Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. An information processing device comprising:
control circuitry configured to:
receive, from a remote device, a voice input from a user;
perform a voice recognition and a semantic analysis of the voice input from the user to create a semantically analyzed voice input;
output:
first information related to the voice input to a first external agent device, and
second information related to the voice input to a second external agent device,
wherein the first information is formed by voice synthesizing the semantically analyzed voice input, and
wherein the second information is the semantically analyzed voice input;

receive:
a first reply to the voice input from the first external agent device,
a second reply to the voice input the second external agent device, and
a third reply to the voice input from a third external agent device that has independently received the voice input from the user,
wherein:
the first reply is a synthesized voice output from the first external agent device,
the second reply is a semantically analyzed reply that is output from the second external agent device, and
the third reply is a synthesized voice output from the third external agent device;

aggregate the first, second and third replies into an aggregated reply to the voice input; and
output the aggregated reply as a synthesized voice output to the remote device for relay to the user.
