Electronic apparatus and method of controlling electronic apparatus

Abstract

An electronic apparatus and a method of controlling the electronic apparatus are provided. The method includes: receiving a voice command; and if the voice command is a first voice start command, changing a mode of the electronic apparatus to a first voice task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled according to further voice input, and if the voice command is a second voice start command, changing the mode of the electronic apparatus to a second voice task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled according to the further voice input received via an external apparatus which operates with the electronic apparatus. Therefore, providing efficiency and flexibility in controlling the electronic apparatus by using a microphone of the electronic apparatus or a microphone of the external apparatus.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of controlling an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:
 receiving a voice input;   if the voice input is received, changing a mode of the electronic apparatus to a voice task mode; and   if a voice recognition error occurs in the voice task mode, outputting one of a plurality of feedback messages which indicate the voice recognition error.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 if the voice recognition error repeatedly occurs in the voice task mode, randomly selecting and outputting one of the plurality of feedback messages.   
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the voice task mode comprises a first voice task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled according to further voice input and a second voice task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled according to said further voice input received via an external apparatus which operates with the electronic apparatus. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3 , wherein different ones of the plurality of feedback messages are selected according to a type of the voice task mode. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein different ones of the plurality of feedback messages are selected according to a type of the voice recognition error. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the voice recognition error comprises at least one of an error in recognizing said further voice input, an error in pressing a button of the external apparatus for a preset time after said further voice input, and an error in providing said further voice input for a preset time after the button of the external apparatus is pressed. 
     
     
         7 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the outputting said one of the plurality of feedback messages comprises: if the voice recognition error occurs for the first time, displaying a default feedback message. 
     
     
         8 . An electronic apparatus comprising:
 a voice input unit which receives voice input; and   a controller which controls the electronic apparatus based on the voice input received by the voice input unit,   wherein, if the voice input is received by the voice input unit, the controller changes a mode of the electronic apparatus to a voice task mode, and if a voice recognition error occurs in the voice task mode, the controller provides one of a plurality of feedback messages which indicate the voice recognition error.   
     
     
         9 . The electronic apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein if the voice recognition error repeatedly occurs in the voice task mode, the controller randomly selects and outputs one of the plurality of feedback messages. 
     
     
         10 . The electronic apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the voice task mode comprises a first voice task mode in which the electronic apparatus is controlled according to further voice input and a second voice task mode which in which the electronic apparatus is controlled according to said further voice input received via an external apparatus which operates with the electronic apparatus. 
     
     
         11 . The electronic apparatus of  claim 10 , wherein different ones of the plurality of feedback messages are selected according to a type of the voice task mode. 
     
     
         12 . The electronic apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein different ones of the plurality of feedback messages are selected according to a type of the voice recognition error. 
     
     
         13 . The electronic apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the voice recognition error comprises at least one of an error in recognizing said further voice input, an error in pressing a button of the external apparatus for a preset time after said further voice input, and an error in providing said further voice input for a preset time after the button of the external apparatus is pressed. 
     
     
         14 . The electronic apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein if the voice recognition error occurs for the first time, the controller outputs a default feedback message.
