An information processing device according to the present invention is
included in an information processing apparatus and outputs guidance
information for an operation performed for the information processing
apparatus by a user. In the information processing device, a user
information acquisition unit identifies a user who is operating the
information processing device, and an input control unit identifies the
type of operation performed by the user. The information processing
device also includes an operation history database for storing operation
history information unique to the user and a voice guidance database for
storing at least one piece of guidance information on the operation. A
guidance selection unit selects appropriate guidance information on the
basis of the operation history information on the operation unique to the
user, and a voice output unit outputs the selected guidance information.
