Abstract
According to one embodiment, in response to a text stream originated from a user at an electronic device (e.g., home device), a natural language processing (NLP) operation is performed on the text stream. An object described by the text stream is determined based on the NLP operation. One or more colors associated with the object are determined. A light control command is then transmitted from the electronic device to each of the smart lights to control a color of the smart light based on the one or more colors associated with the object, such that the smart lights are lit with the colors associated with the object. The text stream may be converted from a voice stream using a speech recognition process.
