ABSTRACT:
An object of the invention is to provide an emotion detecting method capable of detecting emotion of a human accurately, and provide sensibility generating method capable of outputting sensibility akin to that of a human. An intensity, a tempo, and intonation in each word of a voice are detected based on an inputted voice signal, amounts of change are obtained for the detected contents, respectively, and signals expressing each states of emotion of anger, sadness, and pleasure are generated based on the amounts of change. A partner's emotion or situation information is inputted, and thus instinctive motivation information is generated. Moreover, emotion information including basic emotion parameters of pleasure, anger, and sadness is generated, which is controlled based on the individuality information.
