Abstract

In an implementation, inputting a password in a virtual reality (VR) scene is described. An interactive input interface in the VR scene for a user of a VR device is presented. The interface comprises multiple input units used for an overall input. Each input unit comprises one or more input elements. A determination is made that a user scene focus in the VR scene is on a selected input unit. A determination is made that a movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit satisfies an input condition. In response to a determination that the movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit satisfies the input condition, the input elements in the selected input unit are used as a part of an input password.

Claims (46)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

presenting an interactive input interface in a virtual reality (VR) scene for a user of a VR device, wherein the interactive input interface comprises a plurality of input units used for an overall input, and wherein each input unit of the plurality of input units comprises one or more input elements;

determining that a user scene focus in the VR scene is on a selected input unit of the plurality of input units;

determining that a movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit of the plurality of input units satisfies an input condition, wherein the movement track includes at least one of a circular track, a square track, a triangular track, and a drawing of a predetermined graphic; and

in response to determining that the movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit of the plurality of input units satisfies the input condition, using the input elements in the selected input unit of the plurality of input units as a part of an input password.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein an input element includes at least one of a digit, a character, or an image, wherein the input password is split into a plurality of segments, and wherein each segment of the plurality of segments is input through a single interaction.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein presenting the interactive input interface in the VR scene comprises:

presenting the plurality of input units used for the overall input in a three-dimensional space of the VR scene based on a predetermined arrangement order.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein determining that the movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit of the plurality of input units satisfies the input condition comprises:

determining that the movement track is a circular track around all the input elements in the selected input unit of the plurality of input units, wherein the circular track is a clockwise track or a counterclockwise track.

5. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

in a password input process, identifying that the user selects at least two input units of the plurality of input units;

obtaining input elements in the at least two input units of the plurality of input units; and

combining, based on an order of obtaining the at least two input units of the plurality of input units, the input elements in the at least two input units of the plurality of input units to obtain the input password.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the user scene focus comprises a gaze focus of the user or a device control focus controlled by using an input device of the VR device, and each input unit of the plurality of input units comprises at least three input elements.

7. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing one or more instructions executable by a computer system to perform operations comprising:

presenting an interactive input interface in a virtual reality (VR) scene for a user of a VR device, wherein the interactive input interface comprises a plurality of input units used for an overall input, and wherein each input unit of the plurality of input units comprises one or more input elements;

determining that a user scene focus in the VR scene is on a selected input unit of the plurality of input units;

determining that a movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit of the plurality of input units satisfies an input condition, wherein the movement track includes at least one of a circular track, a square track, a triangular track, and a drawing of a predetermined graphic; and

in response to determining that the movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit of the plurality of input units satisfies the input condition, using the input elements in the selected input unit of the plurality of input units as a part of an input password.

8. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein an input element includes at least one of a digit, a character, or an image, wherein the input password is split into a plurality of segments, and wherein each segment of the plurality of segments is input through a single interaction.

9. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein presenting the interactive input interface in the VR scene comprises:

presenting the plurality of input units used for the overall input in a three-dimensional space of the VR scene based on a predetermined arrangement order.

10. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein determining that the movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit of the plurality of input units satisfies the input condition comprises:

determining that the movement track is a circular track around all the input elements in the selected input unit of the plurality of input units, wherein the circular track is a clockwise track or a counterclockwise track.

11. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , the operations further comprising:

in a password input process, identifying that the user selects at least two input units of the plurality of input units;

obtaining input elements in the at least two input units of the plurality of input units; and

combining, based on an order of obtaining the at least two input units of the plurality of input units, the input elements in the at least two input units of the plurality of input units to obtain the input password.

12. The non-transitory, computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the user scene focus comprises a gaze focus of the user or a device control focus controlled by using an input device of the VR device, and each input unit of the plurality of input units comprises at least three input elements.

13. A computer-implemented system, comprising:

one or more computers; and

one or more computer memory devices interoperably coupled with the one or more computers and having tangible, non-transitory, machine-readable media storing one or more instructions that, when executed by the one or more computers, perform one or more operations comprising:

presenting an interactive input interface in a virtual reality (VR) scene for a user of a VR device, wherein the interactive input interface comprises a plurality of input units used for an overall input, and wherein each input unit of the plurality of input units comprises one or more input elements;

determining that a user scene focus in the VR scene is on a selected input unit of the plurality of input units;

determining that a movement track of the user scene focus on the selected input unit of the plurality of input units satisfies an input condition, wherein the movement track includes at least one of a circular track, a square track, a triangular track, and a drawing of a predetermined graphic; and
