Abstract: A method performed by an electronic device for providing an appropriate alternate receiver to perform one or more input events in an Internet of Things (IOT) environment is provided. The method includes performing one or more actions including determining essentiality and classifying the one or more input events and determining expected response for the one or more input events, determining current availability of a receiver for the one or more input events, predicting response of the receiver to the one or more input events, based on current availability of the receiver with respect to the expected response.

Abstract: A method by an electronic device is provided. The method includes identifying, by the electronic device, brightness information corresponding to each of a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) light devices, categorizing, by the electronic device, the plurality of IoT light devices into at least one category based on the brightness information of each IoT light device of the plurality of IoT light devices and location information of each IoT light device of the plurality of IoT light devices, receiving, by the electronic device, a user input selecting a lighting effect from a plurality of lighting effects and an effect level, and updating, by the electronic device, information on the at least one category of the plurality of IoT light devices based on the lighting effect, the effect level and the brightness information.

Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a memory, a user interface, and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to determine an optimal domain from a plurality of domains based on a current context, combine the current context and a historical context of the optimal domain to determine a combined context, determine an optimal feature from a plurality of features based on the combined context and a parameter of the optimal domain, and control the user interface to output a recommendation message for the optimal feature.
