Abstract

An electronic apparatus and a control method thereof are provided. In response to receiving a voice start command by the electronic apparatus, the control method of the electronic apparatus changes mode of the electronic apparatus to a voice task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled in accordance with user'"'"'s voice, displays voice guide information including a plurality of voice commands for commanding the electronic apparatus to perform tasks in the voice task mode on the electronic apparatus, and changes at least one voice command from among the plurality of voice commands with a different voice command. Accordingly, the user is able to control the electronic apparatus more conveniently and efficiently.

Claims

1. A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, comprising:

receiving, by the electronic apparatus, a voice start command;

in response to the receiving the voice start command changing a mode of the electronic apparatus to a voice task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled in accordance with a user'"'"'s voice, and displaying voice guide information including a plurality of voice commands for commanding the electronic apparatus to perform tasks in the voice task mode; and

changing at least one voice command from among the plurality of voice commands with a different voice command in accordance with a user'"'"'s input.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the voice guide information comprises a fixed command area in which the voice commands are fixed and unchangeable, and a changeable command area in which the voice commands are subject to change.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the fixed command area includes a voice command to perform a power-off function of the electronic apparatus.

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

receiving a command directing the electronic apparatus to execute an application and executing the application; and

changing at least one voice command from among the plurality of voice commands with a voice command corresponding to the executed application in response to the command directing to the electronic apparatus to execute the application.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the changing comprises:

receiving a command directing the electronic apparatus to display a favorite voice command; and

changing at least one voice command from among the plurality of voice commands with the favorite voice command in response to receiving the command directing the electronic apparatus to display the user'"'"'s favorite voice command.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the changed at least one voice command includes a voice command to return to the voice guide information displayed prior to the changing the at least one voice command.

7. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a voice input device which receives a voice input;

a display; and

a controller which changes a mode of the electronic apparatus to a voice task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled by the voice input, displays voice guide information including a plurality of voice commands for commanding the electronic apparatus to perform tasks in the voice task mode, and changes at least one voice command from among the plurality of voice commands with a different voice command in accordance with a user'"'"'s input.

8. The electronic apparatus of claim 7, wherein the voice guide information comprises a fixed command area in which the voice commands are fixed and unchangeable, and a changeable command area in which the voice commands are subject to change.

9. The electronic apparatus of claim 8, wherein the fixed command area includes a voice command to perform a power-off function of the electronic apparatus.

10. The electronic apparatus of claim 7, wherein, in response to a user'"'"'s command directing the electronic apparatus to execute an application, the controller executes the application, and changes at least one voice command from among the plurality of voice commands with a voice command corresponding to the executed application.

11. The electronic apparatus of claim 7, wherein, if a command directing the electronic apparatus to display a favorite voice command is received, the controller changes at least one voice command from among the plurality of voice commands with the favorite voice command.

12. The electronic apparatus of claim 7, wherein the changed at least one voice command includes a voice command to return to the voice guide information displayed prior to the changed at least on voice command.

13. A method for controlling an electronic apparatus comprising:

receiving a motion start command;

in response to the receiving the motion start command, changing a mode of the electronic apparatus to a motion task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled in accordance with a user'"'"'s motion, and displaying motion guide information including a plurality of motion items for commanding the electronic apparatus to perform tasks in the motion task mode; and

changing at least one motion item from among the plurality of motion items with a motion item corresponding to an executed application in response to receiving a command directing the electronic apparatus to execute an application.

14. An electronic apparatus comprising:

a motion input device which receives a user'"'"'s motion;

a display; and

a controller which changes a mode of the electronic apparatus to a motion task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled in accordance with a user'"'"'s motion, and displays motion guide information including a plurality of motion items for commanding the electronic apparatus to perform tasks in the motion task mode in response to receiving a motion start command, and which changes at least one motion item from among the plurality of motion items with a motion item corresponding to an executed application, in response to receiving a command directing the electronic apparatus to execute the application.

15. A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying voice guide information including a plurality of voice commands for commanding the electronic apparatus to perform tasks in a voice task mode; and

changing at least one voice command from among the plurality of voice commands with a different voice command in accordance with a user'"'"'s input.

16. A method for controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying motion guide information including a plurality of motion items for commanding the electronic apparatus to perform tasks in a motion task mode; and

changing at least one motion item from among the plurality of motion items with a motion item corresponding to an executed application in response to receiving a command directing the electronic apparatus to execute an application.
