<p>PURPOSE: A television for speech recognition and a control method thereof are provided to allow the television apparatus to operate in accordance with a unit of language having the operable superordinate concept or make the television apparatus operate after changing the operation mode when a unit of language uttered by a user is unacceptable. CONSTITUTION: A television apparatus includes a television control unit(114), an image signal processing unit(118), an image/voice input converting unit(120), a UHF/VHF tuner(125), a UV program information data gain unit(126), a BS digital tuner(122) and a BS digital program information data gain unit(123). The television apparatus judges whether the television is capable of operating in accordance with a speech code which is accepted under the current operation mode or not, and operates under the operation mode when the television is capable of operating. When the television is not capable of operating, if the speech code has an operable superordinate concept, the television apparatus operates in accordance with the speech code having the operable superordinate concept. If a speech code having an operable superordinate concept doesn't exist, the television apparatus further decides possibility of operation by changing the operation mode. If operation is possible after the operation mode is changed, the television apparatus operates under the post-change operation mode.</p> |
