Abstract
To provide an information processing device, an information processing method, and a computer program that assist a device operation of a user. An information processing device includes an input unit that receives input from a user, and a presentation unit that presents information regarding a command for operating a predetermined device on the basis of the input. The input unit receives input by at least one of voice or gesture from a user. The presentation unit presents a candidate of a command including at least one of voice or gesture and partially matching the input.
Claims13
An information processing device comprising:
- an interface configured to receive input from a user by way of at least one of voice input and gesture input of the user;
- presentation circuitry configured to present at least two candidate commands for at least two different types of operations of a predetermined device for the user's selection of a desired one of the candidate commands for operating the predetermined device, the candidate commands being associated with the input from the user, and each of the candidate commands being presented as a first candidate command of a first type of modal and a second candidate command of a second type of modal which is different from the first type of modal;
- a memory configured to store preceding voice or gesture input of the user immediately preceding each command;
- and
- search circuitry configured to search in the memory the preceding voice or gesture input that is similar to the input from the user, wherein
- the presentation circuitry is further configured to present at least two candidate commands for at least two different types of operations of the predetermined device corresponding to the preceding voice or gesture input searched by the search circuitry.
An information processing device comprising:
- an interface configured to receive input from a user;
- and
- presentation circuitry configured to present at least two candidate commands for at least two different types of operations of a predetermined device for the user's selection of a desired one of the candidate commands for operating the predetermined device, the candidate commands being associated with the input from the user, and each of the candidate commands being presented as a first candidate command of a first type of modal and a second candidate command of a second type of modal which is different from the first type of modal, wherein
- the input from the user is in one of a plurality of types of modals, including a voice modal and a gesture modal, and
- the presentation circuitry is further configured to present the candidate commands for the different types of operations of the predetermined device in a different type of modal from a type of modal of the input from the user.
An information processing method executed by an information processing device, the method comprising:
- receiving input from a user by way of at least one of voice input and gesture input of the user;
- presenting at least two candidate commands for at least two different types of operations of a predetermined device for the user's selection of a desired one of the candidate commands for operating the predetermined device, the candidate commands being associated with the input from the user, and each of the candidate commands being presented as a first candidate command of a first type of modal and a second candidate command of a second type of modal which is different from the first type of modal;
- storing in a memory preceding voice or gesture input of the user immediately preceding each command;
- and
- searching in the memory the preceding voice or gesture input that is similar to the input from the user, wherein
- the presenting further presents at least two candidate commands for at least two different types of operations of the predetermined device corresponding to the preceding voice or gesture input searched in the searching.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program described in a computer-readable format so as to cause a computer to function as an information processing device comprising:
- an interface configured to receive input from a user;
- and
- presentation circuitry configured to present at least two candidate commands for at least two different types of operations of a predetermined device for the user's selection of a desired one of the candidate commands for operating the predetermined device, the candidate commands being associated with the input from the user, and each of the candidate commands being presented as a first candidate command of a first type of modal and a second candidate command of a second type of modal which is different from the first type of modal, wherein
- the input from the user is in one of a plurality of types of modals, including a voice modal and a gesture modal, and
- the presentation circuitry is further configured to present the candidate commands for the different types of operations of the predetermined device in a different type of modal from a type of modal of the input from the user.
