Detailed Description

To make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings.

First, terms referred to in the embodiments of the present application are described:

virtual environment: is a virtual environment that is displayed (or provided) when an application is run on the terminal. The virtual environment may be a simulation environment of a real world, a semi-simulation semi-fictional environment, or a pure fictional environment. The virtual environment may be any one of a two-dimensional virtual environment, a 2.5-dimensional virtual environment, and a three-dimensional virtual environment, which is not limited in this application. The following embodiments are described taking as an example that the virtual environment is a three-dimensional virtual environment.

Virtual object: refers to a movable object in a virtual environment. The movable object can be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an animation character, etc., such as: characters and animals displayed in a three-dimensional virtual environment. Optionally, the virtual object is a three-dimensional volumetric model created based on animated skeletal techniques. Each virtual object has its own shape and volume in the three-dimensional virtual environment, occupying a portion of the space in the three-dimensional virtual environment.

Shooting game: including first person shooter games and third person shooter games. The first-person shooting game is a shooting game that a user can play at a first-person viewing angle, and a screen of a virtual environment in the game is a screen of a virtual environment observed at the viewing angle of a first virtual object. The third person named shooting game refers to shooting game played through a third person named angle of view, and the picture of the virtual environment in the game is a picture of the virtual environment observed through the third person named angle of view (for example, located behind the head of the first virtual object).

In the game, at least two virtual objects carry out a single-game fighting mode in a virtual environment, the virtual objects achieve the purpose of survival in the virtual environment by avoiding the injury initiated by other virtual objects and the danger (such as poison circle, marshland and the like) existing in the virtual environment, when the life value of the virtual objects in the virtual environment is zero, the life of the virtual objects in the virtual environment is ended, and finally the virtual objects which survive in the virtual environment are winners. Optionally, each client may control one or more virtual objects in the virtual environment, with the time when the first client joins the battle as a starting time and the time when the last client exits the battle as an ending time. Optionally, the competitive mode of the battle may include a single battle mode, a double group battle mode or a multi-person group battle mode, and the battle mode is not limited in the embodiment of the present application.

The virtual props are as follows: the item refers to an item that can be used by a virtual object in a virtual environment, and includes a virtual weapon that can change the attribute values of other virtual objects, a supply item such as a bullet, a defense item such as a shield, armor, or armored car, a virtual item that is displayed by a hand when a virtual object releases skills, such as a virtual beam or a virtual shock wave, and a part of the body trunk of the virtual object, such as a hand or a leg. The virtual props capable of changing attribute values of other virtual objects include remote virtual props such as handguns, rifles and sniper guns, close-range virtual props such as daggers, knives, swords and ropes, and throwing virtual props such as flyers, fly knives, grenades, flash bombs and smoke bombs.

The method provided in the present application may be applied to a virtual reality application program, a three-dimensional map program first/third person shooter game, a Multiplayer Online tactical sports game (MOBA), and the like, and the following embodiments are exemplified by applications in Games.

The game based on the virtual environment is often composed of one or more maps of game world, the virtual environment in the game simulates the scene of the real world, the user can control the virtual object in the game to walk, run, jump, shoot, fight, drive, switch to use the virtual prop, use the virtual prop to hurt other virtual objects and other actions in the virtual environment, the interactivity is strong, and a plurality of users can form a team on line to play a competitive game.

In general, before a virtual object enters a game, an initial virtual item is required to be equipped, where the initial virtual item is at least one virtual item already owned by the virtual object, and at the beginning of the game, a player can control the virtual object to attack (for example, use a virtual remote item) or defend (for example, use a virtual defender) using the equipped initial virtual item. In addition, in the process of game, a virtual item supply point can be automatically generated in the virtual environment, when the virtual object is located at the virtual item supply point, the initial virtual item can be replaced by a new virtual item, and the initial virtual item is lost (actively discarded) after replacement is completed. In addition, in the process of game-play, when a virtual object is defeated by other virtual objects, all the virtual equipment currently carried by the virtual object will be lost (passively discarded), and other virtual objects can selectively pick up and use the virtual equipment.

For the virtual prop lost in the game-play process, the virtual object can not be used continuously in the subsequent game-play. Under the mechanism of the lost virtual property, players tend to control the virtual objects to carry a small amount of virtual properties at the beginning of the game, thereby reducing the loss caused by the lost virtual properties. However, with the reduction of the number of the virtual objects carrying the virtual props, the fighting modes among the virtual objects are reduced, for example, when the virtual objects only carry the short-distance virtual props but do not carry the long-distance virtual props, the virtual objects can only carry out short-distance fighting, and the long-distance fighting cannot be carried out, so that the fighting efficiency among the virtual objects is influenced, and further, the duration of single-game fighting is longer, and a larger processing pressure is caused on a server.

In order to control the time length of the single office, and thus reduce the processing pressure of the server, the embodiment of the application introduces a ballast retrieving mechanism. The player can set the retrieving time for the virtual item in advance before the game is started. In the process of the game, if the virtual object loses the virtual prop which is set in advance and is found back, and the virtual prop meets the finding condition after the game is finished, the server can find back the virtual prop for the virtual object after the game is finished, so that the virtual object can use the virtual prop again in the subsequent game process. Under this stage property mechanism of finding back, because the virtual stage property through finding back the setting in advance still can be found back after losing, consequently the player more tends to carry abundant virtual stage property and carries out the match (and to carrying virtual stage property to find back the setting), helps richening the fight mode between the virtual object, improves match efficiency between the virtual object, and then control single match is long, reduces the processing pressure of server.

Please refer to fig. 2, which illustrates a flowchart of a method for processing loss of a virtual item according to an exemplary embodiment of the present application. In this embodiment, the method is exemplified as being used in the first terminal 110 or the second terminal 130 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1 or other terminals in the implementation environment, and the method includes the following steps:

step 201, displaying a retrieval setting interface, wherein the retrieval setting interface comprises at least one virtual item and at least two retrieval options, wherein different retrieval options correspond to different retrieval times.

The method is applied to a virtual environment, the virtual environment comprises a first virtual object and a second virtual object, and the first virtual object and the second virtual object belong to different camps. In one possible embodiment, the terminal displays the virtual environment through the virtual environment screen. Optionally, the virtual environment screen is a screen for observing the virtual environment from the viewpoint of the virtual object. The perspective refers to an observation angle when observing in the virtual environment at a first person perspective or a third person perspective of the virtual object. Optionally, in an embodiment of the present application, the viewing angle is an angle when a virtual object is observed by a camera model in a virtual environment.

Optionally, the camera model automatically follows the virtual object in the virtual environment, that is, when the position of the virtual object in the virtual environment changes, the camera model changes while following the position of the virtual object in the virtual environment, and the camera model is always within the preset distance range of the virtual object in the virtual environment. Optionally, the relative positions of the camera model and the virtual object do not change during the automatic following process.

The camera model refers to a three-dimensional model located around a virtual object in a virtual environment, and when a first-person perspective is adopted, the camera model is located near or at the head of the virtual object; when the third person perspective is adopted, the camera model may be located behind and bound to the virtual object, or may be located at any position away from the virtual object by a preset distance, and the virtual object located in the virtual environment may be observed from different angles by the camera model. Optionally, the viewing angle includes other viewing angles, such as a top view viewing angle, in addition to the first person viewing angle and the third person viewing angle; when a top-down view is used, the camera model may be positioned over the head of the virtual object, the top-down view being the view from which the virtual environment is viewed looking down in the air. Optionally, the camera model is not actually displayed in the virtual environment, i.e. the camera model is not displayed in the virtual environment displayed by the user interface.

In a possible implementation manner, the retrieving setting operation on the virtual item is executed before the start of the exchange, that is, the virtual item carried into the exchange can be retrieved only after the retrieving setting is performed before the start of the exchange, and the virtual item carried cannot be retrieved and set in the exchange process.

Optionally, before performing a game (i.e., before displaying the virtual environment screen), when receiving a trigger operation for retrieving setting, the terminal displays a retrieving setting interface, where the retrieving setting interface includes at least one virtual item owned by a virtual object and at least two retrieving options corresponding to different retrieving times.

In another possible embodiment, the retrieving setting operation on the virtual item may be performed within the game. In some embodiments, in the course of the game, a retrieve setting point or a retrieve setting Non-Player Character (NPC) is set in the virtual environment, and when the virtual object is located at the retrieve setting point or the retrieve setting NPC, the virtual object may be configured to retrieve the currently carried virtual item (which has not undergone the retrieve setting) by triggering the displayed retrieve setting interface.

Wherein the recovery time is greater than or equal to 0. When the recovery time is equal to 0, the lost virtual item is immediately recovered after the exchange is finished, and when the recovery time is more than 0, the lost virtual item is delayed for a certain time after the exchange is finished and then is recovered.

Optionally, the recovery time may be a time point or a time interval, for example, the recovery time may be 12 hours (that is, after the virtual item is lost, the virtual item is recovered at the 12 th hour after the end of the session), or the recovery time may be 12 to 24 hours (that is, after the virtual item is lost, the virtual item is recovered at any time within the 12 th to 24 th hours after the end of the session).

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the recovery setting interface 31 (or referred to as an insurance application interface for setting recovery insurance for virtual items) includes at least one piece of virtual item 311 and at least two recovery options 312, with recovery time periods of 24-36 hours and 36-48 hours, respectively.

Step 202, receiving a retrieval setting operation on the target virtual item in the retrieval setting interface, where the retrieval setting operation is used to set a preset retrieval time for the target virtual item.

In a possible implementation manner, when the retrieval setting interface contains a piece of virtual item, in response to receiving a selection operation of a retrieval option in the retrieval setting interface, it is determined that the retrieval setting operation is received, so that the virtual item contained in the retrieval setting interface is determined as a target virtual item, and a retrieval time corresponding to the selected retrieval option is determined as a preset retrieval time of the target virtual item.

In another possible implementation manner, when the retrieval setting interface includes at least two virtual items, in response to receiving a selection operation of the virtual item and the retrieval option in the retrieval setting interface, it is determined that the retrieval setting operation is received, so that the selected virtual item is determined as the target virtual item, and the retrieval time corresponding to the selected retrieval option is determined as the preset retrieval time of the target virtual item.

Optionally, when the target virtual items are at least two, the retrieving setting operation is used to set retrieving times for different virtual item settings respectively (that is, retrieving times corresponding to different virtual items may be different), or the retrieving setting operation is used to set retrieving times for different virtual items in a unified manner (that is, different virtual items correspond to the same retrieving time).

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, the terminal receives selection operations of the virtual item "armor" and the virtual item "helmet" in the retrieval setting interface 31 and selection operations of the retrieval option "24-36 hours", and when receiving a click operation of the confirmation control 313, determines that the preset retrieval time of the virtual item "armor" and the virtual item "helmet" is "24-36 hours".

In order to synchronize the retrieval setting information with the server, in a possible implementation manner, after receiving the retrieval setting operation, the terminal sends a retrieval setting request to the server, where the retrieval setting request at least includes an object identifier of the virtual object, a property identifier of the target virtual property, and a preset retrieval time.

Step 203, if the target virtual item is lost in the office-matching process and the target virtual item meets the retrieval condition, acquiring the retrieved target virtual item within the target retrieval time after the office-matching is finished, wherein the target retrieval time is determined based on the preset retrieval time of the target virtual item.

In a possible implementation manner, when the virtual object carries the target virtual prop set after being retrieved for the game, the server respectively obtains the prop identifications of the virtual props carried by the virtual object at the beginning and the end of the game, so as to determine the virtual props lost in the game according to the prop identification difference. Further, the server detects whether the lost virtual prop belongs to a target virtual prop which is set in advance for retrieval, and if the lost virtual prop belongs to the target virtual prop, the server detects whether the target virtual prop meets retrieval conditions. And if the retrieval condition is met, the server determines the target retrieval time of the target virtual prop according to the preset retrieval time of the target virtual prop, thereby retrieving the target virtual prop within the target retrieval time and returning the target virtual prop to the virtual object. Correspondingly, the terminal obtains the retrieved target virtual prop.

In some embodiments, the recovery condition comprises: the virtual item is not picked up by other virtual objects and brings the game out. Wherein the other virtual object is any virtual object (which can be friend virtual object or foe virtual object) except the current virtual object in the game.

Optionally, when the lost virtual item belongs to the target virtual item, the server obtains the virtual item carried by the other virtual object when the other virtual object leaves the opposite office, and if the virtual item carried by the other virtual object when the other virtual object leaves the opposite office does not contain the target virtual item (which may be determined based on the item identifier), it is determined that the target virtual item meets the retrieval condition; and if the virtual items carried by other virtual objects when leaving the opposite office contain the target virtual item, determining that the target virtual item does not accord with the retrieval condition.

It should be noted that, after the target virtual item is retrieved, the retrieving operation for the target virtual item is disabled, that is, the target virtual item needs to be retrieved and set again in the following process.

With reference to fig. 3, in an exemplary example, when a virtual object carries an insured virtual item "armor" and a virtual item "helmet" for a match, and is defeated by other virtual objects during the match, if other virtual objects do not pick up the virtual item "armor" and the virtual item "helmet", the retrieved virtual item "armor" and the virtual item "helmet" are obtained again in a period of 24-26 hours after the match ends.

To sum up, in the embodiment of the present application, by introducing a prop retrieving mechanism, a player can set retrieving time for a target virtual prop according to a requirement, and in a subsequent game-play process, if the target virtual prop is lost in the game-play process and meets retrieving conditions, the retrieved target virtual prop can be obtained again after the game-play is finished, so that the target virtual prop can be used again in the subsequent game-play process; after a property retrieving mechanism is introduced, the retrieving probability of the virtual property lost in the game process is improved, so that players tend to carry more virtual properties at the beginning of game alignment, the game alignment efficiency among virtual objects in the game alignment process is improved, and the effects of controlling the time length of single game alignment and reducing the processing pressure of a server are achieved.

In a possible application scenario, in the preparation process of the game, after a user selects a virtual item for carrying to enter the game for a virtual object, the virtual item can be further retrieved and set; in another possible implementation manner, even if the virtual object does not carry the virtual item, the user may also perform retrieval setting on the virtual item owned by the virtual object in the warehouse, and in the subsequent preparation process for the bureau, only the virtual object needs to be selected to carry the virtual item which is subjected to the retrieval setting in advance, and the retrieval setting is not needed in the preparation stage. The following description will be made by using exemplary embodiments.

Please refer to fig. 4, which illustrates a flowchart of a method for processing loss of a virtual prop according to another exemplary embodiment of the present application. The embodiment is described by taking as an example that the method is used for the first terminal 110 or the second terminal 130 in the implementation environment shown in fig. 1 or other terminals in the implementation environment, and the method includes the following steps:

step 401, in the preparation process of the game, responding to the trigger operation of the retrieving setting control, and displaying a first retrieving setting interface, wherein the first retrieving setting interface comprises at least one virtual item carried when the virtual object enters the game.

In the process of preparing for the exchange, the terminal performs retrieval setting on the virtual item through steps 401 to 402.

In a possible implementation manner, in the preparation process of the exchange, the terminal displays an exchange preparation picture and a retrieval setting control, when a triggering operation of the retrieval setting control is received, the terminal displays at least one virtual prop currently carried by the virtual object in the first retrieval setting interface, and the at least one virtual prop is subsequently carried into the exchange.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 5, in the procedure of preparing a match, the terminal displays a match preparation screen 51 and a recovery setting control 52, and when a click operation on the recovery setting control 52 is received, the terminal displays the recovery setting interface 31 shown in fig. 3, where the recovery setting interface 31 includes a virtual item 311 carried by a virtual object.

Step 402, receiving a selection operation on a target virtual item in the first retrieval setting interface and a selection operation on a target retrieval option in the first retrieval setting interface, wherein the retrieval time corresponding to the target retrieval option is preset retrieval time.

Because the first retrieval setting interface comprises at least one virtual prop, at least one virtual prop needs to be selected from the first retrieval setting interface, and then retrieval setting is carried out on the selected at least one virtual prop. In a possible implementation manner, when a selection operation of at least one virtual item in the first retrieval interface is received, the terminal determines the selected at least one virtual item as a target virtual item; when the selection operation of the target retrieval option is received, the terminal determines the retrieval time corresponding to the selected target retrieval option as the preset retrieval time of the target virtual prop.

Because not all virtual items support recovery, in some embodiments, the virtual items that support recovery in the first recovery setting interface are set to an optional state, while the virtual items that do not support recovery are set to an unselected state. Optionally, the virtual consumables (virtual ammunition, virtual supplies, etc.) and default carrying virtual props (such as virtual dagger, virtual pistol, virtual headset, etc.) in the first recovery setting interface are set to the non-selectable state.

Optionally, in order to avoid that the same virtual item is repeatedly retrieved and set, the virtual item that has undergone retrieval setting in the first retrieval setting interface includes a corresponding retrieval setting identifier. Illustratively, as shown in fig. 6, first virtual prop 611 and second virtual prop 612 in first retrieval setting interface 61 are set via retrieval, and include corresponding retrieval setting identifier 613.

Step 403, displaying a warehouse interface, wherein the warehouse interface comprises at least one virtual item owned by the virtual object.

Except for carrying out the property retrieving setting in the preparation process of the game, the user can also carry out the retrieving setting on the virtual property owned by the virtual object in the preparation process of the non-game, thereby directly carrying the virtual property which is set by the retrieving setting in the preparation process of the game and avoiding forgetting the retrieving setting in the preparation process of the game. The terminal performs retrieval setting on the virtual item in the non-contra-office preparation process through steps 403 to 405.

In a possible implementation manner, when a trigger operation on the warehouse display control is received, the terminal displays a warehouse interface, where the warehouse interface includes at least one virtual item owned by a virtual object, and the virtual item includes all virtual items carried or not carried by the virtual object. Correspondingly, the user can carry out retrieval setting on the virtual item carried by the virtual object, and the user can carry out retrieval setting on the virtual item owned by the virtual object but not carried by the virtual object.

Illustratively, as shown in FIG. 7, warehouse interface 71 includes at least one virtual item 711 owned by a virtual object.

Step 404, in response to the selection operation of the target virtual item in the warehouse interface, and the target virtual item belongs to the retrieved virtual item, displaying a second retrieval setting interface corresponding to the target virtual item.

Because not all the virtual props support retrieving, when the prop retrieving setting is carried out through the warehouse interface, the terminal needs to detect whether the selected virtual props support retrieving or not, and when the virtual props support retrieving, a retrieving setting entrance is displayed. In some embodiments, when a selection operation of a target virtual item in a warehouse interface is received, a terminal detects whether the target virtual item belongs to a virtual item supporting retrieval, if so, the terminal displays a retrieval setting option corresponding to the target virtual item, and if not, the terminal does not display the retrieval setting option (which may display other options) corresponding to the target virtual item. Further, when a triggering operation of the retrieval setting option is received, the terminal displays a second retrieval setting interface corresponding to the target virtual item.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7, when a selection operation of a virtual item "clip" in the warehouse interface 71 is received, since the virtual item "clip" belongs to the virtual item supporting retrieval, the terminal displays a retrieval setting option 712 in addition to displaying an item viewing option and an item selling option. When receiving a selection operation on the retrieval setting option 712, the terminal further displays a second retrieval setting interface 72, where the second retrieval setting interface 72 includes a virtual item 711 (i.e., a virtual item "cartridge clip") and a retrieval option 721.

Step 405, receiving a selection operation on a target retrieval option in the second retrieval setting interface, where the retrieval time corresponding to the target retrieval option is preset retrieval time.

Further, when a selection operation of a target retrieval option in the second retrieval setting interface is received, the terminal determines retrieval time corresponding to the target retrieval option as preset retrieval time of the target virtual item.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 7, when a selection operation of the retrieval option "24-36 hours" in the second retrieval setting interface 72 is received, the terminal determines that the preset retrieval time of the virtual item "cartridge clip" is "24-36 hours".

And 406, determining resource consumption according to the prop parameters of the target virtual prop and the preset retrieval time, wherein the resource consumption and the retrieval time are in a negative correlation relationship.

In some embodiments, when retrieving setting is performed on the virtual item, the specified resource needs to be consumed, and the consumption amount of the specified resource is related to the item type of the virtual item and the set preset retrieving time, so that after receiving the retrieving setting operation, the terminal needs to determine the resource consumption amount of the retrieving setting operation according to the item type of the target virtual item and the preset retrieving time.

Optionally, the property parameter includes at least one of a property type, a property grade, a property weight, and a property value, where different property types correspond to different resource consumptions, the resource consumption and the property grade are in a positive correlation, the resource consumption and the property weight are in a positive correlation, and the resource consumption and the property value are in a positive correlation.

In addition, the resource consumption and the recovery time are in a negative correlation relationship, that is, for the same virtual item, the longer the preset recovery time set for the virtual item is, the less the resource consumption is, and the shorter the preset recovery time set for the virtual item is, the more the resource consumption is.

In a possible implementation manner, the terminal is provided with a corresponding relationship among the property parameters, the retrieval time and the resource consumption, and the terminal determines the resource consumption based on the corresponding relationship, or the terminal is provided with a resource consumption calculation formula, wherein the property parameters and the retrieval time correspond to respective calculation weights, and the terminal substitutes the property parameters and the preset retrieval time into the formula to calculate the resource consumption. The embodiment of the present application does not limit a specific determination manner of the resource consumption amount.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 3, according to the prop parameter corresponding to the virtual prop "helmet" and the virtual prop "armour" and the preset retrieving time "24-36 hours", the terminal determines that the amount of resources consumed for the retrieving setting operation of the virtual prop "helmet" is 4454 money, and determines that the amount of resources consumed for the retrieving setting operation of the virtual prop "armour" is 4088 money.

Step 407, in response to that the resource remaining amount of the virtual object is greater than the resource consumption amount, sending a retrieval setting request to the server, where the server is configured to set a retrieval identifier for the target virtual item according to the retrieval setting request.

Further, the terminal detects whether the resource residual quantity of the virtual object is larger than the resource consumption quantity, if so, the recovery setting operation on the target virtual item is determined to be effective, and a recovery setting request is sent to the server, so that the server marks the target virtual item according to the recovery setting request (sets a recovery identifier for the target virtual item). If the number of the user terminals is less than the preset value, prompt information is displayed to prompt the user that the retrieving setting operation cannot be completed.

Optionally, the retrieval setting request includes an object identifier of the virtual object, a property identifier of the target virtual property, and a preset retrieval time of the target virtual property. In the subsequent process, when the virtual object enters the game, the server determines whether the virtual object carries the target virtual prop set by the retrieving according to the object identifier of the virtual object and the prop identifier of the carried virtual prop, and retrieves the prop based on the preset retrieving time of the target virtual prop.

Step 408, in response to that the virtual object carries the target virtual item, and the target virtual item includes at least two combined virtual items, obtaining the preset retrieval time corresponding to each of the combined virtual items.

After the target virtual item is retrieved and set through the steps 401 to 407, the virtual object may further carry the target virtual item to match.

For the combined virtual props which need to be combined with other virtual props for use, if different preset recovery time is set for different combined virtual props and the combined virtual props are lost in the process of the game, the different combined virtual props (meeting the recovery conditions) are scattered and recovered at different time points after the game is finished. Therefore, in order to optimize the retrieving manner of the combined virtual items, in a possible implementation manner, when the virtual object carries the target virtual item, the terminal detects whether the target virtual item includes at least two combined virtual items, and if so, obtains the preset retrieving time corresponding to each combined virtual item, and further detects whether the preset retrieving times corresponding to each combined virtual item are the same.

Optionally, at least two combined virtual items support the combination. For example, the combined virtual property includes a virtual remote weapon and at least one of a virtual scope, a virtual grip, a virtual cartridge clip, a virtual stock, a virtual muffler, and a virtual flame arrester.

Schematically, as shown in fig. 8, the terminal determines that the target virtual item carried by the virtual object includes three combined virtual items, which are a virtual rifle 811, a virtual stock 812 and a virtual sighting telescope 813, respectively, where the preset retrieval time corresponding to the virtual rifle 811 is 12-24 hours, the preset retrieval time corresponding to the virtual stock 812 is 24-36 hours, and the preset retrieval time corresponding to the virtual sighting telescope 813 is 36-48 hours.

Step 409, in response to different preset retrieving times corresponding to the combined virtual items, displaying a first retrieving strategy option and a second retrieving strategy option, where the first retrieving strategy option is used for indicating to retrieve the combined virtual items according to the uniform time, and the second retrieving strategy option is used for indicating to retrieve the combined virtual items according to the corresponding preset retrieving times.

In one possible implementation, the terminal provides two retrieval strategies, namely loose retrieval and integral retrieval, for the combined virtual item. The scattered retrieval strategy instructions are retrieved according to preset retrieval time corresponding to each combined virtual prop, and the overall retrieval strategy instructions are retrieved according to unified time.

Correspondingly, when the preset retrieval time corresponding to each of the combined virtual props is different, the terminal displays a first retrieval strategy option (corresponding to the integral retrieval strategy) and a second retrieval strategy option (corresponding to the scattered retrieval strategy), so that the user can select the corresponding retrieval strategies according to the requirements.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 8, when a trigger operation on the retrieval setting completion control 814 (i.e., the next step control) is received, the terminal displays a prompt popup 815, where the prompt popup 815 includes a first retrieval policy option 816 and a second retrieval policy option 817.

It should be noted that, in other possible embodiments, the terminal may also determine the overall retrieval policy as a default retrieval policy of the combined virtual item, and prompt the default retrieval policy when the preset retrieval times corresponding to the combined virtual item are different, which is not limited in this embodiment.

And step 410, receiving a selection operation of the first recovery strategy option or the second recovery strategy option.

Further, the terminal receives selection operation of the retrieval strategy option, so that a corresponding prop retrieval strategy is adopted for the combined virtual prop.

Optionally, the terminal reports the retrieval policy setting information to the server according to the received selection operation, so that the server retrieves the prop according to the retrieval policy indicated by the retrieval policy setting information.

Step 411, if the target virtual item is lost in the process of the exchange and the target virtual item meets the retrieval condition, receiving a retrieval email sent by the server after the exchange is finished, and sending the retrieval email within the target retrieval time.

The process of determining the lost target virtual item and determining whether the target virtual item meets the retrieval condition may refer to step 203, which is not described herein again.

In a possible implementation manner, after the server retrieves the target virtual item within the target retrieval time, the server sends a retrieval email to the terminal in an (in-application) email manner, where the retrieval email includes the retrieved target virtual item. Correspondingly, the terminal receives the recovery mail sent by the server.

Schematically, as shown in fig. 9, a recovery email 91 received by the terminal is displayed, and the recovery email 91 includes the recovered virtual armor 911.

Regarding the determination method of the target recovery time, in a possible implementation manner, when the target virtual item meeting the recovery condition includes at least two combined virtual items, and the at least two combined virtual items correspond to different preset recovery times, the target recovery times of the at least two combined virtual items are the respective corresponding preset recovery times.

In some embodiments, when a selection operation on the second recovery policy option is received, it indicates that the user desires to obtain the recovered combined virtual props scattered, so that the server obtains preset recovery times corresponding to the combined virtual props respectively, and determines the preset recovery times as target recovery times of the target virtual props.

Referring to fig. 8, in an illustrative example, when a selection operation on the second recovery strategy option 817 is received and a virtual object loses the virtual rifle 811 (the corresponding preset recovery time is 12-24 hours), the virtual stock 812 (the corresponding preset recovery time is 24-36 hours), and the virtual sighting telescope 813 (the corresponding preset recovery time is 36-48 hours) in the process of the exchange, the terminal obtains the recovered virtual rifle 811 by email at the 15 th hour after the end of the exchange, obtains the recovered virtual stock 812 by email at the 28 th hour after the end of the exchange, and obtains the recovered virtual sighting telescope 813 at the 40 th hour after the end of the exchange.

Obviously, when a plurality of combined virtual props meeting the retrieval condition exist, the terminals can randomly acquire the combined virtual props at different time points, and the integrity of prop retrieval is poor. Therefore, in another way of determining the target recovery time, when the target virtual item meeting the recovery condition includes at least two combined virtual items, and the at least two combined virtual items correspond to different preset recovery times, the target recovery time of the at least two combined virtual items is the unified recovery time, and the target recovery time is the preset recovery time corresponding to one of the combined virtual items.

In some embodiments, when a selection operation of the first recovery strategy option is received, it indicates that the user desires to obtain multiple pieces of combined virtual props recovered at the same time, so that the server obtains preset recovery times corresponding to the combined virtual props respectively, determines a target recovery time from the preset recovery times, and then uniformly sends the recovered multiple pieces of combined virtual props to the terminal based on the target recovery time.

In a possible implementation manner, the server randomly selects one retrieval time from the preset retrieval times respectively corresponding to the combined virtual items as the target retrieval time.

In another possible implementation manner, the server determines the target recovery time from the preset recovery times based on the resource consumption amount when the combined virtual item performs the recovery setting operation.

Optionally, when the target retrieval time of the at least two combined virtual properties is the unified retrieval time, the target retrieval time is selected by the server from the preset retrieval times corresponding to the at least two combined virtual properties, the selection probability of the target retrieval time is in a positive correlation with the resource consumption corresponding to the combined virtual properties, and the resource consumption refers to the amount of resources consumed when the virtual properties are retrieved and set.

Optionally, the server calculates a proportion of resource consumption corresponding to each combined virtual item to total resource consumption, and determines the proportion as a selection weight of the combined virtual item corresponding to the preset retrieval time, so as to select the target retrieval time from the preset retrieval time based on the selection weight, wherein the selection probability of the preset retrieval time and the selection weight are in a positive correlation.

Referring to fig. 8, in an illustrative example, when a selection operation on the first recovery strategy option 816 is received and a virtual object loses the virtual rifle 811 (corresponding to the preset recovery time being 12-24 hours and the resource consumption being 15000 funds), the virtual gunstock 812 (corresponding to the preset recovery time being 24-36 hours and the resource consumption being 4000 funds), and the virtual sighting telescope 813 (corresponding to the preset recovery time being 36-48 hours and the resource consumption being 1000 funds), the server determines that the selection weight of the preset recovery time of "12-24 hours" is 0.75, the selection weight of the preset recovery time of "24-36 hours" is 0.20, and the selection weight of the preset recovery time of "36-48 hours" is 0.05. Based on the selection weight, the terminal randomly selects from the preset recovery time, and determines the selected preset recovery time of 12-24 hours as the target recovery time. Further, the terminal acquires the retrieved virtual rifle 811, virtual stock 812, and virtual sighting telescope 813 simultaneously by mail at the 15 th hour after the end of the session.

It should be noted that, when the combined virtual item carried to the opposite office is lost and a part of the combined virtual item does not satisfy the retrieval condition, the server determines the selection weight according to the resource consumption of the combined virtual item satisfying the retrieval condition, which is not described herein again in this embodiment.

Obviously, by applying the overall retrieval strategy, when a plurality of combined virtual props meeting retrieval conditions exist, the terminal can acquire all the retrieved combined virtual props at a uniform time point, thereby avoiding the situation of scattered retrieval and improving the integrity of prop retrieval.

It should be noted that, for an unconbined virtual item in the target virtual item, when the unconbined virtual item meets the retrieval condition, the server retrieves the item according to the preset retrieval time corresponding to the unconbined virtual item, and correspondingly, the terminal acquires the retrieved unconbined virtual item within the preset retrieval time corresponding to the unconbined virtual item.

And step 412, acquiring the retrieved target virtual item from the retrieval mail.

Illustratively, as shown in fig. 9, when a click operation on a receiving control 912 is received, the terminal acquires the retrieved virtual armor 911 from the mail.

It should be noted that, when the target virtual item is retrieved, the server deletes the retrieval identifier corresponding to the target virtual item, that is, the retrieval setting operation needs to be performed on the target virtual item again, otherwise, the subsequent target virtual item cannot be retrieved after being lost.

Step 413, if the target virtual item is lost in the process of the exchange and the target virtual item does not meet the retrieval condition, receiving a retrieval failure message sent by the server, wherein the retrieval identifier corresponding to the target virtual item is deleted by the server when the retrieval setting operation of the target virtual item is failed.

In a possible implementation manner, when the target virtual item is lost in the exchange process and the target virtual item does not meet the retrieval condition, for example, the target virtual item is picked up by other virtual objects and brought out of the exchange, the server sends a retrieval failure message to the terminal; correspondingly, the terminal receives and displays the recovery failure message, and prompts the user that the target virtual item is picked up by others and cannot be recovered. At this time, the server deletes the retrieval identifier corresponding to the target virtual item, and indicates that the retrieval setting operation of the target virtual item is invalid.

In this embodiment, the user can get for setting back to the virtual stage property that carries in the preparation process of the counterparty, perhaps gets for setting back to the virtual stage property that virtual object possessed in the warehouse, can get for setting back through multiple mode promptly, has improved the flexibility of getting for setting back.

Meanwhile, in the embodiment, the terminal determines the amount of the consumed resources required by the retrieval setting according to the prop parameters of the virtual props and the set preset retrieval time, for example, higher resource consumption is set for the high-value virtual props and the instant retrieved virtual props, a real insurance application effect is simulated, and the authenticity of the retrieval setting is improved.

In addition, in this embodiment, when there is a combined virtual item with different retrieving time in the carried virtual item, the terminal provides a retrieving policy option for the user to select, and the user can implement flexible retrieving of the combined virtual item by selecting the scattered retrieving policy option, and can also implement integral retrieving of the combined virtual item by selecting the integral retrieving policy option, thereby improving diversity of virtual item retrieving modes. And when the overall retrieval strategy is adopted, the resource consumption of each combined virtual prop during retrieval setting is used as a basis, the target retrieval time is selected from a plurality of preset retrieval times, and the reasonability of the overall retrieval strategy of the virtual props is improved.

In connection with the above embodiments, in an illustrative example, the retrieving setting and retrieving process of the virtual item are shown in fig. 10.

Step 1009, select insurance trader, different insurance traders correspond to different insurance types.

Step 1010, selecting an application type, wherein different application types correspond to different recovery times.

At step 1011, a quota is determined.

Step 1012, check if the balance is greater than the warranty. If so, go to step 1013, and if so, go to step 1014.

Step 1013, the balance is prompted to be insufficient to pay the premium.

Step 1014, the application is successful.

And step 1015, the virtual object carries the insurable virtual prop to perform game.

Step 1016, detect if the virtual item is lost in the game. If not, go to step 1017, and if so, go to step 1018.

And step 1020, enabling insurance to take effect, retrieving the virtual property to be guaranteed, and failing to guarantee.

And step 1021, receiving the retrieved virtual item through the mail.

Audio circuit 1407 is operative to provide an audio interface between the user and terminal 1400. The audio circuit 1407 may include a microphone and a speaker. The microphone is used for collecting sound waves of a user and the environment, converting the sound waves into electric signals and inputting the electric signals to the processor 1401 for processing, or inputting the electric signals to the radio frequency circuit 1404 for realizing voice communication. For stereo capture or noise reduction purposes, multiple microphones may be provided, each at a different location of terminal 1400. The microphone may also be an array microphone or an omni-directional pick-up microphone. The speaker is used to convert electrical signals from the processor 1401 or the radio frequency circuit 1404 into sound waves. The loudspeaker can be a traditional film loudspeaker and can also be a piezoelectric ceramic loudspeaker. When the speaker is a piezoelectric ceramic speaker, the speaker can be used for purposes such as converting an electric signal into a sound wave audible to a human being, or converting an electric signal into a sound wave inaudible to a human being to measure a distance. In some embodiments, the audio circuit 1407 may also include a headphone jack.

Power supply 1408 is used to provide power to various components in terminal 1400. The power supply 1408 may be ac, dc, disposable or rechargeable. When the power supply 1408 comprises a rechargeable battery, the rechargeable battery may be a wired rechargeable battery or a wireless rechargeable battery. The wired rechargeable battery is a battery charged through a wired line, and the wireless rechargeable battery is a battery charged through a wireless coil. The rechargeable battery can also be used to support fast charge technology.

In some embodiments, terminal 1400 also includes one or more sensors 1410. The one or more sensors 1410 include, but are not limited to: acceleration sensor 1411, gyro sensor 1412, pressure sensor 1413, optical sensor 1414, and proximity sensor 1415.

The acceleration sensor 1411 may detect the magnitude of acceleration on three coordinate axes of a coordinate system established with the terminal 1400. For example, the acceleration sensor 1411 may be used to detect components of the gravitational acceleration in three coordinate axes. The processor 1401 can control the touch display 1405 to display a user interface in a landscape view or a portrait view according to the gravitational acceleration signal collected by the acceleration sensor 1411. The acceleration sensor 1411 may also be used for the acquisition of motion data of a game or a user.

The gyro sensor 1412 may detect a body direction and a rotation angle of the terminal 1400, and the gyro sensor 1412 and the acceleration sensor 1411 may cooperate to collect a 3D motion of the user on the terminal 1400. The processor 1401 can implement the following functions according to the data collected by the gyroscope sensor 1412: motion sensing (such as changing the UI according to a user's tilting operation), image stabilization at the time of photographing, game control, and inertial navigation.

Pressure sensors 1413 may be disposed on the side bezel of terminal 1400 and/or underlying touch display 1405. When the pressure sensor 1413 is disposed on the side frame of the terminal 1400, a holding signal of the user to the terminal 1400 may be detected, and left-right hand recognition or shortcut operation may be performed according to the holding signal. When the pressure sensor 1413 is disposed at the lower layer of the touch display screen 1405, it is possible to control an operability control on the UI interface according to a pressure operation of the user on the touch display screen 1405. The operability control comprises at least one of a button control, a scroll bar control, an icon control and a menu control.

The optical sensor 1414 is used to collect ambient light intensity. In one embodiment, processor 1401 can control the display brightness of touch display 1405 based on the ambient light intensity collected by optical sensor 1414. Specifically, when the ambient light intensity is high, the display brightness of the touch display screen 1405 is increased; when the ambient light intensity is low, the display brightness of the touch display 1405 is turned down. In another embodiment, processor 1401 can also dynamically adjust the camera assembly 1406's shooting parameters based on the ambient light intensity collected by optical sensor 1414.

Proximity sensors 1415, also known as distance sensors, are typically disposed on the front face of terminal 1400. The proximity sensor 1415 is used to collect a distance between a user and the front surface of the terminal 1400. In one embodiment, when proximity sensor 1415 detects that the distance between the user and the front face of terminal 1400 is gradually reduced, processor 1401 controls touch display 1405 to switch from the bright screen state to the dark screen state; when the proximity sensor 1415 detects that the distance between the user and the front surface of the terminal 1400 is gradually increased, the processor 1401 controls the touch display 1405 to switch from the rest state to the bright state.
