Electronic apparatus, controlling method of electronic apparatus and server

An apparatus and a method for treating garments are provided. A method, performed by a garment treatment apparatus, of controlling an operation of the garment treatment apparatus includes: establishing wireless communication with a monitoring device placed inside a drum of the garment treatment apparatus; rotating the drum; receiving movement information associated with movement of the monitoring device from the monitoring device during the rotation of the drum; and controlling the rotation of the drum based on the received movement information.

Apparatus and method for treating garments

An electronic apparatus and method of controlling the electronic apparatus are provided. The electronic apparatus includes a communicator, a storage storing information on places wherein Internet of Things (IoT) devices are located, and a processor configured to, based on receiving a control signal for controlling an IoT device located in a specific place through the communicator, control the IoT device located in the specific place based on information on the place stored in the storage. The processor is further configured to receive motion information generated based on a motion of a wearable device from the wearable device, identify a place corresponding to the motion information, and store the identified place as information on a place of an IoT device located within a predetermined distance from the wearable device, in the storage.

Electronic apparatus and control method for controlling a device in an Internet of Things

Disclosed is an electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device. The electronic device includes: a microphone, a communication interface, a memory for storing at least one instruction, and a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to: determine whether a user is present around the electronic device based on voice data of the user obtained via the microphone, determine a device group including the electronic device and at least one other electronic device present around the electronic device, identify at least one device from the device group as a hub device to perform a voice recognition, and based on identifying the electronic device as the hub device, obtain, through the communication interface, a voice data of the user from one or more of the at least one other electronic device, and perform the voice recognition.

Electronic device and method for controlling electronic device

Disclosed are an electronic apparatus and a controlling method thereof. The method for controlling an electronic apparatus includes monitoring a state of communication connection with an access point (AP) device, outputting a search message to request information on at least one peripheral device within a specified range of the electronic apparatus as a first non-audible frequency signal based on an event to suspend communication connection with the AP device occurring, determining a device, among the electronic apparatus and the at least one peripheral device, to perform an operation of the AP device based on performance information of the at least one peripheral device included in a received response message and performance information of the electronic apparatus based on receiving the response message from the at least one peripheral device in response to the search message, and outputting information for communication connection with the electronic apparatus as a second non-audible frequency signal based on the electronic apparatus being determined as a device to perform an operation of the AP device. Accordingly, if a communication connection with an AP device connected to an electronic apparatus and a peripheral device is suspended, the electronic apparatus may rapidly form a network for communication connection with a peripheral device independently.
