and when the target image contains an additional virtual object other than the first virtual object, acquiring attribute tagging information for the additional virtual object in response to a tagging operation on the additional virtual object in the preview screen, wherein the attribute tagging information comprises presumed identity information for the additional virtual object. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein displaying the preview screen of the target image comprises: displaying the preview screen of the target image and an attribute tagging control, the attribute tagging control comprising: at least one attribute tag; and wherein acquiring the attribute tagging information for the additional virtual object in response to the tagging operation on the additional virtual object in the preview screen, comprises: acquiring the attribute tagging information for the additional virtual object in response to the tagging operation that moves a target tag of the at least one attribute tag to the additional virtual object. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method of claim 6, wherein after acquiring the attribute tagging information for the additional virtual object, the method further comprises: displaying the attribute tag within a preset range of the additional virtual object; and in response to an undo move operation, deleting the attribute tagging information for the additional virtual object after moving the attribute tag a preset distance away from the additional virtual object. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: obtaining capture time information and/or position coordinate information of the target image. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein storing the target image comprises: recognizing that the target image contains a virtual object other than the first virtual object that does not meet a preset condition, eliminating the virtual object that does not meet the preset condition, and acquiring an updated image, wherein the virtual object that does not meet the preset condition comprises a virtual object having an exposed area in a current virtual scene that is less than a preset proportion of the virtual object's own area; and storing the updated image as the reasoning record image of the first virtual object. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein storing the target image comprises: determining whether one or more reasoning record images of the first virtual object currently stored have reached a preset number; and in response to the one or more reasoning record images reaching the preset number, deleting a reasoning record image of the one or more reasoning record images that is the oldest from current time according to an order of storage time, and storing the target image as the reasoning record image of the first virtual object. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising: in response to an operation on a first image view control in the first game task phase, displaying a thumbnail of at least one reasoning record image currently stored; and in response to a selection operation on a target thumbnail in the thumbnail, displaying a standard image corresponding to the target thumbnail. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein displaying the reasoning record image in response to the view command triggered in the second game task phase, comprises: in response to an operation on a second image view control in the second game task phase, displaying a thumbnail of at least one reasoning record image currently stored; and in response to a selection operation on a target thumbnail in the thumbnail, displaying a standard image corresponding to the target thumbnail. ### Claim 13 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein after the game enters the second game task phase, virtual objects of all game players in a current virtual scene are displayed on the graphical user interface; and the method further comprises: displaying the attribute tagging information corresponding to the tagged virtual object within a preset range of the tagged virtual object in the current virtual scene, wherein the attribute tagging information corresponds to a reasoning record image closest to current time. ### Claim 14 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein after the game enters the second game task phase, virtual objects of all game players in a current virtual scene are displayed on the graphical user interface; and the method further comprises: in response to an operation on a second image view control in the second game task phase, displaying a thumbnail of at least one reasoning record image currently stored; and in response to a selection operation on a target thumbnail in the thumbnail, displaying a standard image corresponding to the target thumbnail, wherein the attribute tagging information corresponding to the tagged virtual object is displayed within a preset range of the tagged virtual object in the standard image. ### Claim 15 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8, wherein after the game enters the second game task phase, the method further comprises: in response to an operation on a second image view control in the second game task phase, displaying a thumbnail of at least one reasoning record image currently stored, wherein corresponding capture time information and/or position coordinate information is displayed at a preset position of the thumbnail. ### Claim 16 (canceled) ### Claim 17 A device for recording a scene in a game, comprising: a processor, a storage medium and a bus, the storage medium storing machine-readable instructions executable by the processor; wherein the processor communicates with the storage medium via the bus when the device for recording the scene in the game is in operation, and the processor executes the machine-readable instructions to;
