Abstract

An electronic device and method are disclosed herein. The electronic device includes a network interface and processor. The processor implements the method, including receiving a voice input through a network interface as transmitted from a first external device, including a request to execute a function using at least one application which is not indicated in the voice input, extracting a first text from the voice input by executing automatic speech recognition (ASR), when the at least one application is identified based on the first text, transmitting, through the network interface to the first external device, second data associated with the identified at least one application for display by the first external device, and when the at least one application is not identified based at least in part on the first text, reattempting identification of the at least one application by executing natural language understanding (NLU) on the first text.
