Method, electronic device, and system for immersive experience

A method, performed by an Internet of Things (IoT) gateway, for controlling at least one IoT device, the method comprising:

• determining a Special Effect (SFX) instruction from a media stream;
• determining, according to the SFX instruction, at least one IoT device that is able to provide at least one special effect corresponding to the SFX instruction;
• and
• transmitting to the at least one IoT device an IoT device specific command corresponding to the SFX instruction.

An electronic device for controlling at least one Internet of Things (IoT) device, the electronic device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory containing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• determine a Special Effect (SFX) instruction from a media stream,
• determine, according to the SFX instruction, at least one IoT device that is able to provide at least one special effect corresponding to the SFX instruction, and
• transmit to the at least one IoT device an IoT device specific command corresponding to the SFX instruction.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored therein, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor (506) to perform operations by an Internet of Things (IoT), the operations comprising:

• determining a Special Effect (SFX) instruction form a media stream;
• determining, according to the SFX instruction, at least one IoT device that is able to provide at least one special effect corresponding to the SFX instruction;
• and
• transmitting to the at least one IoT device an IoT device specific command corresponding to the SFX instruction.

An electronic device for providing a Special Effect (SFX), the electronic device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory containing instructions which, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to:
• receive an Internet of Things (IoT) device specific command corresponding to an SFX instruction which is determined from a media stream;
• and
• execute the IoT device specific command to provide the SFX.
