Electronic device and method using machine learning for identifying characteristics of users located within a specific space

Abstract

Electronic device using intelligent analysis for identifying characteristics of users located within a specific space. The electronic device includes a controller configured to identify each of a plurality of users located within a specific space, and generate a control command for controlling operation of at least one device associated with the specific space based on characteristic information related to each of the identified plurality of users.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic device, comprising:
 a communication unit configured to communicate with an external device; and   a controller configured to:   obtain conversation information between the electronic device and the external device through the communication unit;   analyze the conversation based on a learning algorithm;   identify a predicted plurality of users to be located in a specific space at a specific time based on a result of the analyzed conversation, wherein the plurality of users include a first user of the electronic device and a second user of the external device;   predict a use purpose of the specific space by the plurality of users at the specific time based on characteristic information of each of the plurality of users and the analyzed conversation;   transmit, via the communication unit, notification information related to the specific space to each of a plurality of devices corresponding to the plurality of users to guide the plurality of users to the specific space at the specific time, wherein the notification information is transmitted to each of the plurality of devices at a different time based on a respective location of each of the plurality of users and a location of the specific space; and   generate a control command for a device associated with the specific space at the specific time to function according to the predicted use purpose of the specific space.
