Abstract

An electronic apparatus configured, on the assumption of its sharing by a plurality of users, to provide a plurality of functions, in which normal operations and interrupt operations based on a user's voice can be performed is provided. The apparatus comprises: a voice inputting unit for inputting a user's voice; a storing unit for storing at least a predetermined type of operation for each of a plurality of users; a voice decoding unit for decoding input voice information; a determining unit for determining if the decoded voice describes a type of operation or describes a type of operation and a word “interrupt”; a command outputting unit for outputting: a command which allows a processing involved in the type of operation to be executed, at least when the determining unit determines that the decoded voice describes a type of operation in the storing unit. Wherein, the command outputting outputs a command which makes the processing in execution suspended and allows a processing involved in the type of operation specified with the “interrupt” to be executed as a priority, when the determining unit determines that the decoded voice describes a type of operation in the storing unit and a word “interrupt” while the processing involved in a type of operation is executed. The command outputting unit outputs a command which allows the suspended processing to be resumed, after the processing specified by the “interrupt” is completed.
