A remote controller for controlling an external device by using voice recognition. The remote controller includes a microphone, at least one sensor, a communication interface, and a processor for controlling the microphone, the at least one sensor, and the communication interface. The controller identifies a user utterance intention based on utterance intention information of the remote controller and utterance intention information of the external device. The controller controls whether to supply power to the microphone according to a result of an identification of the user utterance intention, and controls the communication interface to transmit an electrical signal corresponding to a voice of user received through the microphone to a display device.

Remote controller for controlling an external device using voice recognition and method thereof

A remote control apparatus is disclosed. The remote control apparatus comprises: a microphone; a communication unit; a storage unit for storing pattern information of a non-audible sound for identification of the locality of an external electronic device; and a processor for broadcasting, through the communication unit, information acquired on the basis of an ambient sound received through the microphone, and when a non-audible sound based on broadcasted information output from an electronic device is received through the microphone, comparing a pattern of the received non-audible sound with pattern information stored in the storage unit, and transmitting a pairing request signal to the electronic device on the basis of a comparison result.

Remote control apparatus and electronic device, and system including same

An input device which includes a sensor, a microphone, a communicator, and a processor configured to, based on an operation of a user being identified based on a value sensed through the sensor, transmit utterance intention sensing information to an electronic device, based on a command to initiate a speech recognition and feedback information being received from the electronic device according to the utterance intention sensing information transmitted to the electronic device, activate the microphone and provide a feedback according to the feedback information, and transmit a voice signal received via the microphone to the electronic device.

Input device, electronic device, system comprising the same and control method thereof

A remote controller is provided. The remote controller includes an input interface; a communicator; a storage; and a processor configured to: transmit, to the display apparatus via the communicator, a signal indicating control instructions based on a user input received through the input interface, receive, from the display apparatus via the communicator, information related to a first control code for controlling a first source device of the at least one source device based on the control instructions, identify the first control code from a first control code set stored in the storage based on the information related to the first control code, and control the communicator to transmit a first control signal indicating the first control code to the first source device.

Remote controller, display apparatus, system and method for controlling thereof

A remote controller includes a communicator and a processor configured to control the communicator to transmit an identification information request signal to a plurality of electronic apparatuses paired with the remote controller. Based on a signal that includes identification information being received from two or more of the plurality of electronic apparatuses in response to the identification information request signal, the processor controls the communicator to identify a direction of the remote controller based on a direction from which each of the signals is received. The processor causes communication to be performed via an exclusive communication channel between the remote controller and one of the plurality of electronic apparatuses based on the identified direction.

Remote controller and control method thereof

A remote control apparatus is provided. The remote control apparatus according to an embodiment includes a microphone, a communicator comprising communication circuitry configured to transmit a first advertising packet, and to receive a second advertising packet including respective addresses of a plurality of electronic apparatuses from the plurality of electronic apparatuses in response to transmission of the first advertising packet, and a processor configured to, based on the second advertising packet being received, determine a priority based on reception characteristic of the second advertising packet, and transmit a third advertising packet including a sound output request and an address of an electronic apparatus determined based on the priority from among the received addresses of the plurality of electronic apparatuses through the communicator, and based on sound output from an electronic apparatus being received through the microphone in response to transmission of the third advertising packet, to control the communicator to perform a pairing with the electronic apparatus which outputs the sound.

Remote control, electronic apparatus and pairing method thereof

An image display apparatus and a method of operating the same are provided. The image display apparatus includes a display configured to display a screen, and a communicator configured to communicate with a control device. The image display apparatus further includes a processor configured to control the communicator to transmit an activation signal to the control device, in response to the image display apparatus being in a pre-set state, control the communicator to receive a control signal corresponding to a wheel key input that is sensed by the control device in response to the activation signal being transmitted, and control an operation of the image display apparatus, according to an interaction that is determined based on the control signal that is received and state information of the screen.
