背景技术
用户可以操作游戏程序中的游戏人物进行竞技对抗。游戏程序提供有虚拟世界，游戏人物是位于虚拟世界中的虚拟角色。
终端上显示有游戏画面和小地图控件。该游戏画面是以当前游戏人物的视角对虚拟世界进行观察得到的画面，小地图控件是用于显示虚拟世界的俯视地图的控件。在当前游戏人物的周围存在其它游戏人物的情况下，若其它游戏人物在虚拟世界中活动而发出声音，则小地图控件上会显示声音图标，从而根据该声音图标在小地图空间上提示枪声、脚步声、消音器声等等。例如小地图控件上的A点显示有声音图标且该声音图标是一双脚印，则表明在虚拟世界中与小地图控件上A点对应的位置上存在其它游戏人物行走。

若在第一虚拟角色的周围环境中存在第一声源，则表示周围环境中存在虚拟元素(也可以称为虚拟世界中的个体)发出声音(例如第一声音)，该虚拟元素(个体)即为第一声源，故可以基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示第一声音指示器。第一声音指示器用于指示第一声源的水平方位和垂直方位，水平方位是以第一虚拟对象为中心，沿水平方向划分的方位，例如虚拟世界中的经度。垂直方位是以第一虚拟对象为中心，沿垂直方向划分的方位，例如声源(例如第一声源)相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角度。可选地，垂直方位采用垂直方位刻度来表示，类似于纬度；或者，垂直方位采用海拔高度来表示；或者，由于虚拟角色在垂直方向上的活动空间有限，因此垂直方位可简化或抽象为：上部方位、中部方位和下部方位。
在本申请实施例中，第一声源的水平方位可以是第一水平方位，第一声源的垂直方位可以是第一垂直方位，第一声源的第一水平方位可以由第一方位刻度所指示，第一声源的第一垂直方位可以由第一声音指示器的第一视觉表现来表示，第一视觉表现可以是第一声音指示器的形状、图案、颜色、纹理、文字和动画效果中的至少一种。
示意性的，终端可以基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示具有第一视觉表现的第一声音指示器，第一声音指示器的中心位置与第一方位刻度对齐，第一方位刻度用于指示所述第一声源的水平方位，第一视觉表现用于指示第一声源的垂直方位。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，通过在第一虚拟角色的周围环境中存在第一声源的情况下，仅基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示第一声音指示器，没有小地图来提示位置，也能够通过第一声音指示器同时指示第一声源对应的第一水平方位和第一垂直方位，使得用户仅依靠视觉表现即可准确判断第一声源的空间位置，在无需外放声音或使用耳机的听觉受限场景下，也能够针对声源获取足够多的有效空间信息。示例性的如图3所示，在第一虚拟角色10的周围环境存在第一声源发出第一声音的情况下，基于罗盘信息16中的第一方位刻度“西南”显示第一声音指示器19。其中，第一方位刻度“西南”用于指示第一声源的水平方位是西南方位。第一声音指示器19的形状用于指示第一声源的垂直方位是中部方位。
例如，以第一视觉表现是形状为例，结合参考图4的(a)实现方式，在第一声音指示器19的形状呈上三角形的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的上部方位；在第一声音指示器19的形状呈梭形的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的中部方位；在第一声音指示器19的形状在第一声音指示器19的形状呈下三角形的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的下部方位。
例如，以第一视觉表现是第一声音指示器19的左侧的箭头为例，结合参考图4的(b)实现方式，在第一声音指示器19左侧的箭头向上的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的上部方位；在第一声音指示器19左侧的箭头为圆形的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的中部方位；在第一声音指示器19左侧的箭头向下的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的下部方位。

例如，以第一视觉表现是第一声音指示器19的形状和附加数字为例，结合参考图4的(d)实现方式，在第一声音指示器19的形状呈上三角形以及携带数字“+100m”的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的上部方位且高于地面的高度为100米；在第一声音指示器19的形状呈梭形的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的中部方位；在第一声音指示器19的形状在第一声音指示器19的形状呈下三角形以及携带数字“-15m”的情况下，代表第一声源位于第一虚拟角色的下部方位且低于地面的高度为15米。
本实施例提供的方法，能够在用户界面上没有小地图控件的情况下，基于罗盘信息附近的第一声音指示器来提示第一声源的各种声音信息。在存在第一声源的情况下，能够基于第一声音指示器上的多种视觉表现来对声音进行多方面的提示，而且占用非常小的屏幕区域；在不存在第一声源的情况下，整个用户界面上的平视显示器(Head Up Display，HUD) 控件会尽可能地少，从而使得用户界面更加简洁有效，可以给用户带来更沉浸的程序使用体验。
图5示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的虚拟世界中的声音提示方法的流程图。该方法可以由图1所示的第一终端120或第二终端160执行，第一终端120或第二终端160可以统称为终端，该方法包括以下步骤：
步骤202：显示第一虚拟角色的视角画面，视角画面上显示有罗盘信息，罗盘信息包括方位刻度序列；
第一虚拟角色是第一用户在控制的虚拟对象。第一虚拟角色的视角画面是终端中的应用程序在运行过程中，以第一虚拟角色的视角对虚拟世界进行观察所获得的画面。可选的，第一虚拟角色的视角画面是通过第一虚拟角色的第一人称视角在虚拟世界中进行观察所获得的画面。
可选的，第一虚拟角色的第一人称视角在虚拟世界中会随着虚拟角色的移动进行自动跟随，即，当第一虚拟角色在虚拟世界中的位置发生改变时，第一虚拟角色的第一人称视角同时发生改变，且第一虚拟角色的第一人称视角在虚拟世界中始终处于第一虚拟角色的预设距离范围内。
罗盘信息包括方位刻度序列，该方位刻度序列中的方位刻度用于指示第一虚拟角色在虚拟世界中所面向的水平方位。示例性的，将第一虚拟角色的视角在虚拟世界中能够观察到的各个水平方位的方位刻度显示在方位刻度序列中，当前视角下未能观察到的水平方位的方位刻度可以不显示在方位刻度序列中。或者，以位于第一虚拟角色正前方的水平方位为中心的预设范围内的方向刻度，显示在方位刻度序列中。
示例性的，如图3所示，视角画面上显示有第一虚拟角色10、移动轮盘12、技能按钮14以及罗盘信息16。第一虚拟角色10可以是位于虚拟世界中的士兵。移动轮盘12用于控制第一虚拟角色10在虚拟世界中的移动，技能按钮14用于控制第一虚拟角色10在虚拟世界中释放技能或使用物品。罗盘信息16显示有方位刻度序列。该方位刻度序列包括7个方位刻度：165度、南、195度、215度、西南、240度、255度。其中，方位刻度215度用于指示位于第一虚拟角色10正前方的水平方位。
步骤204：控制第一虚拟角色在虚拟世界中活动；
用户可以通过移动轮盘12控制第一虚拟角色10进行移动，用户也可以通过按压一个或多个预设的技能按钮14控制第一虚拟角色释放技能或使用物品。用户还可以通过在触摸屏上进行长按、点击、双击和/或滑动所产生的信号控制第一虚拟角色。
步骤206：在所述第一虚拟角色在所述虚拟世界中活动的过程中，若在第一虚拟角色的周围环境中存在第一声源，所述第一声源用于发出第一声音，根据第一声音的声音参数确定第一声音指示器的视觉表现；
第一声音指示器的视觉表现包括如下视觉表现中的至少一种：
用于指示第一声音的垂直方位的第一视觉表现；
用于指示第一声音的声音类型的第二视觉表现；
用于指示第一声音的声音大小的第三视觉表现；
用于指示第一声音的声音距离的第四视觉表现；
用于指示第一声音的动作频率的第五视觉表现。
其中，每种视觉表现是不同类型的视觉表现。每种视觉表现是第一声音指示器的形状、图案、颜色、纹理、文字、动画效果、开始显示时间、持续显示时间、消隐时间中的一种。不同的视觉表现可以在同一个声音指示器上叠加，不同的视觉表现用于传递不同的声音信息。
其中，开始显示时间是第一声音指示器在用户界面上出现的时刻。持续显示时间是第一声音指示器在用户界面上显示的总时长。消隐时间是第一声音指示器在用户界面上从透明度开始变低直至消失显示的时长。
在第一虚拟角色的周围环境中存在第一声源的情况下，第一声源会触发声音事件。若第一虚拟角色是当前终端所对应用户所使用的虚拟角色，第一声源是其它终端对应的声源，则其它终端将声音事件通过服务器同步至当前终端；若第一声源是当前客终端对应的声源，则当前终端产生该声音事件。
该声音事件具有声音参数，终端可以根据第一声音的声音参数确定第一声音指示器的视觉表现。声音参数包括但不限于：第一声源的类型、第一声源的材质、第一声源的装备情况、第一声源的位置、第一声音的声音类型、第一声音的声音大小、第一声源的动作频率中的至少一种。
在一些可能的情况下，虚拟世界中存在很多活动对象，这些活动对象很多都可以发出声音，可以作为第一声源。即使是一个活动对象(即一个声源)，也可能发出多个声音。为了便于准确的识别第一声源发出的声音，在第一声源发出至少两个声音且至少两个声音的生成时间差小于阈值的情况下，将至少两个声音中音量最大的声音确定为第一声音。
例如，在第一虚拟角色边行走边开火的情况下，由于开火事件的音量大于行走事件，将开火事件确定为第一声音事件，显示开火事件的声音指示器，屏蔽行走事件的声音指示器。
例如，在第一声源发出新声音事件且新声音事件的音量大于当前声音事件的音量的情况下，只显示新声音事件的声音指示器。例如，第一虚拟角色在原地行走几步路又立刻开火，由于开火事件的音量大于行走事件的音量，将开火事件确定为第一声音事件，走路事件的声音指示器消失，只显示开火事件的声音指示器。
本实施例提供的方法，还通过在第一声源发出至少两个声音且至少两个声音的生成时间差小于阈值的情况下，将至少两个声音中音量最大的声音确定为第一声音，减少了对音量较低声音事件的不必要的计算量，提高了对声音效果提示的准确性。
步骤208：基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示具有视觉表现的第一声音指示器；
终端可以基于罗盘信息中的第一方位刻度，显示具有至少一种视觉表现的第一声音指示器。
其中，根据罗盘信息在用户界面的显示位置不同，可以将第一声音指示器显示在用户界面的合适位置。例如，在罗盘信息显示在用户界面的上方的情况下，在罗盘信息中的第一方位刻度的下方显示第一声音指示器；在罗盘信息显示在用户界面的下方的情况下，在 罗盘信息中的第一方位刻度的上方显示第一声音指示器。可选地，第一声音指示器的中心位置与第一方位刻度对齐。也即，第一声音指示器的中轴线与第一方位刻度对齐。
示意性的，第一声音指示器的视觉表现可以包括第一视觉表现，第一视觉表现用于指示第一声音的垂直方位。在一种可能的实现方式中，第一声音指示器的视觉表现在包括第一视觉表现的同时，还可以包括其它视觉表现，也就是说，终端可以基于第一方位刻度显示具有第一视觉表现和其它视觉表现的第一声音指示器。其它视觉表现包括如下视觉表现中的至少一种：
用于指示第一声音的声音类型的第二视觉表现；
用于指示第一声音的声音大小的第三视觉表现；
用于指示第一声音的声音距离的第四视觉表现；
用于指示第一声音的动作频率的第五视觉表现。
针对第一视觉表现：
第一视觉表现包括n种第一视觉表现，与n种垂直方位一一对应，n为大于1的正整数。客户端基于罗盘信息中的第一方位刻度显示第i种第一视觉表现的第一声音指示器，i为不大于n的正整数。第i种第一视觉表现用于指示第一声源对应第i种垂直方位。示例性的，第i种视觉表现可以包括用高度标记第一声音指示器来对应第一声源所在高度的第i种垂直方位。示例性的，n种垂直方位可以包括上部方位、中部方位和下部方位，即实现通过第一声音指示器区分上、中、下三层空间。
第一视觉表现的作用是使得用户通过观察第一声音指示器的视觉表现，可以知晓第一声源的垂直方位，而在视觉上体现第一声源的垂直方位的方式可以有一种或多种。示例性的，第一视觉表现包括如下至少一种：第一声音指示器的形状，第一声音指示器中的垂直方位刻度，第一声音指示器中的箭头，第一声音指示器中的文字提示。
以第一视觉表现包括形状为例，本步骤包括如下三个步骤中的一种：
·基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示呈向上形状的第一声音指示器，第一声音指示器用于指示第一声源的垂直方位为上部方位。
示意性的参考图6，假设第一声源是位于楼顶的敌方虚拟角色，由于敌方虚拟角色在垂直方向上的高度位于第一虚拟角色10的上部方位，因此在罗盘信息16中的第一方位刻度“215”下方显示具有向上形状的第一声音指示器，以指示第一声音的垂直方位为上部方位。
·基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示呈上下对称形状的第一声音指示器，第一声音指示器用于指示第一声源的垂直方位为中部方位。
·基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示呈向下形状的第一声音指示器，第一声音指示器用于指示第一声源的垂直方位为下部方位。
与图6相反的是，若第一虚拟角色10位于楼顶，而敌方虚拟角色位于楼下地面上，则第一声源的垂直方位为下部方位。
以第一视觉表现包括垂直方位刻度为例，基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示具有垂直方位刻度的第一声音指示器，垂直方位刻度用于指示第一声源的垂直方位，或者， 垂直方位刻度用于指示第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角。也即，该垂直方位刻度采用第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角来表示。
以第一视觉表现包括箭头为例，基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示具有箭头的第一声音指示器，箭头的箭头方向用于指示第一声源的垂直方位。比如，向上箭头代表高度高于第一虚拟角色所在平面的上部方位，向下箭头代表高度低于第一虚拟角色所在平面的下部方位。
以第一视觉表现包括文字提示为例，基于方位刻度序列中的第一方位刻度显示具有文字提示的第一声音指示器，文字提示用于指示第一声源的垂直方位。
上述形状、垂直方位刻度、箭头和文字提示中的至少两种进行组合，也可以实现成为第一视觉表现，对此不加以限定。
针对第二视觉表现：
第二视觉表现用于指示第一声音的声音类型。在这种情况下，根据第一声音的声音参数，确定第一声音指示器的视觉表现的方式可以是根据第一声音的声音类型，确定第一声音指示器的第二视觉表现。
在一些实施例中，第二视觉表现包括第一声音指示器的颜色，也即采用不同颜色的第一声音指示器来指示第一声音的声音类型。例如，采用白色表示虚拟角色的脚步声/NPC呐喊声，采用红色表示枪声/爆炸声。
示意性的参考图7，针对不同声源发出的两个声音，用户界面上显示两个声音指示器19a和19b。声音指示器19a为白色，代表脚步声；声音指示器19b为红色，代表枪声。
在一些实施例中，第二视觉表现包括第一声音指示器的图标样式，也即采用不同图标样式的第一声音指示器来指示第一声音的声音类型。
示意性的参考图8，采用枪械图标样式191来表示声音类型“枪声”；采用脚印图标样式192来表示声音类型“脚步声”；采用人头图标样式193来表示声音类型“人声语音”；采用爆炸图标样式194来表示声音类型“爆炸声”。
在一些实施例中，第二视觉表现为第一声音指示器的持续显示时长。该持续显示时长包括：第一声音指示器采用不透明方式显示的第一时长，以及将不透明方式渐变为透明方式而取消显示的第二时长(也即消隐时长)。也即，采用不同的持续显示时长来指示第一声音的声音类型。比如，不同的声音类型对应的第一时长不同，或者，不同的声音类型对应的第二时长不同，或者，不同的声音类型对应的第一时长和第二时长均不同。
针对第三视觉表现：
第三视觉表现用于指示第一声音的声音大小。示意性的，第一声音的声音大小是指第一声音在第一虚拟角色处的到达声音大小，用于模拟第一虚拟角色实际听到的第一声音的声音大小，而非第一声音的原始声音大小。在这种情况下，第一声音指示器采用声波幅度谱表示，第三视觉表现包括第一声波幅度谱的幅度大小，声音参数包括声音大小，根据第一声音的声音参数，确定第一声音指示器的视觉表现的方式可以是根据第一声音在第一虚拟角色处的到达声音大小，确定第一声波幅度谱的幅度大小。
示意性的参考图7，声音指示器采用声波幅度谱来表示，声波幅度谱的高度用于表示声波幅度。针对不同声源发出的两个声音，用户界面上显示两个声音指示器19a和19b。其中，声音指示器19a的声波幅度小于声音指示器19b的声波幅度，则声音指示器19a对应的声音大小小于声音指示器19b对应的声音大小。也即，同样距离下的脚步声和枪声。左侧的声音指示器19a的声波幅度更小，右侧的声音指示器19b的声波幅度更大。
示意性的参考图9，声音指示器采用声波幅度谱来表示，声波幅度谱的高度用于表示声波幅度。针对不同声音大小的两个声音，采用不同的声波幅度来表示。图9示出了在100-200m距离范围下，枪声随距离变弱时，第一声音指示器的幅度也会变弱。
针对第四视觉表现：
第四视觉表现用于指示第一声音的声音距离。示意性的，第四视觉表现采用第一声音指示器的开始显示时间来表示。也即，当接收到第一声音的声音事件后，并不会马上显示第一声音指示器，而是延迟一定时间后才显示第一声音指示器。延迟的时间长度与声音距离有关，该声音距离是第一声源和第一虚拟角色之间的距离。
针对第五视觉表现：
第五视觉表现用于指示第一声音的动作频率。示意性的，第一声音指示器采用声波幅度谱来表示，第五视觉表现包括声波幅度谱的抖动频率，声波幅度谱的高度用于表示声波幅度，该声波幅度谱能够动态地伸缩变化，以表示声波的抖动。由于产生第一声音的动作幅度不同，因此第一声音的动作频率也不同。在这种情况下，声音参数包括第一声源的动作频率，根据第一声音的声音参数，确定所述第一声音指示器的视觉表现的方式可以是根据第一声源发出第一声音时的动作频率，确定声波幅度谱的抖动频率。
比如位于第一声源处的虚拟角色在跑步时，声波幅度谱会采用白色显示，声波幅度谱的抖动频率会更大一些，以显示出跑步的急促。当位于第一声源处的虚拟角色放低步伐蹲走时，声波幅度谱的抖动频率会更小一些，以显示出缓慢前进的感觉，并与跑步做区分。
步骤210：若第一虚拟角色的周围环境中存在第二声源且第二声源的水平方位位于可见方位范围之外，基于方位刻度序列中与第二声源的水平方位最近的边缘方位刻度显示第二声音指示器，第二声音指示器用于表示沿边缘方位刻度所指示的水平方位上存在第二声源；
在第一虚拟角色的周围环境还可存在第二声源，在方位刻度序列下方显示第二声音指示器之前，判断第二声源对应的水平方位(也可以称为第二水平方位)是否处于第一虚拟角色的可见方位范围。
在第二声源对应的水平方位处于第一虚拟角色的可见方位范围内的情况下，基于在方位刻度序列中的第二方位刻度显示第二声音指示器，例如通过第二声波幅度谱来提示第二声音的水平方位和垂直方位。
在第二声源对应的水平方位处于第一虚拟角色的可见方位范围之外的情况下，基于方位刻度序列中与第二声源的水平方位最近的边缘方位刻度显示第二声音指示器，来提示存在第二声源或第二声音。
示意性的如图10所示，在第一虚拟角色10的可视范围内，基于罗盘信息18上的边缘方位刻度显示第二声音指示器19。该第二声音指示器19可以与边缘方位刻度对齐，也可以超出边缘方位刻度。该第二声音指示器19用于表示在第一虚拟角色10的右侧不可见区域中具有第二声源，且该第二声源发出第二声音。
可选地，第二声音指示器19具有上述五种视觉表现中的至少一种。第二声音指示器19具有的视觉表现种类等于或少于第一声音指示器。比如，第二声音指示器19仅使用颜色或图标样式来显示第二声音的声音类型。
步骤212：在第一虚拟角色进入失聪状态的情况下，取消或忽略显示(第一)声音提示器。
在第一虚拟角色被第一声音投掷物攻击的情况下，第一虚拟角色由于接收到的声音过大而处于失聪状态，第一虚拟角色在终端中的表现为听不见声音。在第一虚拟角色处于失聪状态的过程中，终端将取消显示罗盘信息上方位刻度序列下方的第一声音提示器，也即取消显示第一虚拟角色对应的全部声音提示器。
第一声音投掷物是手雷或炸弹等。当手雷在第一虚拟角色的近距离爆炸时，第一虚拟角色会进入失聪状态。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，通过在第一虚拟角色的周围环境中存在第一声源的情况下，仅基于罗盘信息中的第一方位刻度显示第一声音指示器，没有小地图来提示位置，也能够通过第一声音指示器同时指示第一声源对应的第一水平方位和第一垂直方位，使得用户仅依靠视觉表现即可准确判断第一声源的空间位置，在无需外放声音或使用耳机的听觉受限场景下，也能够针对声源获取足够多的有效空间信息。
本实施例提供的方法，还通过第一声音指示器上同时存在的不同视觉表现，分别对声音的垂直方位、声音类型、声音大小、声音距离和动作频率进行指示，使得用户仅靠不同的视觉表现即可获取到第一声音的垂直方位、声音类型、声音大小、声音距离和动作频率，在无需外声音或使用耳机的听觉受限场景下，也能够获取第一声音的有效信息。同时，由于第一声音指示器在用户界面上占用的区域非常小，因此能够节省用户界面上的显示空间。而且没有小地图来提示位置，仅基于罗盘的第一声音指示器的多种视觉表现来对声音进行多方面的提示，可以给用户带来更沉浸的游戏体验。
本实施例提供的方法，还通过在第一虚拟角色进入失聪状态的情况下，取消或忽略显示(第一)声音提示器，提高了用户仅依靠视觉表现判断第一声源的空间位置的准确性。
针对上述五种视觉表现，上述步骤205还可选包括如下步骤中的至少一种：
针对第一视觉表现：
根据第一声源与第一虚拟角色在虚拟环境中的位置，计算第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角(picth)；基于俯仰角的取值范围，确定第一声源的垂直方位。
示例性的如图11所示，采用俯仰角来确定第一声源的垂直方位，在第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角处于-17°到17°或者163°到180°或者-163°到-180°的范围内，确定第一声源的垂直范围是相对于第一虚拟角色的中间方位；在第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角处于17°到163°的范围内，确定第一声源的垂直方位是相对于第一虚拟角色的上部方 位；在第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角处于-17°到-163°的范围内，确定第一声源的垂直方位是相对于第一虚拟角色的下部方位。
针对第二视觉表现：
在第二视觉表现包括第一声音指示器的颜色的情况下，根据第一声音的声音类型，确定第一声音指示器的颜色。
示例性的如表一所示，表一示出了声音类型和颜色之间的第一对应关系。
表一
颜色 声音类型
白色 脚步声
红色 枪声
橙色 炸弹声
蓝色 喊叫声
终端通过查询第一对应关系，能够确定出与第一声音的声音类型对应的颜色，将该颜色确定为第一声音指示器的颜色。
在第二视觉表现包括第一声音指示器的图标样式的情况下，根据第一声音的声音类型，确定第一声音指示器的图标样式。
示例性的如表二所示，表二示出了声音类型和图标样式之间的第二对应关系。
表二
图标样式 声音类型
脚印图标样式 脚步声
枪械图标样式 枪声
火焰图标样式 炸弹声
人头图标样式 喊叫声
终端通过查询第二对应关系，能够确定出与第一声音的声音类型对应的图标样式，将该图标样式确定为第一声音指示器的图标样式。
针对第三视觉表现：
在第一声音指示器采用声波幅度谱表示，第三视觉表现包括第一声波幅度谱的幅度大小的情况下：
步骤1：根据第一声音的原始声音大小和影响参数，确定第一声音的到达声音大小，影响参数包括如下参数中的至少一种：
·第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离；
声音大小会随着距离传播而衰减。因此，第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离越长，第一声音的声音大小越小；第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离越短，第一声音的声音大小越大。
·第一虚拟角色佩戴的装备；
第一虚拟角色佩戴的与声音大小有关的装备包括：不同类型的头盔以及耳机中的至少一种。装备类型以及装备的佩戴情况，均会影响第一声音的声音大小。
示例性的，对于同一个原始声音的大小，在第一虚拟角色佩带有耳机的情况确定的到达声音大小大于第一虚拟角色未佩戴耳机的情况确定的到达声音大小；第一虚拟角色在佩带有头盔的情况确定的到达声音大小小于第一虚拟角色未佩戴头盔的情况确定的到达声音大小。
·在第一声源为第二虚拟角色的情况下，第二虚拟角色佩戴的装备；
第二虚拟角色佩戴的与声音大小有关的装备包括：不同类型的枪械，不同的弹药类型，消声器中的至少一种。装备类型以及装备的佩戴情况，均会影响第一声音的声音大小。
示例性的，对于同一个原始声音的大小，在第二虚拟角色佩带有消声器的情况确定的到达声音大小小于第二虚拟角色未佩戴消声器的情况确定的到达声音大小。
·第一声源的材质或第一声源接触到的材质。
比如，第一虚拟角色的鞋子与不同地面触碰的声音会影响声音的大小，第一虚拟角色的不同材质的鞋子与同一种地面触碰的声音会影响声音的大小。
示意性的，到达声音大小＝(原始声音大小*原始声音大小的影响系数)*(1-声音距离/(声音最大有效距离*最大距离的影响系数))。
其中，原始声音大小为第一声音在第一声源处发出的声音大小。示意性的，原始声音大小的影响系数与上述影响参数有关，通常由设计师设置为经验值。声音最大距离下的影响系数用于指示声音衰减特性，与上述影响参数有关，通常由设计师设置为经验值。
比如：假设第一虚拟角色带着隔绝声音的头盔，听到了从75m发出的消音器的枪声，枪声的原始声音大小为100，最大有效距离为150m。消音器对原始声音大小的影响系数为1，对最大距离下的影响系数是0.5；头盔对原始声音大小的影响系数为0.5，对最大距离的影响系数为0.5。
到达声音大小＝(100*1*0.5)*(1-75/(150*0.5*0.5))＝50*-1＝-50＝负数归零＝听不到声音，所以不在第一声音指示器上显示波纹。
又比如：假设第一虚拟角色带着隔绝声音的头盔，听到了从30m发出的消音器的枪声，枪声的原始声音大小为100，最大有效距离为150m。
到达声音大小＝(100*0.5)*(1-30/(150*0.5*0.5))＝50*0.2＝25。
步骤2：根据第一声音在第一虚拟角色处的到达声音大小，确定第一声波幅度谱的幅度大小。
客户端通过“声音大小-波纹幅度”的转换曲线，将第一声音的到达声音大小映射成第一声波幅度谱的声波幅度。
比如，距离玩家150m的步枪开火声为100*(1-150/200)＝25，数值25经过转换曲线转换成声波幅度为0.22，以0.22的倍率影响第一声波幅度谱的声波幅度。
针对第四视觉表现：
·在第四视觉表现包括第一声音指示器的开始显示时间的情况下，基于第一声源和第一虚拟角色之间的声音传播速度，确定第一声音指示器的开始显示时间，开始显示时间晚于第一声音的产生时间。
示意性的，开始显示时间＝第一声音的产生时间+声音距离/虚拟环境中的声音传播速度；
其中，第一声音产生时间为第一声源发出第一声音的时间，声音距离为第一声源和第一虚拟角色之间的距离，虚拟环境中的声音传播速度通常由设计师设置为经验值。
针对第五视觉表现：
·在第一声音指示器采用声波幅度谱表示，第五视觉表现包括声波幅度谱的抖动频率，根据第一声源发出第一声音时的动作频率，确定声波幅度谱的抖动频率。
示意性的，当第一虚拟角色在跑步时，声波幅度谱会采用白色显示，声波幅度谱的抖动频率会更大一些，以显示出跑步的急促。当第一虚拟角色放低步伐蹲走时，声波幅度谱的抖动频率会更小一些，以显示出缓慢前进的感觉，并与跑步做区分。
本申请对上述各个计算过程的先后顺序不加以限定。
在一些实施例中，开发人员可以对上述实施例提及的战术道具、装备对第一声音的到达声音大小的影响系数进行配置。示意性的参考图12，图12示出了头盔耳机对第一声音的到达声音大小影响系数的配置界面1200。该配置界面1200上包括增大声波幅度系数1201，声音大小影响系数1202和声音最大距离影响系数1203三个配置项，增大声波幅度系数1201配置项用于配置当第一虚拟角色佩戴头盔耳机对第一声音的声波振幅的影响系数，声音大小影响系数配置项1202用于配置当第一虚拟角色佩戴头盔耳机时对第一声音的到达声音大小的影响系数，声音最大距离影响系数1203配置项用于配置当第一虚拟角色带着头盔耳机时对第一声音可以传播的最大距离的影响系数。示例性的，声音大小影响系数1202和声音最大距离影响系数1203配置项都是1，当第一虚拟角色佩戴头盔耳机时对第一声音的到达声音大小和第一声音最大距离没有影响。

本实施例提供的方法，还可以根据声音指示器及其下方的声波幅度谱的幅度，抖动频率，持续时间对第一声源的属性进行进一步的区分；根据音源角度与俯仰角进行比较确定第一声源在虚拟世界中的垂直方位，提高了对声音大小，声音频率以及声音类型方面的提示效果。
图18示出了本申请一个示例性实施例提供的虚拟世界中的声音提示方法的流程图。该方法可以由图1所示的第一终端120或第二终端160执行，第一终端120或第二终端160可以统称为终端，该方法包括以下步骤：
步骤1802：获取第一声音的参数；
终端获取第一声源发出的第一声音的参数。或者说，终端获取第一声源发出的第一声音的声音事件的参数。
步骤1804：辨别第一声音的声音类型；
根据终端获取的第一声音的声音参数确定第一声音的声音类型，并根据不同的声音类型确定对应的第一声音指示器承载的第二视觉表现。
在一些实施例中，第二视觉表现为颜色，根据终端获取的第一声音的声音参数判断第一声音为虚拟角色的脚步声/NPC呐喊声，则用白色来表示第一声音指示器；若判断第一声音为枪声/爆炸声，则采用红色来表示第一声音指示器。
在一些实施例中，第二视觉表现为图标样式，则根据终端获取的第一声音的声音参数判断第一声音的类型，并采用第一声音对应的不同图标样式来表示第一声音指示器。例如，判断第一声音为虚拟角色的脚步声，则用脚印图标样式来表示第一声音指示器；若判断第一声音为枪声，则采用枪械图标样式来表示第一声音指示器。
步骤1806a：根据第一声音的类型配置的第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离和第一声源的原始声音大小计算到达声音大小；
第一声音的声音事件中携带有第一声源的三维坐标。终端通过将第一声源的三维坐标和第一虚拟角色的三维坐标进行距离计算，能够计算出第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离。
由于声音大小会随着距离传播而衰减，因此第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离越长，第一声音的声音大小越小；第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离越短，第一声音的声音大小越大。
第一声音的声音事件中还携带有第一声源的原始声音大小，终端通过将距离作为一个影响参数，对第一声音的原始声音大小进行衰减。
步骤1806b：根据战术道具、装备等影响参数计算到达声音大小；
终端还根据战术道具及装备等影响参数确定对应的影响系数，进而计算第一声音最终到达声音大小。
示例性的，战术道具及装备(可统称为装备)包括：
·第一虚拟角色佩戴的装备；
第一虚拟角色佩戴的与声音大小有关的装备包括：不同类型的头盔以及耳机中的至少一种。装备类型以及装备的佩戴情况，均会影响第一声音的声音大小。
·在第一声源为第二虚拟角色的情况下，第二虚拟角色佩戴的装备；
第二虚拟角色佩戴的与声音大小有关的装备包括：不同类型的枪械，不同的弹药类型，消声器中的至少一种。装备类型以及装备的佩戴情况，均会影响第一声音的声音大小。
·第一声源的材质或第一声源接触到的材质。
比如，第一虚拟角色的鞋子与不同地面触碰的声音会影响声音的大小，第一虚拟角色的不同材质的鞋子与同一种地面触碰的声音会影响声音的大小。
示意性的，到达声音大小＝(原始声音大小*原始声音大小的影响系数)*(1-声音距离/(声音最大有效距离*最大距离的影响系数))。
其中，原始声音大小为第一声音在第一声源处发出的声音大小。示意性的，原始声音大小的影响系数与上述影响参数有关，通常由设计师设置为经验值。声音最大距离下的影响系数用于指示声音衰减特性，与上述影响参数有关，通常由设计师设置为经验值。
比如：假设第一虚拟角色带着隔绝声音的头盔，听到了从75m发出的消音器的枪声，枪声的原始声音大小为100，最大有效距离为150m。消音器对原始声音大小的影响系数为1，对最大距离下的影响系数是0.5；头盔对原始声音大小的影响系数为0.5，对最大距离的影响系数为0.5。
到达声音大小＝(100*1*0.5)*(1-75/(150*0.5*0.5))＝50*-1＝-50＝负数归零＝听不到声音，所以不在第一声音指示器上显示波纹。
又比如：假设第一虚拟角色带着隔绝声音的头盔，听到了从30m发出的消音器的枪声，枪声的原始声音大小为100，最大有效距离为150m。
到达声音大小＝(100*0.5)*(1-30/(150*0.5*0.5))＝50*0.2＝25。
需要说明的是，对于步骤1806a和步骤1806b可以是同时计算的，也可以是先根据第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离和第一声源的原始声音大小计算出受战术道具、装备影响之前的声音大小作为中间值，再计算受战术道具和装备影响之后的最终到达声音大小。
步骤1808：判断第一声源的水平方位是否在罗盘信息显示的方位刻度序列对应的可见方位范围内；
罗盘信息包括方位刻度序列，该方位刻度序列中的方位刻度用于指示第一虚拟角色在虚拟世界中所面向的水平方位。示例性的，将第一虚拟角色的视角在虚拟世界中能够观察到的各个水平方位的方位刻度显示在方位刻度序列中，当前视角下未能观察到的水平方位的方位刻度可以不显示在方位刻度序列中。或者，以位于第一虚拟角色正前方的水平方位为中心的预设范围内的方向刻度，显示在方位刻度序列中。
若第一声源的水平方位不处于罗盘信息显示的方位刻度序列对应的可见方位范围内，执行步骤1810，以第二声音指示器的形式表现声音；若第一声源的水平方位处于罗盘信息显示的方位刻度序列对应的可见方位范围内，执行步骤1812，根据俯仰角计算是否处于第一虚拟角色的上/下方。
步骤1810：用第二声音指示器的形式表现声音；
若判断第一声源的水平方位不处于罗盘信息显示的方位刻度序列对应的可见方位范围内，则基于方位刻度序列中与第二水平方位最近的边缘方位刻度显示第二声音指示器，并将该声音确定为第二声音或第二声源，用第二声音指示器来指示。
步骤1812：根据俯仰角计算判断第一声源是否处于第一虚拟角色的上/下方；
根据终端获取的第一声源与第一虚拟角色在虚拟环境中的位置坐标，计算第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角；基于俯仰角的取值范围，确定第一声源的垂直方位。
在第一声源处于第一虚拟角色上/下方时，执行步骤1814，以上方或者下方第一声音指示器的形式表现声音，即在第一声源处于第一虚拟角色上方时，显示上方的第一声音指示器的形式来表现上方信息；在第一声源处于第一虚拟角色下方时，显示下方的第一声音指示器的形式来表现下方信息；在第一声源不处于第一虚拟角色上/下方时，则执行步骤1816，以中间第一声音指示器的形式表现声音，即第一声源处于第一虚拟角色的中间，显示中间的第一声音指示器的形式来表现中间信息。
示例性的，如图11所示，在第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角处于-17°到17°或者163°到180°或者-163°到-180°的范围内，确定第一角色处于第一虚拟角色的中间；在第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角处于17°到163°的范围内，确定第一角色处于第一虚拟角色的上方；在第一声源相对于第一虚拟角色的俯仰角处于-17°到-163°的范围内，确定第一角色处于第一虚拟角色的下方。
步骤1814：以上方或者下方第一声音指示器的形式表现声音；
步骤1816：以中间第一声音指示器的形式表现声音；
步骤1818：判断第一声音是否为枪声；
根据终端获取的第一声音的声音参数确定第一声音是否为枪声，在是枪械声音的情况下，执行步骤1820，根据枪械声音类型对第一声音进行区分表现；在判断第一声音不是枪声的情况下，执行步骤1822，根据人物及其他声音类型对第一声音进行区分表现。
步骤1820：根据枪械声音的类型对第一声音进行区分表现；
示例性的终端根据第一声音的声音参数确定第一声音为枪声，会将第一声音的第一声音指示器确认为红色或者确认为枪械的图标样式，再根据第一声音参数确定第一声音指示器的声波幅度、声波振动频率及声波持续时间。
步骤1822：根据虚拟角色及其他声音的类型对第一声音进行区分表现。
示例性的终端根据第一声音的声音参数确定第一声源为虚拟角色，会将第一声音的第一声音指示器确认为白色或者确认为脚印图标样式或者人头图标样式，再根据第一声音参数确定第一声音指示器的声波幅度、声波振动频率及声波持续时间。
综上所述，本实施例提供的方法，通过终端获取第一声音的声音参数对第一声音的类型进行辨别，在根据第一声源与第一虚拟角色之间的距离和第一声源的原始声音大小对第一声音的到达声音大小进行计算，通过判断第一声音是否在罗盘信息显示的方位刻度范围，来确定第一声音的水平方位和垂直方位，从而提高了对声音大小，声音频率以及声音类型方面的提示效果。
