Electronic device for controlling predefined function based on response time of external electronic device on user input, and method thereof

Abstract

Various embodiments of the disclosure relate to an electronic device for controlling a predefined function based on a response time of an external electronic device on a user input, and a method thereof. The electronic device includes: a memory configured to store one or more applications; a communication module comprising communication circuitry configured to communicate with an external electronic device; and a processor, wherein the processor is configured to control the electronic device to: receive an input; generate first control data for controlling at least one application among the one or more applications using a first recognition method based at least on the input; transmit at least part of the input to the external electronic device through the communication module, wherein the external electronic device is configured to generate second control data for controlling the at least one application using a second recognition method based at least on the input; identify a time that passes until the second control data is received after the at least part of the input is transmitted to the external electronic device; control the at least one application using the first control data based on the passing time satisfying a first predefined condition; and control the at least one application using the second control data based on the passing time satisfying a second predefined condition.
