[0032] The inventors discovered that existing methods for users to control virtual characters and non-player characters in interactive multimedia content are limited. For example, the content of user-controlled dialogues between virtual characters and non-player characters is pre-set, relatively fixed, and mechanical. Furthermore, the plot of the interactive multimedia is also pre-set, completely disconnected from the dialogue. This current interaction method results in relatively low efficiency and effectiveness.

[0033] In view of this, the present disclosure proposes an interaction method to improve the efficiency and effect of interaction.

[0034] Figure 1 is a flow chart of some embodiments of the interactive method disclosed herein. As shown in Figure 1 , the method of this embodiment includes steps S102 to S106.

[0035] In step S102 , a dialogue interface between the first virtual character and the second virtual character is displayed.

[0036] For example, the first virtual character and the second virtual character are virtual characters in interactive multimedia content, where the first virtual character is a user-controlled virtual character. The second virtual character may be a non-player character (NPC). For example, the interactive multimedia content may be a game, an interactive TV series, an interactive movie, etc., without limitation to these examples.

[0037] All relevant steps shown in this disclosure can be implemented through a graphical user interface (GUI).

[0038] In some embodiments, the dialog interface is displayed in response to a user trigger operation. The user trigger operation can be an operation to open interactive multimedia content, an operation to trigger a dialog control, or an operation such as voice wake-up, without limitation to the examples given.

[0039] In step S104, dialogue information between the user and the second virtual character is received.

[0040] The conversation interface may also display a conversation input area for receiving conversation information. Conversation information can be input in any form, such as text or voice. Users can engage in conversation with the second virtual character on any topic of interest, which may or may not be related to the plot, characters, etc. of the interactive multimedia content.

[0041] In step S106, information of at least one dimension of role attribute variables is determined based on the dialogue information.

[0042] The character attribute variables of at least one dimension affect the development of the plot of the interactive multimedia content. For example, when the information of the character attribute variables of at least one dimension is different, the plot of the interactive multimedia content will take different branches.

[0043] In some embodiments, the at least one dimension of character attribute variables includes at least one of a first dimension and a second dimension. The first dimension represents the relationship between the first virtual character and the second virtual character, and the second dimension represents the ability of the first virtual character. Conversations between the first virtual character and the second virtual character can affect both the relationship between the two and the ability of the first virtual character.

[0044] The character attribute variables of the first dimension may include one or more first variables. For example, the one or more first variables may include one or more positive emotion variables and / or one or more negative emotion variables. For example, positive emotion variables include favorability, intimacy, and trust, while negative emotion variables include alienation and hatred, etc., without limitation to these examples.

[0045] The character attribute variables of the second dimension may include one or more second variables, such as force value, health value, intelligence value, physical value, etc., which are used to represent one or more variables of the ability of the first virtual character.

[0046] The information about the role attribute variables of the first dimension can include at least one of the values, levels, changes, and change levels of one or more first variables. The information about the role attribute variables of the second dimension can include at least one of the values, levels, changes, and change levels of one or more second variables. The one or more first variables and one or more second variables can be quantified using numerical values ​​or levels, and are not limited to the examples given.

[0047] In the method of the above embodiment, a first virtual character controlled by a user can engage in a conversation with a second virtual character, displaying a conversation interface between the first and second virtual characters. In response to receiving conversation information input by the user with the second virtual character, information about at least one dimension of character attribute variables can be determined based on the conversation information, thereby influencing the development of the plot of the interactive multimedia content. Through the method of the above embodiment, the user can influence the character attribute variables and, in turn, the development of the plot of the interactive multimedia content through the interactive method of conversation with the second virtual character. Closely linking the interactive process with the plot of the interactive multimedia content makes it easier to attract users to interact, expands the interactive forms of the interactive multimedia content, and improves the effectiveness and efficiency of the interactive process.

[0048] In some embodiments, the second virtual character is a character having a preset relationship with the first virtual character, and in response to the user's calling operation on the second virtual character, a dialogue interface between the first virtual character and the second virtual character is displayed.

[0049] The preset relationship between the first virtual character and the second virtual character can be a positive relationship or a negative relationship. For example, the first virtual character and the second virtual character can have a positive relationship such as partners, lovers, allies, or a negative relationship such as enemies or rivals.

[0050] In some embodiments, the preset relationship between the first and second virtual characters is generated in response to a user's operation to establish a relationship between the first and second virtual characters. The user's selection of the second virtual character and the type of the preset relationship may be received, the preset relationship between the first and second virtual characters may be determined, and the preset relationship may be displayed.

[0051] Different types of preset relationships can be set for users to choose from. Users can flexibly select different virtual characters as the second virtual character and configure the preset relationship between the first and second virtual characters. For example, a relationship configuration interface is displayed, showing one or more configurable virtual characters, and receiving user operations such as setting virtual character A as the first virtual character's partner and virtual character B as the first virtual character's enemy.

[0052] A second virtual character that forms a different type of preset relationship with the first virtual character can be assigned to a different preset group. For example, upon receiving a user trigger to add the second virtual character to a selected preset group, a prompt message for adding the second virtual character to the preset group is displayed. For example, the prompt message for adding the second virtual character to the preset group may read "A becomes your partner." Information about one or more virtual characters in the preset group may also be displayed, such as the name, description, and / or image of the one or more virtual characters, without limitation to these examples.

[0053] In some embodiments, a user selection operation for a preset group is received, information of one or more virtual characters in the preset group is displayed, a user selection operation for a second virtual character is received, and a dialogue interface between the first virtual character and the second virtual character is displayed.

[0054] As the plot of the interactive multimedia content develops, different virtual characters may appear, and the direction of the plot affects the unlocked virtual characters. The user can select the virtual character that appears as the second virtual character and configure the preset relationship between the first virtual character and the second virtual character.

[0055] In some embodiments, in response to the interactive multimedia content reaching a second preset plot node and / or the first virtual character completing a preset task, a first control is displayed to add the second virtual character to a preset group, wherein adding the second virtual character to the preset group indicates that the first virtual character and the second virtual character form a preset relationship; a user triggering operation on the first control is received; and a prompt message to add the second virtual character to the preset group is displayed.

[0056] In some embodiments, in response to the user controlling the first virtual character to complete a preset task and / or the plot progresses to a second preset plot point in the interactive multimedia content, a second virtual character is unlocked and displayed. The second virtual character can be added to a preset group by the user triggering the first control, or automatically added to a preset group through the user's pre-configured configuration. For example, the user pre-configures target characteristics for virtual characters to be added to different preset groups, and if the unlocked second virtual character meets the target characteristics, it is automatically added to the corresponding preset group. For example, if the user configures a virtual character called a partner as the leader of the X camp, the unlocked virtual character will be added to the partner group if it meets this characteristic.

[0057] For example, in response to the interactive multimedia content reaching the second preset plot node and / or the first virtual character completing the preset task, a relationship configuration interface may be displayed, and a first control for adding the second virtual character to the preset group may be displayed in the relationship configuration interface. For example, one or more virtual characters are displayed in the relationship configuration interface, and a first control may be set after each virtual character. Alternatively, in response to the interactive multimedia content reaching the second preset plot node and / or the first virtual character completing the preset task, a display interface of the second virtual character may be displayed, and a first control may be displayed in the display interface of the second virtual character. Alternatively, in response to the interactive multimedia content reaching the second preset plot node and / or the first virtual character completing the preset task, the first control may be displayed in the current interface.

[0058] The first control can be displayed and triggered in any form, and is not limited here. For example, the image of the second virtual character that appears in the display interface of the interactive multimedia content can directly serve as the first control, and the user's click on the image of the second virtual character can serve as a trigger for the first control. In the case where only one preset relationship (or grouping) is configured, in response to the user's triggering of the first control, the second virtual character is directly added to the preset group, and a prompt message is displayed. In the case where multiple preset relationships are configured, in response to the user's triggering of the first control, multiple candidate preset relationships (or candidate preset groups) are displayed, the user's selection of a candidate preset relationship (or candidate preset grouping) is received, and a prompt message for adding the second virtual character to the selected candidate preset group is displayed.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 2 , a prompt message “A becomes your partner” may be displayed in the display interface of the second virtual character.

[0060] In some embodiments, a user operation on a second control of a preset group is received; information of one or more virtual characters in the preset group is displayed; a user selection operation on a second virtual character is received; and a dialogue interface between the first virtual character and the second virtual character is displayed.

[0061] In the case where there are multiple preset groups, the second controls of the multiple preset groups can be displayed, and the user's triggering operation on the second control of any preset group can be received to display the information of one or more virtual characters in the selected preset group. The information of each virtual character may include: at least one of: name, image, but is not limited to the examples given. As shown in Figure 3, in the display interface of multimedia content, a second control can be displayed, which can be displayed with the name of the preset group, such as "Partner". The user can click on the "Partner" control to display one or more virtual characters that have become partners with the first virtual character. As shown in Figure 4, after clicking on the "Partner" control, the avatars of multiple virtual characters can be displayed.

[0062] As shown in Figure 4, if the number of virtual characters in a preset group exceeds a threshold, some of the virtual characters may be displayed, for example, only a number of virtual characters equal to the threshold. The displayed virtual characters may be sorted by the order in which they were added to the preset group, by their relationship with the first virtual character, or by the number of interactions with the first virtual character. The remaining virtual characters may be hidden. A third control, such as the "All" control shown in Figure 4, may be provided to display information about some of the hidden virtual characters in response to a user triggering the third control.

[0063] As shown in FIG4 , in response to the user selecting a virtual character C as the second virtual character, a dialogue interface between the first virtual character and the second virtual character C is displayed.

[0064] In some embodiments, initial dialogue information of the second virtual character is displayed in the dialogue interface, wherein the initial dialogue information of the second virtual character is generated according to character setting information of the second virtual character.

[0065] As shown in Figure 4, the dialogue interface can also display a standing picture (or dynamic image), background, etc. of the second virtual character, and display the initial dialogue information of the second virtual character. The initial dialogue information of different second virtual characters is different, and can be generated based on the character setting information of the second virtual character. For example, the character setting information of the second virtual character is input into the machine learning model to generate the dialogue information of the second virtual character. For example, the character setting information may include: descriptive information of at least one of the character's background information, gender, personality, age, and language style, and is not limited to the examples given. The character setting information of the second virtual character can also be input into the machine learning model to generate a standing picture or dynamic image of the second virtual character, and the background information can be input into the machine learning model to generate the background, etc.

[0066] The machine learning model in the present disclosure may be an AI (Artificial Intelligence) model, a large model, etc., and specifically may be a neural network model, a deep learning model, a large language model (LLM), a generative model, etc. A generative model is, for example, AIGC (Artificial Intelligence Generated Content), which may be a text generation model, an image generation model, a video generation model, a speech generation model, or a multimodal generation model, etc., but is not limited to the examples given.

[0067] As shown in FIG4 , the dialogue interface may display a voice input control or a text input area for receiving dialogue information input by the user, and is not limited to the examples given.

[0068] In some embodiments, when the dialogue information is voice, voice recognition may be performed first to convert the voice into text, and information of at least one dimension of the role attribute variable may be determined based on the text corresponding to the dialogue information.

[0069] In some embodiments, determining information of at least one dimension of character attribute variables based on dialogue information includes: determining information of at least one dimension of character attribute variables based on dialogue information and one or more historical dialogue information between the first virtual character and the second virtual character.

[0070] When a conversation has already occurred between a first virtual character and a second virtual character, information about at least one dimension of a character attribute variable can be determined based on the currently input conversation information and one or more historical conversation messages. The one or more historical conversation messages can include historical conversation messages within a preset time period, a preset number of historical conversation messages, or historical conversation messages from the first conversation message after entering the conversation interface to the currently input conversation message, without limitation to these examples. Combining the currently input conversation information with the historical conversation messages allows for a more accurate understanding of the meaning of the conversation, thereby more accurately determining information about the at least one dimension of the character attribute variable.

[0071] FIG5 is a flow chart of some other embodiments of the interactive method disclosed herein. As shown in FIG5 , determining information of at least one dimension of role attribute variables based on the dialogue information includes: steps S502 to S504.

[0072] In step S502, the dialogue information is parsed to determine whether the dialogue information is associated with at least one dimension of a role attribute variable.

[0073] For example, a machine learning model can be used to understand the conversation information (and one or more historical conversation information) to determine whether the conversation information is associated with the role attribute variable of the first dimension and / or whether the conversation information is associated with the role attribute variable of the second dimension.

[0074] In step S504, when the dialogue information is associated with the role attribute variable of at least one dimension, a machine learning model is used to determine information of the role attribute variable of at least one dimension based on the dialogue information and prompt information corresponding to the role attribute variable of at least one dimension.

[0075] The prompt information corresponding to the role attribute variable of at least one dimension is used to assist the machine learning model in understanding the relationship between the dialogue information and the role attribute variable of at least one dimension, as well as the impact on the role attribute variable of at least one dimension.

[0076] In some embodiments, when the character attribute variables of at least one dimension include the character attribute variables of the first dimension, the prompt information includes the emotion influencing factor information and / or character setting information of the second virtual character; when the character attribute variables of at least one dimension include the character attribute variables of the second dimension, the prompt information includes the ability influencing factor information of the first virtual character.

[0077] For example, the emotional influencing factor information for the second virtual character includes at least one of a favorability example, a closeness example, a trust example, a distance example, and a hatred value example. For example, a favorability example can be text describing sentences, situations, and / or events that influence the second virtual character's favorability toward other virtual characters, and is not limited to these examples. Other examples are similar to the favorability example and are not detailed here.

[0078] For example, the information on factors influencing the ability of the first virtual character includes at least one of a force value example, a health value example, an intelligence value example, and a physical strength value example. For example, the force value example can be text describing a sentence, situation, and / or event that affects the force value of the second virtual character, and is not limited to these examples. Other examples are similar to the force value example and are not further described here.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the character attribute variables of at least one dimension include the character attribute variables of the first dimension, and the prompt information includes the emotional influencing factor information of the second virtual character, a machine learning model is used to determine the information of the character attribute variables of the first dimension based on the dialogue information and the emotional influencing factor information of the second virtual character.

[0080] The dialogue information (and one or more historical dialogue information) and the emotional influencing factor information of the second virtual character can be input into the machine learning model to obtain the output information of the first dimension of the character attribute variable.

[0081] In some embodiments, when the character attribute variables of at least one dimension include the character attribute variables of the first dimension, and the prompt information includes the emotional influencing factor information and character setting information of the second virtual character, a machine learning model is used to determine the information of the character attribute variables of the first dimension based on the dialogue information, the emotional influencing factor information of the second virtual character, and the character setting information of the second virtual character.

[0082] The dialogue information (and one or more historical dialogue information), the emotional influencing factor information of the second virtual character and the character setting information of the second virtual character can be input into the machine learning model to obtain the output information of the first dimension of the character attribute variable.

[0083] By combining dialogue information, information on emotional influencing factors of the second virtual character, and character setting information of the second virtual character, information on role attribute variables of the first dimension representing the relationship between the first virtual character and the second virtual character is determined, which improves accuracy and helps to improve the accuracy of subsequent determination of the plot development of the interactive multimedia content.

[0084] In some embodiments, when the character attribute variables of at least one dimension include the character attribute variables of the second dimension, and the prompt information includes the ability influencing factor information of the first virtual character, a machine learning model is used to determine the information of the character attribute variables of the second dimension based on the dialogue information and the ability influencing factor information of the first virtual character.

[0085] The conversation information (and one or more historical conversation information) and the information on the ability influencing factors of the first virtual character can be input into the machine learning model to determine the information of the role attribute variable of the second dimension.

[0086] Combining the dialogue information with the information on the factors influencing the ability of the first virtual character to determine the information on the second dimension of the character attribute variable representing the ability of the second virtual character improves accuracy and helps to improve the accuracy of subsequent determination of the plot development of the interactive multimedia content.

[0087] In the above embodiment, based on the dialogue information input by the user, the relationship between the first virtual character and the second virtual character and / or the ability of the second virtual character are affected, thereby affecting the plot development of the interactive multimedia content, which is conducive to increasing the user's interest and motivation for interaction and improving the frequency, effectiveness and effect of interactive interactions.

[0088] The user can have a dialogue with the second virtual character related to the plot, and in this case, it can also be processed accordingly.

[0089] In some embodiments, the dialogue information is parsed to determine whether the dialogue information is associated with the plot of the interactive multimedia content; if the dialogue information is associated with the plot of the interactive multimedia content, a machine learning model is used to determine information on the character attribute variable in at least one dimension based on the dialogue information, prompt information corresponding to the character attribute variable in at least one dimension, and summary information on the historical plot experienced by the first virtual character.

[0090] For example, a machine learning model can be used to understand the conversation information (and one or more historical conversation information) to determine whether the conversation information is relevant to the plot of the interactive multimedia content. For example, if the conversation information involves historical plots, characters (roles) in the interactive multimedia content, etc., the conversation information can be considered relevant to the plot of the interactive multimedia content.

[0091] The summary information of the historical plot may be extracted based on all the historical plots experienced by the first virtual character. For example, the summary of the historical plot includes event description information of each chapter experienced by the first virtual character.

[0092] The dialogue information (and one or more historical dialogue information), prompt information corresponding to at least one dimension of the character attribute variable, and summary information of the historical plot experienced by the first virtual character can be input into the machine learning model to obtain information of at least one dimension of the character attribute variable as output.

[0093] By combining dialogue information, historical plots, and prompt information corresponding to at least one dimension of character attribute variables, the interactive behavior and the plot can be more closely integrated, and the information of at least one dimension of character attribute variables can be more accurately determined, thereby more accurately influencing the development of the plot of the interactive multimedia content.

[0094] The specific content of the prompt information corresponding to the role attribute variable of at least one dimension, and the method for determining the role attribute variable of at least one dimension, can be referred to the combination of one or more of the above embodiments and will not be repeated here.

[0095] In some embodiments, information of at least one dimension of role attribute variables is displayed.

[0096] Information about at least one dimension of character attribute variables can be displayed in the dialogue interface. As shown in Figure 4, the dialogue interface can display the second virtual character's favorability toward the first virtual character, and can also display information about changes in favorability after the dialogue. The dialogue interface can also display information about changes in the first virtual character's strength, etc., without limitation to these examples.

[0097] Some further embodiments of the interaction method disclosed herein are described below in conjunction with FIG. 6 .

[0098] Figure 6 is a flow chart of some other embodiments of the interactive method disclosed herein. As shown in Figure 6 , the method of this embodiment includes: steps S602 to S622.

[0099] In step S602 , in response to the interactive multimedia content reaching a second preset plot node and / or the first virtual character completing a preset task, the second virtual character is unlocked and displayed.

[0100] In step S604, a first control for adding the second virtual character to a preset group is displayed.

[0101] In step S606, in response to the user triggering the first control, a prompt message for adding the second virtual character to the preset group is displayed.

[0102] In step S608, in response to the user's operation on the second control of the preset group, information of one or more virtual characters in the preset group is displayed.

[0103] In step S610 , in response to the user's selection operation on the second virtual character, a dialogue interface between the first virtual character and the second virtual character is displayed.

[0104] In step S612, dialogue information between the user and the second virtual character is received.

[0105] Steps S602 to S612 may refer to the aforementioned embodiment and will not be described in detail here.

[0106] In step S614, reply information of the second virtual character is generated according to the dialogue information and the character setting information of the second virtual character.

[0107] In some embodiments, the dialogue information is parsed to determine whether the dialogue information is associated with the plot of the interactive multimedia content; if the dialogue information is associated with the plot of the interactive multimedia content, a reply message of the second virtual character is generated based on the dialogue information, the character setting information of the second virtual character, and the summary information of the historical plot experienced by the first virtual character.

[0108] For example, a machine learning model can be used to understand the conversation information (and one or more historical conversation information) to determine whether the conversation information is relevant to the plot of the interactive multimedia content. The summary information of the historical plot can be extracted based on all the historical plots experienced by the first virtual character. The character setting information of the second virtual character can reflect the second virtual character's personality, language style, and other characteristics. The generated reply information will respond to the plot-related content involved in the conversation information entered by the user and reflect the language style of the second virtual character.

[0109] Different second virtual characters may correspond to different agents of the machine learning model or different machine learning models, and different agents or different machine learning models may store the plots experienced by the first virtual character.

[0110] After storing historical data such as the user's progress in the interactive multimedia content (the plots they have experienced), the user can then engage in a dialogue with a second virtual character based on the plot or experiences. By combining the dialogue information, the second virtual character's character settings, and the historical plot summary information to generate the second virtual character's reply, the second virtual character can engage in dialogue and chat with the first virtual character based on the plot, enhancing the fun, effectiveness, and effectiveness of the interaction.

[0111] In some embodiments, when the dialogue information is associated with the plot of the interactive multimedia content, the reply information of the second virtual character is generated according to the dialogue information and the character setting information of the second virtual character.

[0112] Users can also have conversations with the second virtual character that are not related to the plot, and the second virtual character can also generate corresponding replies. The replies of different first virtual characters will reflect different language styles due to different character setting information.

[0113] In step S616, the reply information of the second virtual character is displayed.

[0114] As shown in FIG. 4 , the reply information may be displayed in the reply area corresponding to the second virtual character, or may be played in the form of voice, without being limited to the examples given.

[0115] In step S618, information of at least one dimension of role attribute variables is determined based on the dialogue information.

[0116] Step S618 can refer to the above embodiment and will not be described in detail here. Step S618 and step S614 can be executed in parallel or in a different order.

[0117] In step S620, plot development information of the interactive multimedia content is determined based on information of the character attribute variable of at least one dimension.

[0118] Information about at least one dimension of character attribute variables can influence the development of the plot of the interactive multimedia content. In some embodiments, in response to the interactive multimedia content reaching a first predetermined plot node, the plot after the first predetermined plot node is determined based on the information about the at least one dimension of character attribute variables. The plot development information of the interactive multimedia content includes the plot after the first predetermined plot node.

[0119] One or more first preset plot nodes can be set in the interactive multimedia content. Each first preset plot node can be configured with a corresponding plot determination condition. The information of the character attribute variable of at least one dimension is compared with the plot determination condition corresponding to the first preset plot node, thereby determining the plot branch that the plot will take after the first preset plot node. For example, the plot determination condition includes one or more thresholds corresponding to the character attribute variable of at least one dimension. For example, different plot branches correspond to different thresholds. Based on the comparison of the information of the character attribute variable of at least one dimension with the threshold corresponding to each plot branch, the plot development can be determined. For example, an increase or decrease in favorability can affect the direction of the ending, and can affect whether the second virtual character becomes the final partner of the first virtual character. For example, if the second virtual character's favorability towards the first virtual character is a first value, the plot will take the first branch; if the second virtual character's favorability towards the first virtual character is a second value, the plot will take the second branch.

[0120] In some embodiments, a machine learning model is used to generate plot development information of the interactive multimedia content based on information of at least one dimension of character attribute variables and information of the historical plot experienced by the first virtual character.

[0121] Stories can be generated in real time based on at least one dimension of character attribute variables and historical plots. A user's conversation information and historical plots can reflect their personality and their experience with interactive multimedia content. Therefore, personalized stories can be generated and enhanced for the user, further improving the effectiveness of interaction and the interactive multimedia content.

[0122] In step S622, a plot page corresponding to the plot development information is displayed.

[0123] For example, after the first preset plot node, a screen corresponding to the plot after the first preset plot node is displayed.

[0124] When the user controls the first virtual character at a first preset plot node, in response to exiting the dialogue interface, a screen of the plot after the first preset plot node determined based on information of the character attribute variable of at least one dimension is displayed.

[0125] In some embodiments, in response to the dialogue information including information indicating that the user wants to terminate the interactive multimedia content, guidance information for the second virtual character to reply is displayed, wherein the guidance information is used to guide the user to return to the interactive multimedia content.

[0126] For example, the conversation information may be parsed to determine whether it contains information indicating that the user wishes to terminate the interactive multimedia content. Guidance information may then be generated based on the conversation information and the character settings of the second virtual character to guide the user back to the interactive multimedia content. For example, if the user's conversation information says, "This level is too difficult, I don't want to play anymore," the guidance information may include a prompt indicating the level or a comforting message to the user, so that the user can continue to experience the interactive multimedia content.

[0127] Each secondary virtual character can correspond to a bot (robot or automated program) that can engage in conversations with the user, influence the plot, and guide user behavior. This allows the user's interaction with the secondary virtual character and the interactive multimedia content to interact and promote each other, improving the overall operability and interactive experience of the interactive multimedia content.

[0128] In the present disclosure, the machine learning models for determining initial conversation information, the machine learning model for understanding conversation information, the machine learning model for determining information of at least one dimension of character attribute variables, the machine learning model for generating reply information, the machine learning model for generating plot information, etc. can be the same model or different models.

[0129] The disclosed solution can influence the virtual characters that users can unlock by implementing a plot-driven approach. Users can interact with the virtual characters based on the plot, and the content of their interactions with the virtual characters in turn influences the plot's direction. This allows the interactive aspects of the interactive multimedia content to interact with the plot, creating a close connection and expanding the range of interactive multimedia content and its interaction methods, improving interaction efficiency, effectiveness, and effectiveness.
