<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device which generates an answer (response) to a user for positively controlling the flow of an interaction from the side of an artificial agent by autonomously and positively responding to the user so as to smoothly progress the interaction while more smoothly applying the response to the user corresponding to reality. SOLUTION: At an input means 11, a constant is multiplied by the logarithm of the input voice power of the user and the result is outputted along the state of the user mind. That is, when a feeling of wanting to make affirmative responses prepared by the artificial agent matches this state of the user, at a response generating means 12 for receiving the user voice output, it is judged the emotional excitation of both matches. Then, the feeling of wanting to make affirmative responses is improved by stopping responses in order to listen to a story well, and when the will is improved or the speaking of the user is weakened, affimative responses are made by an output means 13. Moreover, a function for preparing the state of decreasing the feeling of wanting to make affirmative responses is provided. Through such operation, the artificial agent can autonomously make affirmative responses while considering the speaking condition of the user as well.</p> |
