Abstract
An agent interface device provides information suited for user preferences on the basis of a usage history. In an example implementation, the agent interface device controls the display and action of the agent. A user preference database stores user preferences. An information providing engine provides information to the user according to information in the preference database, and a timer sets a time for the information providing engine to provide information to the user.
