Abstract

An example electronic apparatus for providing voice recognition control includes a display; and a processor, wherein the processor may be configured to obtain a content including at least one object; distinguish the at least one object within the content; display an instruction text in correspondence with a non-text object among the at least one object; and select the non-text object corresponding to the instruction text if a voice command corresponding to the instruction text is inputted.

Claims (34)

1. An electronic device comprising:

a display;

a communication circuitry;

a microphone; and

a processor, wherein the processor is configured to:

obtain, by using the communication circuitry, content comprising information associated with a plurality of objects,

control the display to display a first screen including the plurality of objects,

while displaying the first screen, identify a first audio signal acquired by using the microphone,

based on identifying that a plurality of first objects among the plurality of objects are associated with a recognition result of the first audio signal, control the display to display a second screen including the plurality of first objects and a plurality of indices for selecting the displayed plurality of first objects respectively, wherein the plurality of indices are different from each other, and each of the plurality of indices are disposed on a position associated with a position of each of the plurality of first objects in the second screen,

while displaying the second screen, identify a second audio signal acquired by using the microphone, and

based on identifying that a first index among the plurality of indices are associated with a recognition result of the second audio signal, select a second object corresponding to the identified first index among the plurality of first objects.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

after displaying the second screen, identify a second audio signal acquired using the microphone, and

identify an object among the plurality of first objects based on a recognition result of the second audio signal.

3. The electronic device of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

perform an operation associated with the identified object.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of objects comprises at least one of a content title, an image title, a text icon, an image icon, a text content, an image content, a link content, or an input area.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of indices are displayed in tooltip format in the second screen.

6. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the content is based on at least one of a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), an Extensible Markup Language (XML), or a GUI toolkit.

7. An operating method of an electronic device, the method comprising:

obtaining, by using a communication circuitry of the electronic device, content comprising information associated with a plurality of objects;

controlling a display of the electronic device to display a first screen including the plurality of objects;

while displaying the first screen, identifying a first audio signal acquired by using a microphone of the electronic device;

based on identifying that a plurality of first objects among the plurality of objects are associated with a recognition result of the first audio signal, controlling the display to display a second screen including the plurality of first objects and a plurality of indices for selecting the displayed plurality of first objects respectively, wherein the plurality of indices are different from each other, and each of the plurality of indices are disposed on a position associated with a position of each of the plurality of first objects in the second screen;

while displaying the second screen, identifying a second audio signal acquired by using the microphone; and

based on identifying that a first index among the plurality of indices are associated with a recognition result of the second audio signal, selecting a second object corresponding to the identified first index among the plurality of first objects.

8. The operating method of claim 7 , further comprising:

after displaying the second screen, identifying a second audio signal acquired using the microphone, and

identifying an object among the plurality of first objects based on a recognition result of the second audio signal.

9. The operating method of claim 7 , further comprising:

performing an operation associated with the identified object.

10. The operating method of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of objects comprises at least one of a content title, an image title, a text icon, an image icon, a text content, an image content, a link content, or an input area.

11. The operating method of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of indices are displayed in tooltip format in the second screen.

12. The operating method of claim 7 , wherein the content is based on at least one of a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), an Extensible Markup Language (XML), or a GUI toolkit.
