First Claim
1. An electronic device comprising:
- one or more microphones;
a communication module;
a display unit; and
one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to;
recognize a wakeup command in a voice signal received through the one or more microphones while displaying a lock screen in a locked state of the display unit, wherein the voice signal further includes a voice command subsequent to the wakeup command, where there is a duration of silence between the wakeup command and the voice command,in response to recognizing the wakeup command in the voice signal, change the lock screen to a screen for a voice command function including a visual object related to voice recognition while maintaining the lock state of the display unit, the visual object being indicative of the voice command function being activated,transmit a signal including the voice command of the voice signal through the communication module to a server for conducting speech recognition on the voice command,display, through the display unit, a text, which is received from the server, the text indicating that the server is conducting the speech recognition on the voice command and corresponding to the voice command between the wakeup command and the voice command, andafter displaying the text, perform an operation responsive to a control signal, corresponding to the recognized voice command, received from the server.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for executing a voice command in an electronic device. In an exemplary embodiment, a voice signal is detected and speech thereof is recognized. When the recognized speech contains a wakeup command, a voice command mode is activated, and a signal containing at least a portion of the detected voice signal is transmitted to a server. The server generates a control signal or a result signal corresponding to the voice command, and transmits the same to the electronic device. The device receives and processes the control or result signal, and awakens. Thereby, voice commands are executed without the need for the user to physically touch the electronic device.

5. An electronic device comprising:
-
one or more microphones; a communication module; a display unit; and one or more processors, wherein the one or more processors are configured to; recognize a wakeup command in a voice signal received through the one or more microphones in an idle state of a system of the electronic device, wherein the voice signal further includes a voice command subsequent to the wakeup command, where there is a duration of silence between the wakeup command and the voice command, in response to recognizing the wakeup command in the voice signal, change the idle state to an active state of the system, in response to the changing to the active state, control the display unit to display a screen for a voice command function including a visual object related to voice recognition, the visual object being indicative of the voice command function being activated, transmit a signal including the voice command of the voice signal through the communication module to a server for conducting speech recognition on the voice command, display, through the display unit, a text, which is received from the server, the text indicating that the server is conducting the speech recognition on the voice command and corresponding to the voice command between the wakeup command and the voice command, and after displaying the text, perform an operation responsive to a control signal, corresponding to the recognized voice command, received from the server. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)

9. A computer program product comprising one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media having a computer readable program stored therein, wherein the computer readable program, when executed on an electronic device, causes the device to:
-
receive a voice signal including a wakeup command and a voice command subsequent to the wakeup command from a user, where there is a duration of silence between the wakeup command and the voice command; recognize the wakeup command while a touch screen of the electronic device is locked; in response to recognizing the wakeup command unlocking the touch screen; transmit a signal including the voice command of the voice signal to a server for conducting speech recognition on the voice command and obtaining a recognized voice command at the server; receive a control signal corresponding to the recognized voice command from the server; and perform an operation in response to the control signal. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
