The electronic apparatus includes a voice input which is configured to receive a user's voice, a display configured to provide a user interface (UI) screen including at least one object, and a controller which is configured to determine whether or not it is possible for the user's voice to call the object, assign to the object an identification tag which identifies the object based on a result of the determination, and display the identification tag-assigned object. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An electronic apparatus controlled by a user's voice, the electronic apparatus comprising: a voice input configured to receive a user's voice; a display configured to provide a user interface (UI) screen including at least one object; and a controller configured to determine whether or not it is possible for the user's voice to call the object, assign an identification tag to the object which identifies the object based on a result of the determination, and display the identification tag-assigned object. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller assigns and displays the identification tag to the object in response to a text item which enables voice calling to the object not being tagged to the object. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 2, wherein the object to which the text item is not tagged is an object having a thumbnail attribute or a list attribute. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller performs a task of identifying a tag-assigned object when the identification tag is called by the user's voice. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller sequentially assigns identification tags to objects on the UI screen based on a displayed order of the objects and displays the identification tag-assigned objects. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 5, wherein the identification tags includes at least one of a number tag having a preset order and an alphabet tag having a preset order. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the controller assigns and displays to at least one of the identification tag and a text item which is callable by the user's voice a preset graphic user interface (GUI) which indicates that voice calling is possible. ### Claim 8 A method of controlling an electronic apparatus by a user's voice, the control method comprising: receiving a user command which provides a user interface (UI) screen including at least one object; determining whether or not it is possible for a user's voice to call the object; and assigning to the object an identification tag which identifies the object based on a result of the determination and displaying the identification tag-assigned object. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the determining whether or not calling is possible includes determining that calling is impossible when a text item which enables voice calling to the object is not tagged to the object and the displaying includes assigning and displaying the identification tag to the object based on the determination that voice calling is impossible. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The control method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the object to which the text item is not tagged is an object having a thumbnail attribute or a list attribute. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method as claimed in claim 8, further comprising performing a task for the identification tag-assigned object when the identification tag is called by the user's voice. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the displaying on the UI screen includes sequentially assigning and displaying identification tags to objects based on a displayed order of the objects. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The method as claimed in claim 12, wherein the identification tag is at least one of a number tag having a preset order and an alphabet tag having a preset order. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the displaying includes assigning and displaying a preset graphic user interface (GUI) which indicates to at least one of the identification tag and a text item which is callable by the user's voice that voice calling is possible. ### Claim 15 An electronic apparatus controlled by a user's voice, the electronic apparatus comprising: a controller configured to determine whether or not it is possible for a user's voice to call an object, assign to the object an identification tag which identifies the object based on a result of the determination, and display the identification tag-assigned object. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The electronic apparatus of claim 15, further comprising a voice input configured to receive a user's voice. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The electronic apparatus of claim 15, further comprising a display configured to provide a user interface (UI) screen including at least one object. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the controller assigns and displays the identification tag to the object in response to a text item which enables voice calling to the object not being tagged to the object. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 18, wherein the object to which the text item is not tagged is an object having a thumbnail attribute or a list attribute. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The electronic apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the controller performs a task of identifying a tag-assigned object when the identification tag is called by the user's voice.
