The following are detailed below.

The present embodiment will describe the virtual gift-giving method provided by the embodiment of the present invention from the perspective of a virtual gift-giving device that can be installed in a terminal having an interface including a button control area including a movable graphic and a plurality of buttons and a gift-giving area, as shown in fig. 3, the virtual gift-giving method of the present embodiment includes the steps of:

and step S101, determining a button triggered by a user in the button control area, wherein the button is any one of the plurality of buttons.

For example, in a live scene, when a viewer (i.e., user) wants to give a virtual gift to a main broadcast, the user may select a virtual gift to be given first in a gift shop, and the virtual gift may be: the method comprises the steps of simulating goose eggs, virtual fighters, virtual candies and the like, then triggering any one button in a plurality of buttons in a button control area according to the requirement of the terminal, and determining the button triggered by a user by the terminal.

For another example, in a social scenario, when a social user (i.e., user) wants to give a virtual gift to other social users, the user may select a virtual gift to be given by a gift shop, where the virtual gift includes: the method comprises the steps of simulating flowers, goose eggs, candies and the like, triggering any one button in a plurality of buttons in a button control area according to the requirement of the user, and determining the button triggered by the user by the terminal.

And S102, laying out a plurality of buttons and movable graphs of the button control area according to the determined buttons.

For example, the terminal may enlarge and display the button triggered by the user in the button control area, maintain the button not triggered by the user in the original display state to be distinguished from the button not triggered by the user, and adjust the position of the movable graphic in the button control area according to the display position of the button triggered by the user, so that the button control area presents an aesthetic layout.

In a specific embodiment, the button control area may be a circular control area, the plurality of buttons may be circular buttons, the movable graphic may be a movable circle, the position information mentioned below may refer to a circle center position, and the plurality of buttons and the movable graphic in the button control area may be arranged as follows:

keeping the display state of the button which is not triggered by the user unchanged, magnifying the button triggered by the user, internally cutting the button triggered by the user into the button control area for displaying, and adjusting the position of the movable graph, so that the movable graph is internally cut into the button control area and is externally cut with the button triggered by the user for displaying.

The specific layout implementation method can be seen in fig. 4, and includes the following steps:

and S1021, acquiring preset position information and a preset display radius of a button triggered by a user.

And step S1022, amplifying the button and internally cutting the button in the button control area for displaying according to the preset position information and the preset display radius of the button.

And S1023, calculating the position information of the movable graph according to the preset position information of the button, the preset display radius and the radius of the movable graph.

And step S1024, adjusting the display position of the movable graph according to the position information of the movable graph, so that the movable graph is internally tangent to the button control area and externally tangent to the button for display.

For example, taking the multiple buttons including the x1 button, the x2 button, and the x3 button as an example, please refer to fig. 5, where fig. 5 shows layout effects of the buttons and the movable graphics of the button control area when the user triggers the x1 button, triggers the x2 button, and triggers the x3 button, respectively.

In specific implementation, the display size and the display position of the button control area may be preset, and for fixed display, the display position and the display radius of each triggered button and the radius of the movable graphic may be preset, so as to achieve the layout effect of fig. 5, the key point is to obtain the position information of the movable graphic after each triggered button, which may specifically be as follows:

in order to facilitate the calculation of the position information, a plane coordinate system may be established, and specifically, the plane coordinate system may be established with the position of the button control area, for example: the y-axis may be established on a line vertically tangent to the button control area and the x-axis may be established on a line perpendicular to the y-axis and transversely through the center of the button control area. Of course, in practical applications, the plane coordinate system may also be established in other ways, which is not specifically limited herein.

When a user triggers the X1 button, as shown in fig. 6a, preset position information (X1, Y1) of the X1 button and a preset display radius R1 of the X1 button may be obtained, and the X1 button is enlarged and inscribed in the button control area to be displayed according to the preset position information (X1, Y1) and the preset display radius R1 of the X1 button; meanwhile, the position information of the movable graph is calculated according to the preset position information (X1, Y1) of the X1 button, the preset display radius R1 and the radius R of the movable graph, and the position information of the movable graph may be: (X1 + R1+ R, Y1), adjusting the circle center of the movable graph to (X1 + R1+ R, Y1), so that the movable graph is internally tangent to the button control area and is displayed in a circumscribed manner with the X1 button.

When the user triggers the X2 button, as shown in fig. 6b, the preset position information (X2, Y2) of the X2 button and the preset display radius R2 of the X2 button may be obtained, and the X2 button is enlarged and inscribed in the button control area to be displayed according to the preset position information (X2, Y2) and the preset display radius R1 of the X2 button; meanwhile, the position information of the movable graph is calculated according to the preset position information (X2, Y2) of the X2 button, the preset display radius R2 and the radius R of the movable graph, and the position information of the movable graph may be:

adjusting the center of a circle of the movable graph to

The movable graphic is thus inscribed within the button control area and displayed circumscribed to the x2 button.

When the user triggers the X3 button, as shown in fig. 6c, the preset position information (X3, Y3) of the X3 button and the preset display radius R3 of the X3 button may be obtained, and the X3 button is enlarged and inscribed in the button control area to be displayed according to the preset position information (X3, Y3) and the preset display radius R3 of the X3 button; meanwhile, the position information of the movable graph is calculated according to the preset position information (X3, Y3) of the X3 button, the preset display radius R3 and the radius R of the movable graph, the position information of the movable graph is the circle center position (X3, Y3-R3-R) of the movable graph, the circle center of the movable graph is adjusted to be (X3, Y3-R3-R), and therefore the movable graph is internally tangent to the button control area and externally tangent to the X3 button for display.

In a specific implementation, the preset display radii R1, R2, and R3 of the three buttons may be the same.

And step S103, generating and displaying a corresponding gift-giving animation in the gift-giving area according to the determined button.

For example, corresponding animation parameter files may be configured for different buttons in advance, after a button triggered by a user is determined, the animation parameter file corresponding to the button is acquired, and a gift-giving animation is generated according to the animation parameter file and displayed.

In a specific implementation, step S102 and step S103 may be executed synchronously without distinguishing a sequence.

In this embodiment, each button may support two triggering manners, namely a long press and a click, and when the triggered button of the user is determined, the identification information and the triggering manner of the button triggered by the user may be determined, and then a method for generating and displaying a corresponding gift-giving animation in the gift-giving area according to the determined button may be as shown in fig. 7, and includes the following steps:

and step S1031, determining gift giving quantity according to the identification information.

The gift-offering amount may be determined based on the identification information by directly determining a numerical value included in the identification information of the button as the gift-offering amount. Take the example that the plurality of buttons include an x1 button, an x2 button, and an x3 button. When the triggering mode is clicking, clicking the x1 button, wherein the gift presenting quantity clicked each time is 1, clicking the x2 button, wherein the gift presenting quantity clicked each time is 2, clicking the x3 button, and clicking the gift presenting quantity clicked each time is 3. When the triggering mode is long press, taking the long press time length of each button as the example, and taking the preset time length as the example, the x1 button is long pressed, the gift giving number of each long press is 1, the x2 button is long pressed, the gift giving number of each long press is 2, the x3 button is long pressed, and the gift giving number of each long press is 3.

In addition, when the trigger mode is long press, the gift giving speed can also be determined according to the identification information, the gift giving quantity is determined according to the gift giving speed and the long press time, and the gift giving quantity is equal to the product of the gift giving speed and the long press time. In this embodiment, the gift-giving speed is different by long-pressing different buttons. For example, if the x1 button is pressed for a long time, the gift-giving speed is N per second, the x2 button is pressed for a long time, the gift-giving speed is 2N per second, and if the x3 button is pressed for a long time, the gift-giving speed is 3N per second, where N is a positive integer.

And step S1032, determining a gift giving mode according to the triggering mode.

In a specific implementation, the gift presentation mode corresponding to the click may be determined as a double presentation mode, and the gift presentation mode corresponding to the long press may be determined as a one-by-one presentation mode. The double presenting mode may refer to a mode in which a predetermined number of gifts are presented at a time; the present-by-present mode may mean that one gift is presented at a time until the present presentation number reaches the preset number.

Taking triggering the x3 button as an example, the double-giving mode may be that when the user clicks the x3 button, 3 gifts are given at one time, if the initial value of the number of the gift-giving animations is 0, the number value of the gift-giving animations is directly switched to 3 after clicking, that is, the number change process of the gift-giving animations is: 0 to 3; the one-by-one presenting mode may be that when the user long-presses the x3 button, the gifts are presented one by one, the number of the gift-presenting animations is increased one by one from a certain initial value until 3 values are added, and if the initial value of the number of the gift-presenting animations is 0, the number of the gift-presenting animations is increased one by one until 3 values are added, that is, the number of the gift-presenting animations is changed as follows: 0-1-2-3.

In addition, the speed of change of the number of gift-giving animations is different when different buttons are pressed for a long time. For example, when the x2 button is pressed long, the rate of change in the number of gift-giving animations may be 2 times the rate of change in the number of gift-giving animations when the x1 button is pressed long, and when the x3 button is pressed long, the rate of change in the number of gift-giving animations may be 3 times the rate of change in the number of gift-giving animations when the x1 button is pressed long.

And step S1033 of generating and displaying a corresponding gift-giving animation in the gift-giving area according to the gift-giving quantity and the gift-giving mode.

In a specific implementation, as shown in fig. 8, when the user triggers a certain button in a click manner, multiple presenting animations may be generated in the present presenting area according to the present presenting quantity, and when the user triggers a certain button in a long-press manner, one-by-one presenting animations may be generated in the present presenting area according to the present presenting quantity.

Further, since the button control area provides a plurality of buttons, the user can switch to use other buttons according to the requirement during the gift giving process. For example, when the user wants to switch to give a gift using the x2 button after giving the gift using the x1 button, the user may directly click the x2 button after clicking the x1 button; or after the x1 button is pressed for a long time, releasing the x1 button and directly pressing the x2 button for a long time; or the user can also drag the x1 button directly to the position of the x2 button to switch to the x2 button.

In order to support the user to perform button switching in a dragging manner, in this embodiment, an effective control area may be set for each button, and the effective control area of each button may be calculated by using the preset position information of the button and the preset position information of an adjacent button of the button. Taking the multiple buttons including the X1 button, the X2 button, and the X3 button, the preset position information of the X1 button is (X1, Y1), the preset position information of the X2 button is (X2, Y2), and the preset position information of the X3 button is (X3, Y3), for example, the effective control area of the X1 button may be: (X1. Ltoreq. X < (X2-X1)/2, Y1. Ltoreq. Y < (Y2-Y1)/2), the effective control area of the X2 button may be: y ((X2-X1)/2. Ltoreq. X < (X3-X2)/2, (Y2-Y1)/2. Ltoreq. Y < (Y3-Y2)/2), the effective control area of the X3 button may be: ((X3-X2)/2. Ltoreq. X < X3, (Y3-Y2)/2. Ltoreq. Y < Y3). The division of the effective control area of the button in this embodiment is only an example, and in practical applications, other ways may also be used for division, which is not specifically limited herein.

In the process of button switching by dragging the buttons by a user, a dragging track can be obtained, the dragging track can be a motion track of the central point of the buttons, and the layout of the button control area is adjusted according to the dragging track and the effective control area of each button. The layout adjustment method may be as follows:

(1) When the dragging track does not exceed the effective control area of the button (namely the original button triggered by the user), the button is internally tangent to the button control area to be displayed according to the dragging track, and the position of the movable graph is adjusted according to the dragging track, so that the movable graph is always internally tangent to the button control area and externally tangent to the button to be displayed.

The specific adjustment implementation process may be as shown in fig. 9, and includes the following steps:

and S201, internally cutting the button into the button control area to display according to the dragging track and the preset display radius of the button.

Step S202, calculating a switching rate according to the dragging track, the preset position information of the button and the preset position information of the adjacent button of the button.

Step S203, calculating the motion trail of the movable graph according to the switching rate, the position information of the movable graph when the button is triggered and the position information of the movable graph when the adjacent button of the button is triggered.

And S204, adjusting the display position of the movable graph according to the motion track so that the movable graph is always internally tangent to the button control area and externally tangent to the button for display.

Taking the example of switching the x1 button into the x2 button in a dragging manner, during the dragging process, the x1 button can be inscribed in the button control area to be displayed according to a dragging track and a preset display radius R1 of the x1 button; assuming that the dragging distance of the X1 button on the X axis is X (the difference between the X value of the current dragging point and X1) and the dragging distance on the Y axis is Y (the difference between the Y value of the current dragging point and Y1), the switching rate may be calculated according to the preset position information (X1, Y1) of the dragging distance X, Y, X button and the preset position information (X2, Y2) of the X2 button, where the switching rate may include the switching rate in the X axis direction: rateX = X/(X2-X1), and switching rate in the y-axis direction: rateY = Y/(Y2-Y1), the motion trajectory of the movable graph during dragging may be:

and adjusting the circle center of the movable graph according to the calculated running track, so that the movable graph is always internally tangent to the button control area and externally tangent to and displayed by the button.

(2) When the dragging track exceeds the effective control area of the button and enters the effective control area of the adjacent button of the button, the button can be reduced, the adjacent button is enlarged and internally tangent to the button control area to be displayed, and the position of the movable graph is adjusted, so that the movable graph is internally tangent to the button control area and externally tangent to the adjacent button to be displayed.

The specific adjustment implementation process can be as shown in fig. 10, and includes the following steps:

and S301, acquiring preset position information and preset display radius of adjacent buttons.

And S302, amplifying and internally cutting the adjacent buttons into the button control area for display according to the preset position information and the preset display radius of the adjacent buttons.

Step S303, calculating the position information of the movable graph according to the preset position information of the adjacent buttons, the preset display radius and the radius of the movable graph.

And S304, adjusting the display position of the movable graph according to the position information of the movable graph, so that the movable graph is internally tangent to the button control area and is externally tangent to and displayed by the adjacent buttons.

The method shown in fig. 10, i.e., the layout method of the buttons and the movable graphics of the button control area when the x2 button is activated.

Still take the example of switching the X1 button into the X2 button in a dragging manner, in the dragging process, when the dragging track exceeds the effective control area of the X1 button, and after entering the effective control area of the X2 button, the X1 button can be reduced (that is, the X1 button is displayed according to the state before the X1 button is not triggered), the preset position information (X2, Y2) and the preset display radius R2 of the X2 button are obtained, the X2 button is enlarged and internally tangent to the button control area to be displayed according to the preset position information (X2, Y2) and the preset display radius R2 of the X2 button, and meanwhile, the position information of the movable graph is calculated according to the preset position information (X2, Y2) and the preset display radius R2 of the X2 button and the radius R of the movable graph, and the position information of the movable graph can be:

adjusting the center of a circle of the movable graph to

In addition, when the user switches the buttons in a dragging manner, a corresponding gift-presenting animation can be generated and displayed in the gift-presenting area according to the dragging track and the effective control area of each button, and the specific generation method of the animation can be as follows:

(1) When the dragging track does not exceed the effective control area of the button, in the dragging process, a corresponding gift-giving animation can be generated and displayed in the gift-giving area according to the button.

Taking the example of switching the x1 button to the x2 button in a dragging manner, in the dragging process, when the dragging track is in the effective control area of the x1 button, the corresponding gift-giving animation is generated and displayed in the gift-giving area according to the x1 button. Specifically, during the dragging, the gift-giving animation may be generated and displayed one by one according to the identification information of the x1 button (i.e., the gift-giving animation may be generated in a manner of triggering by pressing the x1 button for a long time).

(2) When the dragging track exceeds the effective control area of the button and enters the effective control area of the adjacent button of the button, in the dragging process, the corresponding gift-giving animation can be generated and displayed in the gift-giving area according to the adjacent button.

Taking the example of switching the x1 button to the x2 button in a dragging manner, in the dragging process, when the dragging track enters the effective control area of the x2 button, the corresponding gift-giving animation may be generated and displayed in the gift-giving area according to the x2 button. Specifically, after entering the effective control area of the x2 button, gift-offering animations may be generated and displayed one by one according to the identification information of the x2 button (i.e., gift-offering animations are generated in a triggering manner of long pressing of the x2 button).

In a specific implementation, in the process of switching the x1 button to the x2 button in a dragging manner, as shown in fig. 11, the current position coordinate of the x1 button may be obtained, and whether the current position coordinate of the x1 button is within the effective control area of the x1 button is determined, if yes, the presenting animations are continuously generated and displayed one by one according to the identification information of the x1 button, that is, in the dragging process, the present presenting speed is the same as that when the x1 button is pressed for a long time, and is maintained unchanged; and when the current position coordinate of the x1 button exceeds the effective control area of the x1 button and enters the effective control area of the x2 button, the gifting animations are generated one by one according to the identification information of the x2 button and displayed, and the gifting speed of the gifts is doubled compared with that when the x1 button is pressed for a long time.
