5. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the storage is further configured to store information on a specific user who transmits a specific message, in association with the specific message, and

wherein the processor is configured to specify one message, from among a subset of the plurality of consecutive unread messages that are transmitted consecutively from a same user, as the trigger message.

6. A control method for an information processing device, the control method comprising:

receiving messages addressed to a plurality of users constituting a group, from terminals of the plurality of users constituting the group;

storing reception times of the messages which are received in the receiving, in association with the messages;

transmitting the messages to a terminal of at least one user from among the plurality of users included in the group;

calculating reception time differences between respective pairs of consecutive messages included in groups of the messages, each of the groups of the messages including a first message and a second message, the first message and the second message being consecutive messages, a reception time difference being a time difference between reception of the first message and reception of the second message;

specifying, by a processor, at least one unread message, from among a plurality of consecutive unread messages, that satisfies a condition as a trigger message based on the reception time differences, the plurality of consecutive unread messages included in the messages and being ones for which read information is not received from the terminal of the user included in the group, the read information indicating that a message has been viewed;

generating, by the processor, display information including the trigger message on a display of the terminal of the user; and

transmitting the display information that is generated in the generating to the terminal of the user included in the group.

7. The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the specifying includes,

calculating a first average value and a second average value, the first average value being an average value of first reception time differences between respective pairs of consecutive messages in a first group of the messages received before an unread message, and the second average value being an average value of second reception time differences between respective pairs of consecutive messages in a second group of the messages received after the unread message, for each of the plurality of c unread messages, and

specifying at least one unread message for which the first average value is greater than the second average value, and a difference between the first average value and the second average value is the largest value as the trigger message.

8. The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the specifying includes,

calculating a first average value and a second average value, the first average value being an average value of first reception time differences between respective pairs of consecutive messages in a first group of the messages received before an unread message and second average value being an average value of second reception time differences between respective pairs of consecutive messages in a second group of the messages received after the unread message are calculated for each of the plurality of consecutive unread messages, and

specifying at least one unread message, for which a ratio of the second average value relative to the first average value is the smallest value, as the trigger message.

9. The control method according to claim 6 , wherein the specifying includes,

calculating a ratio of a number of messages that are received within a time after receiving an unread message relative to a number of messages that are received within time before receiving the unread message for each of the plurality of consecutive unread messages, and

specifying at least one unread message for which the ratio is the smallest value as the trigger message.

10. The control method according to claim 6 ,

wherein the storing further includes storing information on a specific user who transmits a specific message, in association with the specific message, and

wherein the specifying further includes specifying one message, from among a subset of the plurality of consecutively unread messages that are transmitted consecutive from a same user, as the trigger message.

11. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium storing a computer program for execution by a processor that when executed by the processor to causes the processor to perform:

receiving messages addressed to a plurality of users constituting a group from terminals of the plurality of users constituting the group;
