Abstract

An electronic device including a memory storing signal information corresponding to a trigger speech; a microphone; a communication interface; and a processor configured to identify whether a first speech signal received through the microphone corresponds to the trigger speech, obtain a first speech sharpness value of the first speech signal, obtain a second speech sharpness value from the at least one external device through the communication interface, based on the first speech sharpness value being greater than the second speech sharpness value, identify a speech command included in the second speech signal received through the microphone by entering a speech recognition mode, and control the electronic device based on the identifying of the speech command. Based on the speech command being unidentified, the processor controls the communication interface to transmit a control signal to the at least one external device based on the second speech sharpness value.
