Digital assistant human-machine interaction device
A digital assistant device comprises an input component configured to acquire information from a plurality of users in a predetermined area around the digital assistant device and to output signals indicative of the acquired information, a processing component configured to receive the signals output by the input component and to generate individual user output information for several or each of the users, and an output component configured to output the generated output information uniquely assigned to a particular user in a user-characteristic way.
1. A digital assistant device, comprising:
an input component configured to acquire information from a plurality of users in a predetermined area around the digital assistant device and to output signals indicative of the acquired information,
a processing component configured to receive the signals output by the input component and to generate individual user output information for several or each of the users, and
output component configured to output the generated output information uniquely assigned to a particular user in a user-characteristic way,
wherein the output component includes a display, wherein the display includes a curved display portion, wherein the display includes a touch-sensitive portion at an end portion of the curved display portion, and wherein in a retracted state of the display, the touch-sensitive portion at the end portion of the curved display portion is accessible from the outside of the housing.
2. The digital assistant device of claim 1 , wherein the processing component is configured to determine the position of a user or the positions of several users or the position of each user relative to the digital assistant device from the signals output by the input component.
3. The digital assistant device of claim 1 , wherein the curved display portion has a cylindrical or conical shape.
4. The digital assistant device of claim 1 , wherein the display is configured to display the output information uniquely assigned to a particular user in a portion of the display uniquely assigned to the particular user.
