Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the embodiments of the present application will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Virtual pets: a digital pet that is presented in a cartoon and/or animal form of a pet image. The virtual pet is a two-dimensional digital pet or a three-dimensional digital pet, for example, the virtual pet is a three-dimensional virtual pet represented by a pet image in the form of a cartoon cat. Optionally, the pet image in which a portion of the virtual pet is present is randomly generated, such as the pet image of the 0 th generation virtual pet; the pet image of the virtual pet exists in a part which is generated according to genetic rules according to the pet images of the parent virtual pet and/or the virtual pets of other ancestors, for example, the pet images of the offspring virtual pets except the 0 generation virtual pet are generated according to the genetic rules. Optionally, each fictitious pet has a unique gene sequence comprising generation parameters for determining the pet image of the fictitious pet, also referred to as image parameters.

In some embodiments, the pet information for each virtual pet is stored on the blockchain system, stored and authenticated via a consensus mechanism of multiple nodes on the blockchain system. The pet information at least includes: the unique gene sequence of the virtual pet may optionally include: at least one of identification of the virtual pet, parent information of the virtual pet, intergenerational information of the virtual pet, genealogical information of the virtual pet, historical trading stream information of the virtual pet, historical lifetime event information of the virtual pet, and other information of the virtual pet. The virtual pets have a collectible attribute because the gene sequence of each virtual pet is unique and the information stored on the blockchain system is real and unique. Meanwhile, since the pet information of the virtual pet is stored in the blockchain system, even if the virtual pet is a digital pet designed to be used in the first client, the virtual pet can be conveniently migrated to the second client for use. The first client and the second client are different clients.

In some embodiments, the virtual pet is a digital pet exposed by a client (or application) running in the terminal. The client comprises at least one of the following functions: grabbing a virtual pet, generating a virtual pet, breeding a virtual pet, trading a virtual pet, using a virtual pet for combat, using a virtual pet for Augmented Reality (AR) interaction, using a virtual pet for social interaction, and using a virtual pet for AR education. In other embodiments, the client is a client that performs acquisition, breeding, and/or trading of virtual pets based on a blockchain system. In other embodiments, the client is a geographic location-based social gaming program that provides at least one of collecting, growing, and/or fighting with virtual pets.

In some embodiments, the client has the capability to fight using a virtual pet. In this case, the gene sequence determines the characteristics of the virtual pet. The above features may include: extrinsic features and/or intrinsic features.

The appearance characteristic is a characteristic representing the pet image of the virtual pet. Alternatively, the virtual pet may include different body parts such as skin, patches, ears, beard, floral designs, eyes, and mouth, each of which may have a variety of different appearance characteristics. The appearance may include visible features such as color, shape, texture, etc. For example, the skin appearance may include different colors such as white skin, red skin, orange skin, yellow skin, green skin, cyan skin, blue skin, and purple skin. For another example, the external features of the ear may include different shapes such as a long ear, a short ear, a curled ear, a folded ear, and a normal ear.

Intrinsic characteristics refer to characteristics that embody intrinsic attributes of a virtual pet. For example, the intrinsic attributes may include a variety of different attributes such as intelligence values, attack force values, defense force values, spirit values, magic values, force values, endurance values, agility values, latent values, speed values, life values, and the like.

Gene sequence of virtual pet: includes a set of parameter values, also referred to as character parameters, for generating a pet character for the virtual pet. Taking the virtual pet as an example of a 3D virtual pet, the pet image of each virtual pet comprises a plurality of types of 3D image materials, each type of 3D image material corresponds to different role parts and/or texture levels, each 3D image material corresponds to a material identifier, and each type of 3D material identifier can be regarded as a parameter value in the gene sequence. Illustratively, if the 3D body model of a 3D virtual pet is the same, the pet image of the 3D virtual pet comprises at least 8 3D image materials (also called local features): 3D body model, ear model, skin material, eye material, nose material, mouth material, beard material, body stripe material, chest and abdomen pattern material. Optionally, the pet image of the 3D virtual pet may further optionally include: tail material, outside pendant material and global characteristics. Tail material is a characteristic of the tail model used to determine the virtual pet, such as a long, thin tail or a short, thick tail when the pet image is an animal type; the external hanging material is used for determining the characteristics of accessories of the virtual pet, and the accessories comprise but are not limited to at least one of a backpack, glasses, handheld props, a belt, clothes, a hat, shoes and a head ornament; the global feature is an integrated character feature of the body model for covering the virtual pet and has the highest priority for display. When the target image parameters include the global features, the global features can cover the local features to be displayed completely, that is, the local features can be hidden and not displayed. For example, when a certain pet cat has a superhuman global feature, the pet cat does not display the own cat image, but displays a pet image with a superhuman appearance or a pet image with a robot appearance.

Correspondingly, the gene sequences include: at least one of global characteristic parameter, skin texture characteristic parameter, skin color characteristic parameter, belly texture characteristic parameter, belly color characteristic parameter, eye texture characteristic parameter, eye color characteristic parameter, mouth texture characteristic parameter, mouth color characteristic parameter, beard texture characteristic parameter, beard color characteristic parameter, ear characteristic parameter, tail characteristic parameter, and pendant characteristic parameter. A gene sequence may be represented by a plurality of key-value pairs arranged in sequence, which may take the form of (gene name, parameter value). In an illustrative example, the Gene sequence is represented as Gene ═ 3D body model feature, default), (skin feature, smooth), (belly feature, floral 1), (mouth texture feature, small tiger 1), (mouth color feature, red), (tail feature, thick short shape) ].

Genetic rules of genes: the pet image of the parent virtual pet and/or other ancestor virtual pets is transmitted by imitating the genetic rule of a real organism, so as to generate the pet image of the child virtual pet. In some embodiments, to ensure that each virtual pet is a unique personalized virtual pet, each virtual pet has a unique gene sequence. In some embodiments, the genetic rule is a rule for generating a pet image with unique characteristics for a child virtual pet after recombining and de-duplicating the pet image of a parent virtual pet and/or other grandparent virtual pets according to genetic rules. The duplication removal means a mechanism that when a gene sequence identical to that of the existing virtual pet appears in the genetic process, the gene sequence of the virtual pet is regenerated, so that the gene uniqueness of the virtual pet is ensured. Alternatively, since the genetic rule is a genetic rule that mimics an actual organism, there are also limitations in the breeding process such as the length of pregnancy, inability of close relatives to breed, and the like.

In the present example, a genetic gene exists between two virtual pets having a genetic relationship. The genetic gene refers to a gene which is inherited by one of two virtual pets having a genetic relationship to the other. The characteristic determined by the genetic gene may be referred to as a genetic characteristic. The same genetic characteristics exist between two virtual pets with genetic relationship, namely the same image material characteristics exist. For example, two virtual pets with genetic relationships, both have yellow skin. As another example, two virtual pets with genetic relationships, both with red skin and with tucked ears. The number of the genetic characteristics may be one or more, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto. In general, the closer the generations between two virtual pets having a genetic relationship, the more genetic features; conversely, the more distant the ancestors between two virtual pets having a genetic relationship, the fewer the genetic trait.

The information of the virtual pet is as follows: the information of the generation number of the virtual pet in the whole virtual pet world is determined by the generation of the father virtual pet and the mother virtual pet of the virtual pet. In some embodiments, the offspring of the child virtual pet is obtained by adding one to the maximum offspring numbers of the father virtual pet and the mother virtual pet, for example, if the father virtual pet is a 0 th generation virtual pet, the mother virtual pet is a 4 th generation virtual pet, and the child virtual pet is a 5 th generation virtual pet. In some embodiments, the ancestor of the primary virtual pet is the lowest, e.g., 0. The era of the non-primary virtual pet is determined by the era of the virtual pet of the father mother. The era of the child virtual pet bred and generated by the father virtual pet is higher than that of the father virtual pet. In one example, if only the parent virtual pet of the same ancestor is allowed to breed to generate the child virtual pet (i.e., the next generation virtual pet), the ancestor of the child virtual pet is equal to the ancestor of the parent virtual pet plus 1. For example, if the ancestors of the parent virtual pets are all 1, the ancestors of the child virtual pets are 2; for another example, if the ancestors of the parent virtual pets are all 0, the ancestors of the child virtual pets are 1. In another example, if both the parent virtual pet of the same ancestor is allowed to breed to generate the child virtual pet (i.e., the next generation virtual pet) and the parent virtual pet of a different ancestor is allowed to breed to generate the child virtual pet, the ancestor of the child virtual pet is equal to the ancestor of the higher ancestor of the parent virtual pet plus 1. For example, if the era of the father virtual pet is 0, the era of the mother virtual pet is 2, and the era of the child virtual pet is 3. In addition, the primary virtual pet is not bred by the father virtual pet and the mother virtual pet, but automatically produced by the virtual pet system. Therefore, the primary virtual pet does not have a parent virtual pet and a mother virtual pet, and even has no other virtual pet which is higher in generation and has a genetic relationship with the primary virtual pet.

Optionally, the information of the father-mother virtual pet includes: identification of the parent virtual pet. Or, the identification of the parent virtual pet, the first image parameter and the second image parameter. Optionally, the propagation request further carries a current user account in the terminal.

Step 807, the server receives the breeding request sent by the terminal;

optionally, the server extracts information of the current breeding process from the breeding request, and detects whether the current breeding process meets the breeding conditions according to the information in the breeding request.

Optionally, the propagation conditions include, but are not limited to, at least one of the following three conditions:

1. the current user account has a propagation room prop in an available state.

The breeding house prop is a prop used for providing breeding places for father virtual pets and mother virtual pets. The breeding state of the house prop comprises the following steps: available state, in-breeding, and in-breeding completion.

2. The father virtual pet and the mother virtual pet do not have a close relationship.

Alternatively, close relationship means that the father virtual pet and the mother virtual pet do not have a direct relationship within three generations. Illustratively, the parent/mother virtual pet cannot breed with the child/girl virtual pet, and the parent and mother child/girl virtual pet cannot breed with each other.

3. The breeding time reaches the pregnancy time corresponding to the mother virtual pet.

The breeding time is the breeding time of the child virtual pet after breeding is started, and the breeding time is the time timed according to the starting using time of the breeding house props.

Each mother virtual pet corresponds to a respective length of time of pregnancy, and the lengths of time of pregnancy of different mother virtual pets are the same or different. The length of time that the mother's virtual pet is pregnant may be set by the server. In some embodiments, the length of time that the same mother virtual pet is pregnant may vary, such as increasing the length of time that the same mother virtual pet is pregnant after each breeding. The increased length of time of pregnancy can reduce (or control) the total number of child virtual pets bred by the same mother virtual pet.

This embodiment is exemplified by simultaneously including the above three breeding conditions. In this embodiment, the detection is performed in the order of condition 1, condition 2, and condition 3. In other embodiments, the detection may be performed in the order of condition 2, condition 1, and condition 3; or the detection is performed in the order of condition 3, condition 2, and condition 1. Optionally, this embodiment does not limit the sequence in which the server detects the three breeding conditions.

Step 808, the server detects whether the current user account corresponding to the terminal has a propagation room prop in an available state;

optionally, when the breeding request carries a current user account (or other login information), the server queries whether the current user account has available breeding house props.

In some embodiments, the server sends a query request to the database according to the current user account, and queries the number and the state of the propagation houses owned by the user account. Alternatively, each breeding house prop can only be used once.

When the propagation house prop in an unused state is not available, determining that the user account does not have the available propagation house prop; and when more than 1 breeding house prop in an unused state exists, determining that the user account has an available breeding house prop.

When the available propagation house prop is not available, entering step 809; when available breeding house props are available, step 813 is entered.

Step 809, when the propagation house prop in the available state is not owned, the server sends a prompt purchase message to the terminal;

the server sends prompt purchase information to the terminal, and the terminal displays a user interface for purchasing the propagation house prop according to the prompt purchase information and guides a user to purchase the propagation house prop.

Step 810, when the current user account does not have the propagation house prop, the terminal displays a purchase interface for purchasing the propagation house prop;

the purchase interface comprises introduction information, price and purchase entrance of the propagation property. The purchase entry may be a purchase button or a purchase link.

Step 811, the terminal receives a purchase signal triggered on the purchase interface;

optionally, the user may click and purchase the breeding house prop on the purchase interface. That is, the terminal receives a purchase signal triggered by the user on the purchase interface.

Step 812, the terminal purchases the propagation house prop from the server according to the purchase signal;

and the server transfers the virtual resources corresponding to the propagation room prop from the current user account to the middle account of the server according to the operation of the user. Then, the ownership of the breeding house prop is transferred from the intermediate account of the server to the current user account.

Step 813, when the propagation house prop in the available state is owned, the server detects whether the father virtual pet and the mother virtual pet have close relationship;

the database of the server stores the genealogy information of each virtual pet, namely the information of the previous generation virtual pet of each virtual pet and/or the information of the next generation virtual pet of each virtual pet.

And the server determines whether the father virtual pet and the mother virtual pet have close relationship in the genealogy information according to the identifier of the father virtual pet and the identifier of the mother virtual pet.

When the direct close relationship exists, ending the breeding process; when there is no direct affinity, step 814 is entered.

Step 814, when the father virtual pet and the mother virtual pet do not have a close relationship, the server detects whether the breeding time length exceeds the virtual pregnancy time length;

and the server establishes a breeding task according to the breeding request. The breeding task corresponds to a pregnancy duration, and the pregnancy duration is determined according to the characteristics of the virtual pet of the mother. The duration of pregnancy corresponding to virtual pets of different mothers may be the same or different.

Optionally, the server establishes a corresponding one of the breeding tasks for each breeding house. The identifier of each breeding task can be represented by the identifier of a breeding house or the identifier of a mother virtual pet.

Optionally, the server detects whether the breeding time length exceeds the virtual pregnancy time length when receiving a pickup request of the terminal; or, the server detects whether the breeding time exceeds the virtual pregnancy time at intervals of preset time; or the server detects whether the breeding time exceeds the virtual pregnancy time when the timer is overtime.

Step 815, when the breeding time exceeds the virtual pregnancy time, the server generates a third role image of the child virtual pet according to the genetic rule according to the first role image of the father virtual pet and the second role image of the mother virtual pet;

the genetic rules include: at least one of an inheritance rule, a mutation rule, and a loss rule;

the loss rule is that when the first character image and/or the second character image has/have image material of global feature, the third character image has no image material of global feature, and the image material of global feature is integrated image material covering the body model of the virtual pet and has the highest display priority.

The embodiment of the present application does not limit the specific form of the genetic rule.

The information of the child virtual pet includes but is not limited to: at least one of an identification of the child virtual pet, an image parameter of the child virtual pet, a birth time (generation time) of the child virtual pet, parent information of the child virtual pet, and a user account of a first owner of the child virtual pet.

Optionally, the server further submits the information of the child virtual pet to the blockchain system, and when the plurality of nodes on the blockchain system commonly know the information of the child virtual pet, the information of the child virtual pet is stored in the blockchain corresponding to the virtual pet.

817, after the server generates the third triangle image, deducting the propagation house prop from the current user account;

the server deducts the propagation house prop used by the current user account. Namely, the available breeding house prop owned by the current user account is reduced by one.

Step 818, the server pays the transaction fee to the blockchain system by using the resources obtained by deducting the propagation house props;

since each time information is stored on the blockchain system, certain resources need to be paid to the blockchain system. The server also uses the resources obtained by deducting the propagation house props to pay a transaction fee for storing the information of the child virtual pet to the blockchain system.

Step 819, the terminal displays the getting interface of the child virtual pet when the breeding time exceeds the virtual pregnancy time;

optionally, the terminal displays a pickup interface of the child virtual pet when the breeding is successful.

Referring to fig. 7 in conjunction, the user may click on the breeding house prop 47 that has been created to enter the breeding house interface. When a plurality of breeding house props 47 exist, the terminal determines the information of the mother pet cat corresponding to the selected breeding house prop 47 according to the click signal of the user. Meanwhile, the terminal can be switched to a getting interface of the child virtual pet, and the getting interface comprises a 'get baby' button.

Step 820, the terminal receives a pickup signal triggered on a pickup interface;

optionally, the pickup signal is a click signal corresponding to a pickup button in the pickup interface. The get button can also be called get baby button, get child button, get pet button, and other names.

Step 821, the terminal sends a pickup request to the server;

when the user clicks the "get baby" button 48, the terminal sends a get request to the server, where the get request carries the identification of the mother's virtual pet.

Step 822, the server sends the information of the child virtual pet to the terminal;

and the server sends a pickup response to the terminal, wherein the pickup response comprises the information of the child virtual pet.

The information of the child virtual pet includes but is not limited to: at least one of an identification of the child virtual pet, an image parameter of the child virtual pet, a birth time (generation time) of the child virtual pet, parent information of the child virtual pet, and a user account of a first owner of the child virtual pet.
