Information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program
First Claim
1. An information processing electronic device configured to:
- execute a first process for analyzing an image captured by a camera and for determining whether the image contains a face;
execute a second process for analyzing speech input from a microphone;
receive a result of the first process and a result of the second process and execute output control of help information for a user;
judge a duration over which a face of the user faces a particular direction on the basis of the result of the first process, if the image is determined to contain a face;
determine a number of times the information processing electronic device rejects execution of a process, corresponding to the speech input, in response to the speech input made by the user;
determine a user level of the user based on the number of times the information processing electronic device rejects the execution of the process corresponding to the speech input, a feature quantity and a predetermined threshold value for the number of times of rejecting the execution of the process, wherein the feature quantity represents information regarding reasons for rejecting the execution of the process; and
calculate a degree of difficulty of the user by using information regarding the judgment, the number of times and the determined user level, and if the degree of difficulty that has been calculated is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, execute a process for outputting the help information to the user.

Abstract
An information processing apparatus includes an image analysis unit that executes a process for analyzing an image captured by a camera, a speech analysis unit that executes a process for analyzing speech input from a microphone, and a data processing unit that receives a result of the analysis conducted by the image analysis unit and a result of the analysis conducted by the speech analysis unit and that executes output control of help information for a user. The data processing unit calculates a degree of difficulty of the user on the basis of at least either the result of the image analysis or the result of the speech analysis and, if the degree of difficulty that has been calculated is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, executes a process for outputting help information to the user.

12. An information processing method that is used in an information processing apparatus, the information processing method comprising:
-
executing, with an image analysis unit, a process for analyzing an image captured by a camera; executing, with a speech analysis unit, a process for analyzing speech input from a microphone; and receiving, with a data processing unit, a result of the analysis conducted by the image analysis unit and a result of the analysis conducted by the speech analysis unit and executing output control of help information for a user, wherein, in the receiving, a degree of difficulty of the user is calculated based on; a duration over which a face of the user faces a particular direction, if the image is determined to contain a face, the duration being determined based on the result of the image analysis, a number of times the information processing apparatus rejects execution of a process, corresponding to the speech input, in response to the speech input made by the user, and a user level of the user determined based on the number of times the information processing electronic device rejects the execution of the process corresponding to the speech input, a feature quantity and a predetermined threshold value for the number of times of rejecting the execution of the process, wherein the feature quantity represents information regarding reasons for rejecting the execution of the process, and if the degree of difficulty that has been calculated is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, a process for outputting the help information to the user is executed.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by an information processing apparatus, cause the information processing apparatus to:
-
cause an image analysis unit to execute a process for analyzing an image captured by a camera; cause a speech analysis unit to execute a process for analyzing speech input from a microphone; and cause a data processing unit to receive a result of the analysis conducted by the image analysis unit and a result of the analysis conducted by the speech analysis unit and to execute output control of help information to a user, wherein, in the causing of the data processing unit to receive the result, a degree of difficulty of the user is calculated based on; a duration over which a face of the user faces a particular direction, if the image is determined to contain a face, the duration being determined based on the result of the image analysis, a number of times the information processing apparatus rejects execution of a process, corresponding to the speech input, in response to the speech input made by the user, and a user level of the user determined based on the number of times the information processing electronic device rejects the execution of the process corresponding to the speech input, a feature quantity and a predetermined threshold value for the number of times of rejecting the execution of the process, wherein the feature quantity represents information regarding reasons for rejecting the execution of the process, and if the degree of difficulty that has been calculated is equal to or more than a predetermined threshold value, a process for outputting the help information to the user is executed.
