An intelligent voice enable device searching method and apparatus are disclosed. A method for searching a plurality of voice enable devices according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes receiving first device information from a first device receiving a wake-up voice; searching a first account associated with the first device based on the first device information; searching devices of a first group registered in the first account; searching a second account associated with a second device other than the first device among the devices of the first group; searching devices of a second group registered in the second account; searching devices of a third group sharing an IP address with the devices of the first group or the devices of the second group; and selecting a voice enable device to respond to the wake-up voice among the devices of the first group, the second group, and the third group. The method has an effect that a device that responds to a wake-up voice may be searched more accurately than in a conventional approach.
A method for searching a plurality of voice enable devices included in a single communication network, performed by a voice enable devices searching apparatus, the method comprising:
An apparatus for searching a plurality of voice enable devices, the apparatus comprising:

This application is a National Stage application under 35 U.S.C. § 371 of International Application No. PCT/KR2019/005021, filed on Apr. 25, 2019. The disclosure of the prior application is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
The present disclosure relates to a voice enable device searching method and apparatus. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a voice enable device searching method and apparatus capable of accurately searching a target device without fail.
A voice recognition device is a device for voice recognition. In recent years, thanks to the development of mobile communication technology, a variety of technologies have been developed to recognize a wake-up voice uttered by the user and to control IoT (Internet of Things) equipment or devices using the result of analyzing the voice.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a wireless communication system to which the methods proposed herein may be applied.
FIG. 2 shows an example of a basic operation of an user equipment and a 5G network in a 5G communication system.
FIG. 3 illustrates an example of application operation of an user equipment and a 5G network in a 5G communication system.
Hereinafter, embodiments of the disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. The same or similar components are given the same reference numbers and redundant description thereof is omitted. The suffixes “module” and “unit” of elements herein are used for convenience of description and thus may be used interchangeably and do not have any distinguishable meanings or functions. Further, in the following description, if a detailed description of known techniques associated with the present disclosure would unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present disclosure, detailed description thereof will be omitted. In addition, the attached drawings are provided for easy understanding of embodiments of the disclosure and do not limit technical spirits of the disclosure, and the embodiments should be construed as including all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the embodiments.
While terms, such as “first”, “second”, etc., may be used to describe various components, such components must not be limited by the above terms. The above terms are used only to distinguish one component from another.
When an element is “coupled” or “connected” to another element, it should be understood that a third element may be present between the two elements although the element may be directly coupled or connected to the other element. When an element is “directly coupled” or “directly connected” to another element, it should be understood that no element is present between the two elements.
