshold, an action in which the touch point moves from the first position to the second position as a slide action, and adds one to the number of slide actions.

[0065] In step 3, the holographic projection device determines that the touch operation indicates a caress operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character in a case that it is determined that the number of slide actions is greater than the first threshold.

[0066] A case that the palm touches the touch screen is described with reference to FIG. 5. A touch panel is in a to-be-detected state (that is, S502). In this case, the palm touches the touch panel. It is determined in S504 whether the number of touch points is greater than 3, and in a case that the number of touch points is greater than 3, the coordinates of the touch points are recorded in S506. In this case, the coordinates of one of the touch points may be chosen and recorded, or the coordinates of all the touch points may be recorded. When the touch points disappear, it is determined in S508 whether the number of the touch points is greater than 3 before the touch points disappear, and in a case that the number of the touch points is greater than 3, coordinates where the touch points disappear are recorded in S510. In this case, a touch point whose start coordinates are recorded may be chosen and the disappearance coordinates of the touch point are recorded, or disappearance coordinates of all the touch points may be recorded. Start coordinates and disappearance coordinates of each touch point correspond to each other. A distance D between the start coordinates and the disappearance coordinates of a touch point is calculated in S512, and it is determined in S514 whether D is greater than the second threshold. In a case that D is greater than the second threshold, the number E of slide actions is incremented by one in S516. It is determined in S518 whether E is greater than the first threshold, and in a case that E is greater than the first threshold, it is determined that a currently performed action is a caress operation. In this process, in a case that the numbers of the touch points in S504 and S508 are not greater than 3 or after it is determined that the current action is a caress operation, S522 is performed, where E is reset to 0. It should be noted that the number 3 as referred to in determining whether the number of the touch points is greater than 3 may be set flexibly. In addition, the foregoing process is a process of determining whether the palm is performing a caress operation. In a case of determining whether the finger (or another part) is performing a caress operation, steps S504 and S508 in the process in FIG. 5 may be deleted, which is however not limited thereto, so that it is not necessary to determine whether the number of the touch points is greater than 3. In this case, it can be determined whether a current operation is a caress operation by the remaining steps in FIG. 5.

[0067] According to this embodiment, it is determined whether the current operation is a caress operation by using the foregoing method, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the current touch operation, and improving the flexibility of controlling the holographic projection device.

[0068] In an implementation, determining, by the holographic projection device, that the touch operation indicates a pat operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character includes the following steps 1 and 2.

[0069] In step 1, the holographic projection device obtains a third position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a third moment and a fourth position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a fourth moment.

[0070] In step 2, the holographic projection device determines, in a case that it is determined that a distance between the third position and the fourth position is less than the third threshold and a time interval from the third moment to the fourth moment is less than the fourth threshold, that the touch operation indicates a pat operation on the holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0071] For example, the description is provided below with reference to FIG. 6. For example, the touch operation is an operation performed on the touch panel by the palm. The touch panel is in a to-be-detected state (S602). After the palm touches the touch panel, it is determined in S604 whether the number of touch points is greater than 3, and in a case that the number of touch points is greater than 3, coordinates and a generation moment of one touch point or coordinates and generation moments of all the touch points are recorded in S606. It is determined in S608 whether the number of the touch points is equal to 0, and in a case that the number of the touch points is equal to 0, disappearance coordinates and a disappearance moment of the one touch point or disappearance coordinates and disappearance moments of all the touch points are recorded. A distance L between the coordinates of the touch point and a time interval T from the generation moment to the disappearance moment of the touch point are calculated in S610. It is determined in S612 whether L is less than the third threshold, and it is determined in S614 whether T is less than the fourth threshold. In a case that L is less than the third threshold and T is less than the fourth threshold, it is determined in S616 that the current operation is a pat operation. In a case that L is greater than or equal to the third threshold, or T is greater than or equal to the fourth threshold, or it is determined that the current action is a pat operation, the touch panel enters the to-be-detected state in S602 again. In addition, in a case that the touch point does not disappear in a detection process, the position of the touch point and a current moment are periodically recorded.

[0072] According to this embodiment, it is determined whether the current operation is a pat operation by using the foregoing method, thereby improving the accuracy of determining the current touch operation, and improving the flexibility of controlling the holographic projection device.

[0073] According to the invention, obtaining, by the holographic projection device, a fourth position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a fourth moment includes the following steps 1 to 5.

[0074] In step 1, the holographic projection device performs the following steps in each frame period after the third position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel is obtained, until it is detected that the touch operation is ended:

[0075] In step 2, the holographic projection device obtains a current position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a target moment in a current frame period, a time interval from the third moment to the target moment being N frame periods, N ≥ 1, N being an integer.

[0076] In step 3, the holographic projection device obtains, in a case that it is detected that the touch operation is not ended, a target position at which the touch point stays on the touch panel at a target moment in a next frame period of the current frame period, determines the target moment in the next frame period as the target moment in the current frame period, and determines the target position at which the touch point stays in the next frame period as the current position.

[0077] In step 4, the holographic projection device determines, in a case that it is detected that the touch operation is ended, the target moment in the current frame period as the fourth moment, and determines the current position as the fourth position.

[0078] In step 5, it is determined that the touch operation is ended in a case that an action region of the touch point on the touch panel is less than a fifth threshold.

[0079] For example, description is made with continued reference to an example in which the finger touches the touch panel. When the finger touches the touch panel, a current position of the touch point and a current time are obtained. In a case that the touch operation is not ended, a touch position and a touch time of the touch point in the next frame period are obtained until the touch operation is ended, and a touch position and a touch time at a moment before the touch operation is ended are obtained. The touch position at the moment before the touch operation is ended is determined as the fourth position, and the touch time at the moment before the touch operation is ended is determined as the fourth moment. Since an area of the touch point between the finger and the touch panel increases as finger pressure increases, it indicates that the touch operation is ended and the finger leaves the touch panel in a case that the area of the touch point is reduced to an empirical value.

[0080] According to the invention, the fourth moment and the fourth position are determined by using the foregoing method, thereby improving the accuracy of the fourth moment and the fourth position. The flexibility of controlling the holographic projection device is further improved.

[0081] In an implementation, after the recognizing the touch operation according to the touch information, the method further includes the following steps 1 and 2.

[0082] In step 1, the holographic projection device obtains an action region of interaction between the touch point and the touch panel.

[0083] In step 2, the holographic projection device determines, according to a position of the action region on the touch panel, interactive information requested by the interaction request.

[0084] For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the touch panel is divided into six regions, A, B, C, D, E, and F, and interactions in different regions correspond to different interactive information.

[0085] After the touch panel is divided into different regions, the sizes and shapes of the regions may be the same or different, and the number of the divided regions may be any positive number greater than or equal to 1.

[0086] According to this embodiment, the interactive information is determined according to the position of the action region of the interaction between the touch point and the touch panel on the touch panel, thereby improving the flexibility of controlling the holographic projection device.

[0087] In an implementation, the determining, by the holographic projection device according to a position of the action region on the touch panel, interactive information requested by the interaction request includes either or both of the following two steps (1) and (2).

[0088] In step (1), the holographic projection device determines, according to the position of the action region on the touch panel, a character part of the holographic projection-based virtual character for the interaction, and determines, according to the character part, the interactive information requested by the interaction request.

[0089] In step (2), the holographic projection device determines, according to the position of the action region on the touch panel, an interaction type of the interaction with the holographic projection-based virtual character, and determines, according to the interaction type, the interactive information requested by the interaction request.

[0090] The interaction type may include, but is not limited to, an interaction form or an interaction mode. The interaction form may include, but is not limited to, an action performed by the character or a sound played by the character, and the interaction mode may include, but is not limited to, a current mode of the character.

[0091] The mode may include, but is not limited to, a plurality of modes of imitative human emotions, for example, a shy mode, an upset mode, a scared mode, and a cute mode.

[0092] For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the touch panel is divided into six regions, and the regions respectively correspond to the head, the left arm, the right arm, the belly, the left leg, and the right leg. Touching different regions indicates interacting with different body parts of the character, for example, patting the head or caressing the belly. Alternatively, reference is made to FIG. 9 and FIG. 10. In FIG. 9, different positions of the touch panel are set for different interaction forms (for example, dancing or singing). Moreover, in FIG. 10, different positions of the touch panel are set for different modes of imitative human emotions (for example, a shy mode and a cute mode).

[0093] According to this embodiment, by means of differences between positions of action regions on the touch panel, a character part of the holographic projection-based virtual character for the interaction or an interaction type of the interaction is determined, thereby improving the flexibility of controlling the holographic projection device.

[0094] In an implementation, the controlling, by the holographic projection device, the holographic projection-based virtual character to perform an interactive action matching the interaction request includes at least one of the following steps (1) and (2).

[0095] In step (1), the holographic projection device controls the holographic projection-based virtual character to play an animation matching the interaction request.

[0096] In step (2), the holographic projection device controls the holographic projection-based virtual character to play an audio matching the interaction request.

[0097] The controlling the holographic projection-based virtual character to play an audio may include, but is not limited to, controlling a mouth of the holographic projection-based virtual character to change and simultaneously playing the audio by using a sound playing apparatus.

[0098] For example, after the holographic projection-based virtual character is projected, the holographic projection-based virtual character may be controlled to dance and perform an action, or the mouth of the holographic projection-based virtual character may be controlled to change and an audio is simultaneously played, to simulate that the holographic projection-based virtual character is making a sound.

[0099] According to this embodiment, the holographic projection-based virtual character is controlled to play an animation or play an audio, thereby improving the flexibility of the holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0100] In an implementation, the interactive control method further includes: adjusting, by the holographic projection device, an affection parameter of the holographic projection-based virtual character; and in a case that it is determined that the affection parameter reaches a target value, controlling, by the holographic projection device, a character response mode of the holographic projection-based virtual character, and / or, enabling, by the holographic projection device, a hidden skill of the holographic projection-based virtual character in a virtual scene.

[0101] The affection parameter may be indicated by using a number or in a form such as the number of red hearts or an energy value. The hidden skill may include, but is not limited to, a new animation, a new sound or a new phase. For example, the hidden skill is a new animation. After the affection parameter reaches a particular value, the character may be allowed to play the new animation. In a case that the affection parameter does not reach the particular value, the character is not allowed to play the new animation.

[0102] For example, the number of red hearts is used for indicating the affection parameter. After interaction with the holographic projection-based virtual character, the number of red hearts reaches a particular value. In this case, the holographic projection-based virtual character may make a new change. For example, the holographic projection-based virtual character may dance, sing, change clothes or the like.

[0103] According to this embodiment, it is determined according to the affection parameter, whether to enable the hidden skill of the holographic projection-based virtual character, thereby improving the flexibility of controlling the holographic projection device.

[0104] It should be noted that for ease of description, the foregoing method embodiments are described as a combination of a series of actions. However, a person skilled in the art shall appreciate that this application is not limited to the described sequence of the actions because according to this application, some steps may be performed in another sequence or may be simultaneously performed. In addition, it is to be understood by a person skilled in the art that the embodiments described in this specification are all preferred embodiments, and the actions and modules in the embodiments are not all necessary for this application.

[0105] According to another aspect of the embodiments of this application, a holographic projection device for implementing the foregoing interactive control method is further provided. In an implementation, as shown in FIG. 11, the holographic projection device includes: a touch panel 1102, configured to acquire touch information generated by a touch operation; a processor 1104, connected to the touch panel and the projection light engine, and configured to recognize the touch operation according to the touch information, generate an interaction request according to the recognized touch operation, the interaction request being used for requesting interaction with a holographic projection-based virtual character, and transmit the interaction request to the projection light engine; and a projection light engine 1106, configured to control the holographic projection-based virtual character to be projected onto the holographic projection film; and a holographic projection film 1108, configured to display the holographic projection-based virtual character, the projection light engine 1104 being further configured to control, according to the interaction request, the holographic projection-based virtual character to perform an interactive action matching the interaction request.

[0106] There may be one or a plurality of touch panels, but this application is not limited thereto. In a case that there are a plurality of touch panels, the touch panels may respectively correspond to different positions of the holographic projection-based virtual character, but this application is not limited thereto.

[0107] The processor may include, but is not limited to, a receiving module, configured to receive the touch information acquired by the touch panel 1102; a calculation module, configured to obtain the interactive action corresponding to the touch information by performing computation according to the received touch information; a storage module, configured to store the interactive action that may be performed by the holographic projection-based virtual character; and a transmitter, configured to transmit animation information corresponding to the interactive action performed by the holographic projection virtual character according to the touch information to the projection light engine. After obtaining the animation information, the projection light engine projects the animation information onto the holographic projection film, to display the animation information of the holographic projection-based virtual character.

[0108] The holographic projection device may be applied to, but is not limited to, a process of interacting with the holographic projection-based virtual character in the holographic projection device. For example, the holographic projection device may be applied to a process of interacting with a projected holographic virtual cartoon figure, or be applied to a process of interacting with a projected holographic virtual building.

[0109] An example in which the holographic projection device is applied to the process of interacting with a projected holographic virtual cartoon figure is used below for description of the holographic projection device. FIG. 12 shows two physical pictures of a holographic projection device. In FIG. 12, a region of a touch panel of the holographic projection device on the left may be touched by a hand, so as to generate touch information. After obtaining the touch information, the holographic projection device makes a determination based on the touch information. For example, transient light-touch information is obtained, and a storage position is searched based on such information for an action of a cartoon figure corresponding to the touch information, or a determination is performed based on the obtained transient light-touch information, so as to determine the action of the cartoon figure corresponding to the transient light-touch information, thereby projecting the action corresponding to the transient light-touch information onto the holographic projection film. For example, with reference to the cartoon figure in the holographic projection device on the right in FIG. 12, the holographic projection device projects an animation of the cartoon figure being knocked down when receiving the transient light-touch information, thereby achieving interaction between a user and the cartoon figure.
