1. A master device configured to provide a service relating to an electronic device within a zone, the master device comprising:
a radar communication module;
a short-range communication module;
memory storing instructions; and
at least one processor comprising processing circuitry
wherein the instructions, when individually or collectively executed by at least one processor, cause the master device to:
determine whether a user is present within the zone by using the radar communication module,
track a movement of the user within the zone if the user present within the zone,
determine whether user gestures are recognized,
control a function of electronic devices within the zone based on the recognized user gestures,
determine whether the user is within an overlapping zone, and
refrain from recognizing user gestures based on confirmation that the user's location is within an overlapping zone,
wherein the overlapping zone is an area where the control areas of two or more master devices intersect.
