Estimating the term…
Sound direction control is executed so a user utterance of a conversation partner via a network is heard as an utterance from a user position of the conversation partner with respect to a predefined self-position. A communication unit that receives a user utterance of a conversation partner via a network, and an output sound control unit that executes output control of the user utterance are included. An output sound control unit executes sound direction control and volume control so that a user utterance is heard as an utterance from a user position of a conversation partner with respect to a predefined self-position. The user position of the conversation partner with respect to the self position is determined according to a predetermined fixed position or a degree of intimacy with the conversation partner, and is set to a position closer to the self position as the degree of intimacy is higher.
