Abstract

An electronic apparatus, method, and computer readable medium are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a communicator, and a controller. The controller, based on a first voice input being received, controls the communicator to receive data including first response information corresponding to the first voice input from a server, and outputs the first response information on a display, and based on a second voice input being received, controls the communicator to receive data including second response information corresponding to the second voice input from the server, and outputs the second response information on the display. Based on whether the second voice input is received within a predetermined time from a time corresponding to the output of the first response information, whether a use of utterance history information is identified, and the second response information is displayed differently based on whether the second voice input is received within the predetermined time.

Claims (49)

1 . A display apparatus comprising:

a voice input receiver;

a display;

a communicator configured to communicate with a server; and

one or more processors configured to:

receive a first user voice input through the voice input receiver while a content is displayed on the display,

based on the received first user voice input including a first uttered element and a second uttered element, receive first data corresponding to a combination of the first uttered element and the second uttered element from the server through the communicator and control the display to display first information corresponding to the received first data,

and

based on the received first user voice input including a first uttered element without a second uttered element, control the display to display second information based on the first user voice input and voice history information,

wherein the voice history information includes information generated based on a second user voice input received during a predetermined time prior to the first user voice input,

wherein the first uttered element corresponds to an execution object, and the second uttered element corresponds to an execution command.

2 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the execution object is an uttered element corresponding to an object indicated by the first user voice input, and wherein the execution command is an uttered element corresponding to an operation indicated by the first user voice input to be performed on the object.

3 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, based on whether or not the second uttered element corresponding to the execution command is included in the first user voice input, the displayed response information corresponding to the first user voice input is different.

4 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, based on the first user voice input corresponding to controlling a function of the display apparatus and including an execution object and a execution command, the one or more processors is further configured to:

receive a command corresponding to the controlling the function of the display apparatus from the server through the communicator, and

control the function of the display apparatus corresponding to the received command.

5 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the first user voice input is received within the predetermined time from when the second user voice input is received.

6 . The display apparatus of claim 1 ,

wherein, based on non-inclusion of the second uttered element corresponds to the execution command, the execution command is obtained based on the voice history information, and

wherein the one or more processors is further configured to control the display to display the response information based on a combination of the first uttered element and the obtained the command.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the one or more processors is further configured to:

receive the first data corresponding to the combination of the first uttered element and the obtained the execution command from the server through the communicator, and

control the display to display the response information corresponding to the received first data.

8 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein, based on the first user voice input, including the execution object and the execution command, corresponding to searching a content, the one or more processors is further configured to:

receive second data corresponding to the content from the server through the communicator, and

control the display to display a content list corresponding to the received second data.

9 . The display apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the execution object included in the first user voice input corresponds to a content title to be searched.

10 . A method of controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a first user voice input while a content is displayed;

based on the received first user voice input including a first uttered element and a second uttered element, receiving first data corresponding to a combination of the first uttered element and the second uttered element from the server and displaying first information corresponding to the received first data; and

based on the received first user voice input including a first uttered element without a second uttered element, displaying second information based on the first user voice input and voice history information,

wherein the voice history information includes information generated based on second user voice input received during a predetermined time prior to the first user voice input,

wherein the first uttered element corresponds to an execution object, and the second uttered element corresponds to an execution command.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the execution object is an uttered element corresponding to an object indicated by the first user voice input, and the execution command is an uttered element corresponding to an operation indicated by the first user voice input to be performed on the object.

12 . The method of claim 10 , wherein, based on whether or not the second uttered element corresponding to the execution command is included in the first user voice input, the displayed response information corresponding to the first user voice input is different.

13 . The method of claim 10 , wherein, based on the first user voice input corresponding to controlling a function of the display apparatus and including an execution object and a execution command, the method comprising:

receiving a command corresponding to the controlling the function of the display apparatus from the server through the communicator, and

controlling the function of the display apparatus corresponding to the received command.

14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the first user voice input is received within the predetermined time from when the second user voice input is received.

15 . The method of claim 10 ,

wherein, based on non-inclusion of the second uttered element corresponds to the execution command, the execution command is obtained based on the voice history information, and

wherein the displaying second information comprises displaying the response information based on a combination of the first uttered element and the obtained the command.

16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising:

receiving the first data corresponding to the combination of the first uttered element and the obtained the execution command from the server, and

displaying the response information corresponding to the received first data.

17 . The method of claim 10 , wherein, based on the first user voice input, including the execution object and the execution command, corresponding to searching a content, the method comprising:

receiving second data corresponding to the content from the server through the communicator, and

displaying a content list corresponding to the received second data.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the execution object included in the first user voice input corresponds to a content title to be searched.
