ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR EXECUTING FUNCTION USING SPEECH RECOGNITION THEREOF

摘要

An electronic device and a method for using speech recognition are provided. The electronic device includes an input device, a touch screen display, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores a first software program that can be triggered in response to a first user input, and instructions which when executed by the processor, configures the processor to control for receiving a second user input that is different from the first user input through the input device and a selected region on the display, switching the electronic device to a state where the electronic device can receive a speech through the microphone in response to the second user input, receiving the speech from an external source through the microphone in the state, and executing the first software program using at least a part of the received speech without receiving the first user input.

主权项

1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing having a first surface and a second surface that is directed toward an opposite direction to the first surface; a microphone arranged to receive sound from an external source; at least one input device arranged on the housing; a touch screen display arranged on the first surface of the housing; a processor electrically connected to the microphone, the at least one input device, and the display; and a memory electrically connected to the processor, wherein the memory stores a first software program that can be triggered in response to a first user input, and wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the processor, configures the processor to control for:
receiving a second user input that is different from the first user input through at least one of the at least one input device and a selected region on the display,switching the electronic device to a state in which the electronic device can receive a speech through the microphone in response to the second user input,receiving the speech from the external source through the microphone, andexecuting the first software program using at least a part of the received speech without receiving the first user input.
