Abstract

A display apparatus, including a microphone configured to receive a voice signal and a controller configured to generate a resulting screen corresponding to the voice signal different from a first displayed screen and according to a status of the content of the first displayed screen; to display the resulting screen on the display. Accordingly, the display apparatus provides a different resulting screen according to a status of the display apparatus.

Claims

1. A display apparatus comprising:

a microphone configured to receive a voice signal;

a graphic processor configured to generate a resulting screen on a display corresponding to the voice signal different from a first displayed screen and according to a status of the content of the screen; and

a controller configured to control the display to display the resulting screen generated by the graphic processor.

2. The display apparatus of claim 1, further comprising a communicator configured to communicate with a server apparatus, the server apparatus configured to perform a search corresponding to the status information and the text,

wherein the controller transmits status information on the at least one content and a text corresponding to the voice signal to the server apparatus through the communicator, and, when a result of the searching corresponding to the status information and the text is received from the server apparatus, the controller generates the resulting screen according to the result of the searching.

3. The display apparatus of claim 2, wherein, when the voice signal is input, the controller transmits the voice signal to a text converter through the communicator, and, when the voice signal is converted into the text by the text converter, the controller receives the text from the text converter through the communicator.

4. The display apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a processor configured to replay a content,

wherein the controller receives address information for acquiring a designated content from the server apparatus, acquires the designated content according to the address information, and controls the content processor to replay the acquired content.

5. The display apparatus of claim 2, wherein, when the result of the searching based on the voice signal is received from the server apparatus, the controller controls the graphic processor to generate the resulting screen based on the result of the searching.

6. The display apparatus of claim 2, further comprising a processor configured to replay a content,

wherein, when a content designated by the voice signal exists in the first displayed screen, the controller receives address information for acquiring the designated content from the server apparatus, acquires the designated content according to the address information, and controls the content processor to replay the acquired content, and

when the content designated by the voice signal does not exist in the first displayed screen, the controller receives the result of the searching based on the voice signal from the server apparatus and controls the graphic processor to generate the resulting screen based on the result of the searching.

7. The display apparatus of claim 2, wherein the status information comprises at least one from among title information, alias title information, and identification information of the content included in the first displayed screen.

8. The display apparatus of claim 2, wherein the status information comprises at least one piece of information from among information on a number of contents included in the first displayed screen, information on a type of content, and content setting information.

9. A display system comprising:

a display apparatus configured to be controlled by an input of a voice signal;

a text converter configured to convert the voice signal input to the display apparatus into a text; and

a server apparatus configured to perform searching according to status information of a screen displayed on the display apparatus and the text received from the display apparatus, and provide a result of the searching to the display apparatus, and

wherein the display apparatus displays a resulting screen according to the result of the searching.

10. The display system of claim 9, wherein the text converter is included in the server apparatus.

11. The display system of claim 9, wherein the server apparatus receives the status information and the text from the display apparatus simultaneously.

12. The display system of claim 9, wherein the server apparatus receives the status information from the display apparatus first and subsequently receives the text.

13. The display system of claim 9, wherein the server apparatus identifies contents included in a current screen of the display apparatus based on the status information.

14. The display system of claim 13, wherein, when a content designated by the text exists in the screen of the display apparatus, the server apparatus searches address information for acquiring the designated content, and transmits the address information to the display apparatus.

15. The display system of claim 14, wherein, when the content designated by the text does not exist in the screen of the display apparatus, the server apparatus performs searching by using the text and transmits a result of the searching to the display apparatus.

16. A method for providing content information of a display apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying a screen comprising at least one content;

receiving a voice signal;

generating a resulting screen corresponding to the voice signal differently according to a status of the content in the screen; and

displaying the resulting screen.

17. The method of claim 16, further comprising:

transmitting status information on the at least one content and a text corresponding to the voice signal to a server apparatus;

searching the server apparatus corresponding to the transmitted status information and the text; and

receiving a result of the searching,

wherein the resulting screen is generated according to the result of the searching.

18. The method of claim 17, further comprising:

when the voice signal is input, transmitting the voice signal to a text converter; and

when the voice signal is converted into the text by the text converter, receiving the text.

19. The method of claim 17, wherein the displaying comprises, when a content designated by the voice signal exists in the screen, receiving address information for acquiring the designated content from the server apparatus, acquiring the designated content according to the address information, replaying the acquired content, and displaying the content on the resulting screen.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the displaying comprises, when the content designated by the voice signal does not exist in the screen, receiving a result of searching the content designated by the voice signal from the server apparatus, and generating the resulting screen based on the result of the searching and displaying the resulting screen.

21. A display apparatus, comprising:

a graphic processor configured to generate at least one screen on a display having a content different from the displayed at least one content according to a user input; and

a controller configured to control the display to display the generated at least one screen.

22. The display apparatus of claim 21, further comprising:

a microphone configured to receive the user input, wherein the controller controls the microphone to send the user input to the graphic processor.
