Vehicular device, server, and information processing method
First Claim
1. A vehicular device for performing dialogs with a vehicular driver, comprising:
- a communication portion which communicates with a server;
an output portion which outputs speech information to the driver;
an input portion which inputting information based on speech uttered by the driver; and
a controller which controls the communication portion, the output portion, and the input portion;
wherein, when trigger information for starting a dialog process is generated in the vehicular device or in the server, the controller receives information indicative of the type of a first dialog forming a starting point of the dialog process and information indicative of the type of a second dialog forming an ending point of the dialog process from the server and carries out the dialog process based on the received information, the type of the second dialog being different from the type of the first dialog.

Abstract
The technique is implemented by a vehicular device for performing dialogs with the driver. This device has: a communication portion for communicating with a server; an output portion for outputting speech information to the driver; an input portion for inputting information based on speech uttered by the driver; and a controller for controlling the communication portion, the output portion, and the input portion. When trigger information for starting a dialog process in the vehicular device or in the server is generated, the controller receives information indicative of the type of a first dialog forming a starting point of the dialog process and information indicative of the type of a second dialog forming an ending point of the dialog process from the server and carries out the dialog process based on the received information. The second dialog is different in type from the first dialog.

7. A server capable of communicating with a vehicular device that performs dialogs with a vehicular driver, comprising:
-
a communication portion which communicates with the vehicular device; and a controller which controls the communication portion; wherein the controller provides control such that, when trigger information initiating a dialog process is generated in the vehicular device or in the server, the controller sends information, indicative of the type of a first dialog forming a starting point of the dialog process and information indicative of the type of a second dialog forming an ending point of the dialog process to the vehicular device, the type of the second dialog being different from the type of the first dialog. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A method of information processing in a system including a vehicular device for performing dialogs with a vehicular driver and a server capable of communicating with the vehicular device, the method comprising the steps of:
-
detecting environmental information indicative of any one type of circumstances of a vehicle, circumstances of the vehicle interior, and operative state of the vehicular device by a detection portion of the vehicular device; generating first information and second information by a generation portion of the server when trigger information initiating a dialog process in the vehicular device or in the server is generated, the first information indicating the type of a first dialog forming a starting point of the dialog process and corresponding to the trigger information, the second information indicating the type of a second dialog forming an ending point of the dialog process and corresponding to the environmental information, the type of the second dialog being different from the type of the first dialog; and performing the dialog process with the driver by an output portion of the vehicular device based on the generated first and second information.
