Therefore, the generated presentation notification message comprising the target virtual gift and the display position is sent to the second client under the condition that the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift is obtained, the second client can display the target virtual gift at the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift in a corresponding rendering special effect mode, the special effect of the target virtual gift is not limited to be displayed at the fixed display position, the interestingness of the virtual gift in presentation is improved, meanwhile, the interactive experience of the user in presentation is improved, and the viewing retention rate and the viewing duration of the user in the live broadcast process are further improved. Therefore, the method, the device, the electronic equipment and the storage medium for displaying the special effect of the virtual gift are provided by the embodiment of the application.

For the convenience of describing the scheme of the present application in detail, an application environment in the embodiment of the present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 1, an application environment of a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to an embodiment of the present application is schematically illustrated, as shown in fig. 1, the application environment may be understood as a network system 10 according to an embodiment of the present application, where the network system 10 includes: a server 11, a first client 12 and a second client 13.

The server 11 may be a server (network access server), a server cluster (cloud server) composed of a plurality of servers, or a cloud computing center (database server). The first client 12 and the second client 13 may be any device with communication and storage functions, including but not limited to a PC (Personal Computer), a PDA (tablet Computer), a smart television, a smart phone, a smart wearable device, or other smart communication devices with network connection functions.

It should be noted that the method in the embodiment of the present application is applied to a live webcast platform, and as a manner, the live webcast platform may operate in one server 11 as shown in fig. 1, or may operate in a server cluster formed by a plurality of servers 11 (only one is shown in the figure).

Optionally, both the first client 12 and the second client 13 may be clients of an instant messaging application or a social network application, where the clients may be application clients (such as a video playing application in a mobile phone APP) or web page clients (such as a live webcast platform), which is not limited herein. The server 11 may establish a communication connection with the first client 12 and the second client 13 through a network, which may be a wireless network or a wired network. The user may log in to the first client 12 or the second client 13 or the internet using a registered user account, the first client 12 and the second client 13 may have an information input interface in which the user inputs text information, and the text information may be displayed in a chat interface of the first client 12 or the second client 13.

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first client 12 and the second client 13 may be the same client, and in this way, after the user logs in the client, the special effect of giving a virtual gift to the network anchor may be displayed on the display interface of the client. Optionally, the first client 12 and the second client 13 in this embodiment may be different clients, in this way, the second client 13 may include a plurality of clients (only two clients are shown in fig. 1), and after the user logs in the first client 12, a special effect of giving a virtual gift to the network anchor may be displayed on the display interfaces of the first client 12 and the second client 13, respectively. Optionally, the special effect of the login user of the second client 13 on the network anchor gifted virtual gift may be displayed on the display interfaces of the first client 12 and the second client 13, respectively.

The method for displaying the special effect of the virtual gift provided in this embodiment is suitable for presenting the virtual gift and displaying the special effect of the virtual gift in a live broadcast process, and may be that the audience presents the virtual gift to the target anchor through the audience client, so as to display the special effect of the virtual gift at the anchor client and the plurality of audience clients where the target anchor is located, in this way, the audience client presenting the virtual gift may be the first client 12 shown in fig. 1, and the anchor client and the plurality of audience clients where the target anchor is located may be the second client 13 shown in fig. 1. Alternatively, the anchor presents the virtual gift to another anchor through the anchor client, so that the special effects of the virtual gift can be shown at the anchor client where the anchor presenting the virtual gift and the anchor receiving the virtual gift are located and the multiple audience clients. In this manner, the anchor client at which the anchor for gifting the virtual gift is located may be the first client 12 shown in fig. 1, the anchor client at which the anchor for receiving the virtual gift is located, and the plurality of viewer clients may be the second client 13 shown in fig. 1.

Embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Referring to fig. 2, a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to an embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment provides a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, which is applicable to a first client, and the method includes:

step S110: the first client obtains a target virtual gift.

Optionally, the first client in this embodiment may be an audience terminal that presents the virtual gift to the anchor, or may be an anchor client at which an anchor that presents the virtual gift to another anchor is located, which is not limited herein. The target virtual gift is selected to be presented to the anchor, the target virtual gift has gift special effects, including dynamic special effects or three-dimensional special effects and the like, the specific form of the special effects of the virtual gift is not limited, the special effects of different virtual gifts can be different, and the special effects of different quantities of the same virtual gift can also be different.

In a specific application scenario, as shown in fig. 3, a display interface 101 of an electronic device 100 displays a live screen of a certain anchor ("XXX anchor") 102, and a gift box 103 is displayed in a lower right corner of the display interface 101. A variety of different virtual gifts are included in the gift certificate 103. Alternatively, if the gift certificate 103 is clicked, a plurality of different virtual gifts (only two of which are shown in fig. 4, including the virtual gift 1031 and the virtual gift 1032) within the gift certificate 103 as shown in fig. 4 may pop up. The virtual gift that needs to be given can be selected as the target virtual gift among the various different virtual gifts that pop up.

Step S120: and acquiring a display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

The virtual gift in the gift box is sent out, and then the special effect of the virtual gift can be displayed at a fixed position (for example, the center of the display interface) of the display interface 101 of the electronic device 100. However, the gift sending mode lacks the user interaction experience in the gift sending process, so that the gift sending willingness of the user is greatly reduced, and meanwhile, the user retention time in the live broadcasting process is reduced.

As a way of improving the above problem, the present embodiment may send out the target virtual gift at the display position selected by the user, so that the sent out virtual gift may display the special effect of the virtual gift at the display position. In this manner, the position at which the target virtual gift is determined to be sent out may be acquired as the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

The display position may be a position outside the display position of the gift certificate 103 and inside the display position of the display interface 101. Optionally, in some possible embodiments, the display position may be any position within the display interface 101 (in this case, the display position may include the display position of the gift box 103), and the display position may instantaneously show the rendered special effect of the virtual gift without affecting the live view of the main broadcast. Optionally, the virtual gift at the display position is a successfully sent virtual gift.

For example, in a specific application scenario, as shown in fig. 4, assuming that the position where the target virtual gift is determined to be sent is 104, the position 104 may be taken as the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

Step S130: generating a comp notification message including the target virtual gift and the display location.

As one way, after the display position of the target virtual gift is acquired, it may be determined that the target virtual gift is given successfully. In this way, the first client may add a field corresponding to the coordinates represented by the display position in the preset virtual gift-offering protocol to obtain a new gift-offering protocol. For example, assuming that the coordinates represented by the display position are (x, y), two fields (i.e., an x field and a y field) may be added to the preset virtual gift sending protocol, where the x field may represent an x coordinate away from the left edge of the display interface 101 of the electronic device 100 (left edge of the front view of the live screen), the y field may represent a y coordinate away from the upper edge of the display interface 101 of the electronic device 100 (upper edge of the front view of the live screen), and optionally, the unit of the x field and the y field may be dp.

In one approach, the first client may send the obtained new gift sending protocol to the server to instruct the server to generate a gift notification message including the target virtual gift and the display location based on the new gift sending protocol.

Alternatively, the first client may update the preset virtual gift submission protocol with a new submission protocol, and generate a presentation notification message including the target virtual gift and the display position based on the new submission protocol.

Step S140: sending the comp notification message to a second client for the second client to display the target virtual gift at the display location with a corresponding rendering effect.

As one way, the first client may instruct the server to send the generated give notification message to the second client, so that the second client may display the target virtual gift at the above-mentioned display position of the display interface of the second client with the corresponding rendering special effect, so that the second client may see the give notification message given by the first client to the virtual gift of the anchor. The server may broadcast the comp notification message to all clients watching the current anchor live broadcast in a broadcast manner, and optionally, may include all the second clients and the first client.

As another way, the first client may directly send the comp notification message to the client, so that the second client may display the target virtual gift at the above-mentioned display position of the display interface of the second client with the corresponding rendering special effect.

By sending the presentation notification message to the second client, the client of the second client can see the special effect display of the virtual gift, even if more users see the interest of the virtual gift, and then the gift sending interest of the users is improved, so that the watching retention rate and the watching duration of the users in the live broadcasting process are improved.

In the method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift provided in this embodiment, a first client obtains a target virtual gift, then obtains a display position corresponding to the target virtual gift, generates a presentation notification message including the target virtual gift and the display position, and then sends the presentation notification message to a second client, so that the second client displays the target virtual gift at the display position with a corresponding rendering special effect. Therefore, the generated presentation notification message comprising the target virtual gift and the display position is sent to the second client under the condition that the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift is obtained, the second client can display the target virtual gift at the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift in a corresponding rendering special effect mode, the special effect of the target virtual gift is not limited to be displayed at the fixed display position, the interestingness of the virtual gift in presentation is improved, meanwhile, the interactive experience of the user in presentation is improved, and the viewing retention rate and the viewing duration of the user in the live broadcast process are further improved.

Referring to fig. 5, a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to another embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment provides a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, which is applicable to a first client, and the method includes:

step S210: and if the virtual gift is detected to be selected, displaying a virtual icon corresponding to the virtual gift.

The virtual icon may be an icon having the same shape as the virtual gift, and in this way, the virtual icon may be an icon in which the shape picture or model of the virtual gift is reduced (or compressed, and the degree of reduction may not be limited); or the virtual icon may be an icon displayed with a designated transparency and having the same appearance as the virtual gift, and optionally, a specific value of the designated transparency may not be limited, for example, the designated transparency may be 50%.

As one way, selection buttons (button) may be configured for virtual icons corresponding to the respective virtual gifts in the gift bar, and each selection button may be triggered by a selected (e.g., selectable in various ways such as clicking, touching, or pressing) event (checkBox). Optionally, if it is detected that the virtual gift is selected, a virtual icon corresponding to the virtual gift may be displayed. For example, in a specific application scenario, as shown in fig. 6, if it is detected that the virtual gift 1031 in the virtual gift bar 103 is selected, a virtual icon corresponding to the virtual gift 1031 may be displayed, and the virtual gift 1031 is in a selected state at this moment.

Step S220: and acquiring display position coordinates corresponding to the virtual icons.

In this embodiment, the display position of the virtual icon may be acquired in various ways. Alternatively, the display position may be understood as a position at which the virtual gift is determined to be sent out.

As one way, as shown in fig. 7, step S220 may include:

step S221: responding to the drag operation acting on the virtual icon.

Optionally, the virtual icon corresponding to the selected virtual gift may be dragged in a dragging manner, and in this manner, the position where the virtual icon finally stays may be used as the display position of the virtual icon. Specifically, the virtual icon can flexibly follow the gesture (or finger) of the user to synchronously move in response to the dragging operation acting on the virtual icon.

Step S222: and acquiring the position coordinate of the sliding of the end of the dragging operation, and taking the position coordinate as the display position coordinate corresponding to the virtual icon.

Optionally, the position where the virtual icon is located when the user releases his hand may be used as the position where the drag operation ends sliding, so that the position where the drag operation ends sliding may be used as the display position of the virtual icon, and the coordinate corresponding to the position where the drag operation ends sliding may be used as the display position coordinate corresponding to the virtual icon.

It is understood that the display interface 101 of the electronic device 100 may be preconfigured with different densities of location coordinates, so that there is a corresponding location coordinate at any location where the user's gesture moves to the display interface 101 of the electronic device 100. As one implementation, a position coordinate at which the drag operation ends sliding may be acquired, and the position coordinate may be used as a display position coordinate corresponding to the virtual icon.

For example, in a specific application scenario, as shown in fig. 6, assuming that the selected virtual gift is the virtual gift 1031, and the position coordinate of the drag operation end slide corresponding to the virtual icon of the acquired virtual gift 1031 is the position coordinate corresponding to the display position 104, the position coordinate may be taken as the display position coordinate corresponding to the virtual icon of the virtual gift 1031.

Alternatively, a plurality of selectable display positions may be configured for each virtual gift in the gift bar 103, and after clicking a virtual icon of a virtual gift, a plurality of display positions for displaying the rendering special effect of the virtual gift may pop up at a preset position of the display interface of the electronic device 100 for the user to select. And each display position is bound with a coordinate corresponding to the display interface of the electronic equipment. For example, assuming that the display position is "the center of the screen", the corresponding display coordinate may be "(10, 10)", optionally, the numerical value of the position coordinate here is merely an example, and different settings may be performed according to the size and the scale of the display interface of the electronic device in specific implementation, which is not limited herein.

In this manner, as shown in fig. 8, assuming that the clicked virtual icon is a virtual icon of the virtual gift 1031, the pop-up selectable display positions include a display position a, a display position B, a display position C, a display position D, a display position E, and a display position F, and optionally, the display position a, the display position B, the display position C, the display position D, the display position E, and the display position F correspond to different position coordinates. As one way, the display position selected by the user may be taken as the display position of the virtual icon of the virtual gift 1031, and the coordinate corresponding to the display position may be taken as the display position coordinate corresponding to the virtual icon of the virtual gift 1031. For example, assuming that the selected display position is "display position C", the display position C may be taken as the display position of the virtual icon corresponding to the virtual gift 1031, and the coordinate corresponding to the display position C may be taken as the display position coordinate corresponding to the virtual icon of the virtual gift 1031.

Step S230: and judging whether the display position coordinate is in a preset area range.

The preset area range in this embodiment may be a position outside the position area range of the gift certificate 103 and inside the position area range of the display interface 101.

As one way, after the display position coordinates corresponding to the virtual icons of the virtual gifts are acquired, it may be determined whether the display position coordinates are within a preset area range so as to determine whether the current virtual gifts are presented successfully. Optionally, if the display position coordinate is within the preset area range, it may be determined that the virtual gift is presented successfully; and if the display position coordinate is not within the preset area range, the virtual gift presentation failure can be judged.

Optionally, the display position coordinate may be compared with a position coordinate within a preset region range, and if a position coordinate identical to the display position coordinate exists within the preset region range, or the display position coordinate is located within the position coordinate range of the preset region range, it may be determined that the display position coordinate is within the preset region range.

It should be noted that, in order to ensure the accuracy of the acquired display position coordinates, in the present embodiment, before acquiring the position coordinates where the drag operation ends sliding, in the process of the drag operation, it may be determined whether the drag operation meets a preset cancel condition. Optionally, if it is detected that the drag operation meets the preset cancel condition, the obtaining of the position where the drag operation ends sliding may be cancelled.

Wherein, the preset cancellation condition at least includes: dragging and sliding down the virtual icon when dragging the virtual icon to the edge of the preset area range; or a popup window causes dragging and sliding in the sliding process of dragging the virtual icon; or the dragging and sliding are caused by the telephone access in the sliding process of the dragging virtual icon; or the current user account is repeatedly logged in to cause dragging and slipping. It can be understood that if the virtual icon is dragged to the edge of the preset area range by mistake in the dragging operation process to cause dragging and sliding, the virtual gift presentation failure can be judged; if a message or a popup such as an alarm clock causes dragging and sliding in the sliding process of dragging the virtual icon, the virtual gift presentation failure can be judged; or if the dragging is caused by telephone intervention in the dragging process and the dragging slips, the virtual gift giving failure can be judged; optionally, if the current user account is repeatedly logged in by other devices during the operation of dragging the virtual icon, it may be determined that the current virtual gift presentation fails. Optionally, the preset cancellation condition may further include more or fewer combinations of conditions suggested by the above conditions, or a condition that the drag abnormally slides down during the drag operation is met, which is not illustrated herein, and is not taken as a limitation to the present solution.

Step S240: and taking the virtual gift as a target virtual gift, and taking the position represented by the display position coordinates as a display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

In this way, the virtual gift may be used as the target virtual gift, and the position represented by the display position coordinate may be used as the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift, that is, the position represented by the display position coordinate may be used as the position where the target virtual gift is determined to be sent out.

For example, as shown in fig. 6, if the position coordinates corresponding to the display position 104 are within the preset area range, the selected virtual gift 1031 may be taken as the target virtual gift, and the display position 104 may be taken as the display position corresponding to the virtual gift 1031 (i.e., the target virtual gift).

Alternatively, if the display position coordinates are not within the preset area range, for example, the display position coordinates are within the gift certificate 103, it may be determined that the virtual gift presentation has failed, and the gift presentation may be ended. It should be noted that, in some possible embodiments, if the display position coordinates are not within the preset area range, the virtual gift may be presented according to a gift-presenting position pre-configured in the gift-presenting template, in this manner, the selected virtual gift may be used as the target virtual gift, and a pre-configured gift-effect display position (for example, may be the center of the display interface 101 of the electronic device) may be used as a display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

Step S250: generating a comp notification message including the target virtual gift and the display location.

Step S260: sending the comp notification message to a second client for the second client to display the target virtual gift at the display location with a corresponding rendering effect.

In the method for displaying the special effect of the virtual gift provided by the embodiment, by judging whether the display position coordinate is in the preset area range, and under the condition that the display position coordinate is judged to be in the preset area range, the virtual gift is taken as the target virtual gift, and the position represented by the display position coordinate is taken as the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift, the presenting interest of the virtual gift is increased. By generating the presentation notification message, the target virtual gift can be flexibly displayed at different display positions with corresponding rendering special effects, the interestingness of virtual gift presentation is further improved, and meanwhile user interaction experience is improved.

Referring to fig. 9, a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to another embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment provides a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, which is applicable to a first client, and the method includes:

step S310: and if the virtual gift is detected to be selected, displaying a virtual icon corresponding to the virtual gift.

Step S320: and acquiring display position coordinates corresponding to the virtual icons.

Step S330: and judging whether the display position coordinate is in a preset area range.

Step S340: and taking the virtual gift as a target virtual gift, and taking the position represented by the display position coordinates as a display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

Step S350: and acquiring a presenting user identifier and an anchor user identifier corresponding to the target virtual gift.

Optionally, after obtaining the target virtual gift, the first client may obtain a presenting user identifier and an anchor user identifier corresponding to the target virtual gift. The anchor user identifier may be an ID of an anchor user currently in live broadcasting, and the ID may be used to uniquely distinguish the anchor user, and anchor user identifiers of different anchor users are different. The gifting user identification is an account identification of a user account that is currently ready to gift the anchor virtual gift.

Step S360: and acquiring virtual gift identifications and the number corresponding to the target virtual gift.

Optionally, the virtual gift identifiers and the number corresponding to the target virtual gift may be obtained, so as to display the corresponding special effects according to the virtual gift identifiers and the number. In this embodiment, the rendering special effects of different virtual gifts are different, and the rendering special effects of different numbers of virtual gifts of the same type are different. For example, the rendered special effect of 5 virtual gifts a may be more noticeable than the rendered special effect of 1 virtual gift a. Optionally, the greater the number of virtual gifts, the more obvious the rendering effect of the virtual gifts may be.

Step S370: generating a presentation notification message including the display location coordinates, the presentation user identifier, the anchor user identifier, the virtual gift, and the quantity.

Optionally, a presentation notification message including the display position coordinates, the presentation user identifier, the anchor user identifier, the virtual gift, and the number may be generated so that the presenter and the receiver of the virtual gift can be accurately distinguished by displaying the content corresponding to the presentation notification message. For example, in a specific application scenario, it is assumed that a user a likes a certain anchor W and a user B is a friend of the user a, if the user a gives a virtual gift of the anchor W in the process of watching the live broadcast of the anchor W, and if the user B is also in the live broadcast room of the anchor W, the user B can know the interests of the friend user a, so that the gift-sending interests of the user B can be increased, and the remaining duration of the user is prolonged.

Step S380: sending the comp notification message to a second client for the second client to display the target virtual gift at the display location with a corresponding rendering effect.

According to the method for displaying the special effect of the virtual gift, the presenting notification message comprising the display position coordinate, the presenting user identifier, the anchor user identifier, the virtual gift and the number is generated, so that when the target virtual gift is displayed at the display position with the corresponding rendering special effect, the display effect is more obvious, and the watching retention rate and the watching duration of the user in the live broadcasting process are improved.

Referring to fig. 10, a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to still another embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment provides a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, which is applicable to a first client, and the method includes:

step S410: the first client obtains a target virtual gift.

Step S420: and acquiring a display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

Step S430: displaying the target virtual gift at the display position with a corresponding rendered special effect.

In one approach, after obtaining the target virtual gift and the display location corresponding to the target virtual gift, the first client may display the target virtual gift at the display location with the corresponding rendering effect.

For example, in a specific application scenario, as shown in fig. 11, assuming that the target virtual gift is 1031 and the display position is 104, the target virtual gift 1031 may be displayed at the display position 104. The rendering special effect form of the target virtual gift may not be limited, and may be, for example, "explosive picture", "dynamic picture", "three-dimensional effect picture", and the like.

As a manner, if the first client converts the screen of the electronic device from the portrait mode to the landscape mode at the moment of sending out the target virtual gift, the target virtual gift may be displayed at the display position in the landscape mode with the corresponding rendering special effect. For example, when the electronic device is switched from the portrait mode shown in fig. 11 to the landscape mode shown in fig. 12, the display positions of the main broadcast screen 102, the gift certificate 103, and the virtual gift in the gift certificate 103 and the display position 104 can be adaptively switched. In fig. 11, it is assumed that the display position coordinates corresponding to the display position 104 are (a, b), where a may represent a distance from the display position 104 to a left edge of the screen display interface of the electronic device 100 in the vertical screen mode, and b may represent a distance from the display position 104 to an upper edge of the screen display interface of the electronic device 100 in the vertical screen mode. When the electronic device is converted from the portrait mode shown in fig. 11 to the landscape mode shown in fig. 12, a in the display position coordinates (a, b) corresponding to the display position 104 may represent a distance from the display position 104 to a lower edge of the screen display interface of the electronic device 100 in the landscape mode, and b may represent a distance from the display position 104 to a left edge of the screen display interface of the electronic device 100 in the landscape mode.

Optionally, after the user displays the target virtual gift at a certain display position with the corresponding rendering effect, the target virtual gift is successfully sent out in the present giving process, and in this way, the display position may be bound to the current user account, for example, the display position may be bound to the currently logged-in user account identifier. When the user presents the target virtual gift again (including presenting to the current anchor user or presenting to another anchor user), it may be detected whether a historical presentation record corresponding to the bound display location exists in the presentation records of the user account. Optionally, if a historical gift-offering record corresponding to the bound display position exists in the gift-offering record of the current user account, if the virtual gift to be presented currently selected by the user is the target virtual gift, the target virtual gift may be displayed at the display position with a corresponding rendering special effect directly according to the historical gift-offering record.

It is understood that if it is detected that the update instruction corresponding to the display position exists, the second display position corresponding to the target virtual gift may be acquired. The second display position can be any position within the range of the preset area. In this manner, the target virtual gift may be displayed at the second display location with the corresponding rendered special effect.

For example, in a specific application scenario, as shown in fig. 13, if the historical gifting record stores that the virtual gift 1031 is delivered at the display position 104 shown in fig. 11, and if it is detected that the new display position 105 is selected when the user gifts the virtual gift 1031 again, the target virtual gift may be displayed at the new display position (i.e., the second display position) 105 with the corresponding rendering effect. Wherein the second display position may be obtained by re-dragging the virtual icon corresponding to the virtual gift 1031 to the new display position 105; the second display position may also be reselected by means of a button selection.

Optionally, if the existence of the update instruction corresponding to the display position in the historical gifting record is not detected, in the process that the user carries out gifting in a dragging mode, the sliding stop position of the virtual icon can be detected in real time, and then the stop time at the stop position is obtained. Wherein the second dwell time period is greater than the first dwell time period. As a mode, if the staying position changes after the staying time reaches the first preset time, the changed staying position may be used as the updated to-be-processed display position. Optionally, if the updated to-be-processed display position reaches a second preset time length, the updated to-be-processed position may be used as the second display position of the target virtual gift.

For example, in a specific application scenario, assuming that a user drags a virtual icon corresponding to a virtual gift 1031 to a display position 104 shown in fig. 11 for 3 seconds by dragging the virtual gift, and drags the virtual icon to a display position 105 shown in fig. 13 for 5 seconds, where 3 seconds may be a first preset time duration and 5 seconds may be a second preset time duration, the display position 105 shown in fig. 13 may be taken as a second display position corresponding to a target virtual gift (i.e., the virtual gift 1031).

Step S440: generating a comp notification message including the target virtual gift and the display location.

Step S450: sending the comp notification message to a second client for the second client to display the target virtual gift at the display location with a corresponding rendering effect.

According to the method for displaying the virtual gift special effect, the target virtual gift is displayed at the display position through the corresponding rendering special effect of the first client, so that the user can more intuitively see the virtual special effect of the virtual gift, the gift sending interactive experience in the gift sending process of the user is improved, and the interestingness of virtual gift giving is further improved. Meanwhile, the target virtual gift can be flexibly displayed at different display positions in a corresponding rendering special effect mode, the special effect of the target virtual gift is not limited to be displayed at a fixed display position, and the interestingness of the virtual gift in presenting is further improved.

Referring to fig. 14, a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to still another embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment provides a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, which is applicable to a first client, and the method includes:

step S510: the first client obtains a target virtual gift.

Step S520: and acquiring a display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

Step S530: a designated virtual gift associated with the display position is obtained.

In this embodiment, different display positions may be configured to associate different designated virtual gifts. For example, the designated virtual gifts associated with display position a, display position B, and display position C may be virtual gift 1, virtual gift 2, and virtual gift 3, respectively. Alternatively, in some embodiments, the same display location may be associated with a plurality of different designated virtual gifts. The display position in this embodiment may be used to display the associated specified virtual gift with the corresponding rendering effect.

As one way, the display location and the specified virtual gift may be mapped and stored in the first client in a form of a table, or stored locally, so that the specified virtual gift associated with the display location may be obtained through the table.

Step S540: determining whether the target virtual gift is the same as the designated virtual gift.

Alternatively, whether the target virtual gift is identical to the designated virtual gift may be determined by comparing the identification of the target virtual gift with the identification of the designated virtual gift. Optionally, if the identifier of the target virtual gift is the same as the identifier of the designated virtual gift, it may be determined that the target virtual gift and the designated virtual gift are the same virtual gift; if the identification of the target virtual gift is not the same as the identification of the designated virtual gift, then the target virtual gift and the designated virtual gift may be determined to be different virtual gifts.

Step S551: executing the displaying of the target virtual gift with a corresponding rendered special effect at the display position.

As one approach, if the target virtual gift is the same as the specified virtual gift, the target virtual gift may be displayed at the display position with the corresponding rendering effect.

Step S552: generating a comp notification message including the target virtual gift and the display location.

Step S553: sending the comp notification message to a second client for the second client to display the target virtual gift at the display location with a corresponding rendering effect.

Step S560: canceling the execution of the displaying of the target virtual gift with the corresponding rendered special effect at the display position.

Alternatively, if the target virtual gift is not the same as the specified virtual gift, the display of the target virtual gift at the display position with the corresponding rendering effect may be cancelled.

For example, in a specific application scenario, as shown in fig. 15, assuming that the target virtual gift is a virtual gift 1031, if the obtained specified virtual gift associated with the display position 104 is the virtual gift 1031, the target virtual gift may be displayed at the display position with a corresponding rendering effect. If the retrieved designated virtual gift associated with the display position 104 is the virtual gift 1032, the target virtual gift will not be displayed at the display position with the corresponding rendering effect. Alternatively, in this manner, if the display position 104 is selected for presenting the virtual gift 1032, a pop-up message indicating that the gift delivery failed may pop up.

In the method for displaying the special effect of the virtual gift provided by the embodiment, the display position is associated with the specified virtual gift, so that the user can display the virtual gift at the display position with the corresponding rendering special effect if the user selects the association between the virtual gift sent out at the display position and the specified virtual gift in the process of presenting the virtual gift, thereby increasing the user interaction experience in the process of presenting the virtual gift and simultaneously improving the interestingness in the process of presenting the virtual gift.

Referring to fig. 16, a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to still another embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment provides a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, which is applicable to a first client, and the method includes:

step S610: the first client obtains a target virtual gift.

Step S620: and acquiring a display position corresponding to the target virtual gift.

Step S630: a designated gifting location associated with the target virtual gift is obtained.

In this embodiment, the associated designated gifting positions may be configured in advance for different virtual gifts. Alternatively, the designated presentation locations with which different virtual gifts are associated may be different, for example, the designated presentation locations with which virtual gifts 1, 2, and 3 may be associated may be a presentation location a, a presentation location b, and a presentation location c, respectively. Alternatively, in some possible embodiments, the same virtual gift may include multiple associated designated comp locations. The designated comp location in this embodiment may be used to display the target virtual gift with the corresponding rendered special effect.

As one approach, the virtual gift may be mapped with the designated presentation location and stored in the first client in a form of a table, or stored locally, so that the designated presentation location associated with the target virtual gift can be obtained through the table.

Step S640: determining whether the presentation location is the same as the designated presentation location.

Optionally, when a virtual gift is dragged to a certain position to be sent out, it may be determined whether the presentation position is the same as the designated presentation position corresponding to the virtual gift, and optionally, if the presentation position is the same as the designated presentation position, the presentation of the virtual gift may be completed at the presentation position; if the presentation location is different from the designated presentation location, a pop-up prompt message indicating that the gift delivery failed may be displayed.

Or, when a display position is selected for a virtual gift, it may be determined whether the selected display position is the same as the designated presentation position associated with the virtual gift. Optionally, if the selected display location is the same as the designated presentation location associated with the virtual gift, presentation of the virtual gift may be completed at the selected presentation location; if the selected display location is not the same as the designated presentation location associated with the virtual gift, a pop-up message indicating a failed gift presentation may be displayed.

As one way, whether the presentation position is the same as the designated presentation position may be determined by determining whether the coordinates of the presentation position are the same as the coordinates of the designated presentation position. Optionally, if the coordinates of the presenting location are the same as the coordinates of the designated presenting location, it may be determined that the presenting location is the same as the designated presenting location; if the coordinates of the present location are not the same as the coordinates of the designated present location, then it can be determined that the present location is not the same as the designated present location.

Step S651: executing the displaying of the target virtual gift with a corresponding rendered special effect at the display position.

As one approach, if the gift location is the same as the designated gift location, the step of displaying the target virtual gift at a display location with a corresponding rendering effect may be performed.

Step S652: generating a comp notification message including the target virtual gift and the display location.

Step S653: sending the comp notification message to a second client for the second client to display the target virtual gift at the display location with a corresponding rendering effect.

Step S660: canceling the execution of the displaying of the target virtual gift with the corresponding rendered special effect at the display position.

As one approach, if the gifting location is not the same as the designated gifting location, the step of displaying the target virtual gift at the display location with the corresponding rendered special effect may be eliminated.

For example, in a specific application scenario, as shown in fig. 17, assuming that the virtual gift 1032 is selected as the target virtual gift, in the process of sending out the virtual icon of the virtual gift 1032 by dragging, if the virtual icon of the virtual gift 1032 is dragged to the display position 104 shown in fig. 17, and if the display position 104 is a designated giving position associated with the virtual gift 1032, the virtual gift 1032 may be displayed at the display position 104 with a corresponding rendering effect. If the display position 104 is not the designated gift position associated with the virtual gift 1032, the virtual gift 1032 will not be displayed at the display position 104 with the corresponding rendering effect, for example, if the icon of the virtual gift 1031 is dragged to the display position 104 for sending, a popup prompt message indicating that the gift sending has failed will be displayed.

In the method for displaying the special effect of the virtual gift provided by the embodiment, the virtual gift is associated with the designated presenting position, so that when the user selects the position for presenting the virtual gift to be the same as the designated presenting position associated with the virtual gift in the process of presenting the virtual gift, the virtual gift can be successfully sent out, and the virtual gift can be displayed at the designated presenting position with the corresponding rendering special effect. The difficulty degree of giving the virtual gifts is increased, and the gift giving desire and the gift giving interest of the user are improved.

Referring to fig. 18, a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to still another embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment provides a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, which is applicable to a second client, and the method includes:

step S710: the second client receives a comp notification message.

In this embodiment, the second client may receive the gifting notification message sent by the server, so as to parse the virtual gift gifting information of the first client from the gifting notification message.

Step S720: and acquiring the target virtual gift and the display position of the target virtual gift from the presentation notification message.

As one way, the target virtual gift and the display position of the target virtual gift may be acquired from the presentation notification message. Alternatively, the target virtual gift may be obtained by identifying the virtual gift identification in the comp notification message. Wherein the display position is a position at which the target virtual gift is determined to be delivered.

Step S730: displaying the target virtual gift at the display position with a corresponding rendered special effect.

Optionally, the second client may display the target virtual gift at the display position with the corresponding rendering special effect, so that when the first client presents the virtual gift, the second client may see presentation information of the message gift in real time, where the presentation information may include information of the presenter, and the type and number of the presented virtual gift. Optionally, the second client may include a plurality of clients, in which case each second client may display the target virtual gift at the display location with a corresponding rendered special effect. In the foregoing embodiment, as for the display manner in which the second client displays the target virtual gift at the display position with the corresponding rendering special effect, reference may be made to the display manner in which the first client displays the target virtual gift at the display position with the corresponding rendering special effect, which is not described herein again.

In the method for displaying the special effect of the virtual gift provided by the embodiment, the second client receives the presentation notification message, then obtains the target virtual gift and the display position of the target virtual gift from the presentation notification message, and then displays the target virtual gift at the display position with the corresponding rendering special effect. Therefore, the second client can display the target virtual gift at the display position corresponding to the target virtual gift in the corresponding rendering special effect manner, the special effect of the target virtual gift is not limited to be displayed at the fixed display position, the interestingness of the virtual gift in presentation is improved, and the interactive experience of the user in presentation is improved.

Referring to fig. 19, a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift according to still another embodiment of the present application is shown, where the embodiment provides a method for displaying a special effect of a virtual gift, which is applicable to a virtual gift special effect display system, where the virtual gift special effect display system includes a first client and a second client, and the method includes:
