Abstract
An electronic device and method are disclosed, including a communication circuit, a speaker, a microphone and a processor. The processor implements the method, including receiving a first voice input through the microphone, executing first voiceprint authentication on the first voice input including determining whether the first voice input matches voice information corresponding to a user stored in the electronic device, when the first voice input does not match the voice information, transmit a request message to at least one external electronic device for execution of a second voiceprint authentication, receive a response message indicating whether the first voice input is authenticated under the second voiceprint authentication, receive a second voice input through the microphone, and transmit second data related to the second voice input to an external server through the communication circuit for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) or Natural Language Understanding (NLU) on the second data.
