发明名称 LINKING TOKEN DETECTION AT A SINGLE COMPUTING PLATFORM WITH A USER IDENTIFICATION TO UNLOCK CONTENT IN VIRTUAL SPACE INSTANCES PRESENTED VIA MULTIPLE COMPUTING PLATFORMS
摘要 Token detection at a single computing platform may be linked with a user identification to unlock content and/or effectuate modifications in virtual space instances presented via multiple computing platforms, in accordance with one or more implementations. Exemplary implementations may enhance consistency in a user's experiences of a virtual space across multiple computing platforms.

主权项 1. A system configured to link token detection at a single computing platform with a user identification to unlock content in virtual space instances presented via multiple computing platforms, the system comprising: one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the computer program modules comprising: a user module configured to manage user identifications associated with users of the system, the user identifications including a first user identification associated with a first user;a space module configured to implement instances of a virtual space to determine views of the virtual space, the instances of the virtual space including a first instance and a second instance, both the first instance and the second instance being associated with the first user identification, the first instance being accessible by the first user via a first computing platform responsive to the first user identification being provided by the first user via the first computing platform, the second instance being accessible by the first user via a second computing platform responsive to the first user identification being provided by the first user via the second computing platform;a token detection module configured to detect tokens based on signals received from a token reader, the token reader being communicatively coupled with the first computing platform, a given token being a standalone physical object, the tokens including a first token and a second token, the first token being detectable based on a first signal conveying information associated with the first token, the second token being detectable based on a second signal conveying information associated with the second token;a user ID linking module configured to associate individual tokens with individual user identifications, the first token and the second token being associated with the first user identification responsive to the first token and the second token being detected by the token detection module via the first signal and the second signal received from the token reader communicatively coupled with the first computing platform; anda content unlocking module configured to unlock content in multiple instances of the virtual space presented via multiple computing platforms associated with a single user responsive to individual tokens being detected, previously locked content becoming accessible in the virtual space responsive to being unlocked, the content including first content configured to be unlocked responsive to the association between the first token and the first user identification, the content further including second content configured to be unlocked responsive to the association between the second token and the first user identification, the unlocked first content and the unlocked second content being accessible in instances of the virtual space associated with the first user identification including both the first instance via the first computing platform and the second instance via the second computing platform, the first content including one or both of (1) a first character or (2) a first virtual item, the second content including one or both of (1) a second character or (2) a second virtual item;wherein the first content remains unlocked after the first token is detected via the first signal received from the token reader communicatively coupled with the first computing platform such that future detection of the first token is unnecessary to access the first content in both the first instance via the first computing platform and the second instance via the second computing platform; andwherein the second content remains unlocked after the second token is detected via the second signal received from the token reader communicatively coupled with the first computing platform such that future detection of the second token is unnecessary to access the second content in both the first instance via the first computing platform and the second instance via the second computing platform.
