Abstract

A display apparatus is provided, which includes a storage configured to store voice patterns of at least one user and personalization information set with respect to at least one user, a receiver configured to receive a user voice, and a controller configured to detect the personalization information that corresponds to the voice pattern of the user voice from the storage and to control a function of the display apparatus according to the detected personalization information.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a storage configured to store voice pattern information of at least one user and personalization information associated with the at least one user;

a receiver configured to receive input from a user; and

a controller configured to detect personalization information of the user corresponding to voice pattern information of the user, and to control a function of the display apparatus according to the detected personalization information.

2. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the personalization information includes identification information of the at least one user, and

if a user input corresponding to a command for turning on the display apparatus is received, the controller turns on the display apparatus and automatically logs into at least one user account using the identification information that corresponds to the user input.

3. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein if the user input corresponding to a command for turning off the display apparatus is received, the controller turns off the display apparatus and automatically logs out of the at least one user account.

4. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a display configured to display at least one menu,

wherein the controller controls at least one of a shape, a size, a position, a color, and a menu display order of the at least one menu according to the detected personalization information.

5. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller provides at least one of a personal application service for automatically executing an application that corresponds to the detected personalization information, a recommendation service for recommending a menu that corresponds to the detected personalization information, a communication service for displaying a communication screen that corresponds to the detected personalization information, and a channel selection service for selecting a broadcasting channel that corresponds to the detected personalization information.

6. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:

a display; and

a sensor configured to sense a user'"'"'s eye,

wherein if it is determined that the user'"'"'s eye is not directed to the display for a predetermined time, the controller changes a current mode to a standby mode.

7. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein if a plurality of users'"'"' eyes are sensed by the sensor, the controller changes the current mode to a common mode for controlling functions of the display apparatus according to a default setting.

8. The display apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein if the user input is received having a voice pattern that is different from the voice pattern information stored in the storage, the controller changes a current mode to a common mode for controlling the function of the display apparatus according to a default setting.

9. A method for providing a personalized service of a display apparatus, comprising:

storing voice pattern information of at least one user and personalization information associated with the at least one user;

receiving a user input; and

detecting the personalization information of the user corresponding to voice pattern information of the user, and controlling a function of the display apparatus according to the detected personalization information.

10. The method for providing a personalized service as claimed in claim 9, wherein the personalization information includes identification information of the at least one user, and

the controlling comprises:

if a user input corresponding to a command for turning on the display apparatus is received, turning on the display apparatus; and

automatically logging into at least one user account using the identification information that corresponds to the user input.

11. The method for providing a personalized service as claimed in claim 10, wherein the controlling further comprises:

if the user input corresponding to a command for turning off the display apparatus is received, turning off the display apparatus; and

performing auto-logout from the at least one user account.

12. The method for providing a personalized service as claimed in claim 9, wherein the controlling comprises controlling at least one of a shape, a size, a position, a color, and a menu display order of a displayed menu according to the detected personalization information.

13. The method for providing a personalized service as claimed in claim 9, wherein the controlling comprises providing the personalized service that corresponds to the detected personalization information,

wherein the personalized service includes at least one of a personal application service for automatically executing an application that corresponds to the detected personalization information, a recommendation service for recommending a menu that corresponds to the detected personalization information, a communication service for displaying a communication screen that corresponds to the detected personalization information, and a channel selection service for selecting a broadcasting channel that corresponds to the detected personalization information.

14. The method for providing a personalized service as claimed in claim 9, further comprising:

sensing a user'"'"'s eye; and

if it is determined that the user'"'"'s eye is not directed to the display apparatus for a predetermined time, changing a current mode to a standby mode.

15. The method for providing a personalized service as claimed in claim 14, further comprising if eyes of a plurality of users are simultaneously sensed, changing the current mode to a common mode for controlling functions of the display apparatus according to a default setting.

16. The method for providing a personalized service as claimed in claim 9, further comprising if the user input having a voice pattern different from the voice pattern information stored in the storage is received, changing a current mode to a common mode for controlling the function of the display apparatus according to a default setting.

17. A display apparatus comprising:

a detector configured to detect user presence;

a receiver configured to receive input from at least one user; and

a display configured to present personalized output according to user personalization information associated with a user.

18. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the detector comprises a visual input device configured to sense a user'"'"'s eye.

19. The apparatus of claim 17, further comprising a controller configured to cause the display to present a default output if the detector detects a presence of more than one user.

20. The apparatus of claim 19, wherein the user is automatically logged out of any automatically authenticated services when the controller causes the display to present a default output.

21. A display apparatus comprising:

a detector which detects personalization information associated with at least one user which corresponds to stored user voice pattern information; and

a controller configured to control a function of the display apparatus according to the detected personalization information of at least one user.

22. The apparatus of claim 21, where in the controller comprises a memory configured to store the user voice pattern information and personalization information.

23. The apparatus of claim 21 further comprising a receiver configured to receive audio data,

wherein the detector detects personalization information of at least one user present in audio data received by the receiver.
