1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising a content playback program, the content playback program being configured to be executed by a computer, and comprising:
a character data master that describes correspondence relationships between character IDs that uniquely identify a plurality of characters and file names of icon image files that show icon images linked with the characters of the character IDs,
a character flag table that describes correspondence relationships among the character IDs, already-obtained flags indicating whether the characters of the character IDs have already been obtained by a user, icon-setting flags indicating whether the characters of the character IDs can be set as an icon of an application program, and icon-specification flags indicating whether the characters of the character IDs have been specified as an icon of an application program, and
an application icon table that describes a correspondence relationship between information uniquely pointing to an application program and an icon file name indicating a file name of an icon image pointing to the application program,
wherein the content playback program is configured to perform a method comprising:
referring to the character flag table and displaying, on the display unit, the icon image files that are linked with the character IDs for which the values of the icon-setting flags are set to logical true;
setting, in response to the fact that the user has selected, via the operation unit, one of the plurality of icon images displayed on the display unit, the value of the icon-specification flag, in the character flag table, linked with the character ID selected by the user, to logical true;
registering the icon image file, in the character data master, linked with the character ID selected by the user, to the icon file name obtained from the application icon table, in response to calling of the icon selection processing function; and
displaying the icon image of the icon image file on the display unit as an icon for launching the application program, in accordance with the application icon table,
wherein the already-obtained flags can each be set to logical true by executing a character acquisition event for setting the already-obtained flag to logical true, and
wherein the icon-setting flags can each be set to logical true by executing a predetermined event for setting the icon-setting flag to logical true.
