Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing apparatus supports dialogue using dialogue apparatuses used by a plurality of users located remotely from each other. The information processing apparatus includes a controller configured to estimate, during execution of a remote dialogue, a parameter of each interlocutor with respect to a topic of the remote dialogue based on a video of each interlocutor, display an alert, on a first dialogue apparatus of a first user, indicating each interlocutor whose estimated parameter is less than a threshold, and when the first user gazes at and speaks to an interlocutor displayed with the alert among a plurality of interlocutors as second users displayed on a screen of the first dialogue apparatus, transmit first audio data with a high volume to a second dialogue apparatus of the interlocutor and transmit second audio data with a low volume to second dialogue apparatus of interlocutors other than the interlocutor.
