Abstract

To provide more useful additional information to the user at a more effective timing. Provided is an information processing apparatus including an output control unit that controls an output of additional information related to a product purchased by a user. The output control unit controls an output of the additional information on the basis of delivery information about the product. In addition, provided is an information processing method that is executed by a processor, the information processing method including controlling an output of additional information related to a product purchased by a user. The controlling of an output includes controlling an output of the additional information on the basis of delivery information about the product.

Claims (38)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

an output controller that controls an output of additional information related to a product purchased by a user;

a speech processor that executes speech recognition to recognize the user on a basis of collected utterance information; and

the output controller causes the additional information to be output on a basis of the user being recognized by the speech processor, and on a basis of confirmation of completed delivery of the product purchased by the user or confirmation that the product to be purchased by the user has been shipped.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output controller causes the additional information to be output on a basis of the user recognized by the speech processor corresponding to an anticipated user of the product.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein

the output controller estimates the anticipated user on a basis of purchase history information about the product.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output controller controls an output of the additional information on a basis of purchase history information about the product.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the output controller estimates a state of the product on a basis of the purchase history information or the delivery information about the product, and causes the additional information to be output according to the state of the product.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein

the output controller controls an output priority of the additional information on a basis of a purchase count of the product.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the output controller sets a high output priority for the additional information about a product whose purchase count is less than a predetermined count.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein

the output controller sets a low output priority for the additional information about a product whose purchase count is equal to or greater than a predetermined count.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output controller controls an output of the additional information on a basis of context information.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output controller controls an output of the additional information on a basis of purchase origin information when the product has been purchased.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the additional information includes at least any of utilization information, advertising information, or campaign information related to the product.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the output controller causes the additional information to be output on a basis of a request for information by the user being recognized.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an outputter that outputs the additional information on a basis of control by the output controller.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sensor that collects sensor information related to the user or the product.

15. An information processing method that is executed by processing circuitry, the information processing method comprising:

controlling an output of additional information related to a product purchased by a user,

executing, by a speech processor, speech recognition to recognize the user on a basis of collected utterance information, and

causing the additional information to be output on a basis of the user being recognized by the speech processor, and on a basis of confirmation of completed delivery of the product purchased by the user or confirmation that the product to be purchased by the user has been shipped.

16. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions which when executed by processing circuitry cause the processing circuitry to perform an information processing method, the method comprising:

controlling an output of additional information related to a product purchased by a user,

executing speech recognition to recognize the user on a basis of collected utterance information, and

causing the additional information to be output on a basis of the user being recognized, and on a basis of confirmation of completed delivery of the product purchased by the user or confirmation that the product to be purchased by the user has been shipped.
