Abstract

An object of this disclosure is to provide a technology for providing 3D reading scenarios. The technology includes: acquiring, in a VR reading mode, corresponding 3D scenario information based on a literature work currently read by a user; and establishing, in cooperation with VR glasses, a 3D reading scenario for the literature work based on the 3D scenario information. Compared with the existing technologies, this disclosure can acquire the corresponding 3D scenario information based on the literature work, and establish the 3D reading scenario for the literature work using the 3D scenario information. Moreover, this disclosure in cooperation with VR glasses further realizes an immersed reading experience by reading literature works in a 3D scenario. This not only improves the monotone disadvantage of the traditional reading scenario, but also brings users into an immersed reading environment in the reading process, and greatly enhances the users' reading experience.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for providing a three-dimensional (3D) reading scenario, comprising:
acquiring, in a virtual reality (VR) reading mode, corresponding 3D scenario information based on a literature work currently read by a user, wherein the 3D scenario information is determined based on a category of the literature work; and
establishing, in cooperation with VR glasses, a 3D reading scenario for the literature work based on the 3D scenario information,
wherein the 3D scenario information is acquired from a 3D scenario information base, the 3D scenario information base comprises: a local 3D scenario information base maintained locally and a network 3D scenario information base stored at a network side,
wherein the local 3D scenario information base is configured to: record 3D scenario information actually used by each literature work or category, and upload relevant information about the use of the 3D scenario information to the network 3D scenario information base; and
the network 3D scenario information base is configured to: count, based on said relevant information received from the local 3D scenario information base, the use frequency of each piece of 3D scenario information and the association degree between the each piece of 3D scenario information and the category of the literature work.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the 3D scenario information is updated based on different chapters of the literature work.

3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
acquiring a corresponding audio file based on the literature work.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:
configuring a reading function parameter of the 3D reading scenario.

5. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the reading function parameter comprises:
a page turning interval.

6. The method according to claim 1 , wherein before entering the VR reading mode, the method further comprises:
calibrating the VR glasses.

7. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the literature work corresponds to pieces of 3D scenario information, grading the pieces of 3D scenario information, and matching a piece of 3D scenario information to a chapter of the literature work according to grades.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the category of the literature work comprises at least one of:
history, love, martial arts, mysteries, fantasy, magic, science, suspense, detective, whodunits, urban, or time-travel.

9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the local 3D scenario information base is updated based on the network 3D scenario information base, and the network 3D scenario information base is updated based on the local 3D scenario information base.

10. An apparatus for providing a three-dimensional (3D) reading scenario, comprising:
at least one processor; and
a memory storing instructions, the instructions when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
acquiring, in a virtual reality (VR) reading mode, corresponding 3D scenario information based on a literature work currently read by a user, wherein the 3D scenario information is determined based on a category of the literature work; and
establishing, in cooperation with VR glasses, a 3D reading scenario for the literature work based on the 3D scenario information,
wherein the 3D scenario information is acquired from a 3D scenario information base, the 3D scenario information base comprises: a local 3D scenario information base maintained locally and a network 3D scenario information base stored at a network side,
wherein the local 3D scenario information base is configured to: record 3D scenario information actually used by each literature work or category, and upload relevant information about the use of the 3D scenario information to the network 3D scenario information base; and
the network 3D scenario information base is configured to: count, based on said relevant information received from the local 3D scenario information base, the use frequency of each piece of 3D scenario information and the association degree between the each piece of 3D scenario information and the category of the literature work.

11. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the 3D scenario information is updated based on different chapters of the literature work.

12. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
acquiring a corresponding audio file based on the literature work.

13. The apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the operations further comprise:
configuring a reading function parameter of the 3D reading scenario.

14. The apparatus according to claim 13 , wherein the reading function parameter comprises:
