Abstract
In the dialog interface apparatus of the present invention, input speech is converted to an input semantic representation by a speech recognition unit, and a dialog management unit outputs an output semantic representation that corresponds to the input semantic representation, based on the input semantic representation obtained by the speech recognition unit. Having received the output semantic representation from the dialog management unit, a speech synthesis unit converts the output semantic representation to output speech identifying a specific dialog target and outputs the output speech. Further, the dialog management unit outputs to an innate operation execution unit an innate operation command that corresponds to the input semantic representation. The innate operation execution unit receives the innate operation command from the dialog management unit and executes an operation corresponding to the innate operation command.
