Abstract
An interactive-type user interface device for a navigation system or the like in a car enables switching of application programs (APs) in the course of a single interaction with simple scenario descriptions for realizing interactive processing. A scenario for realizing interactive processing by a controller includes a root scenario and a plurality of AP scenario groups, each corresponding to a different AP. In each AP scenario group, only information for acquiring information needed by the respective AP is described. Processing for starting the APs and processing for loading the respective AP scenario groups are described together in the root scenario. Each AP scenario group includes an AP root scenario and multiple AP scenarios. Dialogue information relating to a predetermined topic for realizing interactive processing is described in each AP scenario, while information for branching to the AP scenarios is described in the AP root scenario.
