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.
Claims18
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 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 the 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 end computing platforms that are of different platform types than the source computing platforms, the estimated cost information providing a description of a level of quality of the user-generated content when executed on the end computing platforms, the estimated cost information being determined prior to the conversions of the information defining the user-generated content;
- receive requests to share the user-generated content;
- determine notifications to be sent to the computing platforms of the users in response to receiving the requests to share the user-generated content, the notifications including information relating to the estimated cost information, such that after 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, a first notification is determined to be sent to the first source computing platform and/or a second notification is determined to be sent to the first end computing platform.

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 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 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 the 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 the information defining the user-generated content on the end computing platforms that are of different platform types than the source computing platforms, the estimated cost information providing a description of a level of quality of the user-generated content when executed on the end computing platforms, the estimated cost information being determined prior to the conversions of the information defining the user-generated content;
- receiving requests to share the user-generated content;
- determining notifications to be sent to the computing platforms of the users in response to receiving the requests to share the user-generated content, the notifications including information relating to the estimated cost information, including after 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, determining a first notification to be sent to the first source computing platform and/or determining a second notification to be sent to the first end computing platform.
