Abstract: An agent system capable of, in multi-party conversation, actively participating in the conversation is achieved. A response class is decided on the basis of information associated with whether or not a user is attempting to talk with a system and associated with whether or not a possibility that the system has a capability of correctly responding to an utterance of the user is high. In this case, when the user is not attempting to talk with the system and the possibility that the system has the capability of correctly responding to the utterance of the user is high, a response class for proposing an executable task is decided as the response class. A response is generated by a response generation unit on the basis of the decided response class.

Abstract: Communication is performed among a vehicle management device 50, a terminal device used by a user of a vehicle 20, and a terminal device 60 possessed by a use scheduled person who is scheduled to use the vehicle 20. On the basis of information obtained from the vehicle 20, for example, position information of the vehicle 20, the vehicle management device 50 estimates the estimated time of arrival at a delivery position at which the vehicle is delivered from the user to the use scheduled person. In a case where it is determined that the estimated time of arrival does not fall within a preset predetermined time range that is set with reference to delivery time of the vehicle and includes the delivery time, the vehicle management device 50 transmits a delivery situation to the use scheduled person. The use scheduled person is enabled to grasp a use situation of the vehicle used by the user, and consequently the vehicle can be smoothly delivered from the user to the use scheduled person.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program by which learning data can be transferred to another agent. In a case of transferring learning data to another user, the learning data is divided into learning data of a private type depending on an individual and learning data of a public type excluding it and only learning data of the public type is only transferred. In a case of transferring it to an agent of a new vehicle, it is classified into individual-dependent data, vehicle type-dependent data, and general-purpose data and only the general-purpose data is transferred. Only in a case where a vehicle type of the new vehicle is the same as the vehicle type which has been used at that time, the vehicle type-dependent data is also transferred. The present disclosure can be applied to intelligent agents.

Abstract: Provided is an information distribution apparatus which effectively distributes information such as advertisements. An advertisement distribution system predicts seat conditions such as a change in seat occupancy rate with time and distributes advertising information to prospective customers who can visit around the time when the seats are available. By offering more advantageous discount rates, coupons and the like to prospective customers with a short traveling time to a store in a case where seats are already available, it is possible to quickly occupy the seats and recover the seat occupancy rate in a short period of time. On the other hand, a disadvantageous offer is made to prospective customers who arrive after the time when empty seats are predicted since they do not contribute much to the recovery of the seat occupancy rate.
