User interface display method and apparatus, device, and storage medium

A user interface display apparatus, the apparatus comprising:

• at least one memory configured to store program code;
• and
• at least one processor configured to read the program code and operate as instructed by the program code, the program code comprising:
• display code configured to cause the at least one processor to display a virtual environment image, an operation control and a minimap, the virtual environment image being an image in which a virtual environment around a virtual character, which is located in a virtual world, is observed from a perspective of the virtual character, wherein the minimap presents a thumbnail of the virtual world in which the virtual character is located;
• control code configured to cause the at least one processor to control, based on a control input via the operation control, activities of the virtual character in the virtual environment;
• and
• shielding code configured to cause the at least one processor to display, based on the virtual character being influenced by a target event in the virtual environment, the virtual environment image in a shielded state and the map presentation control in a blurred state, the shielded state and the blurred state being visually distinct.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer code that when executed by at least one processor causes the at least one processor to:

• display a virtual environment image, an operation control, and a minimap, the virtual environment image being an image in which a virtual environment around a virtual character, which is located in a virtual world, is observed from a perspective of the virtual character, wherein the minimap presents a thumbnail of the virtual world in which the virtual character is located;
• control, based on a control input via the operation control, activities of the virtual character in the virtual environment;
• and
• display, based on the virtual character being influenced by a target event in the virtual environment, the virtual environment image in a shielded state and the minimap in a blurred state, the shielded state and the blurred state being visually distinct.
