Abstract: There is provided a method for providing a target position for a robotic speaker in an environment. The method includes receiving sensor information from one or more sensors related to the environment, obtaining at least one of initiation gesture information, position information, and face direction information based on the sensor information, the face direction information related to one or more users present in the environment, obtaining the target position of the robotic speaker in the environment by performing a calibration process based on the at least one of initiation gesture information, position information, or face direction information and one or more and acoustic properties of the environment, and positioning the robotic speaker at the target position.

Abstract: A method for providing augmented reality (AR) recommendations to a user by an electronic device include displaying, by the electronic device, an image on a screen of the electronic device, identifying, by the electronic device, at least one real world object in the image, determining, by the electronic device, at least one function of at least one application installed in the electronic device based on the at least one identified real world object, and augmenting, by the electronic device, the at least one function of the at least one application as an AR recommendation over the image.

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.
