Abstract
A method for managing a remote electronic device using an electronic device. A database associates argument types with alternative argument values and includes a compatibility mesh between the alternative argument values for a given type and contextual data. The method includes: upon reception of a first user input, detecting at least one argument type in the first user input and contextual data; retrieving from the database the alternative argument values corresponding to the detected argument type; outputting a graphical instruction, the graphical instruction comprising a selectable element representing the detected argument type; upon detection of a second user input on the selectable element for selection of an alternative argument value, outputting retrieved alternative argument values being filtered using the compatibility mesh and the contextual data; and upon selection of one argument value, providing an instruction to the remote electronic device based on the selected argument value.
