1. A terminal device comprising:

  • a memory configured to store a first application and a second application, the first application and the second application being applications that have data related with the first application and the second application respectively preserved while in a standby mode; and

    circuitry, comprising a processor, configured toimplement a first timer associated with the first application;

    implement a second timer different from the first timer;

    determine whether the first timer wakes up the processor;

    in a case where the circuitry determines the first timer wakes up the processor, wake up the processor from the standby mode when the first timer measures a first predetermined amount of elapsed time and, after the processor is woken up, execute the first application and the second application on the processor, wherein the second application does not have a function to wake up the processor from the standby mode in the case where the circuitry determines the first timer wakes up the processor; and

    in a case where the circuitry determines the first timer does not wake up the processor, wake up the processor from the standby mode when the second timer measures a second predetermined amount of elapsed time and, after the processor is woken up, execute the first application and the second application on the processor, wherein neither the first application nor the second application has a function to wake up the processor from the standby mode in the case where the circuitry determines the first timer does not wake up the processor.
