Abstract

An electronic apparatus which registers a device to a server by using a voice, and a method therefor are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a communication circuit, a microphone, a memory for storing computer executable instructions, and at least one processor configured to execute the computer executable instructions to acquire, from a voice received through the microphone, information on an external device which a user wishes to register, based on an external device corresponding to the acquired information being searched through the communication circuit, control the communication circuit to transmit information on an access point to the external device to enable the external device to communicate with a server, and control the communication circuit to transmit a registration request with respect to the external device to the server.

Claims (38)

1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:

a communication circuit;

a memory for storing instructions; and

at least one processor electrically connected to the memory,

wherein the at least one processor, upon execution of the instructions, is configured to:

based on a first mode of an external device being turned on, establish communication with the external device,

based on the communication being established, control the communication circuit to transmit information on an access point to the external device to enable the external device to be registered in a server,

based on the external device being registered in the server, receive status information of the external device and control information to control the external device from the server at a time a smart home application is initiated on the electronic apparatus or the external device is registered, and

control the external device based on the control information to control the external device.

2. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

register the external device in the server and control the external device through the smart home application.

3. The electronic apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a display,

wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

based on the external device being registered in the server, control the display to display a user interface (UI) including the status information on the external device.

4. The electronic apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to:

control the external device through the UI.

5. A method of an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

based on a first mode of an external device being turned on, establishing communication with the external device;

based on the communication being established, transmitting information on an access point to the external device to enable the external device to be registered in a server;

based on the external device being registered in the server, receiving status information of the external device and control information to control the external device from the server at a time a smart home application is initiated on the electronic apparatus; and

controlling the external device based on the control information to control the external device.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

registering the external device in the server and control the external device through the smart home application.

7. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

based on the external device being registered in the server, displaying a user interface (UI) including the status information on the external device.

8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising:

controlling the external device through the UI.

9. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing thereon instructions, the instructions when executed by at least processor, perform a method of an electronic apparatus, the method comprising:

based on a first mode of an external device being turned on, establishing communication with the external device;

based on the communication being established, transmitting information on an access point to the external device to enable the external device to be registered in a server;

based on the external device being registered in the server, receiving status information of the external device and control information to control the external device from the server at a time a smart home application is initiated on the electronic apparatus; and

controlling the external device based on the control information to control the external device.

10. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , further comprising:

registering the external device in the server and control the external device through the smart home application.

11. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 9 , further comprising:

based on the external device being registered in the server, displaying a user interface (UI) including the status information on the external device.

12. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 11 , further comprising:

controlling the external device through the UI.
