In an aspect, when a standby or idle device detects that a user gazes at it, it starts showing contents on a display. In other aspects, when a standby or idle device detects that a user shakes it, taps on it, or speaks to it, plus that the user gazes at it, the device begins to show contents on a display. The contents may include advertisements. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method performed for executing or implementing a voice command via an electronic device, comprising: 1) receiving at the electronic device a voice input using a voice recognition technique; 2) ascertaining whether the voice input matches a given profile or given conditions; and 3) executing or implementing the voice command via the electronic device when it is detected that the voice input matches the given profile or given conditions and a user looks at a direction toward the electronic device, the voice input comprises a predetermined code and a name of the electronic device, or the voice input comprises a name of the electronic device and comes from a user, wherein the voice input includes content related to the voice command. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1 further including turning on gaze-sensing after it is detected that the voice input matches the given profile or given conditions. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the voice command is executed or implemented via the electronic device when it is detected that the voice input matches the given profile or given conditions and the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device within a given time period before the voice input is received. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the voice command is executed or implemented via the electronic device when it is detected that the voice input matches the given profile or given conditions and the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device within a given time period after the voice input is received. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the voice command is executed or implemented via the electronic device when it is detected that the voice input matches the given profile or given conditions and the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device during a period of time when the voice input is received. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1 further including detecting a source location of the voice input by measuring and analyzing sound waves. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The method according to claim 6 further including determining that a target at the source location is the user via an identity recognition mechanism. ### Claim 8 A method performed for processing a voice input via an electronic device, comprising: 1) receiving at the electronic device the voice input using a voice recognition technique; 2) ascertaining whether the voice input comprises a task; and 3) executing or implementing the task via the electronic device when it is detected that the voice input comprises the task and a user looks at a direction toward the electronic device, the voice input comprises a predetermined code and a name of the electronic device, or the voice input comprises a name of the electronic device and comes from a user. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8 further including turning on gaze-sensing after it is detected that the voice input matches a given profile or given conditions. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, wherein the task is executed or implemented via the electronic device when it is detected that the voice input comprises the task and the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device within a given time period before the voice input is received. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, wherein the task is executed or implemented via the electronic device when it is detected that the voice input comprises the task and the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device within a given time period after the voice input is received. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8, wherein the task is executed or implemented via the electronic device when it is detected that the voice input comprises the task and the user looks at a direction toward the electronic device during a period of time when the voice input is received. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The method according to claim 8 further including detecting a source location of the voice input by measuring and analyzing sound waves. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The method according to claim 13 further including determining that a target at the source location is the user via an identity recognition mechanism. ### Claim 15 An electronic apparatus comprising: a processor; and a memory device coupled to the processor, the processor operable when executing certain instructions to: 1) receive a voice input using a voice recognition technique; 2) ascertain whether the voice input comprises a task; and 3) execute or implement the task via the apparatus when it is detected that the voice input comprises the task and a user looks at a direction toward the apparatus, the voice input comprises a predetermined code and a name of the apparatus, or the voice input comprises a name of the apparatus and comes from a user. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The apparatus according to claim 15, wherein gaze-sensing is turned on after it is detected that the voice input matches a given profile or given conditions. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the task is executed or implemented when it is detected that the voice input comprises the task and the user looks at a direction toward the apparatus within a given time period before or after the voice input is received. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the task is executed or implemented when it is detected that the voice input comprises the task and the user looks at a direction toward the apparatus during a period of time when the voice input is received. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The apparatus according to claim 15, wherein a source location of the voice input is detected by measuring and analyzing sound waves. ### Claim 20 (depends on 19) The apparatus according to claim 19, wherein the user is detected at the source location via an identity recognition mechanism.
