[0023] Message interaction is an important interactive behavior on the Internet. For example, people can create conversations and send and receive messages through instant messaging services.

[0024] Embodiments of the present disclosure propose an interaction solution. In one aspect, according to this solution, a first conversation entry can be provided in a target interface associated with a target user. Furthermore, based on a selection of the first conversation entry, a first conversation window with a virtual object can be presented. The virtual object is created based on a configuration operation by the target user and is associated with the target user.

[0027] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support users to publish corresponding virtual objects to support other users to interact with the virtual objects in dialogue, thereby improving interaction efficiency and interaction effects.

[0028] Various example implementations of this solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0029] Sample Environment

[0030] FIG1 shows a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in FIG1 , the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110 .

[0031] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports interface interaction. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for interface interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, video applications, social applications, or other suitable applications. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0032] In the environment 100 of FIG. 1 , if the application 120 is in an active state, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 150 for supporting interface interaction through the application 120 .

[0033] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 communicates with the server 130 to enable the provision of services for the application 120. The electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal or portable terminal, including a mobile phone, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a notebook computer, a netbook computer, a tablet computer, a media computer, a multimedia tablet, a handheld computer, a portable game terminal, a VR / AR device, a personal communication system (PCS) device, a personal navigation device, a personal digital assistant (PDA), an audio / video player, a digital camera / camcorder, a positioning device, a television receiver, a radio broadcast receiver, an e-book device, a gaming device or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also support any type of interface for the user (such as a "wearable" circuit, etc.).

[0034] The server 130 may be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system consisting of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server that provides basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communications, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content distribution networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. For example, the server 130 may include a computing system / server such as a mainframe, an edge computing node, a computing device in a cloud environment, and the like. The server 130 may provide background services for the application 120 that supports virtual scenes in the electronic device 110.

[0035] A communication connection may be established between the server 130 and the electronic device 110. The communication connection may be established in a wired or wireless manner. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, a Bluetooth connection, a mobile network connection, a Universal Serial Bus (USB) connection, a Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connection, etc., and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the server 130 and the electronic device 110 may implement signaling interaction through the communication connection between the two.

[0036] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in the environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of the present disclosure.

[0037] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Configuring Virtual Objects

[0039] The following describes an example process for configuring a virtual object according to an embodiment of the present disclosure in conjunction with Figures 2A to 2E. Figures 2A to 2E illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200E according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 200A to 200E may be provided by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0040] As shown in FIG. 2A , interface 200A may be a message management interface of the target user, which may be used to present messages between the target user and other users, for example.

[0041] In some embodiments, the interface 200A may include a conversation portal 205, which may be used to initiate a conversation between the target user and the corresponding virtual object (also referred to as a virtual avatar). It is understood that when the conversation object is a virtual object, an indicator indicating that the virtual image is of a virtual type will be displayed.

[0042] For example, when a selection for the conversation entrance 205 is received, the electronic device 110 may display an interface 200B as shown in FIG. 2B to present a conversation window between the target user and the virtual object.

[0043] As shown in FIG. 2B , in the conversation, the electronic device 110 may, for example, display a message 210 from the virtual object. The message 210 may, for example, include a guidance message for guiding the user to configure or publish the virtual object.

[0044] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2B , the electronic device 110 may further provide a set of recommended interactive items in the interface 200B, such as interactive item 215-1, interactive item 215-2, and interactive item 215-3 (individually or collectively referred to as interactive items 215). Such interactive items 215 may be used to help the target user quickly interact with the virtual object.

[0045] In some embodiments, the interface 200B may further include an input control 220 , and the target user may, for example, input a message to the conversation through the input control 220 and obtain a reply message from the virtual object to the input message.

[0046] 2C , electronic device 110 may receive a message 230 input by the target user, and electronic device 110 may accordingly present a message 235 and a message 240 from the virtual object as replies to message 230. As another example, electronic device 110 may receive a message 245 input by the target user, and provide a message 250 from the virtual object as a reply.

[0047] In some embodiments, the message from the virtual object can be generated using a target model. Such a target model can be implemented using any appropriate machine learning model, examples of which may include but are not limited to language models.

[0048] In some embodiments, such a target model may be trained based on the target user's associated information. In some examples, the target user's associated information may be obtained based on reference information determined by the target user. As an example, server 130 may receive reference information (e.g., text content, video content, audio content, etc.) uploaded by the target user, and may use such reference information to train the target model so that the target model can generate corresponding replies based on the target user's style.

[0049] In some embodiments, the target user's associated information may also be obtained based on historical conversation information between the target user and the virtual object. Such historical conversation information may include conversation messages between the target user and the virtual object. For example, the historical conversation information may include multiple rounds of conversation messages between the target user and the virtual object, as shown in FIG2C .

[0050] In some embodiments, the target user can indicate the associated information for building the virtual object through a configuration operation. As an example, such associated information can include text information associated with the target user so that the text generated by the virtual object can match the style of the target user.

[0051] As another example, such associated information may include audio information associated with the target user, so that the audio content provided by the virtual object can have a timbre corresponding to the target user or a specific timbre configured by the target user.

[0052] As another example, such associated information may also include video information associated with the target user, so that the video content provided by the virtual object can, for example, present a visual image corresponding to the target user or a visual image configured by the target user.

[0053] Thus, the target model can be trained to be specific to the target user, and the messages generated by it can refer to the style of the target user or match the relevant information of the target user.

[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also present a configuration control 225 for publishing a virtual object in the interface 200C. In some embodiments, when the number of historical conversation messages between the target user and the virtual object reaches a threshold, the electronic device 110 may present the configuration control 225 accordingly.

[0055] Furthermore, upon receiving a preset operation of the target user on the configuration control 225 (e.g., a selection operation on the "Allow" button), the electronic device 110 may correspondingly publish the virtual object associated with the target user, so that other users can interact with the virtual avatar after it is published. The specific process of other users interacting with the virtual object will be described below with reference to Figures 3A to 3C.

[0056] In other embodiments, the target user can for example also publish the virtual object by the configuration control of other appropriate forms. As an example, the target user can for example actively call up the configuration panel of the virtual object by appropriate operation, and can publish the virtual object by the configuration control in the configuration panel.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further receive configuration information of the target user regarding the virtual object. As an example, the electronic device 110 may obtain at least one item of configuration information of the target user regarding the virtual object through a configuration panel.

[0058] In some embodiments, such configuration information can indicate whether to allow the virtual object to reply the user's message. As an example, when the virtual object allows replying other users' messages, when other users enter into a conversation with the virtual object, the virtual object can, for example, generate a reply based on the other users' messages received.

[0059] In some other embodiments, such configuration information may indicate whether the virtual object is allowed to establish a media call with the user, such as an audio call or a video call. In some embodiments, as will be described in detail below, if the virtual object is allowed to establish a media call with the user, other users may also, for example, conduct a real-time media call with the virtual object.

[0060] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2B , a virtual object may also be associated with a corresponding target visual identifier (e.g., a visual image). Such a target visual identifier may include appropriate two-dimensional visual content and / or three-dimensional visual content and be presented in a conversation window between the target user or other users and the virtual object. For example, the target visual identifier of the virtual object may include its avatar, such as a two-dimensional image; or, the target visual identifier may include its corresponding three-dimensional model for presentation in a video call.

[0061] In some examples, the target visual identifier may be an object visual identifier of the target object, such as an avatar of the target object.

[0062] In other examples, the target visual identifier may be generated based on the object visual identifier and may be different from the object visual identifier. For example, the virtual object's avatar may be generated by processing the target object's profile picture so that the two have similar visual features but may correspond to different styles. For example, if the target object's profile picture is a photograph, the virtual object's avatar may be, for example, a cartoon-style image of the photograph.

[0063] In some other embodiments, the target visual identifier may be configured by the target object. For example, the target object may configure the target visual identifier of the virtual object by uploading an image, generating an image, setting three-dimensional model parameters, and the like.

[0064] Based on the process described above, embodiments of the present disclosure can support users to publish corresponding virtual objects for interaction with other users on the platform. Further, embodiments of the present disclosure can also support users to appropriately configure such virtual objects as needed, thereby improving the interactive quality of virtual objects.

[0065] 3A to 3C , other users can, for example, interact with the virtual object corresponding to the target user. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can also provide the target user with a message viewing interface to display a group of conversation messages between at least one user and the virtual object.

[0066] As an example, Figure 2D shows an example interface 200D according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Figure 2D, the interface 200D may display conversation items between one or more users and virtual objects, such as conversation item 255-1, conversation item 255-2, and conversation item 255-3.

[0067] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may also provide a configuration entry 260 in the interface 200D to support the target user to further adjust the configuration information about the virtual object when the virtual object is published.

[0068] As another example, the electronic device 110 may further include a control 265 to mark all of the above conversation items as read. Conversely, if a conversation item has unread new messages, the electronic device 110 may also present an indicator associated with the conversation item regarding the presence of unread new messages.

[0069] Furthermore, upon receiving a selection for conversation item 255-1, electronic device 110 may display interface 200E as shown in FIG2E . Interface 200E may be used as a message viewing interface corresponding to conversation 255-1 and may be used to display all conversation messages between “user 1” and the virtual object.

[0070] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further provide a conversation portal 270 in the interface 200E, and may present a conversation window between the target user and “User 1 ” based on the target user's selection of the conversation portal 270 .

[0071] As an example, if the target user learns through the message viewing interface that some questions that "User 1" is concerned about may not be well answered, the target user can, for example, enter the private chat window with "User 1" through the session entrance 270 and send a message to "User 1".

[0072] In yet other embodiments, the target user can, for example, select at least one message from a set of conversation messages between "User 1" and the virtual object, and accordingly trigger the display of a conversation window with "User 1." In this case, the conversation window between the target user and "User 1" can, for example, present a reference to the selected at least one message, thereby further improving the efficiency of message interaction.

[0073] For example, if "User 1" fails to obtain an answer to a specific question through the virtual object, the target user can pay attention to the specific question through the message viewing interface, and can enter the conversation interface with the virtual object by quoting the specific question, and can send a reply message to the specific question accordingly.

[0074] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can further facilitate the target user to manage and view the interaction between the virtual object and other users.

[0075] Interacting with virtual objects

[0076] The following further describes the process of interacting with a virtual object according to an embodiment of the present disclosure with reference to Figures 3A to 3C. Figures 3A to 3C illustrate example interfaces 300A to 300C according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 300A to 300C may be provided by, for example, the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0077] As shown in FIG3A , interface 300A may be, for example, a target interface associated with a target user (e.g., User X). For example, it may be the target user's personal homepage. In other examples, the target interface may also include other appropriate interfaces associated with the target user, such as a recommendation interface for the target user, a search results page for the target user, and the like.

[0078] In some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3A, electronic device 110 may provide a conversation portal 305 in interface 300A. In some embodiments, upon receiving a selection regarding conversation portal 305, electronic device 110 may display interface 300B as shown in Figure 3B to present a conversation window between the current user and the virtual object corresponding to the target user.

[0079] In some embodiments, when the interactive relationship between the current user and the target user meets the first preset condition, the electronic device 110 may present a conversation window between the current user and the virtual object based on the selection of the conversation entrance 305 .

[0080] In some embodiments, such an interactive relationship may indicate a social relationship between the current user and the target user in the application platform, for example, whether they are friends, whether they are following each other, etc. For example, if the current user and the target user are not users who follow each other, the current user may enter a conversation window with the virtual object by, for example, clicking on the conversation entry 305 .

[0081] As another example, if the interactive relationship between the current user and the target user satisfies a second preset condition, the electronic device 110 may present a conversation window with the target user based on the selection of the conversation entry 305. For example, if the current user and the target user are users who follow each other, the current user may, for example, click on the conversation entry 305 to access the conversation window with the target user.

[0082] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can reduce the user's interactive learning cost by reusing existing session entrances.

[0083] In some other embodiments, to facilitate other users to perceive whether the target user has published the corresponding virtual object, the electronic device 110 may further present an indicator indicating that the virtual object has been published in the interface 300A. As an example, the electronic device 110 may present an indicator (e.g., an avatar frame in a specific color pattern) in association with the visual identifier (e.g., avatar) of the target user to indicate that the target user has published the corresponding virtual object.

[0084] Furthermore, as shown in FIG3B , the electronic device 110 may present descriptive information about the target user's virtual object in the interface 300B, including but not limited to: a visual identifier (eg, an avatar), a text identifier (eg, a nickname), and the like.

[0085] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may also provide a message 310 from the virtual object. The message 310 may be generated using the target model mentioned above, or may be a preset greeting message.

[0086] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also provide a set of recommended interactive items in the interface 300B for guiding the current user to interact with the virtual object, such as interactive item 315-1, interactive item 315-2, and interactive item 315-3 (individually or collectively referred to as interactive items 315). Such interactive items 315 can be used to help the current user quickly interact with the virtual object.

[0087] In some embodiments, such interactive items 315 may be generated by the target model mentioned above, or may be generated based on the interaction between other users and virtual objects, or may include preset interactive items.

[0088] In some embodiments, interface 300B may further include an input control 320 to enable the current user to enter a message of an appropriate type into the conversation. For example, as shown in FIG3C , electronic device 110 may receive a message 325 entered by the current user and may accordingly provide a message 330 from the virtual object. As discussed above, message 330 may be generated based on message 325.

[0089] It should be understood that the message 325 and / or the message 330 may include any appropriate type of message, such as a text message, an audio message, an image message, etc. The present disclosure is not intended to be limited to the type of message and the specific input method.

[0090] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support other users to interact with the target user's virtual object, thereby improving the timeliness of message responses.

[0091] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also support a media call between the current user and the virtual object. Specifically, the electronic device 110 may establish a media call between the current user and the virtual object based on the current user's media call request. As an example, the media call includes a video call or an audio call.

[0092] For example, the current user can initiate an audio call request or a video call request with the virtual object through the input control 320 or other appropriate controls. Further, the electronic device 110 can establish a real-time audio call or a real-time video call between the current user and the virtual object.

[0093] In some embodiments, during a media call, electronic device 110 may provide video content and / or audio content from a virtual object in a conversation window. For example, a virtual object may generate a real-time audio response based on the audio content input by the current user during an audio call.

[0094] As an example, such an audio response can have acoustic characteristics associated with the target user. For example, the target user can configure the timbre of the virtual object during an audio call. Alternatively, such timbre can be determined based on an audio or video work uploaded by the target user or an audio clip recorded by the target user.

[0095] As another example, during a video call, a video response from a virtual object may include an audio portion and an image portion. The audio portion may be similar to the audio portion of an audio call described above. The image portion may be generated based on the visual identity of the virtual object, and may include an animation generated based on a three-dimensional model of the virtual object, and the animation may match the corresponding audio portion.

[0096] Based on this approach, the embodiments of the present disclosure can improve the realism of interaction with virtual objects, thereby enhancing the interaction effect.

[0097] Example Process

[0098] FIG4A shows a flow chart of an example interaction process 400A according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. The process 400A may be implemented at the electronic device 110. The process 400A is described below with reference to FIG1.

[0099] As shown in FIG. 4A , in block 410 , the electronic device 110 provides a first conversation entry in a target interface associated with a target user.

[0100] In block 420 , the electronic device 110 presents a first conversation window with a virtual object based on the selection of the first conversation entry, where the virtual object is created based on a configuration operation of the target user and is associated with the target user.

[0101] In block 430 , the electronic device 110 provides a second message from the virtual object in the first conversation window based on the first message input by the current user in the first conversation window, wherein the second message is generated based on the first message.

[0102] In some embodiments, the virtual object is created based on the target user's associated information indicated by the configuration operation.
