Response output device and system

Abstract

This invention provides a more suitable response output technology. According to this invention, it contributes to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) "9. Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation" and "11. Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable." [Solution] A response output device that outputs a response related to artificial intelligence (AI), which creates a question prompt based on user input through a user interface, sends the prompt to the AI, obtains a response from the AI, and outputs the response to the user through the user interface. If a user input for a second question is received while the first response to a first question is being output, the device accepts the second question, stops outputting the first response, obtains a second response to the second question, and outputs it to the user.

Claims

1. A response output device that outputs a response related to artificial intelligence (AI), The system generates question prompts based on user input through a user interface, sends the prompts to the AI, obtains answers from the AI, and outputs the answers to the user through the user interface. If, while outputting the first answer to the first question, the user input for the next second question is received, The system accepts the second question, stops outputting the first answer, obtains the second answer to the second question, and outputs it to the user. Response output device.

2. In the response output device according to claim 1, In the output of the first response, the history records which portion of the entire response text was output. Based on the history, control the system to generate the second answer to the next second question. Response output device.

3. In the response output device according to claim 1, The processor starts and operates in parallel a main thread for controlling the conversation between the question and the answer, an utterance thread for outputting the answer, and a listening thread for receiving user input for the question. Response output device.

4. In the response output device according to claim 1, The user input in the aforementioned question is voice input. The output of the above response is an audio output. Response output device.

5. In the response output device according to claim 1, The user input in the aforementioned question is text input. The output of the above response is text output. Response output device.

6. In the response output device according to claim 1, The user input in the aforementioned question is voice input. The output of the above response is a simultaneous output of audio and text. Response output device.

7. In the response output device according to claim 6, The output of the aforementioned response is such that one finishes first because the output speeds of the audio output and the text output are different. If user input for the second question is received while the first answer is being output, the output of either or both of the audio output and / or text output of the first answer, which are currently being output, will be stopped. Response output device.

8. In the response output device according to claim 7, In the output of the first response, the history records which portion of the entire response text was output. Based on the history, control the system to generate the second answer to the next second question. When recording the history, a determination is made as to whether to record the audio output or the text output of the response as the history. Response output device.

9. In the response output device according to claim 6, The output of the aforementioned answer is controlled so that the output speed of the audio output and the text output are the same and the output is synchronized. Response output device.

10. In the response output device according to claim 1, The system determines whether the user input for the second question is meaningful or meaningless. If it is meaningless, it is not accepted as the second question. If it is meaningful, it is accepted as the second question, and the output of the first answer is stopped. Response output device.

11. In the response output device according to claim 10, In the output of the first response, the history records which portion of the entire response text was output. Based on the history, control the system to generate the second answer to the next second question. Determine whether the content of the first answer is related to the content of the second question. If there is a relationship, the topic will continue; if there is no relationship, the topic will change, and the history will be recorded accordingly. Response output device.

12. A response output system comprising a response output device that outputs a response related to artificial intelligence (AI) and a server equipped with the AI, The response output device is The system generates question prompts based on user input through a user interface, sends the prompts to the AI, obtains answers from the AI, and outputs the answers to the user through the user interface. If, while outputting the first answer to the first question, the user input for the next second question is received, The system accepts the second question, stops outputting the first answer, obtains the second answer to the second question, and outputs it to the user. Response output system.
