Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A communication interface apparatus for a system and a plurality of users is provided. The communication interface apparatus for the system and the plurality of users includes a first process unit configured to receive voice information and face information from at least one user, and determine whether the received voice information is voice information of at least one registered user based on user models corresponding to the respective received voice information and face information; a second process unit configured to receive the face information, and determine whether the at least one user's attention is on the system based on the received face information; and a third process unit configured to receive the voice information, analyze the received voice information, and determine whether the received voice information is substantially meaningful to the system based on a dialog model that represents conversation flow on a situation basis.
First claim
