Abstract: Disclosed are an electronic device and a method of controlling a text-to-speech (TTS) rate. An electronic device may include a processor, and a memory configured to store instructions to be executed by the processor. The processor may receive a voice signal of a user. The processor may calculate a speaking rate of the voice signal based on the voice signal. The processor may generate an output text to be output to the user based on the voice signal. The processor may determine a TTS rate of the output text based on the speaking rate. The processor may convert the output text into voice data based on the TTS rate and output the voice data.

Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed that, in response to at least one of an utterance intent and a control target device not being identified from utterance data, classifies a situation factor based on the utterance data, determines one or more external devices that match the classified situation factor, and generates and presents to the user terminal one or more action scenarios for one or more external devices determined for the classified situation factor.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a processor, and memory that stores instructions. The processor executes the instructions to acquire utterance data of a user, the utterance data including a quick command and an edit command for editing a task, identify a plurality of tasks associated with the quick command by using the quick command, edit the tasks associated with the quick command by excluding one task from among the plurality of tasks or adding a new task to the plurality of tasks based on the edit command, and perform the edited plurality of tasks.

Abstract: An electronic device and a method for controlling the same are provided. The electronic device includes a microphone, a memory storing at least one instruction and dialogue history information, and a processor configured to be connected to the microphone and the memory and control the electronic device, in which the processor, by executing the at least one instruction, is configured to, based on a user's voice being input via the microphone, obtain response information for generating a response sentence to the user's voice, select at least one template phrase for generating the response sentence to the user's voice based on the stored dialogue history information, generate the response sentence using the response information and the at least one template phrase, and output the generated response sentence.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided and includes a processor and a memory operatively connected to the processor. The memory stores instructions that cause, when executed, the processor to acquire a first assistant result including data indicative of a first intent understood from an utterance of a first user, data indicative of an attribute of the utterance, first information provided to a terminal of the first user as a response of an artificial intelligence (AI) agent to the utterance, and a first parameter indicative of an attribute of the first information, to recognize the utterance as an information request utterance, based on the first intent and the attribute, and to track second information to be provided to the first user terminal as update information for the first information, based on the utterance being recognized as the information request utterance and the first parameter being identified as a specified type.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes an output device, at least one processor operatively connected to the output device, and a memory operatively connected to the at least one processor. The memory may store instructions that cause at least one processor to output a natural language response based on main information selected from raw data depending on a context. Other various embodiments as understood from the specification are also possible.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for preparing paraffin, and can provide a method for preparing paraffin including a hydrogenation step of by-products of a process for preparing linear alpha olefins. Since the method for preparing paraffin of the present invention can convert the by-products of the process for preparing linear alpha olefins to paraffin at a high conversion ratio, it is possible to increase the added value of the by-products.
