Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a processor configured to receive an instruction to execute a service by utterance, and perform control to present execution information regardless of whether or not a setting for presenting the execution information is performed, the execution information being information indicating an execution result of the received service.

Claims (42)

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to:

receive an instruction to execute a service by utterance; and

perform a control to present execution information in a case where a number of different types of settings required for the received service is equal to or more than a predetermined number regardless of whether or not a setting for presenting the execution information is performed, the execution information being information indicating an execution result of the received service, and

execute the service without performing the control to present the execution information in a case where the number of different types of settings required for the received service is less than the predetermined number and no predetermined condition has been satisfied.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the case where the number of different types of settings required for the received service is less than the predetermined number, the processor is also configured to perform the control to present the execution information in a case where at least one of a predetermined condition is satisfied.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that the instruction to execute the service is performed from a position separated by a predetermined distance or more.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that an apparatus as an execution target of the received service cannot be specified.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that a content of the received service includes a predetermined expression.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that a degree of influence of the execution result is larger than a predetermined degree.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that a volume of the utterance is equal to or less than a predetermined level.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the predetermined condition is a condition that a volume of noise generated in parallel with the received utterance is equal to or more than a predetermined level.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to further receive an instruction by a speaker, who has given the instruction, according to the presentation of the execution information.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the processor is configured to further receive an instruction by a speaker who has given the instruction, according to the presentation of the execution information.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the processor is configured to further receive an instruction by a speaker who has given the instruction, according to the presentation of the execution information.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the processor is configured to further receive an instruction by a speaker who has given the instruction, according to the presentation of the execution information.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 ,

wherein the processor is configured to further receive an instruction by a speaker who has given the instruction, according to the presentation of the execution information.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 5 ,

wherein the processor is configured to further receive an instruction by a speaker who has given the instruction, according to the presentation of the execution information.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 ,

wherein the processor is configured to perform control to execute a service according to the further received instruction.

16. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is configured to perform control to cause a control target apparatus, which is configured separately from the information processing apparatus, to execute the received service.

17. The information processing apparatus according to claim 16 ,

wherein the information processing apparatus is a smart speaker.

18. The information processing apparatus according to claim 16 ,

wherein the control target apparatus is an image forming apparatus.

19. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program for causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving an instruction to execute a service by utterance; and

performing a control to present execution information in a case where a number of different types of settings required for the received service is equal to or more than a predetermined number regardless of whether or not a setting for presenting the execution information is performed, the execution information being information indicating an execution result of the received service, and

execute the service without performing the control to present the execution information in a case where the number of different types of settings required for the received service is less than the predetermined number and no predetermined condition has been satisfied.
