Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling a device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may be based on a speech feature of a user reflecting the Lombard effect so as to operate a device located far away from the user, among a plurality of electronic devices. As such, even when the user calls a device located far away from the user without any separate context information, speech recognition neural networks and weight calculation neural networks may be selected and used to operate the device located far away from the user, and reception of a speech signal of the user calling a device located far away from the user may be performed in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment using a 5G network.
