Abstract

Provided are an image display apparatus and an image display method. The image display apparatus includes a display configured to display a use guide comprising help information, and a controller configured to extract a keyword from a sentence spoken by a user, assign the keyword to a help category, and generate the help information based on the help category and the keyword.

Claims

1. An image display apparatus comprising:

a display;

a storage configured to store a keyword spoken by a user; and

a controller configured to;

analyze a sentence spoken by the user;

extract a keyword from the analyzed sentence and determine a command category by which the extracted keyword is classified based on a command word comprised in the analyzed sentence;

store the extracted keyword according to the determined command category in the storage; and

in response to receiving a user input requesting a help sentence, generate one or more help sentence including the stored keyword and one of a plurality of command words included in the determined command category corresponding to the stored keyword; and

control the display to display the generated one or more help sentence.

2. The image display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the command category is set based on a type of an operation performed in response to the sentence spoken by the user.

3. The image display apparatus of claim 2, wherein the operation comprises at least one of searching, executing an application, and changing a channel.

4. The image display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to extract the keyword from the sentence spoken by the user when content of the sentence spoken by the user is successfully processed.

5. The image display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to store a predetermined number of recently spoken keywords.

6. The image display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to generate the help sentence by combining a keyword randomly selected from among stored keywords and one of a plurality of commands included in a command category which is related to the selected keyword.

7. The image display apparatus of claim 1, wherein the controller is further configured to control the display such that the display displays all of the generated help sentence, according to a user input.

8. An operating method of an image display apparatus, the method comprising:

analyzing a sentence spoken by a user;

extracting a keyword from the analyzed sentence and determining a command category by which the extracted keyword is classified based on a command word comprised in the analyzed sentence;

storing the extracted keyword according to the determined command category in a storage; and

in response to receiving a user input few requesting a help sentence, generating one or more help sentence including the stored keyword and one of a plurality of command words included in the determined command category corresponding to the stored keyword; and

displaying the generated one or more help sentence.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the command category is set based on a type of an operation performed in response to the sentence spoken by the user.

10. The method of claim 9, wherein the operation comprises at least one of searching, executing an application, and changing a channel.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the extracting of the keyword comprises

extracting the keyword from the sentence spoken by the user when content of the sentence spoken by the user is successfully processed.

12. The method of claim 8, further comprising storing the extracted keyword, wherein the storing of the extracted keyword comprises storing a predetermined number of recently spoken keywords.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the generating of the one or more help sentence comprises:

generating the help sentence by combining a keyword randomly selected from among stored keywords and one of a plurality of commands included in a command category which is related to the selected keyword.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the displaying of the help sentence comprises:

displaying all of the generated help sentence, according to a user input.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having embodied thereon a computer program for executing the method of claim 8.
