Information processing device, information processing method, and computer program

The present invention makes it possible and easier to serve optimum robot components/devices/accessories by means of an information service system including personal terminal devices (A toC) connected to an information communication network via a telecommunication line, and a server () connected to the information communication network via the telecommunication line to cumulatively store information on components/devices/accessories available from a plurality of manufacturers (and) (third party) of components/devices/accessories of a robot, as classified according to the attributes of the components/devices/accessories and send, to the personal terminal devices (A toC) connected thereto, options information prepared based on the attribute of the cumulatively stored components/devices/accessories information and including a plurality of items for selection of a robot component.

Information providing system, information providing device, and system for controlling robot device

The present invention relates to a voice output apparatus capable of, in response to a particular stimulus, stopping outputting a voice and outputting a reaction. The voice output apparatus is capable of outputting a voice in a natural manner. A rule-based synthesizerproduces a synthesized voice and outputs it. For example, when a synthesized voice 'Where is an exit' was produced and outputting of the synthesized voice data has proceeded until 'Where is an e' has been output, if a user taps a robot, then a reaction generatordetermines, by referring to a reaction database, that a reaction voice &#x201c;Ouch!&#x201d; should be output in response to being tapped. The reaction generatorthen controls an output controllerso as to stop outputting the synthesized voice &#x201c;Where is an exit?&#x201d; and output the reaction voice &#x201c;Ouch!&#x201d;. Thereafter, the reaction generatorcontrols the read pointer of a buffercontrolled by the read controllersuch that the outputting of the synthesized voice is resumed from the point at which the outputting was stopped. Thus, the synthesized voice &#x201c;Where is an e, Ouch!, xit?&#x201d; is output.
