Abstract

A display apparatus includes an input unit configured to receive a user command; an output unit configured to output a registration suitability determination result for the user command; and a processor configured to generate phonetic symbols for the user command, analyze the generated phonetic symbols to determine registration suitability for the user command, and control the output unit to output the registration suitability determination result for the user command. Therefore, the display apparatus may register a user command which is resistant to misrecognition and guarantees high recognition rate among user commands defined by a user.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a control command receiver;

a voice command receiver;

an outputter; and

a processor configured to;

based on receiving a control command requesting a registration of a user command word through the control command receiver, perform a voice recognition mode,

based on a received voice being a pre-registered user command word, control the outputter to output information corresponding to not registering the user command word, and

based on the received voice not being the pre-registered user command word, register the received voice as another user command word.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the processor is further configured to, based on the received voice not being the pre-registered user command word, control the outputter of the electronic apparatus to output information corresponding to registering the received voice.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the outputter is configured to include a display and a speaker,

wherein the information is output as at least one of a UI displayed on the display and an audio signal output through the speaker.

4. A controlling method of an electronic apparatus comprising:

performing, by at least one processor of the electronic apparatus, operations including;

based on receiving a control command requesting a registration of a user command word through a control command receiver of the electronic apparatus, performing a voice recognition mode;

based on a received voice being a pre-registered user command word, controlling an outputter of the electronic apparatus to output information corresponding to not registering the user command word; and

based on the received voice not being the pre-registered user command word, registering the received voice as another user command word.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to, based on the received voice not being the pre-registered user command word, controlling the outputter of the electronic apparatus to output information corresponding to registering the received voice.

6. The method of claim 4, wherein the information is output as at least one of a UI and an audio signal.
