Abstract

A method and an electronic device provide a voice recognition service. The method includes displaying one or more application programs according to a voice command input through a microphone, determining an additional service to be driven in a selected application program in consideration of the voice command when the any one of the one or more application programs is selected, and displaying the additional service.

Claims

1. A method of providing a voice recognition service, the method comprising:

displaying one or more application programs that are executable according to a voice command input through a microphone;

determining an additional service to be driven in a selected application program based on the voice command when the any one of the one or more application programs is selected; and

displaying the additional service.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the determination of the additional service comprises:

verifying whether there is an additional service corresponding to the voice command in the selected application program; and

determining the additional service to be driven in the selected application program in consideration of the voice command when there is the additional service corresponding to the voice command.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising displaying a home picture of the selected application program when there is no additional service corresponding to the voice command.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising mapping the voice command with the additional service when any one additional service is selected on the home picture of the application.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining the number of application programs which are executable according to the voice command,

wherein the displaying of the application programs comprises displaying a plurality of application programs when there are the plurality of application programs which are executable according to the voice command.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising executing one application program when there is only one application program which is executable according to the voice command.

7. The method of claim 5, wherein the display of the plurality of application programs comprises:

arranging the plurality of application programs which are executable according to the voice command; and

displaying the plurality of arranged application programs.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising adding the voice command to a voice index list of a selected application program when the any one of the one or more application programs is selected.

9. A method of providing a voice recognition service, the method comprising:

extracting index information of one or more application programs installed in an electronic device; and

generating a voice index list of the one or more application programs using the index information.

10. The method of claim 9, further comprising verifying whether to generate a voice index list of the application program when the application program is installed,

wherein the index information of the one or more application programs installed in the electronic device is extracted when the voice index list of the application program is generated.

11. The method of claim 9, wherein the index information includes at least one of a title of an application program included in an application program package and voice index information of a previously defined application program.

12. An electronic device comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory; and

one or more programs, each of the one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executable by the one or more processors,

wherein each of the one or more programs includes one or more instructions for;

displaying one or more application programs that are executable according to a voice command input through a microphone,

determining an additional service to be driven in a selected application program in consideration of the voice command when the any one of the one or more application programs is selected, and

displaying the additional service.

13. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the instruction for determining the additional service includes an instruction for:

verifying whether there is an additional service corresponding to the voice command in the selected application program, and

determining the additional service to be driven in the selected application program based on the voice command when there is the additional service corresponding to the voice command.

14. The electronic device of claim 13, further comprising an instruction for:

displaying a home picture of the selected application program when there is no additional service corresponding to the voice command.

15. The electronic device of claim 14, further comprising an instruction for:

mapping the voice command with the additional service when any one additional service is selected on the home picture of the application.

16. The electronic device of claim 12, further comprising an instruction for:

verifying the number of application programs which are executable according to the voice command,

wherein the instruction for displaying the application programs includes an instruction for;

displaying a plurality of application programs when there are the plurality of application programs which are executable according to the voice command.

17. The electronic device of claim 16, further comprising an instruction for:

executing one application program when there is the one application program which is executable according to the voice command.

18. The electronic device of claim 16, wherein the instruction for displaying the plurality of application programs includes an instruction for:

arranging the plurality of application programs that are executable according to the voice command, and

displaying the plurality of arranged application programs.

19. The electronic device of claim 12, further comprising an instruction for:

adding the voice command to a voice index list of a selected application program when the any one of the one or more application programs is selected.

20. The electronic device of claim 12, wherein the one or more processors include:

a first processor for selecting any one of the one or more application programs that are executable according to the voice command; and

a second processor for determining an additional service to be driven in the application program selected in the first processor.

21. The electronic device of claim 20, wherein the first processor transmits information about the any one selected application program and the voice command to the second processor, and

wherein the second processor determines the additional service to be driven in the selected application program in consideration of the voice command provided from the first processor.

22. An electronic device comprising:

one or more processors;

a memory; and

one or more programs, each of the one or more programs stored in the memory and configured to be executed by the one or more processors,

wherein each of the one or more programs includes one or more instructions for;

extracting index information of one or more application programs installed in the electronic device, and

generating a voice index list of the one or more application programs using the index information.

23. The electronic device of claim 22, further comprising an instruction for:

verifying whether to generate a voice index list of the application program when the application program is installed,

wherein the index information of the one or more application programs installed in the electronic device is extracted when the voice index list of the application program is generated.

24. The electronic device of claim 22, wherein the index information includes:

at least one of a title of an application program included in an application program package, and

voice index information of a previously defined application program.
