Electronic apparatus and control method thereof

Abstract

In an electronic apparatus, reference information stored on a memory includes standard appliance ownership information describing owned home appliances of at least one standard household and standard monthly power consumption information of the standard household. A processor obtains first monthly power consumption information of a first household which owns a first home appliance of a same type as a standard home appliance described in the standard appliance ownership information. Based on a difference between the standard and first monthly power consumption information being within a threshold range, the processor compares appliance monthly power consumption information of the standard home appliance and of the first home appliance, and, based on the result being within a threshold range, predicts first appliance ownership information on owned home appliances of the first household based on the standard appliance ownership information. The processor then provides guide information associated with the first appliance ownership information.
