Abstract

To estimate how a user feels empathy.SOLUTION: A processor of an information processing apparatus 1 executes a program to function as: means (S2) for receiving data of a speech of a real user from a user terminal; means (S9) for transmitting, to a speech sentence generation apparatus, a request to generate a speech of a virtual user together with data of histories of speeches of the real user and the virtual user; means (S10) for receiving data of a speech of the virtual user from the speech sentence generation apparatus; means (S12) for transmitting, to the user terminal, the received data of the speech of the virtual user; means (S23) for determining, based on the speech of the real user, whether the real user agrees with or disagrees with the speech of the virtual user; and means (S24, S25, S26) for calculating, based on a result of the determination, the empathy score indicating how the real user feels empathy with the virtual user.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5
