<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an information processor that generates an utterance in response to changes in persons or in situation. <P>SOLUTION: An action determination part 15 determines an action by applying a speech signal, information regarding an object included in an image, and weight coefficients supplied from a weight coefficient generation part 12 to a decision function. A generated utterance determination part 18 determines an utterance by applying the speech signal and information regarding the object included in the image to the decision function and a total conviction degree function to generate an utterance signal corresponding to the determined utterance and outputs the signal to an utterance output part 19. The utterance output part 19 outputs a corresponding speech or displays a corresponding character string so that a person who converses can recognize the utterance signal supplied from the generated utterance determination part 18. This invention is applicable to a speech and action deciding device incorporated in a robot in order to generate an utterance instructing the person who converses to do an intended operation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
