Abstract
The user's waiting time in a dialogue system is effectively utilized. A dialogue apparatus makes a first dialogue with a user and judges whether a second dialogue should be started when a user's waiting time occurs during the first dialogue, For example, when information necessary to further continue the first dialogue is acquired via a network during the first dialogue, a waiting time occurs, If the waiting time is expected to be long, the second dialogue is made during the first waiting time, After this dialogue ends, the first dialogue is resumed, Thus, the waiting time during the dialogue becomes shorter, so that the connection time is effectively utilized.
