1. An apparatus comprising:
a touchscreen display;
short range communication circuitry;
a processor; and
a memory configured to store instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
establish, using the short range communication circuitry, a wireless communication connection between the apparatus and an external wireless device including a speaker,
reproduce multimedia data and transmit first audio data corresponding to at least part of the multimedia data to the external wireless device via the wireless communication connection such that the first audio data is output via the speaker of the external wireless device,
obtain data corresponding to sound input while the first audio data is outputted via the speaker of the external wireless device,
while the first audio data is outputted via the speaker, based at least in part on a determination that the sound input obtained corresponds to a specified command stored in the memory, control to adjust an output volume of the first audio data corresponding to the reproduced multimedia data outputted via the speaker of the external wireless device,
after the determination that the sound input corresponds to the specified command, transmit second audio data to the external wireless device via the wireless communication connection such that the second audio data is output via the speaker while the output volume of the first audio data corresponding to the reproduced multimedia data is adjusted,
display a visual indicator including at least one text corresponding to the sound input via the touchscreen display at least temporarily while the adjusted output volume of the first audio data is to be outputted via the speaker, and
after the transmitting the second audio data, readjust the output volume of the first audio data corresponding to the reproduced multimedia data to a previous volume.
