Wherein, this wireless network includes: WIFI and other networks that enable wireless communication. Such wired networks may include, but are not limited to: wide area networks, metropolitan area networks, and local area networks. The server 112 may include, but is not limited to, any hardware device capable of performing computations.

Optionally, as an optional implementation manner, as shown in fig. 3, the method for displaying a virtual article includes:

s302, in the process that the client runs the virtual scene, responding to an information display instruction, and displaying a target item list on a display interface of the client, wherein virtual items in the target item list are in a state to be picked up;

s304, displaying an item icon of the virtual item and an occupation prompt icon corresponding to the virtual item in the target item list, wherein the occupation prompt icon is used for indicating the shape of the space occupied by the virtual item in the item management interface.

Optionally, the display method of the virtual article can be applied to games, or virtual training or virtual shopping.

Taking a game as an example, the game may be a Three dimensional (3D) game.

Taking a three-dimensional game as an example, a client can run a virtual scene of the three-dimensional game, and a user controls virtual characters in the virtual scene to play the game through interaction with the client. The virtual object may be a prop used by a game such as ammunition or firearms scattered in a virtual scene, and the virtual object may be a prop object to be picked up and may be picked up in a prop storage space of a virtual character, such as a backpack. Under the condition that the client receives the information display instruction, a target item list can be displayed on the display interface, one or more virtual items are displayed in the target item list, and the virtual items can be picked up to the backpack of the virtual character through interaction with the virtual items in the target item list. The user can determine whether to pick up the virtual article according to the occupation prompt icon displayed by the client, and the occupation prompt icon displayed by the client displays the shape of the space occupied by the virtual article if the virtual article is picked up in the backpack. The backpack may be displayed via an item management interface. The item management interface may display the virtual items in the backpack and the shape of the space occupied by each virtual item, and may also display the occupied space and the remaining space of the backpack.

Taking virtual shopping as an example, when a user moves shopping in a virtual space, a client displays a scene in the virtual space and a virtual character corresponding to the user. The virtual item may be a commodity. And the user buys commodities to the storage space, and after the client receives the information display instruction, the shape of the space occupied by the virtual article is displayed so that the user can conveniently select whether to buyback.

Optionally, the virtual object in the present application may be a specific object among all objects in the virtual scene. For example, a selected item may be selected for the user, and the user may select a virtual item from the candidate virtual items during the process of running the virtual scene using the client, and then the client may display an occupancy prompt icon for the virtual item. The virtual object may be an object that is close to the virtual character, for example, in the virtual scene, an object that is within a range of 5 meters from the virtual character among the candidate virtual objects is used as the virtual object. The candidate virtual items in the present application may be items scattered in the virtual scene and capable of being picked up, and the virtual items may be items determined to be in the target item list in the candidate virtual items as virtual items to be picked up. That is to say, there are candidate virtual articles in the virtual scene, the candidate virtual articles may be added to the target article list as virtual articles if they are to be picked up, and the article icon and the occupation prompt icon are displayed in the target article list on the display interface. The occupation prompt icon in the application can be an image, and the image can display the shape of the space of the article management interface occupied by the virtual article.

There are various ways to select a virtual item from the candidate virtual items.

A user may select a single candidate virtual item via an input device, and the selected candidate virtual item may be the virtual item to be displayed. For example, as shown in fig. 4, the virtual scene includes three candidate virtual objects scattered on the ground, which are an item 402, an item 404, and an item 406, and the user may select one or more of the candidate virtual objects, and if the item 406 is clicked, determine the item 406 as a virtual object to be displayed, determine the virtual object to be displayed in the target object list, generate an information display instruction, display the target object list, and display an object icon and an occupation prompt icon of the item 406 in the target object list.

Or the virtual article to be displayed may be selected by the user through executing a first predetermined operation trigger, for example, if a certain key on the display screen is clicked, all candidate virtual articles within a certain range of the virtual character may be used as the virtual article to be displayed, and the occupation prompt icon of the virtual article is displayed. The first predetermined operation may be a click of a button, a sliding of a screen, a double-click of a screen, or the like. For example, as shown in fig. 5, there are prop 502, prop 504, and prop 506 scattered on the ground in the virtual scene, the distance between

props

504 and 506 and the virtual character is less than a first threshold, and the distance between prop 502 and the virtual character is greater than the first threshold. When a first predetermined operation, such as a screen sliding operation, is received, the prop 504 and the prop 506 are determined as virtual articles to be displayed, and an occupation prompt icon of the virtual article is displayed in the target display list.

The virtual object to be displayed can be selected by directly detecting the distance between the virtual character in the virtual scene and the candidate virtual object in the virtual scene, if the distance is smaller than a first threshold value, directly and automatically determining a second object, the distance between which and the virtual character is smaller than the first threshold value, as the virtual object to be displayed, and generating an information display instruction. That is to say, when the virtual character moves in the virtual scene, the distances to all the nearby candidate virtual articles may be measured, if the distance between any at least one candidate virtual article and the virtual character is smaller than the first threshold, the candidate virtual article is determined as the virtual article to be displayed, the article icon and the occupation prompt icon of the virtual article to be displayed are displayed, and if the distance between the article and the virtual character is greater than or equal to the first threshold, the article icon and the occupation prompt icon are not displayed any more. For example, as shown in fig. 6, the distances between the virtual character and the three second objects in the virtual scene are distance 602, distance 604, and distance 606, respectively, and the distances 602 to 606 may change during the movement of the virtual character. When any one of the distance 602 to the distance 606 is smaller than the first threshold, automatically determining the corresponding candidate virtual article as the virtual article to be displayed, generating an information display instruction, and displaying an article icon and an occupation prompt icon of the virtual article to be displayed. The step can ensure that the virtual object to be picked up is automatically and flexibly determined according to the distance between the candidate virtual object and the virtual character in the virtual scene and displayed without the operation of a user in the process of moving the virtual character in the virtual scene.

When the virtual object to be displayed is selected, a button may be further allocated to a plurality of adjacent candidate virtual objects in the virtual scene, for example, in the virtual scene, the plurality of candidate virtual objects are scattered at one place, the distance between the plurality of candidate virtual objects is smaller than a second threshold value, a state of "piled together" or "not far apart" is presented, when the virtual character moves to the vicinity of the plurality of candidate virtual objects, a trigger button may be displayed on the display interface of the client, and when an operation performed on the trigger button is received, an information display instruction may be generated, the plurality of candidate virtual objects are taken as the virtual object to be displayed, and an occupation prompt icon is displayed. The trigger button may be displayed in the center of the display interface, or on the display interface, near the plurality of candidate virtual items, or at the collimation center of the aiming, or on both sides of the display interface. For example, as shown in fig. 7, there are multiple candidate virtual items 702 in the virtual scene in fig. 7, when the virtual character approaches the multiple candidate virtual items 702, one button 704 may be displayed near the multiple candidate virtual items 702 on the display interface, and if the user clicks the button 704 using a hand 706 or other tool, an information display instruction may be generated to display icons of the multiple candidate virtual items 702 and an occupancy prompt icon.

Alternatively, when the item icon and the occupancy icon of the virtual item to be displayed are displayed, it may be determined whether the virtual item to be displayed can be loaded into the storage space of the item management interface. If the virtual goods to be displayed cannot be stored in the remaining space of the storage space, the occupation prompt icon of the virtual goods to be displayed can display a second display state. And if the remaining space of the storage space can be filled with the virtual articles to be displayed, the occupation prompt icon in the first display state can be displayed. The first display state and the second display state in this application may be different colors, or whether there is an additional mark, for example, the first display state may be black, the second display state may be red, or the second display state is a mark showing an exclamation point, which indicates that the virtual item to be displayed in the first state cannot be picked up in the backpack. The first display state is that no additional logo is displayed.

For example, taking the first display state and the second display state as different colors as an example, as shown in fig. 8, when the target list 802 is displayed in fig. 8, three icons of the virtual objects to be displayed and three occupancy prompt icons are displayed in the target list, and the three occupancy prompt icons are the occupancy prompt icon 804, the occupancy prompt icon 806, and the occupancy prompt icon 808. The occupancy prompt icon 804 is in a first display state and indicates that the corresponding virtual item to be displayed can be picked up into the backpack, and the occupancy prompt icon 806 and the occupancy prompt icon 808 are in a second display state and are used for indicating that the corresponding item is too large to be picked up into the backpack.

When receiving an instruction of a user to pick up a virtual article to be displayed, if the storage space can not store the virtual article to be displayed which the user wishes to pick up, a prompt message is displayed to prompt the user that the storage space is full and the virtual article to be displayed can not be picked up any more. For example, as shown in fig. 9, when the user wishes to pick up an item 904, the occupancy alert icon 906 for the item in the target list is in the second display state, indicating that the item cannot be picked up in a backpack and that the backpack cannot be placed, and therefore, an alert message 902 is displayed to alert the user that the backpack is full.

If there are a plurality of virtual articles to be displayed in the process of displaying the occupation prompt icons of the virtual articles to be displayed, the icons of the virtual articles to be displayed and the occupation prompt icons may be arranged and displayed in the displayed target list. In the application, the area in the target list can be divided into a plurality of areas, and each area displays an article icon and an occupation prompt icon of a virtual article to be displayed. When the item icon and the occupancy promotion icon are displayed, the name of the virtual item to be displayed may also be displayed. For example, as shown in fig. 10, three item icons 1004 and three item occupation prompt icons 1006 are displayed in the target list 1002, and three item names 1008 are also displayed.

Optionally, the candidate virtual item in the virtual scene in the application may further include other items, for example, if the candidate virtual item is a treasure box, the treasure box may be picked up, and the treasure box may further include other props and the like. Therefore, the application can also provide a search button for the treasure box when the target list is displayed. As shown in fig. 11, while the name, identifier and occupation prompt icons of the treasure box are displayed in the target list in fig. 11, a button 1102 may be further configured to search for the articles in the treasure box, and when the button 1102 is clicked, the article map icon and the occupation prompt icon of the articles in the treasure box may be displayed in the target list.

Optionally, in this application, when there are a plurality of virtual articles to be displayed, when displaying icons and occupancy prompt icons of the plurality of virtual articles to be displayed, if the target list is not enough to display the article icons and the occupancy prompt icons of all the virtual articles to be displayed, the article icons and the occupancy prompt icons of the plurality of virtual articles to be displayed are displayed using one sliding list, and the sliding list may be slid up or down by receiving a sliding operation performed by a user, so as to display the article icons and the occupancy prompt icons of all the virtual articles to be displayed. For example, as shown in fig. 12, the sliding list 1202 in fig. 12 may slide up and down according to the instruction, so that icons and occupancy prompt icons and names of all virtual objects to be displayed may be displayed.

The occupation prompt icon in the application can be a grid combined graph corresponding to the shape of the space occupied by the virtual article. The number of the squares of the square combined graph in the horizontal direction is used for indicating the number of the squares occupied by the virtual article in the horizontal direction when the virtual article is stored on the article management interface, and the number of the squares of the square combined graph in the vertical direction is used for indicating the number of the squares occupied by the virtual article in the vertical direction when the virtual article is stored on the article management interface. For example, 3 squares in the horizontal direction and 4 squares in the vertical direction, the virtual object occupies 12 squares. Of course, the footprint of the virtual object may be irregular. For example, as shown in FIG. 13, examples of various occupancy alert icons are included in FIG. 13. The example in fig. 13 represents only a partial example, and the present application does not exemplify any more.

When the client displays the target item list and displays the occupation prompt icon in the target item list, the user can select whether to pick up the virtual item to be displayed according to the actual situation. The client receives the pick-up instruction and then picks up the virtual item to be displayed into the storage space of the virtual character of the client, such as a backpack. The picked up virtual item to be displayed is no longer displayed in the virtual scene but is located in the virtual character's backpack. The virtual item may be viewed through an item management interface.

The client can display the article management interface on the display interface by receiving the opening instruction and the closing instruction. For example, as shown in fig. 14 and 15, fig. 14 is a schematic view of a hidden item management interface, which may be displayed through a button 1402. FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing an item management interface. In fig. 15, some of the cells are already occupied and the remaining cells are vacant and available for storing props.

In the application, the logic of judging whether the remaining space of the storage space can accommodate the virtual article to be displayed is that, in the storage space, the space which is the same as the size and the volume of the occupied space of the virtual article to be displayed is determined as the current space, whether other articles exist in the current space is judged, if so, the virtual article to be displayed cannot be stored in the current space, the current space is moved, the judging step is executed again, the virtual article to be displayed can be stored in the current space until the current space in the storage space is determined, or after the storage space is traversed, no space can be used for storing the virtual article to be displayed. And determining that one current space exists in the storage space and can store the virtual article to be displayed, and indicating that the storage space meets the storage condition of the virtual article to be displayed. If the storage space has no space for storing the virtual articles to be displayed, the storage space does not meet the storage condition of the virtual articles to be displayed.

In the application, an article and occupied space configuration table can be configured, and the shape of the storage space occupied by each article is recorded in the table. When the occupation prompt icon is displayed, the shape of the space occupied by the virtual object can be obtained by inquiring the mapping relation between the virtual object and the shape in the occupied hole house in the table, so that the occupation prompt icon is determined, and the occupation prompt icon is displayed.

The following description is made with reference to fig. 16 with reference to a specific example. For example, in the game process, a user controls a virtual character in a virtual scene of a client to play a game, the virtual scene includes a plurality of properties scattered everywhere, the virtual character carries a backpack (storage space), and the user can control the virtual character to pick up certain articles into the backpack.

First, in S1602, the client receives an information display instruction, for example, a user clicks a virtual button on a display interface of the client to trigger the information display instruction. And S1604, activating a pickup list by the client, wherein all the pickable props in a certain range of the virtual character are displayed in the list. And S1606, the client reads the item and occupied space configuration table, determines the shape of the occupied space of each prop, and obtains an occupied prompt icon which is displayed by combining and arranging a plurality of small cubes. Each small cube is 6 pixels long.

S1608, determining whether each prop can be installed by the backpack, if the remaining space of the backpack cannot install the next prop, S1610, displaying an occupation prompt icon of the prop in red, and if the remaining space of the backpack can install the next prop, S1612, displaying an occupation prompt icon of the prop in black. After the occupation prompt icons of the props and the props are displayed, a pickup instruction can be received, and one or more props are picked up into the backpack. The user can open the backpack or close the backpack by clicking a virtual button on the display interface.

Through the embodiment, by the method, when the virtual article in the virtual scene is displayed, the shape of the space occupied by the virtual article is displayed by the occupation prompt icon, so that the occupied space of the virtual article can be visually checked, and the display efficiency of the occupation prompt icon for displaying the virtual article is improved.

As an alternative embodiment, displaying the occupancy hint icon corresponding to the virtual item in the target item list includes:

displaying an occupation prompt icon in a first display state under the condition that the remaining storage space of the article management interface indicates that the storage condition of the virtual article is reached, wherein the first display state is used for indicating that the virtual article is allowed to be stored in the article management interface;

and under the condition that the indication of the residual storage space does not reach the storage condition of the virtual article, displaying an occupation prompt icon in a second display state, wherein the second display state is used for indicating that the virtual article is not allowed to be stored in the article management interface.

Optionally, the item management interface in the present application is an interface for managing virtual items. The virtual item may be transferred from the virtual scene into the storage space of the virtual character. The virtual item transferred into the storage space of the virtual character cannot be picked up by other virtual characters unless the user throws the virtual item from the storage space into the virtual scene. The article management interface may display a virtual article having a storage space, and may display an icon showing the virtual article. The article management interface also displays the shape and size of the storage space occupied by each virtual article, and the shape and size of the remaining storage space.

The description is made in conjunction with the above game scenario. In the process of the game, when the object icons and the occupation prompt icons of a plurality of virtual objects to be picked up in the virtual scene are displayed in the target object list, if the virtual object knapsack in the virtual scene can not load the virtual objects, the occupation prompt icon of the virtual objects is displayed in red, and if the virtual object knapsack can load the virtual objects to be picked up, the occupation prompt icon of the virtual objects can be displayed in black.

Or when the object icons and the occupation prompt icons of a plurality of virtual objects to be picked up in the virtual scene are displayed in the target object list, if the virtual object knapsack in the virtual scene can not load the virtual object, displaying an additional icon for prompting, and if the virtual object knapsack can load the virtual object to be picked up, not displaying the additional icon.

For example, as shown in fig. 17, when the target item list 1702 is displayed in fig. 17, if a virtual item cannot be loaded by a backpack of a virtual character, when an item icon and an occupation prompt icon are displayed in the target item list 1702, an identifier 1704, which may be an exclamation mark or the like, is additionally displayed, so as to prompt that the current virtual item cannot be stored in the storage space.

That is, in the present application, when the storage space can store the virtual item to be picked up and cannot store the virtual item to be picked up, the display states of the occupancy indication icons of the virtual item to be picked up are different. By the method, whether the virtual goods to be picked up can be loaded in the residual space of the backpack or not can be visually observed. Therefore, with the present embodiment, the display efficiency of the occupied space of the virtual item to be picked up can be improved.

and displaying a square grid combined graph corresponding to the shape of the space occupied by the virtual article in the occupation prompt icon, wherein the number of square grids of the square grid combined graph in the horizontal direction is used for indicating the number of square grids occupied by the virtual article in the horizontal direction when the virtual article is stored in the article management interface, and the number of square grids of the square grid combined graph in the vertical direction is used for indicating the number of square grids occupied by the virtual article in the vertical direction when the virtual article is stored in the article management interface.

The description is made in conjunction with the above game scenario. In the game process, when the target item list is displayed, an item icon and an occupancy prompt icon of a virtual item to be picked up are displayed in the target item list, and a figure in which the occupancy prompt icon is a combination of a plurality of squares may be displayed.
