Abstract: A notification method obtains event information about an even that has occurred from information source device or information source service that is a source of information to be notified by notification device. The notification method generates a first notification trigger when the event information is obtained. The notification method generates a second notification trigger when, after the first notification trigger is generated, a predetermined condition is satisfied and the event information is not updated. The notification method causes notification device to output notification information indicating details of the event in at least one of a case where the first notification trigger is generated or a case where the second notification trigger is generated.
