Abstract
An in-vehicle apparatus 100 collects a user's voice at predetermined time intervals by using, for example, microphones, and transmits the voice to an analysis server 200 as audio data. The analysis server 200 extracts features of the user's voice, such as tone, pitch and speech intervals, from the received audio data, and analyzes and determines the user's feeling based on the extracted features of the voice so as to generate feeling state information and to send it back to the in-vehicle apparatus 100. The in-vehicle apparatus 100 refers to the feeling state information and thereby gives a content modification to content that has been automatically generated.
Claims6
An information providing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition section that acquires driving-related information and/or user- related information, wherein the driving-related information is related to driving of a vehicle and the user-related information is related to a user in the vehicle;
- an input section that inputs biological data of the user;
- a transmission section that transmits the input biological data to an analysis server;
- a reception section that receives, from the analysis server, a result of analysis of the user's feeling, the analysis being made by the analysis server based on the biological data;
- a generation section that generates content based on the acquired driving- related information and/or user-related information and based on the received result of analysis of the user's feeling, so that the content reflects the result of analysis of the user's feeling;
- and
- a posting control section that transmits the generated content to a posting site.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program executed by an information providing apparatus, the program causing the information providing apparatus to function as:
- an acquisition section that acquires driving-related information and/or user- related information, wherein the driving-related information is related to driving of a vehicle and the user-related information is related to a user in the vehicle;
- an input section that inputs biological data of the user;
- a transmission section that transmits the input biological data to an analysis server;
- a reception section that receives, from the analysis server, a result of analysis of the user's feeling, the analysis being made by the analysis server based on the biological data;
- a generation section that generates content based on the acquired driving- related information and/or user-related information and based on the received result of analysis of the user's feeling, so that the content reflects the result of analysis of the user's feeling;
- and
- a posting control section that transmits the generated content to a posting site.
