Abstract
Provided are an electronic device for providing operation state information of a household electrical device without network function and a method of operating the electronic device. Provided is an electronic device receiving a first sound signal output from a household electrical device through a microphone, detecting the first sound signal as a wake-up signal, identifying first operation state information corresponding to the first sound signal from memory, and outputting a notification message representing the first operation state information.
Claims15
An electronic device for providing information representing an operation state of a household electrical device, the electronic device comprising:
- a memory storing a plurality of sound signals output from at least one household electrical device as a plurality of wake-up signals, and storing a plurality of pieces of operation state information, respectively, representing a plurality of operation states of the at least one household electrical device, the plurality of operation states being related to the plurality of sound signals, respectively;
- and
- at least one processor operably coupled to the memory, the at least one processor configured to:
- receive, from among the plurality of sound signals through a microphone, a first sound signal from a first household electrical device,
- identify the first sound signal as a wake-up signal,
- identify first operation state information corresponding to the first sound signal based on the plurality of pieces of operation state information, and
- output, through an output interface, a notification message representing the first operation state information.
A method performed by an electronic device for providing information representing an operation state of a household electrical device, the method comprising:
- receiving a first sound signal from a first household electrical device;
- identifying the first sound signal as a wake-up signal;
- identifying first operation state information corresponding to the first sound signal, based on a plurality of pieces of operation state information stored in memory;
- outputting a notification message representing the first operation state information;
- storing, in the memory, a plurality of sound signals output from at least one household electrical device as a plurality of wake-up signals;
- and
- storing a plurality of pieces of operation state information, respectively, representing a plurality of operation states of the at least one household electrical device, the plurality of operation states being related to the plurality of sound signals, respectively.
A computer-readable recording medium embodying a computer program, the computer program comprising computer readable program code that when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device causes the at least one processor to:
- receive a first sound signal from a first household electrical device;
- identify the first sound signal as a wake-up signal;
- identify first operation state information corresponding to the first sound signal, based on a plurality of pieces of operation state information stored in memory;
- and
- output a notification message representing the first operation state information,
- wherein, the medium is configured to:
- store a plurality of sound signals output from at least one household electrical device as a plurality of wake-up signals, and
- store a plurality of pieces of operation state information respectively representing a plurality of operation states of the at least one household electrical device, the plurality of operation states being related to the plurality of sound signals, respectively.
