11. A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving a first speech signal;
identifying whether the first speech signal corresponds to a trigger speech based on signal information corresponding to the trigger speech;
obtaining a first speech sharpness value of the first speech signal based on the first speech signal being identified as corresponding to the trigger speech;
obtaining a second speech sharpness value from at least one external device;
receiving a second speech signal;
based on the first speech sharpness value being greater than the second speech sharpness value, identifying a speech command included in the second speech signal by entering a speech recognition mode; and
controlling the electronic device based on the speech command identified from the second speech signal,
wherein the controlling the electronic device comprises, based on the speech command being unidentified from the second speech signal, transmitting a control signal to the at least one external device based on the second speech sharpness value,
wherein the control signal comprises at least one of a signal to cause the at least one external device to enter a speech recognition mode.
