Abstract

A display device according to an embodiment of the present invention may comprise: a display unit for displaying a content image; a microphone for receiving voice commands from a user; a network interface unit for communicating with a natural language processing server and a search server; and a control unit for transmitting the received voice commands to the natural language processing server, receiving intention analysis result information indicating the user's intention corresponding to the voice commands from the natural language processing server, and performing a function of the display device according to the received intention analysis result information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A display device comprising:
a display configured to display a broadcasting program;
a network interface configured to perform communication with a server system; and
a controller configured to:
receive a voice command of a user while displaying the broadcasting program,

transmit, to the server system, the received voice command,
receive, from the server system, analysis result information of the voice command related to turning off the display device,
acquire a time information of the broadcasting program based on the received analysis result information of the voice command related to turning off the display device,
display, on the display, a time indication to turn off the display device based on the acquired time information of the broadcasting program currently displayed, wherein the time indication is a remaining time of the broadcasting program currently displayed, and
turn off the display device based on the time information.

2. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a microphone configured to receive the voice command of the user.

3. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising a wireless communication interface configured to receive the voice command of the user from a remote controller.

4. The display device of claim 1 , wherein based on a function corresponding to the analysis result information being determined as a function which cannot be autonomously performed by the display device, the controller is further configured to transmit, to the server system, a second data corresponding to the analysis result information.

5. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the controller transmits, to the server system, the second data with a third data.

6. The display device of claim 5 , wherein the third data includes a title of the broadcasting program.

7. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the controller transmits, to the server system, the second data with a third data output being from the display device.

8. The display device of claim 7 , wherein the third data output being from the display device is a captured image of the broadcasting program or a sound source.

9. The display device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a tuner configured to receive a broadcasting signal corresponding to the broadcasting program.

10. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the server system includes a first server and a second server, the controller transmits the received voice command to the first server and transmits the second data to the second server.

11. The display device of claim 4 , wherein the controller receives search information based on the second data from the server system and displays the search information on the display.

12. The display device of claim 1 , wherein the controller transmits, to the server system, information on the broadcast program currently being displayed along with the received voice command.

13. A display device comprising:
a display configured to display a broadcasting program;
a network interface configured to perform communication with a server system; and
a controller configured to:
receive a voice command of a user while displaying the broadcasting program,
transmit, to the server system, the received voice command and information on the broadcasting program currently being viewed,
receive, from the server system, analysis result information of the voice command related to turning off the display device based on the voice command and the information,
acquire, based on the analysis result information, time information of the broadcasting program,
display, on the display, a time indication that the display device is turned off based on the acquired time information of the broadcasting program currently displayed, wherein the time indication is a remaining time of the broadcasting program currently displayed, and
turn off the display device based on the time information.

14. A system comprising:
a display device configured to:
display, on a display, a broadcasting program,
receive a voice command of a user while displaying the broadcasting program, and
transmit, to a server system, the voice command and information on the broadcasting program currently being viewed; and
the server system configured to:
obtain analysis result information of the voice command related to turning off the display device based on the voice command and information, and
transmit the analysis result information of the voice command related to turning off the display device to the display device,
wherein the display device is further configured to:
receive, from the server system, the transmitted analysis result information of the voice command related to turning off the display device,
acquire time information of the broadcasting program based on the received analysis result information related to turning off the display device,
display, on the display, a time indication that the display device is turned off based on the acquired time information of the broadcasting program currently displayed, wherein the time indication is a remaining time of the broadcasting program currently displayed, and
turn off the display device based on the time information.
