  • a unit of memory for inputted commands which stores a specification command inputted, the specification command specifying a motion of a character other than a voice emission motion;

    a unit of memory for inputted data which stores language data;

    an emotion classification unit;

    a unit for choosing commands which generates a motion command which represents a motion of the character; and

    a unit for reading out the animation movies which instructs a readout device to play back the motion of the character specified by the motion command;

    wherein the unit of memory for inputted data stores material data;

    the emotion classification unit analyzes the specification command and deduces at least one basic emotion pattern from an analysis result of the specification command;

    the emotion classification unit analyzes the language data and deduces at least one basic emotion pattern from an analysis result of the language data;

    the emotion classification unit analyzes the material data and deduces at least one basic emotion pattern from an analysis result of the material data;

    the unit for choosing commands generates the motion command based on the at least one basic emotion pattern deduced from the specification command, the at least one basic emotion pattern deduced from the language data and the at least one basic emotion pattern deduced from the material data;

    the unit for reading out the animation movies instructs the readout device to play back, in a synchronized manner, the material data and the motion of the character specified by the motion command.
