It is to be understood that the data so used is interchangeable under appropriate circumstances such that the embodiments of the disclosure described herein are capable of operation in sequences other than those illustrated or otherwise described herein. The implementations described in the exemplary embodiments below are not intended to represent all implementations consistent with the present disclosure. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the present disclosure, as detailed in the appended claims.

It should also be noted that the user information (including but not limited to user device information, user personal information, etc.) and data (including but not limited to data for presentation, analyzed data, etc.) referred to in the present disclosure are both information and data that are authorized by the user or sufficiently authorized by various parties.

The display control method of the virtual article provided by the present disclosure may be applied to an application environment as shown in fig. 1. Wherein the server 110 interacts with the viewer 120 via the network. The server 110 has a first application installed therein for configuring a virtual article. The server 110 displays a virtual article configuration panel through the first application program, so that the user obtains the mapping relationship among the live broadcast attribute, the article slot position and the virtual article through the configuration of the virtual article configuration panel. The server 110 stores the mapping relationship. Further, the server 110 may also send the mapping relationship to the viewer 120, so that the viewer 120 stores the mapping relationship in a local database. The viewer side 120 has installed therein a second application that can be used to view live video. When the audience 120 detects a virtual article acquisition request, a target article slot position which is obtained from the mapping relation and accords with the current live broadcast attribute and a target virtual article corresponding to the target article slot position are acquired. The spectator end 120 displays the target virtual item in the target item slot.

The server 110 may be implemented by an independent server or a server cluster composed of a plurality of servers. The spectator end 120 may be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets, portable wearable devices.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a display control method for a virtual article according to an exemplary embodiment, where as shown in fig. 2, the display control method for a virtual article is used in a server, and includes the following steps.

In step S210, a virtual article arrangement panel is displayed, and a plurality of article slots are displayed in the virtual article arrangement panel.

The virtual article may refer to a network article, such as a virtual gift, a virtual prop, etc., which is designed and has a use value and an exchange value through the operation of the system platform in a network-specific virtual environment.

The virtual article configuration panel may be understood as an editable form of a virtual article panel displayed at the viewer end. The virtual article configuration panel and the virtual article panel displayed by the audience end both comprise a plurality of article slots, and the condition that one article slot is included is not excluded. The number of the article slots in the virtual article configuration panel is greater than or equal to the number of the article slots in the virtual article panel. In contrast, the article slot in the virtual article configuration panel may be, but is not limited to, used for configuring, storing, and displaying a virtual article, so that the virtual article in each article slot may be changed. The article slot position in the virtual article panel is used for receiving and displaying the virtual article.

It can be understood that the article slot position in the virtual article configuration panel and the article slot position in the virtual article panel have a corresponding relationship, and a corresponding relationship between the two article slot positions can be established through a unique slot position id (identity), so that the same virtual article is displayed in the virtual article configuration panel and the article slot position having the corresponding relationship in the virtual article panel.

Specifically, when the server detects a panel configuration operation triggered by a user through a virtual article panel, the virtual article configuration panel is displayed, and a plurality of article slots are displayed in the virtual article configuration panel.

In step S220, a live attribute is obtained, where the live attribute is obtained in response to the attribute selection operation.

The live broadcast attribute is an integration and classification mode for the live broadcast room. The live broadcast attribute can be determined according to inherent attribute characteristics of a live broadcast room, an anchor account, an audience account and the like, for example, the live broadcast attribute can be determined according to the gender of the anchor, the city of the anchor, the type of the live broadcast room and the like. Alternatively, the live property may be a property that satisfies a custom condition, e.g., the number of fans of the anchor exceeds a threshold. The attribute selection operation of the live broadcast attribute can be triggered by clicking, preset gestures, voice instructions and the like.

In some possible embodiments, a general live attribute may be set. And when the audience end does not hit any live broadcast attribute except the universal live broadcast attribute, the audience end hits the universal live broadcast attribute, and then the audience end displays a virtual article panel corresponding to the universal live broadcast attribute.

Specifically, when the server detects an attribute selection operation of the live broadcast attribute triggered by the user through the virtual article configuration panel, the selected live broadcast attribute is acquired. FIG. 3 illustrates a virtual good configuration panel in a configuration of a server-side display. As shown in fig. 3, a plurality of article slots and a plurality of keys with live broadcast attributes are displayed in the virtual article configuration panel: attribute 1 to attribute 5. The user may perform a click operation (e.g., attribute 1 in fig. 3) on a button of the live broadcast attribute that needs to be configured, so that the server obtains the selected live broadcast attribute in response to the click operation.

Further, a virtual article that can be currently displayed at the viewer side may be displayed in each article slot of the virtual article configuration panel. With continued reference to fig. 3, the currently selected live broadcast attribute is attribute 1, and a virtual item that can be currently displayed at the viewer side conforming to attribute 1 is displayed in each item slot.

In step S230, a virtual article corresponding to the article slot is obtained, where the virtual article is obtained after the virtual article configuration operation on the article slot is performed.

Specifically, the virtual article configuration operation may be triggered by clicking, dragging, a preset gesture, a voice instruction, and the like. When the service end detects that the user carries out virtual article configuration operation on each article slot position needing configuration, the virtual article corresponding to each article slot position is obtained, and the corresponding virtual article is displayed in each article slot position.

Fig. 4 schematically shows a panel obtained by configuring the virtual article configuration panel shown in fig. 3. As shown in fig. 4, if the virtual article in the article slot position 1 needs to be changed from the article a to the article B, the user may drag the article B in the article slot position 2 to the article slot position 1, so that the service end obtains the virtual article corresponding to the article slot position 1 as the article B, and displays the article B in the article slot position 1, thereby completing the configuration of the article slot position 1.

In step S240, a mapping relationship among the live broadcast attribute, the article slot and the virtual article is established, where the mapping relationship is used to instruct the viewer to display the virtual article in the article slot of the virtual article panel.

Specifically, after the configuration of the article slot position in the virtual article configuration panel is completed, the server establishes a mapping relationship among the live broadcast attribute, the article slot position and the virtual article, and stores the mapping relationship.

Further, the server sends the virtual article corresponding to the article slot position to the audience according to the mapping relation. Illustratively, the server determines that the live broadcast attribute of the live broadcast room currently displayed by the spectator is the game live broadcast room. The game direct broadcast room comprises an article slot position 1, an article slot position 2 and an article slot position 3; the article slot position 1 corresponds to the virtual article A, the article slot position 2 corresponds to the virtual article B, and the article slot position 3 corresponds to the virtual article C. The server side sends the virtual article corresponding to each article slot position to the audience side, so that the audience side displays an article slot position 1, an article slot position 2 and an article slot position 3 in the virtual article panel, displays a virtual article A in the article slot position 1, displays a virtual article B in the article slot position 2 and displays a virtual article C in the article slot position 3.

In the display control method of the virtual article, the configuration mode of the virtual article is visually deployed, the virtual article configuration panel is displayed in the screen of the server, and the virtual article configuration panel and the virtual article panel presented by the audience end both comprise a plurality of article slots. The server side responds to the attribute selection operation to obtain the selected live broadcast attribute; and responding to the virtual article configuration operation of the article slot position, acquiring the virtual article corresponding to the article slot position, and further establishing the direct broadcast attribute, the article slot position and the mapping relation between the virtual articles. The mapping relation is used for indicating the audience to display the corresponding virtual article in the article slot position of the virtual article panel. By introducing the concept of the article slot positions, the virtual articles are visually configured by taking the article slot positions as units, so that the flexibility of configuring the virtual articles is greatly improved, and the time cost for configuring the virtual articles is reduced. By introducing the concept of the live broadcast attribute, the corresponding relation between the live broadcast attribute and the virtual article panel is established, so that the styles of the virtual article panels displayed by different audiences are different, and the diversity of the virtual article panels displayed by the audiences is improved.

In an exemplary embodiment, the live property may be customizable. For example, white list attributes are established for a specified anchor account and/or viewer account; alternatively, custom specified live room conditions (e.g., live room viewership) establish ab experiment attributes. As shown in fig. 5, the method further comprises:

in step S510, a live property configuration page is displayed.

Specifically, the live property configuration page may be displayed after a property configuration operation in response to the live property. The attribute configuration operation can be triggered by means of a preset setting menu, an attribute configuration control and the like. And after the server receives the attribute configuration operation, displaying a live attribute configuration page. A plurality of edit sections, such as a basic property (e.g., property name, property id) edit section, a property condition edit section, and the like, may be included in the live property configuration page.

In step S520, a target live property parameter is received through the live property configuration page.

The target live broadcast attribute parameter refers to a parameter configured for a live broadcast attribute and is used for defining the content and the attribute of a live broadcast room and/or a main broadcast account.

Specifically, the server may receive a target live attribute parameter configured by the user through each editing area in the live attribute configuration page. Illustratively, customizable live attributes include whitelist attributes and ab experiment attributes. And when the server detects the selection operation of the white list attribute, displaying a live attribute configuration page shown in fig. 6 a. Referring to fig. 6a, the live attribute configuration page of the white list attribute includes an id type editing area, an attribute name editing area, an id input area, an effective time editing area, and an ineffective time editing area. Correspondingly, when the server detects the selection operation of the ab experiment attribute, the live broadcast attribute configuration page shown in fig. 6b is displayed. Referring to fig. 6b, the live broadcast attribute configuration page of the ab experiment attribute includes an id type editing area, an attribute name editing area, an ab experiment parameter input area, and an experiment period.
