  • Patent number: 10250604
    Abstract: An example information-processing device, when accepting a login from a user (SA1), executes a first processing (SA2). The first processing is, for example, execution of a game. The example information-processing device, when receiving, for example, a signal for having a chat (SA3), determines whether a destination user of the signal is a logged-in user (SA4). The example information-processing device, when the destination user is not a logged-in user, notifies the logged-in user of the receipt of the signal by displaying an icon (SA6). When doing so, the example information-processing device displays information on the destination user, without displaying a source user of the signal.
