Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a psycho-physical state detection mechanism for detecting a psycho-physical state of a user based on input speech data from the user;
a spoken dialogue mechanism for carrying on a dialogue with the user based on the psycho-physical stale of the user, detected by the psycho-physical detection mechanism from the input speech data from the user;
a speech understanding mechanism for understanding the input speech data from the user based on the psycho-physical state of the user to generate a literal meaning of the speech data; and
a voice response generation mechanism for generating a voice response to the user based on the literal meaning of the input speech data and the psycho-physical state of the user, wherein the voice response to the user is linguistically and acoustically adjusted according to the detected psycho-physical state of the user.

Abstract
An arrangement is provided to achieve automated voice responding dialogue that is psycho-physical state sensitive. The input speech data from a user is used to detect the psycho-physical state of the user. Spoken words are then recognized from the input speech data based on the detected psycho-physical state of the user. The recognized words form a transcription which is then used to generate a voice response that is appropriate according to the transcription and the psycho-physical state of the user.

7. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a psycho-physical state detection mechanism, input speech data from a user; detecting a psycho-physical state of the user from the input speech data; understanding, by a speech understanding mechanism, a literal meaning of spoken words recognized from the input speech data based on the psycho-physical state of the user, detected by the detecting; and generating, by a voice response generation mechanism, a voice response to the user based on the literal meaning of the input speech data and the psycho-physical state of the user, wherein the voice response to the user is linguistically and acoustically adjusted according to the detected psycho-physical state of the user. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11)

12. A computer-readable medium encoded with a program, said program comprising instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to:
-
receive, by a psycho-physical state detection mechanism, input speech data from a user; detect a psycho-physical state of the user from the input speech data; understand, by a speech understanding mechanism, a literal meaning of spoken words recognized from the input speech data based on the psycho-physical state of the user; and generate, by a voice response generation mechanism, a voice response to the user based on the literal meaning of the input speech data and the psycho-physical state of the user, wherein the voice response to the user is linguistically and acoustically adjusted according to the detected psycho-physical state of the user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
