    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a processor and a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to obtain information of a wireless audio device wirelessly connectable to the electronic device, determine whether an utterance of a user is a device-controlling utterance for a target device which is a target of remote control in response to the information of the wireless audio device, and suggest switching a connection of the wireless audio device to the target device based on an intent in the utterance of the user. Other example embodiments, in addition to the foregoing example embodiment, are also applicable.

    Abstract: According to an example embodiment, an electronic device includes: a memory storing instructions and a processor electrically connected to the memory and configured to execute the instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: determine whether an utterance is a device-controlling utterance for a target device to be remotely controlled, verify a distance between the electronic device and the target device based on the utterance being the device-controlling utterance, and output an object generated differently based on whether the distance is a short distance less than or equal to a specified distance or a long distance greater than the specified distance.
