Communication system and method for representing information in a communication

摘要

The invention relates to a communication system having a display unit (2) and a virtual being (3) that can be visually represented on the display unit (2) and that is designed for communication by means of natural speech with a natural person, wherein at least one interaction symbol (6, 7) that can be represented on the display unit (2) and by means of which the natural speech dialog between the virtual being (3) and the natural person is supported such that an achieved dialog state can be indicated and/or additional information depending on the dialog state achieved and/or information can be redundantly invoked. The invention further relates to a method for representing information of a communication between a virtual being and a natural person.

1. A communication system comprising:
a display unit and a virtual being that can be visually represented on the display unit and that is designed for communication by means of natural speech dialog with a natural person wherein the display unit conducts the natural speech dialog between the virtual being and the natural person using a transmitting unit to transmit acoustical signals and a receiving unit to receive acoustical signals, the acoustical signals including speech signals, at least one interaction symbol, which can be visually represented on the display unit and which assists the natural speech dialog between the virtual being and the natural person in such a way that an achieved dialog state can be displayed; and/or additional information and/or information can be retrieved in a redundant manner as a function of the achieved dialog state, wherein at least one interaction symbol displayed on the display unit dynamically changes according to a temporal progression and content of a dialog between the virtual being and the natural person.
