1. A method for operating devices by an electronic device in an Inter of Things (IoT) environment, the method comprising:
monitoring a movement of at least one object from a first location to a second location;
identifying a relative position of the at least one object in the second location with respect to at least one entity;
predicting an initiation of at least one activity by the at least one entity, based on the identified relative position of the at least one object with respect to the at least one entity; and
modifying an operational state of at least one device associated with the predicted at least one activity,
wherein the predicting of the initiation of the at least one activity by the at least one entity comprises:
analyzing at least one of interaction of the at least entity with the at least one object which is detected by using a pattern of Ultra-wideband (UWB) signals received from at least one UWB sensor, parameters of the at least one entity which is derived using the at least one UWB sensor, a past operation information state for the at least one entity with respect to the at least one object, or grouping of the at least one object based on the relative position of the at least one object and the detected interaction of the at least one entity with the at least one object, to predict the initiation of the at least one activity in relation to the identified relative position of the at least one object with respect to the at least one entity.
