Abstract

A display apparatus and a server which implements an interactive system are disclosed. The server includes a communicator which receives text information corresponding to a user voice collected at the display apparatus from the display apparatus, and a controller which extracts an utterance component from the text information and controls so that a query to search contents is generated using the extracted utterance component and transmitted to an external server which categorizes metadata of the content under each item and stores the same, in which the controller generates the query by adding a preset item to a criteria to search a content, when a number of criteria to categorize the content under an item corresponding to the extracted utterance component is less than a preset number.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An electronic device comprising:
a microphone configured to collect a user voice; a communicator configured to transmit the collected user voice to a server; and a controller is configured to control the communicator to transmit to the server a keyword included in the collected user voice and information related to a content being currently output.

2 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , further comprises:
a display configured to display the response message and the content, wherein the controller is configured to display the response message corresponding to the collected user voice and the content on the display.

3 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the search result comprises information regarding at least one content searched based on the keyword included in the collected user voice and the information related to a content being currently output.

4 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 1 ,
wherein the controller, when a keyword for searching a rebroadcast content is extracted from the collected user voice, transmits to the server the keyword for searching the rebroadcast content and the information regarding a broadcast channel through which the content being currently output is provided.

5 . The electronic device as claimed in claim 4 ,
wherein the response message includes information regarding a content corresponding to a rebroadcast content from among contents provided by the broadcast channel.

6 . A control method of an electronic device, the method comprising:
collecting a user voice; and transmitting to a server a keyword included in the collected user voice and information related to a content being currently output.

7 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the outputting displays the response message corresponding to the collected user voice and the content on a display of the electronic device.

8 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the search result comprises information regarding at least one content searched based on the keyword included in the collected user voice and the information related to a content being currently output.

9 . The method as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the transmitting, when a keyword for searching a rebroadcast content is extracted from the collected user voice, transmits to the server the keyword for searching the rebroadcast content and the information regarding a broadcast channel through which the content being currently output is provided.

10 . The method as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the response message includes information regarding a content corresponding to a rebroadcast content from among contents provided by the broadcast channel.

11 . A recordable medium which stores a program to perform a method for controlling an electronic device, wherein the program comprises a command to perform:
collecting a user voice; and transmitting to a server a keyword included in the collected user voice and information related to a content being currently output.

12 . The recordable medium as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the outputting displays the response message corresponding to the collected user voice and the content on a display of the electronic device.

13 . The recordable medium as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the search result comprises information regarding at least one content searched based on the keyword included in the collected user voice and the information related to a content being currently output.

14 . The recordable medium as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the transmitting, when a keyword for searching a rebroadcast content is extracted from the collected user voice, transmits to the server the keyword for searching the rebroadcast content and the information regarding a broadcast channel through which the content being currently output is provided.

15 . The recordable medium as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the response message includes information regarding a content corresponding to a rebroadcast content from among contents provided by the broadcast channel.
