Interfacing device and method for supporting speech dialogue service

1. An interfacing method for supporting a speech dialogue service, the interfacing method comprising:

executing an interface for the speech dialogue service;

receiving a user input, through the executed interface, including a voice input and a non-voice input, the non-voice input being an image input;

transmitting, as a request signal to a server, at least one of the voice input or a text extracted from the voice input when the received user input is the voice input;

transmitting, as the request signal to the server, a text extracted from the non-voice input when the received user input is the non-voice input;

receiving a result of dialogue recognition in response to the request signal from the server; and

executing a response to the received user input on the basis of the received result of dialogue recognition.

2. The interfacing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

setting an input mode of the interface based on a user control,

wherein the setting the input mode comprises at least one of:

selecting a menu of the input mode displayed on a screen in response to a input; or

executing an application related to the input mode in response to a voice command.

3. The interfacing method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

recognizing text of metadata contained in the image input; and

selecting a specific part among the recognized text through a filtering process.

4. The interfacing method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

recognizing text from the image input through an optical character recognition process; and

selecting a specific part among the recognized text through a filtering process.

5. The interfacing method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, from the server, a request for checking whether to apply an associated content provider determined by the server; and

checking whether to apply the associated content provider determined by the server, and transmitting a result of the checking to the server.

6. The interfacing method of claim 5 , wherein the executing of the response to the received user input comprises executing the associated content provider when applicability of the associated content provider is accepted.

7. An interfacing device for supporting a speech dialogue service, the interfacing device comprising:

an input unit configured to receive a user input including a voice input and a non-voice input, the non-voice input being an image input;

a communication unit configured to communicate with a server;

a control unit configured to:

execute an interface for the speech dialogue service, to receive the user input through the executed interface,

transmit, as a request signal to the server, at least one of the voice input or a text extracted from the voice input when the received user input is the voice input,

transmit, as the request signal to the server, a text extracted from the non-voice input when the received user input is the non-voice input,

receive a result of dialogue recognition in response to the request signal from the server, and

execute a response to the received user input on the basis of the received result of dialogue recognition; and

an output unit configured to output a result of executing the response to the received user input.

8. The interfacing device of claim 7 , wherein the control unit is further configured to set an input mode of the interface based on a user control, by performing at least one of selecting a menu of the input mode displayed on a screen in response to a input or executing an application related to the input mode in response to a voice command.

9. The interfacing device of claim 7 , wherein the control unit is further configured to:

recognize text of metadata contained in the image input, and

select a specific part among the recognized text through a filtering process.

10. The interfacing device of claim 7 , wherein the control unit is further configured to:

recognize text from the image input through an optical character recognition process, and

select a specific part among the recognized text through a filtering process.

11. The interfacing device of claim 7 , wherein the control unit is further configured to:

receive, from the server, a request for checking whether to apply an associated content provider determined by the server, and

check whether to apply the associated content provider determined by the server, and to transmit a result of the checking to the server.

12. The interfacing device of claim 11 , wherein the control unit is further configured to execute the associated content provider when applicability of the associated content provider is accepted.

13. At least one non-transitory processor readable medium for storing a computer program of instructions configured to be readable by at least one processor for instructing the at least one processor to execute a computer process for performing the method as recited in claim 1 .
