a memory; and a processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: control the electronic device to copy a signal acquired from the microphone, record a first signal, and perform voice recognition on a second signal based on a recording operation being executed, determine an editing section including unnecessary information in the first signal based on a voice recognition result for the second signal, and generate recording data by editing the unnecessary information in the determined editing section in the first signal. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the editing section including the unnecessary information includes at least one of a wakeup utterance input section, a control command utterance input section, and a private information utterance section. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the recording operation includes at least one of an audio recording operation or a video recording operation. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further includes instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: provide a configuration object supporting activation and deactivation of a function of editing unnecessary information to a user interface screen. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further includes instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: perform editing such that a total length of the first signal is maintained and both a voice and a background sound in an editing section including unnecessary information are muted. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further includes instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: perform editing such that a total length of the first signal is maintained but a volume of a voice signal is reduced and a background sound is maintained in a section including unnecessary information in the first signal. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further includes instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: perform editing such that a total length of the first signal is maintained and volumes of a voice signal and a background sound are reduced in a section including unnecessary information in the first signal. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further includes instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: perform editing such that all pieces of data in the editing section including the unnecessary information are deleted from a total length of the first signal. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further includes instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: provide a user interface screen related to a configuration for editing the unnecessary information to a display, and edit the unnecessary information in the determined editing section in the first signal through an editing processing scheme selected by a received input. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The electronic device of claim 1, wherein the memory further includes instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to: control a display to display a guidance user interface for selecting approval or rejection of editing of the unnecessary information in response to reception of a recording end request, and edit the unnecessary information in the first signal in response to reception of an editing approval input. ### Claim 11 A method of processing recording and a voice input by an electronic device, the method comprising: copying a signal acquired from the microphone, recording a first signal, and performing voice recognition on a second signal based on a recording operation being executed; determining an editing section including unnecessary information in the first signal based on a voice recognition result for the second signal; and storing recording data by editing the unnecessary information included in the determined editing section in the first signal. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the editing section including the unnecessary information includes at least one of a wakeup utterance input section, a control command utterance input section, and a private information utterance section. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the recording operation includes at least one of an audio recording operation or a video recording operation. ### Claim 14 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the determining of the editing section further comprises: comparing recording data generated, based on the first signal, with voice recognition result information processed, based on the second signal, identifying at least one of a wakeup utterance section, a control command utterance section, or a section including private information in the recording data, and determining the editing section. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, further comprising: providing a configuration item supporting activation and deactivation of a function of editing unnecessary information to a user interface screen, wherein the unnecessary information is edited in response to an input for making a request for activating the function of editing the unnecessary information. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the editing of the unnecessary information comprises: performing editing such that a total length of the first signal is maintained and both a voice and a background sound in an editing section including unnecessary information are muted. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the editing of the unnecessary information comprises: performing editing such that a total length of the first signal is maintained and a volume of a voice signal is reduced and a background sound is maintained or volumes of the voice signal and the background sound are reduced in a section including unnecessary information in the first signal. ### Claim 18 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the editing of the unnecessary information comprises performing editing such that whole data in the editing section including the unnecessary information is deleted from a total length of the first signal. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the editing of the unnecessary information comprises: providing a user interface screen related to a configuration for editing the unnecessary information to a display, and editing the editing section including the unnecessary information in the first signal through an editing processing scheme selected by a received input. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The method of claim 11, wherein the editing of the unnecessary information further comprises: displaying a guidance user interface for selecting approval or rejection of editing of the unnecessary information in response to reception of a recording end request, and the unnecessary information is edited in the first signal in response to reception of an editing approval input.
