Abstract:
A method for managing one or more Internet of Things (IoT) devices in a metaverse environment is provided. The method includes detecting that a user is engaged in the metaverse environment, monitoring, upon detecting that the user is engaged in the metaverse environment, an operating state of each of the one or more IoT devices in a real-world environment, determining at least one IoT device from the one or more IoT devices requiring user's attention based on the monitored operating state of each of the one or more IoT, and generating, within the metaverse environment, an interactable avatar of the determined at least one IoT device requiring user's attention, wherein the interactable avatar is a representative of an operating state of the at least one IoT device.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a first electronic device that manages a user query in an Internet of Things (IoT) network is disclosed. The method may include receiving a first query from the user, identifying whether the received first query is a static event in which a complete response can be generated by the first electronic device or a dynamic event in which a complete response cannot be generated by the first electronic device, based on the first query being identified as the static event, processing the first query, and based on the first query being identified as the dynamic event, transmitting the first query to a second electronic device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for managing applications by an electronic device are provided. The method and apparatus include identifying, by a processor, a secondary application based on an application executed on the electronic device or content included in the application, displaying a representation corresponding to the secondary application on the electronic device, selecting the representation based on an input, and invoking the secondary application corresponding to the selected representation on the electronic device.
