PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a response generation apparatus, a response generation method, and a program, which calculate a degree of intimacy in consideration of an emotion estimated from utterance content of a user, thus generating a response in accordance with the degree of intimacy.SOLUTION: In a response generation apparatus 100, first, a voice recognition part 101 recognizes utterance content of a user. An emotion estimation part 102 estimates presence of an appearance of an emotion of the user from the utterance content. An intimacy-degree database 104 cumulatively records the number of times of utterance and that of appearances of emotions. An intimacy-degree calculation part 103 calculates a degree of intimacy with the user in accordance with a ratio between the number of utterance and that of appearances of emotions. A response generation part 105 generates a response sentence differently between the case of the degree of intimacy exceeds a given threshold and the case of the degree thereof being equal to or less than the threshold.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
