Abstract: Selectively performing voice recognition using one device among multiple devices that recognize and execute the voice recognition based on at least one of apparatus information of the multiple devices and a function parsed from a result of the voice recognition. Thereby, only a single preferable device in an environment in which multiple devices exist, which can service the user input via voice recognition, actually responds to the voice input and services the voice input of the user.

Abstract: An electronic device and a voice recognition method thereof are provided. A voice recognition method of an electronic device includes receiving trigger voice, storing a characteristic of the trigger voice for voice verification by analyzing the trigger voice. When a user issues a voice command, determining whether the user voice command comprises the characteristic belonging to the trigger voice, and performing function of the electronic device corresponding to the user voice command based on the determination. Accordingly, users may easily use the voice recognition function of the electronic device.
