  • Patent number: 11861417
    Abstract: A peripheral information acquisition unit (121) acquires information relating to a first application (13a) running in a terminal, information relating to control of the terminal, or information that can be acquired from a sensor included in the terminal, as peripheral information. The peripheral information acquired by the peripheral information acquisition unit (121) is accumulated in a peripheral information accumulation unit (122). A dialogue interface unit (11) accepts input of information from a user and outputs information to the user. When the peripheral information accumulated in the peripheral information accumulation unit (122) and information input to the dialogue interface unit (11) satisfy a predetermined condition, a scenario control unit (123) causes the dialogue interface unit (11) to output information relating to execution of a second application (14) that is associated with the condition in advance.

  • Publication number: 20230260508
    Abstract: A task determination unit determines a type of processing being operated, on the basis of an operation situation of an existing system. A conversion unit converts voice data input during a predetermined operation of an HID into text data, and determines whether the text data is used for a command determination or a setting parameter according to operation content of the HID. A command determination unit determines a command by using the text data and the type of processing being operated, when it is determined that the text data is used for the command determination. An operation unit executes an operation corresponding to the determined command with respect to the existing system by using the text data as a parameter, when it is determined that the text data is used for the setting parameter.
