Information output device, information output method, and information output program

#The present invention relates to an information output device, an information output method, and an information output program.

#Conventionally, for information search on a database in an organization, for example, a technique of creating a dedicated program or obtaining information from the database using a search tool and outputting the information has been used.

#Recently, there has been a technique that searches on the Internet and turns on and off a predetermined device by words brought out by a user (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1).

#FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an information output device in an embodiment.

#FIG. 2 is a flowchart describing an operation of the information output device.

#FIG. 3 is a flowchart describing another operation of the information output device.

#The following will describe one example of an information output device and the like in embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings. Note that components with the same reference numerals in the embodiments perform similar operations, and therefore the repeated descriptions will be omitted in some cases.

#The information output device in the embodiments is, for example, a server. For example, the server is a server in a company that provides a service, such as information search, the server may be, for example, a cloud server and an ASP server, and any type of the server may be used. The server is communicatively connected to one or two or more terminals (not illustrated) via, for example, a network, such as LAN and the Internet, and a wireless or wired communication line. The terminal is, for example, a mobile terminal of a user who uses a service, such as information search, but may be, for example, a stationary PC, and any type of the terminal may be used. The mobile terminal is, for example, a tablet terminal, a smart phone, a mobile phone, and a notebook PC, but the mobile terminal is not limited to them.

#However, the information output device may be, for example, a stand-alone terminal, and means to achieve it is not limited to them. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an information output device 100 in an embodiment. The information output device 100 includes a storage unit 1, a reception unit 2, a processing unit 3, and an output unit 4. The storage unit 1 includes a table storage unit 11, an intent storage unit 12, an API information storage unit 13, a corpus storage unit 14, an entity storage unit 15, an entity mapping information storage unit 16, a PK item storage unit 17, and a day conversion information storage unit 18. The reception unit 2 includes conversational sentence reception means 21. The conversational sentence reception means 21 includes voice reception means 211 and voice recognition means 212.
