PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To efficiently and quickly provide necessary information to a user. SOLUTION: An arbitration method includes a determination step, in which before an output of first information regarding first action registered in an action queue is completed, it is determined whether a second action registered next in the action queue satisfies prescribed conditions, including the condition that a specific output function used for outputting the second information regarding the second action is in an open state or is a function without interruption control; and a step, in which when it is determined that the second action satisfies the prescribed conditions, a specific output function is requested to output the second information, regarding the second action irrespective of whether the output of the first information is completed. For example, if the output of audio that requires a long output time and the output of an image with a different output function are performed in parallel, necessary information can be provided efficiently and quickly to the user.
