Abstract To solve the problem in which: when others are present around a user, the user may hesitate to utter a start-up word.SOLUTION: A control unit controls an agent device functioning as a user interface of a request processing apparatus that acquires a request indicated by a user's voice and executes processing according to the request. The control unit comprises: a fixation point specification unit that specifies the user's fixation point; and a state determination unit that, when the fixation point is located at (i) part of an agent used for transmission of information to the user, or (ii) part of an image output unit displaying or projecting an image of the agent, determines to change the state of the agent device from a standby state to process a start-up request for starting response processing via the agent to a start-up state to process a request other than the start-up request via the agent.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】 例えば、周囲に他人が存在する場合、ユーザによっては、起動ワードを発話することにためらいを感じることがある。【解決手段】 制御装置が、ユーザの音声により示される要求を取得し、当該要求に応じた処理を実行する要求処理装置のユーザインタフェースとして機能するエージェント装置を制御する。制御装置が、ユーザの注視点を特定する注視点特定部と、注視点が、(i)ユーザへの情報の伝達に利用されるエージェントの一部、又は、(ii)エージェントの画像を表示若しくは投影する画像出力部の一部に位置する場合、エージェント装置の状態を、エージェントを介した応答処理を開始するための起動要求を処理するスタンバイ状態から、エージェントを介して起動要求以外の要求を処理する起動状態に変更することを決定する状態決定部とを備える。【選択図】図1
