Abstract: A multi modal interactive device which can supply a conversation between the device and user with proper length of a pause which is determined according to types of the user.

Abstract: It is intended to generate a virtual pseudo-human figure model which can perform more natural-looking motions.In a system which stores actions of the virtual pseudo-human figure model and causes the virtual pseudo-human figure model to perform desired motions by applying these motion patterns to the model, intermediate motion patterns to smoothly link one motion pattern to the next are stored, and these intermediate motions are filled in between basic motion patterns or, when no motion takes place for a certain period of time, the blank of motion is complemented with an idling motion pattern. Or the motion patterns are stored as classified by model attributes of the virtual pseudo-human figure model, and motion patterns corresponding to the model attributes are applied. Furthermore, when motion patterns are applied to the virtual pseudo-human figure model, certain correction is made.
