## Abstract

An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a display, a microphone, a memory, a communication circuitry, and a processor. The processor receives a voice input of a user via the microphone, displays a first response corresponding to the voice input on the display, receives a first user input, displays a user interface for changing at least one parameter associated with the voice input, in response to the first user input, receives a second user input via the user interface, and displays a second response corresponding to the voice input on the display based on a value of the at least one parameter, the value being selected by the second user input.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An electronic device, comprising:
a display;
a microphone;
a memory;
a communication circuitry; and
at least one processor,
wherein the memory storing one or more computer programs configured to be executed by the at least one processor,
the one or more computer programs including instructions to:
receive a voice input of a user via the microphone,
determine whether the voice input comprises at least one option parameter having a plurality of possible values,
when the voice input comprises the at least one option parameter, determine a first value of the at least one option parameter from the plurality of possible values depending on a specified rule,
display, on the display, a first response corresponding to the first value of the at least one option parameter in the voice input and an object for changing a value of the at least one option parameter,
receive a first user input on the object,
display, on the display, a user interface for changing the first value of the at least one option parameter associated with the voice input, in response to the first user input,
receive a second user input via the user interface, and
display, on the display, a second response corresponding to the voice input based on a second value of the at least one option parameter, the second value being selected by the second user input.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the user interface includes a list of the at least one option parameter or a list of values to which the at least one option parameter is changeable.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the user interface comprises a pop-up window including a list of values to which the at least one option parameter is changeable.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the one or more computer programs further include instructions to change the second value of the at least one option parameter by an additional voice input after receiving the voice input.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the one or more computer programs further include instructions to:
transmit the first value of the at least one option parameter to an external server via the communication circuitry, and
receive the first response or the second response.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The electronic device of claim 5, wherein the one or more computer programs further include instructions to:
receive the first response or the second response associated with executing an application which is not installed on the electronic device.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the one or more computer programs further include instructions to:
display the user interface including an image associated with the at least one option parameter.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the one or more computer programs further include instructions to:
display a first object for changing a screen to the first response together with the second response.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The electronic device of claim 8, wherein the one or more computer programs further include instructions to:
after the screen is changed by a user input which occurs on the first object, display a second object for changing the screen to the second response together with the first response.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the first user input comprises a swipe input in a specified direction.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the one or more computer programs further include instructions to:
display the object as an icon or text associated with the at least one option parameter.

### Claim 12

A speech recognition method performed in an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving a voice input of a user via a microphone of the electronic device,
determining whether the voice input comprises at least one option parameter having a plurality of possible values;
when the voice input comprises the at least one option parameter, determining a first value of the at least one option parameter from the plurality of possible values depending on a specified rule;
displaying, on a display of the electronic device, a first response corresponding to the first value of the at least one option parameter in the voice input and an object for changing a value of the at least one option parameter;
receiving a first user input on the object;
displaying a user interface for changing the first value of the at least one option parameter associated with the voice input, in response to the first user input;
receiving a second user input via the user interface; and
displaying, on the display, a second response corresponding to the voice input based on a second value of the at least one option parameter, the second value being selected by the second user input.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, further comprising:
changing the second value of the at least one option parameter by an additional voice input after receiving the voice input.

### Claim 14 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12,
wherein the displaying of the first response includes:
transmitting the first value of the at least one option parameter to an external server; and
receiving the first response, and
wherein the displaying of the second response includes:
transmitting the selected second value of the option parameter to the external server; and
receiving the second response.

### Claim 15 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12,
wherein the displaying of the first response includes receiving the first response associated with executing an application which is not installed on the electronic device, and
wherein the displaying of the second response includes receiving the second response associated with executing an application which is not installed on the electronic device.

### Claim 16 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the displaying of the user interface includes displaying the user interface including an image associated with the at least one option parameter.

### Claim 17 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the displaying of the second response includes displaying a first object for changing a screen to the first response together with the second response.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The method of claim 17, further comprising:
after the screen is changed by a user input which occurs on the first object, displaying a second object for changing the screen to the second response together with the first response.

### Claim 19 (depends on 12)

The method of claim 12, wherein the user interface includes a list of the at least one option parameter or a list of values to which the at least one option parameter is changeable.

### Claim 20 (depends on 1)
