Abstract

A vehicle and a method of controlling the vehicle are provided. The method includes recognizing a user speech to acquire a voice command and searching for a shortcut instruction that corresponds to the voice command. Further, the method includes executing a plurality of control instructions based on a control process of the shortcut instruction.

Claims (37)

1. A method of controlling a vehicle, comprising:

recognizing, by a controller, a user speech to acquire a voice command;

searching, by the controller, for a shortcut instruction that corresponds to at least a part of the voice command;

executing, by the controller, a plurality of control instructions based on a control process of the shortcut instruction; and

determining, by the controller, an execution order of control processes of detected shortcut instructions when a plurality of the shortcut instructions are detected.

2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

executing, by the controller, the plurality of control instructions based on an execution order of the control process.

3. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the plurality of control instructions are performed simultaneously or sequentially based on the execution order of the control process.

4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, by the controller, control signals that correspond to the plurality of control instructions; and

transferring, by the controller, the control signals to respective components of the vehicle.

5. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

registering, by the controller, the voice command as a shortcut instruction when any shortcut instruction that corresponds to the voice command is not detected.

6. The method according to claim 5 , further comprising:

providing, by the controller, an interface for receiving the plurality of control instructions; and

generating, by the controller, the control process based on the plurality of input control instructions.

7. The method according to claim 6 , further comprising:

determining, by the controller, an execution order of the control process based on an input order of the plurality of control instructions.

8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of control instructions are configured to operate at least one selected from the group consisting of: a navigation function, a multimedia function, an air conditioning function, a seat function, a window function, and a phone connection function.

9. A vehicle, comprising:

a memory configured to store program instructions; and

a processor configured to execute the program instructions, the program instructions when executed configured to:

recognize a user speech to acquire a voice command;

search for a shortcut instruction that corresponds to at least a part of the voice command; and

execute a plurality of control instructions based on a control process of a detected shortcut instruction,

wherein, when a plurality of shortcut instructions are detected, the program instructions are configured to determine an execution order of the plurality of shortcut instructions.

10. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of control instructions are executed based on an execution order of the control process.

11. The vehicle according to claim 10 , wherein the plurality of control instructions are performed simultaneously or sequentially based on the execution order of the control process.

12. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to generate control signals that correspond to the plurality of control instructions and transfer the control signals to respective components of the vehicle.

13. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to register the voice command as a shortcut instruction when any shortcut instruction that corresponds to the voice command is not detected.

14. The vehicle according to claim 13 , further comprising:

a display configured to provide an interface for inputting the plurality of control instructions.

15. The vehicle according to claim 14 , wherein the interface includes a state display area for displaying information on a currently displayed screen.

16. The vehicle according to claim 14 , wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to generate the control process based on the plurality of control instructions input through the display.

17. The vehicle according to claim 16 , wherein the program instructions when executed are further configured to determine an execution order of the control process based on an order in which the plurality of control instructions are input.

18. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the plurality of control instructions are configured to operate at least one selected from the group consisting of: a navigation function, a multimedia function, an air conditioning function, a seat function, a window function, and a phone connection function.

19. The vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the memory includes a command database configured to store a plurality of shortcut instructions.
