Information processing device, information processing method, and computer program
An information processing device 200 generates a home screen for allowing a user to select an application to be executed. The information processing device 200 causes a display device to display the generated home screen. The information processing device 200 displays an array of a plurality of icons on the home screen. The plurality of icons represent a plurality of pieces of content related to one application and display different pieces of content.
1. An information processing device, comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
generate a home screen for an application that was last-executed at a time when the home screen is displayed;
select, from among a plurality of events held in relation to the last-executed application, an event suitable for the user based on a history of the user's play of the last-executed application;
generate a plurality of icons for display on the home screen, wherein the plurality of icons and a background of the home screen have an appearance associated with the last-executed application, wherein the plurality of icons represent a plurality of different pieces of content related to the last-executed application including missions, events, and messages; and
display the generated home screen.
2. The information processing device according to claim 1 ,
wherein the plurality of icons include an icon representing content related to a user's current progress within the one application.
3. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to
display a menu icon in association with the one application on the home screen,
wherein the menu item is different from the plurality of icons and representative of a common menu executable with respect to a plurality of applications.
4. The information processing device according to claim 3 ,
wherein the menu icon has an appearance independent of a specific application.
5. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to
acquire information regarding a friend playing each of a plurality of pieces of content related to the one application;
display information regarding the friend on the home screen; and
in a case where a focus on the home screen is switched from a first icon related to the last-executed application to a second icon related to the last-executed application, change a display target on the home screen from information regarding a friend playing content represented by the first icon to information regarding a friend playing content represented by the second icon.
6. The information processing device according to claim 1 , wherein the processing circuitry is further configured to
acquire information regarding a friend;
display at least one icon representing at least one friend on the home screen; and
in a case where new information regarding a certain friend is acquired, operate an icon representing the certain friend on the home screen and additionally operate a background of the home screen.
7. An information processing method comprising:
by an information processing device having a processor,
generating a home screen for an application that was last-executed at a time when the home screen is displayed;
selecting, from among a plurality of events held in relation to the last-executed application, an event suitable for the user based on a history of the user's play of the last-executed application;
generating a plurality of icons for display on the home screen, wherein the plurality of icons and a background of the home screen have an appearance associated with the last-executed application, wherein the plurality of icons represent a plurality of different pieces of content related to the last-executed application including missions, events, and messages; and
displaying the generated home screen.
8. A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program for an information processing device, comprising:
generating a home screen for an application that was last-executed at a time when the home screen is displayed;
selecting, from among a plurality of events held in relation to the last-executed application, an event suitable for the user based on a history of the user's play of the last-executed application;
generating a plurality of icons for display on the home screen, wherein the plurality of icons and a background of the home screen have an appearance associated with the last-executed application, wherein the plurality of icons represent a plurality of different pieces of content related to the last-executed application including missions, events, and messages; and
displaying the generated home screen.
