Accordingly, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications of the embodiments described herein can be made without departing from the scope of the present disclosure. Also, descriptions of well-known functions and constructions are omitted in the following description for clarity and conciseness.

In the present disclosure, unless otherwise specified, the use of the terms "first", "second", etc. to describe various elements is not intended to limit the positional relationship, the timing relationship, or the importance relationship of the elements, and such terms are used only to distinguish one element from another. In some examples, a first element and a second element may refer to the same instance of the element, and in some cases, based on the context, they may also refer to different instances.

The terminology used in the description of the various described examples in this disclosure is for the purpose of describing the particular examples only and is not intended to be limiting. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, if the number of elements is not specifically limited, the elements may be one or more. Furthermore, the term "and/or" as used in this disclosure is intended to encompass any and all possible combinations of the listed items.

With the continuous enrichment of live broadcast categories, live broadcast is not limited to live broadcast, but a virtual anchor can be generated based on various virtualization technologies and virtual live broadcast is performed based on the virtual anchor. The inventor notices that the virtual live broadcast room created based on the virtualization technology only realizes the main broadcast virtualization and the live broadcast scene virtualization, and the gifts given by the audience users in the live broadcast process are only displayed in a specific gift display area, and the direct broadcast content is not influenced. This will result in less interaction between the audience user and the anchor user, thereby reducing the user's immersion during the live broadcast.

In view of this, embodiments of the present disclosure provide a live broadcast room gift control method, which can simulate interaction between a virtual gift and an avatar of a host user, and expand operability of the virtual gift, so that live broadcast content is more diversified. Therefore, direct interaction between the anchor user and audience users is achieved, the immersion degree of the users in the live broadcast process is improved, and the user use experience of the live broadcast platform is improved. In addition, by providing a vibration effect when simulating the interaction between the virtual gift and the avatar of the anchor user, live content can be enriched from multiple dimensions, further expanding the interactive diversity between audience users and anchor users.

Fig. 2 shows a flow diagram of a live room gift control method 200 applied to a server according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 2, method 200 may include: step S210, receiving one or more gift giving instructions from the audience client; step S220, generating one or more first avatars corresponding to the one or more gift giving instructions; step S230, determining, for each of the one or more first avatars, whether a position of the first avatar overlaps a position of a second avatar of the anchor user; step S240, responding to the situation that the position of the first virtual image is overlapped with the position of a second virtual image of the anchor user, and configuring a first display effect for the second virtual image; and a step S250 of providing the live stream to the anchor client and the viewer client such that the live room is displayed at the anchor client and the viewer client as a live room scene containing the one or more first avatars and a second avatar having a first display effect.

By generating the avatar corresponding to the gift giving instruction and configuring the display effect for the avatar of the anchor user when the avatar overlaps with the avatar of the anchor user, the interaction between the avatar and the anchor user can be simulated, the operability of the avatar is expanded, and the live content is diversified. Furthermore, direct interaction between the virtual anchor and audience users can be realized, and the requirement of the audience users on creation of live content is met, so that the distance between the audience users and the anchor users is effectively increased, and the interaction rate is increased.

It should be understood that the method according to the present disclosure may also be used for a real character displayed in a live broadcast page by a live anchor, that is, when it is determined that the position of the virtual gift character overlaps with the position of the real character displayed in the live broadcast page by the live anchor, configuring a corresponding display effect for the real character, such as a map, an animation effect, and the like corresponding to lacrimation, flushing, a surprise expression, and the like.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method 200 may further comprise: determining, for each of the one or more gift giving instructions, a gift category corresponding to the gift giving instruction; and determining the number of gift giving instructions under each gift category, and wherein the generating of the one or more first avatars corresponding to the one or more gift giving instructions at step S220 may include: for each gift category, in response to determining that the number of gift rendering instructions under the gift category exceeds a predetermined threshold, a first avatar corresponding to the gift category is generated.

According to some embodiments, the gift category may be specific to each live platform, such as rocket, love heart, yacht, and the like. When the same gift-giving instruction is received, the gift class corresponding to the gift-giving instruction may be incremented by 1. When the number of gift-giving instructions under the gift category exceeds a predetermined threshold (e.g., 20, 50, 100, etc.), a corresponding gift avatar is generated. In some examples, the gift avatar may be an avatar that has a higher correspondence to a gift category, such as generating a rocket avatar for a gift category rocket, generating a love-heart avatar for a gift category love-heart, generating a yacht avatar for a yacht gift category, and the like. In other examples, the gift avatar may also be an avatar with a lower correspondence to the gift category, such as a spark avatar generated for a gift category rocket, a cupper avatar generated for a gift category loving, a wave avatar generated for a yacht gift category, and so forth.

According to other embodiments, the number of gift-giving instructions may also be counted without gift classification, and when the number of gift-giving instructions exceeds a predetermined threshold, a corresponding gift avatar is generated.

By setting the gift giving instruction quantity threshold value aiming at each gift category, the display of too many gift avatars on the live broadcast interface can be prevented, and the influence on the live broadcast content due to disorder of the live broadcast interface is avoided.

Fig. 3 shows a flow chart for determining whether a position of a gift avatar overlaps with a position of a anchor avatar according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 3, the step of determining whether the position of the first avatar overlaps with the position of the second avatar of the anchor user for each of the one or more first avatars S230 may include: step S310, determining the motion track of the first virtual image according to a first preset configuration; and step S320, determining whether the motion track of the first avatar is overlapped with the position of the second avatar of the anchor user. Therefore, any motion track which accords with the preference of the anchor user or audience user can be configured for the virtual gift, and the interestingness of live broadcast content is enhanced while the user immersion degree in the live broadcast process is improved.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first preset configuration may include a movement speed of the one or more first avatars. For example, the moving speed of each gift avatar may be set to be constant to display the gift avatars moving at a uniform speed with the moving trajectory being a straight line.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first preset configuration may include a motion acceleration of the one or more first avatars. For example, the motion acceleration of each gift avatar may be set to the gravity acceleration to generate a motion trajectory having a free-fall characteristic.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first preset configuration may include a movement direction of the one or more first avatars. For example, the direction of movement of each gift avatar may be set to be toward the anchor user's avatar to simulate the animation effect of the gift avatar pounding against the anchor user's avatar.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first preset configuration may include a starting position of the one or more first avatars. For example, the starting position of the gift avatar may be any position such as the top, bottom, left side, or right side of the live interface. For another example, after obtaining the starting position of the gift avatar, the movement trace of the gift avatar may also be controlled by configuring the movement acceleration for the gift avatar. For example, the acceleration may be the acceleration of gravity of the earth, and the gift avatar has the property of falling freely on the earth, and the motion trajectory is a falling motion trajectory. The acceleration may also be the acceleration of gravity of the moon, and the gift avatar has the characteristic of moving on the moon, and the movement trajectory is also the falling movement trajectory. And the acceleration can be zero, so that the gift virtual image has the characteristic of weightlessness, and the motion track is a floating motion track.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first preset configuration may include a target position of one or more first avatars. For example, the target position of the gift avatar may be the avatar of the anchor user to simulate the animation effect of the gift avatar pounding onto the avatar of the anchor user.

Through the first preset configuration, customized movement tracks can be configured for each gift virtual image, so that the diversity of display effects of the live broadcast room is enriched. For example, the gift avatar can be moved in the virtual scene of the live broadcast room according to the actual requirement, such as horizontal movement, diagonal movement and the like, so as to further expand the operability of the virtual gift. It should be understood that although the above examples are shown separately for illustrative and non-limiting purposes, they may be combined in any manner, for example, the first preset configuration may include one or more of a moving speed, a moving acceleration, a moving direction, a starting position, and a target position of the one or more first avatars.

According to further embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration of the target position, direction of movement of the gift avatar by the viewer user may also be received from the viewer client.

Fig. 4 shows a flow chart for determining whether a motion trajectory of a gift avatar overlaps with a position of an avatar of a anchor user according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 4, the step of determining whether the motion trajectory of the first avatar overlaps with the position of the second avatar of the anchor user at step S320 may include: step S410, generating corresponding collision bodies for the first virtual image and the second virtual image respectively; step S420 of determining one or more first coordinates of the contour of the collision volume corresponding to the first avatar; step S430, determining one or more second coordinates of the contour of the collision volume corresponding to the second avatar; and step S440 of determining that the motion trajectory of the first avatar overlaps the position of the second avatar in response to determining that at least one of the one or more first coordinates is the same as at least one of the one or more second coordinates.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a Unity engine may be utilized to generate a respective collision volume for each of the gift avatar and the anchor user's avatar. For example, a collision volume corresponding to the gift avatar may be set as a sphere with the Unity engine, in which case the coordinates of the outline of the spherical collision volume may be determined based on the center of the sphere and the radius of the sphere. For another example, a collision volume corresponding to the gift avatar may be set as a cylinder with the Unity engine, in which case the coordinates of the outline of the cylinder collision volume may be determined based on the radius and height. For another example, a collision volume corresponding to the avatar of the anchor user may be set to an ellipsoid with the Unity engine, in which case the coordinates of the outline of the ellipsoid collision volume may be determined based on the focal point, major axis and minor axis.

Fig. 5 shows

collision volumes

530 and 540 generated for a gift avatar 510 and an avatar 520 of an anchor user, respectively, under a 2D scene. As shown in fig. 5, the collision volume 530 of the gift avatar 510 may have the outline of a cylinder and the collision volume 540 of the avatar 520 may have the outline of an ellipsoid. When the gift avatar 510 moves along the motion trajectory, if any one point coordinate on the outline of the collision volume 530 is the same as any one point coordinate on the outline of the collision volume 540, it may be determined that the motion trajectory of the gift avatar overlaps with the position of the avatar of the anchor user.

By generating corresponding collision bodies for each gift avatar and the avatar of the anchor user, a collision effect can be triggered when the motion trail of the gift avatar overlaps with the position of the avatar of the anchor user, so that direct interaction between the anchor user and the audience user can be realized according to the characteristics of the collision bodies. In addition, based on the characteristics of the collision volumes of the gift avatar and the anchor user avatar, a variety of collision effects may be conveniently implemented for display.

It should be appreciated that the respective collision volumes may also be generated for each of the gift avatar and the anchor user's avatar by other suitable methods, and are not limited to the Unity engine in the above example. It should also be understood that the collision volume of the gift avatar and the collision volume of the anchor user's avatar in 2D mode are shown in fig. 5 for illustrative purposes only, but in actual operation, the collision volumes are implemented in 3D mode. The anchor user can adjust the display effect by switching the 2D mode (e.g., orthogonal mode) or the 3D mode (e.g., perspective mode) of the camera. Furthermore, no collision volumes generated for the gift avatar and the avatar of the anchor user are displayed in the live interface. It should also be appreciated that the 2D or 3D gift avatar model and anchor user avatar model may also be generated by other suitable algorithms such that when the contours of both overlap, a corresponding collision effect is triggered.

Fig. 6 illustrates a flow chart for configuring display effects for an avatar of a anchor user when a gift avatar overlaps with a position of the anchor user's avatar according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 6, the configuring of the first display effect for the second avatar of the anchor user at step S240 in response to determining that the position of the first avatar overlaps with the position of the second avatar may include: step S610, determining one or more first control parameters associated with the first display effect; step S620, determining one or more second control parameters associated with a second display effect, wherein the second display effect is associated with a currently captured action of the anchor user, and the action includes an expressive action and/or a physical action; step S630, determining, for each of the one or more first control parameters, whether the first control parameter corresponds to one or more second control parameters; step S640, in response to determining that the first control parameter corresponds to any of the one or more second control parameters: assigning a first weight to the first control parameter and a second weight to a corresponding second control parameter; and configuring a first display effect and a second display effect according to the first control parameter and the first weight thereof, and the corresponding second control parameter and the second weight thereof.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first display effect may include, but is not limited to, lacrimation, blush, surprised expression, and the like, and accordingly, the first control parameter may include, but is not limited to, a lacrimation parameter, a blush parameter, an eye size parameter, and the like.

According to some embodiments, face capture techniques may be utilized to capture any action of a anchor user, such as squinting, laughing, and the like, and based thereon control the avatar of the anchor user to achieve various display effects. The second display effect may be the same as the first display effect or may be different from the first display effect. For example, the second display effect may include tearing, flushing, surprise, forward leaning of the body, falling, and the like. Accordingly, the second control parameter may be the same as the first control parameter, or may be different from the first control parameter. For example, the second control parameter may include a lacrimation parameter, a blush parameter, an eye size parameter, a body tilt angle parameter, and the like.

It should be understood that the above examples are shown for illustrative purposes only and are not limiting, and that the first control parameter and the second control parameter may also be a combination of two or more thereof, and the scope of the present disclosure is not limited in this respect.

According to some embodiments, the first control parameter is determined to correspond to the second control parameter (i.e. the first display effect conflicts with the second display effect) if the characteristics of the avatar of the anchor user (i.e. the body part) controlled by the first control parameter are the same as the characteristics of the avatar of the anchor user controlled by the second control parameter. In some examples, the first display effect is the same as the second display effect (e.g., both are squinting), in which case both control the eyes of the avatar of the anchor user, the first control parameter may be determined to correspond to the second control parameter. In other examples, the first display effect is different from the second display effect (e.g., the first display effect is glancing eye, but the second display effect associated with the currently captured action of the anchor user is squinting), in which case both control the eyes of the avatar of the anchor user, and the first control parameter may be determined to correspond to the second control parameter even though the first display effect is different from the second display effect. How to assign weights to the first control parameter and the second control parameter in this case and configure the first display effect and the second display effect based thereon is described in detail below.

When the gift avatar overlaps with the avatar of the anchor user and the first control parameter corresponds to any one of the second control parameters, different priority combinations for the display results can be obtained by setting weight values for the first control parameter and the second control parameter, so that different display results are obtained, and the interaction diversity between the anchor user and the audience user is expanded.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, with continued reference to fig. 6, the step S240, in response to determining that the position of the first avatar overlaps with the position of a second avatar of the anchor user, configuring a first display effect for the second avatar may further include: step S650, in response to determining that the first control parameter does not correspond to any of the one or more second control parameters: configuring a first display effect according to the first control parameter; and configuring a second display effect according to the one or more second control parameters.

According to some embodiments, if it is determined that the first display effect is a map effect, it may be determined that the first control parameter does not correspond to any of the second control parameters (i.e., the first display effect does not conflict with the second display effect). For example, the first display effect is tearing in a map effect, and since the map effect does not involve control over the body part characteristics of the avatar of the anchor user, it may be determined that the first control parameter controlling the first display effect does not correspond to any of the second control parameters. In this case, the tearing effect may be displayed in a map manner according to the corresponding first control parameter, and the corresponding second display effect may be configured for simultaneous display according to the second control parameter. For example, the avatar of the anchor user displays the lacrimation map effect and squinting expressions simultaneously.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method 200 may further comprise: in response to determining that the first control parameter corresponds to any of the one or more second control parameters, determining whether the first display effect associated with the first control parameter and the first display effect associated with the corresponding second control parameter are capable of being superimposed, and wherein assigning a first weight to the first control parameter and a second weight to the corresponding second control parameter in step S640 may include: in response to determining that a first display effect associated with the first control parameter and a second display effect associated with a corresponding second control parameter cannot be superimposed, setting the first weight to 1 and the second weight to 0.

In some embodiments, if the first control parameter corresponds to one or more second control parameters and the first display effect is a display effect that completely changes the expression and/or action of the avatar of the anchor user, it may be determined that the first display effect and the second display effect cannot be superimposed. Accordingly, the first display effect may be configured and displayed in accordance with the first control parameter while foregoing configuring the second display effect associated with the currently captured expression and/or action of the anchor user. In other embodiments, if the first control parameter corresponds to one or more second control parameters and the first display effect is different from the second display effect, it may be determined that the two cannot be superimposed. For example, if the first display effect is a surprise glaring effect in "collision effect" and the second display effect is determined to be a squinting effect because the action currently captured to the anchor user is squinting, it may be determined that the first display effect and the second display effect cannot be superimposed.

In some embodiments, if the first control parameter corresponds to one or more second control parameters, it may be determined that the expression and/or action corresponding to the first display effect may be superimposed by determining that the expression and/or action corresponding to the first display effect is the same as the expression and/or action corresponding to the second display effect. For example, if it is determined that the expression and/or the motion corresponding to the first display effect belong to the first category and it is determined that the expression and/or the motion corresponding to the second display effect also belong to the first category, it may be determined that the first display effect and the second display effect may be superimposed. For example, if the first display effect corresponds to a low head in the action category, and it is determined that the second display effect also corresponds to a low head in the action category because the current capture is that of the anchor user, it may be determined that the first display effect and the second display effect may be superimposed.

By setting a weight value larger than the second display effect for the first display effect when the first display effect and the second display effect cannot be superimposed, a higher priority can be given to the 'collision effect', so that the 'collision effect' is preferentially displayed compared with the display effect determined according to the currently captured action of the anchor user, the interaction between the virtual gift and the avatar of the anchor user is more truly simulated, and the immersion of the audience user on the live content is improved.

According to further embodiments of the present disclosure, the assigning of the first weight to the first control parameter and the assigning of the second weight to the corresponding second control parameter in step S640 may further include: in response to determining that the first display effect associated with the first control parameter and the second display effect associated with the corresponding second control parameter are capable of being superimposed, the first weight and the second weight are set to arbitrary values, for example, the first weight and the second weight are set to 50%, the first weight is set to 30%, and the second weight is set to 70%, and so on.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method 200 for controlling a gift of a live broadcast room may further include: acquiring the display duration of the first display effect; and wherein configuring the first display effect and the second display effect for display according to the first control parameter and the first weight thereof, and the corresponding second control parameter and the second weight thereof in step S640 may comprise: in response to determining that a first display effect associated with the first control parameter and a second display effect associated with a corresponding second control parameter cannot be superimposed, during a display duration: configuring a first display effect according to the first control parameter; and forgoing configuring the second display effect; and in response to determining that a first display effect associated with the first control parameter and a second display effect associated with a corresponding second control parameter are capable of being superimposed, during a display duration: and superposing the first display effect and the second display effect according to the first control parameter and the corresponding second control parameter.

In some examples, as described above, the first display effect is a glaring effect of "collision effect" and the second display effect is determined to be an example of a squinting effect because the action currently capturing the anchor user is squinting, since the weight assigned to the first control parameter is 1 and the weight assigned to the second control parameter is 0, the second display effect (i.e., the squinting effect) will be forgotten to be displayed while only the first display effect (i.e., the glaring effect) is displayed.

In other examples, as an example where the first display effect is a heads-down effect in the "impact effect" and the second display effect is also a heads-down effect as determined by the current capture of the action of the anchor user as heads-down, the heads-down control parameter associated with the first display effect is, for example, 50%, and the heads-down control parameter associated with the second display effect is, for example, 25%, then the first display effect and the second display effect may be superimposed in conjunction with these heads-down control parameters and their corresponding weights, for example, in a case where the weight of the heads-down control parameter associated with the first display effect is 50% and the weight of the heads-down control parameter associated with the second display effect is also 50%, a configuration of a heads-down effect of 75% with respect to the normal state heads-down level may be obtained.

Therefore, the interaction between the gift virtual image and the virtual image of the anchor user and the current expression action or body action of the anchor user can be comprehensively considered, so that the animation effect is more real. Meanwhile, the interaction diversity between the anchor user and the audience user can be expanded, and the immersion of the audience user on the live content is further improved.

Fig. 7 schematically illustrates a display effect configured for the avatar 720 of the anchor user on the live interface 700 when the position of the gift avatar 710 overlaps with the position of the avatar 720 of the anchor user. As shown in fig. 7, the display effect may be a surprise expression 730. It should be understood that the display effects configured for the avatar of the anchor user may include eye masquerading, body tilt, squinting, anger, etc., in addition to the example shown in fig. 7. In addition, in order to further enhance the audience user's sense of immersion in live content, it is also possible to play an associated sound effect, such as a sound of "hello" or the like, while displaying an animation effect of the avatar of the anchor user.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method for controlling a gift of a live broadcast room may further include: determining whether a motion trajectory of another first avatar identical to the first avatar is overlapped with a position of a second avatar during a display time period; in response to determining that a motion trajectory of another first avatar identical to the first avatar overlaps with a position of a second avatar, a display duration is increased.

The server may continue to receive gift-giving instructions transmitted by the viewer client during the display period. Accordingly, it is possible to receive the same gift-giving instruction transmitted by the viewer client as the gift-giving instruction corresponding to the currently displayed gift avatar, or the number of the same gift-giving instructions exceeds a predetermined threshold, and generate the same gift avatar for display. In this case, if the motion trajectory of the newly generated gift avatar overlaps with the position of the anchor user's avatar again, the display time period of the first display effect configured for the anchor user's avatar may be increased. For example, with continued reference to fig. 7, when the positions of the gift avatar 710 (pineapple) and the anchor avatar 720 overlap, the anchor avatar 720 is configured with a surprise expression as an animation effect and displayed during the display duration. When another gift avatar pineapple is newly generated and collides with the head of the anchor avatar 720, the duration of the surprised expression may be extended (e.g., extending the display duration from 5 seconds to 10 seconds) without having to wait for the facial action of the anchor avatar to resume before reconfiguring the surprised expression again.

Therefore, the diversity of the display effect of the live broadcast room is further enriched, the reaction of the anchor user to the gifts given by the audience users is more real, and the interestingness of the live broadcast content is increased.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, assigning a first weight to the first control parameter and assigning a second weight to the corresponding second control parameter in step S640 may further include: the first weight is gradually decreased and the second weight is gradually increased for a predetermined period of time after the display period. By gradually decreasing the first weight and gradually increasing the second weight during the transition, the priority of the "collision effect" may be adjusted, simulating a transition animation effect in which the avatar of the anchor user is restored from an animation effect due to the "collision" to an animation effect based on the currently captured action of the anchor user.

According to some embodiments, the predetermined period of time may be any period of time, such as 3 seconds, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc., and the scope of the claimed disclosure is not limited in this respect.

According to some embodiments, if a first display effect associated with the first control parameter and a second display effect associated with a corresponding second control parameter cannot be superimposed, during the predetermined period of time, when the first weight decreases to less than the second weight, the configuration of the first display effect is abandoned and the second display effect is configured for display according to the corresponding second control parameter. As an example of the first display effect being a surprise glaring effect and the second display effect being an squint effect as described above, and thus determining that superimposition cannot be performed, the weight assigned to the first control parameter will gradually decrease from 1, and the weight assigned to the second control parameter will gradually increase from 0. When the weight assigned to the first control parameter is reduced to be less than the weight assigned to the second control parameter, the first display effect (i.e., the glaring effect) is abandoned and only the second display effect (i.e., the squint effect) is displayed, so that the real reaction of the anchor user to the 'collision' is simulated.

According to further embodiments, if a first display effect associated with the first control parameter and a second display effect associated with a corresponding second control parameter are capable of being superimposed, the first display effect and the second display effect are superimposed for display according to the first control parameter and a first weight thereof, and the corresponding second control parameter and a second weight thereof during a predetermined period of time. As an example of the first display effect being a heads-down effect in the "impact effect" as described above and the second display effect being determined to be also a heads-down effect due to the current capture of the action of the anchor user being a head-down, and thus determining that the first display effect and the second display effect can be superimposed, the head-down control parameter associated with the first display effect is, for example, 50%, and the head-down control parameter associated with the second display effect is, for example, 25%, then the first display effect and the second display effect can be superimposed in combination with these head-down control parameters and their corresponding weights. For example, in the case where the weight of the heads-down control parameter associated with the first display effect is 50% and the weight of the heads-down control parameter associated with the second display effect is also 50%, a configuration of the heads-down effect of 75% with respect to the normal state heads-down level may be obtained.

Along with the change of the priority of the collision effect, the interaction between the virtual image of the main broadcast user and the virtual image of the gift can be simulated more really, and the immersion of the audience user on the live broadcast is enhanced.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the method for controlling a gift of a live broadcast room may further include: after a predetermined period of time, a third display effect different from the first display effect and the second display effect is configured for the second avatar.

According to some embodiments, the third display effect may comprise any expressive or physical action of the avatar of the anchor user. For example, fig. 8 schematically illustrates configuring another different display effect for the avatar of the anchor user on the live interface 800 after stopping displaying the gift avatar. As shown in fig. 8, the avatar 810 of the anchor user changes from the surprised expression 730 in fig. 7 to the sweaty expression 820 and the red face expression 830 and is also configured with a tie-pulling action 840.

After the 'collision effect' is finished, the interaction diversity between the audience user and the anchor user can be further expanded by configuring another different display effect for the avatar of the anchor user. Meanwhile, a more real virtual live scene is created for audience users.

According to some embodiments of the disclosure, the first display effect is determined according to a first preset configuration.

For example, if the starting position of the gift avatar is determined to be further from the avatar of the anchor user (e.g., above a preset threshold) according to a first preset configuration, the first display effect may be set to lacrimation and squinting. If the starting position of the gift avatar is determined to be closer to the anchor user's avatar according to a first preset configuration (e.g., less than the preset threshold), the first display effect may be set to tearing only.

Similarly, if the movement speed of the gift avatar is determined to be large (e.g., exceeding a preset threshold) according to the first preset configuration, the first display effect may be set to be a glaring and body tilt. If the movement speed of the gift avatar is determined to be small (e.g., less than the preset threshold) according to the first preset configuration, the first display effect may be set to be only glaring.

It should be understood that the above examples are shown for illustrative purposes only, and the corresponding first display effect may also be determined according to the first preset configuration including, for example, the motion acceleration, the motion direction, the target position, and the like of the gift avatar.

The display effect of the avatar of the anchor user is determined according to the first preset configuration of the motion information indicating the virtual gift avatar, so that the interactive reality and interestingness between the virtual gift and the anchor user are further enhanced, and further the viscosity of audience users to live content is favorably increased.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a motion trajectory of the gift avatar may also be changed in response to determining that the position of the gift avatar overlaps with the position of the anchor user's avatar. For example, if the motion trajectory is a falling motion trajectory and the gift avatar having a free-fall characteristic collides with the head of the avatar of the anchor user during the falling, in such a scenario, the gift avatar may be displayed on the live interface to deviate from the original motion trajectory due to the collision, for example, to lean to one side and present a bounce effect (associated with the current speed, acceleration, etc. of the gift avatar), and then continue the free-fall. If the subsequent free fall continues to be overlapped and collided with the outline of the virtual image of the main broadcasting user, the motion track of the virtual image of the gift can be further changed until the bottom of the live broadcasting interface is reached.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, a display effect may also be configured for the gift avatar in response to determining that the position of the gift avatar overlaps with the position of the anchor user's avatar. With continued reference to fig. 7, there is schematically illustrated the display effect of an impinging spark configured for the gift avatar 710 when the position of the gift avatar 710 overlaps with the position of the anchor user's avatar 720. It should be understood that the display effects configured for the gift avatar may include effects such as cracking of the gift avatar, firing a colored light spot, and the like, in addition to the example shown in fig. 7. In addition, to further enhance the audience user's sense of immersion in live content, associated sound effects, such as sounds of collisions or explosion, etc., may also be played while the animation effect of the gift avatar is displayed.

Through the display effect that corresponds or change its motion trajectory for the configuration of present avatar when the position of present avatar overlaps with the position of anchor user's avatar, can be comparatively real simulation collision effect, satisfy audience user's the creation to the live content, promote audience user to the participation sense of live. The method can improve the immersion degree of the users in the live broadcast process and can also increase the live broadcast interest, thereby enhancing the viscosity of the live broadcast content to audience users.

It should be appreciated that each of the two operations described above may be performed separately or may be performed simultaneously when the position of the gift avatar overlaps with the position of the anchor user's avatar.

Fig. 9 shows a flow diagram of another live room gift control method 900 applied to a server according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in fig. 9, method 900 may include: step S910, receiving one or more gift giving instructions from the audience client; step S920 of generating one or more first avatars corresponding to the one or more gift-giving instructions; step S930, determining, for each of the one or more first avatars, whether a position of the first avatar overlaps a position of a second avatar of the anchor user; and step S940 of providing configuration information associated with the vibration effect to the anchor client and the spectator client in response to determining that the position of the first avatar overlaps with the position of the second avatar of the anchor user.

Live content can be enriched from multiple dimensions by configuring a vibration effect for a 'collision effect', so that the interaction diversity between audience users and anchor users is further expanded. Meanwhile, a more real virtual live scene is created for audience users.

It should be understood that the above-described live room gift control method according to the present disclosure may also be used for a real character displayed in a live page by a live anchor, i.e., configuring configuration information associated with a vibration effect upon determining that a position of the gift avatar overlaps a position of the real character displayed in the live page by the live anchor.

It should also be understood that the operations, features, elements, etc. contained in steps S910, S920, and S930 of the live room gift control method 900 described above may correspond to the operations, features, elements, etc. contained in corresponding steps S210, S220, and S230 of the live room gift control method 200, and have been described with reference to fig. 2-4 and 6. Thus, the advantages described above with respect to these steps in the live room gift control method 200 are equally applicable to the corresponding steps in the live room gift control method 900. Certain operations, features and advantages may not be described in detail herein for the sake of brevity.

According to some embodiments, upon determining, via the server, that the position of the gift avatar overlaps with the position of the anchor user's avatar, the determination may be transmitted to the anchor client, and a shock start instruction may be generated via the anchor client. The shock onset instruction may then be transmitted by a live streaming tool (e.g., OBS software) to the server as a whole along with the live stream (video stream). And when receiving the vibration starting instruction and the whole live stream, the server demodulates the vibration starting instruction from the vibration starting instruction and provides vibration parameters associated with the vibration effect for each client supporting the vibration effect. For example, if the client is a mobile phone, vibration of the mobile phone may be triggered, and if the client is a tablet computer, a notebook computer, or the like, vibration of the handle may be triggered when it is detected that the client is connected to an input device such as a handle.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information associated with the vibration effect may include a preset duration for the one or more first avatars. For example, the duration of the vibration effect may be configured by the anchor client, the viewer client, or the live platform default duration. For example, the live platform default shake duration may be 1 frame (60 milliseconds) or the like each time the gift avatar "collides" with the anchor user's avatar. When the duration is over, the shock complete instruction may again be transmitted by the live push tool (e.g., OBS software) to the server along with the live stream (video stream) as a whole. And when receiving the vibration ending instruction and the whole live stream, the server demodulates the vibration ending instruction and informs each client supporting the vibration effect to end the vibration effect.

According to further embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information associated with the vibration effect may include a preset vibration force level for the one or more first avatars to determine the vibration effect. For example, the vibration strength of the vibration effect can be configured by the anchor client and the audience client, and the vibration strength of the vibration effect can also be configured as the default vibration strength of the live platform. For example, the shake force of the live platform default may be 10% intensity, etc. each time the gift avatar "collides" with the anchor user's avatar.

In some examples, the shock effect may be provided via left and right motors in the client device or an external input device (e.g., a handle, etc.) of the client device. In this case, the configuration information associated with the vibration effect may further include information indicating that the left motor vibrates, the right motor vibrates, or both the left and right motors vibrate simultaneously, and the corresponding vibration strength.

According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the configuration information associated with the shock effect may be determined based on a preset configuration, wherein the preset configuration comprises one or more of: a starting position, a target position, a movement speed, a movement acceleration, and a movement direction of the one or more first avatars. In some examples, the vibration effect may be determined based on a starting position of one or more first avatars included in the first preset configuration. For example, if the starting location is farther from the location of the avatar of the anchor user, a longer duration and greater shock strength may be configured. In other examples, the vibration effect may be determined based on a movement speed of one or more first avatars included in the first preset configuration. For example, if the movement speed is greater, a longer duration and a greater shock strength may be configured. In still other examples, the shake effect may be determined based on a motion acceleration of one or more first avatars included in the first preset configuration. For example, if the motion acceleration is large, a longer duration and a larger shock force can be configured. In still other examples, the vibration effect may also be determined based on two or more of the start position, the movement velocity, and the movement acceleration described above.

The configuration information associated with the vibration effect is determined through preset configuration, if the duration is preset and the vibration effect is preset, the specific vibration effect can be configured for the collision effect every time and the vibration effect is associated with the virtual gift image, so that the sense of reality of audience users to the live broadcast room is increased, and the interactive diversity of the live broadcast room is further enriched.

Certain operations, features and advantages may not be described in detail herein for the sake of brevity.

It should be understood that the operations, features, elements, etc. included in the various steps of the live room gift control method 1100 may correspond to the operations, features, elements, etc. included in the various steps of the live room gift control method 900 and have been described with reference to fig. 9. Thus, the advantages described above for the live room gift control method 900 apply equally to the live room gift control method 1100. Certain operations, features and advantages may not be described in detail herein for the sake of brevity.
