Abstract

To maintain an establishment of a conversation according to a user utterance condition, even in respect to an 'answer impossible' user utterance. A conversation control apparatus includes: a conversation data base which stores a plurality of plans each including an answer sentence and next candidate prescription information which prescribes a next candidate answer sentence, which is an answer sentence due to be transmitted in an order succeeding the answer sentence; a planned conversation processor which, in the event that a second user utterance bears no relation to the next candidate answer sentence, or a relation is unclear, defers a transmission of the next candidate answer sentence; a talk space conversation control processor which, in the event that a planned conversation control module defers the transmission of the next candidate answer sentence, searches for a topic related to the second user utterance and, in the event that it does not find a topic related to the second user utterance, defers the transmission of the answer sentence related to the topic; and a CA conversation processor which, in the event that a talk space conversation module defers the transmission of the answer sentence, evaluates the second user utterance from the second user utterance, and transmits the answer sentence in accordance with an evaluation result.
