Fig. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method of playing sound effects according to some embodiments. As shown in fig. 1, an embodiment of the present disclosure provides an audio playing method, which may be executed by an electronic device, and in particular, may be executed by an audio playing apparatus, where the apparatus may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and configured in the electronic device. As shown in fig. 1, the method may include the following steps.

In step 110, a current beat point of background music played by the virtual scene is determined.

Here, the Virtual scene is a scene presented by the electronic device, and the Virtual scene may be a game scene (such as a two-dimensional game scene, a three-dimensional game scene, etc.) or a Virtual Reality (VR) scene. Background music played by a virtual scene is accompaniment music in the virtual scene and is used for creating rhythms and moods of the corresponding virtual scene. For example, in a music rhythm type game, each level has different background music through which a player can play a beat. For another example, in a running game, each level may have different background music to create a strenuous running experience with the background music.

The current beat point of the background music refers to a music beat point corresponding to the background music currently played by the virtual scene. The music beat refers to a combination rule of strong beat and weak beat, and specifically refers to the total length of notes of each bar in a music score. For example, beats typically have 1/4 beat, 2/4 beat, 3/4 beat, 4/4 beat, 3/8 beat, 6/8 beat, 7/8 beat, 9/8 beat, 12/8 beat, and so forth. Taking 3/4 beat as an example, 3/4 beat takes the score of 4 notes as one beat, 3 beats per bar can have 3 score of 4 notes, and the specific music rhythm is strong-weak. Moreover, the beat time length corresponding to each beat is related to the beat rate of the background music. For example, in the case where the tempo of the background music is 60BPM and the number of beats is 1/4, it means that 60 notes of 4 minutes appear per minute, the beat length of one note of 4 minutes is 1 second, and in the case where the tempo of the background music is 120BPM and the number of beats is 1/4, it means that 120 notes of 4 minutes appear per minute, the beat length of one note of 4 minutes is 1/2 second.

In the process of playing background music, the electronic equipment determines a beat point to be the current beat point every time the electronic equipment plays to one beat point of the background music.

In step 120, if the sound effect playing event is triggered within the time range corresponding to the current beat point, the target note corresponding to the sound effect playing event is determined according to the target note sequence.

Here, the time range of the current beat point refers to the beat time length corresponding to the current beat point. Taking background music with 3/4 beats and 60BPM beats as an example, 3/4 beats take 4 minute notes as one beat, one bar comprises 3 beats, 60BPM means that 60 minute notes appear in one minute, and the beat time of one minute note is 1 second. Thus, the beat length corresponding to each node is correlated with the beat rate of the background music.

If the sound effect playing event is triggered within the time range corresponding to the current beat point, the electronic equipment responds to the sound effect playing event and determines the corresponding target notes according to the target note sequence. The sound effect playing event is used for indicating the electronic equipment to play the target notes corresponding to the sound effect playing event so as to bring event feedback to the player through the target notes.

For example, an audio play event may be triggered by a virtual character in a virtual scene contacting a target virtual item in the virtual scene. For example, in a cool class game, a game player may trigger a sound play event by controlling a virtual character to contact a gold in a virtual scene. Of course, the sound effect playing event may also be triggered by releasing a game skill in the virtual scene or by triggering a target control in the virtual scene. For example, in a music tempo type game, a player may trigger a sound effect play event by clicking on a note in a virtual scene.

Wherein, the target notes corresponding to the sound effect playing event can be determined according to the target note sequence. A plurality of notes determined based on the background music may be included in the target note sequence, and a target note is determined among the plurality of notes in the target note sequence each time an audio play event is triggered.

In step 130, the target note is played.

Here, the electronic device may control the audio engine to play the target note. Wherein the target note may be played at the time the sound effect play event is triggered.

It should be appreciated that since the target note is determined from the target note sequence in response to the sound effect playing event within the time range of the current beat point of the background music played in the virtual scene, and the target note is played, the playing timing of the target note can be made within the time range of the current beat point. I.e. the play of the target note is related to the current beat point of the background music, so that the target note remains harmonically harmonious with the background music.

For example, in a cool game, a game player may trigger an audio play event by controlling a virtual character to contact a medal in a virtual scene, the audio play event being used to instruct playing of a medal sound, and the electronic device playing the medal sound at a current beat point of background music in response to the audio play event, so that the medal sound can be musically harmonious with the background music.

Therefore, by determining the current beat point of the background music played in the virtual scene and determining the target note corresponding to the sound effect playing event according to the target note sequence and playing the target note if the sound effect playing event is triggered in the time range of the current beat point, the playing of the target note is enabled to be consistent with each beat point of the background music, and accordingly harmony between the target note and the background music is guaranteed, and better game sound effect experience is brought to game players.

In some implementations, in step 120, a target note corresponding to the audio playing event may be determined according to a pre-configured target note sequence, where the target note is a next note in the target note sequence determined according to the last triggered audio playing event.

Here, the target note sequence includes a plurality of notes determined based on background music. Wherein a plurality of notes can be determined from the pitch of the background music, the pitch of the music formed by the plurality of notes in sequence remaining in harmony with the pitch of the background music. For example, the target note sequence may be [ do, re, mi, do, re, mi ].

In some embodiments, one note sequence may be determined from a plurality of pre-configured note sequences as the target note sequence. Wherein the plurality of preconfigured note sequences are determined based on background music played by the virtual scene. It should be appreciated that for different virtual scenes, the plurality of preconfigured note sequences corresponding to different virtual scenes may be different due to the different background music being played. Of course, in the case where the tones of the background music played in different virtual scenes are similar, the note sequences between the different virtual scenes can be shared.

The target note determined in the pre-configured target note sequence may be a next note in the target note sequence determined according to the last triggered sound effect playing event. For example, the target note sequence is [ do, re, mi, do, re, mi ], and if the note determined in the target note sequence by the last triggered sound effect playing event is the first "do" note, the target note corresponding to the sound effect playing event corresponding to the current beat point is the first "re" note. It should be noted that, if the note determined in the target note sequence by the last triggered sound effect playing event is the second "re" note, the target note corresponding to the sound effect playing event corresponding to the current beat point is the first "do" note.

It should be appreciated that since the target note sequence includes a plurality of notes determined based on the background music, by sequentially selecting the target notes in the target note sequence according to the audio play event, the plurality of sequentially played target notes can be made to form a complete phrase that can be, in the music theory, harmonically maintained with the background music. For example, in the running game, the target note sequence is [ do, re, mi, do, re, mi ], when the virtual character touches 2 gold coins at the first beat point, touches 3 gold coins at the second beat point, touches 5 gold coins at the third beat point, and the corresponding target notes are the first "do" note, the first "re" note, and the first "mi" note, respectively, then the three target notes can constitute a phrase of [ do, re, mi ], so as to keep harmony with the background music on the music theory.

Therefore, by determining the target notes according to the pre-configured target note sequence, the notes which are sequentially played can be kept harmonious on the music theory, and better game sound effect experience is brought to game players.

In some implementations, in step 130, the target note may be played according to the trigger time of the sound effect playing event.

Here, in the time range of the current beat point, if the sound effect playing event is triggered, the target note may be played at the trigger time of triggering the sound effect playing event. For example, the time point corresponding to the current beat point is 11:20:38, and the beat time length corresponding to each beat of the background music is 1/4 second, if the sound effect playing event is triggered at the time of 11:20:38.20 in the time range of 11:20:38-11:20:38.25, the target note is played at the time of 11:20:38.20.

Therefore, by playing the target notes at the trigger time of the sound effect playing event, timely game feedback can be brought to the game player, and the game player can have good game experience.

It should be noted that, in the time range of the current beat point, only one audio play event may be triggered. Accordingly, the target note is played only once within the time range of the current beat point. For example, in the time range of 11:20:38-11:20:38.25, no matter how many sound effect playing events are triggered, only the target notes corresponding to the sound effect playing event triggered for the first time are played. Taking the running game as an example, no matter how many times the virtual characters touch the gold coins in the virtual scene or the number of gold coins contacted at the same time each time in the time range of 11:20:38-11:20:38.25, the gold coin sound can be played once at the moment of contacting the gold coins for the first time in one beat point of the background music, so that the gold coins can be played at the beat point of the background music, and the target notes and the background music can be kept harmonious on the music through playing the gold coin sound only once.

In some implementations, the trigger audio play event may be determined when a virtual character in the virtual scene contacts a target virtual object in the virtual scene, where the trigger audio play event is triggered once within a time range corresponding to one beat point.

Here, the virtual character in the virtual scene may be a game character operated by a game player, and the target virtual article may refer to a virtual article having a bonus effect in the virtual scene. Taking a running game as an example, the target virtual object may be a virtual object such as a gold coin and/or a box, and in a game, the score of the game player in the game may be calculated based on the gold coin and/or box obtained by the game player.

And determining triggering sound effect playing events under the condition that the virtual characters in the virtual scene contact the target virtual objects in the virtual scene, wherein the sound effect playing events are used for indicating the sound effects that the playing virtual characters contact the target virtual objects.

It should be noted that, in the time range of one beat point, one audio play event is triggered. For example, the time point corresponding to the current beat point is 11:20:38, the time range corresponding to the current beat point is 11:20:38-11:20:38.25, if the virtual character touches the target virtual object in the virtual scene for the first time at the time of 11:20:38.20, the sound effect playing event is determined to be triggered so as to play the target note at the time of 11:20:38.20, and even if the virtual character touches the target virtual object in the virtual scene again at the time of 11:20:38.22, the sound effect playing event is not triggered any more so as to ensure that the target note is played only once within the time range of one beat point.

Therefore, by triggering one sound effect playing event in the time range of one beat point, only one target note can be played in the time range of one beat point, and accordingly harmony between the target note and background music can be guaranteed.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an audio playback method according to further embodiments. As shown in fig. 2, in some embodiments that may be implemented, the audio playback method may include the following steps.

In step 210, the current beat point sent by the audio engine is received by the target module of the game engine, wherein the audio engine is configured to send one beat point to the target module every time the audio engine plays to background music.

Here, in the process of playing background music, each time the audio engine of the game plays to one beat point of the background music, the beat point is sent to the target module of the game engine. The target module of the game engine receives the current beat point sent by the audio engine. It should be understood that the goal module of the game engine refers to a module in the game engine for setting up game rules and tracking progress of the game and the player. For example, in the case where the game engine is the illusion engine 5, the target module may be a game play module.

For example, the audio engine may send a message to the target module of the game engine every time a beat point of the background music is played back by means of callback, so as to notify the target module of the game engine that a new beat point has been played back according to the message.

It should be noted that, the audio engine sends the current beat point to the target module of the game engine, so as to inform the target module to determine whether the target note needs to be played at the current beat point.

In step 220, by the target module, detecting a virtual scene within a time range of the current beat point, and determining to trigger an active play event if a virtual character in the virtual scene contacts a target virtual object in the virtual scene.

Here, when the target module receives the current beat point, the target module detects the virtual scene within the time range of the current beat point, and determines to trigger the sound effect playing event under the condition that the virtual character in the virtual scene is detected to contact the target virtual object in the virtual scene.

For example, the target module may detect a game screen corresponding to the virtual scene, and if a virtual character in the game screen contacts a target virtual object in the virtual scene, determine to trigger a sound effect playing event.

In step 230, the control objective module sends a play instruction to the audio engine in response to the sound effect play event.

Here, in the case where it is determined that the sound effect play event is triggered, the target module of the game engine transmits a play instruction to the audio engine in response to the sound effect play event. The playing instruction is used for indicating the audio engine to determine a target note in the target note sequence and play the target note at the trigger time of the sound effect playing event.

In step 240, the audio engine is controlled to determine a target note corresponding to the audio playback event according to the target note sequence in response to the playback instruction.

Here, the audio engine may determine, when receiving the play instruction, a target note corresponding to the audio play event according to a pre-configured target note sequence.

It should be noted that, the operation of determining the target note sequence and how to determine the target note has been described in detail in the above embodiments, and will not be described in detail here.

In step 250, the audio engine is controlled to play the target note.

Here, the electronic device may control the audio engine to play the target note at a trigger time of the sound effect play event so that the target note can be played within a time range of the current beat point, thereby enabling the played target note to be harmonically kept with the background music on the music theory.

Therefore, the playing of the target notes in the game is consistent with each beat point of the background music, so that the target notes and the background music can be kept harmonious on the music theory, and better game sound effect experience is brought to game players.

In some implementations, the new target note sequence is determined from the at least one preconfigured note sequence if a preset condition is met, wherein the preset condition includes an interval between a current time and a time at which the target note was last played being greater than or equal to a preset time threshold, or a scene switch occurs in the virtual scene.

Here, in case that an interval between the current time and the time at which the target note was played last is greater than or equal to a preset time threshold value, a new target note sequence may be determined from at least one preconfigured note sequence to determine a target note corresponding to a subsequently triggered sound effect playing event based on the new target note sequence.

The current time may refer to a real-time of the virtual scene. The interval between the current time and the time of playing the target note is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold, which effectively characterizes that even if the current time triggers the playing of the target note, the current time and the last playing of the target note cannot form a complete phrase on the hearing of the game player because the interval between the current time and the time of playing the target note is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold. Accordingly, in case that the interval between the current time and the time at which the target note was last played is greater than or equal to the preset time threshold value, a new target note sequence may be redetermined.

For example, the target note sequence is [ do, re, mi, do, re, mi ], the last played target note is the first "do" note, and the playing time is 11:20:38. If the current time is 11:20:40, even if the first "re" note is triggered to be played at the current time, the first "do" note and the first "re" note cannot form a complete phrase in the sense of hearing of the game player due to the 2 second time interval. At this point, a new sequence of target notes may be redetermined to enable subsequent triggering of the played plurality of target notes to form a complete phrase in the listening sense of the game player.

Illustratively, the preset time threshold may be set to a value of 2 seconds. Of course, the value of the preset time threshold can also be set according to the actual use condition.

In the event of a scene cut of the virtual scene, a new target note sequence is determined from at least one preconfigured note sequence. Wherein, the virtual scene occurrence scene switching may refer to the entire virtual scene occurrence transformation, for example, switching from virtual scene a to virtual scene B. Of course, the virtual scene occurrence scene switching may also refer to that the virtual character in the virtual scene enters a new sub-checkpoint. For example, a virtual scene may be divided into a plurality of sub-checkpoints, the scene between the plurality of sub-checkpoints being continuous, and when a virtual character switches from one sub-checkpoint to another sub-checkpoint, it is determined that a scene switch occurs for the virtual scene. Taking a running game as an example, when a virtual character is switched from one diving platform to another, it is determined that a scene change occurs in the virtual scene.

It should be appreciated that in the event of a scene switch in the virtual scene, the background music played by the virtual scene may change, or during the scene switch, an audio playback event may not be triggered, and in order to ensure that a plurality of target notes that are subsequently triggered to play can form a complete phrase in the listening sense of the game player, a new sequence of target notes needs to be redetermined.

Thus, by determining a new sequence of target notes, a plurality of target notes that are subsequently triggered to play can be enabled to form a complete phrase in the listening sense of the game player.

In some implementations, the new target note sequence may be determined based on background music of the current virtual scene in combination with a mapping relationship between the background music and the note sequence.

Here, the current virtual scene may refer to a virtual scene currently displayed by the electronic device. In different virtual scenes, the type of background music that it plays may be different. For example, in virtual scene a, background music with a cheerful tune may be played, while in virtual scene B, background music with a quiet tune may be played.

By determining a new target note sequence from background music of the current virtual scene in combination with a mapping relationship between the background music and the note sequence, a target note sequence that remains harmonious with a tune of the background music can be determined from the tune of the background music.

In some embodiments, at least one note sequence may be constructed according to the tone of the background music, where the note sequence includes a plurality of notes, and the tone corresponding to the music formed by the plurality of notes sequentially is harmonious with the tone of the background music, and the background music and the at least one note sequence are associated to obtain the mapping relationship.

Therefore, by determining the new target note sequence according to the background music of the current virtual scene, the finally played target notes can be kept harmonious with the tone of the background music in tone, and better game sound effect experience is brought to game players.

In particular, according to embodiments of the present disclosure, the processes described above with reference to flowcharts may be implemented as computer software programs. For example, embodiments of the present disclosure include a computer program product comprising a computer program embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium, the computer program comprising program code for performing the method shown in the flow chart. In such an embodiment, the computer program may be downloaded and installed from a network via communication means 609, or from storage means 608, or from ROM 602. The above-described functions defined in the methods of the embodiments of the present disclosure are performed when the computer program is executed by the processing device 601.

It should be noted that the computer readable medium described in the present disclosure may be a computer readable signal medium or a computer readable storage medium, or any combination of the two. The computer readable storage medium can be, for example, but not limited to, an electronic, magnetic, optical, electromagnetic, infrared, or semiconductor system, apparatus, or device, or a combination of any of the foregoing. More specific examples of the computer-readable storage medium may include, but are not limited to: an electrical connection having one or more wires, a portable computer diskette, a hard disk, a Random Access Memory (RAM), a read-only memory (ROM), an erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM or flash memory), an optical fiber, a portable compact disc read-only memory (CD-ROM), an optical storage device, a magnetic storage device, or any suitable combination of the foregoing. In the context of this disclosure, a computer-readable storage medium may be any tangible medium that can contain, or store a program for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. In the present disclosure, however, the computer-readable signal medium may include a data signal propagated in baseband or as part of a carrier wave, with the computer-readable program code embodied therein. Such a propagated data signal may take any of a variety of forms, including, but not limited to, electro-magnetic, optical, or any suitable combination of the foregoing. A computer readable signal medium may also be any computer readable medium that is not a computer readable storage medium and that can communicate, propagate, or transport a program for use by or in connection with an instruction execution system, apparatus, or device. Program code embodied on a computer readable medium may be transmitted using any appropriate medium, including but not limited to: electrical wires, fiber optic cables, RF (radio frequency), and the like, or any suitable combination of the foregoing.

In some implementations, the electronic device and the server may communicate using any currently known or future developed network protocol, such as HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol ), and may be interconnected with any form or medium of digital data communication (e.g., a communication network). Examples of communication networks include a local area network ("LAN"), a wide area network ("WAN"), the internet (e.g., the internet), and peer-to-peer networks (e.g., ad hoc peer-to-peer networks), as well as any currently known or future developed networks.

The computer readable medium may be contained in the electronic device; or may exist alone without being incorporated into the electronic device.

The computer readable medium carries one or more programs which, when executed by the electronic device, cause the electronic device to: determining the current beat point of background music played by a virtual scene; if the sound effect playing event is triggered in the time range corresponding to the current beat point, determining a target note corresponding to the sound effect playing event according to a target note sequence, wherein the target note sequence comprises a plurality of notes determined based on the background music; and playing the target notes.

Computer program code for carrying out operations of the present disclosure may be written in one or more programming languages, including, but not limited to, an object oriented programming language such as Java, smalltalk, C ++ and conventional procedural programming languages, such as the "C" programming language or similar programming languages. The program code may execute entirely on the user's computer, partly on the user's computer, as a stand-alone software package, partly on the user's computer and partly on a remote computer or entirely on the remote computer or server. In the case of a remote computer, the remote computer may be connected to the user's computer through any kind of network, including a Local Area Network (LAN) or a Wide Area Network (WAN), or may be connected to an external computer (for example, through the Internet using an Internet service provider).

The flowcharts and block diagrams in the figures illustrate the architecture, functionality, and operation of possible implementations of systems, methods and computer program products according to various embodiments of the present disclosure. In this regard, each block in the flowchart or block diagrams may represent a module, segment, or portion of code, which comprises one or more executable instructions for implementing the specified logical function(s). It should also be noted that, in some alternative implementations, the functions noted in the block may occur out of the order noted in the figures. For example, two blocks shown in succession may, in fact, be executed substantially concurrently, or the blocks may sometimes be executed in the reverse order, depending upon the functionality involved. It will also be noted that each block of the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustration, and combinations of blocks in the block diagrams and/or flowchart illustration, can be implemented by special purpose hardware-based systems which perform the specified functions or acts, or combinations of special purpose hardware and computer instructions.

The modules described in the embodiments of the present disclosure may be implemented in software or hardware. The name of a module does not in some cases define the module itself.
