[0027] In a possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the virtual character acquisition interface may include, but is not limited to, a game interface of the game application that allows the acquisition of a virtual character, and the display of the virtual character acquisition interface may be triggered through an interaction operation by a current account logged into the game application, and may further include, but is not limited to, triggering after the current account completes a preset task, and may further include, but is not limited to, triggering when the virtual resources owned by the current account meet a preset condition. Illustratively, taking the virtual character acquisition method as an example applied to a game application, FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a method for acquiring a selectable virtual character according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in FIG. 3, the virtual character acquisition interface may be displayed through, but is not limited to, the following manners: S1, display a game screen 302 in which the current account is playing a game, the game screen 302 includes an interaction object 304, which is used to trigger and display the above virtual character acquisition interface.

[0028] In a possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the shape of the virtual interaction object can include many types, for example, it can be displayed as a virtual circular area, a virtual rectangular area, a virtual triangular area, etc., but is not limited thereto, as long as it can be allowed to be arranged as multiple interaction areas.

[0029] In addition, the above virtual interaction object includes multiple interaction areas, the areas of which may be the same or different, and can be flexibly arranged according to actual needs. For example, a small interaction area may be arranged corresponding to a valuable virtual creature attribute, and a large interaction area may be arranged corresponding to an ordinary virtual creature attribute.

[0030] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiments of the present application, each of the above-mentioned interaction areas is associated with a virtual creature attribute, and multiple interaction areas corresponding to multiple virtual creature attributes may be understood to mean that each interaction area corresponds to one type of virtual creature attribute, and further, some interaction areas correspond to the same virtual creature attribute and the remaining interaction areas correspond to other types of virtual creature attributes different from the former, which may include, but is not limited to, at least two different types of virtual creature attributes.

[0031] In one possible implementation manner, the attribute types of the above virtual creature attributes can include many kinds, such as, but not limited to, time attributes, regional attributes, component attributes, eating habits, and other creature attributes, and each of the multiple interaction areas corresponds to one type of virtual creature attribute, and each interaction area among the multiple interaction areas corresponds to one virtual creature attribute among the above one type of virtual creature attributes.

[0032] For example, taking the above-mentioned first type of virtual creature attribute as an example of a time attribute, the multiple virtual creature attributes can include, but are not limited to, day, night, or spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

[0033] For example, FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram of a method for obtaining other types of selectable virtual characters according to an embodiment of the present application. Taking a multiple virtual creature attributes including day and night as an example, the above-mentioned virtual interaction object can be displayed through, but is not limited to, the following manner: In FIG. 4, the upper sign A, the left sign B, and the right sign C indicate that the corresponding virtual creature attribute is day, and the lower sign D indicates that the corresponding virtual creature attribute is night. In this case, the area 402 consisting of signs A, B, and C is one interaction area among the above-mentioned multiple interaction areas, and the area 404 to which sign D corresponds is another interaction area among the above-mentioned multiple interaction areas.

[0034] For further example, FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a method for obtaining another selectable virtual character according to an embodiment of the present application. Taking different virtual creature attributes as an example, including spring, summer, autumn and winter, the above-mentioned virtual interaction object can be displayed through, but not limited to, the following manner: In FIG. 5, the upper sign A indicates that the corresponding virtual creature attribute is spring, the right sign C indicates that the corresponding virtual creature attribute is summer, the lower sign D indicates that the corresponding virtual creature attribute is autumn, and the left sign B indicates that the corresponding virtual creature attribute is winter. In this case, sign A, sign B, sign C, and sign D correspond to area 502, area 504, area 506, and area 508, respectively, and the above areas 502, 504, 506, and 508 are each one interaction area among the above multiple interaction areas and correspond to different virtual creature attributes.

[0035] The above are merely illustrative and do not limit any of the embodiments of the present application.

[0036] In a possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the target interaction manner is an interaction manner corresponding to the attribute type of the multiple virtual creature attributes, and taking the attribute type of the virtual creature attribute as an example, the virtual interaction object may be arranged as a clock mode, and in this case, the target interaction manner may be a manner of rotating the hour hand of the clock to realize a selection operation performed on a first interaction area among the multiple interaction areas. Taking the attribute type of the virtual creature attribute as an example, the virtual interaction object may be arranged as an element floating mode, and grabbing the floating element on the virtual interaction object to realize a selection operation performed on a first interaction area among the multiple interaction areas.

[0037] For example, FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of a method for obtaining another selectable virtual character according to an embodiment of the present application. Taking the attribute type of the virtual creature attribute as a time attribute and the multiple virtual creature attributes including day and night as an example, the target interaction manner can be realized through, but is not limited to, the following manners: As shown in FIG. 6, the upper sign, the left sign, and the right sign in FIG. 6 indicate that the corresponding virtual creature attribute is day, and the lower sign indicates that the corresponding virtual creature attribute is night. In this case, by dragging the roulette pointer, the roulette pointer rotates clockwise to the lower right corner, and the interaction area indicated by the roulette pointer is the above-mentioned first interaction area. In this case, it indicates that the first virtual creature attribute of the currently acquired virtual character is the night virtual creature attribute.

[0038] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the selection operation is used to indicate selecting the first interaction area, and it may be understood that selecting a first virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area achieves the purpose of obtaining a first virtual character having a first virtual creature attribute.

[0039] In one possible implementation manner, in an embodiment of the present application, the virtual creature attributes of the virtual characters in the target virtual character set are all first virtual creature attributes, and if there is only one virtual character in the target virtual character set, the virtual character is the first virtual character, and if there are multiple virtual characters in the target virtual character set, one virtual character is randomly selected from the target virtual character set as the first virtual character.

[0040] In addition, what is actually selected by the above selection operation is a target virtual character set. When the target virtual character set includes multiple virtual characters, the first virtual character can be determined randomly or according to the number of virtual resources owned by the current account, thereby allowing the user to affect the result of acquiring the virtual character, and further improving the interest of the process of acquiring the virtual character, thereby optimizing the user's usage experience and improving the efficiency of the user's acquiring the virtual character.

[0041] In this embodiment, a virtual interaction object for acquiring a virtual character is displayed on the virtual character acquisition interface, the virtual interaction object includes a plurality of interaction areas, each interaction area is associated with a virtual creature attribute, and the plurality of interaction areas correspond to a plurality of virtual creature attributes; a selection operation is acquired for a first interaction area among the plurality of interaction areas according to a target interaction manner, where the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is a first virtual creature attribute, and the target interaction manner corresponds to an attribute type of the plurality of virtual creature attributes; in response to the selection operation for the first interaction area, a first virtual character is acquired from a target virtual character set, and the acquired first virtual character is displayed, and the virtual creature attribute of the virtual character in the target virtual character set is the first virtual creature attribute. By arranging different interaction areas corresponding to different virtual creature attributes for the virtual interaction object, and further adopting a target interaction manner corresponding to the virtual creature attributes to select the first interaction area, the first virtual character in the target virtual character set can be obtained, and the interaction areas selected by different users may be different, thereby achieving the purpose of allowing users' discriminatory behaviors to affect the acquired virtual characters, thereby optimizing the user's usage experience and improving the acquisition efficiency of the virtual characters, and achieving the technical effect that users can affect the acquisition results of the virtual characters, and further solving the technical problems in the related art that the acquisition results of the virtual characters are difficult to control and the acquisition efficiency of the virtual characters is low.

[0042] In a possible implementation, the step of acquiring a first virtual character from a set of target virtual characters in response to a selection operation on the first interaction area includes: When the multiple virtual creature attributes are different time attributes, the step of acquiring a first virtual character from the target virtual character set in response to a selection operation on the first interaction area, wherein the first virtual creature attribute is a first time attribute, the different time attributes indicate different time periods, the first time attribute indicates a first time period, and the virtual characters having the virtual creature attribute of the first time attribute include at least one type of virtual characters that are allowed to be evolved and obtained in the first time period and virtual characters that are allowed to be used in the first time period.

[0043] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first virtual creature attribute is a first time attribute, which may be understood as the first interaction area being arranged to be associated with a first virtual character having the first time attribute, and when the selection operation of the target interaction manner selects the first interaction area, it starts obtaining the first virtual character in the target virtual character set.

[0044] In one possible implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the different time attributes indicate different time periods, which may be understood as different time periods consisting of day and night, or further, different time periods consisting of spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

[0045] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiments of the present application, the virtual characters whose virtual creature attributes are first time attributes include virtual characters that are allowed to evolve and be obtained in a first time period, which may be understood to mean that the virtual characters in the target virtual character set are allowed to evolve and be obtained in a first time period.

[0046] For example, virtual character A can evolve during the day to obtain virtual character B, and can also evolve at night to obtain virtual character C. In this case, when the selection operation of the target interaction method selects the first interaction area and the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is day, virtual character B is obtained, and when the selection operation of the target interaction method selects the first interaction area and the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is night, virtual character C is obtained.

[0047] In one possible implementation manner, in an embodiment of the present application, the virtual characters whose virtual creature attributes are first time attributes include virtual characters that are allowed to be used in a first time period, which may be understood to mean that the virtual characters in the target virtual character set can be used in the first time period.

[0048] For example, virtual character B can be used during the day and virtual character C can be used at night. In this case, when the selection operation of the target interaction method selects the first interaction area and the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is day, virtual character B is obtained, and when the selection operation of the target interaction method selects the first interaction area and the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is night, virtual character C is obtained.

[0049] The above are merely illustrative and do not limit any of the embodiments of the present application.

[0050] In one possible implementation, the step of acquiring a first virtual character from a set of target virtual characters in response to a selection operation on the first interaction area includes: When the multiple virtual creature attributes are different regional attributes, the method includes a step of acquiring a first virtual character from the target virtual character set in response to an interaction operation on the first interaction area, where the first virtual creature attribute is a first regional attribute and the different regional attribute indicates a different region, and the first regional attribute indicates the first region, and the virtual characters whose virtual creature attribute is the first regional attribute include at least one type of virtual characters that are allowed to evolve and be obtained in the first region and virtual characters that are allowed to be used in the first region.

[0051] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned first virtual creature attribute is a first regional attribute, which may be understood as the first interaction area being arranged to be associated with a first virtual character having the first regional attribute, and when the selection operation of the target interaction manner selects the first interaction area, it starts obtaining the first virtual character in the target virtual character set.

[0052] In one possible implementation, in the embodiment of the present application, the different regional attributes indicate different regions, which may be understood as different regions consisting of the land and ocean, or further different regions consisting of east, south, west and north.

[0053] In one possible implementation manner, in an embodiment of the present application, the virtual characters whose virtual creature attributes are first regional attributes include virtual characters that are allowed to evolve and be obtained in the first region, which may be understood to mean that the virtual characters in the target virtual character set are allowed to evolve and be obtained in the first region.

[0054] For example, virtual character A can evolve in a land area to obtain virtual character B, and can also evolve in an ocean area to obtain virtual character C. In this case, when the selection operation of the target interaction method selects the first interaction area and the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is a land area, virtual character B is obtained, and when the selection operation of the target interaction method selects the first interaction area and the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is an ocean area, virtual character C is obtained.

[0055] In one possible implementation manner, in an embodiment of the present application, the virtual characters whose virtual creature attributes are first regional attributes include virtual characters that are allowed to be used in the first region, which may be understood to mean that the virtual characters in the target virtual character set can be used in the first region.

[0056] For example, virtual character B can be used in a land area, and virtual character C can be used in an ocean area. In this case, when the selection operation of the target interaction method selects the first interaction area and the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is a land area, virtual character B is obtained, and when the selection operation of the target interaction method selects the first interaction area and the virtual creature attribute corresponding to the first interaction area is an ocean area, virtual character C is obtained.

[0057] The above are merely illustrative and do not limit any of the embodiments of the present application.

[0058] As a technical solution in one possible implementation, the step of acquiring a first virtual character from a set of target virtual characters in response to a selection operation on the first interaction area includes: If the plurality of virtual creature attributes are different time attributes and region attributes, the step of acquiring a first virtual character from the target virtual character set in response to a selection operation on the first interaction area includes the step of: acquiring a first virtual character from the target virtual character set in response to a selection operation on the first interaction area, the first virtual creature attributes including a first time attribute and a first region attribute, the different time attributes indicating different time periods, the first time attribute indicating a first time period, the different region attributes indicating different regions, and the first region attribute indicating a first region; A virtual character whose virtual creature attributes are a first time attribute and a first region attribute is A virtual character that is allowed to evolve and be obtained in a first time zone and a first region; a virtual character that is permitted to be evolved and obtained in a first time zone and that is permitted to be used in a first region; a virtual character that is permitted to be used in the first time zone and that is permitted to be evolved and obtained in the first region; and a virtual character permitted for use in the first time zone and the first region.

[0075] Illustratively, FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of a method for obtaining another selectable virtual character according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 7, the virtual roulette includes a virtual roulette pointer 702, an interaction area 704, and an interaction area 706, the virtual roulette pointer 702 is arranged to rotate clockwise on the virtual roulette, the interaction area 704 corresponds to one kind of virtual creature attribute, and the interaction area 706 corresponds to one kind of virtual creature attribute.

[0088] The above are merely illustrative and do not limit any of the embodiments of the present application.

[0089] In addition, there may be various triggering methods for displaying the virtual interaction object for acquiring a virtual character in the virtual character acquisition interface, for example, a method of triggering after the account completes a preset task, or a method of triggering when the virtual resources held by the account satisfy a preset condition.

[0091] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiments of the present application, the task attribute of the above-mentioned pre-defined task corresponds to an attribute type, which may be understood as the attribute associated with the attribute type. For example, in a situation where the attribute type of the virtual creature attribute is a time attribute, the task attribute may be arranged as a time attribute related to the task, such as the length of time the task lasts, the time point at which the task is completed, etc.

[0092] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the completion result of the preset task may include, but is not limited to, the completion progress of the preset task, the completion level of the preset task, etc., and the task type of the preset task may include, but is not limited to, the virtual creature attributes indicated by the preset task, the target virtual character set, etc.

[0095] For example, FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram of another method for acquiring a selectable virtual character according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 10, after the current account accepts the preset task, a preset task indicator 1002 and a task completion progress bar are displayed on the game screen. When the preset task is configured to acquire virtual resources that satisfy a preset condition, the task completion progress bar is continuously updated as the current account acquires the virtual resources.

[0096] The above are merely illustrative and do not limit any of the embodiments of the present application.

[0097] As a technical solution in one possible implementation manner, the step of displaying a virtual interaction object for acquiring a virtual character on a virtual character acquisition interface according to a task attribute of a preset task includes: When the task attribute indicates a task type of a preset task, if a completion result of the preset task indicates a first task type, displaying a virtual interaction object on the virtual character acquisition interface, where the plurality of virtual creature attributes include different virtual creature attributes belonging to a first attribute type; and when the task attributes indicate a task type of a preset task, and a completion result of the preset task indicates a second task type, displaying a virtual interaction object on the virtual character acquisition interface, wherein the plurality of virtual creature attributes include different virtual creature attributes belonging to a second attribute type, the first task type is different from the second task type, and the first attribute type is different from the second attribute type.

[0098] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the above-mentioned multiple pre-defined task types may include, but are not limited to, multiple task types pre-defined by the system, each task type corresponding to one type of virtual creature attribute, and the above-mentioned task types may include, but are not limited to, time-limited tasks (to be completed within a pre-defined time length), map-running tasks (controlling the virtual character to move on the game map until all points required by the pre-defined tasks are traversed), etc.

[0099] For example, FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a method for acquiring a virtual character in another possible implementation manner according to an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 11, after the current account accepts the preset task, a preset task indicator 1102 and a task type are displayed on the game screen. If the preset task is set as a time-limited task, a button 1104 for triggering and displaying a virtual interaction object is displayed on the game screen along with the current account continuing to execute the preset task until the condition of the time-limited task is met. In this case, an interaction operation is performed on the button 1104. When the preset task is arranged as a map running task, a button 1106 for triggering and displaying a virtual interaction object is displayed on the game screen as the current account continues to execute the preset task until the condition of the map running task is met, in this case, the virtual interaction object is triggered and displayed by executing an interaction operation on the button 1106, and the multiple virtual creature attributes include different virtual creature attributes belonging to a region attribute. In this case, the first attribute type may be a time attribute, and the second attribute type may be a region attribute.

[0100] The above are merely illustrative and do not limit any of the embodiments of the present application.

[0101] In one possible implementation, the step of obtaining a selection operation for a first interaction area among the plurality of interaction areas according to a target interaction manner includes: obtaining a directional control operation, the directional control operation being used to determine a first interaction area; The method includes a step of selecting the first interaction area and acquiring a selection operation for the first interaction area when the time length during which the directional control operation remains in the first interaction area exceeds a preset time length.

The preset time length may be preset by the system or controlled by the current account, for example, take a virtual joystick as an example, when the virtual joystick is rocked, the directional control operation starts to be performed, and when the virtual joystick is stopped rocking, the directional control operation stays in the first interaction area.

[0103] In one possible implementation, before the step of displaying a virtual interaction object for acquiring a virtual character in a virtual character acquisition interface, the method further includes: Obtaining an initial virtual character previously obtained by the current account; determining, in response to the initial virtual character, a virtual character type that the initial virtual character is allowed to evolve or use; and when the virtual character types indicate that at least two virtual character types are included that allow for evolution or use of the initial virtual character, determining a virtual interaction object, different interaction areas of the virtual interaction object corresponding to different virtual character types that allow for evolution or use of the initial virtual character, and the different virtual character types respectively corresponding to different virtual creature attributes.

[0104] In one possible implementation manner, in the embodiment of the present application, the initial virtual character may be associated with the pre-defined task, but is not limited to this, i.e., the pre-defined task is placed as the task to which the initial virtual character is associated, and the initial virtual character is used to determine a target virtual character set.

[0105] For example, FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram of a method for obtaining a virtual character in another possible implementation manner of an embodiment of the present application. As shown in FIG. 12, an initial virtual character is a virtual character previously obtained by a current account, and different interaction areas of the virtual interaction object are used to evolve the initial virtual character into a first virtual character or a second virtual character, and the type of the first virtual character and the type of the second virtual character are determined according to an evolution chain previously arranged for the initial virtual character.

[0106] The above are merely illustrative and do not limit any of the embodiments of the present application.

[0107] In one possible implementation, the step of obtaining a directional control operation includes: In a situation where a virtual interaction object is displayed, acquiring a directional control operation triggered by the virtual joystick; or In a situation where the virtual interaction object is displayed, the method includes a step of obtaining a directional control operation triggered by the virtual directional button.

[0108] In one possible implementation, in an embodiment of the present application, the virtual joystick can be rotated clockwise or counterclockwise to control and select a virtual interaction object, and the speed at which the virtual joystick is rotated can be related to the amplitude of the directional control operation.

[0109] In one possible implementation, in an embodiment of the present application, the virtual directional button can be pressed to control a virtual interaction object to perform a selection operation, and the strength of pressing the virtual directional button can be related to the amplitude of the directional control operation.

[0110] According to an embodiment of the present application, the manner of acquiring a user's virtual character can be optimized, so that the user can perform directional control operations through rotation speed or pressure strength, increasing the ways of playing the game and enriching the user's usage experience.

[0111] The present application will be further interpreted and explained in conjunction with the following specific examples.

[0112] The player can repair one broken clock by collecting task points, and after the repair is completed, the dial UI can be called up (corresponding to the virtual interaction object above). There are clear tick marks for day and night around the dial, and a single hour hand pointer in the middle (in this case, the virtual interaction object is a virtual clock roulette, i.e., the dial, the hour hand pointer is a virtual clock roulette pointer, and the area corresponding to each tick mark is the interaction area). The player can rotate the pointer by gesture (mobile platform) / joystick (handle), and when the hand is released, if the hour hand points to night time, the game character with night biological habits will evolve, and if it points to day time, the game character with day biological habits will be unlocked.

[0113] During the process of the player rotating the pointer, when the pointer lands on a different area, the dial has a different animation appearance (ie, display special effects) that suggests the difference in the outcome.

[0114] After the player raises their hand / releases the joystick, different character unlock feedback is given depending on where the pointer rests: 1. The pointer rests in the upper half of the dial (day), unlocking branching aspects that can only evolve during the day; 2. The pointer rests in the lower half of the dial (night), unlocking branching aspects that can only evolve during the night.

[0115] Fig. 13 is a schematic diagram of another method for obtaining a selectable virtual character according to an embodiment of the present application, the complete flow of the present invention is shown in Fig. 13, the flow is initiated by the player operating and moving the pointer, the client gives feedback based on the state of the pointer and sends data to the background, the background verifies and processes the data, and then returns it to the client for corresponding presentation. Note that the client may be installed on the terminal device, and the background may be a server providing services for the client.

[0116] Specifically, the steps include, but are not limited to, the following: S1, start. S2, repeat the operation guidance animation. S3, determining whether the pointer starts to rotate. S4, stop the guidance animation. S5, determine that the pointer is in interval A. S6, play UI animation A. S7, determines that the pointer is in section B. S8, play UI animation B. S9: It is determined whether the rotation of the pointer has stopped. S10, stop UI animation. S11, the coordinates of the pointer are sent to the server. S12: The character ID corresponding to the coordinates is inquired. S13: The character ID is returned to the client. S14 will display the character unlock UI. S15, finished.

[0117] Through animations, players can be guided to interact with the dial, which on mobile platforms is represented as a sliding finger, while on the NX platform it is a rotation of a joystick, and the animation will be played repeatedly until the player rotates the pointer.

[0118] The upper half of the dial (0-90° & 270°-360°) is section A, which represents daytime, and the lower half of the dial (90°-270°) is section B, which represents nighttime. When the pointer is in section A, animation A (orange light effect) is played, suggesting evolution into a branching form of day attribute, and when the pointer is in section B, animation B (blue light effect) is played, suggesting evolution into a branching form of night attribute.

[0119] After the player stops the operation, the client determines the section to which the pointer belongs based on the angle of the pointer and uploads the data to the server. The server queries the character ID corresponding to the section data and returns it to the client. The client displays the corresponding character unlock UI.

[0120] Through this embodiment, the biological habit characteristics of the game characters can be enhanced, and the players' cognition of the game characters can be deepened. The dimension of character unlocking provides players with free operation space, increases the players' freedom of character selection, enhances the sense of connection between the game and the real world, and provides topics of conversation, which makes players more proactive in studying the unlocking mechanism, generates interaction and communication with others, and activates the social atmosphere.
