Publication number: 20220044690Abstract: A portable communication device is provided. A memory stores a first voice recognition module and a second voice recognition module. The first voice recognition module is capable of recognizing a wake-up voice command to activate the second voice recognition module. The second voice recognition module is capable of recognizing a plurality of voice commands other than the wake-up voice command. A processor is configured to recognize, using the first voice recognition module, the wake-up voice command from a first voice input, and activate the second voice recognition module. The processor is also configured to transmit, using the second voice recognition module, a second voice input to an external electronic device. The processor is further configured to recognize, using the second voice recognition module, a second voice command from a third voice input while a specified application is executed, and perform a specified function corresponding to the second voice command.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2021Publication date: February 10, 2022Inventors: Sang-Hoon LEE, Hyuk KANG, Kyung-Tae KIM, Seong-Min JE, Seok-Yeong JUNG
