Electronic device and control method thereof
First Claim
1. A television operable based on a voice instruction of a user, the television comprising:
- a display configured to display an image;
a main controller configured to control the display to display the image when in a normal mode and to be in a power saving state when in a standby mode;
a voice input receiver configured to receive a voice instruction of a user;
a sub-voice recognizer configured to conduct voice-preprocessing of the voice instruction received by the voice input receiver in the standby mode;
a subcontroller configured to output a control signal in response to the voice instruction being voice-preprocessed by the sub-voice recognizer; and
a main voice recognizer configured to be in the power saving state when in the standby mode, in response to receiving the control signal output by the subcontroller, process the preprocessed voice instruction, and determine whether the processed voice instruction corresponds to entering the normal mode,wherein the main controller is further configured to operate in the normal mode in response to the determined voice instruction corresponding to entering the normal mode.

Abstract
An electronic device and a control method thereof are disclosed, the electronic device including: an operation implementation unit conducting a predetermined operation; a first main controller controlling the operation of the operation implementation unit; an input reception unit receiving an input signal; a second main controller processing the input signal and being in the power saving state in the standby mode; and a subcontroller controlling the second main controller to process the input signal when the input signal is received in the standby mode, wherein the second main controller processes the received input signal according to control of the subcontroller, controls the first main controller to operate in the normal mode when the input signal corresponds to entering the normal mode, and returns to the power saving state in the standby mode when the input signal does not correspond to entering the normal mode.

7. A control method of a television operable based on a voice instruction of a user, the television comprising a display displaying an image, and a main controller controlling the display to display the image when in a normal mode and being in a power saving state when in a standby mode, the control method comprising:
-
receiving a voice instruction of a user in the standby mode; by a sub-voice recognizer, conducting voice-preprocessing of the received voice instruction; by a subcontroller, outputting a control signal in response to the voice instruction being voice-preprocessed by the sub-voice recognizer; by a main voice recognizer configured to be in the power saving state when in the standby mode, in response to receiving the control signal output by the subcontroller, processing the preprocessed voice instruction and determining whether the processed voice instruction corresponds to entering the normal mode; and by the main controller, operating in the normal mode in response to the determined voice instruction corresponding to entering the normal mode. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 21)

13. A device comprising:
-
an operation implementor configured to conduct an operation; a first main controller configured to control the operation of the operation implementor; an input receiver configured to receive an input signal; a second main controller configured to process the input signal when in a standby mode; and a subcontroller configured to control the second main controller to process the input signal when the input signal is received in the standby mode, wherein at least one from among the second main controller and the subcontroller consumes less power than at least one from among the first main controller and the operation implementor, wherein the first main controller and the second main controller are separate elements of the device. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A control method of a device comprising an operation implementation unit conducting an operation, a first main controller controlling the operation of the operation implementation unit, and a second main controller processing an input signal when in the power saving state in the standby mode, the control method comprising:
-
receiving the input signal in the standby mode; controlling the second main controller to process the input signal; and by the second main controller, processing the received input signal; wherein the second main controller consumes less power than at least one from among the first main controller and the operation implementation unit, wherein the first main controller and the second main controller are separate elements of the device. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19)
