The first virtual character may be controlled to enter the second virtual room in response to the first switching operation, and the corresponding purchase interface is displayed when the target item placed in the second virtual room is selected. After the first account purchases the target item through the purchase operation, the first virtual character may be controlled to return to the first virtual room and the target item is placed in the first virtual room. By setting different virtual rooms and placing virtual items in the virtual rooms, a preview of the target item can be provided for the first account, thereby reducing time for the first account to select the target item and improving human-machine interaction efficiency. Moreover, a placement may be easily determined based on the pr, thereby effectively guiding a purchase strategy, reducing a large quantity of invalid interactions caused by purchase choices in related technologies, and improving system resource response efficiency.
Based on
Step 4021: Display a virtual room entry to at least one recommended virtual room. The second virtual room is one of the at least one recommended virtual room.
In some embodiments, the at least one recommended virtual room includes at least one of the following three types of virtual rooms:
For example, the public account is an account that provides information push services to at least one account. For example, the at least one recommended virtual room is a sample virtual room provided by the back-end system or public account, where the back-end system or public account determines the recommended virtual room according to choice preferences of the first account.
For example, the second account and the first account have a friend relationship in an instant messaging system or virtual world. For example, at least one recommended virtual room is a virtual room customized by the second account. The first account and the second account are friends in the instant messaging system. The second account arranges a wall lamp, a wooden bed, a ceiling crystal lamp, a carpet, and the like in the virtual room according to its preferences. The virtual room may be used as one of the at least one recommended virtual room.
For example, the third account and the first account do not have a friend relationship in the instant messaging system or virtual world. For example, if at least one recommended virtual room is a virtual room customized by the third account, the first account and the third account do not have a friend relationship in the virtual world. The third account arranges the virtual room according to its preferences, and the virtual room may be used as one of the at least one recommended virtual room.
In some embodiments, virtual rooms may alternatively be divided from the following dimensions:
1. According to a dimension about whether a homeowner account is on-line, virtual rooms may be divided into homeowner account on-line virtual rooms and homeowner account off-line virtual rooms.
In a case that a homeowner account owns a plurality of virtual rooms, a room combination including at least two virtual rooms among the plurality of virtual rooms may alternatively be divided into a virtual room where a virtual character controlled by the homeowner account is present, and a virtual room where the virtual character is not present.
For example, the homeowner account owns 5 bedrooms and 2 living rooms, of which 2 bedrooms and 1 living room constitute a combination. For example, the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account is present in a living room, the 2 bedrooms may be divided into virtual rooms where the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account are not present, and the living room may be divided into a virtual room where the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account is present.
2. According to a dimension about whether virtual characters controlled by a friend account are present in virtual rooms, the virtual rooms may be divided into friend present rooms and friend absent rooms.
According to a quantity of virtual characters controlled by the friend account, a most friend room may be further determined from the friend present rooms.
For example, virtual room 1 displays virtual character 1, virtual character 2, and virtual character 3, virtual character 1 and virtual character 2 have a friend relationship with the first account, and virtual room 1 may be divided into a friend present room. For another example, virtual room 1 displays virtual character 1, virtual character 2, and virtual character 3, virtual room 2 displays virtual character 4 and virtual character 5, and virtual room 3 displays virtual character 6; virtual character 1, virtual character 2, and virtual character 5 have a friend relationship with the first account, and other virtual characters have no friend relationship with the first account; and virtual room 1 and virtual room 2 may be divided into friend present rooms, virtual room 3 is divided into a friend absent room, and virtual room 1 is a most friend room.
3. According to a dimension about whether virtual characters controlled by a visitor account are present in virtual rooms, the virtual rooms may be divided into somebody present rooms and nobody present rooms.
According to a quantity of virtual characters controlled by the visitor account, a most person room may be further determined from somebody present rooms.
In some embodiments, the visitor account may be an account that has a friend relationship with the first account, or a stranger account that has no friend relationship with the first account.
When the visitor account is an account that has a friend relationship with the first account, the division of virtual rooms may refer to the division dimension of the second account.
When the visitor account is a stranger account, the virtual rooms may be specifically divided into stranger present rooms and stranger absent rooms. Assuming that virtual room 1 displays virtual character 1 and virtual character 2, virtual room 2 displays virtual character 3, and virtual character 1, virtual character 2, and virtual character 3 are all virtual characters controlled by the stranger account, virtual room 1 and virtual room 2 may be divided into stranger present rooms, and virtual room 1 is a most stronger room.
It is to be understood that divisions of virtual rooms according to relevant dimensions of accounts fall within the scope of protection of this application. The foregoing content is only an example and does not impose specific limitations on this application.

Based on
Step 6081: Filter, in a candidate room pool, at least one recommended virtual room matching rooms owned by the first account.
In some embodiments, the candidate room pool includes at least one of the following three types of room pools:
The out-of-home room pool includes candidate virtual rooms where the homeowner account is off-line, the at-home room pool includes candidate virtual rooms where the homeowner account is on-line and is not in a recommended cooling-off period, and the random room pool includes candidate virtual rooms where the homeowner account is on-line and is in the recommended cooling-off period.
For example, the recommended cooling-off period refers to a time period during which virtual rooms satisfy a recommendation condition. The recommendation condition may be set according to specific requirements, for example, the recommendation condition is determined according to historical data or preference information of the first account.
For example, at a first time point, the homeowner account is on-line in a first room, and if the first room is not in the recommended cooling-off period, the first room is one in the at-home room pool; or if the first room is in the recommended cooling-off period, the first room is one in the random room pool. At a second time point, the homeowner account is off-line in a second room, the second room is one in the out-of-home room pool.
For example, the candidate virtual room included in the room pool may be an individual virtual room or a room combination of at least two virtual rooms. For example, the at-home room pool includes virtual rooms where the second account is on-line, and room combinations where the third account is on-line.
In some embodiments, random filtering algorithms corresponding to the three types of room pools have different random extraction probabilities.
The random extraction probabilities may be determined according to specific requirements. The random extraction probabilities are in ascending order as follows: the at-home room pool, the random room pool, and the out-of-home room pool. Alternatively, the random extraction probabilities are in ascending order as follows: the random room pool, the at-home room pool, and the out-of-home room pool.
In some embodiments, step 6081 may be implemented as follows:
The room area owned by the first account is used for indicating one of the following areas: a total area of all rooms owned by the first account, and an individual area of a virtual room where the first account is on-line.
For example, the first account has a room combination that includes 3 bedrooms and 1 living room, and the first account is on-line in the living room. The room area owned by the first account may be the total area of 3 bedrooms and 1 living room, or the individual area of the living room where the first account is currently present.
Step 6082: Send room entry data about at least one recommended virtual room to the client.
For example, the room entry data is used for the client to display a virtual room entry to the at least one recommended virtual room, and the second virtual room is one of the at least one recommended virtual room.
In some embodiments, the at least one recommended virtual room includes at least one of the following three types of virtual rooms: a sample virtual room provided by a back-end system or public account, where the public account provides information push services for at least one account; a virtual room customized by a second account, where the second account and the first account have a friend relationship in an instant messaging system or virtual world; and a virtual room customized by a third account, where the third account and the first account do not have a friend relationship in the instant messaging system or virtual world.
Related descriptions of the sample virtual room, the virtual room customized by the second account, and the virtual room customized by the third account may refer to the previous content and will not be repeated.
Step 701: Log into a user account.
The user account refers to one or more of all accounts, including a first account.
After logging into at least one user account, type division of candidate room pools is performed on virtual rooms or room combinations owned by the user account. According to the previous content, the candidate room pools include three types: an out-of-home room pool, an at-home room pool, and a random room pool. Specific division steps are as follows.
Step 702: Determine whether a quantity of virtual items in a current virtual room or room combination exceeds a preset value.
Step 703 is performed in a case that the quantity of virtual items exceeds the preset value.
Step 703: Determine whether a virtual character controlled by a homeowner account is in the owned virtual room or room combination.
The virtual room or room combination owned by the homeowner account is the virtual room or room combination where the user account is currently present. For example, the user account is account 1, account 1 is in virtual room 1, and the homeowner account of the virtual room is account 2. Then, whether the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account in virtual room 1 is in virtual room 1 is determined.
Step 704 is performed when the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account is not in the owned virtual room or room combination, and step 705 is performed when the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account is in the owned virtual room or room combination.
Step 704: Divide the virtual room or room combination into an out-of-home room pool.
For example, when the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account is not in the owned virtual room or room combination, the user account logs in and enters the virtual room, and the virtual room or room combination where the user account is currently present (namely, the virtual room or room combination owned by the homeowner account) is divided into one in the out-of-home room pool.
Step 705: Determine whether the current virtual room or room combination has entered a recommended cooling-off period.
Step 706 is performed when the current virtual room or room combination has not entered the recommended cooling-off period, and step 707 is performed when the current virtual room or room combination has entered the recommended cooling-off period.
The description of the recommended cooling-off period may refer to the previous content and will not be repeated.
For example, when the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account is in the owned virtual room or room combination, the user account logs in and enters the virtual room. If the virtual room has not entered the recommended cooling-off period, the virtual room or room combination owned by the homeowner account (namely, the virtual room or room combination where the user account is currently present) is divided into one in the at-home room pool.
Step 706: Divide the virtual room or room combination owned by the user account into an at-home room pool.
In some embodiments, in a case that the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account leaves the virtual room or room combination, or in a case that the homeowner account is off-line, the virtual room or room combination owned by the homeowner account (namely, the virtual room or room combination where the user account is currently present) is removed from the at-home room pool and added to the out-of-home room pool.
Step 707: Determine whether the current virtual room or room combination immediately becomes a recommended virtual room.
Step 708 is performed when the current virtual room or room combination immediately becomes a recommended virtual room, and step 706 is performed when the current virtual room or room combination does not immediately become a recommended virtual room.
Step 708: Divide the virtual room or room combination into a random room pool.
In some embodiments, in a case that the random room pool is full, if a new virtual room or room combination is randomly selected as a recommended virtual room, the user account is forced to exit from the current virtual room or room combination and reenters a new virtual room or room combination, and step 703 is performed back to re-determine whether the virtual character controlled by the homeowner account is in the owned virtual room or room combination.
The division of candidate room pools based on room combinations is used as an example.
During filtering in the three types of candidate room pools, the following steps are included:
Step 801: Determine a reasonable quantity of matching items according to room combinations owned by a first account;
Step 802: Determine candidate room combinations corresponding to the reasonable quantity of items;
Step 803: Randomly enter a room combination.
The reasonable quantity of matching items can be determined according to the total area of all virtual rooms owned by the first account, and the quantity is a sum of individual reasonable quantities of items in all virtual rooms. Subsequently, determine the corresponding candidate room combinations according to the reasonable quantity of items, and randomly enter a room combination.
For room combinations in an out-of-home room pool and an at-home room pool, the following steps are further included:
Step 804: Determine virtual rooms satisfying conditions according to a quantity of virtual items in a virtual room where the first account is present;
Step 805: Randomly enter a virtual room.
After a first quantity of virtual items in the virtual room where the first account is present and a second quantity of virtual items in each virtual room in a room combination are obtained, the second quantity is determined to determine the virtual rooms satisfying conditions. For example, in a case that the second quantity is not less than the first quantity, the virtual rooms corresponding to the second quantity are determined as the virtual rooms satisfying conditions. Subsequently, randomly enter a virtual room.
For room combinations in a non-random room pool, the following steps are further included:
Step 806: Determine whether an account owning room combinations is on-line.
Step 807 is performed in a case that the account owning room combinations is off-line; or step 808 is performed in a case that the account owning room combinations is on-line.
Step 807: Enter a most person virtual room.
The most person virtual room refers to one type of the following virtual rooms: a room with the largest number of historical visitors; and a room with the largest number of real-time historical visitors.
Step 808: Enter a virtual room where the account owning room combinations is present.
After randomly entering a room combination, the on-line status of the account owning room combinations is determined: and when the account is on-line, the virtual room where the account is present is preferred to enter; or when the account is off-line, the most person virtual room is selected to enter.
To sum up, in the method for decorating a virtual room according to an embodiment of this application, at least one recommended virtual room matching the rooms owned by the first account is filtered in the candidate room pool, so that the first account can quickly enter the corresponding virtual room.
