A method for operating devices by an electronic device in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment is provided. The method includes monitoring a movement of at least one object from a first location to a second location, identifying a relative position of the at least one object in the second location with respect to at least one entity, predicting an initiation of at least one activity by the at least one entity, based on the determined relative position of the at least one object with respect to the at least one entity, and modifying an operational state of at least one device associated with the predicted at least one activity.

Method and apparatus for operating devices in IoT environment

The embodiments herein disclose methods and systems for passive wakeup of a user interaction device and configuring a dynamic wakeup time for a user interaction device, a method includes detecting an occurrence of at least one first non-voice event associated with at least one device present in an Internet of Things (IoT) environment. The method includes detecting an occurrence of at least one successive event associated with the at least one device. The method includes estimating a contextual probability of initiating at least one interaction by a user with the user interaction device on detecting the occurrence of at least one of the at least one first event and the at least one successive event. On determining the estimated contextual probability is above a pre-defined threshold value, the method includes configuring the dynamic wakeup time to switch the user interaction device to a passive wakeup state.

Methods and systems for passive wakeup of a user interaction device

Embodiments of present disclosure relates to a voice assistant device and method for controlling the voice assistant device. The voice assistant device comprising receiver configured to receive at least one voice input from user, when operated in wake-up mode. Intent associated with the at least one voice input from the at least one user. Further, probability of issuance of a subsequent voice input from the at least one user is determined based on at least one of the intent, historic data and one or more contextual factors. An extended wake-up duration of the voice assistant device is estimated, when the probability is greater than a predefined threshold value. Further, duration of the wake-up mode is extended for the extended wake-up duration to receive the subsequent voice input from the at least one user.
