5. The display apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the controller controls the outputter to output an audio volume of contents output from the display apparatus to be relatively lower than a volume of voice output as the response message, based on the second response information corresponding to the second text information.

6. The display apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the controller outputs the response message corresponding to a re-received user'"'"'s voice as a text where a predetermined keyword is highlighted, based on the second response information corresponding to the second text information.

7. A server which is interconnected with a display apparatus, the server comprising:

a communicator which receives text information corresponding to a voice of a user collected in the display apparatus; and

a controller configured to analyze the text information to determine an utterance intention included in the voice, and control the communicator to transmit response information corresponding to the determined utterance intention to the display apparatus,

wherein the controller generates second response information corresponding to second text information to be differentiated from first response information corresponding to first text information and transmits the generated second response information to the display apparatus, when utterance intentions included in the first text information and second text information are the same.

8. The server according to claim 7, wherein the display apparatus outputs a response message corresponding to the voice as at least one from among voice and text, based on the response information.

9. The server according to claim 8, wherein the controller generates the first response information corresponding to the first text information so that the display apparatus outputs the response message as one of the voice and the text, and generates the second response information corresponding to the second text information so that the display apparatus outputs the response message as one of the voice and the text, when the first text information and second text information are sequentially received.

10. The server according to claim 8, wherein the controller generates the second response information corresponding to the second text information so that audio volume of contents output from the display apparatus is lower than volume of voice output as the response message, when the first text information and second text information are sequentially received.

11. The server according to claim 8, wherein the controller generates the first response information corresponding to the first text information so that the display apparatus outputs the response message as a text, and generates the second response information corresponding to the second text information so that the display apparatus outputs the second response message as a text where a keyword is highlighted, when the first text information and second text information are sequentially received.

12. A control method of a display apparatus, the control method comprising:

collecting a voice of a user;

transmitting the voice to a first server, and receiving text information corresponding to the voice from the first server;

transmitting the received text information to a second server, and receiving response information corresponding to the text information; and

outputting a second response message differentiated from a first response message corresponding to a previously collected user'"'"'s voice based on the response information, when a user'"'"'s voice having a same utterance intention as the previously collected user'"'"'s voice is re-collected.

13. The control method according to claim 12, wherein the second server analyzes the text information and determines an utterance intention included in a user'"'"'s voice, and transmits the response information corresponding to the determined utterance intention to the display apparatus.

14. The control method according to claim 13, wherein the second server generates second response information corresponding to second text information to be differentiated from first response information corresponding to first text information and transmits the generated second response information to the display apparatus, when utterance intentions included in the sequentially received first text information and the second text information are the same.

15. The control method according to claim 14, wherein the outputting comprises outputting the second response message corresponding to a re-received user'"'"'s voice re-received as at least one from among voice data and a text, based on the second response information corresponding to the second text information.

16. The control method according to claim 14, wherein the outputting comprises outputting audio volume of contents output from the display apparatus which is lower than volume of voice output as the response message, based on the response information corresponding to the second text information.
