PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interactive apparatus and an interactive method allowing switching to the state of interaction with a user at proper timing.SOLUTION: An interactive apparatus 100 comprises detection means (detection unit 131) for detecting distance between a user and the interactive apparatus 100 and the presence of a user in a camera image, user intention determination means (user intention determination unit 132) for, on the basis of the detection result of the detection means, determining whether or not a user in a hands-free state has intention of speaking to the interactive apparatus 100, and interactive state control means (state control unit 137) for, on the basis of the determination result of the determination means, controlling the state of the interactive apparatus 100 so as to be switched to one of the state of interaction and the state of non-interaction.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
