Abstract

See full text

A special relation is formed between an owner and a virtual pet and a sense for feeling a pet more similar to a true pet is produced. Voice inputted from a microphone 22 is recognized by a recognizing part 20. Then, a speaker data base 12 is referred to to identify a speaking individual. In the data base 12, prescribed words and phrases are registered and events corresponding to the words and phrases are stored in an event list 31. If the words and phrases spoken by the individual to a pet satisfy an event generating condition, events (crying, swinging a tail, etc.) corresponding to the recognized words and phrases will be performed.
