1. An information processing device comprising:
one or more processors having one or more memories in which executable instructions are stored and, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement:
a receiving section adapted to receive a request to execute an application;
an obtaining section adapted to obtain information on a wait for executing the application from a server system when there is no assignable processing unit in the server system on which to execute the application, where the server system includes a store server providing an entrance for a user to play a cloud game via the application, and the server system includes a cloud server executing the cloud game on behalf of the user in response to the request to execute the application;
a notifying section displaying an inquiry screen inquiring whether to start the executing of the application by the cloud server, while in a state of waiting for a start of the executing of the application and when the obtaining section obtains information indicating that the executing of the application can be started from the server system; and
a monitoring section adapted to monitor user input from an input device while the inquiry screen is displayed,
wherein the user is moved back to a predetermined position in a waiting order and the waiting state is maintained when the monitoring section determines that over a predetermined period of time there has been no user input from the input device in response to the inquiry screen.
