Abstract

An Audio Video Navigation (AVN) apparatus includes: a sound receiver configured to receive a speech from a user; a display unit configured to display a speech recognition screen in a speech recognition mode; and a controller configured to control, if the speech recognition mode is finished at a stage, the display unit to display a manipulation guide screen corresponding to the speech recognition screen displayed at the stage.

Claims

1. An Audio Video Navigation (AVN) apparatus, comprising:

a microphone receiving a speech from a user;

a display displaying a speech recognition screen in a speech recognition mode; and

a controller controlling the display to display a manipulation guide screen corresponding to the speech recognition screen displayed at a stage when the controller determines that the speech recognition mode is finished at the stage when a command included in the speech is identical to none of the commands stored in a storage,

wherein the command included in the speech corresponds to the speech recognition screen.

2. The AVN apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display displays at least one screen among a destination search screen, a search result screen, a map/address confirmation screen, and a route selection screen, as the manipulation guide screen.

3. The AVN apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the controller operates the speech recognition mode according to a user'"'"'s input.

4. The AVN apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a sound unit configured to inform the user of a speech-receivable state.

5. The AVN apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the controller finishes the speech recognition mode, if the microphone receives the speech before the sound unit informs the user of the speech-receivable state.

6. The AVN apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a communication unit connected to a mobile terminal through a network.

7. The AVN apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the controller finishes the speech recognition mode, if the communication unit receives a call signal.

8. The AVN apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a communication unit connected to a camera module through a network,

wherein the controller finishes the speech recognition mode, if the camera module is driven.

9. The AVN apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a storage in which a plurality of commands are stored,

wherein the display displays a first speech recognition screen, displays a second speech recognition screen according to a destination search command from a user, displays a third speech recognition screen according to a map/address confirmation command stored in the storage, and displays a fourth speech recognition screen according to a route selection command stored in the storage.

10. The AVN apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the map/address confirmation command includes a command for selecting a destination candidate from among a plurality of destination candidates displayed on the second speech recognition screen.

11. The AVN apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the route selection command includes a command for selecting a map and an address displayed on the third speech recognition screen.

12. The AVN apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the display is a touch screen device, and the manipulation includes a touch input.

13. A vehicle comprising:

a microphone receiving a speech from a user;

a display displaying a speech recognition screen in a speech recognition mode; and

a controller controlling the display to display a manipulation guide screen corresponding to a speech recognition screen displayed at a stage when the controller determined the speech recognition mode is finished at the stage when a command included in the speech is identical to none of the commands stored in a storage,

wherein the command included in the speech corresponds to the speech recognition screen.

14. A control method of an Audio Video Navigation (AVN) apparatus, comprising:

displaying, by a display, a speech recognition screen according to a speech from a user in a speech recognition mode; and

displaying, by the display, a manipulation guide screen corresponding to the speech recognition screen displayed at a stage when a controller determines that the speech recognition mode is finished at the stage when a command included in the speech is identical to none of the commands stored in a storage,

wherein the command included in the speech corresponds to the speech recognition screen.

15. The control method according to claim 14, wherein the AVN apparatus further comprises a sound unit configured to inform the user of a speech-receivable state,

further comprising finishing the speech recognition mode, if the speech is received before the sound unit informs the user of the speech-receivable state, before displaying the manipulation guide screen.

16. The control method according to claim 14, further comprising finishing the speech recognition mode, if a call signal is received, before displaying the manipulation guide screen.

17. The control method according to claim 14, wherein the AVN apparatus connects to a camera module through a network,

further comprising finishing the speech recognition mode, if the camera module is driven, before displaying the manipulation guide screen.
