[Problem to be solved by the invention]

The input processing method in conventional interactive systems is structured as described above, and it is not possible for the user to arbitrarily decide on the name of the execution function or target data in a way that makes it easy for the user to remember, resulting in the following problems. be. ■Problem that you may make a mistake when entering a name, ■Problem that it is not possible to memorize multiple process procedures because the contents of the process procedure storage section are cleared when you perform "manual execution", ■1
Since the processing procedure is cleared when the session ends, there was a problem that when using the system again, even if the processing procedure was the same as the previous time, the processing procedure had to be manually performed from the beginning.

This invention was made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an interactive system that accumulates personal information and adapts to the user as the number of times the user uses the interactive system increases. The purpose is to provide an input processing method for the system.

[Means to solve the problem]

The human processing method in the interactive system according to the present invention is to start an application or application software using an input device such as a keyboard, a voice recognition device, or a mouse, and to start the application software using an output device such as a display or a voice command device. In an interactive system that obtains software output information, there is a means for analyzing manually input information and converting it into an internal representation, a means for storing personal information, and a means for interpreting the internal representation to start application software and display personal information. It provides means for searching and updating information.

(Operation) In the present invention, the means for storing personal information of users is exclusively assigned to each user, and the storage is retained even when the session ends. Therefore, the user can store and update user-specific information at any time.

In addition, the means for interpreting the internal representation to start application software, searching for and updating the user's personal information, and the means for storing the user's personal information are based on the analysis results of the user's input information. , it determines whether it starts application software or stores the user's personal information, so the user can input freely without being aware of the manual mode.
