Abstract
To provide an information processing system, a client terminal, an information processing method, and a recording medium capable of selecting an appropriate agent from among multiple agents according to a user emotion, and providing more comfortable dialogue. An information processing system including: a storage section that holds a plurality of agent programs with different attributes; a communication section that provides an agent service by the agent programs to a client terminal of a user; and a control section that selects, from among the plurality of agent programs, one agent program suited to an emotion of a user who can use the agent service.
Claims26
An information processing system, comprising:
- a storage section configured to:
- store a plurality of agents associated with a plurality of attributes;
- and
- store phoneme data corresponding to each of the plurality of agents;
- a communication section configured to receive user-related information from a client terminal of a user;
- and
- a control section configured to:
- determine an emotion of the user based on the received user-related information;
- select, from the plurality of agents, a first agent based on the determined emotion of the user;
- execute, based on the stored phoneme data corresponding to the selected first agent, a first dialogue process between the selected first agent and the user;
- and
- provide an agent service to the client terminal of the user based on the execution of the first dialogue process.
A client terminal, comprising:
- a communication section;
- and
- a control section configured to:
- control the communication section to transmit user-related information to a server,
- wherein the server:
- stores a plurality of agents associated with a plurality of attributes,
- stores phoneme data corresponding to each of the plurality of agents,
- determines an emotion of a user of the client terminal based on the user-related information,
- selects a first agent from the plurality of agents based on the determined emotion of the user, and
- executes, based on the stored phoneme data corresponding to the selected first agent, a first dialogue process between the selected first agent and the user;
- and
- control the communication section to receive, from the server, a first dialogue corresponding to an agent service, wherein
- the first dialogue is received based on the execution of the first dialogue process, and
- the agent service is associated with the selected first agent.
An information processing system, comprising:
- a storage section configured to:
- store a plurality of agents associated with a plurality of attributes;
- and
- store phoneme data corresponding to each of the plurality of agents;
- a control section configured to:
- receive user-related information from a client terminal of a user;
- determine an emotion of the user based on the received user-related information;
- select an agent from the plurality of agents based on the determined emotion of the user;
- and
- execute, based on the stored phoneme data corresponding to the selected agent, a dialogue process between the selected agent and the user;
- and
- an interface section configured to provide a specific agent service to the client terminal of the user based on the execution of the dialogue process.
An information processing method, comprising:
- in an information processing system:
- storing, by a storage section of the information processing system, a plurality of agents associated with a plurality of attributes;
- storing, by the storage section, phoneme data corresponding to each of the plurality of agents;
- receiving, by a communication section of the information processing system, user-related information from a client terminal of a user;
- determining, by a control section of the information processing system, an emotion of the user based on the received user-related information;
- selecting, by the control section, an agent from the plurality of agents based on the determined emotion of the user;
- executing, by the control section, a dialogue process between the selected agent and the user, based on the stored phoneme data corresponding to the selected agent;
- and
- providing, by the control section, a specific agent service to the client terminal of the user based on the execution of the dialogue process.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a client terminal, cause the client terminal to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- controlling, by a control section of the client terminal, a communication section of the client terminal to transmit user-related information to a server,
- wherein the server:
- stores a plurality of agents associated with a plurality of attributes,
- stores phoneme data corresponding to each of the plurality of agents,
- determines an emotion of a user of the client terminal based on the user-related information,
- select an agent from the plurality of agents based on the determined emotion of the user, and
- execute, based on the stored phoneme data corresponding to the selected agent, a dialogue process between the selected agent and the user;
- and
- controlling, by the control section, the communication section to receive a dialogue from the server, wherein
- the dialogue is received based on the execution of the dialogue process, and
- the dialogue corresponds to a specific agent service associated with the selected agent.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed by an information processing system, cause the information processing system to execute operations, the operations comprising:
- storing, by a storage section of the information processing system, a plurality of agents associated with a plurality of attributes;
- storing, by the storage section, phoneme data corresponding to each of the plurality of agents;
- receiving, by a control section of the information processing system, user-related information from a client terminal of a user;
- determining, by the control section, an emotion of the user based on the received user-related information;
- selecting, by the control section, an agent from the plurality of agents based on the determined emotion of the user;
- executing, by the control section, a dialogue process between the selected agent and the user, based on the stored phoneme data corresponding to the selected agent;
- and
- providing, by an interface section of the information processing system, a specific agent service to the client terminal of the user based on the execution of the dialogue process.
