A method for controlling a remote device in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment is provided. The method includes: identifying a primary IoT device in a first location; identifying at least one secondary IoT device in a second location; determining that a user is currently in the second location; determining an intent of the user to control the primary IoT device from the second location; and reconfiguring at least one default functionality of a secondary IoT device, among the at least one secondary IoT device, such that the secondary IoT device is operable by the user as a user interface to control the primary IoT device from the secondary location.

Method and apparatus for controlling a remote device in an internet of things (IOT) environment

Provided are an apparatus and a method for generating an alternative routine, the method comprising monitoring a first routine comprising at least one activity representing at least one interaction of a user with one or more IoT devices, determining semantic information associated with the at least one activity, and generating at least one second routine comprising one or more activities corresponding to the at least one activity based on the semantic information associated with the at least one activity.

Method and apparatus for generating alternative routines in an IoT environment

A method of controlling an Internet of Things (IoT) device to perform an action, is performed by an electronic device and includes obtaining at least one input from a user, based on a predefined action corresponding to the obtained at least one input being not identifiable, transmitting the obtained at least one input to a server, receiving, from the server, information regarding at least one activity that is mapped to at least one IoT device that is identified based on the transmitted at least one input, and information regarding at least one object and/or at least one context, and identifying an action to be performed on an IoT device among the at least one IoT device, based on a correlation between the obtained at least one input and the at least one activity mapped to the at least one IoT device.
