[0016] Embodiments of this disclosure will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While some embodiments of this disclosure are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of this disclosure. It should be understood that the accompanying drawings and embodiments of this disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0017] It should be noted that the headings of any section / subsection provided herein are not limiting. Various embodiments are described throughout this document, and embodiments of any type may be included under any section / subsection. Furthermore, embodiments described in any section / subsection may be combined in any way with any other embodiments described in the same section / subsection and / or different sections / subsections.

[0018] In the description of embodiments of this disclosure, the term "comprising" and similar terms should be understood as open-ended inclusion, i.e., "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 also be included below.

Further, the virtual object corresponding to the second visual representation can be presented in the session interface.

[0023] In this way, embodiments of the present disclosure can enable participants in a session to customize the virtual objects presented in the session interface to help more accurately represent the participants in the session, thereby improving the interactive experience.

[0024] The following section provides a detailed description of various example implementations of this scheme, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Example Environment

[0026] Figure 1 illustrates a schematic diagram of an example environment 100 in which embodiments of the present disclosure can be implemented. As shown in Figure 1, the example environment 100 may include an electronic device 110.

[0027] In this example environment 100, electronic device 110 may run an application 120 that supports user interface interaction. Application 120 may be any suitable type of application for user interface interaction, examples of which may include, but are not limited to, instant messaging applications, social applications, image applications, or other suitable applications. User 140 may interact with application 120 via electronic device 110 and / or its attached devices.

[0028] In environment 100 of Figure 1, if application 120 is active, electronic device 110 can use application 120 to present interface 150 for supporting interface interaction.

[0029] In some embodiments, electronic device 110 communicates with server 130 to provide services to application 120. Electronic device 110 can be any type of mobile terminal, fixed terminal, or portable terminal, including mobile phones, desktop computers, laptop computers, notebook computers, netbook computers, tablet computers, media computers, multimedia tablets, handheld computers, portable gaming terminals, VR / AR devices, personal communication system (PCS) devices, personal navigation devices, personal digital assistants (PDAs), audio / video players, digital cameras / camcorders, positioning devices, television receivers, radio receivers, e-book devices, gaming devices, or any combination thereof, including accessories and peripherals of these devices or any combination thereof. In some embodiments, electronic device 110 can also support any type of user-facing interface (such as "wearable" circuitry).

[0030] Server 130 can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing basic cloud computing services such as cloud services, cloud databases, cloud computing, cloud functions, cloud storage, network services, cloud communication, middleware services, domain name services, security services, content delivery networks, and big data and artificial intelligence platforms. Server 130 may include, for example, computing systems / servers such as mainframes, edge computing nodes, computing devices in a cloud environment, etc. Server 130 can provide backend services for applications 120 that support virtual scenarios in electronic devices 110.

[0031] A communication connection can be established between server 130 and electronic device 110. This communication connection can be established via wired or wireless means. The communication connection may include, but is not limited to, Bluetooth, mobile network, Universal Serial Bus (USB), and Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) connections; the embodiments of this disclosure are not limited in this respect. In the embodiments of this disclosure, server 130 and electronic device 110 can achieve signaling interaction through the communication connection between them.

[0032] It should be understood that the structure and function of the various elements in environment 100 are described for illustrative purposes only and do not imply any limitation on the scope of this disclosure.

[0033] The following description will continue with reference to the accompanying drawings, which will provide some exemplary embodiments of this disclosure.

[0034] Example Interaction

[0035] Figures 2A to 2F illustrate example interfaces 200A to 200E according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. Interfaces 200A to 200F may be provided, for example, by the electronic device 110 shown in Figure 1.

[0036] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may present a session interface 200A as shown in FIG2A. As an example, such a session interface 200A may be associated with the current user and the target object (e.g., user A).

[0037] As shown in Figure 2A, the electronic device 110 can present a first visual representation 205 of a virtual object in a session interface 200A. Such a first visual representation 205 may include a dynamic visual representation or a static visual representation.

[0038] In some embodiments, the virtual object 205 may be a jointly interacting virtual object obtained based on the interaction between the current user and the target object.

[0039] As an example, such a virtual object could include a virtual pet associated with both the current user and the target object. Additionally, at least one attribute of the virtual object could be updated accordingly based on interaction events between the current user and the target object, such that the virtual object could, for example, have different visual representations and / or different interactive capabilities.

[0040] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2B, electronic device 110 may present a viewing interface 200B of a virtual object in response to a user's viewing request. In the viewing interface 200B, electronic device 110 may display the current visual representation of the virtual object, for example, a first visual representation 205.

[0041] Additionally, the electronic device 110 may also provide an editing entry 210 in the viewing interface 200B, and may present the editing interface 200C as shown in FIG2C based on the selection of the editing entry 210.

[0042] In other examples, the editing interface 200C may also be triggered to appear based on other appropriate means. For example, the electronic device 110 may receive a preset operation (e.g., long press, etc.) on the first visual representation 205 and may present the editing interface 200C accordingly.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2C, the editing interface 200C may include, for example, a canvas area 210 and an element selection area 220. The canvas area 210 may, for example, display the current visual representation of the virtual object.

[0044] As shown in Figure 2C, the electronic device 110 can present a set of candidate elements 225 in the editing interface. Such candidate elements 225 can include any suitable elements such as decoration elements.

[0045] As an example, the electronic device 110 can receive a user's selection of at least one element (e.g., element 225) in the element selection area 220 and can update the canvas area 215 accordingly to display an updated visual representation of the virtual object.

[0046] In some embodiments, the elements 225 provided in the element selection area 220 may include preset elements. For example, such preset elements may be provided to all users on the platform for decorating virtual objects.

[0047] In some embodiments, the elements 225 provided in the element selection area 220 may also include elements obtained based on the historical interaction operations of the current user and / or target object (e.g., user A) associated with the virtual object.

[0048] As an example, if the current user's interaction with the target object meets preset conditions, specific elements for dressing up the virtual object can be provided to the current user. As another example, the current user and / or the target object can also obtain additional elements through other interactive operations within the platform.

[0049] In some embodiments, the element selection area 220 may provide different tabs for displaying different types of elements. For example, such different types of elements may include elements for decorating different parts of a space, and elements for decorating the background, etc.

[0050] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also support user-uploaded elements to update the visual representation of the editable virtual object. For example, the electronic device 110 may acquire at least one uploaded element via the editing interface 200C. Furthermore, the electronic device 110 may update the visual representation of the virtual object based on the uploaded at least one element.

[0051] As an example, the electronic device 110 can receive sticker elements uploaded by the user and add the sticker elements to a predetermined area of ​​the canvas area 215, thereby updating the visual representation of the virtual object.

[0052] The following description of the process of editing a visual representation will use the selection of a specific element as an example. In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may receive, for example, a user's selection of element 225 (e.g., a click operation) and may accordingly add element 225 to the corresponding position in the visual representation to be edited.

[0053] In some embodiments, the position where element 225 is added can be automatically determined based on the type of element 225. As an example, element 225 may be a headdress element. Accordingly, electronic device 110 can receive a user's click operation on element 225 and add element 225 to the head position of the visual representation displayed on the canvas area accordingly.

[0054] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 can also determine the location where the element 225 is added based on user interaction. For example, the electronic device 110 can receive a user's drag operation on the element 225 and can move the element 225 to the target location specified by the drag operation. For example, the electronic device 110 can support the user to drag the element 225 to any appropriate location in the canvas area 215.

[0055] In some embodiments, when a user clicks or drags element 225, the electronic device 110 may, for example, present one or more candidate locations in the canvas area 215 that match element 225. Such candidate locations may, for example, indicate locations where element 225 can be added.

[0056] For example, when element 225 is clicked or dragged, electronic device 110 can display one or more locations at the head of the virtual object in canvas area 215 as candidate locations that can be added.

[0057] Furthermore, the electronic device 110 can receive a click on a specific candidate position, or it can receive an operation to drag the element 225 to a specific candidate position, thereby adding the element 225 to that specific candidate position.

[0058] In some embodiments, if element 225 is instructed to be added to a target location, and if a specific element already exists at the target location in the visual representation displayed in the canvas area 215, the electronic device 110 may also remove the specific element from the visual representation accordingly.

[0059] As an example, the visual representation in canvas area 215 may be that another element was previously decorated at the head position. Accordingly, when element 225 is selected to be added to the head position, the electronic device 110 will use element 225 to replace the previous element at the head position, rather than overlaying element 225 on top of the previous element.

[0060] In some embodiments, if the visual representation displayed in the canvas area 215 includes a specific element corresponding to the type of the element 225 to be added, the electronic device 110 may also remove the specific element from the visual representation accordingly.

[0061] As an example, the visual representation in canvas area 215 may already be decorated with headdress elements. Accordingly, when a new headdress element 225 is selected, the electronic device 110 will use element 225 to replace the previous headdress element.

[0062] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG2D, the virtual object may also be associated with a base visual representation 230. Such a base visual representation 230 may represent, for example, a base visual model or image of the virtual object. The first visual representation 205 described above may be generated based on such a base visual representation 230.

[0063] In some embodiments, such a basic visual representation 230 may be configured to have one or more preset mounting positions (also known as anchor positions), such as mounting position 235-1, mounting position 235-2, mounting position 235-3 and mounting position 235-4 (referred to individually or collectively as mounting position 235).

[0064] In some embodiments, if the position where element 225 is added matches the mounting position 235, element 225 will be associated with the base visual representation 230 in a first manner. Specifically, the first manner may indicate that the movement of element 230 is associated with the movement of a predetermined part of the base visual representation 230. For example, taking FIG2C as an example, when element 225 is added to mounting position 235-1, element 225 may move accordingly with the head movement of the base visual representation 230.

[0065] In some embodiments, if the location where element 225 is added does not match the mounting location 235, element 225 will be associated with the base visual representation 230 in a second manner. Specifically, the second manner may indicate that the movement of element 230 is independent of the movement of a predetermined part of the base visual representation 230. For example, taking FIG2C as an example, if the location where element 225 is added is not the mounting location 235, then element 225 will, for example, not move, or the movement of element 225 will be unrelated to the movement of the base visual representation 230.

[0066] Referring again to Figure 2C, after editing the visual representation, the electronic device 110 can receive confirmation from the user of the edited visual representation (e.g., a click on button 222). Accordingly, as shown in Figure 2E, the electronic device 110 can update the first visual representation 205 of the virtual object to the edited second visual representation 240, and can display the updated second visual representation 240 in the virtual object viewing interface 200E. As shown in Figure 2E, the second visual representation 240 may include elements 225 added by the user, such as headwear elements.

[0067] In some embodiments, upon receiving an editing request for the visual representation of a virtual object, the electronic device 110 may, for example, display a basic visual representation of the virtual object in a canvas area. Further, the electronic device 110 may, for example, support a user adding one or more elements to the basic visual representation to obtain a second visual representation of the virtual object.

[0068] Furthermore, as shown in FIG2F, the electronic device 110 can switch the session interface 200F to a second visual representation 240 that displays virtual objects, so that the second visual representation 240 can be presented to the current user and / or the target object.

[0069] In some embodiments, the interactive characteristics associated with a virtual object can vary depending on the visual representation of the virtual object. For example, taking FIG2F as an example, when the second visual representation 240 includes element 225, the virtual object can provide interactive characteristics specific to element 225. That is, such interactive characteristics are only provided when element 225 is included in the visual representation.

[0070] In some embodiments, interactive features may indicate actions that are triggered when preset conditions are met. For example, when the second visual representation 240 includes element 225, the virtual object may be triggered to display an animation of removing the headdress element 225 when a specific type of message is received in the session. As yet another example, when the second visual representation 240 includes element 225, the virtual object may be triggered to send a specific emoticon to another participant in the session (e.g., user A) when a user triggers the second visual representation 240.

[0071] It should be understood that the specific interactive features described above are merely examples and are not intended to constitute a limitation of this disclosure.

[0072] In some embodiments, the electronic device 110 may also display motion effects (e.g., animations) associated with the second visual representation 240 in a session interface or a virtual object viewing interface.

[0073] In some embodiments, such motion effects may include a first motion effect associated with the underlying visual representation of the virtual object, such as movement of a specific part of the body (e.g., head shaking). Additionally, such motion effects may also include a second motion effect of at least one added element, such as movement of a water cup element toward the mouth.

[0074] In some embodiments, the second motion effect of at least one element can also be triggered based on the first motion effect of the basic visual representation. For example, when the basic visual representation is triggered to perform a head-shaking motion, the headdress element associated with the head position can be triggered to perform the corresponding swaying motion.

[0075] In some embodiments, the motion process of at least one element (e.g., motion trajectory, motion direction, motion speed, etc.) can be determined based on the mounting position of at least one element in the basic visual representation.

[0076] Based on the process described above, embodiments of this disclosure can support participants in a session to customize virtual objects presented in the session interface to help more accurately represent the participants and thus improve the interactive experience. Furthermore, such virtual objects can, for example, be associated with different interactive characteristics based on changes in visual representation, thereby improving the efficiency of message interaction.

[0077] It should be understood that the appearance, type, number, etc. of the specific virtual objects mentioned above are intended as examples and do not constitute a limitation of this disclosure.
