Interrupt control apparatus and interrupt control method

摘要

An interrupt control apparatus and interrupt control method reduce situations in which the output of interrupt information is suspended and thus reduce stress caused in a user, without missing the appropriate output timing for interrupt information having a high priority level. A priority level setting unit raises the value of a priority level for an interrupt voice message during a period in which the interrupt voice message is being outputted, and a voice output control unit, when interrupts from two or more overlapping interrupt voice messages occurs, carries out control in accordance with priority levels set for each of the two or more interrupt voice messages so that the interrupt voice message having the higher priority level value is preferentially outputted.

1. An interrupt control apparatus comprising:
a priority level setting unit that sets a priority level for each of multiple pieces of interrupt information; and a information output control unit that, when interrupts from two or more overlapping pieces of interrupt information have occurred, carries out control in accordance with the priority levels set by the priority level setting unit for the two or more pieces of interrupt information so that the interrupt information having the higher priority level value is outputted preferentially, wherein the priority level setting unit sets the priority level of at least one of the multiple pieces of interrupt information to be variable so that the value of the priority level linearly increases during a period from when the output of the interrupt information starts to when the output of the interrupt information ends.
