TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001]
The present disclosure relates to an artificial intelligence device connected to a plurality of terminals to determine a terminal to perform a function corresponding to a command word in an environment in which the function corresponding to the command word is provided to a user.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002]
Artificial intelligence is a field of computer engineering and information technology involving studying how computers can think, learn and self-develop in ways similar to human intelligence, and means that computers can emulate intelligent actions of humans.
[0003]
In addition, artificial intelligence does not exist by itself but is directly or indirectly associated with the other fields of computer science. In particular, many attempts have been made to introduce elements of artificial intelligence into various fields of information technology.
[0004]
Meanwhile, in the related art, context awareness technology for recognizing a user's situation using artificial intelligence and providing desired information of a user in a desired form has actively been studied.
[0005]
With development of the context awareness technology, there is an increasing need for a terminal capable of performing a function appropriate to the user's situation.
[0006]
Meanwhile, electronic devices for providing various operations and functions to users through speech recognition by combining user's speech recognition and context awareness technology are increasing. Such electronic devices may be referred to as artificial intelligence devices.
[0007]
In addition, the artificial intelligence device may use other peripheral devices as an output unit of various operations and functions. For example, the artificial intelligence device disposed in the home may output music through a Bluetooth speaker or output a search result through other devices.
[0008]
In this case, user convenience may be enhanced depending on through which device a function corresponding to a command word of a user is output.
INVENTION Technical Problem
[0009]
An object of the present disclosure devised to solve the problem lies in an artificial intelligence device connected to a plurality of terminals to determine a terminal to perform a function corresponding to a command word in an environment in which the function corresponding to the command word is provided to a user.
Technical Solution
[0010]
An artificial intelligence device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a communication interface configured to communicate with a plurality of devices, a microphone configured to receive voice, an artificial intelligence interface configured to acquire a command word and determine a device for performing a function corresponding to the command word among the plurality of devices based on at least one of a user who has uttered the command word or a type of the function corresponding to the command word, and a controller configured to transmit a command for performing the function corresponding to the command word to the determined device.
Effect of the Invention
[0011]
According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide direct feedback to a user who wants to receive a function, by distinguishing a speaker who has uttered a command word and outputting a function corresponding to a command word to a personal device of the speaker who has uttered the command word.
