  • Patent number: 9886952
    Abstract: An interactive system, a display apparatus, and a controlling method are provided. The display apparatus includes an input which receives an uttered voice of a user; a communicator which transmits a voice signal of the uttered voice to a voice recognition apparatus; a voice recognizer which performs a voice recognition process with the uttered voice; and a controller which determines first or second voice information which has a reliability value greater than or equal to a preset threshold value among a reliability value of the first voice information, and a reliability value of the second voice information to be an execution command of the uttered voice. Therefore, if the display apparatus and an external apparatus simultaneously recognize the uttered voice of the user, the display apparatus selects a voice recognition result proximate to an intent of the user from two voice recognition results.

  • Patent number: 9589561
    Abstract: A display apparatus which is capable of recognizing a voice and a method thereof are provided. The method includes receiving an uttered voice of a user, extracting a plurality of similar words which are similar to the uttered voice by extracting voice information from the uttered voice and measuring reliability of a plurality of words based on the extracted voice information, setting a word satisfying a predetermined condition from among the plurality of extracted similar words as a target word with respect to the uttered voice, and displaying at least one of the target word and a similar word list including similar words other than the target word. In this manner, a display apparatus may improve a recognition rate on an uttered voice of a user without changing an internal component related to voice recognition, such as, an acoustic model, a pronunciation dictionary, or the like.
