Abstract

An electronic apparatus includes: an output; a voice collector configured to collect a voice of a user; a first communicator configured to transmit the voice of the user to a first server and receive text information corresponding to the voice of the user from the first server; a second communicator configured to transmit the received text information to a second server; and a controller configured to, in response to response information corresponding to the text information being received from the second server, control the output to output a system response, differentiated according to an utterance intention included in the voice of the user, based on the response information. The utterance intention relates to a search for content or a recommendation of content.

Claims

1. An electronic apparatus comprising:

an output;

a voice collector configured to collect a voice of a user;

a first communicator configured to transmit the voice of the user to a first server and receive text information corresponding to the voice of the user from the first server;

a second communicator configured to transmit the received text information to a second server; and

a controller configured to, in response to response information corresponding to the text information being received from the second server, control the output to output a system response, differentiated according to an utterance intention included in the voice of the user, based on the response information,

wherein the utterance intention relates to a search for content or a recommendation of content.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the second server is further configured to generate different types of the response information according to whether the text information comprises a keyword indicating that the utterance intention relates to the search for the content or a keyword indicating that the utterance intention relates to the recommendation of the content and transmit the different types of the response information to the electronic apparatus.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein in response to the utterance intention being related to the search for content, the controller is further configured to output a search list of contents, searched according to the utterance intention, as the system response.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein in response to the utterance intention being related to the recommendation of content, the controller is further configured to output a recommendation list of contents, which are selected from contents searched according to the utterance intention, based on viewer ratings, as the system response.

5. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein in response to the utterance intention being related to the recommendation of content, the controller is further configured to output a recommendation list of contents, which are selected from contents searched according to the utterance intention, based on user preference information, as the system response.

6. The electronic apparatus of claim 1, wherein the electronic apparatus is a display apparatus.

7. A method of controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

collecting a voice of a user;

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

transmitting the received text information to a second server; and

in response to response information corresponding to the text information being received from the second server, outputting a system response, differentiated according to an utterance intention included in the voice of the user, based on the response information,

wherein the utterance intention relates to a search for content or a recommendation of content.

8. The method of claim 7, wherein the second server is further configured to generate different types of the response information according to whether the text information comprises a keyword indicating that the utterance intention relates to the search for content or a keyword indicating that the utterance intention relates to the recommendation of content and transmit the different types of the response information to the electronic apparatus.

9. The method of claim 7, wherein in response to the utterance intention being related to the search for content, a search list of contents, searched according to the utterance intention, is output as the system response.

10. The method of claim 7, wherein in response to the utterance intention being related to the recommendation of content, a recommendation list of contents, which are selected from contents searched according to the utterance intention, based on viewer ratings, is output as the system response.

11. The method of claim 7, wherein in response to the utterance intention being related to the recommendation of content, a recommendation list of contents, which are selected from contents searched according to the utterance intention, based on user preference information, is output as the system response.

12. The method of claim 7, wherein the electronic apparatus is a display apparatus.
