1. An electronic apparatus, comprising:
a microphone;
a memory configured to store a wakeup word; and
a processor configured to:
obtain context information including at least one from among schedule information, application execution information, time information, location information, speed information, acceleration information, audio information, or motion information,
identify, based on the context information of the electronic apparatus, an occurrence of a pre-determined event;
change, based on the occurrence of the pre-determined event, a first threshold value for recognizing the wakeup word;
obtain, based on a first voice input received via the microphone, a similarity value between first text information corresponding to the first voice input and the wakeup word; and
perform, based on the similarity value being greater than or equal to the changed first threshold value, a speech recognition function on second text information corresponding to a second voice input received via the microphone after the first voice input,
wherein the first threshold value is a value used to determine whether the wakeup word is recognized,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
identify that the time information matches pre-determined time information corresponding to the pre-determined event;
identify that the location information matches pre-determined location information corresponding to the pre-determined event; and
identify the occurrence of the pre-determined event based on identifying that the time information matches the pre-determined time information and that the location information matches the pre-determined location information.
