Abstract

A method of controlling an electronic apparatus is provided. The method includes obtaining a name referring to a user of another electronic apparatus in a chat with the user of the other electronic apparatus using an artificial intelligence (AI) model trained by an AI algorithm while conducting the chat with the user of the other electronic apparatus using the electronic apparatus; and storing the obtained name in association with contact information of the user of the other electronic apparatus. At least some of the control method of the disclosure may use an AI model trained according to at least one of machine learning, neural network, or deep learning algorithm.

First claim

What is claimed is:

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

obtaining at least one sentence while communicating with the user of the other electronic apparatus;
obtaining information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and key word of schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus, in the at least one sentence using an artificial intelligence (AI) model;
storing the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and the key word of schedule information corresponding to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus, in association with contact information of the user of the other electronic apparatus; and
displaying a recent contact list including a plurality of contact records, the plurality of contact records including a contact record of the user of the other electronic apparatus and wherein one or more tags related to the key word of schedule information are displayed in association with the contact record of the user of the other electronic apparatus;
wherein the contact record with the user of the other electronic apparatus, the contact number of the user of the other electronic apparatus, the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus, and the key word of schedule information are displayed simultaneously in the recent contact list.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more tags include a location tag corresponding to the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the one or more tags include a location tag, a date tag, and a time tag corresponding to the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining a user voice for obtaining the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus;
obtaining time information from the user voice based on the user voice being input;
obtaining the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus based on the time information and the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus; and
providing a response message UI including the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining a user voice for making a call including the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and time information;
obtaining the contact record with the user of the other electronic apparatus based on the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus, the time information and the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus; and
performing a call connection based on the contact record with the user of the other electronic apparatus.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:
obtaining a user voice for transmitting a message to the user of the other electronic apparatus;
obtaining the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and time information from the user voice;
obtaining the contact record with the user of the other electronic apparatus based on the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus, the time information and the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus; and
transmitting a message including the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus.

7. The method as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising:
obtaining a user voice for transmitting a message to the user of the other electronic apparatus;
obtaining the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and time information from the user voice;
obtaining the contact record with the user of the other electronic apparatus based on the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus, the time information and the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus; and
transmitting a message including the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus.

8. The method as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus comprises location information and time information.

9. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a communicator comprising communication circuitry;
a memory configured to store computer executable instructions; and
a processor configured, by computer executable instructions, to control the electronic apparatus to:
perform a function for communicating with a user of other electronic apparatus;
obtain at least one sentence while communicating with the user of the other electronic apparatus;
obtain information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and key word of schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus, in the at least one sentence using an artificial intelligence (AI) model;
store the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus and the key word of schedule information corresponding to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus, in association with contact information of the user of the other electronic apparatus; and
control a display to display a recent contact list including a plurality of contact records, the plurality of contact records including a contact record of the user of the other electronic apparatus and wherein one or more tags related to the key word of schedule information are displayed in association with the contact record of the user of the other electronic apparatus;
control the display so that the contact record with the user of the other electronic apparatus, the contact number of the user of the other electronic apparatus, the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus, and the key word of schedule information are displayed simultaneously in the recent contact list.

10. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the one or more tags include a location tag corresponding to the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus.

11. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the one or more tags include a location tag, a date tag, and a time tag corresponding to the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the other electronic apparatus.

12. The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to:
obtain a user voice for obtaining the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus,
obtain time information from the user voice based on the user voice being input,
obtain the information referring to the user of the other electronic apparatus based on the time information and the schedule information related to the communication with the user of the othe
