According to the figure, the current state declared by the callee is "busy (the highest level among the five levels)", the speaker has the type of conversation "information acquisition", and the degree of urgency of the conversation " The situation at the time of talking to the called party is shown based on "anytime is good (even after tomorrow, the lowest level)" and the conversation content "chat". Here, the callee thinks that the human relationship with the caller is “particularly intimately associated”, and the story of the talk being spoken is “not the expected dialogue content”.
It is shown that. Furthermore, the frequency of conversation between the caller and
It is shown to be "several times a week."

Next, the calling device 100 accesses the called device 200 of the callee to indicate the busyness of the callee.
And “there is no particular expectation” regarding the dialogue that the callee considers, “there is a particularly deep relationship” between the callee and the callee, and the callee state acquisition unit 120, respectively. Is input to the human relationship acquisition unit 130 and the callee expected information acquisition unit 150 (step 110).

From the human relationship acquisition unit 130, the information "human relation is particularly deep: YES: value 1" regarding the human relationship with the sender, which the recipient considers, is input, and the conversation frequency acquisition unit 140 is input.
Based on the above human relationship calculation formula (a), the total human relationship prediction unit 170, to which the frequency of conversation between callers “more than once a week: YES: value 1” is input, (human relationship) = α × 1 + β × 0 + γ × 1 + δ × 0 = α + γ is obtained.

Further, from the dialogue information acquisition unit 110, the relation "chat: value 0" between the content of the dialogue and the called party, the type of dialogue "information acquisition: value 1", and the degree of urgency of the dialogue "always good:
The value "-1" is input, and the degree to which the called party expects the conversation from the called party expected information acquisition section 150 "I did not particularly expect: value 0" is entered.
In the above, (profit) = ε × 0 + ζ × 1 + η × (-1) + θ × 0 + ι = ζ − η + ι is obtained based on the above-mentioned recipient profit calculation formula (b) ( Step 120).
