wherein the detection unit includes a biological sensor and detects at least any one of a skin potential, a heart rate, and volume pulse waves of peripheral blood vessels of the user.

6 . The conversation system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the detection unit includes a biological sensor and detects at least any one of a skin potential, a heart rate, and volume pulse waves of peripheral blood vessels of the user.

7 . The conversation system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the detection unit includes a camera and detects at least any one of a facial expression, positional information of a part of a face, the number of blinks, a body temperature, a body action and a posture of the user.

8 . The conversation system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the detection unit includes a camera and detects at least any one of a facial expression, positional information of a part of a face, the number of blinks, a body temperature, a body action, and a posture of the user.

9 . The conversation system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the detection unit includes a camera and detects at least any one of a facial expression, positional information of a part of a face, the number of blinks, a body temperature, a body action, and a posture of the user.

10 . The conversation system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the detection unit includes a camera and detects at least any one of a facial expression, positional information of a part of a face, the number of blinks, a body temperature, a body action, and a posture of the user.

11 . The conversation system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the detection unit includes a camera and detects at least any one of a facial expression, positional information of a part of a face, the number of blinks, a body temperature, a body action, and a posture of the user.

12 . The conversation system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires the personality information of the user from results of a questionnaire or a personality diagnosis test.

13 . The conversation system according to claim 2 ,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires the personality information of the user from results of a questionnaire or a personality diagnosis test.

14 . The conversation system according to claim 3 ,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires the personality information of the user from results of a questionnaire or a personality diagnosis test.

15 . The conversation system according to claim 4 ,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires the personality information of the user from results of a questionnaire or a personality diagnosis test.

16 . The conversation system according to claim 5 ,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires the personality information of the user from results of a questionnaire or a personality diagnosis test.

17 . The conversation system according to claim 6 ,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires the personality information of the user from results of a questionnaire or a personality diagnosis test.

18 . The conversation system according to claim 7 ,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires the personality information of the user from results of a questionnaire or a personality diagnosis test.

19 . The conversation system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the acquisition unit acquires a diplomatic-introvert scale, a neurotic scale, and a psychotic tendency scale as the personality information of the user.

20 . The conversation system according to claim 1 , further comprising:
