Detailed Description

In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the attached drawings, the described embodiments should not be considered as limiting the present application, and all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In the following description, reference is made to "some embodiments" which describe a subset of all possible embodiments, but it is understood that "some embodiments" may be the same subset or different subsets of all possible embodiments, and may be combined with each other without conflict.

Where similar language of "first/second" appears in the specification, the following description is added, and where reference is made to the term "first \ second \ third" merely for distinguishing between similar items and not for indicating a particular ordering of items, it is to be understood that "first \ second \ third" may be interchanged both in particular order or sequence as appropriate, so that embodiments of the application described herein may be practiced in other than the order illustrated or described herein.

Unless defined otherwise, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing embodiments of the present application only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

Before further detailed description of the embodiments of the present application, terms and expressions referred to in the embodiments of the present application will be described, and the terms and expressions referred to in the embodiments of the present application will be used for the following explanation.

1) The terminal comprises a client and an application program running in the terminal and used for providing various services, such as an instant messaging client and a video playing client.

2) In response to the condition or state on which the performed operation depends, one or more of the performed operations may be in real-time or may have a set delay when the dependent condition or state is satisfied; there is no restriction on the order of execution of the operations performed unless otherwise specified.

3) The virtual scene is a virtual scene displayed (or provided) when an application program runs on the terminal. The virtual scene may be a simulation environment of a real world, a semi-simulation semi-fictional virtual environment, or a pure fictional virtual environment. The virtual scene may be any one of a two-dimensional virtual scene, a 2.5-dimensional virtual scene, or a three-dimensional virtual scene, and the dimension of the virtual scene is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. For example, a virtual scene may include sky, land, ocean, etc., the land may include environmental elements such as deserts, cities, etc., and a user may control virtual objects to perform activities within the virtual scene including, but not limited to: adjusting at least one of body posture, crawling, walking, running, riding, jumping, driving, picking, shooting, attacking, throwing. The virtual scene may be displayed at a first-person perspective (e.g., to play a virtual object in a game at the player's own perspective); or displaying the virtual scene at a third person perspective (e.g., a player follows a virtual object in the game to play the game); the virtual scene can also be displayed at a bird's-eye view angle; the above-mentioned viewing angles can be switched arbitrarily.

Taking the example of displaying the virtual scene at the first-person viewing angle, the virtual scene displayed in the human-computer interaction interface may include: according to the viewing position and the viewing angle of the virtual object in the complete virtual scene, the field of view area of the virtual object is determined, and the partial virtual scene in the field of view area in the complete virtual scene is presented, namely, the displayed virtual scene can be a partial virtual scene relative to the panoramic virtual scene. Because the first person viewing angle is the viewing angle which can give impact force to the user, the immersive perception that the user is personally on the scene in the operation process can be realized. Taking the example of displaying the virtual scene from the bird's-eye view angle, the interface of the virtual scene presented in the human-computer interaction interface may include: in response to a zoom operation for the panoramic virtual scene, a partial virtual scene corresponding to the zoom operation is presented in the human-machine interaction interface, i.e., the displayed virtual scene may be a partial virtual scene relative to the panoramic virtual scene. Therefore, the operability of the user in the operation process can be improved, and the efficiency of man-machine interaction can be improved.

4) Virtual objects, the appearance of various people and objects in the virtual scene that can interact, or movable objects in the virtual scene. The movable object can be a virtual character, a virtual animal, an animation character, etc., such as: characters, animals, plants, oil drums, walls, stones, etc. displayed in the virtual scene. The virtual object may be an avatar in the virtual scene that is virtual to represent the user. The virtual scene may include a plurality of virtual objects, each virtual object having its own shape and volume in the virtual scene and occupying a portion of the space in the virtual scene.

Alternatively, the virtual object may be a user Character controlled by an operation on the client, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) set in the virtual scene fight by training, or a Non-user Character (NPC) set in the virtual scene interaction. Alternatively, the virtual object may be a virtual character that is confrontationally interacted with in a virtual scene. Optionally, the number of virtual objects participating in the interaction in the virtual scene may be preset, or may be dynamically determined according to the number of clients participating in the interaction.

Taking a shooting game as an example, the user may control the virtual object to freely fall, glide, open a parachute to fall, run, jump, crawl over land, or the like in the sky of the virtual scene, or may control the virtual object to swim, float, or dive in the sea. Of course, the user may also control the virtual object to ride the vehicle-like virtual item to move in the virtual scene, for example, the vehicle-like virtual item may be a virtual car, a virtual aircraft, a virtual yacht, or the like; the user may also control the virtual object to perform antagonistic interaction with other virtual objects through the attack-type virtual item, for example, the virtual item may be a virtual machine a, a virtual tank, a virtual fighter, and the like, which is only exemplified in the above scenario, and this is not limited in this embodiment of the present application.

5) Scene data, representing various features that objects in the virtual scene are exposed to during the interaction, may include, for example, the location of the objects in the virtual scene. Of course, different types of features may be included depending on the type of virtual scene; for example, in a virtual scene of a game, scene data may include a time required to wait for various functions arranged in the virtual scene (depending on the number of times the same function can be used within a certain time), and attribute values indicating various states of a game character may include, for example, a life value (also referred to as a red amount), a magic value (also referred to as a blue amount), a state value, a blood amount, and the like.

Illustratively, taking a game scene as an example, referring to fig. 4, fig. 4 is a schematic view of a steering control provided by an embodiment of the present application. In the figure, in the interface of the virtual scene, a virtual vehicle "ship" (indicated by the number 1 in the figure) carrying the virtual object and in a driving state, and two steering controls (a left-turning control and a right-turning control indicated by the number 2) are presented. The terminal can respond to the click operation aiming at the left turning control and control the virtual carrier 'ship' to execute the left turning operation; the terminal can also respond to the click operation aiming at the right turning control and control the virtual carrier 'ship' to execute the right turning operation.

In step 103, in response to the steered orientation of the virtual vehicle deviating from the driving path of the virtual vehicle, the orientation of the virtual vehicle is adjusted so that the adjusted orientation of the virtual vehicle is consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual vehicle.

In actual implementation, the terminal responds to the deviation of the steered orientation of the virtual vehicle from the driving path of the virtual vehicle, and the orientation of the virtual vehicle can be adjusted so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual vehicle is consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual vehicle. The method for adjusting the orientation of the virtual vehicle by the trigger terminal may be that the terminal responds to a direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle to adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle; the terminal may automatically adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle when detecting that the orientation of the steered virtual vehicle deviates from the driving path of the virtual vehicle and when the condition for automatic adjustment is satisfied. The conditions for automatic adjustment may relate to the functional authority that the player has, the current level of the player, the number of historical adjustments made by the player, and the like.

A manner of adjusting the orientation of the virtual vehicle by the terminal in response to the direction resetting instruction is described, in some embodiments, referring to fig. 5, fig. 5 is a flowchart of an orientation adjustment manner of the virtual vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application, and based on fig. 3, step 103 may be implemented by step 1031a to step 1032 a.

In step 1031a, the terminal receives a direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle.

In practical applications, after receiving the direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle, the terminal may adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle so that the virtual vehicle can keep consistent with the orientation of the driving path at the current position. The method for triggering the direction resetting instruction includes a plurality of triggering modes, which mainly include player active triggering and terminal automatic detection, wherein the player active triggering can be that the terminal actively triggers the direction resetting instruction when the player finds that the direction of the virtual vehicle after steering deviates from the driving path of the virtual vehicle after receiving the steering instruction to steer the virtual vehicle. The passive triggering may be that the terminal automatically triggers a direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle to adjust the direction of the virtual vehicle when detecting that the direction of the steered virtual vehicle deviates from the driving path of the virtual vehicle.

The manner in which the player actively triggers the direction reset instruction will be described. In some embodiments, the terminal presents a direction reset control in an interface of the virtual scene; and when the direction resetting control is in an activated state, the terminal responds to the triggering operation of the player aiming at the direction resetting control and receives a direction resetting instruction aiming at the virtual carrier.

In practical implementation, the direction resetting control has a cooling period (e.g., 10 seconds), the direction resetting control is in a cooling state at this time, when the cooling period is over, the direction resetting control is controlled to be switched from a dormant state to an active state, otherwise, the direction resetting control is in the cooling state, and the player cannot operate the direction resetting control. It should be noted that the terminal may present the direction resetting control in the cooling state and the activated state in different display styles in the interface of the virtual scene, and the specific form and the display style of the direction resetting control are not limited in the present application.

Exemplarily, taking a virtual scene as a driving game scene as an example, referring to fig. 6, fig. 6 is a schematic diagram of direction resetting controls in different states provided in an embodiment of the present application, in the diagram, a virtual vehicle "boat" (indicated by reference numeral 1 in the figure) carrying a virtual object and a direction resetting control (a display style of the direction resetting control in a cooling state indicated by reference numeral 2 in the figure) are presented in a game scene interface a, and during normal driving of the virtual vehicle, the direction resetting control may be in a cooling state, and when a terminal responds to a steering instruction of a player for the virtual vehicle "boat", the virtual vehicle is controlled to steer (left steering or right steering, etc.); after finding that the orientation of the virtual vehicle after being turned deviates from the driving path of the virtual vehicle, the player may activate the direction resetting control, so that the direction resetting control is switched from the cooling state to the activation state (in the figure, the number 3 indicates a display style of the direction resetting control in the activation state), and after the direction resetting control is activated, the terminal receives a direction resetting instruction for the current virtual vehicle.

In some embodiments, the terminal may further implement the triggering operation for the direction reset instruction by: the terminal presents pattern drawing indication information in an interface of a virtual scene, wherein the pattern drawing indication information is used for indicating drawing of a target pattern to trigger the direction resetting instruction; the terminal responds to the pattern drawing operation based on the pattern drawing indication information, receives a direction reset instruction aiming at the virtual carrier when the drawn pattern is matched with the target pattern, and executes subsequent operation aiming at the virtual carrier based on the received direction reset instruction.

In actual implementation, when the terminal detects that the orientation of the virtual vehicle deviates, the terminal may present pattern drawing instruction information in the virtual interface to remind a player to draw a corresponding pattern in the virtual interface according to the pattern drawing instruction information. When the pattern drawn by the player coincides with the target drawn pattern indicated by the pattern drawing instruction information, it can be regarded that the player successfully triggers the direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle. The player may draw the pattern directly in the pattern drawing instruction information, or may draw the target pattern corresponding to the pattern drawing instruction information in a predetermined drawing area in the virtual interface. It should be noted that the pattern drawing instruction information may be a pattern of any shape.

Fig. 7A-7B are schematic diagrams illustrating pattern rendering provided by an embodiment of the present application, and referring to fig. 7A, in the game scene interface a, a virtual vehicle "boat" (shown by reference numeral 1 in the figure) carrying a virtual object is presented, and when a terminal responds to a steering instruction for the virtual vehicle (a player clicks a left or right steering control shown by reference numeral 2 in the figure), the virtual vehicle is controlled to steer (left steering or right steering, etc.); after finding that the orientation of the virtual vehicle after steering deviates from the driving path of the virtual vehicle, the player may present pattern drawing indication information (the "heart-shaped" pattern shown by number 3 in the figure, the pattern drawing indication information may be any figure), the player may draw directly on the "heart-shaped" (as shown in fig. 7A, draw directly in the direction of the arrow in the "heart-shaped" indication map until the pattern drawing is completed), and may draw a heart-shaped pattern in a pattern drawing area (as shown by number 4 in the figure) in the virtual interface as shown in fig. 7B, after the drawing is completed, the terminal determines whether the pattern drawn by the player is consistent with the target drawing pattern indicated by the pattern drawing indication information, and the terminal may also calculate the similarity between the pattern drawn by the player and the target drawing pattern through the neural network model, and when the similarity between the two reaches a similarity threshold value, it can be determined that the player successfully triggers a direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle, and the terminal receives the direction reset instruction and executes subsequent operations for the virtual vehicle.

In some embodiments, when the steering instruction for the virtual vehicle is triggered according to the steering control, the terminal may further implement a triggering operation for the direction resetting instruction by: the terminal responds to the pressing operation aiming at the steering control, and when the pressing time of the pressing operation reaches a time threshold or the pressing pressure reaches a pressure threshold, the corresponding steering control is controlled to be in a suspension state; in response to the steering control in the hovering state being dragged to the first area, a direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle is received.

In actual implementation, in order to reduce the operation complexity of a player or the screen occupation ratio of a control, when the steering control is presented in the virtual interface, the triggering of the direction reset instruction can be realized according to other operations except the clicking operation performed on the steering control. The virtual vehicle is controlled to execute different operations according to different operation types aiming at the steering control, for example, the virtual vehicle is controlled by the terminal to execute the steering operation by executing the clicking operation (clicking the steering control) aiming at the steering control; the method includes the steps that a pressing operation (namely pressing or long-pressing of a turning control) is executed aiming at the turning control, the terminal controls the turning control to be switched from a fixed state to a floating state, the turning control can move at the moment, a player drags the turning control in the floating state to a first area (which can be a fixed area defined in a virtual interface), when the turning control is located in the first area, the terminal can receive a direction resetting instruction aiming at a virtual carrier, and follow-up operation aiming at the virtual carrier is executed based on the direction resetting instruction. In practical application, the terminal can adopt different display styles to present the steering control in a fixed state and a suspension state in a virtual interface. Meanwhile, the demarcation for the first area can be set according to actual conditions. The display style of the steering control and the specific defining mode of the first region are not limited in the embodiment of the application.

For example, referring to fig. 8, fig. 8 is a schematic view of a steering control in a floating state provided in an embodiment of the present application, in which a virtual vehicle "car" carrying a virtual object and a steering control (a left steering key and a right steering key shown in the number 1 in the figure) are presented in a game interface, after finding that the orientation of the virtual vehicle after steering deviates from a driving path of the virtual vehicle, a player performs a pressing operation (or a long pressing operation) on the steering control, and when a pressing duration of the pressing operation reaches a duration threshold (for example, 2s, the duration threshold may be preset according to an actual situation), the player controls the steering control to be switched from a fixed state to the floating state, and presents a first area (shown in the number 2 in the figure), the player drags the steering control to the first area, and the terminal may receive a direction reset instruction and perform a subsequent operation based on the direction reset instruction.

In some embodiments, after the terminal responds to the direction reset instruction triggered based on the steering control, and the orientation of the virtual vehicle is adjusted, the normal steering function of the steering control can be restored by that the terminal controls the steering control dragged to the first area to be restored to the initial position.

In practical implementation, after the terminal responds to the direction resetting instruction, the pressing operation on the steering control is released, so that the pressed steering control is restored to the initial position, and the released steering control is controlled to be switched from the suspension state to the fixed state.

In some embodiments, the terminal may further trigger the direction reset instruction by a pressing operation and a sliding operation based on the steering control, which are implemented as follows: the terminal presents sliding indication information corresponding to the steering control, wherein the sliding indication information is used for triggering a direction reset instruction when the steering control is indicated to slide to the second area; and receiving a sliding operation aiming at the steering control based on the sliding indication information, and receiving a direction resetting instruction aiming at the virtual vehicle when the steering control is slid to the second area.

In actual implementation, the terminal receives a pressing operation of a player on the steering control, obtains the pressing duration or the pressure of the pressing operation, and when the pressing duration reaches a duration threshold or the pressure reaches a pressure threshold, can present sliding indication information in the interface for indicating the player to slide the steering control to the sliding second area, and trigger a direction reset instruction for the virtual carrier, and the terminal executes subsequent operations according to the received direction reset instruction. The second region may be the same region as the first region or may be two different regions. In this embodiment, the state of the steering control is not changed, i.e., the steering control is always in a fixed state.

For example, referring to fig. 9, fig. 9 is a schematic view of a sliding operation provided in an embodiment of the present application, in a virtual interface corresponding to a game scene, a virtual vehicle "boat" carrying a virtual object and two steering controls are presented, after a player finds that a steered direction of the virtual vehicle deviates from a travel path of the virtual vehicle, a pressing operation is performed on the steering controls, when a pressing duration of the pressing operation reaches a duration threshold (e.g., 2s), a sliding indication information "move to be resettable" is presented in the virtual interface, and a second area (numbered 1 in the figure) is presented, the player performs the sliding operation, a terminal acquires a position of the sliding operation, and when the position of the sliding operation is within the second area, the terminal may receive a direction resetting instruction for the virtual vehicle, and the terminal performs a subsequent operation based on the direction resetting instruction.

In some embodiments, the terminal may also trigger a direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle by: the terminal presents a voice input function item in an interface of a virtual scene; and receiving a direction reset instruction in a voice form aiming at the virtual vehicle based on the voice input function item.

In actual implementation, the terminal may receive a direction reset instruction for the virtual vehicle based on the voice entry function item through the voice entry function item presented in the virtual interface. It should be noted that, the direction reset instruction in the form of voice may be a voice password list preset by the terminal, and the player may trigger the direction reset instruction only by inputting the voice password in the password list, so that the speed of analyzing the voice password by the terminal may be increased, and the efficiency of triggering the direction reset instruction may be increased.

For example, referring to fig. 10, fig. 10 is a schematic view of a voice input interface provided in an embodiment of the present application, in the virtual interface, a virtual vehicle "boat" carrying a virtual object is presented, after a terminal performs a steering operation on the "boat", a player finds that the moving virtual vehicle deviates from a normal moving path, at this time, the player may press a voice input function item (or a voice input icon, which is indicated by reference number 1 in the figure) in the virtual interface, and when a password such as "reset" is inputted by voice, the terminal receives a voice input, analyzes the voice input, and triggers a direction reset instruction. The process of analyzing the voice input by the terminal may be based on a neural network model, predicting the voice input content, obtaining a direction reset instruction output by the player, and generating a direction reset instruction.

In step 1032a, the terminal responds to the direction resetting instruction, and adjusts the orientation of the virtual vehicle, so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual vehicle is consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual vehicle.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 11, fig. 11 is a flowchart illustrating a virtual vehicle control method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and based on fig. 3, after the terminal performs step 103 to adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle, the terminal may further continue to perform the steps illustrated in fig. 11.

And 104a, when the terminal receives the steering instruction for the virtual vehicle again and the direction of the steered virtual vehicle deviates from the running path of the virtual vehicle again, acquiring the triggering times of the direction resetting instruction for the virtual vehicle.

In actual implementation, the terminal responds to the direction trigger instruction, adjusts the direction of the virtual vehicle for multiple times, and when the terminal receives the steering instruction again, the direction of the virtual vehicle can be automatically adjusted according to the relation between the historical adjustment times and the time threshold value. The terminal obtains the historical adjustment times (namely the historical trigger times of the direction reset instruction) for the orientation of the virtual carrier in a preset time period, and compares the historical adjustment times with the time threshold value.

And 105a, when the triggering times reach the time threshold, automatically adjusting the orientation of the virtual carrier by the terminal, so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual carrier is consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual carrier.

In actual implementation, when the historical trigger times of the direction reset instruction reach a preset time threshold, the terminal automatically adjusts the orientation of the virtual vehicle. In practical applications, in a driving game in which steering operation is dominant, in order to ensure fairness and reasonableness of the game, it is a conditional restriction that the terminal automatically adjusts the orientation of the virtual vehicle, for example, the player is freely allocated the number of automatic adjustments corresponding to the player level, or the number of toy payment purchase adjustments.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a schematic view of a virtual vehicle direction resetting method provided in an embodiment of the present application, and based on fig. 3, after the terminal performs step 103 to adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle, the terminal may further continue to perform the steps shown in fig. 12.

And 104b, the terminal predicts the times of triggering the direction reset instruction in the first time period from the current time through the neural network model to obtain a prediction result. And 105b, when the prediction result represents that the number of times of triggering the direction resetting instruction is larger than the number threshold value in the first time period, periodically adjusting the orientation of the virtual vehicle in the first time period, so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual vehicle is consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual vehicle.

In practical implementation, the terminal may collect driving data of each sample virtual carrier in each sample virtual scene pair in the sample virtual scene pair, collect sample scene data of each sample virtual scene in the sample virtual scene pair, construct a training sample according to the collected sample driving data, sample scene data and direction reset data, train the neural network model with the training sample as an input of the neural network model to be trained and with the direction reset times of the virtual carrier as annotation data, obtain the trained neural network model, predict the number of times of triggering a direction reset instruction in a first time period from a current time according to the trained neural network model, obtain the direction reset times of the current virtual carrier, and when a prediction result is characterized in the first time period, and when the number of times of triggering the direction reset instruction is greater than the number threshold, periodically adjusting the orientation of the virtual vehicle in a first time period. In some embodiments, referring to fig. 13, fig. 13 is a schematic view illustrating that the virtual vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application is in a stable orientation state, and based on fig. 3, after the terminal performs the orientation adjustment on the virtual vehicle in step 103, the terminal may further continue to perform the steps illustrated in fig. 13.

And 104c, the terminal controls the virtual vehicle to be in a stable state in a second time period from the current time.

The second time period may be set in advance according to actual conditions, for example, the time point after the terminal adjusts the orientation of the virtual vehicle in response to the direction reset command is T1, and the preset second time period is T, and the unit may be time, minute, second, millisecond, and the like. That is, during a time period T from the time point T1, the orientation of the virtual vehicle is in a steady state, that is, in a state of being aligned with the orientation of the travel path at the current position of the virtual vehicle. And in the T time period, the terminal forcibly controls the virtual vehicle to be in a stable orientation state.

And 105c, in the process that the virtual vehicle is in the stable orientation state, when a steering command for the virtual vehicle is received, controlling the virtual vehicle to steer according to the direction indicated by the steering command, wherein the orientation of the steered virtual vehicle is consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual vehicle.

In actual implementation, the terminal may control the virtual vehicle to be in a stable state, and when the virtual vehicle is in the stable state, and receives the steering command for the virtual vehicle again, directly control the virtual vehicle to steer without deviating.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 14, fig. 14 is a schematic view of an orientation of an automatically adjusted virtual vehicle provided in an embodiment of the present application, and based on fig. 3, step 103 in the figure may be implemented by steps 1031b to 1032 b.

And step 1031b, the terminal acquires the orientation adjustment authority of the current login account for the virtual carrier.

In actual application, account numbers of different levels often have different functional permissions for the same virtual scene application, so that in actual implementation, a terminal can obtain the orientation adjustment permission of a current login account number for a virtual vehicle, and for increasing the user stickiness of the virtual scene application, for users of lower levels or new users, the use degree of the users on the virtual scene application can be improved by endowing some high-level users with the functional permissions.

For example, in the driving game a in which the steering operation is the active behavior, the new user often has a reduced preference degree for the driving game a because the control manner of the virtual vehicle is not well known. Therefore, in order to increase the user's preference for the driving game a, the orientation adjustment authority for the virtual vehicle may be assigned to a new user who registers the driving game a or a user with a lower ranking. It should be noted that, in order to ensure fairness and fairness of users at different levels, a preset number of direction adjustments may be provided for a new user or a user at a low level, and after use is completed, the new user or the user at a low level needs to continue purchasing and using in a payment manner.

And 1032b, when the current login account is determined to have the orientation adjustment right for the virtual vehicle, automatically adjusting the orientation of the virtual vehicle, so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual vehicle is consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual vehicle.

In actual implementation, when the current login account has the orientation adjustment authority for the virtual vehicle, the terminal can automatically adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle when detecting that the orientation of the virtual vehicle deviates from the normal driving path.

For example, assuming that a new user U of the driving game a is given 5 times of opportunities to automatically adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle, the user U may automatically determine whether to use the automatic adjustment when the orientation of the virtual vehicle needs to be adjusted, and the number of uses of the user U per time of the automatic adjustment of the virtual vehicle is reduced until the 5 times of opportunities for the automatic adjustment are used up. At this time, the user U no longer has the orientation adjustment authority under the condition that the level is not changed, and when the orientation adjustment of the virtual vehicle is needed again, the user U can purchase the automatic adjustment times in a payment manner.

In some embodiments, the terminal may also initiate automatic adjustment of the orientation of the virtual vehicle by: the terminal presents a direction reset switch in an interface of a virtual scene; and controlling to start a direction reset mode for the virtual vehicle in response to an opening instruction for the direction reset switch. Correspondingly, the terminal can also adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle by: and in the direction resetting mode, the terminal automatically adjusts the orientation of the virtual carrier, so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual carrier is consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual carrier.

In actual implementation, the terminal can further start a direction reset mode for the virtual vehicle based on a direction reset switch arranged in the virtual scene interface, and when the virtual vehicle is in the direction reset mode, the terminal can automatically adjust the orientation of the virtual vehicle.

For example, referring to fig. 15, fig. 15 is a schematic view of a direction reset switch provided in an example of the present application, in the view, a virtual vehicle "ship" carrying a virtual object is presented in an interface of a virtual scene, and a direction reset switch (numbered 1 in the figure) is presented, a player clicks the direction reset switch, a terminal controls to turn on a direction reset mode for the virtual vehicle, and in the direction reset mode, when the terminal detects that the orientation of the virtual vehicle deviates, the orientation of the virtual vehicle may be automatically adjusted, so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual vehicle coincides with the orientation of the driving path at the current position of the virtual vehicle.

In some embodiments, the terminal may further control the virtual vehicle of the other party to be in the direction resetting proceeding state in the following manner, referring to fig. 16, where fig. 16 is a flow chart of the direction resetting disabling state provided by the embodiments of the present application, and is described with reference to the steps shown in fig. 16.

Step 201, the terminal responds to an equipment instruction aiming at the target virtual item, and controls the virtual object to equipment the target virtual item.

Illustratively, for game application a, there is player B and player C, and during the course of the game, the terminal controls player B to arm a virtual pistol in response to player B arming instructions for a virtual item (e.g., "virtual pistol").

Step 202, in the process that the interactive object of the virtual object carries the target virtual carrier to run, the terminal responds to the throwing instruction aiming at the target virtual item, and controls the virtual object to throw the target virtual item towards the interactive object.

Taking the example above, player B holds a virtual pistol and drives a virtual vehicle vessel B to chase a player C that also holds a virtual pistol and drives a virtual vehicle vessel C, and the terminal controls player B to launch a virtual item "bullet" toward player C with player B as home and player C as opponent.

Step 203, when the target virtual item is thrown to the sensing range of the target virtual item, the terminal controls the target virtual carrier to be in a direction reset forbidden state. The direction reset disabled state is used for keeping the direction of the target virtual vehicle unchanged when the direction of the steered target virtual vehicle deviates from the traveling path of the target virtual vehicle and a direction reset instruction for adjusting the direction of the target virtual vehicle is triggered.

In the above example, when the virtual item "bullet" launched by the player B is thrown into the sensing range of the "bullet" and hits the virtual carrier of the player C, the terminal controls the virtual carrier ship C of the player C to be in the direction reset disabled state at this time, and keeps the orientation of the virtual carrier ship C when being hit unchanged, that is, after the virtual carrier ship C is hit, the player C is prohibited from having the direction reset authority for the virtual carrier ship C, and no functional item or control related to the direction reset is presented in the virtual interface of the terminal where the player C is located.

In some embodiments, referring to fig. 17, fig. 17 is a schematic view of a virtual vehicle orientation adjustment method provided in the embodiment of the present application, and based on fig. 3, step 103 in the figure can be further implemented through steps 1031c to 1033 c.

And step 1031c, the terminal determines the circle center position corresponding to the driving path.

For example, referring to fig. 18, fig. 18 is a schematic diagram illustrating the adjustment of the orientation of the virtual vehicle according to the tangent line provided by the embodiment of the present application, in which reference numeral 1 shows a normal traveling path of the virtual vehicle, and reference numeral 2 shows a possible traveling path of the virtual vehicle after the virtual vehicle finds the steering operation at the position a. Because the virtual vehicle deviates at the position A, the circle center position O point corresponding to the driving path at the position A can be obtained, and a circle is drawn by taking O as the origin and the length of OA as the radius, wherein A is a point on the circumference.

And 1032c, the terminal determines a tangent line taking the current position of the virtual carrier as a tangent point based on the determined circle center position.

In the above example, a tangent line AB with O as the origin and the current position a of the virtual vehicle as the tangent point and a tangent line AC with a as the tangent point on the travel path 2 are obtained, and it can be determined that ≈ BAC is the angle at which the virtual vehicle deviates at a.

Step 1033c, the terminal adjusts the orientation of the virtual vehicle so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual vehicle is parallel to the tangential direction.

In the above example, the terminal adjusts the orientation of the virtual vehicle, and adjusts the angle BAC of the orientation of the virtual vehicle.

In some embodiments, the terminal may also implement the directional reset for the virtual vehicle by: the method comprises the steps that in the process of controlling the virtual vehicle to run, a terminal receives interactive operation of an interactive object on the virtual vehicle by using a virtual item; and when the orientation of the virtual vehicle deviates from the running path of the virtual vehicle as a result of the interactive operation, adjusting the orientation of the virtual vehicle so that the orientation of the adjusted virtual vehicle is consistent with the orientation of the running path of the current position of the virtual vehicle.

According to the method and the device, when the orientation of the virtual vehicle carrying the virtual object deviates from the driving path of the virtual vehicle, the orientation of the virtual vehicle can be adjusted in a mode of active triggering of a user or automatic detection of a terminal; when a user actively triggers a direction reset instruction aiming at the virtual carrier, the participation degree of the user can be improved; the terminal is controlled to adjust the virtual carrier according to the orientation adjustment authority of the user, so that the interest degree of the user in the application of the virtual scene can be improved, and the fairness of the application of the virtual scene for users of different grades can be ensured; and the terminal responds to the direction resetting instruction, adjusts the orientation of the virtual carrier and ensures that the orientation of the virtual carrier can be consistent with the orientation of the driving path of the current position of the virtual carrier. Therefore, the control of the player on the virtual carrier can be facilitated, and the running accuracy of the virtual carrier is guaranteed.

Next, an exemplary application of the embodiment of the present application in a practical application scenario will be described.

With the development of the technology and the improvement of the performance of the mobile equipment, the operation direction of the human-computer interface is inevitably developed to a more convenient and efficient control mode, so that a user has a more pleasant human-computer interaction mode. In a mobile phone game, if a player drives a virtual carrier, when the player clicks a left turn key and a right turn key to realize the left turn and the right turn of the virtual carrier, the head of the virtual carrier is turned to be large, so that the rotating amplitude of the virtual carrier is easily deviated greatly, and the virtual carrier is deviated from a normal driving path. In this case, the player often wants to level the driving route of the virtual vehicle by clicking the right steering key quickly after clicking the left steering key. However, in the related art, by clicking the left and right steering keys, the effect of leveling the carrier route cannot be achieved.

Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle control method in a virtual scene, which is a method for implementing a virtual vehicle to quickly straighten a line by adjusting remote sensing in a game application deployed in a mobile terminal. Therefore, when the player drives the virtual carrier, the virtual carrier line straightening operation can be realized by executing the relevant operations aiming at the left and right steering keys, the operation is fast and convenient, and the user experience is better. The straightening of the virtual vehicle line can be regarded as resetting the direction of the virtual vehicle when the direction of the virtual vehicle deviates from the normal driving route of the virtual vehicle.

Taking a terminal as a mobile phone and a virtual scene as a game scene as an example, a player opens a game application deployed in the mobile phone to present a virtual carrier carrying a virtual object. During the running process of the virtual vehicle, the player can control the virtual vehicle to run towards the left side direction by controlling a left steering key in the game interface, and can also control the virtual vehicle to run towards the right side direction by controlling a right steering key in the game interface.

For example, referring to fig. 19, fig. 19 is a schematic view of turning a virtual vehicle provided in the embodiment of the present application, in which a virtual vehicle "boat" carrying a virtual object corresponding to a player is in a driving process, when the player detects that the "boat" needs to turn left, the player may click a left turn key in a game interface, and at this time, the terminal (or the game server) monitors that the left turn key is triggered, and controls the virtual vehicle "boat" to turn left to drive. Then, in practical applications, the virtual vehicle "ship" tends to deviate from a normal driving path in the steering process of the virtual vehicle "ship" due to the large size of the virtual vehicle "ship" and the overall structure of the virtual vehicle "ship".

When the player finds that the orientation of the virtual vehicle "ship" deviates, the direction of the virtual vehicle can be reset or corrected through other operations based on the steering key (the clicking operation of the steering key is a transformation operation for the virtual vehicle, and other operations except the clicking operation, such as pressing, can be used to give other functions to the steering key), so that the virtual vehicle can normally run.

For example, referring to fig. 20, fig. 20 is a schematic view of a virtual vehicle direction resetting manner provided in the embodiment of the present application, in the figure, when a player finds that a virtual vehicle "ship" deviates, the player may press a left (or right) steering key for a long time, when the long press of the long press operation reaches a long time threshold (for example, 2s), a prompt message "move to a car head where the player can straighten" or "move to a car head where the player can perform direction resetting" is presented in a game interface, the player may perform a sliding operation at this time, determine a sliding position of the sliding operation, when the sliding position is in a target area where the direction resetting can be performed, trigger a direction resetting instruction, after receiving the direction resetting instruction for the virtual vehicle, the terminal (or the server) performs direction correction on the virtual vehicle, and performs operation of straightening the virtual vehicle in a corresponding direction (when the virtual vehicle is a car head and a body of the virtual vehicle), keeping the running direction of the virtual vehicle parallel to the road surface.
