[0002] This application relates to the field of human-computer interaction technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for acquiring virtual props. Background Technology

[0003] Game applications provide virtual environments where virtual characters typically need to be controlled to perform activities such as walking, driving, climbing, picking up items, and fighting.

[0004] In related technologies, virtual characters need to pick up virtual items in a virtual environment to achieve virtual competition, and the virtual character that gets close to the virtual item first can obtain the right to pick up the virtual item.

[0005] However, the aforementioned methods of obtaining virtual items can easily lead to multiple virtual characters scrambling for them, and the methods of obtaining virtual items are relatively limited. Summary of the Invention

On one hand, a first willingness level is set for a first virtual item through a willingness allocation operation, quantifying the intensity of a first virtual character's desire to acquire the first virtual item. The allocation result of the first virtual item is related to the willingness levels set by the first and second virtual characters, ensuring that the allocation result matches the player's set willingness level and actual needs as closely as possible, improving the allocation efficiency of the first virtual item and further enhancing player acceptance of the allocation result. On the other hand, a function entry point for setting willingness levels is also provided, allowing players to set their willingness levels according to their actual needs for virtual items. Overall, this provides a new method for acquiring virtual items, avoiding the scramble for virtual items caused by the inability of virtual characters to pick them up first in related technologies.

[0045] The methods provided in this application can be applied to at least one of the following scenarios, but are not limited to: virtual reality applications, 3D map programs, casual games, party games, first-person shooter (FPS) games, third-person shooter (TPS) games, multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) games, multiplayer shooting survival games, etc. The following embodiments are examples of applications in games.

[0046] Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of a method for obtaining virtual items provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application.

[0047] The first interface 310 displays a virtual environment 302 corresponding to the virtual game, which includes virtual terrain such as virtual hills, virtual buildings, and virtual grasslands. The first virtual character 304 performs virtual activities within the virtual environment 302 to achieve virtual competition.

[0048] The first interface 310 includes a prompt window 315, which is a pop-up window used to indicate that the allocation of the first virtual item 312 and the second virtual item 314 is about to begin. For example, the prompt window 315 also displays the following prompt text: "Dynamically adjust your willingness level to gain a higher ownership of your desired items"; highlighting the correlation between the willingness level and the acquisition of virtual items. For example, the prompt window 315 includes a total willingness level 316; for example, the total willingness level 316 is 10, which is five times the number of virtual items, i.e., 2 * 5 = 10.

[0049] As the countdown "3 seconds (s)" on the prompt window 315 in the first interface 310 expires, the second interface 320 is displayed;

[0050] Taking the allocation process of the first virtual prop 312 as an example; the willingness setting control 322 of the first virtual prop 312 includes ten virtual buttons; the ten virtual buttons correspond one-to-one with the willingness values ​​from 1 to 10. In response to the click operation of the virtual button corresponding to the willingness value of 4, the virtual button is displayed as selected (for example, a triangle mark is displayed below the virtual button to indicate that the virtual button is selected).

[0051] Displays the willingness information 324 of other characters in the virtual game other than the first virtual character 304 to set the first virtual item 312. For example, the virtual character with identity number 2 has a willingness of 3 to set the first virtual item 312, the virtual character with identity number 3 has a willingness of 5 to set the first virtual item 312, and the virtual character with identity number 4 has a willingness of 2 to set the first virtual item 312.

[0052] The second interface 320 also displays a timer 326 "End Willingness Setting in 10s", which provides a time limit for allocating total willingness; the second interface 320 also displays a willingness difference 328 "Remaining Willingness: 5", which is the difference between the total willingness "10" and the activated willingness "5"; the activated willingness "5" is the sum of the willingness "4" set by the first virtual character 304 for the first virtual prop 312 and the willingness "1" set by the second virtual prop 314.

[0053] When the timer 326 in the second interface 320 expires, the third interface 330 is displayed. The third interface 330 includes a pickup interface 335; the pickup interface 335 includes a first virtual item 312, indicating that the first virtual item 312 is assigned to the first virtual character 304.

[0054] The following examples will illustrate how to obtain virtual items.

[0055] Figure 3 illustrates a flowchart of a method for obtaining virtual items according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by a terminal, which is used by a user to control a first virtual character located in a virtual environment. The method includes:

[0056] Step 510: Display the virtual environment corresponding to the virtual game;

[0057] For example, a virtual environment is a virtual space in which a first virtual character performs virtual activities; for instance, the first virtual character launches a virtual attack in a virtual game to perform virtual competition. A virtual environment can be any of a two-dimensional, 2.5-dimensional, or three-dimensional virtual environment.

[0058] For example, the first virtual character engages in virtual competition by launching virtual attacks against an enemy virtual character in a virtual environment, or by achieving virtual objectives (or virtual achievements) in a virtual match within a virtual environment.

[0059] Step 520: In response to the intention allocation operation for the first virtual item, set the first intention level for the first virtual item;

[0060] For example, the intention allocation operation is a human-computer interaction operation that indicates the strength of the intention to obtain the first virtual item. For example, as the set first intention level increases, the user's intention to obtain the first virtual item increases. In some embodiments, the intensity of intention can be represented by a numerical value, with a larger value indicating a higher intensity of intention.

[0061] For example, the intention allocation operation includes, but is not limited to, at least one of the following: clicking, swiping, rotating; such as: clicking a touchscreen or button, swiping a touchscreen or controller, rotating a terminal or controller. In one implementation, the application providing the virtual environment provides at least two candidate intention levels, and the intention allocation operation is a selection operation of the first intention level among the at least two candidate intention levels.

[0062] Step 530: Display the first degree of willingness of the first virtual character controlled by the display terminal to set the first virtual item, and display the second degree of willingness of the second virtual character to set the first virtual item;

[0063] For example, the first virtual character is a terminal-controlled virtual character, also known as the master virtual character. Virtual characters participating in the virtual match include the first virtual character and the second virtual character; the second virtual character has the authority to participate in the distribution of the first virtual items. For example, there can be one or more second virtual characters. The second virtual character and the first virtual character usually belong to the same virtual faction, but it is not impossible for the second virtual character and the first virtual character to belong to different virtual factions. That is, the second virtual character can be a teammate virtual character or an enemy virtual character, controlled by other terminals.

[0064] The first willingness level is the willingness level of the first virtual character to set the first virtual item. The second willingness level is the willingness level of the second virtual character to set the first virtual item. For example, step 530 is typically executed by a terminal, such as the terminal controlling the first virtual character. In this case, the terminal controlling the first virtual character displays both the first willingness level and the second willingness level. However, it is not excluded that the first willingness level is displayed by the terminal controlling the first virtual character, while the second willingness level is displayed by another terminal controlling the second virtual character; that is, the terminal controlling the first virtual character displays only the first willingness level, and the other terminal controlling the second virtual character displays only the second willingness level. This application does not impose any limitations on this.

[0065] Step 540: Display the allocation result of the first virtual item;

[0066] For example, the allocation result of the first virtual item is to allocate the first virtual item to a role with the permission to participate in the allocation of the first virtual item, such as allocating it to a first virtual character or a second virtual character.

[0067] For example, the allocation result of the first virtual item is related to the first willingness level and the second willingness level. For example, with the second willingness level remaining unchanged, when the first virtual item is repeatedly allocated, the number of times the first virtual character obtains the first virtual item increases as the first willingness level increases. It is understood that those skilled in the art can prove, by statistically analyzing the allocation process of the first virtual item a limited number of times (e.g., 50 times), that with the second willingness level remaining unchanged and the first willingness level increasing, the number of times the first virtual character obtains the first virtual item increases, that is, the probability of the first virtual character obtaining the first virtual item increases.

[0068] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment sets a first willingness level for the first virtual item through a willingness allocation operation, which quantifies the intensity of the first virtual character's willingness to acquire the first virtual item. The allocation result of the first virtual item is related to the willingness level set by the first virtual character and the second virtual character. It provides a function entry point for setting the willingness level, which makes it convenient for players to set the demand level according to their actual needs for virtual items. It provides a new way to acquire virtual items and avoids the situation in related technologies where virtual character skills pick up virtual items by being the first to approach them, causing a scramble for virtual items.

[0069] Figure 4 shows a flowchart of a method for obtaining virtual items according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by a terminal. Specifically, in the embodiment shown in Figure 3, step 520 can be implemented as steps 522 and 524:

[0070] Step 522: Display the willingness setting control for the first virtual prop;

[0071] For example, the willingness setting control provides a function entry point for setting at least two candidate willingness levels; for example, the function entry point for at least two candidate willingness levels can be implemented as a control part of the willingness setting control that can realize human-computer interaction operation; such as at least one of virtual buttons or virtual gears.

[0072] Step 524: In response to the triggering operation of the function entry for the first willingness setting control, set the first willingness for the first virtual prop;

[0073] For example, the willingness setting control is displayed on the terminal screen; for example, at least two candidate willingness levels include a first willingness level. The triggering operation can be implemented as at least one of the following: touch operation on the terminal screen, use of an input device such as a keyboard or mouse, etc., and this application does not limit it.

[0074] In one optional implementation of this application, the first virtual prop includes at least two virtual buttons; correspondingly, step 522 can be implemented as: displaying at least two virtual buttons in the first virtual prop;

[0075] For example, at least two virtual buttons correspond one-to-one with at least two candidate intention levels; the application providing the virtual environment provides at least two candidate intention levels for the allocation process of the first virtual prop.

[0076] Accordingly, step 524 can be implemented as follows: in response to the click operation of the first virtual button, set the first intention degree for the first virtual prop;

[0077] For example, the first virtual button corresponds to the first preference level among at least two candidate preference levels. In response to a click operation on the first virtual button, the first virtual button is displayed as selected. In some embodiments, the first virtual button being displayed as selected may be indicated by at least one of the following: highlighting the first virtual button; adding color to the first virtual button; bolding the numerical value in the first virtual button; bolding the edge / border of the first virtual button; displaying at least one of a triangle mark, a circle mark, and an underline mark below the first virtual button.

[0078] Figure 5 shows a schematic diagram of a willingness setting control provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application.

[0079] For example, the willingness setting control includes 10 virtual buttons, each displaying a corresponding candidate willingness value, which is 1 to 10; in response to a click operation 605 on the fourth virtual button 604, the fourth virtual button 604 is displayed in a selected state 604a with thickened edges and a triangle mark below, indicating that the first willingness setting for the first virtual prop is a willingness value of 4.

[0080] In another optional implementation of this application, the first virtual prop includes a virtual lever and at least two virtual gears; correspondingly, step 522 can be implemented as: displaying the virtual lever and at least two virtual gears in the first virtual prop;

[0081] For example, at least two virtual gear positions correspond one-to-one with at least two candidate intention levels; the application providing the virtual environment provides at least two candidate intention levels for the allocation process of the first virtual prop. The position of the virtual lever on the virtual gear position is used to indicate the selected candidate intention level.

[0082] Accordingly, step 524 can be implemented as follows: in response to the dragging operation of the virtual lever, when the virtual lever is moved to the first virtual position, set the first intention degree for the first virtual prop;

[0083] For example, the first virtual gear position corresponds to the first willingness level among at least two candidate willingness levels. In response to a drag operation on the virtual lever, if the virtual lever is moved to the virtual gear position corresponding to the first willingness level, the first willingness level is set for the first virtual prop.

[0084] Figure 6 shows a schematic diagram of a willingness setting control provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application.

[0085] For example, the willingness setting control includes a virtual lever 610a and 10 virtual gears. Each virtual gear displays a corresponding candidate willingness value, ranging from 1 to 10. The initial default position of the virtual lever 610a is at the first virtual gear 611, where the candidate willingness value is 1. In response to a drag operation 615 on the virtual lever 610a, the virtual lever 610a is moved from the first virtual gear 611 to the fourth virtual gear 614, indicating that the first willingness value set for the first virtual item is 4.

[0086] In another optional implementation of this application, the willingness setting control includes a question associated with the first virtual prop and at least two answer options; correspondingly, step 522 can be implemented as: displaying a question associated with the first virtual prop and at least two answer options;

[0087] For example, at least two answer options correspond one-to-one with at least two candidate willingness levels; the application providing the virtual environment provides at least two candidate willingness levels for the allocation process of the first virtual prop. The selected candidate willingness level is indicated by choosing an answer option.

[0088] Accordingly, step 524 can be implemented as follows: in response to the selection operation of the first answer option, set the first willingness level for the first virtual prop;

[0089] For example, the first answer option corresponds to the first preference among at least two candidate preference levels;

[0090] For the question about the first virtual prop, the first answer option in the willingness setting control is the correct answer to the question, and the second answer option is the incorrect answer to the question; the willingness level corresponding to the first answer option is greater than the willingness level corresponding to the second answer option.

[0091] For example, if the user selects the correct answer in the answer selection operation, the user is familiar with the use of the first virtual item or has related knowledge, and has a strong desire to become familiar with and use the first virtual item; this is set as the first desire level. However, if the user selects the wrong answer in the selection operation, the user is not familiar with the use of the first virtual item or has related knowledge, and the desire to acquire the unfamiliar first virtual item is lower than the first desire level.

[0092] In one example, Figure 7 shows a schematic diagram of a willingness setting control provided in an exemplary embodiment of this application. Question 620a is used to ask about the usage skills of the first virtual item; for example, question 620a is: Under what circumstances is the first virtual item most effective? There are four corresponding answer options, including: use against a single enemy virtual character, use against multiple enemy virtual characters, use against a single friendly virtual character, use against multiple friendly virtual characters, etc.

[0093] In one example, the first answer option 621 is the correct answer to question 620a, with a corresponding willingness value of 7. The other three answer options besides the first answer option 621 are incorrect answers to question 620a, with a corresponding willingness value of 4. In response to the selection operation 625 of the fourth answer option 624, the willingness value of the first virtual prop is set to 4.

[0094] In other examples, the questions associated with the first virtual item include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following:

[0095] The question is used to ask about the type of the first virtual item; for example, the question is: What is the type of the first virtual item? The answer options include throwing virtual items, shooting virtual items, wearable virtual items, vehicle virtual items, etc.

[0096] When the first virtual item is a shooting virtual item, the question is used to ask about the type of ammunition used by the shooting ammunition corresponding to the first virtual item; for example, the question is: What type of virtual ammunition does the first virtual item use? The answer options include 5.56 mm caliber, 7.62 mm caliber, 12-inch caliber, etc.

[0097] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the text content of the questions and answer options for the first virtual prop is pre-set or generated based on a natural language model. The text content of the questions and answer options may be obtained from the introductory text or user guide of the first virtual prop in the application providing the virtual environment, or from screen recordings, forum information, etc., of using the first virtual prop recorded in other applications.

[0098] For example, the introductory information and guiding text of the first virtual prop are input into a natural language model to predict the question and answer options. For example, the introductory information includes at least one of the following: the introductory text of the first virtual prop as described above, a user tutorial, a screen recording of using the first virtual prop, or information from a forum. The guiding text is a pre-set language template, such as: "Based on the following description, generate a question related to [mask1], and provide one correct answer and at least two incorrect answers. The prop is described as follows: [mask2]." Here, [mask1] is the location to fill in the prop name of the first virtual prop, and [mask2] is the location to fill in the introductory information of the first virtual prop.

[0099] Furthermore, the guidance text also provides sample text for the expected generated questions and answer options. The sample text uses a sample prop as an example to demonstrate the style of the expected generated questions and answer options. Optionally, the sample text also includes introductory information about the sample prop, providing the natural language model with a set of sample inputs and outputs. Leveraging the natural language model's semantic understanding capabilities, the model is guided to simulate the sample inputs and outputs, generating questions and answer options for the first virtual prop.

[0100] In one example, the sample text includes: "This is an example for reference when generating question and answer options; the expected question is: Under what circumstances is the sample item most effective? The expected answer options are: Use against a single enemy virtual character, Use against multiple enemy virtual characters, Use against a single friendly virtual character, Use against multiple friendly virtual characters; including one correct answer: Use against a single enemy virtual character; the other three answer options are incorrect answers." The example text, including examples of sample input and output, provides the natural language model with the expected format of generated information.

[0101] The example text also includes: "The description of the sample item is: The sample item is a virtual attack item that can hook an enemy character and drag them a certain distance to the main character's location; it is worth noting that there is a limit to the number of sample items that can be carried. The main character can pick up a maximum of two sample items. By default, the sample item hooks the enemy character closest to the main character in the direction of the item's use. When facing multiple enemy characters, you need to pay attention to their positions to avoid hooking enemy characters you don't want to drag." The description of the sample item in the example text, along with the expected question and answer options in the example text above, are all natural language information that can provide a basis for the natural language model. The example input and output are illustrated.

[0102] For example, a natural language model is an artificial neural network (ANN) with natural language processing capabilities, such as at least one of a large language model (LLM) or a generative pre-trained transformer (GPT).

[0103] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment sets a first willingness level by triggering the willingness setting control, which quantifies the intensity of the first virtual character's willingness to acquire the first virtual item. The allocation result of the first virtual item is related to the willingness levels set by the first and second virtual characters. It provides a functional entry point for setting the willingness level, which makes it convenient for players to set the demand level according to their actual needs for virtual items. It provides a new human-computer interaction method to acquire virtual items by performing human-computer interaction with the willingness setting control, and avoids the scramble for virtual items caused by virtual characters' skills picking up virtual items by being the first to approach them in related technologies.

[0104] Figure 8 shows a flowchart of a method for obtaining virtual items according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by a terminal. Specifically, based on the embodiment shown in Figure 3, step 515 can be implemented as step 550:

[0105] Step 515: Display the total willingness level of the first virtual character;

[0106] For example, the total willingness level is used to indicate the sum of the willingness levels of the first virtual character to have the authority to allocate virtual items; the first virtual character has the authority to participate in the allocation of multiple virtual items (such as the first virtual item and the second virtual item).

[0107] For example, the total willingness score is used to constrain the total number of willingness scores allocated to virtual items. For example, the total willingness score can be determined based on the number of virtual items for which the first virtual character has the right to participate in the allocation; for example, the total willingness score is an integer multiple of the number of virtual items; for example, if the first virtual character has the right to participate in the allocation of three virtual items, the total willingness score is 3*5=15; the total willingness score is five times the number of virtual items.

[0108] In one optional implementation of this application, the total willingness level is determined based on the virtual activity information of the first virtual character in the virtual game. Accordingly, before step 515, the following is also included:

[0109] • Determine the overall willingness level based on the virtual activity information of the first virtual character in the virtual game;

[0110] For example, the virtual activity information includes at least one of virtual attack information, virtual rescue information, and virtual growth value information; the virtual activity information is used to indicate the virtual competitive ability of the first virtual character in the virtual game, and as the virtual competitive ability of the first virtual character increases, the total willingness that the first virtual character can allocate increases; for example, any one of the virtual attack information, virtual rescue information, and virtual growth value information is positively correlated with the total willingness.

[0111] In one example, the first virtual character has the right to participate in the distribution of the first virtual item when a virtual objective is achieved in a virtual match; for example, if the first virtual character (or the virtual faction to which the first virtual character belongs) defeats the virtual enemy leader, the first virtual character has the right to participate in the distribution of the first virtual item. As the first virtual character's virtual competitive ability in the virtual match increases, it provides a higher overall willingness level, laying the foundation for the first virtual character to obtain the desired virtual item; when the first virtual character has high virtual competitive ability, obtaining virtual items can fully leverage the role of virtual items in the virtual match.

[0112] Step 550: In response to the intention allocation operation for the second virtual prop, set a third intention level for the second virtual prop;

[0113] For example, the intention allocation operation is a human-computer interaction operation that indicates the strength of the intention to obtain the second virtual item. For example, as the set third intention level increases, the user's intention to obtain the second virtual item increases. For example, the method of setting the third intention level is consistent with the principle of setting the first intention level, and can be referred to the description in step 520 above and Figures 4 to 7, which will not be repeated here.

[0114] For example, the activation intention obtained by adding the first intention and the third intention is less than or equal to the total intention; the sum of the intentions allocated to each virtual item does not exceed the total intention, and the total intention provides a constraint on the total amount of intentions allocated to virtual items.

[0115] In one alternative implementation of this application, it further includes:

[0116] • Display timer;

[0117] For example, a timer provides a time limit for allocating total willingness; the timer's duration can be preset, such as 10 seconds;

[0118] • When the timer expires and the willingness difference is positive, the willingness difference will be allocated to the first virtual item and the second virtual item.

[0119] When the timer expires, the terminal no longer has the authority to change the willingness level of virtual items based on human-computer interaction. For example, the willingness difference is the difference between the total willingness level and the activated willingness level; when the willingness difference is positive, the first virtual character has unallocated willingness level; by automatically allocating the unallocated willingness difference to the first virtual item and the second virtual item, it avoids the user from having unallocated willingness level due to time constraints, thus preventing the first virtual character from obtaining virtual items.

[0120] In one example, the willingness difference is evenly distributed among the first virtual item and the second virtual item; in another example, the willingness difference is distributed based on the ratio of the first willingness degree and the third willingness degree; for example, after the willingness difference is distributed, the updated ratio of the first willingness degree and the updated third willingness degree is the same as the ratio of the first willingness degree and the third willingness degree.

[0121] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment sets a first willingness level for the first virtual item and a third willingness level for the second virtual item through a willingness allocation operation, quantifying the intensity of the first virtual character's different willingness to acquire different virtual items; the total willingness level is used to constrain the total number of willingness levels allocated to virtual items, providing players with an interactive way to allocate willingness levels among different virtual items; the allocation result of the first virtual item is related to the willingness levels set by the first and second virtual characters, providing a functional entry point for setting willingness levels, making it convenient for players to set demand levels according to their actual needs for virtual items, providing a new way to acquire virtual items, and avoiding the scramble for virtual items caused by virtual character skills picking up virtual items by being the first to approach them in related technologies.

[0122] Figure 9 shows a flowchart of a method for obtaining virtual items according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by a terminal. Specifically, based on the embodiment shown in Figure 8, it further includes steps 535 and 536:

[0123] Step 535: If the sum of the first willingness and the second willingness exceeds the willingness threshold, change the first willingness to the first modified willingness and the second willingness to the second modified willingness.

[0124] For example, the willingness threshold refers to the threshold value, maximum value, or threshold of willingness. When the sum of the first willingness and the second willingness exceeds the willingness threshold, the first virtual character and the second virtual character have a high degree of willingness to acquire the first virtual item; the portion exceeding the willingness threshold is allocated to the second virtual item, thus balancing the allocation of willingness for different virtual items while ensuring that the ratio of willingness for the first virtual character and the second virtual character to acquire the first virtual item remains unchanged.

[0125] For example, the ratio of the first willingness degree to the second willingness degree is the same as the correction ratio of the first modified willingness degree to the second modified willingness degree; the sum of the first modified willingness degree and the second modified willingness degree does not exceed the willingness threshold.

[0126] Step 536: Add the difference in willingness to the willingness for the second virtual item;

[0127] For example, the difference in willingness is the difference between the first willingness and the first modified willingness; in one example, the first willingness of the first virtual character to the first virtual item is 6, and the second willingness of the second virtual character to the first virtual item is 9; the willingness threshold is 10; while ensuring that the correction ratio between the first modified willingness and the second modified willingness remains unchanged, the first modified willingness is 4, and the second modified willingness is 6; accordingly, the difference in willingness is 2; the difference in willingness is supplemented to the willingness of the second virtual item.

[0128] For example, by adjusting the desire for the first virtual item and supplementing the desire for the second virtual item, on the one hand, the probability of obtaining the first virtual item with a high degree of desire remains unchanged; on the other hand, by supplementing the desire for the second virtual item, the probability difference of different virtual characters obtaining the second virtual item is reduced, which is conducive to the balanced distribution of the second virtual item.

[0129] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment sets a first willingness level for the first virtual item and a third willingness level for the second virtual item through a willingness allocation operation, quantifying the intensity of the first virtual character's different willingness to acquire different virtual items; the portion exceeding the willingness threshold is allocated to the second virtual item, balancing the willingness allocation of different virtual items while ensuring that the ratio of the willingness level of the first virtual character and the second virtual character to acquire the first virtual item remains unchanged; the allocation result of the first virtual item is related to the willingness level set by the first virtual character and the second virtual character, providing a functional entry point for setting the willingness level, making it convenient for players to set the demand level according to their actual needs for virtual items, providing a new way to acquire virtual items, and avoiding the scramble for virtual items caused by virtual character skills picking up virtual items by being the first to approach them in related technologies.

[0130] Next, we will introduce the recommendation intention of the first virtual prop.

[0131] Figure 10 shows a flowchart of a method for obtaining virtual items according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by a terminal. Specifically, based on the embodiment shown in Figure 3, it further includes step 513:

[0132] Step 513: Display the recommendation intention of the first virtual prop in a visually prominent manner.

[0133] For example, the recommendation intention level is the degree of intention to recommend a choice to a user among at least two candidate intention levels. For example, visual salience methods include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following: highlighting, flashing, bolding, etc.

[0134] For example, the recommendation intention level can be preset or determined based on the performance of the first virtual character in virtual games or historical virtual games. This application does not limit this. The following describes the method for determining the recommendation intention level:

[0135] In one alternative design of the application, the recommendation intention is determined based on the virtual items carried by the first virtual character in the virtual game. Accordingly, this step can be implemented as follows:

[0136] • Obtain the virtual items carried by the first virtual character in a virtual match;

[0137] For example, virtual items can be picked up by the first virtual character in the virtual environment, or carried to the virtual environment by the first virtual character. For example, virtual items are virtual items existing in the first virtual character's virtual inventory.

[0138] • In the case where the first virtual prop includes a virtual shooting prop, in response to the virtual item including virtual ammunition of the virtual shooting prop, a first recommended intention level exceeding the reference intention level is set, and the first recommended intention level is displayed in a visually restrictive manner;

[0139] In one example, the first virtual item includes a virtual shooting item; when the first virtual character carries virtual ammunition for the virtual shooting item, the first virtual character carries the necessary items to use the first virtual item, that is, has the conditions to use the first virtual item. The initial recommended willingness level set for the virtual shooting item exceeds the reference willingness level, recommending that the user controlling the first virtual character acquire the virtual shooting item with a high willingness level.

[0140] • And / or, if the first virtual item includes a virtual wearable item, in response to the virtual item not including a virtual wearable item, a second recommended intention level exceeding the reference intention level is set, and the second recommended intention level is displayed in a visually restrictive manner;

[0141] In one example, the first virtual item includes a virtual wearable item; if the first virtual character does not carry a virtual wearable item, the first virtual character lacks the virtual wearable item, such as not receiving the virtual defense boost provided by the virtual wearable item. If the second recommended willingness level set for the virtual wearable item exceeds the reference willingness level, it is recommended that the user controlling the first virtual character acquire the virtual wearable item with a high willingness level.

[0142] For example, the reference willingness level can be the second willingness level set by the second virtual character; it is recommended that the first virtual character set a willingness level higher than that of the second virtual character to obtain the first virtual item with a higher probability than other virtual characters; the reference willingness level can also be the ratio of the total willingness level of the first virtual character with allocation authority to the number of virtual items to be allocated; it is recommended that the first virtual character set a willingness level higher than the average willingness level to achieve a higher willingness level for the first virtual item among multiple virtual items.

[0143] In another alternative design for the application, the recommendation intention level is determined based on historical activity information in historical virtual games. Accordingly, this step can be implemented as follows:

[0144] • Obtain historical activity information of the first virtual character in historical virtual matches;

[0145] For example, a historical virtual match is a match in which the first virtual character participated prior to the virtual match; for example, historical activity information includes at least one of the following: virtual damage caused by the first virtual character in the historical virtual match, virtual damage suffered by the first virtual character in the historical virtual match, etc.

[0146] • When historical activity information indicates that the virtual damage caused by using the first virtual item in a historical virtual game exceeds the damage threshold, a third recommended willingness level that exceeds the reference willingness level is set, and the third recommended willingness level is displayed in a visually restrictive manner;

[0147] If the virtual damage caused by the first virtual item in a historical virtual match exceeds the damage threshold, the first virtual character is proficient in using the first virtual item and can use it to enhance their virtual competitive ability. If the third recommended willingness level set for the first virtual item exceeds the reference willingness level, it is recommended that the user controlling the first virtual character acquire the first virtual item with a high willingness level.

[0148] • When the first virtual item has a virtual defense effect against the virtual threat item, a fourth recommended willingness level is set that exceeds the reference willingness level, and the fourth recommended willingness level is displayed in a visually restrictive manner;

[0149] For example, a virtual threat item is an item that, according to historical activity information, causes virtual damage to the first virtual character in a historical virtual match;

[0150] When the first virtual item has a virtual defensive effect against a virtual threat item, it can prevent or mitigate the virtual damage caused by the virtual threat item to the first virtual character again in a virtual match. For example, the virtual threat item is a virtual mine, and the first virtual item is a virtual minesweeper that has a virtual defensive effect against the mine. The minesweeper can reduce the likelihood of the virtual mine causing virtual damage to the first virtual character by predicting the location of the virtual mine. If the fourth recommended willingness level set for the first virtual item exceeds the reference willingness level, it is recommended that the user controlling the first virtual character acquire the first virtual item with a high willingness level.

[0151] For example, the reference willingness level is the second willingness level set by the second virtual character, or the ratio of the total willingness level of the first virtual character with allocation authority to the number of virtual items to be allocated. Please refer to the above text for an explanation of the reference willingness level; it will not be repeated here.

[0152] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment sets a first willingness level for the first virtual item through a willingness allocation operation, which quantifies the intensity of the first virtual character's willingness to acquire the first virtual item; by displaying the recommended willingness level in a visually prominent manner, it provides a recommended value for the willingness level of the first virtual item allocation; the allocation result of the first virtual item is related to the willingness level set by the first virtual character and the second virtual character, and a function entry point for setting the willingness level is provided, which makes it convenient for players to set the demand level according to their actual needs for virtual items, and provides a new way to acquire virtual items, avoiding the scramble for virtual items caused by virtual character skills picking up virtual items by being the first to approach them in related technologies.

[0153] Figure 11 illustrates a flowchart of a method for obtaining virtual items according to an exemplary embodiment of this application. This method can be executed by a terminal. The method includes:

[0154] Step 702: Display the total willingness level and display the timer;

[0155] For example, the total willingness level is used to indicate the sum of the willingness levels of the first virtual character to have the authority to allocate virtual items; the first virtual character has the authority to participate in the allocation of multiple virtual items (such as the first virtual item and the second virtual item).

[0156] For example, the total willingness level is an integer multiple of the number of virtual items; for instance, the total willingness level is five times the number of virtual items.

[0157] For example, a timer provides a time limit for allocating total willingness; the timer duration can be preset, such as 10 seconds.

[0158] Step 704: In response to the intention allocation operation, set a first intention level for the first virtual item and a third intention level for the second virtual item;

[0159] For example, the willingness allocation operation is a human-computer interaction operation that indicates the strength of the user's willingness to acquire virtual items. For example, as the set willingness level increases, the user's desire to acquire virtual items also increases.

[0160] For example, a first willingness level is set for a first virtual prop, and a third willingness level is set for a second virtual prop; the activation willingness level obtained by adding the first willingness level and the third willingness level is less than or equal to the total willingness level; the sum of the willingness levels allocated to each virtual prop does not exceed the total willingness level, and the total willingness level provides a constraint on the total amount of willingness levels allocated to virtual props.

[0161] For example, if a first virtual character completes a virtual objective in a virtual match (such as defeating a virtual enemy leader), the first virtual character has the right to participate in the distribution of a first virtual item and a second virtual item. For example, the default initial willingness level for the first virtual item and the second virtual item is 1.

[0162] Step 706: If the timer expires, display the allocation results of the first virtual character and the second virtual character for the first virtual item and the second virtual item, respectively;

[0163] When the timer expires, the terminal no longer has the authority to change the virtual items based on the user's willingness to interact with them.

[0164] For example, when the timer expires, the allocation results of each virtual character's willingness to use the virtual item are displayed; for example, the second virtual character has the permission to participate in the allocation of the first virtual item. For example, there can be one or more second virtual characters, and the second virtual character and the first virtual character usually belong to the same virtual faction, but it is not excluded that the second virtual character and the first virtual character belong to different virtual factions. For example, the second virtual character sets the willingness to use the first virtual item to the second level.

[0165] Step 708: Determine if there is any remaining total willingness.

[0166] For example, the willingness difference is the difference between the total willingness and the activation willingness; a positive willingness difference means that there is a surplus of total willingness. For example, if there is a surplus of total willingness, step 710 is executed; if there is no surplus of total willingness, step 712 is executed.

[0167] Step 710: Distribute the remaining willingness level equally;

[0168] For example, step 710 is performed when there is a remaining total willingness level.

[0169] For example, when the willingness difference is positive, the first virtual character has unallocated willingness points; by automatically allocating the unallocated willingness difference to the first virtual item and the second virtual item, the user's willingness points are not allocated due to time constraints, thus preventing the first virtual character from obtaining virtual items.

[0170] Step 712: Determine whether the overall willingness of each virtual character to the first virtual item exceeds the willingness threshold;

[0171] For example, the virtual characters with the authority to participate in the allocation process of the first virtual item include a first virtual character and a second virtual character. If the sum of the first willingness level and the second willingness level exceeds the willingness threshold, the first virtual character and the second virtual character have a high degree of willingness to obtain the first virtual item, and step 714 is executed; otherwise, if the sum of the first willingness level and the second willingness level does not exceed the willingness threshold, step 716 is executed.

[0172] Step 714: Allocate the difference in willingness of the first virtual character to the second virtual item;

[0173] For example, when the sum of the first willingness and the second willingness exceeds the willingness threshold, the first virtual character and the second virtual character have a high degree of willingness to obtain the first virtual item; the portion exceeding the willingness threshold is allocated to the second virtual item, so as to balance the allocation of willingness for different virtual items while ensuring that the ratio of willingness of the first virtual character and the second virtual character to obtain the first virtual item remains unchanged.

[0174] For example, the difference in willingness is the difference between the first willingness and the first modified willingness. By modifying the willingness of the first virtual item and supplementing the willingness of the second virtual item, on the one hand, the probability of obtaining the first virtual item with a high degree of willingness remains unchanged, and on the other hand, by supplementing the willingness of the second virtual item, the probability difference of obtaining the second virtual item by different virtual characters is reduced, which is conducive to the balanced distribution of the second virtual item.

[0175] Step 716: Display the allocation results of the first virtual item and the second virtual item;

[0176] For example, the allocation result of the first virtual item and the second virtual item is to allocate the first virtual item to a role with the permission to participate in the allocation of the first virtual item, such as allocating it to the first virtual character or the second virtual character.

[0177] For example, before displaying the allocation results of virtual props, the adjusted willingness level of the virtual props is shown (e.g., due to the existence of remaining willingness level / exceeding the willingness threshold, the willingness level changes according to the description in steps 710 and 714).

[0178] For example, taking the first virtual item as an example, during the allocation process of the first virtual item, dice are rolled independently based on the ratio between the first virtual character's initial willingness to use the first virtual item and the sum of the willingness of all virtual characters to use the first virtual item. The allocation of the first virtual item is determined by the number rolled. The total number rolled by the first virtual character = (initial willingness / sum of willingness) * 100; a random number between 1 and the total number rolled is randomly selected as the first virtual character's roll result. The first virtual item is allocated to the virtual character with the highest roll result.

[0179] For example, the first virtual character's initial willingness level is set to 6, and the second virtual character's second willingness level is set to 4; the first virtual character's total die roll is (6 / 10) * 100 = 60; a random number between 1 and 60 is randomly selected as the first virtual character's roll result. The second virtual character's total die roll is (4 / 10) * 100 = 40; a random number between 1 and 40 is randomly selected as the second virtual character's roll result. The first virtual item is then assigned to the virtual character with the highest roll result.

[0180] In summary, the method provided in this embodiment sets a first willingness level for the first virtual item through a willingness allocation operation, which quantifies the intensity of the first virtual character's willingness to acquire the first virtual item. The allocation result of the first virtual item is related to the willingness level set by the first virtual character and the second virtual character. It provides a function entry point for setting the willingness level, which makes it convenient for players to set the demand level according to their actual needs for virtual items. It provides a new way to acquire virtual items and avoids the situation in related technologies where virtual character skills pick up virtual items by being the first to approach them, causing a scramble for virtual items.

[0181] Those skilled in the art will understand that the above embodiments can be implemented independently, or the above embodiments can be freely combined to create new embodiments to implement the virtual item acquisition method of this application.
