Claims27
A refrigerator comprising:
- a motion sensor;
- a microphone;
- a display;
- a main body including one or more chambers;
- at least one chamber door coupled to the main body;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- based on a voice agent of the refrigerator being switched to the activation state from a deactivation state by a voice input including a wake word received via the microphone, control the display to output a first visual feedback indicating the activation state of the voice agent,
- based on the voice agent being switched to the activation state from the deactivation state by an input received from the motion sensor, control the display to output a second visual feedback indicating the activation state of the voice agent, wherein the second visual feedback is different from the first visual feedback, and
- based on a voice command being received via the microphone while the voice agent of the refrigerator is in the activated state, perform an action associated with the voice command in a case that the voice command is recognized.
