Systems and methods for the use of virtual emblems

摘要

A virtual space is provided to users. In views of the virtual space, avatars represent users, including a first avatar representing a first user, engaging in the virtual space. Individual avatars are visually associated with an emblem in views of the virtual space. Systems and methods to enable the use of emblems present an emblem visually associated with a second avatar in a view of the first avatar to indicate a relationship between the first user and the second user.

1. A system configured to enable the use of emblems by users in a virtual space, the system comprising:
one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules comprising: a virtual space module configured to determine view information for transmissions to client computing platforms associated with users that facilitate presentation of views of a virtual space to the users on the client computing platforms, wherein the individual users are represented in the virtual space by avatars, wherein the users include a first user represented by a first avatar and a second user represented by a second avatar, wherein individual ones of the avatars are visually associated with emblems in views of the virtual space such that the emblems are entirely spatially distinct from the avatars; a relationship module configured to establish relationships between entities, wherein the entities comprise the users such that individual ones of the relationships involve at least one user of the virtual space; an emblem presentation module configured to present, for the first avatar, emblems including a first emblem and a second emblem, such that presentation of the first emblem corresponds to a first relationship between the first user and a first entity, wherein the first emblem is visually associated with the first avatar, and such that presentation of the second emblem corresponds to a second relationship between the first user and a second entity, wherein the second emblem is visually associated with the first avatar, wherein the presentation of the first emblem includes status information pertaining to the first entity, wherein the first entity is the second user; and an interface module configured to receive inputs from users that affect presentation of one or more emblems, such that one or more received inputs from the first user affect the presentation of one or both of the first emblem and the second emblem and such that one or more received inputs from the second user affect the presentation of the first emblem.
