PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle capable of making communications with a driver by making an anthropomorphic agent perform acts (action and voice) according to states. SOLUTION: A plurality of continuously operational images in which the agent appears and smiles are displayed (or moving pictures are displayed) on a display apparatus 27. A voice such as "it is getting cooler and cooler outside", or "Will you try to take in fresh air ?" is outputted from a voice outputting apparatus 25. The answer of the driver corresponding to the communication with the agent is obtained (step 17). A program number 00123 is a program to be controlled (step 18; Y). Therefore, if the answer is acceptable, a power source of an air conditioner is turned off as the control in response to the answer. At the same time, windows of a driver seat side and a passenger seat side are controlled so as to be opened only by 1/2 (step 19). COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
