Abstract
Systems and methods for facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space are presented herein. The user-generated content may be shared between users of different computing platforms. The computing platforms may be of different platform types. The user-generated content may be shared through platform type-specific conversions of the information that defines the user-generated content. The processing cost and/or other cost information may be determined and/or estimated.
Background
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 illustrates an implementation of a system for facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space.
FIG. 2 illustrates an implementation of a server employed in the system of FIG.
FIG. 3 illustrates an implementation of a method of facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space.
FIG. 4 illustrates an implementation of a method of facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space.DETAILED DESCRIPTION
FIG. 1 illustrates a system 100 for facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space, in accordance with one or more implementations. User-generated content of the virtual space may include content generated by users on source computing platforms that are of a particular platform type. The user-generated content may be shared with other users at end computing platforms that may be of a different platform type than that of the source computing platforms. The format of information (e.g., code) that defines the user-generated content may be specifically converted based on a particular platform type. A cost to execute the converted information that defines the user-generated content on an end computing platform may be different from the cost to execute the source information that defines the user-generated content on the source computing platform. The determination of such cost and/or related information may be used to provide notifica
Claims
1. A system for facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by computer-readable instructions to: receive information that defines user-generated content of a virtual space, wherein instances of the virtual space are executed by computing platforms of different platform types that are associated with users of the virtual space, wherein user-generated content corresponds to entry and/or selection of virtual space content by the users via source computing platforms, the entry and/or selection of the virtual space content corresponding to requests to define the user-generated content, and wherein the user-generated content is shareable between the source computing platforms and end computing platforms that are of the different platform types, the sharing being facilitated through platform type-specific conversions of the information that defines the user-generated content, the received information including first information that defines first user-generated content, the first user-generated content corresponding to entry and/or selection by a first user via a first source computing platform of virtual space content corresponding to requests to define the first user-generated content, wherein the first source computing platform is of a first platform type; and determine conversion attributes associated with the information that defines the user-generated content, including determining a first conversion attribute of the first information; obtain actual cost information associated with executing converted information on the end computing platforms of the different platform types, the obtained actualcost information including first actual cost information associated with executing first converted information on a first end computing platform, the first converted information provided by a first conversion of the first information, the first conversion being specific to a second platform type that is different from the first platform type, the first end computing platform being of the second platform type, wherein the first actual cost information includes an actual cost associated with the first conversion attribute; and determine impacts of the conversion attributes and/or combinations of the conversion attributes based on the obtained actual cost information and the source and end computing platform types, the determined impacts including a first impact of the first conversion attribute basedon the first actual cost information, the first platform type, and the second platform type.
7. A system for facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space,the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by computer-readable instructions to: receive information that defines user-generated content of a virtual space,wherein instances of the virtual space are executed by computing platforms of different platform types that are associated with users of the virtual space, wherein user-generated content corresponds to entry and/or selection of virtual space content by the users via source computing platforms, the entry and/or selection of virtual space content corresponding to requests to define the user-generated content, and wherein the user-generated contentis shareable between the source computing platforms and end computing platforms that are of the different platform types, the sharing being facilitated through platform type-specific conversions of the information that defines the user-generated content, the received information including first information that defines first user-generated content, the first user-generated content corresponding to entry and/or selection by a first user via a first source computing platform of virtual space content corresponding to requests to define the first user-generated content, wherein the first source computing platform is of a first platform type; determine estimated cost information associated with executing platform type-specific conversions of the information defining the user-generated content on the endcomputing platforms that are of different platform types than the source computing platforms; and effectuate presentation of notifications to the users, the notifications including information relating to the estimated cost information, such that, by virtue of determining first estimated cost information associated with executing a second platform type-specific conversion of the first information on a first end computing platform of the second platform type, presentation of a first notification on the first source computing platform and/or a second notification on the first end computing platform is effectuated.
14. A method of facilitating the sharing of user-generated content of a virtual space, the method being implemented in a computer system including one or more physical processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising: receiving information that defines user-generated content of a virtual space, wherein instances of the virtualspace are executed by computing platforms of different platform types that are associatedwith users of the virtual space, wherein user-generated content corresponds to entry and/or selection of virtual space content by the users via source computing platforms, the entry and/or selection of virtual space content corresponding to requests to define the user-generated content, and wherein the user-generated content is shareable between the source computing platforms and end computing platforms that are of the different platform types, the sharing being facilitated through platform type-specific conversions of the information that defines the user-generated content, the received information including first information that defines first user-generated content, the first user-generated content corresponding to entry and/or selection by a first user via a first source computing platform of virtual space content corresponding to requests to define the first user-generated content,wherein the first source computing platform is of a first platform type; determining estimated cost information associated with executing platform type-specific conversions of theinformation defining the user-generated content on the end computing platforms that are of different platform types than the source computing platforms; and effectuating presentation of notifications to the users, the notifications including information relating to theestimated cost information, such that, by virtue of determining first estimated cost information associated with executing a second platform type-specific conversion of the first information on a first end computing platform of the second platform type, presentation ofa first notification on the first source computing platform and/or a second notification on the first end computing platform is effectuated.
