  • Patent number: 10908763
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for generating one or more path rules or combination or path rules for performing the operations of an application. According to various embodiments, a user terminal through an intelligence server may generate a path rule and may perform the operation of an application based on the path rule to provide a service. The user terminal may provide a user with the processing status of a user utterance and may receive an additional user input to process the user utterance. For example, when a keyword (or parameter) required to process the user utterance is insufficient, the user terminal may provide the user with a state requiring additional information and may output feedback corresponding to the insufficient state in order to receive the necessary information from the user.
