[0015] 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.

[0016] It should be noted that the titles of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and any type of embodiment may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, the embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any manner with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or in different sections / subsections.

[0017] In the description of the embodiments of the present disclosure, the term "including" and similar terms should be understood as open inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The term "based on" should be understood as "at least partially based on". The term "one embodiment" or "the embodiment" should be understood as "at least one embodiment". The term "some embodiments" should be understood as "at least some embodiments". Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below. The terms "first", "second", etc. may refer to different or the same objects. Other explicit and implicit definitions may be included below.

[0018] The embodiments of the present disclosure may involve user data, data acquisition and / or use, etc. These aspects shall comply with the corresponding laws, regulations and relevant provisions. In the embodiments of the present disclosure, all data collection, acquisition, processing, processing, forwarding, use, etc. are carried out on the premise that the user is aware of and confirms them. Accordingly, when implementing the various embodiments of the present disclosure, the types, scope of use, and usage scenarios of the data or information that may be involved should be informed to the user and the user's authorization should be obtained in an appropriate manner in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations. The specific notification and / or authorization method may vary according to the actual situation and application scenario, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

[0019] If this specification and the solutions in the examples involve the processing of personal information, such processing will be done only with a legitimate basis (such as with the consent of the subject of personal information or as necessary for the performance of a contract) and only within the prescribed or agreed scope. A user's refusal to process personal information other than that required for basic functions will not affect the user's use of basic functions.

[0020] As discussed above, some platforms allow users to create or configure corresponding virtual objects, such as avatars and digital assistants. Other users' interactions with virtual objects are often based on pre-defined interaction modalities. However, different users, or even the same user in different contexts, may have different interaction expectations, and fixed interaction modalities are unlikely to meet these needs.

[0021] Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for interacting with a virtual object. According to the method, an access portal associated with a target user can be presented. Furthermore, based on the selection of the access portal, an interaction interface with the virtual object can be presented, where the virtual object corresponds to the target user, wherein the current interaction modality between the current user and the virtual object in the interaction interface is determined from a plurality of preset interaction modalities based on at least one of the following: platform configuration information associated with the access portal, and the entry type of the access portal.

[0022] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support interaction with virtual objects in different modalities in different situations, so that the interaction modality is more in line with the user's expectations, thereby improving the interactive experience.

[0023] Various example implementations of this solution are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Sample Environment

[0025] 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 .

[0026] 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.

[0027] 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 .

[0028] 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.).

[0029] 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.

[0030] 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.

[0031] 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.

[0032] Some example embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below with continued reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example Interaction

[0034] The following describes example interactions according to some embodiments of the present disclosure in conjunction with Figures 2A to 2D. Figures 2A to 2D show example interfaces 200A to 200D according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 200A to 200D may be provided by, for example, the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2A, Figure 2A shows an interface 200A associated with a target user (eg, user X). For example, the interface 200A may be a personal page of "user X" for displaying information or works of the user.

[0036] In some embodiments, the interface 200A may include, for example, an access entry 205 associated with the target user. After receiving the selection of the access entry, the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200B as shown in FIG. 2B .

[0037] As shown in FIG2B , interface 200B may be an interactive interface with a virtual object. The virtual object may correspond to "User X." For example, the virtual object may be created based on configuration operations by "User X," enabling the virtual object to interact with other users based on specific data and / or knowledge. In some scenarios, the virtual object may also be referred to as a virtual avatar or digital assistant, for example. This disclosure is not intended to limit the specific method for creating virtual objects.

[0038] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine the current interaction mode between the current user and the virtual object in the interface 200B.

[0039] In some embodiments, the virtual object may be configured to support multiple preset interaction modes, such as text interaction mode, voice interaction mode, video interaction mode, and the like.

[0040] In some embodiments, such an interaction mode may indicate the message type of the first message input by the current user. For example, in a text interaction mode, the user's initial input method is, for example, text input.

[0041] In some embodiments, such an interaction mode may further indicate the type of the second message provided by the virtual object. For example, in a voice interaction mode, the virtual object may output a message via voice. Such a message may include a greeting message or a reply message to a user input message.

[0042] It is understood that when the interaction modality indicates both the message type of a first message input by the current user and the message type of a second message provided by the virtual object, the message type of the first message and the message type of the second message may be different. For example, when the user uses headphones, the interaction modality may support both text input and voice output.

[0043] In some embodiments, the multiple preset interaction modes supported by the virtual object can be determined based on the configuration operation of the target user (e.g., user X). For example, "user X" can configure the virtual object to support text interaction mode and voice interaction mode.

[0044] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine the current interaction modality in the interface 200B using platform configuration information associated with the access portal 205 .

[0045] As an example, such platform configuration information may indicate whether the playback mode of the platform associated with the access portal 205 is silent mode or sound mode. For example, the platform may be a media playback platform, and the platform configuration information may indicate that the media content in the platform is played in silent mode.

[0046] In some embodiments, if the platform configuration information indicates that the media content in the platform is played in silent mode, the current interaction mode in interface 200B can be determined to be a text interaction mode. For example, the virtual object will be configured to provide a text message, and the user's initial input mode can be a text input mode.

[0047] In some embodiments, if the platform configuration information indicates that the media content in the platform is played in audio mode, the current interaction mode in interface 200B can be determined to be the voice interaction mode. For example, as shown in FIG2B , the virtual object will be configured to provide a voice message, and the user's initial input mode can be the voice input mode.

[0048] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further determine the current interaction modality based on the current user's historical interactions with the virtual object. Specifically, if the platform configuration information indicates that media content on the platform is played in audio mode, the electronic device 110 may determine the current interaction modality as the historical interaction modality in the current user's historical interactions with the virtual object.

[0049] For example, if the historical interaction mode when the current user last exited the interaction interface with the virtual object was the text interaction mode, the electronic device 110 may determine the text interaction mode as the current interaction mode.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine the current interaction mode in the interface 200B based on the type of the access entry 205. In some embodiments, the type of the access entry 205 may indicate the type of the interface where the access entry 205 is located.

[0051] Taking FIG. 2A as an example, the interface 200A is the personal homepage of the target user, and the electronic device 110 can determine the interaction mode corresponding to the type of personal homepage, for example, the voice interaction mode.

[0052] In some embodiments, if the current user enters the interactive interface 200B through the target user's work viewing page, the electronic device 110 can determine the interactive mode corresponding to the type of work viewing page, for example, the video interactive mode.

[0053] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may determine the current interaction mode in the interface 200B based on the association between different entry types and preset interaction modes. In some embodiments, such association may include a preset association. Alternatively, such association may be determined based on the configuration operation of the target user. For example, the target user may configure the interaction mode supported by the interactive interface entered through the access entry in the personal homepage to be a voice interaction mode.

[0054] In some embodiments, the types of access portals can be further divided into two categories. For example, the first type of portal may be an access portal to a first interface, where the first interface is specific to the target user. For example, such a first interface may include the target user's personal homepage, a work viewing page, a private chat page with the target user, and so on.

[0055] As another example, the second entry type may correspond to an access entry in a second interface, where the second interface is independent of the target user. For example, such a second interface may include a search page provided in the platform, such a search page providing information related to the target user based on user input information and providing an access entry associated with the target user.

[0056] As another example, such a second interface may include an aggregated information page, such as a recommendation page. Such a recommendation page may, for example, provide information related to multiple users and may provide an access portal associated with a target user.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first entry type and the second entry type may correspond to different interaction modes. That is, the current interaction modes supported by the interactive interfaces accessed through different types of access entries may be different.

[0058] For example, the first entry type is more relevant to the target user, and the user may expect a richer interactive experience. Accordingly, the first entry type may correspond to a voice interaction mode or a video interaction mode.

[0059] As another example, the second entry type is relatively less relevant to the target user, and the user may not want to be disturbed too much. Accordingly, the second entry type may correspond to a text interaction mode, for example.

[0060] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can provide users with an interaction mode that better meets interaction expectations, thereby improving the user's interaction experience.

[0061] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further support the user to adjust the interaction mode in the interface 200B. For example, the electronic device 110 may adjust the current interaction mode between the current user and the virtual object in the interface based on the preset operation of the current user in the interface 200B.

[0062] Taking FIG2B as an example, the current interaction mode is, for example, a voice interaction mode. As shown in the figure, the electronic device 110 can display a visual element 210 (eg, an avatar or a three-dimensional model, etc.) of the virtual object in the interface 200B.

[0063] Additionally, the electronic device 110 may output the greeting message of the virtual object in a voice manner. Alternatively, the electronic device 110 may also display the text content 220 corresponding to the voice message in a subtitle manner, for example.

[0064] Furthermore, in the current interactive mode, the default message input mode in the interface 200B is the voice input mode. The electronic device 110 can obtain the voice message input by the user based on the user's selection of the voice control 225, for example.

[0065] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further provide an adjustment control 215 for adjusting the type of message output by the virtual object. As an example, after receiving a user selection of the adjustment control 215, the electronic device 110 may display an interface 200C as shown in FIG. 2C.

[0066] As shown in Figure 2C, the electronic device 110 can change the interaction mode accordingly and change the type of message output by the virtual object from a voice message to a text message. For example, after receiving a message 235 input by the user (e.g., a voice message), the electronic device 110 can provide a text message 240 as a reply to the message 235 based on the current interaction mode.

[0067] Similarly, when the initial interaction mode is text interaction mode and the virtual object supports voice interaction mode or video interaction mode, the electronic device 110 can also switch the current interaction mode to other modes, such as voice interaction mode or video interaction mode, through operation.

[0068] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may further support the user to individually change the type of input message to adjust the current interaction mode. For example, upon receiving a selection of the text control 230 shown in FIG2C , the electronic device 110 may present an interface 200D as shown in FIG2D .

[0069] In the interface 200D, the electronic device 110 may provide a text input component 245 to support the user to input text content. Additionally, the electronic device 110 may also support the user to switch the type of input message from a text message to a voice message by, for example, clicking a voice control 250 .

[0070] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 2B to 2D, when the interaction mode changes, the interface layout of the interactive interface can also change accordingly. For example, Figure 2B corresponds to the voice interaction mode, and Figure 2D corresponds to the text interaction mode.

[0071] As shown in Figure 2B, in the voice interaction mode, the message window of interface 200B can present the visual element 210 associated with the virtual object. Correspondingly, as shown in Figure 2D, in the text interaction mode, the message window of interface 200D can hide the visual element associated with the virtual object.

[0072] In this way, the embodiments of the present disclosure can support interaction with virtual objects in different modalities in different situations, so that the interaction modality is more in line with the user's expectations, thereby improving the interactive experience.
