  • DEVICE, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING ACTIONS ON IOT DEVICES
    Publication number: 20230385377
    Abstract: A method of controlling an Internet of Things (IoT) device to perform an action, is performed by an electronic device and includes obtaining at least one input from a user, based on a predefined action corresponding to the obtained at least one input being not identifiable, transmitting the obtained at least one input to a server, receiving, from the server, information regarding at least one activity that is mapped to at least one IoT device that is identified based on the transmitted at least one input, and information regarding at least one object and/or at least one context, and identifying an action to be performed on an IoT device among the at least one IoT device, based on a correlation between the obtained at least one input and the at least one activity mapped to the at least one IoT device.
