The characteristic information management unit 140 may determine personality characteristic information by substituting one or more pieces of behavior keyword information extracted from the collected journal information for a predetermined period into the personality determination matrix and quantifying and scoring the same. For example, the personality discrimination matrix may be assigned an affirmative +3 point in the keyword "Mundo" and a "positive + 2 points and a dignity +1" in the keyword "do" "Negative +3" and "Mindfulness +3" are given to the keyword, "Negative" and "Dependency +1" are given to the keyword "Mind" and "Negative" And the characteristic information management unit 140 may be configured to assign a negative value of +3 and a dependence value of +2 to the keyword of "see ", and the characteristic information management unit 140 may generate a behavior keyword Each time the information is extracted, the score set in the personality discrimination matrix of the person's characteristic information of the pet can be scored so as to determine in which direction the personality characteristic of the pet is separated from the aggressiveness, the passiveness, the longevity and the dependency. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various personality items may be included in the personality determination matrix to form a matrix, and that the present invention includes all the modifications.

In addition, when the behavior characteristic information is determined, the pet character interface management unit 190 may generate a pet character interface indicating behavior and intention based on the personality characteristic information. For example, if the pet character is a dog, the pet character interface management unit 190 periodically displays the fear to the user, or if the person character information is determined to be "passive" and "dependency" It is possible to generate a pet character interface that is sensitive to information input. In addition, the pet character interface managing unit 190 may generate a pet character interface that relies on the user or indicates a representation waiting for the user's instruction.
