However, virtual scenes are relatively rich, with a large number of building material units. A large number of distance calculations will cause high resource consumption of electronic equipment, especially in game scenarios, which can easily cause lag and thus damage the user experience.

[0026] The following describes embodiments of the present disclosure in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although certain embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the present disclosure. It should be understood that the drawings and embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0027] It should be understood that the various steps described in the method embodiments of the present disclosure may be performed in different orders and / or in parallel. In addition, the method embodiments may include additional steps and / or omit the steps shown. The scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0028] As used herein, the term "including" and its variations are open-ended, i.e., "including but not limited to." The term "based on" means "based, at least in part, on." The term "one embodiment" means "at least one embodiment," the term "another embodiment" means "at least one additional embodiment," and the term "some embodiments" means "at least some embodiments." Other terms are defined in the following description.

[0029] It should be noted that the concepts of "first" and "second" mentioned in this disclosure are only used to distinguish different devices, modules or units, and are not used to limit the order or interdependence of the functions performed by these devices, modules or units.

[0030] It should be noted that the modifications of "one" and "multiple" mentioned in the present disclosure are illustrative rather than restrictive, and those skilled in the art should understand that unless otherwise clearly indicated in the context, they should be understood as "one or more".

[0031] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are only used for illustrative purposes and are not used to limit the scope of these messages or information.

[0032] It is understandable that before using the technical solutions disclosed in the various embodiments of this disclosure, the type, scope of use, usage scenarios, etc. of the personal information involved in this disclosure should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with relevant laws and regulations.

[0033] For example, in response to a user's active request, a prompt message is sent to the user to clearly inform the user that the operation requested will require the acquisition and use of the user's personal information. This allows the user to independently choose whether to provide personal information to the electronic device, application, server, storage medium, or other software or hardware that performs the operations of the disclosed technical solution based on the prompt message.

[0034] As an optional but non-limiting implementation, in response to receiving a user's active request, the prompt information may be sent to the user in the form of a pop-up window, in which the prompt information may be presented in text form. Furthermore, the pop-up window may also contain a selection control for the user to select "agree" or "disagree" to provide personal information to the electronic device.

[0035] It is understandable that the above notification and user authorization process are merely illustrative and do not limit the implementation of the present disclosure. Other methods that comply with relevant laws and regulations may also be applied to the implementation of the present disclosure.

[0036] At the same time, it is understandable that the data involved in this technical solution (including but not limited to the data itself, the acquisition or use of the data) must comply with the requirements of relevant laws, regulations and relevant provisions.

[0037] For example, the distance between two virtual building materials is used to determine whether to perform automatic control so that the two automatically touch each other. However, virtual scenes are relatively rich, with a large number of building material units. A large number of distance calculations will cause high resource consumption of electronic equipment, especially in game scenarios, which can easily cause lag and thus damage the user experience.

[0038] Furthermore, approximating simple geometric objects doesn't accurately represent diverse shapes, making it impossible to accurately calculate the minimum distance between two virtual building materials, resulting in gaps or overlaps in the adsorption effect. For example, Figure 1 shows an adsorption effect illustrated in the present disclosure. In Figure 1, there is overlap between two virtual objects, requiring the user to manually fine-tune the adsorption result.

[0039] In view of this, in order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide a virtual object interaction method, device, medium and electronic device.

[0040] FIG2 is a flowchart of a virtual object interaction method according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. The virtual object interaction method can be performed by an electronic device, specifically by a virtual object interaction device, which can be implemented by software and / or hardware. Referring to FIG2 , the virtual object interaction method may include the following steps:

[0041] Step 210: displaying a virtual scene, where the virtual scene includes a first virtual object and at least one second virtual object;

[0042] Step 220 , in response to the first virtual object being located in an area associated with at least one second virtual object, determining whether the first virtual object is in an adsorption range based on a displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object;

[0043] Step 230 : In response to determining that the first virtual object is in the adsorption range, control the first virtual object to contact the second virtual object.

[0044] The first virtual object and the second virtual object may be virtual objects of any shape, and the first virtual object and the second virtual object are virtual objects set in a virtual scene, and the virtual scene may be a two-dimensional virtual scene or a three-dimensional virtual scene. As an example, the virtual scene may be a construction-related virtual game scene, and the corresponding virtual objects may be virtual building materials.

[0045] It is worth noting that the first virtual object can be a virtual object that the user moves within the virtual scene via the electronic device, and the second virtual object can be a stationary virtual object. As the user moves the first virtual object via the electronic device, it may gradually approach the second virtual object. The user's continuous movement of the first virtual object toward the second virtual object indicates the user's desire to bring the first virtual object into contact with the second virtual object.

[0046] When the first virtual object is located in an area associated with at least one second virtual object, the displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object is calculated. This displacement represents the shortest displacement required for the first virtual object and the second virtual object to achieve contact. It should be understood that when the first virtual object is not located in an area associated with a second virtual object, the displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object does not need to be calculated.

[0047] It is worth noting that when the first virtual object is determined to be within the adsorption range, the electronic device may control the movement of the first virtual object based on the vector corresponding to the currently determined displacement (i.e., the modulus). This means that the first virtual object is no longer under the user's control, and the electronic device controls the movement of the first virtual object based on the vector corresponding to the displacement. The contact position between the first virtual object and the second virtual object includes the edge points of the vector corresponding to the displacement, respectively, on the first and second virtual objects.

[0048] Through the above technical solution, when a first virtual object is located in an area associated with at least one second virtual object, whether the first virtual object is within the adsorption range is determined based on the displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object. This can achieve automatic contact of virtual objects while reducing computing overhead, reduce lag, and thus improve user experience.

[0049] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned step of determining whether the first virtual object is in the adsorption range based on the displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object in response to the first virtual object moving to the area associated with at least one second virtual object can be implemented as follows: in response to the first virtual object moving to the area associated with at least one second virtual object, taking the preset point of the first virtual object as the first starting point, calculating the distance from the first starting point to each point on the contour line of the second virtual object, and in response to the distance meeting the preset requirements, determining the point corresponding to the distance as the second starting point; calculating the distance from the second starting point to each point on the contour line of the first virtual object, and in response to the distance meeting the preset requirements, determining whether the point corresponding to the distance coincides with the first starting point, and in response to non-coincidence, taking the point as the new first starting point; in response to coincidence, determining the displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object according to the coordinates of the second starting point and the coordinates of the first starting point; and determining whether the first virtual object is in the adsorption range based on the displacement.

[0050] The preset point of the first virtual object may be any point in the first virtual object or a designated point. The designated point may be, for example, the center point of a circular boundary surrounding the first virtual object.

[0051] Among them, the preset requirements include the shortest distance among all distances from the calculated target starting point to each point on the contour line of the target virtual object. When the target starting point is the first starting point, the corresponding target virtual object is the second virtual object; when the target starting point is the second starting point, the target virtual object is the first virtual object.

[0052] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of determining a target starting point according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 3 , object A is a first virtual object, object B is a second virtual object, and point O shown in Figure 3 is a preset point of the first virtual object. Starting from point O, the distance from point O to each point on the contour line of the second virtual object is calculated. If the distance from point O to point B1 meets the preset requirements, point B1 corresponding to the distance from point O to point B1 is determined as the second starting point.

[0053] Calculate the distance from point B1 to each point on the contour line of the first virtual object. If the distance from point B1 to point A1 meets the preset requirements, and point A1 corresponding to the distance from point B1 to point A1 does not coincide with point O, then determine point A1 as the new first starting point;

[0054] Continue to use point A1 as the new first starting point, calculate the distance from point A1 to each point on the contour line of the second virtual object, and if the distance from point A1 to point B2 meets the preset requirements, then determine point B2 corresponding to the distance from point A1 to point B2 as the second starting point;

[0055] Calculate the distance from point B2 to each point on the contour line of the first virtual object. If the distance from point B2 to point A2 meets the preset requirements, and point A2 corresponding to the distance from point B2 to point A2 does not coincide with point A1, then determine point A2 as the new first starting point;

[0056] Continue using point A2 as the new first starting point, calculate the distance from point A2 to each point on the contour line of the second virtual object, and if the distance from point A2 to point B3 meets the preset requirements, then determine point B3 corresponding to the distance from point A2 to point B3 as the second starting point;

[0057] Calculate the distance from point B3 to each point on the contour line of the first virtual object. If the distance from point B3 to point A3 meets the preset requirements and point A3 corresponding to the distance from point B3 to point A3 does not coincide with point A2, then determine point A3 as the new first starting point.

[0058] Continue to use point A3 as the new first starting point, calculate the distance from point A3 to each point on the contour line of the second virtual object, and if the distance from point A3 to point B3 meets the preset requirements, then determine point B3 corresponding to the distance from point A3 to point B3 as the second starting point; calculate the distance from point B3 to each point on the contour line of the first virtual object, and if the distance from point B3 to point A3 meets the preset requirements, and point A3 corresponding to the distance from point B3 to point A3 coincides with the first starting point, then determine the displacement based on the coordinates of point A3 and point B3.

[0059] In other embodiments, the above-mentioned step of determining whether the first virtual object is in the adsorption range based on the displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object in response to the first virtual object moving to the area associated with at least one second virtual object can be implemented as follows: in response to the first virtual object moving to the area associated with at least one second virtual object, if the preset condition is not met, sampling the first target coordinate and the second target coordinate in sequence, the first target coordinate is the coordinate on the second virtual object closest to the fixed-point coordinate on the first virtual object, and the second target coordinate is the coordinate on the first virtual object closest to the fixed-point coordinate on the second virtual object, in two adjacent samplings, the fixed-point coordinate in the next sampling is the first target coordinate or the second target coordinate in the previous sampling, and the fixed-point coordinate in the first sampling is the preset point; in response to the preset condition being met, determining the displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object based on the last sampled target coordinate and the fixed-point coordinate used for sampling the target coordinate; and determining whether the first virtual object is in the adsorption range based on the displacement and the preset distance threshold.

[0060] The preset point in this embodiment may be any point in the virtual object or a designated point. The designated point may be, for example, the center point of the minimum bounding box for enclosing the outline of the virtual object.

[0061] The preset condition is whether the number of sampling times reaches the preset number.

[0062] Still using the example shown in FIG3 , point O is the fixed point coordinate in the first sampling, and the preset point is used. The first target coordinate sampled is point B1. Subsequently, the second target coordinate sampled is point A1. Subsequently, the first target coordinate sampled is point B2. The second target coordinate sampled is point A2. The first target coordinate sampled is point B3. The second target coordinate sampled is point A3. When the second target coordinate sampled is point A3, the number of sampling times has reached the preset number. Then, the displacement between the first virtual object and the second virtual object is determined based on points A3 and B3.

[0063] As an example, the preset distance threshold can be a parameter based on the displacement that assists in determining whether the first virtual object is within the adsorption range. For example, when the displacement is less than the preset distance threshold, the first virtual object is determined to be within the adsorption range; when the displacement is greater than or equal to the preset distance threshold, the first virtual object is determined to be outside the adsorption range. The preset distance threshold can be set based on actual circumstances and is not detailed in this embodiment.

[0064] The above method is applicable to calculating the shortest distance between virtual objects of arbitrary shapes. The shortest distance between the first virtual object and the second virtual object is directly determined based on the original shapes of the first virtual object and the second virtual object, without approximating the first virtual object and the second virtual object as other simple objects. This can improve the accuracy of the shortest distance between virtual objects. On this basis, when the shortest distance between the first virtual object and the second virtual object is less than a preset distance threshold, the first virtual object and the second virtual object are automatically adsorbed according to the vector corresponding to the shortest distance, thereby improving the effect of automatic adsorption.

[0065] It is understandable that when the module length is equal to or greater than the preset distance threshold, the electronic device will not actively control the movement of the first virtual object.

[0066] In some embodiments, the above method also includes: determining a circular boundary surrounding the first virtual object; wherein each point on the contour line of the first virtual object is located inside the circular boundary; determining whether the second virtual object intersects with the circular boundary; and when the second virtual object intersects with the circular boundary, determining that the first virtual object is located in an area associated with at least one second virtual object.

[0067] It is worth noting that when the distance between two virtual objects is too far, the possibility that their closest distance is less than the preset distance threshold is low. If it is still determined whether the first virtual object is in the adsorption range, it will cause a large resource overhead of the electronic device, especially in game scenarios, which is easy to cause lag, thereby damaging the user experience.

[0068] To this end, through the above method, it is first determined whether the second virtual object intersects with the circular boundary. In the case of intersection, it is determined that the first virtual object is located in an area associated with at least one second virtual object, and then it is determined whether the first virtual object is in the adsorption range, thereby reducing the resource overhead of the electronic device.

[0069] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned determination of the circular boundary surrounding the first virtual object includes: determining a bounding box of the first virtual object; wherein the distance between the center point of the bounding box and the vertex of the bounding box is a first distance; based on the first distance and a preset distance threshold, determining the target adsorption radius, the preset distance threshold is a parameter for determining whether the first virtual object is in the adsorption range based on the displacement; determining the circular boundary surrounding the first virtual object according to the target adsorption radius and the center point of the bounding box.

[0070] It is worth noting that the bounding box is used to enclose all contour lines of the first virtual object. As an example, each side of the bounding box is tangent to at least one point on the contour line of the first virtual object.

[0071] Figure 4 is a schematic diagram illustrating a circular boundary according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 4 , point O is the center point of a bounding box surrounding a first virtual object, point Q1 is a vertex of the bounding box, and the distance between point O and point Q1 is a first distance; the distance between point Q1 and point Q2 is a second distance (i.e., a preset distance threshold).

[0072] Figure 5 is a schematic diagram illustrating a second virtual object intersecting a circular boundary according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to Figure 5 , when the second virtual object intersects the circular boundary, it is determined that the first virtual object is located in an area associated with at least one second virtual object.

[0073] By the above method, the circular boundary is rationally set to reduce the computational overhead of the electronic device while being applicable to the calculation of the shortest distance between virtual objects of arbitrary shapes.

[0074] In some embodiments, the distance from the target starting point to each point on the contour line of the target virtual object is calculated in the following manner: calling an application programming interface in the game engine to calculate the distance from the target starting point to each point on the contour line of the target virtual object, where the target starting point is the first starting point or the second starting point, and the target virtual object is the first virtual object or the second virtual object.

[0075] Among them, the explanation of the target starting point and the target virtual object can refer to the above-mentioned related embodiments, and this embodiment will not be described in detail here.

[0076] The game engine may be a Unity engine, which is a real-time 3D (three-dimensional) interactive content creation and operation platform. The application programming interface is an interface for calculating the distance from a target starting point to each point on the contour line of a target virtual object.

[0077] In the above manner, by calling the interface provided in the Unity engine for calculating the distance from the target starting point to each point on the contour line of the target virtual object, the distance from the target starting point to each point on the contour line of the target virtual object can be determined. Therefore, when developers develop applications for implementing the above-mentioned virtual object interaction method, they do not need to access the source code corresponding to the interface or understand the details of the internal working mechanism, thereby simplifying the development difficulty.

[0078] In addition, an application programming interface for determining the coordinates of the first target and the second target in the game engine may be called to implement sampling of the coordinates of the first target and the second target.
