According to one embodiment, a voice interactive device configure to transmit a voice content to a plurality of voice interactive services through a network, wherein the plurality of voice interactive services are selected based at least in part on the voice content.

Claims (16)

1. A voice interactive device configured to transmit a voice content to a plurality of voice interactive services through a network, wherein the plurality of voice interactive services are selected based at least in part on the voice content, the voice interactive device comprising:

a keyword detector configured to detect from the voice content a first keyword or a second keyword different from the first keyword; and

a controller, wherein the controller transmits at least a first content after the first keyword of the voice content to a first voice interactive service of the voice interactive service when the keyword detector detects the first keyword,

the controller transmits at least a second content after the second keyword of the voice content to a second voice interactive service of the voice interactive service when the keyword detector detects the second keyword, and

the controller stops transmitting the second content following the second keyword, and resumes transmitting the second content to the second voice interactive service, in response to the key detector detecting the first keyword is followed by the second keyword in the voice content.

2. The voice interactive device of claim 1 , wherein,

the controller transmits the first keyword and the first content after the first keyword of the voice content to the first voice interactive service of the voice interactive service when the keyword detector detects the first keyword from the voice content, and

transmits the second keyword and the second content after the second keyword of the voice content to the second voice interactive service of the voice interactive service when the keyword detector detects the second keyword from the voice content.

3. The voice interactive device of claim 1 , wherein the controller is set whether the first voice interactive service and the second voice interactive service of the plurality of voice interactive services are used.

4. The voice interactive device of claim 1 , wherein, the controller continues to transmit the voice content to the first voice interactive service when the keyword detector detects the first keyword from the voice content and subsequently detects the second keyword in the first content after the first keyword.

5. The voice interactive device of claim 1 , further comprising a display configured to display a first indication when the keyword detector detects the first keyword from the voice content, and display a second indication different from the first indication when the keyword detector detects the second keyword from the voice content.

6. The voice interactive device of claim 1 , further comprising a third voice interactive service.

7. A control method for a voice interactive device configured to transmit a voice content to a plurality of voice interactive services through a network, wherein the plurality of voice interactive services are selected based at least in part on the voice content, the control method comprising:

transmitting at least a first content after a first keyword of the voice content to a first voice interactive service of the voice interactive service when the first keyword is detected from the voice content,

transmitting at least a second content after a second keyword of the voice content to a second voice interactive service of the voice interactive service when the second keyword is detected from the voice content, and

stopping transmitting the second content following the second keyword, and resuming transmitting the second content to the second voice interactive service, in response to detecting the first keyword is followed by the second keyword in the voice content.
