摘要

A method and apparatus for providing feedback to the user of a voice dialog system. The apparatus includes a voice dialog processing module (100) for receiving speech input from a user and conducting a dialog with the user. The voice dialog processing (100) module determines dialog status data (106) and passes it to a status processing module (108) which determines a facial or body expression corresponding to the dialog status data. An avatar display device (112) displays to the user an avatar (114) that depicts the facial or body expression.
