         9 . The information processing device according to  claim 8 , further comprising:
 a second estimating unit configured to estimate the aspect of the user on the basis of at least one of the information related to the voice and the device information.   
     
     
         10 . The information processing device according to  claim 8 ,
 wherein the device information includes operation function information indicating an operation function of the device, and   the selecting unit selects a device from the plurality of devices on the basis of a second correspondence relation between the aspect of the user and priority information of the operation function.   
     
     
         11 . The information processing device according to  claim 10 , further comprising:
 a storage unit configured to store second correspondence relation information indicating the second correspondence relation,   wherein the second correspondence relation information is set by the user.   
     
     
         12 . The information processing device according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein, in a case in which a plurality of devices are selected, the operation instructing unit instructs each of the selected devices to perform an operation associated with each of the selected devices.   
     
     
         13 . The information processing device according to  claim 12 ,
 wherein the operation instructing unit specifies instruction content for the selected device on the basis of a third correspondence relation between a combination of the selected devices and the associated operation.   
     
     
         14 . The information processing device according to  claim 2 ,
 wherein, in a case in which a plurality of devices are selected, the selecting unit narrows down the selected devices on the basis of an input from the user.   
     
     
         15 . The information processing device according to  claim 14 ,
 wherein the input from the user includes selection of a device from the plurality of devices selected through the selecting unit by the user.   
     
     
         16 . The information processing device according to  claim 14 ,
