1. An electronic apparatus comprising:
a voice input receiver;
a communicator comprising circuitry configured to communicate with a plurality of external apparatuses; and
a processor configured to:
in an operation state, based on a trigger signal being received associated with a user input at a first external apparatus including an external voice input receiver, the user input corresponding to a manipulation of a predetermined button of the first external apparatus, process a first user voice input received through the external voice input receiver of the first external apparatus, and deactivate a function associated with any user voice input received through the voice input receiver while the first user voice input is processed based on the trigger signal associated with the user input corresponding to the manipulation of the predetermined button of the first external apparatus,
in the operation state, based on a wakeup keyword included in a voice signal being received through the voice input receiver, process a second user voice input received through the voice input receiver while a function associated with the external voice input receiver of the first external apparatus is deactivated,
obtain a text input corresponding to one of the first user voice input or the second user voice input, and
perform an operation for an application from among a plurality of applications to execute a control command which corresponds to the text input, the application being related to the control command,
wherein the operation state corresponds to a state in which the processor is configured to be able to receive both the trigger signal and the wakeup keyword, and
the processor is configured to await receipt of one of the trigger signal and the wakeup keyword in the operation state.
