    Abstract: A content output control device includes: a memory that stores a rule definition including: an arbitration policy when contents are assigned to areas or zones; and a constraint expression; an arbitration unit that arbitrates the contents according to the rule definition to satisfy a rule-based arbitration upon receiving an output request from an application; and an output control unit that controls an output of the contents assigned to the areas or the zones. When one area or zone is re-arbitrated, the arbitration unit re-arbitrates a different one area specified as an influence area that influences the one area due to an re-arbitration thereof, or a different one zone specified as an influence zone that influences the one zone due to an re-arbitration thereof.

    Abstract: An application issues a display request to display a content in an area set on a display device. In response to determining that a different content is displayed in the area, an arbitration is executed to allocate the content to the area to satisfy a rule-based arbitration using a rule definition including (i) an arbitration policy defining a basic arbitration when allocating the content to the area on the display device and (ii) a constraint expression describing a property to be exceptionally satisfied.

    Abstract: A content output controller includes a storage, an arbitration unit, and an output controller. The storage stores a rule definition. The arbitration unit arbitrates multiple contents according to the rule definition to satisfy a rule-based arbitration upon receiving an output request from an application. The output controller controls an output of the multiple contents allocated to multiple areas or multiple zones due to an arbitration of the plurality of contents. The arbitration unit selects an area as an arbitration target area from the multiple areas defined in a model or a zone as an arbitration target zone from the multiple zones defined in the model in response to receiving the output request from the application; arbitrates the arbitration target area or the arbitration target zone; and does not arbitrate remainder of the multiple areas or remainder of the multiple zones.

    Abstract: An audio content output control device includes a memory, an arbitration unit, and an audio output control unit. The memory stores a rule definition including: an arbitration policy for defining basic arbitration when one of audio contents is assigned to a zone; and a constraint expression. The arbitration unit performs arbitration of the audio contents according to the rule definition to satisfy rule-based arbitration upon receiving output requests of the audio contents. The audio output control unit controls output of the one of the audio contents assigned to the zone when the arbitration of the audio contents is performed by the arbitration unit. The memory stores the rule definition in consideration of requirements specific to the audio contents, respectively. The arbitration unit performs the arbitration of the audio contents in accordance with the rule definition in consideration of the requirements specific to the audio contents.
