Electronic Apparatus And Method Of Controlling The Same

Abstract

An electronic apparatus and a method of controlling the same are provided. The method comprises the steps of receiveing a user's current use state information including at least one of current user information and surrounding environment information, determining a user's current state by comparing the received current use state information with intention pattern information in which a user's intention is patterned and previously stored in association with a plurality of functions or information providable by the electronic apparatus, and automatically proposing a function corresponding to the determined user's state among the plurality of functions or information providable by the electronic apparatus. Thus, a user's intention or needs is determined to actively propose a proper function so that a user can conveniently use the function.

Description

technical field [0001] The devices and methods related to the exemplary embodiments disclosed herein relate to electronic devices and control methods thereof, and more particularly, to electronic devices and control methods thereof, in which user's intentions or needs can be determined in order to proactively propose appropriate functions , so that users can use this function conveniently. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology, electronic devices have provided more and more functions and information. [0003] However, if the user does not know the function or information of the electronic device, or the user has no intention of controlling the electronic device even if he / she knows the function or information, the function or information that the electronic device can provide is not performed. Currently, many functions supported by electronic devices have gradually disappeared because users do not know when the functions or information are availab...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] However, if the user does not know the function or information of the electronic device, or the user has no intention of controlling the electronic device, even if he / she knows the function or information, the function or information that the electronic device can provide is not performed

Currently, many functions supported by electronic devices have gradually disappeared because users do not know when the functions or information are available, are distressed to control the functions, and have difficulty learning all the functions

[0004] That is, even if the user has the intention or desire to use the function or information that the electronic device can provide, if she / he does not issue a specific command corresponding to the function or information, the The above functions or information cannot be used
