Disclosed are a display apparatus, a voice acquiring apparatus and a voice recognition method thereof, the display apparatus including: a display unit which displays an image; a communication unit which communicates with a plurality of external apparatuses; and a controller which includes a voice recognition engine to recognize a user's voice, receives a voice signal from a voice acquiring unit, and controls the communication unit to receive candidate instruction words from at least one of the plurality of external apparatuses to recognize the received voice signal.

Display apparatus, voice acquiring apparatus and voice recognition method thereof

The present disclosure is related to technology for a sensor network, machine to machine (M2M) communication, machine type communication (MTC), and Internet of Things (IoT). Provided is a method, performed by a server, of transmitting and receiving data, in which, as a transmission authority request is received from at least one terminal from among a plurality of terminals connected to the server, a number of transmitting terminals previously determined by the server is compared with a maximum number of transmitting terminals allowable by the server, in response to the transmission authority request, and a transmission authority of the at least one terminal is determined based on a result of the comparing. The present disclosure are applicable to intelligent services based on the technology (e.g., smart home, smart building, smart city, smart car or connected car, health care, digital education, retail business, security, and safety-related service).

Method, server, and terminal for transmitting and receiving data

A terminal and a method of connecting terminals in a predetermined space are provided. The terminal includes a first communication interface configured to transmit a signal for executing input applications of a plurality of terminals through a first communication scheme; a second communication interface configured to broadcast information about the first terminal through a second communication scheme; and a processor configured to generate a list of terminals located in the predetermined space, based on responses from terminals that received the information about the first terminal through the second communication scheme.

Method of connecting terminals in predetermined space and terminal therefor

The present disclosure proposes a method capable of, when a user simultaneously selects several PTT channels even in an apparatus not supporting a display, identifying the several PTT channels using alarm sounds for the PTT channels to transmit voices and distinguishing through which PTT channel a received voice is received, and a PTT terminal supporting the same. The present disclosure provides a push-to-talk (PTT) communication method, comprising: a step of connecting multiple PTT channels for communications between terminals; a step of storing history information representing received time of voice data through the multiple PTT channels; a step of selecting a PTT channel on the basis of the history information with respect to the multiple PTT channels, if an input of a PTT button is sensed; and a step of transmitting voice data to the selected PTT channel.

PTT communication method and apparatus through multiple PTT channels

Disclosed are an electronic apparatus and a voice recognition method for the same. The voice recognition method for the electronic apparatus includes: receiving an input voice of a user; determining characteristics of the user; and recognizing the input voice based on the determined characteristics of the user.

Electronic apparatus and voice recognition method for the same

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a motion recognition unit which recognizes motion of an object and a control unit which, if a push motion in which the object located in front of the electronic device is moved in a direction of the electronic device is sensed by the motion recognition unit, activates a motion recognition mode, tracks the motion of the object, and performs a control operation of the electronic device corresponding to a subsequent motion of the object. The control unit may inactivate the motion recognition mode if an end motion in which the motion of the object is in a direction to contact a body part of a user or an additional object is recognized by the motion recognition unit while the motion recognition mode is activated. Furthermore a voice recognition mode may be activated by recognition of a motion different from the push motion.

Electronic device controlled by a motion and controlling method thereof using different motions to activate voice versus motion recognition

A user location-based display method and apparatus are provided. The display method includes the steps of determining a location of a user relative to a display apparatus, configuring and displaying a screen based on the location of the user, selectively extracting user information based on the location of the user, and changing the displayed screen based on the extracted user information. As a result, a realistic interaction is possible between the display apparatus and the user, and the user is provided with contents in a very effective manner. The user location-based display apparatus includes a location recognizing unit which determines a location of a user relative to the display apparatus. A control unit causes a screen to be configured and displayed based on the location of the user; causes user information to be selectively extracted based on the location of the user, and is configured to cause a displayed screen to be changed based on the extracted user information.

User location-based display method and apparatus

An electronic device and a control method thereof are disclosed, the electronic device including: an operation implementation unit conducting a predetermined operation; a first main controller controlling the operation of the operation implementation unit; an input reception unit receiving an input signal; a second main controller processing the input signal and being in the power saving state in the standby mode; and a subcontroller controlling the second main controller to process the input signal when the input signal is received in the standby mode, wherein the second main controller processes the received input signal according to control of the subcontroller, controls the first main controller to operate in the normal mode when the input signal corresponds to entering the normal mode, and returns to the power saving state in the standby mode when the input signal does not correspond to entering the normal mode.

Electronic device and control method thereof

A video communication method includes: acquiring a plurality of 2D images corresponding to a talker using a 3D camera; adjusting a point of convergence of the plurality of 2D images using a feature point of the talker; detecting an object located between the talker and the 3D camera using the acquired plurality of 2D images; scaling an original sense of depth of the detected object to a new sense of depth; and generating a 3D talker image including the object with the new sense of depth and transmitting the 3D talker image to a 3D video communication apparatus of a listener.

3D video communication apparatus and method for video processing of 3D video communication apparatus

An image providing apparatus includes: a user location acquisition unit which acquires locations of users; a barrier adjustment unit which adjusts at least one of a space between a display and a barrier screen, a size of a barrier slot, and a left/right movement amount of the barrier slot at least based on a user's location of at least one of the users; an image generation unit which generates an image of which a view point region is adjusted, by the barrier adjustment unit, to the user's location; and an image output unit which outputs the generated image on a display.
