1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to establish wireless communication with a user terminal;
a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and
at least one processor, comprising processor circuitry, configured to execute the computer-executable instructions by accessing the memory,
wherein the instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to perform, individually and/or collectively, acts including the following:
receive utterance data from the user terminal using the communication module;
classify a situation factor based at least partially on the utterance data;
determine, from a plurality of external device types, one or more external devices that match the classified situation factor; and
generate and present one or more action scenarios for the one or more external devices determined for the classified situation factor to the user terminal prior to implementation of a presented action scenario.
