1. A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
- outputting a sound output event through a speaker at a first output volume;
generating a predicted input waveform based on the sound output event;
comparing a level of an input sound received via a microphone with a predicted level of the predicted input waveform;
determining a threshold value waveform by subtracting an offset value from the predicted level of the predicted input waveform;
outputting a sound at a second output volume when the level of the input sound received via the microphone is lower than the threshold value waveform of the predicted input waveform for a predetermined duration of time.

Abstract
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device may output a sound output event through a speaker at an output volume, generate a predicted input waveform based on the output sound event, compare a level of an input sound received via a microphone with a predicted level of the predicted input waveform, determine when a level of the input sound is lower than a threshold value for a predetermined time, and control the output volume of the sound output event when the level of the input sound is lower than the threshold value for the predetermined time.
