Abstract

See full text

A support and complement device etc., are provided, which appropriately generates the character's motion for content introduction in a simple manner. The user inputs a command to an input device, which specifies the character's motion used for content introduction. The support and complement device complements the command input operation. The content includes material data and language data. The language data includes voice data to be emitted by the character. A unit for recognizing emotions analyzes the material data and the language data, and deduces the emotion pattern to be expressed by the character. A unit for choosing commands determines the character's motion using the deduced emotion pattern, command, and voice data, and generates a motion command. A unit for reading out animation movies for user's check instructs a readout device to display a proposed animation movie generated by the unit for choosing commands, thereby allowing the user to review it.
