Provided is a device, a method that allow a remote terminal to perform a process on the basis of a local-terminal-side user utterance. There are a local terminal and a remote terminal. The local terminal performs a process of a semantic analysis of a user utterance input into the local terminal. On the basis of a result of the semantic analysis, the local terminal determines whether or not the user utterance is a request to the remote terminal for a process. Moreover, in a case where the user utterance is a request to the remote terminal for a process, the local terminal transmits the result of the semantic analysis by a semantic-analysis part to the remote terminal. The remote terminal receives the result of the semantic analysis of the local-terminal-side user utterance, and performs a process based on the received result of the semantic analysis of the local-terminal-side user utterance.
