Abstract: An agent device that receives state information regarding a state of a vehicle from the vehicle, and receive a question from a user as question information; performs inference processing for the received question information and the received state information in order to infer an intent of the question; and acquires a response to the question based on the inferred intent.

Abstract: The information processing device includes a storage unit, a communication unit, a time information provision unit, and a control unit. The storage unit stores spot information including location information and time frame information. The communication unit can communicate with information equipment carried by a user and an in-vehicle device mounted on a vehicle on which the user is located, and can acquire current location information of either or both of the information equipment and the vehicle. The time information provision unit provides current time information. The control unit determines a virtual area based on the current location information, extracts a spot located in the virtual area based on the spot information, and determines whether to generate a notification related to the extracted spot based on the location information of the extracted spot, the time frame information associated with the extracted spot, the current location information, and the current time information.

Abstract: An information processing device acquires question information. The information processing device acquires vehicle state information representing a state of the vehicle. The information processing device acquires answer information in response to the question information, the answer information including an image for display. The information processing device, in a case in which the vehicle state information represents that the vehicle is traveling, stores the answer information in a storage. The information processing device, in a case in which the information processing device acquires vehicle state information representing that the vehicle is stopped, outputs the answer information stored in the storage.

Abstract: An agent device receives input information that is input by the user, in a case in which the input information is a question from the user, executes inference processing on the input information to infer an intent of the question in order to acquire a response to the question based on the intent, in a case in which a plurality of the responses are acquired, provides the notification device with option information that includes the plurality of responses as options, in a case in which new input information is received, determines whether the new input information is information requiring the inference processing or is selection information relating to a selection result from selection of the options, and in a case in which the new input information is the selection information, provides the notification device with response information regarding the response associated with the selection result without executing the inference processing.

Abstract: An agent system includes a first memory and a first processor coupled to the first memory. The first processor analyzes contents of a verbal question, and caries out pre-processing that replaces vocabulary, which is used in the contents of the question, with homogenized vocabulary, and generates response information based on results of analysis. In a case in which there exists substitution vocabulary that has replaced original vocabulary in the pre-processing, the first processor changes the response information such that it can be recognized that the substitution vocabulary in the response information is synonymous with the original vocabulary, and outputs the response information.
