1. A clothing processing apparatus included in an Internet of Things (IoT) system, the clothing processing apparatus comprising:
a communication interface; and
a processor configured to perform a process including at least one clothing processing operation,
wherein the processor is configured to:
receive information on a context of an electronic apparatus included in the IoT system from the electronic apparatus through the communication interface during a period in which the process is being performed,
identify whether a relationship between a remaining time to an end of the process that is being performed and the context of the electronic apparatus satisfies a predetermined condition, based on the received information, and
change, based on the predetermined condition being identified as being satisfied, a remaining process of the process that is being performed so that the remaining time is changed, and
wherein the processor is further configured to identify that the predetermined condition is satisfied when it is identified that a remaining time of a content that is being provided by the electronic apparatus is longer than the remaining time of the process by a threshold time or more, based on the received information on the remaining time to an end of the content that is being provided by the electronic apparatus.
