[0001] Cross-reference to Related Applications

[0002] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202410726919.2, filed on June 5, 2024, and entitled "Information prompting method and device, computer device, and computer readable storage medium", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the technical field of communication, and particularly relates to an information prompting method and device, a computer device, and a computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0004] In a related game setting, a virtual character does not make a corresponding moving sound when moving in a game scene, and only when the virtual character shoots or throws a virtual prop, a corresponding sound prompt is made. A player can only observe the approach of other virtual characters through a small map in the game scene, or can only notice the virtual character when the other virtual character appears in a virtual scene displayed by a game interface. The virtual character is very close to a virtual character controlled by the player, and the player has difficulty in reacting and taking corresponding measures to shoot or throw a virtual prop to produce a sound. The player also needs to determine the position of a sound source by listening to the sound, which has a high requirement on the hearing of the player. The player has difficulty in knowing the source of the sound from the sound played by the terminal, which leads to the difficulty in reacting and taking corresponding measures in time, and leads to low playability of the game and affects the game experience of the player. SUMMARY

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of the present disclosure.

[0041] The information prompting method and device, computer device and computer readable storage medium are provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure. The information prompting device can be integrated in a computer device, which can be a server or a terminal or the like.

[0042] The terminal can include a mobile phone, a wearable smart device, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a personal computer (PC), a vehicle-mounted computer, and the like.

[0043] The server can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or a distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, a cloud server providing cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks (CDNs), and big data and artificial intelligence platforms, and the like.

[0044] The following will be described in detail. It should be noted that the order of the following embodiments is not limited as the preferred order of the embodiments.

[0045] First, some nouns related to the embodiments of the present disclosure are described:

[0046] The virtual scene (or game scene) is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) by an application running on a terminal or a server. Optionally, the virtual scene is a simulation environment of the real world, or a semi-simulation and semi-fictional virtual environment, or a purely fictional virtual environment. The virtual scene is any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene and a three-dimensional virtual scene, and the virtual environment can be a sky, a land, a sea, and the like, wherein the land includes desert, city, and the like. The virtual scene is a scene of complete game logic of a virtual object controlled by a user, for example, in a sandbox 3D shooting game, the virtual scene is a 3D game world for a player to control a virtual object to fight, and an example of a virtual scene can include at least one element of mountains, plains, rivers, lakes, oceans, deserts, skies, plants, buildings, and vehicles.

[0047] The game interface refers to an interface corresponding to an application provided or displayed through a graphical user interface. The interface includes a UI interface for interaction by a player and a game picture. In an optional implementation, the UI interface can include interface elements, such as game controls (for example, skill controls, movement controls, function controls, and the like), indicator marks (for example, orientation indicators, character indicator marks, and the like), information display areas (for example, kill counts, game time, and the like), or game setting controls (for example, system settings, stores, gold coins, and the like). In an optional implementation, the game picture is a display picture corresponding to a virtual scene displayed by a terminal device. The game picture can include virtual objects such as game characters, NPC characters, and AI characters performing game logic in the virtual scene.

[0048] A game character (also referred to as a virtual object or a game object) refers to a dynamic object that can be controlled in a virtual scene. The virtual character is a character controlled by a player through an input device, or an artificial intelligence (AI) set in a virtual environment for a battle, or a non-player character (NPC) set in a virtual scene for a battle. Alternatively, the virtual character is a virtual person competing in the virtual scene. Alternatively, the number of virtual characters in the virtual scene for the battle is preset or dynamically determined according to the number of client devices participating in the battle, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure. In a possible implementation, a user can control the virtual character to move in the virtual scene, for example, to control the virtual character to run, jump, crawl, and the like, and can also control the virtual character to use skills, virtual props, and the like provided by an application to fight other virtual characters.

[0049] The embodiments will be described from the perspective of an information prompting device, which can be integrated in a computer device, which can be a server or a terminal device.

[0050] The information prompting method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be as shown in FIG. 1. The specific flow of the information prompting method can be as follows:

[0051] 101. Display a game interface. The game interface displays content including at least part of a virtual scene and a controlled virtual character in the virtual scene.

[0052] The information prompting method provided in the embodiments of the present disclosure can be applied to various games involving sound listening and position identification, such as first-person shooter (FPS) games and the like.

[0053] 102. Obtain position information of a sound source emitting a specified sound in a virtual scene.

[0054] The specified sound can be a sound that needs to be prompted in advance in a computer program, such as a sound (footstep sound, communication sound, scream sound, etc.) emitted by a virtual character in a game, a sound effect (gunshot sound, explosion sound, etc.) emitted by a virtual character using a game prop, or a sound emitted by a virtual object colliding with a game scene (a virtual character knocking over a box placed in a game scene) in a game.

[0055] The sound source can be an object that emits a sound, such as a virtual character that can produce a footstep sound, or a game prop such as a firearm, a virtual bomb, etc., which emits a gunshot sound under the shooting operation of a player, etc.

[0056] For example, when a specified sound is detected in a virtual scene, the position information of the sound source emitting the specified sound in the virtual scene can be determined. The position information can indicate the position of the sound source in the game scene, and the position information can include coordinates or the relative direction and relative distance of the sound source and the controlled virtual character.

[0057] 103. A first relative position of the sound source in a vertical direction relative to the controlled virtual character is determined based on the position information and the current position of the controlled virtual character in the virtual scene.

[0058] The first relative position can include the sound source and the controlled virtual character being on the same layer in the virtual scene, or the sound source and the controlled virtual character being on different layers in the virtual scene.

[0059] For example, the layer where the controlled virtual character is located in the virtual scene can be determined based on the current position of the controlled virtual character in the virtual scene (i.e., the current position of the controlled virtual character). Based on the position information of the sound source, it can be determined whether the sound source is located in the layer where the controlled virtual character is located, i.e., the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character.

[0060] For example, a correspondence between a height difference and the first relative position can be set in advance. If the height difference between the sound source and the controlled virtual object is greater than a preset height threshold, the sound source and the controlled virtual object are located on different layers. If the height difference between the sound source and the controlled virtual object is not greater than the preset height threshold, the sound source and the controlled virtual character are located on the same layer.

[0061] 104. A sound identifier of the sound source is displayed on the game interface based on the first relative position, wherein the sound identifier of the sound source located on the same layer as the controlled virtual character is displayed in a first display area, and the sound identifier of the sound source located on a different layer from the controlled virtual character is displayed in a second display area. The display positions of the first display area and the second display area in the vertical direction are different.

[0062] The first display area and the second display area can be two different display areas on the game interface, and the first display area and the second display area are not arranged side by side, and the display positions of the two in the vertical direction of the game interface are different. For example, the first display area and the second display area can be arranged in a column, and the first display area can be located above or below the second display area.

[0063] The first display area is used to display the sound identifier of the sound source located at the same layer as the controlled virtual character, and the second display area is used to display the sound identifier of the sound source located at a different layer from the controlled virtual character, so as to convey the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction through the display position of the sound identifier.

[0064] For example, the positions of the first display area and the second display area on the game interface can be as shown in FIG. 2. The first display area and the second display area can also be displayed at other positions on the game interface. A certain spacing can be provided between the first display area and the second display area. The size and shape of the first display area and the second display area can also be flexibly set.

[0065] Optionally, the sound identifiers located in the same display area can be arranged side by side. Assuming that (x, y) represents the display position of the sound identifier on the game interface, and y is the coordinate of the sound identifier in the vertical direction of the screen, the coordinates of the sound identifiers in the vertical direction of the display area are the same, and the coordinates of the sound identifiers in the vertical direction of different display areas are different.

[0066] In an embodiment, the sound source and the controlled virtual character located at different layers can include that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character, and the sound source is located below the controlled virtual character. Corresponding display areas can be provided. In an embodiment, the sound source and the controlled virtual character located at different layers include that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character and below the controlled virtual character. The second display area includes an upper display area and a lower display area. The upper display area is used to display the sound identifier of the sound source located above the controlled virtual character, and the lower display area is used to display the sound identifier of the sound source located below the controlled virtual character. The upper display area is displayed above the first display area, and the lower display area is displayed below the first display area.

[0067] For example, the positional relationship of the first display area, the upper display area, and the lower display area can be as shown in FIG. 4. The size and shape of the first display area, the upper display area, and the lower display area can also be flexibly set. The spacing between the display areas can also be set.

[0068] The first display area, the upper display area, and the lower display area can be displayed at any position on the game interface, such as the lower part of the interface, the left side of the interface, the right side of the interface, and the like.

[0069] For the sound mark in the upper display area, the lower edges thereof have the same horizontal position on the game interface, and the visual effect can be that the lower edges of the sound marks in the upper display area are flush.

[0070] For the sound mark in the lower display area, the upper edges thereof have the same horizontal position on the game interface, and the visual effect can be that the upper edges of the sound marks in the lower display area are flush.

[0071] In an embodiment, the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area can display the orientation indicator as a reference, that is, the game interface further comprises an orientation indicator, the horizontal position of the first display area on the game interface is the same as that of the orientation indicator, the upper display area is above the orientation indicator, and the lower display area is below the orientation indicator.

[0072] For example, the orientation indicator can be taken as a reference of the layer in which the controlled virtual character is currently located. If the sound source and the controlled virtual character are located in the same layer, the sound mark needs to be displayed on the same horizontal line as the orientation indicator; if the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character, the sound mark needs to be displayed above the orientation indicator; if the sound source is located below the controlled virtual character, the sound mark needs to be displayed below the orientation indicator. Therefore, the horizontal position of the first display area on the game interface is the same as that of the orientation indicator, the upper display area is above the orientation indicator, and the lower display area is below the orientation indicator.

[0073] For example, the display effect of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in FIG. 3, and the size and shape of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area can be flexibly set.

[0074] In addition to taking the orientation indicator as a reference, other interface elements on the interface can also be taken as a reference, the horizontal position of the first display area is the same as that of the reference, the upper display area is above the reference, and the lower display area is below the reference.

[0075] Whether the sound mark is displayed in the first display area or the second display area can indicate the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction relative to the controlled virtual object, such as being located above the controlled virtual object, being located in the same layer as the controlled virtual object, or being located below the controlled virtual object.

[0076] In addition to determining whether the sound mark is displayed in the first display area or the second display area based on the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction relative to the controlled virtual object, the display position of the sound mark in the display area (the first display area or the second display area) can also be determined in combination with the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character, so that the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character and the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction relative to the controlled virtual character can be indicated by the display position of the sound mark on the interface.

[0077] For example, the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character can include one of being located in the displayed virtual scene in the game interface and being located outside the displayed virtual scene (i.e., in the undisplayed virtual scene). The first display area and the second display area can be divided into two parts in advance, one of which is used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in the displayed virtual scene in the game interface, and the other of which is used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in the undisplayed virtual scene. Based on this, the player can determine the relative position of the sound mark in the horizontal and vertical directions relative to the controlled virtual character based on which part of which display area the sound mark is located.

[0078] The undisplayed virtual scene of the game interface (i.e., the virtual scene outside the field of view of the controlled virtual character) can include a left undisplayed virtual scene and a right undisplayed virtual scene, the left undisplayed virtual scene being located to the left of the displayed virtual scene in the game interface, and the right undisplayed virtual scene being located to the right of the displayed virtual scene in the game interface. The first display area and the second display area can be divided into three parts, such as left, middle, and right parts, corresponding to the division of the virtual scene, and different parts are used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in different scene parts of the virtual scene of the game.

[0079] Optionally, there can be multiple first display areas, different first display areas being used to display sound sources that are in the same layer as the controlled virtual character but have different horizontal positions, and multiple first display areas can be displayed side by side. Similarly, there can also be multiple second display areas, different second display areas being used to display sound sources that are in the same layer as the controlled virtual character but have different second relative positions in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character, and multiple second display areas can be displayed side by side.

[0080] Optionally, the game interface can also include a direction indicator, which can be used as a reference in the horizontal direction to convey the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character. In an embodiment, the game interface further includes a direction indicator, and the sound mark of the sound source is displayed on the game interface based on the first relative position, including:

[0081] determine a second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character according to the position information of the sound source;

[0082] display a sound mark on the game interface based on the first relative position and the second relative position of the azimuth indicator, the sound mark indicating the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character according to the relative position of the azimuth indicator.

[0083] For example, the azimuth value of the sound source can be determined according to the position information of the sound source, and it can be determined whether the sound source is located in the virtual scene displayed on the game interface or not according to the azimuth value and the azimuth range indicated by the azimuth indicator.

[0084] The azimuth indicator can be used as a reference for the second relative position, and the second relative position of the sound source in the virtual scene can be indicated by the position relationship between the sound mark and the azimuth indicator. For example, if the sound mark is displayed on the left side of the azimuth indicator, it indicates that the sound source is located in the left side of the virtual scene not displayed in the visual field of the controlled virtual character. If the sound mark is displayed on the right side of the azimuth indicator, it indicates that the sound source is located in the right side of the virtual scene not displayed in the visual field of the controlled virtual character. If the display position of the sound mark on the game interface is the same as the horizontal position of the display area of the azimuth indicator, it indicates that the sound source is located in the virtual scene displayed on the game interface.

[0085] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the first display area and the second display area can include A part, B part and C part, wherein the A part is located on the left side of the azimuth indicator, the B part contains the azimuth indicator, and the C part is located on the right side of the azimuth indicator. The A part is used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in the left side of the virtual scene not displayed, the B part is used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in the virtual scene displayed on the game interface, and the C part is used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in the right side of the virtual scene not displayed.

[0086] The horizontal position of the sound source in the virtual scene is determined according to the position information of the sound source, and the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction compared to the controlled virtual character is assumed to be located in the upper layer of the controlled virtual character and in the left side of the virtual scene not displayed. The sound mark of the sound source should be displayed in the area of the A part of the upper display area as shown in FIG. 4.

[0087] Optionally, the azimuth indicator can be used to indicate the orientation of the controlled virtual character or the azimuth between the controlled virtual character and the preset position, since the azimuth indicator is marked with a plurality of azimuths. If the sound source is located in the virtual scene displayed on the game interface, the horizontal position of the sound source can be indicated accurately by means of the azimuth marked on the azimuth indicator, i.e. in an embodiment, the sound source located in the virtual scene within the visual field range of the controlled virtual character displayed on the game interface is displayed on the position corresponding to the target azimuth value of the azimuth indicator, and the target azimuth value corresponds to the second relative position in the horizontal direction.

[0088] For example, if it is determined according to the azimuth value of the sound source and the azimuth range indicated by the azimuth indicator that the sound source is located in the virtual scene within the visual field range of the controlled virtual character displayed on the game interface, the corresponding target azimuth value can be determined on the azimuth indicator according to the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character, and the sound mark is displayed on the position corresponding to the target azimuth value, which can include the first display area and the second display area, and the position aligned with the target azimuth value in the vertical direction. When the orientation of the controlled virtual character is directed to the direction indicated by the target azimuth value, the sound source is located in front of the controlled virtual character.

[0089] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, assuming that the azimuth value of the sound source is 210 and the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character, the sound mark can be displayed in position 1 in FIG. 4, and if the sound source is located below the controlled virtual character, the sound mark can be displayed in position 2 in FIG. 4.

[0090] The sound source located in the virtual scene outside the visual field range of the controlled virtual character exceeds the range indicated by the azimuth indicator in the second relative position in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character, so the sound mark of the sound source located in the virtual scene outside the visual field range of the controlled virtual character can be displayed in the interface area on the left or right of the azimuth indicator, i.e. in an embodiment, the sound mark of the sound source located in the virtual scene outside the visual field range of the controlled virtual character is displayed on the left or right of the azimuth indicator.

[0091] Since the first display area and the second display area are used to display the sound marks of the sound sources with different first relative positions in the vertical direction relative to the controlled virtual character, and different parts of the same display area display the sound marks of the sound sources with different second relative positions in the horizontal direction, the first relative position in the vertical direction and the second relative position in the horizontal direction of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character can be transmitted by the display position of the sound mark on the game interface.

[0092] In addition to indicating the position information of the sound source by the display position of the sound identifier, the sound identifier itself can also indicate the information of the sound source by its display style. For example, the sound identifier can be an arrow, a pointer, a triangle, or other directional indicators, which can indicate the horizontal position of the sound source in the virtual scene, or the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction of the virtual scene.

[0093] Taking the sound identifier as an arrow, a pointer, a triangle, or an audio waveform as an example, the virtual scene of the game can include a displayed scene part (i.e., the virtual scene within the field of view of the controlled virtual character) displayed on the game interface, a left undisplayed scene part located to the left of the displayed scene part, and a right undisplayed scene part located to the right of the displayed scene part.

[0094] As shown in Table 1 in FIG. 5, the sound identifier in the “left side” column of the interface can indicate that the sound source is located in the left undisplayed scene part, the sound identifier in the “in-interface” column can indicate that the sound source is located in the displayed scene part, and the sound identifier in the “right side” column of the interface can indicate that the sound source is located in the right undisplayed scene part.

[0095] As shown in Table 2 in FIG. 5, the sound identifier in the “upper layer” column can indicate that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character, the sound identifier in the “same layer” column can indicate that the sound source is located at the same layer as the controlled virtual character, and the sound identifier in the “lower layer” column can indicate that the sound source is located below the controlled virtual character.

[0096] If the sound identifier only indicates the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character, the corresponding sound identifier can be selected and displayed from Table 1 in FIG. 5 according to the second relative position of the sound source.

[0097] If the sound identifier only indicates the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction compared with the controlled virtual character, the corresponding sound identifier can be selected and displayed from Table 2 in FIG. 5 according to the first relative position.

[0098] Optionally, the sound identifier corresponding to the sound source can include multiple candidate display identifier parts, and the part to be displayed can be determined according to the position information of the sound source, so as to indicate the information of the sound source based on the sound identifier itself.

[0099] For example, the sound mark can include four parts of up, down, left and right. The up and down parts are used to indicate the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction, and the left and right parts are used to indicate the second relative position of the sound source compared with the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction. Assuming that there is a sound source above the controlled virtual character and on the left side of the virtual scene not displayed, the up and left parts of the sound mark are displayed. If the sound source is above the controlled virtual character and in the virtual scene displayed in the game interface, the up part of the sound mark is displayed, or the up, left and right parts of the sound mark are displayed.

[0100] Therefore, in an embodiment, the sound mark corresponding to the sound source includes a plurality of candidate displayed mark parts. The sound mark of the sound source is displayed on the game interface based on the first relative position, including:

[0101] According to the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character, a target mark part is determined from the plurality of candidate displayed mark parts of the sound mark, wherein the target mark part corresponding to the sound source of different first relative positions is different;

[0102] According to the first relative position, a target display area is determined from the first display area and the second display area;

[0103] In the target display area, the target mark part of the sound mark is displayed.

[0104] The sound mark corresponding to the sound source includes a plurality of candidate displayed mark parts. The plurality of candidate displayed mark parts can be completely displayed or partially displayed. The information of the sound source can be conveyed through the style of the sound mark itself by different display of the sound mark.

[0105] The candidate displayed mark part of the sound mark corresponding to the sound source can be two or more. Specifically, the accuracy of direction indication can be set. If the accuracy of the direction to be indicated is low, the number of candidate displayed mark parts is smaller. Each candidate displayed mark part can indicate the position of the sound source, or a plurality of candidate displayed mark parts can indicate the position of the sound source.

[0106] For example, the sound mark and the displayed target mark part corresponding to the sound source at different positions in the virtual scene are shown in FIG. 6.

[0107] Optionally, the display style of the sound identifier can also only indicate the second relative position of the sound source compared to the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction, and different second relative positions can correspond to different candidate displayed identifier parts. For example, the sound identifier can be an arrow in the "interface column" column shown in Table 1 of FIG. 5. If the sound source is located on the left side of the interface, the part shown in the "interface left side" column is displayed. If the sound source is located on the right side of the interface, the part shown in the "interface right side" column is displayed. If the sound source is located in the virtual scene in the interface, the part shown in the "interface inside" column is displayed.

[0108] Optionally, the display style of the sound identifier can also only indicate the first relative position of the sound source compared to the controlled virtual character. Different first relative positions can correspond to different candidate displayed identifier parts.

[0109] For example, the sound identifier can be an arrow in the "same layer column" column shown in Table 2 of FIG. 5. If the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character, the identifier part shown in the "upper layer" column is displayed. If the sound source is located below the controlled virtual character, the identifier part shown in the "lower layer" column is displayed. If the sound source is located in the same layer as the controlled virtual character, the identifier part shown in the "same layer" column is displayed.

[0110] For example, the sound identifier can be an arrow in the "same layer column" column shown in Table 2 of FIG. 5. If the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character, the identifier part shown in the "upper layer" column is displayed. If the sound source is located below the controlled virtual character, the identifier part shown in the "lower layer" column is displayed. If the sound source is located in the same layer as the controlled virtual character, the identifier part shown in the "same layer" column is displayed.

[0111] Optionally, the sound source located within the field of view of the controlled virtual character can be indicated by the azimuth value on the azimuth indicator matched with the relative position of the sound source, to indicate the second relative position of the sound source. For the sound source located outside the field of view of the controlled virtual character, the second relative position can be indicated by the style of the sound identifier. For example, the candidate displayed identifier of the sound identifier can include a horizontal indication identifier and a vertical indication identifier. The horizontal indication identifier can indicate the second relative position, and the vertical indication identifier can indicate the first relative position. Optionally, the first relative position can be indicated by the relative position of the vertical indication identifier compared to the horizontal indication identifier. If the sound source is located outside the field of view of the controlled virtual character, the horizontal indication identifier and the vertical indication identifier are selected as the target display identifier. If the sound source is located within the field of view of the controlled virtual character, the vertical indication identifier is selected as the target display identifier.

[0112] For example, the vertical indicator can be an audio waveform, and the horizontal indicator can be a target indicator with directional pointing, such as an arrow, a triangle, etc. The horizontal indicator can also include an audio waveform on the left or right side of the target indicator to indicate that the sound source is in the virtual scene on the left or right side of the controlled virtual character's field of view.

[0113] The sound indicator can be divided into two parts, and different parts indicate different second relative positions of the sound source in the horizontal direction or different first relative positions in the vertical direction relative to the controlled virtual character. In an embodiment, the multiple candidate display indicator parts include an upper half and a lower half. The upper half corresponds to sound sources above the controlled virtual character, the lower half corresponds to sound sources below the controlled virtual character, and the upper half and the lower half correspond to sound sources at the same level as the controlled virtual character.

[0114] Optionally, the upper half and the lower half can be mirror images.

[0115] In addition to indicating the position information of the sound source through the display position of the sound indicator, the display style of the sound indicator can also be used to indicate the position information of the sound source, which can enhance the indication effect of the position information of the sound source.

[0116] The sound indicator displayed on the game interface can include a first indicator part and a second indicator part. The first indicator part can indicate sound source associated information of the sound source, and the second indicator part can also indicate the sound source associated information. The sound source associated information indicated by the first indicator part and the second indicator part can be completely the same, partially the same, or different. In an embodiment, the sound indicator includes a first indicator part and a second indicator part, and each indicator part of the sound indicator indicates sound source associated information of the sound source. The sound source associated information includes at least one of the distance between the sound source and the controlled virtual character, the first relative position, the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character, the sound type, the number of sound sources, and the sound intensity.

[0117] For example, the sound can include footsteps, gunshots, explosions, etc. Different sounds correspond to different sound types. The sound intensity can indicate the volume of the sound.

[0118] The sound source associated information can be indicated by the display position of the sound indicator, the relative position of the first indicator part and the second indicator part, the display style of the first indicator part, and / or the display style of the second indicator part.

[0119] For example, the first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction, the second relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction, etc. can be indicated based on the relative position of the first identification part and the second identification part, i.e. in an embodiment, the relative position of the first identification part and the second identification part indicates the first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction, or the second relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction.

[0120] The first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction can also be indicated by the display style of the first identification part, and the second relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction can be indicated by the display style of the second identification part, i.e. in an embodiment, the display style of the first identification part indicates the first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction, and / or the display style of the second identification part indicates the second relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction.

[0121] The first identification part can be an identification with directional directivity, such as an arrow, a pointer, a triangle, etc. which can indicate a direction, and the first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character can be indicated by the direction of the arrow, the triangle, the pointer, etc. or the vibration direction of the audio waveform.

[0122] In addition to the first relative position of the first identification part relative to the second identification part indicating the first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character, the first relative position can also be indicated by the directional directivity of the first identification part, and the first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character can be further indicated by other display styles of the first identification part.

[0123] The first identification part can also be an identification without directional directivity, such as a circle, a square, and also for example, an identification of a pattern such as a loudspeaker, a footprint, a bomb, a firearm, an audio waveform, etc. In addition to the first relative position of the first identification part relative to the second identification part indicating the first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character, the first relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character can be indicated by the display style of the first identification part, such as the color, size, transparency, etc.

[0124] Similarly, the second identification part can be an identification with directional directivity, and the different second relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction can be indicated by the directional directivity of the second identification part, and the second relative position of the sound source relative to the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction can be further indicated by other display styles of the first identification part.

[0125] The second identification part can also be an identification without directional indication, which can indicate the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character through display styles such as color, size, transparency, etc.

[0126] In the following, taking the first identification part and the second identification part as arrows, pointers or triangles, the virtual scene of the game can include a displayed scene part displayed on the game interface, a left undisplayed scene part located on the left side of the displayed scene part, and a right undisplayed scene part located on the right side of the displayed scene part.

[0127] As shown in Table 1 in FIG. 5, the second part identification of the left column of the interface can indicate that the sound source is located in the left undisplayed scene part, the second part identification of the inner column of the interface can indicate that the sound source is located in the displayed scene part, and the second part identification of the right column of the interface can indicate that the sound source is located in the right undisplayed scene part.

[0128] As shown in Table 2 in FIG. 5, the first part identification of the upper column can indicate that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character, the first part identification of the same column can indicate that the sound source is located at the same level as the controlled virtual character, and the first part identification of the lower column can indicate that the sound source is located below the controlled virtual character.

[0129] The second identification part can be selected from Table 1 in FIG. 5 according to the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character, the first identification part can be selected from Table 2 in FIG. 5 according to the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction, and the display area of the first identification part can be determined according to the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction, and the sound identification can be displayed on the game interface based on the first identification part, the second identification part and the display area of the first identification part.

[0130] For example, for a sound source located in the left undisplayed scene part and above the controlled virtual character, the sound identification thereof can be as shown in FIG. 7, in which the arrow pointing to the left is the second identification part, and the other is the first identification part. In FIG. 7, the first identification part is located above the second identification part, which can indicate that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character, and the second identification part points to the left, which can indicate that the sound source is located in the left undisplayed scene part.

[0131] The relative position of the first identification part and the second identification part in the sound identification can also indicate the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character, and the relative position of the second identification part relative to the first identification part can indicate the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character.

[0132] For example, for a sound source located in the left non-displayed scene part and above the controlled virtual role, the sound mark can be shown in FIG. 8. In FIG. 8, the upward arrow is the first mark part, and the other arrow is the first mark part. In FIG. 8, the second mark part is located on the left of the first mark part, indicating that the sound source is located in the left non-displayed scene part, and the upward arrow indicates that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual role.

[0133] In another example, the sound mark can also be shown in FIG. 9. In FIG. 9, the arrow A and the arrow B are the first mark part, and the second mark part is similar to the coordinate system mark. The directions of the arrow A and the arrow B can indicate the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the vertical direction, and the positions of the arrow A and the arrow B in the coordinate system can indicate the second relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the horizontal direction. The origin of the coordinate system can correspond to the horizontal position of the controlled virtual role. The arrow A indicates that the sound source is located to the left of the controlled virtual role, and the position of the arrow B indicates that the sound source is located in the direction indicated by the dotted arrow.

[0134] Optionally, the distance between the first mark part and the origin of the coordinate system can also indicate the distance between the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the horizontal direction in the virtual scene. The greater the distance between the first mark part and the origin of the coordinate system, the greater the distance between the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the horizontal direction.

[0135] Optionally, the first mark part can include a plurality of first sub-marks, and the second mark part can also include a plurality of second sub-marks. At least one of the first sub-marks and the second sub-marks can be used to indicate the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the vertical direction and / or the second relative position in the horizontal direction. In an embodiment, the first mark part includes a plurality of first sub-marks, and / or the second mark includes a plurality of second sub-marks. The first sub-marks indicate the relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the vertical and / or horizontal direction, and / or the second sub-marks indicate the relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the vertical and / or horizontal direction. The first sub-marks and / or the second sub-marks indicate the relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the vertical or horizontal direction.

[0136] For example, the first mark part includes a plurality of first sub-marks, and the plurality of first sub-marks can jointly indicate the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the vertical direction and / or the second relative position in the horizontal direction.

[0137] Alternatively, the second mark part includes a plurality of second sub-marks, and the plurality of second sub-marks can jointly indicate the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual role in the vertical direction and / or the second relative position in the horizontal direction.

[0138] Or, the first identification part includes a plurality of first sub-identifications, and the second identification part also includes a plurality of second sub-identifications, the plurality of first sub-identifications can jointly indicate the relative position of the sound source in the vertical and / or direction compared to the controlled virtual character, and the plurality of second sub-identifications can jointly indicate the relative position of the sound source in the vertical and / or horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character.

[0139] The second identification part can include at least one second sub-identification, and the at least one second sub-identification can indicate the first relative and / or second relative position of the sound source. When the second identification part includes one second sub-identification, the display style of the second sub-identification can indicate the first relative position of the sound source. For example, the second identification part can be as shown in Table 2 of FIG. 5. Alternatively, the display style of the second sub-identification can indicate the second relative position of the sound source. For example, the second identification part can be as shown in Table 2 of FIG. 5.

[0140] The second identification part can include a plurality of second sub-identifications. For example, the second identification part can include two arrow marks as shown in FIG. 6. Each arrow mark can be considered as a sub-identification, and the information indicated by each arrow mark can be as shown in FIG. 6. Alternatively, one of the arrow marks can indicate the first relative position, and the other arrow mark can indicate the second relative position. Alternatively, the plurality of first sub-identifications can only indicate the second relative position. For example, the second identification part can include two arrow marks as shown in FIG. 6, and the two arrow marks can indicate that the sound source is located in the direction range indicated by the two arrow marks.

[0141] The first identification part includes at least one first sub-identification, and the first sub-identification can indicate the first relative position and / or the second relative position in the horizontal direction. For example, the first identification part can include a plurality of second sub-identifications. The first sub-identification located on the left or right of the second identification part can indicate the second relative position, and the first sub-identification located above or below the second identification part can indicate the first relative position. For example, the first sub-identification can be the footprint in the sound identification as shown in (1) of FIG. 10, and the first sub-identification can be the audio waveform in the sound identification as shown in (2) of FIG. 10. The second identification part can be the triangle in FIG. 10. The footprint and the audio waveform located on the left of the triangle can indicate that the sound source is located in the virtual scene outside the visual range of the left side of the controlled virtual character, which can also be referred to as the left side of the non-displayed scene part. The footprint and the audio waveform located above the triangle can indicate that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character.

[0142] Alternatively, the first identification part can only include at least one first sub-identification indicating the first relative position, and the at least one sub-identification can be located above or below the second identification part.

[0143] The first identification part can also only include at least one second sub-identification indicating the second relative position. For example, the first sub-identification can be distributed around the second identification part. The distribution of the sub-identifications around the second identification part can indicate the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character. Each sub-identification can indicate a horizontal direction. The sound source is located in the virtual scene within the range of the directions indicated by the plurality of sub-identifications. Assuming that there are two sub-identifications, one sub-identification indicates the north direction of the controlled virtual character, and the other sub-identification indicates the west direction of the controlled virtual character. It can be indicated that the sound source is located in the northwest direction of the controlled virtual character, or that the sound source is located in the west direction of the controlled virtual character and the north direction is between 0-90°. The distribution of the two sub-identifications around the second identification part can be as shown in any of the sound identifiers in FIG. 10. The second identification part is a triangle in the figure. The direction of the straight arrow in FIG. 10(1) is the direction of the sub-identification. The range indicated by the curved arrow is the range in which the sound source is located. The direction indicated by the sub-identification can be indicated by the relative position of the sub-identification and the second identification part, or can be indicated by the directivity carried by the sub-identification itself. For example, as shown in FIG. 10(2), the amplitude can be used to indicate the direction.

[0144] Optionally, the distribution of the sub-identifications around the second identification part can indicate the approximate position of the sound source. The position of the sound source can be more accurately indicated in combination with the display style of the sub-identification. For example, in the sound identifier in FIG. 10, the distribution of the two sub-identifications can indicate that the sound source is located in the virtual scene between the north direction of the controlled virtual character and the west direction of the controlled virtual character and the north direction is between 0-90°. Further, the position of the sound source can be indicated to be more north or more west by the display style of the sub-identification. For example, the position of the sound source can be indicated to be more in the direction indicated by the sub-identification with lower transparency (i.e., more obvious display) by the transparency of the sub-identification. For example, the position of the sound source can be indicated to be more in the direction indicated by the sub-identification with darker, redder, or more vivid color by the color of the sub-identification. For example, the position of the sound source can be indicated to be more in the direction indicated by the sub-identification with larger size by the size of the sub-identification. Optionally, the greater the difference between the two sub-identifications, the greater the degree of deviation. For example, the two first sub-identifications are a first target sub-identification and a second target sub-identification. The transparency of the first target sub-identification is A. The transparency of the second target sub-identification is less than A. The smaller the transparency of the second target sub-identification, the more the position of the sound source deviates to the direction indicated by the second target sub-identification.

[0145] Optionally, for the sound source located in the virtual scene outside the field of view of the controlled virtual character, a sound identifier including a first identification part and a second identification part can be used to indicate the information of the sound source. For the sound source located in the field of view of the controlled virtual character, the corresponding sound identifier only includes one identification part. That is, in an embodiment, if the sound source is located in the virtual scene outside the field of view of the controlled virtual character, the sound identifier includes the first identification part and the second identification part.

[0146] Optionally, the first identification part and the second identification part can indicate the sound source associated information of the sound source in the manner as described above in relation to the first identification part and the second identification part, which will not be repeated here.

[0147] In an embodiment, the sub-identification can be an audio waveform, and the position of the sound source can be more inclined to the direction indicated by the audio waveform with larger amplitude and / or frequency.

[0148] For example, as shown in (2) of FIG. 10, the audio waveform indicating the north direction has a larger amplitude, and the audio waveform indicating the west direction has a smaller amplitude, indicating that the sound source is located in the northwest direction and is more inclined to the north direction.

[0149] For the case of only one sub-identification, the indication manner thereof can be based on the relative position of the sub-identification relative to the second identification part, which can be referred to the above description of the relative position of the first identification part relative to the second identification part, which will not be repeated here.

[0150] In an embodiment, the sound identification can be a part of the complete identification (i.e., the composite information identification) of the sound source, and the composite information identification can further include a position reference identification.

[0151] In addition to the above-mentioned embodiments in which the position reference identification in the composite information identification is used as the reference of the layer where the controlled virtual object is located, the composite information identification can also be displayed when the sound source emits a specified sound in the virtual scene, and the position reference identification in the composite information identification is used as the reference, and the relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction is indicated by the relative position of the sound identification and the position reference identification.

[0152] That is, the position reference identification can be used as the reference of the layer where the controlled virtual object is located, that is, in an embodiment, the sound identification is a part of the composite information identification, and the composite information identification further includes the position reference identification, the first display area is aligned with the position reference identification in the horizontal direction, the upper display area is above the position reference identification, and the lower display area is below the position reference identification.

[0153] Therefore, the position relationship between the first display area, the upper display area, the lower display area, and the position reference identification can be that the horizontal position of the first display area on the game interface is flush with the horizontal position of the position reference identification, the upper display area is above the position reference identification, and the lower display area is below the position reference identification.

[0154] With the indicator or other interface elements on the game interface as the reference object, since the interface elements are fixedly displayed on the game interface, the display positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface are absolute positions, and with the position reference mark as the reference object, the display positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface are relative to the display position of the position reference mark and whether the display is related, so the display positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface are relative positions.

[0155] Exemplarily, the position reference mark of the composite information mark and the positional relationship between each display area and the position reference mark can be as shown in FIG. 11.

[0156] Optionally, compared with the sound sources with different second relative positions of the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction, the positional relationship between each display area and the position reference mark in the corresponding composite information mark is different. Exemplarily, for the sound source located in the left non-displayed virtual scene, the positional relationship between the position reference mark and each display area in the sound mark can be as shown in (1) of FIG. 11, for the sound source located in the right non-displayed virtual scene, the positional relationship between the position reference mark and each display area in the sound mark can be as shown in (3) of FIG. 11, and for the sound source located in the displayed virtual scene of the game interface, the positional relationship between the position reference mark and each display area in the sound mark can be as shown in (2) of FIG. 11.

[0157] The first relative position of the sound mark compared with the position reference mark can indicate the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual object in the vertical direction, and the position reference mark can be used to indicate the second relative position of the sound source compared with the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction, that is, in an embodiment, the position reference mark is used to indicate the second relative position of the sound source compared with the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction.

[0158] For example, the second relative position of the sound source compared with the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction can be indicated by the display position or display style of the position reference mark on the game interface. The display position of the position reference mark on the game interface indicates the second relative position of the sound source compared with the controlled virtual character in the horizontal direction, which can be referred to the above-mentioned embodiment related to the content of indicating the direction of the sound source by the display position of the sound mark. For example, taking FIG. 4 as an example, the position reference mark is displayed in part A of FIG. 4, indicating that the sound source is located in the left non-displayed virtual scene, is displayed in part C, indicating that the sound source is located in the right non-displayed virtual scene, and is displayed in part B, indicating that the sound source is located in the displayed virtual scene.

[0159] In addition, as shown in FIG. 12, the position reference identifier can be displayed on the line connecting the controlled virtual character and the sound source, and the line connecting the controlled virtual character and the sound source can be determined based on the position of the sound source and the position of the controlled virtual character. The composite information identifier in FIG. 12 can indicate that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character and in the position indicated by the dashed arrow in the figure.

[0160] The second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character can also be indicated by the display style of the position reference identifier. For details, reference can be made to the above embodiment in which the sound identifier includes a first identifier part and a second identifier part. The position reference identifier can correspond to the second identifier part, and the sound identifier can correspond to the first identifier part. The display mode and display style of the position reference identifier in this embodiment can refer to the description of the second identifier part, and the display mode and display style of the sound identifier can refer to the description of the first identifier part, which will not be repeated here.

[0161] Since the position reference identifier can be used as a reference for the layer in which the controlled virtual character is located, and can also indicate the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character, the same position reference identifier can be used for sound sources with the same second relative position. In an embodiment, the composite information identifier includes a sound identifier corresponding to each sound source with the same second relative position in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character. The sound sources with the same second relative position and different first relative positions are displayed in different display areas, and the sound sources with the same second relative position and the same first relative position are displayed in the same display area.

[0162] Since the first display area, the upper display area, and the lower display area are respectively used to display sound identifiers of sound sources with different first relative positions in the vertical direction relative to the controlled virtual character, the display areas of sound identifiers of sound sources with the same first relative position are the same, and the sound identifiers can be displayed at the same position or different positions in the same display area. If the sound identifiers are displayed at different positions, the distance between the sound identifiers and the position reference identifier can be used to indicate the distance between the sound source and the controlled virtual character. The display areas of sound identifiers of sound sources with different first relative positions are different.

[0163] The sound sources with the same second relative position in the horizontal direction relative to the controlled virtual character can include sound sources that emit the specified sound at the same time and / or sound sources that emit the specified sound until another sound source stops emitting the specified sound.

[0164] In an embodiment, the sound identifier includes an audio waveform, and the display style of the audio waveform indicates the sound source association information of the sound source.

[0165] The display style of the audio waveform can include shape, size, color, transparency, amplitude, vibration direction, etc.

[0166] For example, different shapes of the audio waveform can indicate different types of sound, different shapes of the audio waveform can refer to different smoothness of the waveform, some waveforms change rapidly in a short time, and the smoothness of the waveform is low. For example, two audio waveforms shown in FIG. 13 can indicate different types of sound, specifically, (1) in FIG. 13 can indicate the sound emitted by a firearm, and (2) in FIG. 13 can indicate the sound emitted by a projectile.

[0167] The color of the audio waveform can indicate different sound sources or different types of sound sources, such as firearms, projectiles, and virtual characters marked with different colored audio waveforms. It can also be that for two types of sound sources, virtual characters and virtual props, different colored audio waveforms are used for marking. For example, the audio waveform of the footsteps emitted by the virtual character can be white, and the audio waveform of the gunshots and explosions can be orange.

[0168] The amplitude of the audio waveform can indicate the distance and / or strength of the sound, such as for the same type of sound, the sound is stronger when it is close, and the sound is weaker when it is far away, so a large amplitude indicates that the sound source is close to the controlled virtual character, and a small amplitude indicates that the sound source is far away from the controlled virtual character. For example, two audio waveforms shown in FIG. 14 can indicate two sound sources with different distances. For different types of sound, the intensity of the sound emitted by the two at the same location is different, so the distance or strength can be indicated by the amplitude.

[0169] The transparency of the audio waveform can also indicate the distance and / or strength of the sound source, such as for the same type of sound, the sound is stronger when it is close, and the sound is weaker when it is far away, so a low transparency audio waveform can indicate that the sound source is close to the controlled virtual character, and a high transparency audio waveform can indicate that the sound source is far away from the controlled virtual character. For different types of sound, the intensity of the sound emitted by the two at the same location is different, so the distance or strength can be indicated by the transparency.

[0170] The vibration direction of the audio waveform can be used to indicate the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction compared to the controlled virtual character, the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character, etc. For example, the vibration direction upward can indicate that the sound source is located above the controlled virtual character; the vibration direction downward can indicate that the sound source is located below the controlled virtual character; the audio waveform vibrates upward and downward can indicate that the sound source is in the same layer as the controlled virtual character.

[0171] The vibration direction to the left can indicate that the sound source is located at the left side of the virtual scene not displayed; and the vibration direction to the right can indicate that the sound source is located at the right side of the virtual scene not displayed.

[0172] In an embodiment, the display state of the sound mark can be updated to indicate that the position information of the sound source in the virtual scene has changed, that is, in an embodiment, the information prompting method provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can further include:

[0173] In response to the position information of the sound source in the virtual scene changing, the display state of the sound mark corresponding to the sound source is updated, and the display state includes at least one of a display position and a display style of the sound mark on the game interface.

[0174] For example, when the position information of the sound source in the virtual scene changes, the display position and the display style of the sound mark on the game interface can be determined according to the changed position information, and the sound mark is updated based on the display position and the display style.

[0175] In addition, an update animation of the sound mark can also be displayed, for example, if the display position of the sound mark changes, a moving animation of the sound mark moving to the changed display position can be displayed.

[0176] As can be seen from the above, by displaying the game interface, the content displayed by the game interface includes at least part of the virtual scene and the controlled virtual character in the virtual scene; the position information of the sound source emitting the specified sound in the virtual scene is obtained; the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction compared to the controlled virtual character is determined according to the position information and the current position of the controlled virtual character in the virtual scene; the sound mark of the sound source is displayed on the game interface based on the first relative position, wherein the sound mark of the sound source located at the same layer as the controlled virtual character is displayed in the first display area, and the sound mark of the sound source located at a different layer from the controlled virtual character is displayed in the second display area, and the display positions of the first display area and the second display area in the vertical direction are different, so that different display areas on the game interface can be realized to display the sound marks with different first relative positions of the sound source in the vertical direction to the controlled virtual character, so that the position relationship between the sound source and the controlled virtual character can be indicated by the display position of the sound mark on the game interface, and the player can know the position of the sound source through the display position of the sound mark, thereby improving the information recognition degree of the sound in the game scene, the player can accurately know the source of the sound, and can take timely measures, thereby improving the playability of the game and improving the game experience of the player.

[0177] Further, the sound source visualization can improve the reaction speed of the player to the sound, thereby reducing the number of deaths of the controlled virtual character controlled by the player, prolonging the duration of each game, and reducing the number of times the player restarts the game. The terminal does not need to respond to the death of the controlled virtual character frequently, and the response to the player restarting the game is reduced, the response frequency of the electronic device is reduced, the computing resources of the electronic device are saved, and the information prompting method is provided.

[0178] In order to better illustrate the information prompting method provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the following will be further described in detail on the basis of the above embodiments.

[0179] Based on the sound identifier, there are various ways to indicate the related information of the sound source, which are as follows:

[0180] I. The display position of the sound identifier corresponding to the sound source on the game interface indicates the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction compared to the controlled virtual character.

[0181] For example, the sound identifier displayed on the first display area and the second display area on the game interface can indicate the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction of the virtual scene compared to the controlled virtual character. If the sound source is in the same layer as the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction, the sound identifier of the sound source can be displayed in the first display area. If the sound source is not in the same layer as the controlled virtual character, for example, the controlled virtual character is on the first floor of a building, and the sound source is on the third floor or the fourth floor of the building, etc., the sound identifier of the sound source is displayed in the second display area.

[0182] In an embodiment, the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction is divided into three types, which are above the controlled virtual character, in the same layer as the controlled virtual character, and below the controlled virtual character. Correspondingly, three display areas can be set, which are the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area. Among them, the first display area is used to display the sound identifier of the sound source in the same layer as the controlled virtual character, the upper display area is used to display the sound identifier of the sound source above the controlled virtual character, and the lower display area is used to display the sound identifier of the sound source below the controlled virtual character.

[0183] Optionally, the positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be determined based on the orientation indicator on the game interface as a reference. For example, the positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in FIG. 3.

[0184] Based on this, the player can know the position of the sound source in the vertical direction through the position of the sound identifier on the game interface.

[0185] Optionally, the positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in FIG. 11. The positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be determined based on the position reference mark in the composite information mark as a reference. The positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in FIG. 11.

[0186] II. The display position of the sound mark of the sound source on the game interface indicates the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character.

[0187] For example, the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character can be divided into being located in the displayed scene part of the game interface, being located in the left undisplayed scene part and being located in the right undisplayed scene part. The sound marks of the sound sources in different second relative positions in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character are displayed in different area parts of the display area. Corresponding to the three second relative positions, the display area can be divided into three parts, each part being used to display the sound mark of the sound source in one second relative position. For example, the display area can be divided into A, B and C parts as shown in FIG. 4. The A part can be used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in the left undisplayed scene part. The B part can be used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in the displayed scene part. The C part can be used to display the sound mark of the sound source located in the right undisplayed scene part.

[0188] In combination with the display area where the sound mark is located and the display position in the display area, the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction compared to the controlled virtual character and the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character can be indicated.

[0189] It is mentioned in the above indication method that the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area can be referenced based on the direction indicator on the game interface or based on the position reference mark in the composite information mark.

[0190] Therefore, in another embodiment, the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area can adopt different distribution manners for different sound sources in different second relative positions in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character.

[0191] For example, for a sound source located in the displayed scene part of the game interface, the positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in FIG. 3. For a sound source located in the left non-displayed scene part of the game interface, the positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in (3) of FIG. 11; for a sound source located in the right non-displayed scene part of the game interface, the positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in (2) of FIG. 11.

[0192] In an embodiment, for a sound source located in the displayed scene part of the game interface, the specific position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character can be indicated based on the position indicator. For example, the position value of the sound source can be determined according to the position information, if the position value indicates that the sound source is located in the displayed scene part, the target position corresponding to the position value of the sound source is determined on the position indicator, and the sound identifier of the sound source is located on the vertical line where the target position is located.

[0193] For example, as shown in FIG. 4, for a sound source with a position value of 210, the display positions of the sound identifier of the sound source are position 1 and position 2 in FIG. 4, and whether the sound identifier is displayed on position 1 or position 2 depends on the first relative position of the sound source and the controlled virtual character in the vertical direction.

[0194] Optionally, if the sound source is located in the left non-displayed scene part of the game interface, the positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in (3) of FIG. 11; if the sound source is located in the right non-displayed scene part of the game interface, the positions of the first display area, the upper display area and the lower display area on the game interface can be as shown in (2) of FIG. 11.

[0195] Optionally, the composite information identifier of the sound source located in the left non-displayed scene part can be displayed in the interface area left of the position indicator, and the composite information identifier of the sound source located in the right non-displayed scene part can be displayed in the interface area right of the position indicator, so as to indicate the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character through the display position of the composite information identifier; the sizes of the first display area and the second display area shown in FIG. 3 can be adjusted to be the same as the length of the indicator.

[0196] For a sound source located in the virtual scene outside the visual field range of the controlled virtual character, the position of the sound source can be indicated through the display position of the composite information identifier on the game interface, and the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character can be indicated through the display position of the composite information identifier, as shown in FIG. 12.

[0197] Three, the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction compared to the controlled virtual character is indicated by the display style of the mark.

[0198] For example, for a sound mark composed of one pattern (hereinafter referred to as a first sound mark for distinction), the first sound mark can be a mark carrying directional directivity, such as an arrow, a pointer, a triangle, an audio waveform, etc., wherein the vibration direction of the audio waveform can be used to indicate the first relative position, and the relationship between the display style of the first sound mark and the indicated first relative position can be as shown in Table 2 of FIG. 5.

[0199] For a sound mark composed of two or more patterns (hereinafter referred to as a second sound mark for distinction), the display style of the first mark part of the second sound mark can indicate the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction compared to the controlled virtual character. There are various ways for the first mark part to indicate the first relative position, such as indicating the first relative position of the sound source compared to the controlled virtual character by the first relative position of the first mark part in the vertical direction compared to the second mark part, which can be as shown in FIG. 7; or for example, the first mark part can be a mark carrying directional directivity, and the first relative position of the sound source compared to the controlled virtual character is indicated by the direction of the first mark part, and the relationship between the display style of the first mark part and the indicated first relative position can be as shown in Table 2 of FIG. 5; optionally, the first relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction can be indicated by both the directivity of the first mark part and the first relative position of the first mark part in the vertical direction compared to the second mark part.

[0200] For a composite information mark, the indication method is the same as that of the second sound mark, which will not be repeated here.

[0201] Four, the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared to the controlled virtual character is indicated by the display style of the mark.

[0202] For the second sound mark, the display style of the second mark part can indicate the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character. The second mark part can indicate the relative position in various ways, for example, by the relative position of the second mark part in the vertical direction compared with the first mark part, the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character can be indicated, which can be specifically shown in FIG. 8; for another example, the second mark part can be a mark with a directional pointing, the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character can be indicated by the pointing of the second mark part, the display style of the second mark part and the second relative position of the sound source in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character can be specifically shown in Table 1 of FIG. 5; optionally, the relative position of the sound source in the vertical direction can be indicated by the pointing of the second mark part and the relative position of the first mark part in the vertical direction compared with the second mark part.

[0203] Optionally, for the sound source with different second relative position in the horizontal direction compared with the controlled virtual character, different marks can be used to indicate the sound source, for example, the sound source in the virtual scene within the visual field range of the controlled virtual character can be indicated by the first sound mark, and the sound source in the virtual scene outside the visual field range of the controlled virtual character can be indicated by the second sound mark or the composite information mark.

[0204] Five, the display style of the mark indicates other associated information of the sound source in addition to the position information.

[0205] For example, the display style of the mark can include shape, color, size, transparency, etc., and the other associated information of the sound source can include sound source type, sound type, sound strength, sound distance.

[0206] The sound source type can include virtual characters, virtual props, etc., the virtual characters can emit footstep sound, speaking sound, scream sound, etc., and the virtual props can emit corresponding sound effects such as explosion sound, gun sound, etc. when used.

[0207] The sound type can include the sound emitted by different sound sources and the different sounds emitted by the same sound source.

[0208] For example, the sound source type can be indicated by color, the colors of the marks (the first sound mark, the second sound mark, and the composite information mark) of different sound source types are different, the sound type can be indicated by the shape of the mark, the shapes of the marks corresponding to different sound types are different, for example, the footstep sound can be indicated by the mark with the “footprint” pattern, and the explosion sound of the virtual projectile can be indicated by the mark with the “projectile” pattern.

[0209] The size of the mark can indicate at least one of the sound strength and the sound distance, and the transparency of the mark can indicate at least one of the sound strength and the sound distance.
