Method and apparatus for processing user request

An electronic device for processing a user request, the electronic device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor coupled to the memory and configured to:
• detect one or more topics, wherein each of the one or more topics is related to a time and a context,
• receive the user request,
• analyze the user request to detect a user intent and time information,
• identify a topic associated with the user intent among the one or more topics based on a context of the topic,
• determine one or more applications matching at least one of the user intent or the identified topic associated with the user intent,
• determine, based on the identified topic and match between the user intent and a weather forecast, a post event time period as a time before a time point corresponding to the time information, wherein the post event time period is determined in accordance with a time of the identified topic, and
• launch at least one among the one or more applications at the post event time period,
• wherein the launching of the at least one among the one or more applications comprises launching the at least one among the one or more applications during multiple occasions prior to the time point corresponding to the time information and close to the time point corresponding to the time information.

A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store one or more computer programs including instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to control for:

• learning one or more topics by an electronic device, wherein each of the one or more topics is related to a time and a context;
• receiving a user request;
• analyzing the user request to detect a user intent and time information;
• identifying a topic associated with the user intent among the one or more topics based on a context of the topic;
• determining one or more applications matching at least one of the user intent or the identified topic associated with the user intent;
• determining, based on the identified topic and matching between the user intent and a weather forecast, a post event time period as a time before a time point corresponding to the time information, wherein the post event time period is determined in accordance with a time of the identified topic;
• and
• launching at least one among the one or more applications at the post event time period,
• wherein the launching of the at least one among the one or more applications comprises launching the at least one among the one or more applications during multiple occasions prior to the time point corresponding to the time information and close to the time point corresponding to the time information.
