The following specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes can not be described in some embodiments. In addition, in one or more embodiments, specific features, structures, or characteristics can be combined by any suitable means from the present disclosure that will be clear to those of ordinary skill in the art.

[0031] When reading an exciting story, some users may imagine themselves as a character in the story and act out the story. Although television dramas, movies, and audio books can convey the content of the story to users through more visual and auditory means, users cannot immerse themselves in such works. Therefore, the immersion of users is still limited.

[0032] The present disclosure provides an interactive method, device, storage medium and computer program product to solve the technical problem of how to improve user immersion when providing a story for a user.

[0033] FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an interactive method according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the interactive method of this embodiment includes steps S102-S106. The interactive method of this embodiment can be executed by a user device, for example, a user device of a first user.

[0034] In step S102, the story progress of the character is determined according to the character of the first user in the story.

[0035] The story can also be referred to as a script, which describes the plot of one or more characters. It can be carried in a text manner. Part or all of the content of the story can be displayed to the user, or the story can not be displayed to the user. The application can provide one or more selectable stories to the user to determine the story progress of the character according to the character of the first user in the story selected by the first user.

[0036] The character of the first user in the story can be a default setting or a selection of the first user.

[0037] The story progress of the character refers to the plot content currently involved by the character, or the starting point of the plot currently involved by the character in the story, or the starting point and the ending point. For example, a story can include one or more story nodes, and each character in the story can also be involved in part or all of the nodes. Based on the story progress, it can be determined which story nodes corresponding to the plot images need to be displayed at present. Since not all characters in some stories will appear in all story nodes, the current story node can be more accurately determined according to the character of the first user. Further, the story content corresponding to the current story node can be determined.

[0038] In step S104, a plot image of the role is generated according to the information from the first user and the story progress of the role.

[0039] The information from the first user refers to information input or specified by the first user. The information from the first user can include at least one of text, image, etc. For example, the user can upload, input or select the information.

[0040] The information from the first user is used to describe the characteristics of the role. In a story, a role is endowed with certain characteristics according to the content of the story or the role setting of the story. The information from the first user can further add characteristics to the role. For example, a role is set as a female student, and the role has female dress and clothing, and the user's information can further determine its appearance, such as facial features, hairstyle, etc.

[0041] In some embodiments, a plot image of the role is generated according to the image of the first user and the story progress of the role. The image of the first user can be an image of oneself, such as a photo, a cartoon image, etc. In this way, the generated plot image has the role, and the role appears in the image of the first user, realizing an effect similar to generating a digital avatar of the first user in the story. Thus, the user can have a more immersive story experience.

[0042] Of course, the above examples do not limit the solutions of the present disclosure. The first user can also use other types of information to represent the characteristics of the ideal role, to flexibly generate the plot image of the role.

[0043] When generating the plot image, the story progress of the role is also referred to. Thus, the generated plot image can also match the story progress. For example, the story progress describes the experience of the role of the first user in the forest, and the generated image can be an image of the role in the forest, and the role in the image matches the information from the user.

[0044] In some embodiments, a generative model for generating images is used to generate the plot image. For example, the information from the first user and the story progress can be input into the model, and the generated object is instructed. Thus, a plot image that matches the plot corresponding to the information from the user and the story progress is generated. The generative model can be a model for generating images based on text (text-to-image model), or a multi-modal model for generating images based on text and image. The generative model can be a large language model (LLM) or a foundation model.

[0045] In step S106, the plot image is displayed. Thus, the first user can see the image that is generated based on the information provided by the first user and that matches the current story.

[0046] After the plot image is displayed, the story progress of the first user's character in the story can be updated. Thus, steps S102 to S106 can be executed again to generate a new plot image based on the updated story progress.

[0047] After the plot is displayed, the first user can share the plot image with the second user. For example, an operation of the first user to share the plot image with the second user can be received. In response to the operation, the plot image can be sent to the second user. The shared content can include only the image itself, or can further carry other information, such as a link to access the story homepage of the first user, or a link to access the application, and so on.

[0048] Any of steps S102 to S106 can be triggered based on a specified operation of the user. For example, the story progress can be determined based on the specified operation of the user (i.e., step S102), and then steps S104 and S106 are executed in sequence; for another example, steps S102 are executed by default first, and then steps S104 and S106 are executed in response to the specified operation of the user; for another example, steps S102 and S104 are executed by default first, and then step S106 is executed in response to the specified operation of the user. The more steps that are executed by default, the more computing resources and storage resources can be occupied, because the user can not perform the specified operation for a long time. However, the more steps that are executed by default, the faster the response speed when the user performs the specified operation. Therefore, a person skilled in the art can make a choice as needed.

[0049] For example, the specified operation is an unlocking operation, which can be triggered in response to the user logging into the application, in response to the user accessing a specified module in the application, or through a specified control. Thus, the current story to be unlocked (the story corresponding to the story progress of the character) can be determined according to the character of the first user in the story, and the plot image of the character can be generated according to the story to be unlocked. After the plot image is displayed, the state of the story to be unlocked changes to unlocked.

[0050] In some embodiments, the user can also read the story content (e.g., story text). For example, the user can be shown all of the story or an outline of all of the story to enable the user to understand the overall plot. For another example, the user can be shown the story content corresponding to the generated plot image (e.g., the unlocked plot image), and other story content is not shown. For another example, the user can be shown a part of the story after the story content corresponding to the currently generated plot image, to guide the user to continue unlocking the remaining content on the basis of preserving the overall story suspense.

[0051] The above embodiments generate a plot image based on the information from the user and the story progress of the role, so that the generated plot image can be flexibly set by the user on the premise of the story progress, improving the flexibility and immersion of the user experience story, and thus improving the interactive experience.

[0052] The plot image can be generated periodically, or the user can be provided with an entry to trigger the generation periodically. The embodiments of generating the plot image in a period are described below with reference to FIG. 2.

[0053] FIG. 2 shows a flowchart of an interactive method according to some other embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 2, the interactive method of this embodiment includes steps S202 to S206.

[0054] In step S202, in each period, the story progress of the role in the period is determined according to the role of the first user in the story.

[0055] In each period, the story progress of the current period can be determined according to the role of the first user in the story and the story progress that has been unlocked. For example, the story progress of the current period can be determined by advancing one story node based on the story node of the role in the last period.

[0056] To prolong the content consumption time of the user so that the user can fully understand the story information, the content amount in a period can be set, which indicates how many plot images corresponding to the story content need to be presented. The content amount corresponding to each period can be the same or different. In some embodiments, in each period, the story progress of the role in the period is determined according to the role of the first user in the story and the content amount corresponding to the period. The content amount can reflect the number of story nodes on which the currently generated plot image is based, the length of the story content, or can also be represented by the number of generated plot images. By setting the content amount of each period, the time covered by the interaction between the user and the story can be maintained at a reasonable level.

[0057] The content amount corresponding to each cycle can be adjusted. In order to improve the interactivity of the first user with other users, in some embodiments, the content amount corresponding to the cycle or other cycles after the cycle is adjusted in response to the second user obtaining the plot image and performing a specified operation. For example, the first user can share the plot image with the second user, or, with the authorization of the first user, the second user can access the homepage of the first user to view the plot image. The second user can perform operations associated with the plot image, such as unlocking, liking, collecting, forwarding, etc., to obtain adjustment of the content amount. The adjustment of the content amount can affect the current cycle, a certain number of cycles after the current cycle, or all cycles after the current cycle. Thus, the plot image of the first user can be displayed to more users, improving the propagation efficiency of the personalized plot image of the first user.

[0058] In step S204, a plot image of the cycle of the role is generated according to the information from the first user and the story progress of the role.

[0059] In step S206, the plot image of the cycle is displayed.

[0060] Steps S202, S204 or S206 can be executed by default or in response to a specified operation of the user. If a certain step needs to be executed in response to a specified operation, if the user does not perform the specified operation within a cycle, the step is not executed. That is, the story progress of the cycle is not determined, or the plot image is not generated, or the plot image is not displayed, and the story progress of the cycle is not updated.

[0061] An application scenario of periodically unlocking is exemplarily described below. The first user can log in to the application every day and unlock a first number of plot images every day. If the first user has unlocked the first number of plot images on a certain day, no new plot image is generated on that day. However, after the first user forwards the plot image to the second user and the second user performs the unlocking operation, the first user can unlock an additional second number of plot images on that day.

[0062] The above embodiments can support users to periodically obtain plot images, thereby controlling the total time length involved in the interaction process between the user and the story within a certain range, and improving the interaction effect of the user.

[0063] In some generated plot images, a role image and an environment image can be included. Therefore, the characteristics of the role and the characteristics of the environment can be determined respectively, and the plot image can be generated. Embodiments of the method of generating the plot image are described below with reference to FIG. 3.

[0064] FIG. 3 shows a flowchart of a method for generating a scenario image according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method according to this embodiment includes steps S302-S306.

[0065] In step S302, the character feature is determined using the information from the first user.

[0066] The character feature can be the description information of the character (which can be carried by text, image, etc.), or the image feature of the character (such as color, texture, corner point, etc.). Alternatively, the image feature of the character can be further generated using the description information of the character.

[0067] In step S304, the environment feature is determined using the story progress.

[0068] Similar to the character feature, the environment feature can also be the description information of the environment, or the image feature of the environment.

[0069] In step S306, the scenario image is generated according to the character feature and the environment feature.

[0070] In generating the scenario image, an image generation model can be used. For example, the information from the first user and the story progress are input into the model, and the role of each part of the information is indicated. The model can be instructed to generate the character using the information from the first user, generate the environment using the story progress, and fuse the generated contents to display in the same image.

[0071] Through the above embodiments, various types of contents in the scenario image can be indicated according to various types of information, so as to generate a scenario image that is more matched with the information of the first user and the story.

[0072] Next, an interactive process is exemplarily described with reference to FIGS. 4-7.

[0073] FIG. 4 exemplarily shows a schematic diagram of a story selection interface. As shown in FIG. 4, the story selection interface 4 according to this embodiment includes story selection controls 41 and 42, each of which corresponds to a different story. According to the triggering operation of the user on the story selection control, the story selected by the user can be determined.

[0074] Fig. 5 shows a schematic diagram of an example of a role selection interface. As shown in Fig. 5, the role selection interface 5 of this embodiment includes one or more role selection controls 51, 52, 53, each of which corresponds to a different role. According to a triggering operation of a role selection control by a user, the role selected by the user can be determined. In addition, the interface 5 can also include a story cover 54, a story summary 55, etc. to enable the user to understand the information of the story. The interface 5 can also include a confirmation control 56. In response to a triggering of the confirmation control 56, the role selected by the user is determined.

[0075] Fig. 6 shows a schematic diagram of an example of a display interface of a story selected by a user. As shown in Fig. 6, the display interface 6 includes controls 61 and 62 corresponding to one or more stories selected by the user. Taking the story corresponding to the control 61 as an example, the interface 6 can display a story cover 611, a user-selected role image 612, a current story progress 613, etc. The user-selected role image 612 can be an original role image, or an image regenerated according to information from the user and setting information of the role (e.g. an original setting image, or a description text). The current story progress 613 is exemplarily represented by a current node and all nodes of the story, e.g. in Fig. 6, “3 / 7” indicates that the current progress is at the 3rd story node, and the user-selected role has a total of 7 story nodes in this story.

[0076] In response to a triggering operation of the control 61 or 62 by the user, a page corresponding to the story can be entered. For example, generation and display of a new scenario image can be triggered, or a generated scenario image under this story can be displayed to the user.

[0077] The scenario image can be carried in the form of a card. In some embodiments, a scenario card is displayed, which includes a scenario image and a scenario description generated according to the story progress of the role. According to needs, the scenario card can also include more information, or more controls.

[0078] Fig. 7 shows a schematic diagram of a scenario card according to some embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in Fig. 7, the scenario card 7 includes a scenario image 71 and a scenario description 72. The scenario image 71 is generated according to information from the user and the story progress. The scenario description can be the original text in the story, or can be generated according to information from the user and a story summary provided by the story, to produce a scenario card with more personalized and richer content.

[0079] In some embodiments, after displaying the plot image, the plot image is regenerated in response to the first user triggering a specified control. For example, a refresh control 73 can be displayed on the plot card or on the interface where the plot card is located, to trigger the regeneration of the plot image. Since each generation result of the generative model has a certain randomness, for the same input, the generation result can be different. Therefore, by regenerating the plot image, the user can obtain a satisfactory generation result, and the interactive experience is improved.

[0080] During the interaction of the user in a certain story, in addition to generating plot images, more interactive means can also be provided to further improve the diversity of the generated plot images.

[0081] In some embodiments, the user can switch roles. For example, the role of the first user in the story is a first role, and the story also includes a second role. In response to the first user switching from the first role to the second role, the story progress of the second role is determined according to the story progress of the first role. According to the story progress of the first role, the overall progress of the story can be determined, and then the story progress of the second role is determined according to the overall progress of the story, so that the story progress of the second role matches the overall progress of the story. For example, the story nodes of each role and the dependency or sequence between the story nodes of different roles can be pre-set, so as to determine the story node of the second role corresponding to the story node of the first role.

[0082] In this way, the user can freely switch between different selectable roles, and after switching the role, the plot can continue to be pushed forward according to the original overall story progress, reducing the probability of the user receiving repeated information and improving the diversity of the user's information acquisition.

[0083] In some embodiments, the story includes multiple branches. According to the role of the first user in the story, determining the story progress of the role includes: determining the story progress of the role according to the role of the first user in the story and the branch selected by the first user. For example, when the story advances to a certain node, and in this node, the user's selected role needs to decide whether to go to location A or location B, different choices will affect the subsequent plot, that is, go to different plot branches, at this time the user can make a choice. Therefore, the user can participate in the decision of the story advancement, and the user's interactivity is improved.

[0084] The user can make a selection through the interactive control. For example, in response to there being multiple branches after the current story progress of the role, display selection controls of the multiple branches. The selection controls can be displayed before the generation of the scenario image to affect the scenario image currently being generated; or, the selection controls can also be displayed after the generation of the scenario image to affect the image generated next time. Taking the example of the user triggering the generation of the scenario image through an unlocking operation, the selection controls can be displayed after the user performs the unlocking operation, and the story progress of the role is determined through the operation result of the user on the selection controls, and the scenario image of the current unlocking is generated according to the determined story progress; or, the selection controls can be displayed after the generation of the scenario image of the current unlocking, so as to determine the story progress referred to when generating the scenario image of the next unlocking according to the operation result of the user on the selection controls.

[0085] In some embodiments, other users can modify the story of the first user. In some embodiments, in response to a modification operation of a second user on the story, the story is modified; and the story progress of the role is determined according to the modified story. The second user can obtain the modification permission when a specified condition is met, for example, viewing the scenario card shared by the first user, viewing the home page of the first user, opening the story of the second user, and the like. After the second user modifies the story of the first user, the story progress is determined according to the story modified by the second user. Thus, the interactivity between users is improved, and the diversity of the generated scenario image is also improved.

[0086] When the second user modifies the story, the second user can modify the text of the story in detail, or can only modify the outline of the story. In some embodiments, the modified story is generated according to the prompt word input by the second user and the story. For example, the prompt word input by the second user and the story are input into a generative model, and a modification instruction is input into the generative model. The modification instruction can indicate that the story is modified according to the prompt word. Then, the modified story output by the generative model is obtained. The generative model is, for example, a large language model (LLM) or a foundation model. Through the strong natural language understanding capability of the generative model, the complexity of the modification operation of the second user can be simplified.

[0087] After generating one or more story images, the user can view the images one by one. In some embodiments, multimedia content can also be generated according to one or more story images. For example, multimedia content can be generated according to the story images of the first user corresponding to a certain story, so that the story images of a certain story can be collected to form a complete story conveyed by images. Of course, the multimedia content can also be accompanied by text, such as story content or a description of the story card. The multimedia content can be generated after the entire story is unlocked, or can be generated in response to a user request.

[0088] The multimedia content can be a video or an e-book, or can also be other forms of files. In the process of generating a video, the user can manually or automatically add background music, story dialogue, sound effects, etc. The e-book can be presented in the form of a comic book, for example, each page including one or more story images to improve the user's reading experience.

[0089] By generating multimedia content, the user can more efficiently browse the generated story images, improving the user's interactive experience.

[0090] The above describes exemplary methods of various embodiments of the present disclosure. The following further describes devices and apparatuses for performing the methods of the above embodiments.
