[0021] In related technologies, the conditions for sending resources to a user are often limited to within the application. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a solution for sending resources to a user among applications, that is, the first application triggers the start of the resource sending process, and the second application completes the sending of the resources, guiding the user to log in to multiple applications to improve the usage rate of the applications.

[0022] FIG. 1 shows a flowchart of an interaction method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the interaction method of this embodiment includes steps S102 to S108.

[0023] In step S102, a first virtual object and one or more second virtual objects corresponding one-to-one to one or more applications are displayed on the first interface of the first application.

[0024] The first application may be any type of application on mobile devices such as smartphones, laptops, personal digital assistants (PDAs), tablet computers (tablet PCs), PMPs (portable multimedia players), in-car terminals (e.g., in-car navigation terminals), and wearable devices, as well as on fixed terminals such as digital televisions and desktop computers. The first interface is an interface in the first application and is used to trigger the process of sending resources to the user.

[0025] The first virtual object may be a static image, a dynamic image, or a user-interactive object that can provide feedback from user actions. For example, after a user clicks, the first virtual object can perform a specified action or stamp. The first virtual object may be displayed as any image, such as a human figure or an animal figure.

[0026] The second virtual object may be a static image, a dynamic image, or a user-interactive object, and may be displayed with any image. In some embodiments, the image types of the second virtual object and the first virtual object may be different in order to clearly distinguish them from each other. For example, the first virtual object may be a human figure or an animal figure, while the second virtual object may be a building figure. The specific images of the different second virtual objects may be different to indicate that they correspond to different applications. To more clearly represent the correspondence between the second virtual image and the application, the second virtual image may include one or more of the application's markers, such as the application's name, icon, or color scheme.

[0027] If there are multiple applications corresponding to the second virtual object, the second virtual object may include a second virtual object corresponding to the first application, and the target virtual object is not a second virtual object corresponding to the first application.

[0028] In step S104, the interaction between the first virtual object and the target virtual object, which is one or more second virtual objects, is controlled in response to the user's specified operation.

[0029] A user-specified operation includes, for example, at least one of the following: a trigger operation on a specified control, a trigger operation on a target virtual object, a specified gesture operation, and an operation of shaking the user's terminal. Other types of operations may also be used as needed, but their description is omitted here.

[0030] The target virtual object is a second virtual object triggered after the user performs a specified operation, and this trigger is completed by interaction with the first virtual object. The target virtual object may be determined before the user performs the specified operation, for example, randomly, or selected based on specified conditions, and the user may know the result by displaying it on the first interface (for example, by adding a special indicator), or the user may not be notified of the result, or the target virtual object may be determined in response to the user performing the specified operation, for example, by randomly selecting the target virtual object from the second virtual object after the user performs the specified operation, or by selecting the target virtual object from the second virtual object based on a certain trigger probability (or weight).

[0031] After a specified operation is triggered, the first virtual object can automatically interact with the target virtual object. The interaction effect between the first and second virtual objects can be represented in multiple visualizations. For example, the first virtual object may be controlled to move to the region where the target virtual object is located, one or more second virtual objects; or, for example, the first and second virtual objects may be connected; or, for example, visual effects may be added to the first and second virtual objects. Other interaction methods may be employed in this art as needed, and are not described here.

[0032] In step S106, in response to the interaction between the first virtual object and the target virtual object, the second interface of the second application corresponding to the target virtual object is displayed.

[0033] The display of the second interface may be triggered directly or indirectly in response to the interaction between the first virtual object and the target virtual object. An indirect triggering method is, for example, to send a jump prompt to the user before jumping to the second application, and then display the second application after the user confirms the jump.

[0034] The second application is different from the first application, but both reside on the user's terminal. A jump function between applications allows the user to jump from the first interface in the first application to the second interface in the second application. The second interface may be similar to the first interface, for example, and may include the first virtual object and one or more second virtual objects. This also allows the user to trigger a resource transmission process in the second application through a specified operation.

[0035] In step S108, the first resource is sent to the user.

[0036] After the second application is displayed, it may be indicated that the user has already completed the application jump, and at this time the first resource may be sent to the user. The first resource, or any other resource referred to in this disclosure, may be a virtual resource or a real resource. Sending the first resource to the user may be done by assigning the first resource to the user, for example the user may view the assignment result from the location of the resources obtained by the user, the user's account, etc.

[0037] Alternatively, the first resource may be delivered to the user by visualizing the content prompt. For example, it could be indicated that the user has already obtained the text of the first resource, or a progress bar could be used to show the resources the user has accumulated.

[0038] The first resource may include resources corresponding to the second application. For example, each application may have a specified number of resources pre-configured, and when a user jumps to the second application (i.e., triggers the second application) using interaction between the first virtual object and the target virtual object, the specified number of resources corresponding to the second application are obtained. Of course, there may be differences in the amount of resources corresponding to each application, and the number of resources corresponding to triggered applications may increase sequentially as the number of triggered applications increases, rather than being predetermined. The implementation method of the first resource is not limited to the above example, and will not be explained here.

[0039] In the above embodiment, the first application triggers interaction between virtual objects, which in turn triggers the display of the second application corresponding to the target virtual object, and the second application sends resources to the user. This improves the usage rate of the second application through guidance from the first application. Furthermore, by using a triggering method that utilizes interaction between virtual elements, the user's comprehension cost is reduced, the user's information acquisition efficiency is improved, and the convenience of user operation is enhanced.

[0040] Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a first interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2, the first interface 2 includes a first virtual object 21 and second virtual objects 221 to 227 corresponding to applications 1 to 7. The first virtual object 21 is exemplary represented by a human figure, and the second virtual objects 221 to 227 are exemplary represented by building figures. If necessary, those skilled in the art may use other images to represent these virtual objects, which are not described herein.

[0041] The first interface 2 may further include a trigger control 23, where the specified operation is, for example, an operation in which the user triggers the control 23. In such a case, the triggered target virtual object is determined automatically rather than being specified by the user. Two decision strategies are described below as examples.

[0042] In some embodiments, in response to user-specified operations, the system controls the interaction between the first virtual object and a target virtual object among one or more second virtual objects based on a trigger probability corresponding to each second virtual object. The trigger probability may be determined based on the user's login information for one or more applications, which may be the number of logins or login duration within a specified time period, for example, the number of logins or login duration within the most recent specified time period, and the trigger probability is negatively correlated with the number of logins or login duration. That is, applications that the user does not use often are triggered as much as possible. Alternatively, the trigger probability for one or more second virtual objects is equal, i.e., the triggered application is determined randomly.

[0043] In some embodiments, the target virtual object corresponds to an application that the user has not logged into within a specified time period. An application that the user has not logged into within a specified time period may be considered an inactive application, and by directly determining a second virtual object corresponding to the inactive application as the target virtual object, the jump to the inactive application can be preferentially triggered, thereby improving the utilization of the inactive application. In such cases, an indicator for additional resources may be displayed in the area where the target virtual object is located. After the second application is displayed, the additional resources may be sent to the user. For example, in the first interface 2 of Figure 2, if the user has not logged into application 4 within a specified time period, the second virtual object 224 corresponding to application 4 may be directly determined as the target virtual object, and an indicator for additional resources 24 is additionally displayed on the second virtual object 224. As a result, after the user performs a specified operation, they jump to application 4, and after application 4 is displayed, the first resources and additional resources are sent to the user.

[0044] The first interface 2 may further include a resource transmission progress control 25, which includes a progress bar 251 for representing the cumulative resources already sent to the user. Each time a resource is sent to the user, the cumulative resources can be updated to make the display of the progress bar 251 more accurate. The progress control 25 may further include progress node indicators, for example, progress node indicators 252. Thereafter, each time the cumulative resources reach a number corresponding to a progress node indicator, the user can extract the resources.

[0045] To improve the overall utilization of multiple applications, the target virtual object is a second virtual object corresponding to an untriggered application. For distinction, the second virtual object corresponding to a triggered application and the second virtual object corresponding to an untriggered application may be in different display states. In some embodiments, each of the one or more second virtual objects is in a first or second display state and controls the interaction between the first virtual object and the target virtual object in the first display state among the one or more second virtual objects in response to a user-specified operation, where the target virtual object is in the second display state after sending the first resource to the user.

[0046] Different display states are distinguished, for example, by brightness; the brightness of a second virtual object in its first display state is lower than its brightness in its second display state. This intuitively communicates to the user the task of "lighting up" the second virtual object, thus triggering the application.

[0047] Figures 3A-3B show schematic diagrams of the first interface according to some other embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 3A, the interface layout of the first interface 3 is similar to that of the first interface 2, except that the display states of some second virtual objects in the first interface 3 differ from some others. In the first interface 3, suppose applications 3, 5, 6, and 7 are triggered, and the second virtual objects 323, 325, 326, and 327 corresponding to these applications are in a second display state (represented by dark colors), for example, lit (triggered), and applications 1, 2, and 4 are not triggered, and the second virtual objects 321, 322, and 324 corresponding to these applications are in a first display state (represented by bright colors), for example, not lit (not triggered).

[0048] After the user triggers control 33, the interaction between the first virtual object 31 and the target virtual object 324 is controlled to trigger the display of application 4, and after application 4 is displayed, the first resource is sent to the user. When the first interface 3 is redisplayed, the second virtual object 324 in the first interface 3 may be in a second display state, as shown in Figure 3B.

[0049] Before displaying the second application, a query may be sent to the user, and if user confirmation is obtained, the display of the second application may proceed. For example, in response to an interaction between the first virtual object and the target virtual object, a jump control may be displayed, and in response to the jump control being triggered, the second interface of the second application corresponding to the target virtual object may be displayed. For example, as shown in Figure 3C, the first virtual object 31 may be controlled to move to the area where the target virtual object 324 is located after the user triggers control 33. Then, as shown in Figure 3D, a jump control 36 is displayed on a higher layer of the first interface 3 for user confirmation. In response to the user clicking the jump control 36, the second application may be displayed. If the second application is not installed on the user's terminal, a download page or download link for the second application may be displayed.

[0050] The second application may include an interface similar to the first interface of the first application. In some embodiments, the second interface includes a first virtual object and one or more second virtual objects, where the target virtual object is in a first display state in the first interface and a second display state in the second interface. For each second virtual object other than the target virtual object, the display state of the second virtual object is consistent in the first interface and the second interface. This allows the user to continuously trigger the target virtual object in the second application, thereby triggering the display of the third application.

[0051] Figure 4A shows a schematic diagram of a second interface according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 4A, the layout of the second interface 4 of application 4 may be similar to the layout of the first interface 3. However, because the user has jumped from the first interface to the second interface, resources have been sent to the user, and the resource value corresponding to the progress bar 451 of the progress control 45 of the second interface 4 has increased compared to the resource value corresponding to the progress bar 351 of the progress control 35 of the first interface 3 in Figure 3A, reflecting the result of sending the first resources to the user.

[0052] Furthermore, in the first interface 3 and the second interface 4, the display states of the second virtual objects 321, 322, 323, 325, 326, and 327 match, but the display state of the second virtual object corresponding to application 4 is transformed, i.e., achieves the effect of being "lit up". In the second interface 4, the user can still trigger the resource transmission process for the next round. For example, by triggering control 43, the first virtual object 41 is further interacted with the target virtual object among the second virtual objects 421 or 422 that are not lit up (i.e., not triggered), thereby triggering the display of application 1 or application 2. Similarly, application 1 or application 2 may also have similar interfaces and functions, which are omitted from this description.

[0053] In some embodiments, additional resources may be displayed in a floating layer when they are to be sent to the user. As shown in Figure 4B, a floating layer may be displayed above the second interface 4, and the contents of the additional resources and the confirmation control 46 may be displayed within it. In response to the user triggering the confirmation control 46, the floating layer may be cleared and the interface shown in Figure 4A may be displayed.

[0054] In the second interface, a second resource is sent to the user in response to the fact that one or more second virtual objects are all in a second display state. For example, if all second virtual objects 421-427 are "lit," an additional second resource may be sent to the user. This can improve the overall utilization of multiple applications.

[0055] The following describes embodiments of the relevant devices and equipment of this disclosure with reference to Figures 5-7.
