  • Patent number: 11386894
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a controller. The controller performs a speech word analysis based on the voice of a user after performing a first voice output request. The controller estimates a comprehension level of the user, based on information linked to a word stored in the memory and a result of the speech word analysis, and then performs a second voice output request in accordance with the comprehension level of the user. When the mobile terminal configured to output the first voice and the second voice is mounted on a charging stand, the controller may perform the speech word analysis, estimate the comprehension level, and perform the second voice output request.
