The following embodiments are illustrated with the terminal comprising a smartphone.

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that the number of terminals described above may be greater or fewer. For example, the number of the terminals may be only one, or several tens or hundreds of the terminals, or more. The number of terminals and the type of the device are not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

Based on the implementation environment, in the current shooting game at the mobile terminal, the relationship among sound elements such as gunshot, ambient sound, explosion sound, player voice and the like is processed at a constant volume ratio, optionally, volume adjustment options of system sound and player voice sound elements are provided for a user, and the user manually adjusts the volume ratio of the two sound elements.

On one hand, no matter the volume ratio set by the system or the volume ratio adjusted by the user, the volume ratio of each sound element in the shooting game can only be kept in a relatively fixed ratio, so that the listening feeling of the mixed sound is relatively single, the user can only integrally adjust the voice (human voice) of the player or the system sound (gunshot, environmental sound, explosion sound and the like), a certain type of system sound cannot be specifically adjusted in detail, the operation difficulty of manual adjustment of the user is high, the user is difficult to adjust various sound elements to a proper volume ratio, and the operability of audio adjustment is poor.

On the other hand, in the outdoor virtual environment, if there are many sound elements triggered at the same time, some sound elements with a small sound pressure level are easily covered by sound elements with a large sound pressure level, and some sound elements which need to be highlighted, need to draw the attention of the user, and can bring a refreshing feeling to the user cannot dynamically adjust the volume ratio, so that the listening experience of audio mixing is seriously damaged, and a poor audio playing effect is caused.

In view of this, the embodiment of the present application provides an audio processing method, and for multiple sound elements appearing at the same time, a machine can only select to reduce the volume of a certain type of sound elements, so that the sound elements that are not reduced can be highlighted, so that the mixed sound has a more stereoscopic and clear hierarchical sense, and can follow psychoacoustic logic, thereby creating an immersive game experience with a more substituted sense for a user from an audio level.

Fig. 2 is a flowchart of an audio processing method according to an embodiment of the present application. Referring to fig. 2, the embodiment is applied to an electronic device, and is described by taking the electronic device as an example, where the terminal includes the first terminal or the second terminal in the above implementation environment, and the embodiment includes the following contents:

201. and the terminal responds to the situation that the first virtual object is positioned in the outdoor virtual environment, and plays a first audio which is a background sound effect of the outdoor virtual environment.

Optionally, the terminal is an electronic device used by any user, an application program supporting a virtual environment and audio playing, such as a shooting game application, an MOBA game application, and the like, is installed on the terminal, and the user can start the application program on the terminal and log in the application program.

Optionally, the first virtual object refers to a virtual object currently manipulated by the user on the terminal, that is, the first virtual object refers to a controlled virtual object.

Alternatively, the outdoor virtual environment refers to a virtual environment located outside a building, for example, the outdoor virtual environment includes types of forest, sea, desert, city, etc., and different types of outdoor virtual environments generally have different background sound effects (colloquially called "ambient sound"), which are a type of sound elements in the outdoor virtual environment that are most stable and persistent, and exist in the game background throughout the entire flow of the game.

Optionally, the first audio refers to a background sound effect corresponding to an outdoor virtual environment where the first virtual object is currently located.

In some embodiments, the terminal starts the application program in response to a start operation of the application program by a user, where the start operation may be that the user performs a touch operation on an icon of the application program on a desktop of the terminal, or the user inputs a start instruction for the application program to the intelligent voice assistant, and the start instruction may include a voice instruction or a text instruction, and the type of the start instruction is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

In some embodiments, when the user sets an automatic start condition for the application program, the terminal automatically starts the application program by the terminal operating system when detecting that the automatic start condition of the application program is met, optionally, the automatic start condition is to periodically start the application program, for example, 8 o' clock starts the application program every night, or the automatic start condition is to start the application program automatically after starting up, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the automatic start condition of the application program.

In some embodiments, the terminal starts an application program, and displays an operation interface in the application program, where the operation interface includes a selection control for the office mode, a setting control for an account option, a selection control for a virtual environment, and the like. Optionally, the terminal detects, in real time, a selection operation of the user on each game mode in the operation interface, and determines the selected game mode as the game mode configured in the current game. Optionally, the selection operation may be a click operation, a long-time press operation, or the like, or may also be a trigger operation on a shortcut key corresponding to any pair of office modes, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

Optionally, after the user selects the office matching mode in the operation interface, the terminal detects, in real time, a selection operation of the user on each virtual environment in the operation interface, and determines the selected virtual environment as the virtual environment configured in the office, and optionally, the selection operation may be a click operation, a long-time press operation, or the like, or a trigger operation on a shortcut key corresponding to any virtual environment, which is not limited in this embodiment of the application.

After the user selects the virtual environment, the terminal starts the game, and loads the virtual environment selected by the user, it should be noted that if the user does not select the virtual environment, the terminal loads the virtual environment configured by default in the current game-matching mode. Optionally, the terminal obtains an environment type of the loaded virtual environment, obtains an environment identifier (Identification) of the outdoor virtual environment in response to that the environment type is the outdoor virtual environment, queries, using the environment ID as an index, a background sound effect stored corresponding to the environment ID from an audio library, obtains the queried background sound effect as a first audio, and invokes an audio playing control to play the first audio.

Optionally, the audio library may be a local database, which is equivalent to that the terminal reads the first audio from the local disk or the local cache, so that the time for acquiring the first audio can be shortened.

The above process shows a possible implementation manner of querying the first audio based on the environment ID when different outdoor virtual environments correspond to different background audio effects, and in another possible implementation manner, all the outdoor virtual environments correspond to the same background audio effect, so the terminal does not need to acquire the environment ID, and only needs to acquire the unique background audio effect stored in the audio library as the first audio, which is not specifically limited by the embodiment of the present application. Similarly, the audio library may be located locally or in the cloud, which is not described herein.

In some embodiments, when the terminal plays the first audio, the playing volume of the first audio is determined, and then the first audio is played based on the playing volume, optionally, the playing volume is a default value of a system or is manually set by a user, and the setting mode of the playing volume is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

It should be noted that, when configuring the playing volume of the first audio, the terminal should not be too large or too small, and when the playing volume is too large, the background sound effect may cover the action sound of the second virtual object, so as to affect the information acquisition efficiency of the first virtual object during combat, where the second virtual object refers to other virtual objects besides the first virtual object, and when the playing volume is too small, the user is difficult to notice the background sound effect, which may result in a thin scene sound of the outdoor virtual environment and lack of substitution feeling.

In some embodiments, the first audio includes at least one of a continuous Loop layer or a point sound source, where the Loop layer refers to a scene sound that exists all the time continuously, such as wind sound, city background sound, forest background sound, and the like, and generally needs to be played circularly, and the point sound source refers to a sound generated by a point sound source that triggers playing at certain time intervals in a virtual scene, such as cicada sound, bird sound, and the like.

202. And the terminal responds to the first virtual object to transmit the virtual prop in the outdoor virtual environment and plays a second audio, wherein the second audio is the transmitting sound effect of the virtual prop.

Optionally, the virtual prop includes a throwing virtual weapon such as a grenade, a mine tied in a bundle, a viscous grenade, a laser tripmine, or the virtual prop further includes a shooting virtual weapon such as a machine gun, a pistol, a rifle, a sentry ring machine gun, and the embodiment of the present application does not specifically limit the type of the virtual prop.

In some embodiments, the terminal displays a call control in the outdoor virtual environment, and when a user wants to call a virtual prop, the terminal performs a trigger operation on the call control, and then receives a trigger signal to the call control, triggers a creation instruction, and creates the virtual prop. The calling control is used for calling the virtual prop to enter the outdoor virtual environment, and the shape of the calling control can be a button which is displayed in the outdoor virtual environment in a floating mode.

Optionally, after the terminal completes creating the virtual item in the outdoor virtual environment, the virtual item is displayed on a target portion of the first virtual object to show that the first virtual object can control the virtual item, for example, the target portion includes at least one of a shoulder, a waist, or a back of the first virtual object.

Optionally, after the terminal displays the virtual prop, a shooting control of the virtual prop is displayed in the outdoor virtual environment, where the shooting control is used to trigger a first virtual object to launch the virtual prop, and in response to detecting a triggering operation of the shooting control by a user, the first virtual object is controlled to launch the virtual prop in the outdoor virtual environment, so that a launching process of the virtual prop is displayed in the outdoor virtual environment.

In some embodiments, during launching of the virtual item, in response to detecting a user-triggered operation of the firing control, a view mode of the outdoor virtual environment is adjusted from a panoramic view for omni-directionally observing behavior of a second virtual object in the outdoor virtual environment to a local view for more clearly observing a range of local scenes in the outdoor virtual environment. Under local field of vision, the user can adjust the accurate heart that virtual stage property aimed to in user control first virtual object carry out more accurate shooting operation. Optionally, when the view mode is adjusted, a focal length of a virtual Camera (Camera) mounted on the first virtual object is adjusted in the outdoor virtual environment, a local scene in a target range of the current center of gravity is enlarged to a target multiple, and the enlarged local scene is displayed.

Optionally, the triggering operation on the shooting control includes, but is not limited to, a combination of one or more of clicking, long-pressing, double-clicking, pressing, and the like, in one example, if the triggering operation on the shooting control is pressing, the virtual prop may be triggered to be launched in a loose-hand manner after the user is adjusted on the center in the local view, and in another example, if the triggering operation on the shooting control is clicking, the virtual prop may be triggered to be launched in a manner of clicking the shooting control again after the user is adjusted on the center in the local view.

In some embodiments, in response to the first virtual object transmitting the virtual item in the outdoor virtual environment, since the virtual item usually generates sound effects such as gunshot, explosion, and the like when being transmitted, the terminal acquires the item ID of the virtual item, uses the item ID as an index, queries the transmission sound effect stored corresponding to the item ID from the audio library, acquires the queried transmission sound effect as the second audio, and invokes the audio playing control to play the second audio. Optionally, the second audio comprises at least one of a gunshot, an explosion, or a gunpowder.

It should be noted that the manner of playing the second audio in step 202 is similar to the manner of playing the first audio in step 201, and is not described herein again.

203. And when the terminal plays the second audio, the volume of the first audio is reduced.

Optionally, the terminal decreases the volume of the first audio by a first decibel within a first target time length after the play start time of the second audio. The first target duration is any value greater than or equal to 0, and the first target duration is less than or equal to the playing duration of the second audio, for example, the first target duration is 1 second.

In the above process, after detecting the play event of the second audio, the terminal determines the play start time, and decreases the volume of the first audio by the first decibel within the first target duration after the play start time, that is, the terminal obtains the target volume obtained by subtracting the first decibel from the play volume of the first audio, and decreases the volume of the first audio from the play volume to the target volume. The first decibel is any value greater than 0, for example, the first decibel is 6 decibels.

In some embodiments, the terminal reduces the volume of the first audio based on an Auto-avoidance (Auto-closing) function. The auto-evasion function is an audio processing means for lowering the volume level of one audio signal in order to make the other audio signal in parallel more prominent. In one example, the terminal provides this auto-evasion function based on a Wwise audio engine.

Optionally, the terminal decreases the volume of the first audio according to an S-shaped audio control Curve (S-current) in response to detecting a play event of the second audio based on the auto-evasion function. In the process, after the terminal detects the playing event of the second audio, the volume of the first audio can be gradually reduced through the S-Curve, and the S-Curve is a smooth envelope Curve, so that a user cannot suddenly perceive the sudden drop of the background sound effect, and better listening experience can be brought.

In the process, the volume of the first audio is reduced within the first target duration, so that a user can concentrate on listening to the second audio (namely the emission sound effect of the virtual prop), the volume ratio of the first audio and the second audio can be dynamically adjusted in a self-adaptive manner along with the behavior change of the first virtual object, and therefore, in the real-time game process, the main sound information is highlighted, the secondary sound information is weakened, the listening experience of audio mixing is greatly improved, and the audio playing effect is optimized.

In an exemplary scenario, if the first target duration is less than the playing duration of the second audio, at this time, after the terminal gradually reduces the volume of the first audio to the target volume, the first audio is still played at the target volume without being continuously reduced, so that the user is prevented from hearing the background sound effect of the outdoor virtual environment.

In an exemplary scenario, if the second target duration is equal to the playing duration of the second audio, at this time, as the second audio is gradually played, the volume of the first audio is gradually reduced, and until the second audio is played, the reduction of the volume of the first audio is stopped, so that the real environment can be met, as the engagement state is more and more intense, the human ear has higher capturing capability for the transmitting sound effect with a higher sound pressure level, and at this time, the continuous background sound effect can be slowly ignored.

In other embodiments, the terminal may decrease the volume of the first audio based on a side chain effector in addition to the auto-evasion function. Optionally, the terminal modulates the volume of the first audio based on the side-chain effector in response to the side-chain effector detecting the level signal of the second audio, wherein the volume of the modulated first audio is smaller than the volume of the first audio before modulation. The side chain control of the volume can be realized by using the side chain effector to reduce the volume, that is, by using a Real-Time Parameter control (RTPC) to correlate the output level.

Alternatively, before modulating the volume, the terminal may make the following initialization settings: creating a control Parameter (Game Parameter) associated with the output level value; mounting the side chain effector on the second audio, that is, mounting the side chain effector on an input object (second audio) of the side face signal; the control parameter is associated with the volume of the modulated object of the side chain effector, that is, the control parameter is associated with the modulated object (first audio) at the output end of the side chain.

The difference between the RTPC method and the auto-evasion method is that the auto-evasion method monitors the playing event of the second audio to determine whether to compress the first audio in volume, however, if there is a blank sound segment (commonly called a mute period) at the beginning or end of the second audio, the volume of the first audio is still reduced when the second audio starts playing the blank segment, which may bring the user with the problem of suddenly weakening the background sound effect, while the RTPC method determines whether to start volume compression by detecting whether there is a level signal of the second audio, so that the volume compression of the first audio can be completed synchronously at the moment when the level signal is generated by the second audio in real time, although the operation is slightly more complicated than the auto-evasion method, the real-time performance is better.

In some embodiments, the terminal increases the volume of the first audio by the first decibel within a second target duration after the end time of playing the second audio. That is to say, the terminal restores the volume of the first audio to the playing volume before the second audio is played, so that the volume of the background sound effect can be increased in time to restore the volume to a normal value after the first virtual object finishes shooting the virtual item, and the game can bring stronger substitution and reality in the sound effect.

In some embodiments, the terminal, in response to the virtual prop hitting the second virtual object, plays a third audio, where the third audio is a hit prompt audio of the virtual prop, and the hit prompt audio is a prompt sound generated by the first virtual object hitting the second virtual object in cooperation with a visual sight-aiming expansion effect, and is used to prompt the virtual prop to hit the second virtual object; when the third audio is played, the action volume of the first virtual object and the volume of the second audio are reduced; and after the third video is played, the action volume and the volume of the second audio are increased.

In the process, when the terminal hits the virtual prop to the second virtual object, because the hit prompt sound effect (the third audio) usually has a low-middle frequency tone, the volume of the third audio is smaller than that of the second audio, and the hit prompt sound effect is easily covered by the second audio with a higher frequency in an aggressive battle.

In some embodiments, the terminal responds to a second virtual object in the outdoor virtual environment to send out an action, and plays a fourth audio, wherein the fourth audio comprises at least one of action sound effect or environment interaction sound effect of the second virtual object, for example, the fourth audio comprises footsteps sound, shaking friction sound of clothes or a backpack, and the like; in response to the first virtual object displacing in the outdoor virtual environment, reducing the volume of the fourth audio, e.g., the first virtual object displacing by a rush, jump, etc. action; and in response to the completion of the displacement of the first virtual object, increasing the volume of the fourth audio.

In the process, when the terminal controls the first virtual object to generate displacement (such as rapid running, jumping and the like), the action sound effect and the environment interaction sound effect of the first virtual object are played, and simultaneously the action sound effect and the environment interaction sound effect (fourth audio frequency) emitted by the second virtual object in the same outdoor virtual environment are pressed down, so that the capacity of the first virtual object for acquiring sound information during displacement is weakened, for some users with rich shooting game experience, because the users are very familiar with the topography of the outdoor virtual scene, the users are just as good as fingers for a high-price search area of the outdoor virtual scene, the users often find the most favorable battle place during opening or fighting, the exposure risk of the users can be improved by weakening the capacity of the first virtual object for acquiring the sound information during displacement, and the users are forced to decide during action, the game system can balance the game mechanism by giving up the rapid action and actively stopping to acquire information or selecting to actively strike and give up part of information acquisition.

All the above optional technical solutions can be combined arbitrarily to form the optional embodiments of the present disclosure, and are not described herein again.

According to the method provided by the embodiment of the application, the first audio serving as the background sound effect is played in the outdoor virtual environment, once the first virtual object starts shooting operation, the volume of the first audio is adaptively reduced by the machine in the process of playing the emission sound effect, so that a user can focus on listening to the second audio, a playing strategy of dynamically and intelligently adjusting the volume ratio of the first audio and the second audio along with the behavior change of the first virtual object is achieved, main sound information can be highlighted, secondary sound information can be weakened in the process of real-time game, and the audio playing effect is optimized.

And the terminal responds to the play event of the second audio detected based on the automatic dodging function, and reduces the volume of the first audio by a first decibel according to the S-shaped audio control curve within a first target time length after the play starting moment of the second audio.

Optionally, the first target duration is any value greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to the playing duration of the second audio, for example, the first target duration is 1 second.

In the above process, when the first virtual object is in the non-engagement state, the volume of the first audio (environmental sound) is in the normal state, and when the first virtual object starts to launch the virtual property, since the second audio (gun sound, explosion sound, etc.) with a higher sound pressure level is played at the same time, the volume of the first audio is automatically reduced, in an example, taking the outdoor virtual environment as a forest, since the first audio includes the Loop layer of the environmental sound and the bird and cicada singing of the point sound source, the Loop layer of the environmental sound can be reduced when the gun sound or the explosion sound occurs, and the bird and cicada singing can be greatly reduced, optionally, based on the following step 304, when the gun sound or the explosion sound gradually disappears, the environmental sound reappears.

In step 303, a process is provided in which the terminal reduces the volume of the first audio based on an automatic evasion function, and the automatic evasion mode has the characteristics of simple operation flow and simple parameter setting, and can improve the audio processing efficiency. In other words, in response to detecting the play event of the second audio based on the auto-evasion function, the volume of the first audio is reduced according to the S-Curve, and of course, the terminal may also use a triangular waveform volume control Curve, a sinusoidal waveform volume control Curve, or a more smooth envelope Curve set by a technician in addition to the S-Curve, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit what volume control Curve is specifically used to reduce the volume of the first audio.

Optionally, the terminal modulates the volume of the first audio based on the side-chain effector in response to the side-chain effector detecting the level signal of the second audio, wherein the volume of the modulated first audio is smaller than the volume of the first audio before modulation. The side chain control of the volume can be realized by using the side chain effector to reduce the volume, that is, by using a Real-Time Parameter control (RTPC) to correlate the output level.
