Abstract
A system and method for providing personalization of a virtual space based on an individualized seed value. The system may provide personalization within one or more instances of a virtual space based on an individualized seed value derived from one or more biometric samples (e.g., a fingerprint) and/other individual identifiers. One or more values may be obtained and used as the individual seed value to generate pseudorandom numbers. Personalizations affecting characteristics of one or more aspects of the virtual space may be determined based on the pseudorandom numbers generated. Presentation of the personalizations determined may be effectuated in on or more instances of the virtual space.
Background
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE(1) This disclosure relates to providing personalization of a virtual space based on an individualized seed value.BACKGROUND(2) Typically, personalization within a virtual space may be limited to modifications made in response to in-space actions or user-selected customizations. For example, modifications may be made in response to actions performed by a character in a virtual space. As another example, a user may select from an in-space menu providing available customization options.SUMMARY(3) Exemplary implementations may facilitate providing personalization of a virtual space based on an individualized seed value. In some implementations, an individualized seed may be a value derived from a biometric sample. By way of non-limiting example, the biometric sample may include a fingerprint and/or other biometric identification. Pseudorandom numbers (i.e., numbers that appear random but are produced by a definite mathematical procedure) may be generated using the individualized seed value (e.g., the value derived from the biometric sample). One or more personalizations of the virtual space may be determined based on the pseudorandom numbers. Responsive to determining the one or more personalizations based on the pseudorandom number, presentation of the one or more personalizations may be effectuated. In some implementations, the values derived from biometric samples may provide inherently individualized seeds because of the physical differences between us
Claims
1. A system configured to provide personalization of a virtual space based on an individualized seed value, the system comprising: one or more physical computer processors configured by machine readable instructions to: obtain values derived from biometric samples of users, an individual biometric sample of an individual user comprising measurements of one or more biological features that are specific to the individual user, an individual value being derived by compiling the measurements of the one or more biological features specific to the individual user, a first value being derived from a first biometric sample of a first user and a second value being derived from a second biometric sample of a second user, the first value being different from the second value due to physical differences between the one or more biological features measured in the first biometric sample of the first user and the one or more biological features measured in the second biometric sample of the second user; generate pseudorandom numbers based on the values derived from the biometric samples, a first pseudorandom number being generated by using the first value derived from the first biometric sample of the first user as a seed for the generation of the first pseudorandom number, a second pseudorandom number being generated using the second value derived from the second biometric sample of the second user as a seed for the generation of the second pseudorandom number; determine one or more personalizations based on the pseudorandom numbers, the personalizations affecting characteristics of one or more aspects of the virtual space, a first personalization affecting a first characteristic of a first aspect being determined based on the first pseudorandom number and a corresponding second personalization affecting a corresponding second characteristic of a corresponding second aspect being determined based on the second pseudorandom number; and effectuate presentation of the one or more personalizations, the first personalization being different than the second personalization.
12. A method for providing personalization of a virtual space based on an individualized seed value, the method being implemented by a computer system including one or more physical processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising: obtaining, by the computer system, values derived from biometric samples of users, an individual biometric sample of an individual user comprising measurements of one or more biological features that are specific to the individual user, an individual value being derived by compiling the measurements of the one or more biological features, a first value being derived from a first biometric sample of a first user and a second value being derived from a second biometric sample of a second user, the first value being different from the second value due to physical differences between the one or more biological features measured in the first biometric sample of the first user and the one or more biological features measured in the second biometric sample of the second user; generating, by the computer system, pseudorandom numbers based on the values derived from the biometric samples, a first pseudorandom number being generated by using the first value derived from the first biometric sample of the first user as a seed for the generation of the first pseudorandom number, a second pseudorandom number being generated using the second value derived from the second biometric sample of the second user as a seed for the generation of the second pseudorandom number; determining, by the computer system, one or more personalizations based on the pseudorandom numbers, the personalizations affecting characteristics of one or more aspects of the virtual space, a first personalization affecting a first characteristic of a first aspect being determined based on the first pseudorandom number and a corresponding second personalization affecting a corresponding second characteristic of a corresponding second aspect being determined based on the second pseudorandom number; and effectuating, by the computer system, presentation of the one or more personalizations, the first personalization being different than the second personalization.
