Abstract
An electronic apparatus includes: a first communication circuit configured to perform wireless communication in a first mode; a second communication circuit configured to perform wireless communication with an access point in a second mode; and a processor configured to control the electronic apparatus to: obtain first identification information for a first mode-based wireless communication of an external apparatus through the first communication circuit, obtain address information for a second mode-based wireless communication of the external apparatus through the first communication circuit, obtain second identification information for the second mode-based wireless communication of the external apparatus through the second communication circuit using the obtained address, identify whether communication connection with the external apparatus is established through the first communication circuit or the second communication circuit based on the obtained first identification information, address information and second identification information, and perform an operation based on whether the communication connection with the external apparatus is established.
