Abstract
There is provided a control apparatus through which it is possible to present a response to a question about content that is uttered by the user while viewing the content to the user who asked the question in an appropriate form, the control apparatus including a control unit configured to perform control such that details of a response generated for a query about content that is output to at least one user from the user and a target to which the response is output are decided.
Claims23
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- circuitry configured to:
- initiate output of content on a screen;
- receive, during the outputting of the content, an input of a user of a question including an ambiguous expression;
- maintain a screenshot of the content from a time at which the question is input;
- transmit input information about the question;
- receive response information after semantic details of the question including the ambiguous expression are estimated based on situation information at an input time of the question and the response information is generated;
- and
- initiate, in a bookmark mode, output of the response information on the screen when a predetermined condition is satisfied, the predetermined condition including a condition that the user is recognized and a condition that a predetermined time arrives.
