1. A notification control device comprising:
a non-transitory computer storage medium storing computer-readable instructions; and
one or more processors connected to the non-transitory computer storage medium,
wherein the one or more processors execute the computer-readable instructions to perform operations, comprising:
detecting a sightline of a driver of a mobile object;
causing an information output device representative of at least one of a human machine interface device or a steering wheel device, which is configured to output a warning to a driver, to output a first warning when a first condition is satisfied; and
causing the information output device to output a second warning when a second condition is satisfied,
wherein the first condition is a condition that the driver's sightline sight line is out of a predetermined range in which the driver is considered to see a view in front of the mobile object and a state in which the sightline is out of the range is maintained for a first time, and
wherein the second condition is a condition that the driver's sightline is out of the range, a risky object to be noticed is present in a reference area set with respect to the mobile object, and the state in which the sightline is out of the range is maintained for a second time shorter than the first time.
