Abstract

An event notification device includes a wireless communication unit, an event occurrence information acquiring unit, an enabled-notice information acquiring unit, a notice setting unit, and an event occurrence notification unit. The wireless communication unit transmits and receives information on an online service from multiple external devices. The event occurrence information acquiring unit acquires an event occurrence notice via the wireless communication unit from the external devices. The enabled-notice information acquiring unit acquires enabled-notice information on the event occurrence notice via the wireless communication unit. The notice setting unit requests one external device to transmit the event occurrence notice and requests the other external devices not to transmit the event occurrence notice if the multiple external devices can individually transmit the same event occurrence notice. The event occurrence notification unit notifies a user of the event occurrence on the basis of the event occurrence notice.
