Abstract
Disclosed is a server apparatus. The server apparatus comprises: a communication unit for communicating with a user terminal apparatus; a storage for storing compatible information between devices; and a processor for, if the user terminal apparatus accesses the server apparatus and identification information on the user terminal apparatus is received from the user terminal apparatus, generating recommended device information compatible with the user terminal apparatus on the basis of the information stored in the storage and transmitting the recommended device information to the user terminal apparatus.
Claims5
A server apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to communicate with a user terminal apparatus;
- a storage configured to store hardware-wise compatible information between devices and functions provided by each of the devices;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- in response to a user uttered voice signal inputted at the user terminal apparatus being received from the user terminal apparatus, extract a function from at least one text included in the user uttered voice signal, wherein the function is included in the functions stored in the storage,
- receive an image photographed by a camera included in the user terminal apparatus from the user terminal apparatus,
- detect an identification image included in the received image,
- determine a shape of the identification image,
- determine an angle of the identification image with respect to the camera based on the determined shape,
- in response to an area to be measured being designated by a user, calculate a size of the area based on the angle and pre-stored information about a size of the identification image,
- obtain recommended device information about a device which is compatible with the function, and which is hardware-wise compatible with the user terminal apparatus, based on information stored in the storage and the calculated size of the area, and
- transmit the obtained recommended device information to the user terminal apparatus,
- wherein the processor is further configured to:
- in response to the uttered voice signal including names of a plurality of different types of devices, detect specification information on an interaction function between the plurality of different types of devices from the storage, decide information on a device which provides the interaction function as the recommended device information, and in response to the specification information not being extracted, transmit a signal for requesting for input of an additional uttered voice to the user terminal apparatus, and
- transmit information on the number of functions supported by the device which provides the interaction function to the user terminal apparatus.

A method for controlling a server apparatus, the method comprising:
- in response to a user uttered voice signal inputted at a user terminal apparatus being received from the user terminal apparatus, extracting a function from at least one text included in the user uttered voice signal,
- receiving an image photographed by a camera included in the user terminal apparatus from the user terminal apparatus;
- detecting an identification image included in the received image;
- determining a shape of the identification image;
- determining an angle of the identification image with respect to the camera based on the determined shape;
- in response to an area to be measured being designated by a user, calculating a size of the area based on the angle and pre-stored information about a size of the identification image;
- obtaining recommended device information about a device which is compatible with the function, and which is hardware-wise compatible with the user terminal apparatus apparatus, based on hardware-wise compatible information between devices, functions provided by each of the devices and the calculated size of the area, wherein the function is included in the functions;
- and
- transmitting the obtained recommended device information to the user terminal apparatus,
- wherein the deciding comprises:
- in response to the uttered voice signal including names of a plurality of different types of devices, detecting specification information on an interaction function between the plurality of different types of devices from a storage, deciding information on a device which provides the interaction function as the recommended device information, and in response to the specification information not being extracted, transmitting a signal for requesting for input of an additional uttered voice to the user terminal apparatus, and
- transmitting information on a number of functions supported by the device which provides the interaction function to the user terminal apparatus.
