A refrigerator includes a main body having a storage space provided with an opening, and doors by which the opening is opened or closed; a voice input section for inputting speech through an interior voice input unit installed at the inside of the main body and an exterior voice input unit installed at the outside of the main body; a control unit for controlling the state of the refrigerator by analyzing the inputted speech; and an output section displaying the state information of the refrigerator. Accordingly, since the state and the operation of the refrigerator are controlled by receiving a control command by speech input regardless of whether the door is opened or closed, it is capable of reducing a user's inconvenience due to manipulation of the control panel. |
