Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a voice acquisition section, a reliability generation section, and a processing execution section. The voice acquisition section acquires an ambient voice. The reliability generation section generates reliability indicating a degree in which the acquired voice is uttered from the particular position on the basis of a predetermined transfer characteristic. As the predetermined transfer characteristic, a phase difference or acoustic characteristic of the voice can be assumed. The processing execution section executes a process according to the generated reliability. As the process according to the reliability, a notification according to the reliability or a predetermined command can be assumed to be executed.
