  • Publication number: 20210316219
    Abstract: With existing game apps, in the case where the stamina is recovered through time-based recovery to an upper limit value thereof while a user is not playing the game, a message or the like indicating full stamina recovery is displayed on a notification screen of a smartphone. According to the present invention, a terminal device, such as a smartphone, is configured so that a user can receive, from a game app, a push notification indicating full stamina recovery through time-based recovery and can perform an operation for instructing time-based stamina recovery beyond a stamina upper limit value on a screen of the push notification. This makes it possible to execute a game play more advantageously just by performing the operation on the screen of the push notification even when the user cannot afford to spend time for starting the game app and playing the game.
