5. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the information corresponding to the requested category does not exist among the plurality of category information corresponding to the scene, the controller is configured to determine whether the information corresponding to the requested category exists for a previous scene that was disposed before receiving the voice command.

6. The display device according to claim 5 , wherein, when the information corresponding to the requested category exists for the previous scene before receiving the voice command, the controller is configured to control the display so that the information corresponding to the requested category in the previous scene is displayed.

7. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the information corresponding to the requested category does not exist among the plurality of category information corresponding to the scene, the controller is configured to control the display so that all content-related information corresponding to the content is displayed.

8. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the voice command is received, the controller is configured to acquire content-related information that is metadata including a category.

9. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the category comprises at least one of a location, a product, and a character.

10. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of category information comprises categories corresponding to a frame time for each of a plurality of frames constituting the content.

11. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein, when the plurality of category information is displayed, the controller is configured to control the display so that an image captured at a time point, at which the voice command is received, is further displayed.

12. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to acquire the requested category based on the voice command.

13. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is configured to determine an order in which the content-related information is displayed based on the requested category.

14. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the first category information having the first priority is displayed at a location on the display that is higher than the second category information having the second priority.

15. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of category information corresponding to the scene are displayed on a left side of a screen, and the scene is displayed on a right side of the screen.

16. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
in response when the information corresponding to the requested category not existing among the plurality of category information corresponding to the scene, display a message overlaid on the scene,
wherein the message indicates that no information is available for the requested category and includes a question asking the user whether to receive other information related to the scene that is different than the requested category.

17. The display device according to claim 1 , wherein a no icon and a yes icon are displayed below the question included in the message that is overlaid on the scene.

18. The display device according to claim 17 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
in response to receiving a user selection input corresponding to the yes icon, change an arrangement of at least one of the first category information and the second category information to generate rearranged information and displayed the rearranged information together with the scene.
