and an output unit that outputs display-related information for displaying a content related to the voice control information. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A voice control information output system, comprising: a voice control information obtainment unit that obtains voice control information for controlling a device based on a voice received by a voice obtainment unit, from a voice control system that outputs the voice control information; an output unit that outputs, to a monitor, display-related information for displaying a content related to the voice control information, and outputs, to the device, control information for controlling the device; and a person information obtainment unit that obtains person information indicating a state of a person in a predetermined area, wherein the output unit outputs the display-related information based on the state of the person indicated by the person information obtained by the person information obtainment unit, the person information is information indicating whether or not a person is present, the output unit outputs the display-related information when the person information indicates that a person is present in the predetermined area, and does not output the display-related information when the person information indicates that no person is present in the predetermined area, and the monitor is separate from the device. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The voice control information output system according to claim 1, wherein the display-related information includes information about a state of the device controlled based on the voice control information. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The voice control information output system according to claim 1, wherein the display-related information includes information for controlling the device based on the voice control information. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The voice control information output system according to claim 3, wherein the information for controlling the device includes information for identifying details of the control of the device or information for identifying the device to be controlled. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The voice control information output system according to claim 1, wherein the voice control information includes answer information to the voice received by the voice obtainment unit, and the display-related information includes information related to the answer information. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The voice control information output system according to claim 5, wherein the information related to the answer information includes more detailed information than the answer information. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The voice control information output system according to claim 1, wherein when the device fails to be controlled based on the voice control information, the display-related information includes at least one of information about the failure to control the device and information for placing the device into a state of being controlled based on the voice control information. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The voice control information output system according to claim 1, wherein the display-related information includes warning information related to the control of the device. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The voice control information output system according to claim 1, wherein the voice obtainment unit is provided both inside and outside the predetermined area. ### Claim 10 A voice control information output method, comprising: obtaining voice control information for controlling a device based on a voice received by a voice obtainment unit, from a voice control system that outputs the voice control information; outputting, to a monitor, display-related information for displaying a content related to the voice control information, and outputting, to the device, control information for controlling the device; and obtaining person information indicating a state of a person in a predetermined area, wherein in the outputting, the display-related information is outputted based on the state of the person indicated by the person information obtained in the obtaining of person information, the person information is information indicating whether or not a person is present, in the outputting, the display-related information is outputted when the person information indicates that a person is present in the predetermined area, and the display-related information is not outputted when the person information indicates that no person is present in the predetermined area, and the monitor is separate from the device. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium for use in a computer, the recording medium having a computer program recorded thereon for causing the computer to execute the voice control information output method according to claim 10.
