Abstract

An electronic device and an utterance processing method of the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a microphone that receives a first and a second utterance of a user, the second utterance being generated at a later point in time than the first utterance, a memory storing instructions, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to execute the instructions to extract a first domain corresponding to the first utterance and a first intent corresponding to the first utterance, determine a correlation between the first utterance and the second utterance, and determine whether to process the second utterance based on the correlation.
