Abstract

One of prepared types of agent characteristics types is set to an agent, and parameters used in agent operation are set for values associated with the set agent characteristic type, thereby causing the agent to operate according to the agent characteristic type. An agent script base contains a plurality of operation descriptions. In response to a command from the user, parameters used in the execution of the command are set for the above values. The parameters are preferably kept in a table. Then, one of the operation descriptions associated with the command is executed referring to the table. Setting a user's characteristic type causes the set agent characteristic type to be changed to one associated with the user's characteristic type.
