Abstract
A vehicle and a control method thereof includes a microphone to which a speech command of a user is input; a communication module configured to receive contact data and contact history data from a mobile device; at least one memory configured to store a first speech recognition database, obtained based on the contact history data received from the mobile device, and a second speech recognition database obtained based on the contact data received from the mobile device; and at least one processor configured to, when a speech command for calling or texting is input to the microphone, determine a final recipient or generate a recipient candidate list, based on recipient information included in the speech command, the stored first speech recognition database, and the stored second speech recognition database.
Claims18
A vehicle, comprising:
- a microphone to which a speech command of a user is input;
- a communication module configured to receive contact data and contact history data from a mobile device;
- at least one memory configured to store a first speech recognition database, obtained based on the contact history data received from the mobile device, and a second speech recognition database obtained based on the contact data received from the mobile device;
- and
- at least one processor operatively connected to the microphone, the communication module and the at least one memory and configured to, when a speech command for calling or texting is input to the microphone, determine a final recipient or generate a recipient candidate list, based on recipient information included in the speech command, the stored first speech recognition database, and the stored second speech recognition database,
- wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform a first search of searching the first speech recognition database for data corresponding to the recipient information included in the speech command, and obtain additional information related to a contact time from the speech command of the user, and perform the first search based on the obtained additional information,
- wherein the additional information related to a contact time comprises at least one of information related to a date on which a call is made, and information related to a date and time at which a text message is received or transmitted.
A method of controlling a vehicle, the method comprising:
- receiving contact data and contact history data from a mobile device;
- generating and storing a first speech recognition database based on the contact history data received from the mobile device;
- generating and storing a second speech recognition database based on the contact data received from the mobile device;
- and
- when a speech command for calling or texting is input to a microphone, determining, by at least one processor, a final recipient or generating, by the at least one processor, a recipient candidate list, based on recipient information included in the speech command, the stored first speech recognition database and the stored second speech recognition database,
- wherein the determining of the final recipient or the generating of the recipient candidate list includes performing a first search of searching the first speech recognition database for data corresponding to the recipient information included in the speech command, and
- wherein the determining of the final recipient or the generating of the recipient candidate list includes obtaining additional information related to a contact time from the speech command of a user, and performing the first search based on the obtained additional information, the additional information related to a contact time comprises at least one of information related to a date on which a call is made, and information related to a date and time at which a text message is received or transmitted.
