1. A method for generating an activity reminder by an electronic device in an Internet of things (IOT) environment, the method comprising:
identifying a movement of a user towards an object in the IoT environment;
predicting a first future intended activity of the user, associated with the object, based on identifying the movement of the user towards the object, past interactions of the user with the object and a current state of the object associated with the first future intended activity of the user in the IoT environment, wherein the current state of the object comprises a switched-on state;
determining an occurrence of one or more interrupts in the IoT environment based on a video parameter associated with at least one of a plurality of objects in the IoT environment, before beginning to perform the predicted first future intended activity associated with the object, wherein the one or more interrupts are an event external to the electronic device that prevents the user from performing the first future intended activity;
detecting the movement of the user away from the object subsequent to the occurrence of the one or more interrupts and before beginning to perform the first future intended activity; and
generating an activity reminder to the user, indicating to perform the first future intended activity when the user does not move towards the object for a pre-determined time period, after the detecting of the movement of the user away from the object,
wherein the activity reminder is generated on a nearby object to the user, identified based on data from one or more ultra-wideband (UWB) sensors in the IoT environment.
