Abstract

One or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media stores instructions, which when executed by an information processing device that communicates with a communication terminal, causes the information processing device to: retrieve, for each of one or more pieces of second information, respective function related information pertaining to a game executed by the communication terminal, determine, for each of the one or more pieces of second information, whether the retrieved respective function related information satisfies a respective predetermined condition; for each respective function related information that satisfies the respective predetermined condition, generate an image corresponding to a respective one of the one or more pieces of second information; generate layout information for overlaying each generated image on first information displayed on a display of the communication terminal, the one or more pieces of second information generated by a second application program and the first information generated by a first application program.

3. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein

the one or more pieces of second information cause the information processing device to execute a predetermined function based on an input selecting one of the one or more pieces of second information.

4. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein one of the one or more second pieces of information is related to a shop, the retrieved respective function related information is discount information, and the respective predetermined condition is satisfied when the discount information indicates that at least one item available for purchase in the shop is discounted.

5. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein one of the one or more second pieces of information is related to a strengthen function, the retrieved respective function related information is success rate information for strengthening one or more game assets owned by a user playing the game, and the respective predetermined condition is satisfied when the success rate is greater than a predetermined threshold.

6. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein one of the one or more second pieces of information is related to a trade function, the retrieved respective function related information is a number of game assets owned by a user playing the game, and the respective predetermined condition is satisfied when the number of game assets owned by the user is greater than a predetermined threshold.

7. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein one of the one or more second pieces of information is related to a team function, the retrieved respective function related information is a battle status of a player of the game, and the respective predetermined condition is satisfied when the battle status of the player indicates that the player is currently engaged in battle with an enemy character.

8. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the second application program is a web application program and the first application program is a native application program executed by the communication terminal.

9. The one or more non-transitory computer-readable recording media of claim 1 , wherein the layout information further includes at least one of a size and a color for each generated image.

10. An information processing device configured to communicate with a communication terminal, the information processing device comprising:

processing circuitry configured to:

retrieve, for each of one or more pieces of second information, respective function related information pertaining to a game executed by the communication terminal,

determine, for each of the one or more pieces of second information, whether the retrieved respective function related information satisfies a respective predetermined condition,

for each respective function related information that satisfies the respective predetermined condition, generate an image corresponding to a respective one of the one or more pieces of second information,

generate layout information for overlaying each generated image on first information displayed on a display of the communication terminal, the layout information including coordinates for each generated image, the one or more pieces of second information generated by a second application program and the first information generated by a first application program, and

transmit the generated layout information to the communication terminal.

11. The information processing device according to claim 10 , wherein

the first information includes third information for displaying on the display of the communication terminal, in response to an input received at the communication terminal, a selection screen configured to receive an input selecting a generated image corresponding to any piece of second information among the one or more pieces of second information, and

the second information is selected by the user input, among the one or more pieces of second information, of the one or more pieces of second information rendered on the display or of any piece of second information on the selection screen displayed by selection of the third information.

12. The information processing device of claim 10 , wherein
