Abstract

A voice recognition system includes a server storing a plurality of manuals and a display apparatus transmitting, when a spoken voice of a user is recognized, characteristic information and a spoken voice signal corresponding to the spoken voice to the server, the characteristic information is characteristic information of the display apparatus, the server transmits a response signal to the spoken voice signal to the display apparatus based on a manual corresponding to the characteristic information among the plurality of manuals, and the display apparatus processes an operation corresponding to the received response signal; as a result, user convenience increases.

Claims (32)

1. A server, comprising:

a storage, and

at least one processor configured to:

receive a user voice input being received by a display apparatus and characteristic information of the display apparatus,

provide a response signal to the user voice input based on a manual corresponding to the characteristic information of the display apparatus among a plurality of manuals stored in the storage, and

transmit the response signal to the display apparatus,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

based on the user voice input corresponding to a diagnosis signal requesting diagnosis of the display apparatus, diagnose the display apparatus based on the manual and transmit a result of the diagnosis to the display apparatus, and

based on the display apparatus being diagnosed as having an error state which can be autonomously solved, transmit a guide information to guide a user to obtain a solution for the error state, to the display apparatus,

wherein the guide information is variable according to state information of the display apparatus at a time when the user voice input is received, and

wherein, based on a state of the display apparatus being a state in which a function related to the user voice input is performed without an operational problem in the display apparatus, the guide information is generated based on the state information related to the state of the display apparatus.

2. The server as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to transmit, based on the user voice input being identified as a signal for a function of the display apparatus, the response signal including a guide message for guiding a method for executing the function on the display apparatus according to the manual corresponding to the display apparatus.

3. The server as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is configured to transmit, based on the display apparatus being diagnosed as having an error state which is not autonomously solved, the diagnosis result and the characteristic information of the display apparatus to a service center.

4. The server as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the characteristic information of the display apparatus includes at least one of panel information, type information of the display apparatus, user region information, and use time information.

5. A display apparatus, comprising:

a display;

a receiver configured to receive a user voice input;

a communicator configured to communicate with a server; and

a processor configured to:

based on a first user voice input corresponding to controlling a function of the display apparatus, receive data corresponding to a controlling operation of the display apparatus from the server through the communicator and perform an operation of the display apparatus according to the received data corresponding to the first user voice input, and

based on a second user voice input corresponding to an operational state of the display apparatus, control the display to display a guide information generated by the second user voice input and state information of the display apparatus,

wherein the guide information is variable according to the state information of the display apparatus at a time when the second user voice input is received, and

wherein, based on a state of the display apparatus being a state in which a function related to the second user voice input is performed without an operational problem in the display apparatus, the guide information is generated based on the state information related to the state of the display apparatus.

6. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the state information of the display apparatus includes at least one of volume information and channel information of the display apparatus.

7. A control method of a display apparatus, the control method comprising:

receiving a first user voice input;

based on the first user voice input corresponding to controlling a function of the display apparatus, receiving data corresponding to a controlling operation of the display apparatus from a server and performing an operation of the display apparatus according to the received data corresponding to the first user voice input,

based on a second user voice input corresponding to an operational state of the display apparatus, displaying a guide information generated by the second user voice input and state information of the display apparatus,

wherein the guide information is variable according to the state information of the display apparatus at a time when the second user voice input is received, and

wherein, based on a state of the display apparatus being a state in which a function related to the second user voice input is performed without an operational problem in the display apparatus, the guide information is generated based on the state information related to the state of the display apparatus.

8. The control method as claimed in claim 7 , wherein

the state information of the display apparatus includes at least one of volume information and channel information of the display apparatus.
