Abstract
An electronic apparatus including an interface to communicate with an external apparatus and a processor configured to identify a command for an external apparatus based on a second audio signal received after a first audio signal identified as corresponding to a trigger command for the external apparatus, identify a state of the external apparatus based on whether the identified command is capable of being performed by the external apparatus, and transmit information, which corresponds to a function to be performed by the external apparatus by the identified command, to the external apparatus through the interface based on the identified state of the external apparatus.
Claims15
An electronic apparatus comprising:
- an interface to communicate with an external apparatus;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- identify a command for the external apparatus based on a second audio signal received after a first audio signal identified as corresponding to a trigger command for the external apparatus is received through the interface, and
- identify a state of the external apparatus based on whether the identified command is performable by the external apparatus,
- transmit information needed by the external apparatus to perform a function corresponding to the identified command, to the external apparatus through the interface, based on the identified state of the external apparatus.
A method of controlling an electronic apparatus, comprising:
- identifying a command for an external apparatus based on a second audio signal received after a first audio signal identified as corresponding to a trigger command for the external apparatus;
- identifying a state of the external apparatus based on whether the identified command is performable by the external apparatus;
- and
- transmitting information needed by the external apparatus to perform a function corresponding to the identified command to the external apparatus, based on the identified state of the external apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable medium, having recorded thereon a computer program comprising a code for performing a method of controlling an electronic apparatus the method comprising:
- identifying a command for the external apparatus based on a second audio signal received after a first audio signal identified as corresponding to a trigger command for the external apparatus;
- identifying a state of the external apparatus based on whether the identified command is performable by the external apparatus;
- and
- transmitting information needed by the external apparatus to perform a function corresponding to the identified command, to the external apparatus, based on the identified state of the external apparatus.
