1. An electronic device comprising:
a display;
a camera;
a communication circuitry; and
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the electronic device to:
control to transmit an image obtained through the camera to an external device through the communication circuitry;
receive an augmented reality (AR) image including at least one object related to at least one peripheral device that exists around the electronic device from the external device through at least the communication circuitry;
control to display the AR image including the at least one object through the display;
recognize a target object from among the at least one object;
determine, based on signals transmitted by a plurality of peripheral devices on a data communication link, location information of the plurality of peripheral devices on the data communication link;
determine location information of the target object in the AR image; and
map, based on the determined location information of the target object in the AR image and the determined location information of the plurality of peripheral devices on the data communication link a peripheral device among the plurality of peripheral devices found on the data communication link to a target device corresponding to the recognized target object in the AR image.
