Abstract: A notification control device includes: a sound notification controller sending a first notification control signal for causing a first device to provide a first notification, obtaining first response information to the first notification, and determining whether the first response information is in response to notification information; an image notification controller sending a second notification control signal for causing a second device to provide a second notification, obtaining second response information to the second notification, and determining whether the second response information is in response to the notification information; and a canceller sending a cancellation process signal for cancelling (a) the second notification when the sound notification controller determines that the first response information is in response to the notification information and (b) the first notification when the image notification controller determines that the second response information is in response to the notification information.

Abstract: An utterance test method for an utterance device, an utterance test server, an utterance test system, and a program perform an utterance test on a test device (20). The utterance test system includes at least one utterance device (20) capable of uttering, a terminal device (30), and an utterance test server (10). The utterance test server (10) receives an utterance test start command from the terminal device (30), sets at least one utterance device (20) to be a test device (20) as a target of an utterance test, sets test content of the utterance test, and causes the test device (20) to utter the test content.
