  • Patent number: 10997973
    Abstract: Disclosed is a voice recognition apparatus connected via a network and sharing a voice recognition function. The voice recognition apparatus includes: a microphone configured to receive a voice signal from a user's speech; a communicator configured to communicate with at least one external voice recognition apparatus; a voice recognizer configured to determine a wake-up word involved in the voice signal; and a controller configured to transmit the voice signal to the external voice recognition apparatus corresponding to the determined wake-up word. Thus, it is possible to overcome a limited voice recognition distance caused by a physical characteristic of a microphone and expand a spatial range where voice recognition is possible, thereby providing various voice recognition services to a user in more places.

  • Publication number: 20210081623
    Abstract: Provided are method and apparatus for writing and reproducing a multimedia service using a tag in order to provide an intuitive interface for a user using a multimedia service. The method includes selecting a multimedia service to be written; generating tag information identifying the selected multimedia service; and writing the generated tag information to a tag. Accordingly, multimedia service information and content information can be stored in a tag by being written to tag information using a common format, and thus the user can later execute a service operation by easily writing information of a desired service operation to a tag and then simply connecting the tag to a tag reading device.
