1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
memory storing one or more computer programs; and
one or more processors communicatively coupled to the display and the memory,
wherein the one or more computer programs include computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to:
detect, based on a first voice command obtained from a user gazing towards a viewing region, candidate objects in the viewing region of the user,
determine, based on a distribution of property values of a corresponding candidate property of candidate objects for each candidate property, a representative property among candidate properties of the detected candidate objects, wherein the representative property is for distinguishing between candidate objects, wherein the candidate properties define individual characteristics of each of the candidate objects,
output to the display, for each of the detected candidate objects, feedback based on a property value of the representative property of a corresponding candidate object, and
determine, based on obtaining an additional voice command that specifies a property value of the representative property from the user, an object indicated in the first voice command as a candidate object having the property value of the representative property specified by the additional voice command.
