The names of messages or information interacted between the various devices in the embodiments of the present disclosure are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of such messages or information.

Some technical concepts or noun concepts referred to herein are described in association with:

the virtual reality device, the terminal for realizing the virtual reality effect, may be provided in the form of glasses, a head mounted display (Head Mount Display, HMD), or a contact lens for realizing visual perception and other forms of perception, but the form of the virtual reality device is not limited to this, and may be further miniaturized or enlarged as needed.

The virtual reality device described in the embodiments of the present invention may include, but is not limited to, the following types:

a computer-side virtual reality (PCVR) device performs related computation of a virtual reality function and data output by using a PC side, and an external computer-side virtual reality device realizes a virtual reality effect by using data output by the PC side.

The mobile virtual reality device supports setting up a mobile terminal (such as a smart phone) in various manners (such as a head-mounted display provided with a special card slot), performing related calculation of a virtual reality function by the mobile terminal through connection with the mobile terminal in a wired or wireless manner, and outputting data to the mobile virtual reality device, for example, watching a virtual reality video through an APP of the mobile terminal.

The integrated virtual reality device has a processor for performing the calculation related to the virtual function, and thus has independent virtual reality input and output functions, and is free from connection with a PC or a mobile terminal, and has high degree of freedom in use.

Virtual reality objects, objects that interact in a virtual scene, objects that are stationary, moving, and performing various actions in a virtual scene, such as virtual persons corresponding to a user in a live scene, are controlled by a user or a robot program (e.g., an artificial intelligence based robot program).

As shown in fig. 1, HMDs are relatively light, ergonomically comfortable, and provide high resolution content with low latency. The sensor (such as a nine-axis sensor) for detecting the gesture in the virtual reality device is arranged in the virtual reality device, and is used for detecting the gesture change of the virtual reality device in real time, if the user wears the virtual reality device, when the gesture of the head of the user changes, the real-time gesture of the head is transmitted to the processor, so that the gaze point of the sight of the user in the virtual environment is calculated, an image in the gaze range (namely a virtual view field) of the user in the three-dimensional model of the virtual environment is calculated according to the gaze point, and the image is displayed on the display screen, so that the user looks like watching in the real environment.

In this embodiment, when a user wears the HMD device and opens a predetermined application program, for example, a live video application program, the HMD device may run corresponding virtual scenes, where the virtual scenes may be simulation environments for the real world, semi-simulation virtual scenes, or pure virtual scenes. 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, the virtual scene may include characters, sky, land, sea, etc., the land may include environmental elements such as desert, city, etc., the user may control the virtual object to move in the virtual scene, and may also interactively control the controls, models, presentations, characters, etc. in the virtual scene by means of a handle device, a bare hand gesture, etc.

In order to solve the above problems, the present disclosure proposes a technical solution that an application can be suspended in a virtual reality space, so as to simulate temporary exit of the application in reality, and to operate the application in the virtual reality space in a background by adopting a temporary exit mode, and when needed, the application can be directly pulled to be displayed on a foreground without re-entering the corresponding application, thereby improving the entry efficiency of the application and the realism of application control.

The embodiment of the disclosure provides an application control method based on a virtual reality space, in which an operation panel is displayed on a display screen in the virtual reality space, and the operation panel may include entries of various application programs, where the application program entries may be in the form of application program icons (application program icon 1, application program icon 2, application program icon 3, application program icon 4, etc. in the drawing) as shown in fig. 2, etc., and if the corresponding application program entry (application program icon of the application program 1 in the drawing is triggered), the application program entry is triggered, and the application program entry is communicated with a server of the corresponding application program to implement foreground rendering of the application program data on the display screen in the virtual reality space, so as to implement foreground display effect of the application program, etc. That is, in this embodiment, control operations of applications in a virtual reality space can be implemented, which simulates control operations of applications on a display screen such as a mobile phone in a display space.

The method is described below in connection with specific examples.

Fig. 3 is a flow chart of an application control method based on a virtual reality space according to an embodiment of the disclosure, where the method may be performed by an application control device based on a virtual reality space, and the device may be implemented by software and/or hardware, and may be generally integrated in an electronic device. As shown in fig. 3, the method includes:

step 301, switching an application process of the target application to a background process operation in response to the temporary exit operation of the target application, wherein when the application process of the target application is switched to the background process operation, displaying an application interface of the target application is stopped in the virtual reality space.

The target application may be understood as an application corresponding to an application interface currently displayed in the virtual reality space.

In different application scenarios, the manner of responding to the temporary exit operation of the target application is different, and examples are as follows:

in some possible embodiments, the temporary exit operation corresponds to temporarily suspending the target application, similar to switching the corresponding application to a background run or the like while the handset is operating. For example, the user may trigger and input a temporary exit operation through a preset button on the control device (such as a handle device, etc.), detect a trigger operation on a preset operation control (where the preset operation control may be any preset control on the control device) on the control device, and respond to the trigger time period of the trigger operation longer than a preset duration, that is, if a long-press operation on the preset operation control is detected, detect a temporary exit operation on the target application.

In some possible embodiments, there may be other various alternative ways to perform the temporary exit operation, and compared with the way of using the entity device button to perform the temporary exit operation, the alternative way proposes that the operation is not performed by means of the entity device button, which can improve the technical problem that the entity device button is easy to be damaged, and thus the user operation is easy to be affected.

In the optional mode, image information shot by a camera on a user can be monitored to obtain user gesture information, and if the user gesture information is matched with preset gesture information, temporary exit operation on a target application is obtained, wherein the preset gesture information is preset gesture information for temporarily exiting the application.

Further, in response to the temporary exit operation, switching the application process of the target application to a background process operation, wherein when the application process of the target application is switched to the background process operation, similar to the operation in the real space, an application interface of the target application in the virtual reality space is closed.

It should be understood that when the application process of the target application is switched to the background process, the application interface of the target application is hidden or closed, i.e. the application interface is stopped to be displayed in the foreground, but the application process is switched to the background process instead of being exited, and at this time, the communication link with the server of the target application is still maintained, so that the temporary exit of the target application is realized.

Step 302, displaying an application identification model corresponding to the target application in the virtual reality space.

In some possible embodiments, as shown in fig. 4, the application identification model may be a "sphere" model component, and if the target application running in the background is multiple, identification information (not shown in the drawing) of the corresponding target application may be displayed in the application identification model, where the identification information of the target application may be an application icon, an application name, or the like, so that the application identification model may be selectively triggered, and pull-up of the specific target application may be implemented.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, in order to facilitate intuitive learning that a target application is in a temporary exit state and facilitate subsequent pulling of the temporarily exited target application, an application identification model corresponding to the target application is displayed in a virtual reality space.

The display position of the application identification model may be on the operation panel in the virtual reality space, or may be other positions than the operation panel for improving the intelligent sense of display.

In some possible embodiments, the panel position where the operation panel is located in the virtual reality space is obtained, and the target display position corresponding to the preset panel position is determined, that is, the target display position is placed outside the operation panel, so that the "suspended" sense of display is improved, the intelligent sense of display is improved, and the preset panel position corresponds to the viewpoint of the user, so that the target display position corresponds to the preset panel position, the target display position in the virtual reality space is ensured, and when the application identification model is displayed, the application identification model can be noticed by the user, and the convenience of operation is improved.

It should be noted that, in different application scenarios, the manner of determining the target display position corresponding to the preset panel position is different, and the following is illustrated as an example:

in some possible embodiments, an associated area of a preset azimuth located at a preset panel position is determined, where the preset azimuth may be any direction of the preset panel position, the associated area is a preset area under the preset azimuth, in order to ensure convenience of operation, the distance between the associated area and the operation panel is generally smaller, after the associated area is determined, a target display position is determined in the associated area, for example, a preset display position of the associated area is determined as a target display position, for example, according to a display size of an application identification model, any blank area of the associated area is determined as a target display area.

The display size of the application identification model is generally determined by the distance between the user and the display screen in the virtual reality space, wherein, in order to improve the sense of reality of display, the larger the distance between the user and the display screen in the virtual reality space is, the larger the display size of the corresponding application identification model is, so as to realize the visual display effect of 'near-large-far-small', and of course, the display size of the application identification model can also be calibrated in advance.

In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 5, if the preset direction is the right direction of the operation panel, the application identification model may be displayed in the right area of the operation panel, and the application identification model displayed in the right direction is not only in line with the operation habit of the user, but also convenient for the user to notice.

In some possible embodiments, the target display position may be determined according to the preset azimuth and the preset distance, where the preset azimuth and the preset distance of the preset panel position correspond to each other.

In other possible embodiments, the user may further specify the target display position in the virtual reality space through the manipulation device according to personal preference, for example, determine the current manipulation position of the manipulation device on the display screen in the virtual reality space, where the manipulation position may be implemented through operations such as rotation of the manipulation device, and in response to the user triggering the preset selection control on the manipulation device at the corresponding manipulation position, the determined current manipulation position is the target display position. In order to more intuitively indicate the manipulation position, with continued reference to fig. 5, the manipulation position of the manipulation device on the display screen in the virtual reality space currently may be indicated in a "ray" model manner.

And step 303, switching the application process to a foreground process operation in response to a first preset trigger operation of the application identification model, wherein when the application process is switched to the foreground process operation, an application interface of the target application is displayed in the virtual reality space.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a process running in the background may be quickly entered without re-opening the target application, and in this embodiment, in response to a first preset trigger operation of the application identification model, the first trigger operation may be understood as a pull-up operation on the target application.

In this embodiment, in response to a first preset trigger operation of the application identifier model, the application process is switched to a foreground process for running, where when the application process is switched to the foreground process for running, an application interface of the target application is displayed in the virtual reality space, and when the application interface is switched to the background for running, the last displayed application interface of the target application is to be continued to run in the foreground according to the state when the target application is suspended, where the switching of the application process to the foreground process for running is similar to the switching of the application process in the display world from the background to the foreground for running, and in this embodiment, the current application information corresponding to the application process is rendered to the display screen in the virtual reality space for continued display.

In some possible embodiments, in order to enhance the intelligence of the display, when the application interface of the target application is displayed in the virtual reality space, a preset switching animation may be displayed in the virtual reality space, and after the preset switching animation is displayed, the application interface may be displayed.

The preset switching animation may be any preset animation that shows a switching transition effect, and in some optional embodiments, in order to show the relevance between the application identification model and the application interface of the target application, the preset switching animation may be displayed on the application identification model, for example, the preset switching animation is displayed by changing the color of the application identification model according to a preset display period; or, a mapping animation of the application identification model may be displayed, where the mapping animation may be in an animation form that visually associates the application identification model with the application interface, such as "arrow launch animation" shown in fig. 6, so that the application interface is displayed after the preset switching animation display is finished, thereby implementing switching of the target application to the foreground operation.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, an application interface of a target application may be displayed on an operation panel, or may be displayed at any position in a virtual reality space in a floating window as shown in fig. 7, where a display layer of the application interface is different from a layer of the operation panel, so as to form an intelligent sense of "floating" display.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, to further realize a sense of realism of an application operation, a closing operation of an application in the real world may be further simulated, where a click mark space position of a preset control device is identified, where the click mark space position corresponding to the control device may be indicated in a virtual reality space by an end point of a model such as a "ray", and in response to the click mark space position matching a space position of a closing control of an application interface of a target application (for example, the closing control shown in fig. 7), an application process of the target application is closed, after the application process of the target application, the application interface of the target application is closed, and at this time, the application process is completely cleared, and a memory occupied by the application process is released.

Of course, in the actual execution process, the user may want to directly terminate the suspension process running in the background, and may directly close the corresponding application process through the second preset trigger operation of the application identification model on the premise of no longer entering the corresponding application.

In this embodiment, an application process of the target application is closed in response to a second preset trigger operation of the application identification model, where after the application process of the target application is closed, an application interface of the target application is closed.

The method comprises the steps of switching an application process from a background to a foreground due to a first preset triggering operation of an application identification model, and closing the corresponding application process due to a second preset triggering operation of the application identification model. Therefore, the first preset trigger operation and the second preset trigger operation are different, and the trigger types of the first preset trigger operation and the second preset trigger operation can be similar, so that the learning cost of a user for learning the trigger operations of different types is reduced.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, a click flag spatial location of a preset manipulation device is identified, and in the event that the click flag spatial location matches a spatial location of an application identification model, a click operation of a preset operation control on the manipulation device is responded.

In this embodiment, a click flag spatial position of a preset control device is identified, and in a case where the click flag spatial position matches a spatial position of an application flag model, a long-press operation on a preset operation control is responded.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the "close" and "open" controls may also be displayed in the associated area of the virtual reality space by applying the identification model, and by triggering the "close" or "open" controls, closing the application process is achieved, or the application process is switched to the foreground display.

In summary, according to the application control method based on the virtual reality space in the embodiment of the disclosure, in response to a temporary exit operation on a target application, an application process of the target application is switched to a background process operation, wherein when the application process of the target application is switched to the background process operation, an application interface of the target application is stopped to be displayed in the virtual reality space, an application identification model corresponding to the target application is displayed in the virtual reality space, and in turn, in response to a first preset trigger operation on the application identification model, the application process is switched to a foreground process operation, and when the application process is switched to the foreground process operation, the application interface of the target application is displayed in the virtual reality space. Therefore, application suspension in the virtual reality space is realized, the path of application entering is shortened, and the sense of reality of application control is improved.

In order to achieve the above embodiments, the present disclosure further provides an application control device based on a virtual reality space.
