Abstract

An Audio Video Navigation (AVN) device includes a voice receiver for receiving a command from a user in a voice recognition mode; a storage for storing Help; and a controller for providing the Help for the user if the number of times a same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold in the voice recognition mode.

Claims (38)

1. A system comprising a portable terminal configured to make or receive a phone call and an Audio Video Navigation (AVN) device configured to be implemented in a vehicle, wherein the AVN device comprises:

a voice receiver for receiving a command from a user in a voice recognition mode;

a storage for storing Help application;

a communication unit for accessing the portable terminal over a network; and

a controller for providing the Help application for the user if a number of times a same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold in the voice recognition mode,

wherein the controller is configured to check whether synchronization between the AVN device and the portable terminal has been performed within a predetermined period of time, if the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold, and

wherein the controller is configured to provide the Help application if a number of times a same command has been received is equal to or greater than the threshold.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the AVN device further comprises a display unit for outputting a predetermined screen before the command is received.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the controller is configured to provide the Help application if a number of times the predetermined screen has been output is equal to or greater than the threshold.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the display unit outputs the Help application for the user, if the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold.

5. The system of claim 4 , wherein the display unit outputs a manipulation prompting screen to prompt the user's manipulation after outputting the Help application.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the AVN device further comprises a sound unit for outputting a predetermined acoustic sound before the command is received.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to provide the Help application if a number of times the predetermined acoustic sound has been output is equal to or greater than the threshold.

8. The system of claim 6 , wherein the sound unit outputs the Help application for the user, if the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the AVN device further comprises a display unit for outputting a manipulation prompting screen to prompt the user's manipulation after the sound unit outputs the Help application.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine whether the AVN device is normally connected to the network, if the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to provide Help application informing the user that synchronization is required, if the synchronization has not been performed.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to enter another mode, if the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold.

13. A system comprising a portable terminal configured to make or receive a phone call and a vehicle in which an Audio Video Navigation (AVN) device is implemented, wherein the vehicle comprises:

a voice receiver for receiving a command from a user in a voice recognition mode;

a storage for storing Help application;

a communication unit for accessing the portable terminal over a network; and

a controller for providing the Help application for the user if a number of times a same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold in the voice recognition mode,

wherein the controller is configured to check whether synchronization between the vehicle and the portable terminal has been performed within a predetermined period of time, if the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold, and

wherein the controller is configured to provide the Help application if a number of times a same command has been received is equal to or greater than the threshold.

14. A method for controlling an Audio Video Navigation (AVN) device configured to be implemented in a vehicle, the method comprising:

receiving, by a voice receiver, a command from a user in a voice recognition mode;

determining, by a controller, whether a number of times a same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than a threshold in the voice recognition mode; and

providing, by the controller, Help application for the user, whether the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold,

wherein the determining by the controller comprises:

checking whether synchronization between the vehicle and a portable terminal configured to make or receive a phone call has been performed within a predetermined period of time, if the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold, and

wherein the controller is configured to provide the Help application if a number of times a same command has been received is equal to or greater than the threshold.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the determining whether the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold in the voice recognition mode comprises determining whether a number of times a same command has been received is equal to or greater than the threshold.

16. The method of claim 14 , further comprising outputting, by a display unit, a predetermined screen before receiving the command,

wherein the determining whether the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold in the voice recognition mode comprises determining whether the number of times the predetermined screen has been output is equal to or greater than the threshold.

17. The method of claim 14 , further comprising outputting, by a sound unit, a predetermined acoustic sound before receiving the command,

wherein the determining whether the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold in the voice recognition mode comprises determining whether the number of times the predetermined acoustic sound has been output is equal to or greater than the threshold.

18. The method of claim 14 , wherein the determining whether the number of times the same pattern has occurred is equal to or greater than the threshold in the voice recognition mode comprises determining whether the AVN device is normally connected to a network.
