A setting apparatus includes: a CPU and a memory connected to the CPU. The memory is configured to store information regarding each of a plurality of users individually using a single space. The CPU is configured to perform: identifying a user to use the space; authenticating the user identified in the identifying; setting devices provided in the space based on the information stored in the memory. The information stored in the memory includes: first information; and second information given stricter restriction than the first information. The CPU is configured to perform: the setting including performing a predetermined setting of the devices provided in the space based on the first information of the user identified in the identifying.

Setting apparatus

An agent device includes a microphone configured to collect a speech sound inside a vehicle cabin, a speaker configured to output a speech sound inside the vehicle cabin, and a plurality of agent function elements having different functions. Each of the plurality of agent function elements generates a speech sound of an agent that speaks to an occupant of a vehicle on the basis of a meaning of the speech sound collected by the microphone, causes the speaker to output the generated speech sound of the agent. The agent function element serving as a main agent that has a dialogue with the occupant is switched on the basis of content of the speech sound collected by the microphone.

Agent device, agent control method, and program

A vehicle system includes: a camera that can capture an image of a vehicle occupant; and a state change unit that can change an image capturing state for the vehicle occupant by the camera to each of an image capturing permitted state where an image of the vehicle occupant is permitted to be captured and an image capturing limited state where capturing the image of the vehicle occupant is limited. The state change unit changes the image capturing state for each vehicle occupant.

Vehicle system

An agent device includes a display unit, a microphone configured to collect a voice in an occupant compartment, a plurality of speakers configured to enable localization of a sound image through a combination of outputs, and an agent controller configured to cause the display unit to display an agent image and cause the speakers to output sounds, wherein the agent controller is configured to identify a speaking person who has spoken the voice collected by the microphone among occupants in a vehicle and to cause the agent image to be displayed in a mode of talking to the occupant in a partial area of the display unit near the speaking person while causing a sound image to be localized at a display position of the agent image.

Agent device, agent presentation method, and storage medium

A control device includes: a recognition unit that recognizes predetermined behavior of a user; an estimation unit that estimates a situation of the user on the basis of the predetermined behavior that is recognized by the recognition unit; an evaluation unit that evaluates certainty of an estimation result from the estimation unit; and an output unit that outputs to the control unit, an operation instruction in accordance with the certainty.

Control device and control method

An operation assistance system includes: a motion recognition unit that recognizes predetermined motion of a hand of a vehicle occupant; a position recognition unit that recognizes a first relative position corresponding to a relative position of the hand of the vehicle occupant with respect to a first vehicle; a specifying unit that specifies a second on-vehicle device of a second vehicle that is operated by using an operation unit of the second vehicle provided at a second relative position that is a relative position with respect to the second vehicle and corresponds to the first relative position; and a control unit that assists an operation for a first on-vehicle device of the first vehicle, the first on-vehicle device including a function common with that of the second on-vehicle device.
