Abstract

A control method includes obtaining information of an external environment and operating information of a target application and switching the controlled object from a first operating state to a second operating state based on a correspondence among the external environment information, the operating information of the target application and an operating state. The target application is an application configured to respond to information of an external operation to cause an object controlled by the target application to generate a corresponding response. The correspondence indicates the operating state of the object under different information of the external environment information and different operating information of the target application. An application parameter of the target application corresponding to the controlled object being in the first operating state is different from an application parameter of the target application corresponding to the controlled object being in the second operating state.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A control method, comprising:
obtaining information of an external environment and operating information of a target application, the target application being an application configured to respond to information of an external operation to cause an object controlled by the target application to generate a corresponding response, the information of the external environment, being different from the information of the external operation, is collected by a terminal corresponding to the target application via a sensor, the external environment information being at least related to one of: a natural environment, including temperature, intensity of light, time of the day, and location where the terminal corresponding to the target application is located, and a current state of a user corresponding to the target application, wherein the current state of the user includes an operating duration, an interacting moment, and an interacting duration; and
switching the controlled object from a first operating state to a second operating state based on a correspondence among the external environment information, the operating information of the target application and an operating state, the correspondence indicating the operating state of the object under different information of the external environment information and different operating information of the target application, and an application parameter of the target application corresponding to the controlled object being in the first operating state being different from an application parameter of the target application corresponding to the controlled object being in the second operating state.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the application parameter comprises a control parameter of the controlled object and an attribute parameter of the controlled object.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the operating information of the target application is data information of the target application obtained by a terminal corresponding to the target application via a processor, the operating information of the target application being at least related to one of: an operating time of the target application, an operating time duration of the target application, the moment when the controlled object is being controlled, and the time duration during which the controlled object is controlled.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in response to the current state of the user being a natural attribute of the user, switching the controlled object from a first operating state to a second operating state based on the correspondence between the information of the external environment information and an operating state comprises:
determining an emotional state of the user based on the natural attribute of the user; and
adjusting the controlled object from a current operating state to an operating state corresponding to the emotional state based on the emotional state.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein in response to the current state of the user being a behavioral characteristic of the user, switching the controlled object from a first operating state to a second operating state based on the correspondence between the information of the external environment information and an operating state comprises:
determining a category of the behavioral characteristic of the user based on the behavioral characteristic of the user; and
switching the controlled object from a current state to an operating state corresponding to the category of the behavioral characteristic based on the category of the behavioral characteristic of the user.

6. The method according to claim 3 , wherein in response to the operating information of the target application being the moment when the controlled object is being controlled, switching the target application from a first operating state to a second operating state based on the correspondence between the operating information of the target application and an operating state comprises:
in response to the moment when the controlled object is being controlled being within a specific time period, switching the controlled object from the current operating state to a specific operating state, an application parameter corresponding to the specific operating state being worse than an application parameter corresponding to the current operating state.

7. The method according to claim 3 , where in response to the operating information of the target application being the time duration during which the controlled object is controlled, switching the target application from a first operating state to a second operating state based on the correspondence between the operating information of the target application and an operating state comprises:
in response to the controlled object being controlled for longer than a specific time duration, switching the controlled object from the current operating state to a specific operating state, an application parameter corresponding to the specific operating state being worse than an application parameter corresponding to the current operating state.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein:
in response to the target application being a game application, obtaining the information of the external environment and operating information of the target application comprises:
obtaining the information of the external environment corresponding to a player of the game application and the operating information of the game application; and

switching the controlled object from a first operating state to a second operating state based on the correspondence among the information of the external environment information, the operating information of the target application and the operating state comprises:
controlling a game character in the game application to be from a first operating state to a second operating state based on the correspondence among information of the external environment corresponding to the player, the operating information of the game application and the operating state, an ability value of the controlled object in response to the game character being in the first operating state being different from an ability value of the controlled object in response to the game character being in the second operating state.

9. A control device, comprising:
a first acquisition module configured to obtain information of an external environment and operating information of a target application, the target application being an application capable of responding to information of an external operation to cause a controlled object to generate a corresponding response, the information of the external environment, being different from the information of the external operation, is collected by a terminal corresponding to the target application via a sensor, the external environment information being at least related to one of: a natural environment, including temperature, intensity of light, time of the day, and location where the terminal corresponding to the target application is located, and a current state of a user corresponding to the target application, wherein the current state of the user includes an operating duration, an interacting moment, and an interacting duration; and
a first control module configured to switch the controlled object from a first operating state to a second operating based on a correspondence among the information of the external environment, the operating information of the target application and the operating state, the correspondence indicating an operating state of the controlled object under different information of the external environment and different operating information of the ta
