These functional entities may be implemented in software, or in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or in different networks and/or processor devices and/or microcontroller devices.
The present disclosure relates to a method for displaying a virtual interactive object, which may be applied to a terminal device capable of presenting a graphical user interface and running a game program, such as a smart phone, a tablet, a personal computer, etc. In the game program, a corresponding virtual character controlled by each user may itself be used as a virtual interactive object, and the virtual character may trade with other users by setting up a stall, which is similar to a transaction function realized by a stall in a market in reality. Thus, in the following description, “stall” will be used as an example of “virtual interactive object” for illustration. The explanatory terms used, such as “stall setting” and “shopping”, etc., may refer to interactive actions related to “stall” or the virtual interactive object in the game. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present disclosure, in addition to the “stall”, the “virtual interactive object” may also include other interactive object or an entry of the object in a game scene, such as an entry of a virtual transaction place fixedly arranged in a current scene (such as a weapons shop, a pawnshop, etc. in the game, which is different from a transaction stall freely set up by a player), an entry of a virtual scene (such as a temple, a restaurant and other scene in the game), a virtual prop (such as a key item used to complete a task in the game, such as a reel, a bamboo pole, herb, etc.), or other virtual character (such as a virtual character controlled by another player who does not have a stall, a key non-player character (NPC) used to promote a game process, and a non-key NPC distributed in the current scene to simulate realism, etc.), unless otherwise specified, the present disclosure does not specifically limit the virtual interactive object.
Taking a game program as an example, transaction of virtual props may be involved in the game, so the “stall setting” function was emerged. For example, a user may set up his/her own stall for trading in a game scene. At present, the user usually randomly picks any location in the game scene to set up the stall. Such a way may cause the setting and display of the stall to be messy and disorderly, which increases the difficulty for a user to select an required item in the stall; moreover, the user is required to control his/her virtual character to move back and forth across a wide range of scene to check each stall, resulting in increased user's fatigue and poor immersion.
In the related art associated with virtual interactive object browsing, as shown in
A method for displaying a virtual interactive object in one of the embodiments of the present disclosure may run on a terminal device or a server. The terminal device may be a local terminal device. When the method for displaying the virtual interactive object runs on the server, the method may be realized and executed based on a cloud interactive system, where the cloud interactive system includes a server and a client device.
In an embodiment, various cloud applications, such as cloud games, can run under the cloud interactive system. Taking a cloud game as an example, the cloud game refers to a game method based on cloud computing. In an operating mode of the cloud game, the main body for running the game program and the main body for presenting the game screen are separated. The storage and running of the method for displaying the virtual interactive object are completed on the cloud game server. The client device is used for receiving and sending data, and presentation of game screens. For example, the client device may be a display device with data transmission function close to the user side, such as a mobile terminal, TV, computer, palmtop computer, etc.; but the terminal device that performs information processing is the cloud game server in the cloud. When playing a game, the player operates the client device to send an operation command to the cloud game server, the cloud game server runs the game according to the operation command, encodes and compresses the data such as the game screens, and returns it to the client device through the network, and finally the client device conducts decoding and outputs the game screens.
In an embodiment, the terminal device may be a local terminal device. Taking a game as an example, the local terminal device stores a game program and is used to present game screens. The local terminal device is used to interact with the player through the graphical user interface, i.e., the conventional way for downloading and installing a game program on an electronic device and running it. The local terminal device may provide the graphical user interface to the player in various manners, for example, rendering and displaying it on a display screen of the terminal, or providing it to the player through holographic projection. For example, the local terminal device may include a display screen and a processor, the display screen is used to present the graphical user interface, the graphical user interface including a game screen, and the processor is used to run the game, generate the graphical user interface, and control the display of the graphical user interface on the display screen.
In a possible embodiment, the embodiment of the present disclosure provides the method for displaying the virtual interactive object, in which a graphical user interface is provided by a terminal device. The terminal device may be the above local terminal device or the above client device in the cloud interactive system.
The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below.
The embodiment provides a method for displaying a virtual interactive object, a graphical user interface is provided by a terminal device, at least a virtual character in a game scene is displayed on the graphical user interface, and the game scene includes at least one virtual interactive object. As shown in
In the method for displaying the virtual interactive object provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure, on the one hand, the virtual interactive object is regularly displayed in the game scene along the movement path of the virtual character, which solves the problem of stall setup and messy display at least to a certain extent, reduces the difficulty for the user to select the stall of interest, avoids the need for the user to move the virtual character back and forth to find a suitable stall, and reduces the user's fatigue during the game. On the other hand, the virtual interactive object in the game is displayed along the movement path of the virtual character, such that the user may get a real experience of shopping and viewing stalls in the game scene similar to that in real life, and it also solves the problem that when there are a plurality of virtual interactive objects in the same scene, the interaction between the user and the corresponding object is affected since each virtual interactive object occludes each other, which helps to improve the user experience and enhance the user's immersion.
The above steps are described in more detail below in another embodiment.
In step S210, the terminal device switches to a browse mode in response to a browse mode switch trigger command, and determines a movement path of the virtual character in the game scene.
In this embodiment, the user may actively input a browse mode switch trigger command through a switch button such as “Stroll Mode” on the game interface. Upon detecting the browse mode switch trigger command, the terminal device may, for example, switch to the browse mode. In an example as shown in
In an example, the terminal device may determine the movement path by receiving path information input by the user. In a further example, the path information may include, for example, information on a path line drawn by the user or start and end point information input by the user. For example, in order to obtain an immersion experience corresponding to strolling around the stalls in reality, a movement path 301 of the virtual character of the game in the game scene may be determined by the user on the thumbnail map 305 in the browse mode, as shown in
In addition, the user may, for example, input positions at start and end points of the movement path for strolling around the stalls in a start position input box 302 and an end position input box 303 provided in the browse mode, respectively. The positions at the start and end points may be the names of specific places in the game scene, such as the East Gate of the King's City and the Weapon store shown in
In addition, the path information may also include virtual interactive object filtering information. As mentioned above, the virtual interactive object may include, for example, the entry of the virtual transaction place, the entry of the virtual scene, the virtual prop or other virtual character in addition to the stall. As shown in
Through the above examples, the movement path of the virtual character may be flexibly determined in various ways, so as to better meet the needs of different users for generating different movement paths, improve the user experience in the process of strolling around the stalls, and help to enhance the game immersion.
In another example, after switching to the browse mode, the terminal device may hide a virtual interactive element that is displayed on the graphical user interface, in order to make the browse mode have a concise and clear interface effect. The virtual interactive element may include, for example, interactive controls, prompt text, information graphics, etc., on the UI layer. For example, after switching to the browse mode, the terminal device may stop rendering the interactive controls on the game interface such as skill bars, prop bars, and the like, and/or stop rendering the information graphics on the game interface such as “character status”, “experience progress” and the like, and/or stop rendering a prompt text on the game interface such as chat information, quest prompts, and the like, so as to achieve the effect of hiding the above-mentioned virtual interactive elements.
Through the above examples, when switching to the browse mode, the graphical appearance of most of the virtual interactive elements on the game interface may be hidden, avoiding the graphical appearance of the virtual interactive elements from obscuring the virtual interactive object and the thumbnail map, so as to present the user with a concise and clear game interface, which helps to improve the user's immersion in the process of strolling around the stalls.
In step S220, the virtual interactive object is arranged according to the movement path, and a display region of the arranged virtual interactive object in the game scene is determined.
In the embodiment, the terminal device may acquire each virtual interactive object in the game scene, and scale down the graphical appearance of each virtual interactive object to a corresponding exemplary graphic proportionally. For example, a virtual transaction entry (such as the virtual character or the weapons shop and the like), a virtual scene (such as a restaurant, a theater, and the like), and other virtual prop (such as NPC and the like) may be scaled down proportionally to, for example, an exemplary graphic of 30×30 pixels based on an original graphic appearance. In addition, the exemplary graphic corresponding to each virtual interactive object may be arranged according to a determined movement path. For example, each exemplary graphic may be arranged on two sides of the movement path, such that the user may browse each virtual interactive object when controlling the virtual character to move along the movement path. After arranging the exemplary graphic corresponding to each virtual interactive object, the terminal device may accordingly determine the display region of each virtual interactive object in the game scene according to an arrangement result, that is, the terminal device may determine which regions to display the exemplary graphic corresponding to each virtual interactive object according to the arrangement positioning assigned to each virtual interactive object. For example, in the example shown in
In an example, the virtual interactive object may be arranged according to the movement path in the following way:
In a further embodiment, the virtual interactive objects may also be arranged and aligned in two columns along two sides of the movement path. For example, as shown in
In a further example, in the case that a large number of virtual interactive objects are arranged, offset processing may be performed on the virtual interactive objects at adjacent display positions, such that the virtual interactive objects will not occlude each other during display. For example, the terminal device may flexibly set the size of the display region used to display the virtual interactive object according to the number of virtual interactive objects to be displayed, and set an appropriate offset according to the size of the display region, such that when displaying each virtual interactive object, each virtual interactive object may be separated from each other due to the existence of the set offset, and do not occlude each other to affect browsing. In this way, each virtual interactive object may be displayed to the user in a clear and orderly manner, which helps to improve the browsing efficiency of the user.
In a further example, the terminal device may also receive screening information input by the user and screen the virtual interactive objects according to the screening information. The screening information may be specific information related to a type of virtual interactive object, such as a virtual transaction entry, a virtual scene entry, a virtual prop or another virtual character. When the virtual interactive object that the user is interested in is limited to the virtual transaction entry, the screening information may also be specific information related to item information of a transaction item corresponding to the virtual transaction entry. For example, the user may only be interested in the virtual prop in the game scene, in this case, the browse mode may provide a screening information input interface, and the user may manually input screening information in the screening information input interface or select the corresponding screening information in a drop-down menu, for example, input “virtual prop”, to specify the virtual prop to be display in the game scene with priority through the screening information. When the virtual interactive object that the user is interested in is limited to the virtual transaction entry, that is, when the user is only interested in the virtual transaction item, for example, the user may only be interested in orange equipment in the protective gear type and priced less than 200 gold, and in this case, the user may manually input screening information in the screening information input interface or select the corresponding screening information in a drop-down menu, for example, input “protective gear”, “orange”, “less than 200 gold”, to specify the virtual transaction entry to be displayed in the game scene with priority through the screening information. After receiving the screening information, the terminal device may screen each virtual interactive object according to the screening information and acquire the virtual interactive object that meets the requirements of the screening information. After that, the terminal device may display the screened virtual interactive object at a position closest to the movement path.
For example, as shown in
In an embodiment, when at least one displayed virtual interactive object includes a virtual transaction entry, a transaction type of each virtual transaction entry may be determined, for example, the transaction type may be determined according to at least one piece of information in the item information of the transaction item associated with the virtual transaction entry, and the item information may include, for example, a name (such as helmet, antidote, etc.), a price, a type (such as protective gear, accessories, potions, etc.), a level, a quality (such as orange equipment, purple equipment), a virtual effect (such as detoxification, de-icing), etc., of the transaction item. For example, according to the “quality” information in the item information, it may be determined which stall's transaction type is orange equipment, and which stall's transaction type is purple equipment, etc.; and according to the “type” information in the item information, it may be determined which stall's transaction type is protective gear, and which stall's transaction type is accessories, etc. Thus, in a case that a large number of the virtual transaction entries are required to be displayed and it is difficult to offset the virtual transaction entries at adjacent display positions, for example, as shown in
For example, as shown in
In step S230, the virtual character is controlled to move at a preset speed in the game scene according to the movement path.
In the embodiment, the virtual character may be controlled to move at the preset speed along the determined movement path within the game scene to realize the experience of “strolling around stalls and browsing”. The preset speed may, for example, allow the virtual character to move through 1/7 of the game screen per second. The preset speed may be set according to actual needs, such that neither the virtual character will move too fast and cause the user to have no time to view each virtual interactive object, nor the virtual character will move too slowly and cause the process of browsing to be protracted.
In an embodiment, a virtual movement control related to the movement of the virtual character may be generated in the browse mode, such that the user may control a movement speed of the virtual character through the virtual movement control. For example, as shown in
Through the above examples, the user may freely control the movement speed or stop of the virtual character in the scene, thus realizing a personalized experience of the rhythm of browsing, such that the user may better select the virtual interactive object to be interacted with, so as to improve the user experience.
In step S240, the at least one virtual interactive object is displayed on the graphical user interface according to a real-time movement position of the virtual character and based on the display region of the arranged virtual interactive object in the game scene.
In the present embodiment, as the virtual character moves along the movement path, each virtual interactive object may be displayed on the graphical user interface along the movement path (for example, on two sides of the movement path) according to the real-time movement position of the virtual character and based on the display region of the arranged virtual interactive object for display determined as described above. For example, as the virtual character moves forward along the movement path, the game scene on two sides of the movement path will change accordingly; and correspondingly, as described above, each virtual interactive object may be rendered as an exemplary graphic that is scaled down proportionally, and each exemplary graphic is displayed, for example, in the display region located on two sides of the movement path along the movement path. In this way, when the real-time movement position of the virtual character changes, the exemplary graphic of each virtual interactive object displayed on the game screen is also refreshed, thus bringing the user an experience of shopping and browsing similar to the reality.
In an embodiment, when the user determines the virtual interactive object to be interacted with, the user may click the exemplary graphic of the virtual interactive object to be interacted with through a touch screen of the terminal device; in response to a touch operation on the virtual interactive object, the terminal device may display an interactive interface corresponding to the virtual interactive object, such that the user may further interact with the virtual interactive object through the interactive interface. For example, in the example shown in
When the user clicks the virtual transaction entry 7032, for example, a virtual transaction entry formed by a virtual transaction place fixedly set up in the scene, the interactive interface 7042 may pop up, in addition to displaying some item information of transaction item similar to the interactive interface 7041, the interactive interface 7042 may further include an action interactive option 7052, and the user may control the virtual character to enter the virtual transaction place to select more transaction items by clicking the action interactive option 7052, or the user may control the virtual character to stop interacting with the virtual transaction entry 7032. When the user clicks the virtual interactive object corresponding to the virtual scene entry, an interactive option similar to the above action interactive option 7052 may also pop up, such that the user may choose to enter or leave the virtual scene.
When the user clicks a virtual interactive object 7033, for example, a virtual interactive object corresponding to a virtual prop, an interactive interface 7043 may pop up. The interactive interface 7043 may include an action interactive option 7053, and the user may control the virtual character to pick up the virtual prop by clicking the action interactive option 7053, or the user may control the virtual character to discard the virtual prop.
When the user clicks a virtual interactive object 7034, for example, a virtual interactive object corresponding to another virtual character, an interactive interface 7044 may pop up. The interactive interface 7044 may include an action interactive option 7054, and the user may control a series of interactive actions, such as conversing with the another virtual character, undertaking a task, getting a task reward, fighting, etc., by clicking on the action interactive option 7054.
It should be noted that in the example shown in
Through the above embodiments, the user may instantly provide an interface for quick interaction during the process of browsing various virtual interactive objects, so as to realize the browsing experience of “browsing while interacting”, and provide the user with a realistic experience similar to real shopping and browsing while facilitating the user to find virtual interactive object of interest, which reduces the difficulty of the user to browse the virtual interactive object, and also helps to improve user's game immersion.
In a further embodiment, after displaying the interactive interface corresponding to the virtual interactive object, a movement speed of the virtual character may be reduced or the virtual character may be controlled to stop moving, such that the user may check the interactive interface and perform further interaction without missing the browsing of the subsequent virtual interactive object due to the continuous movement. Through the above embodiment, a convenient object interactive mode is provided for the user, such that the user may “browse while interacting” in the process of shopping and browsing, which is more close to the shopping and browsing experience in reality, thus helping to improve user's immersion.
In a further embodiment, after reducing the movement speed of the virtual character or controlling the virtual character to stop moving, the user may further control the movement of the virtual character through the virtual movement control as described above. For example, the user may input the speed adjustment command through the virtual movement control, such as by dragging the speed adjustment slider generated in the game interface, such that the virtual character moves at a slower specified speed or accelerates the movement speed. The user may also input the stop command through the virtual movement control, such as, by dragging the speed adjustment slider to the bottom of the slide slot or directly clicking the stop button generated below the speed adjustment slide slot, such that the virtual character stops moving. Correspondingly, in response to the speed adjustment command or stop command input by the user through the virtual movement control, the terminal device may control and change the movement speed of the virtual character, for example, increase or decrease the movement speed, or control the virtual character to stop moving. In this way, a personalized experience of the rhythm of browsing and shopping may be realized for the user, which helps to enhance user experience.
It should be noted that although the various steps of the methods of the present disclosure are depicted in the drawings in a particular order, this does not require or imply that the steps must be performed in that particular order, or that all of the steps shown must be performed to achieve the desired the results.

In an embodiment, arranging the virtual interactive object according to the movement path includes: randomly arranging the virtual interactive objects on two sides of the movement path; or sequentially arranging, according to relative positions between the virtual interactive objects and the movement path in the game scene, the virtual interactive objects along the movement path.
In an embodiment, the method further includes: arranging and aligning the virtual interactive objects in two columns along two sides of the movement path.
In an embodiment, the method further includes: offsetting virtual interactive objects at adjacent display positions such that the virtual interactive objects do not occlude each other during display.
In an embodiment, the method further includes: receiving screening information, and performing screening on the virtual interactive objects according to the screening information; and arranging a screened virtual interactive object at a position closest to the movement path.
In an embodiment, the method further includes: when at least one displayed virtual interactive object includes a virtual transaction entry, determining a transaction type of each virtual transaction entry; combining and displaying N virtual transaction entries belonging to a same transaction type as a single virtual transaction entry; or setting display regions of N virtual transaction entries belonging to a same transaction type in the game scene together; where N is a natural number greater than 1.
In an embodiment, the method further includes: in response to a touch operation on the virtual interactive object, displaying an interactive interface corresponding to the virtual interactive object.
In an embodiment, after displaying the interactive interface corresponding to the virtual interactive object, the method further includes: reducing a movement speed of the virtual character, or controlling the virtual character to stop moving.
In an embodiment, the browse mode further includes a virtual movement control; after reducing the movement speed of the virtual character or after controlling the virtual character to stop moving, the method further includes: changing, in response to a speed adjustment command input through the virtual movement control, the movement speed of the virtual character; or controlling, in response to a stop command input through the virtual movement control, the virtual character to stop moving.
In the above manner, on the one hand, the virtual interactive object is regularly displayed in the game scene along the movement path of the virtual character, which solves the problem of stall setup and messy display at least to a certain extent, reduces the difficulty for the user to select the stall of interest, avoids the need for the user to move the virtual character back and forth to find a suitable stall, and reduces the user's fatigue during the game. On the other hand, the virtual interactive object in the game is displayed along the movement path of the virtual character, such that the user may get a real experience of shopping and viewing stalls in the game scene similar to that in real life, and it also solves the problem that when there are a plurality of virtual interactive objects in the same scene, the interaction between the user and the corresponding object is affected since each virtual interactive object occludes each other, which helps to improve the user experience and enhance the user's immersion.
