Abstract

The situation of a conversation can be allowed to be grasped in more detail. A statement of each participant participating in a conversation is detected by processing a voice signal. The state of each participant participating in the conversation, for example, a direction in which each participant is looking is detected by processing an image signal. The state and existence of a conversation are determined on the basis of the statement of each participant and the state of each participant. The state and existence of a conversation can be determined with higher accuracy than in a technology that determines the state and existence of a conversation only by statements of participants.
