Abstract

According to various embodiments, an electronic device performing an operation corresponding to an utterance of a user in a multi-device environment includes a communication module, a processor, and a memory. The processor operates a first electronic device for receiving and a second electronic device for executing in association with each other. The memory stores instructions that, when being executed, cause the processor to: determine whether a first utterance received at the first electronic device should be performed at the second electronic device; when the first utterance should be performed at the second electronic device, form a connection binding with the first electronic device and the second electronic device by using one or more channels through the communication module. When an operation corresponding to the first utterance is completed at the second electronic device, the processor terminates the connection binding with the first electronic device and the second electronic device.
