Claim 7:
8. An electronic device comprising:
a voice reception part; and
a processor configured to:
based on a first user voice and a second user voice being received through the voice reception part, determine whether the second user voice corresponds to a subsequent utterance candidate of the first user voice based on a result obtained by classifying a plurality of attributes of the second user voice according to a predefined attribute, and control the electronic device to perform an operation corresponding to the second user voice based on intent of the second user voice obtained through a result of the determination,
wherein the processor is configured to:
classify the plurality of attributes according to relevance to the predefined attribute;
adjust attribute values obtained from the plurality of classified attributes;
sum up the plurality of adjusted attribute values; and
based on a summed-up attribute value being larger than a predetermined threshold, determine that the second user voice corresponds to the subsequent utterance candidate, and based on the summed-up attribute value being smaller than or equal to the predetermined threshold, determine that the second user voice does not correspond to the subsequent utterance candidate.
