1. An electronic device that is operable both independently and in cooperation with other devices, the electronic device comprising:
processing circuitry configured to
receive an input, the input being detected as voice;
control a transmitter to transmit input information indicating the input to an external device, the external device being located physically apart from the electronic device;
receive, via a receiver, feedback information indicating at least a type of feedback representing a state of the external device, the feedback information being transmitted by the external device in response to the input information; and
control outputting the feedback in accordance with the received feedback information, wherein
the state includes a remaining battery level of the external device,
the processing circuitry is configured to control outputting the remaining battery level of the external device by first sound,
the state further includes a communication state of the external device with the electronic device, and
the processing circuitry is configured to control outputting the communication state by second sound.
