1. An electronic device comprising:
a communicator, comprising circuitry, configured to communicate with a server; and
at least one processor configured to:
control the electronic device to provide a sound,
receive, from the server, identification information of a voice recognition device and at least one identification information of at least one electronic device located in a region around the voice recognition device,
while the sound is being provided, receive information from the server that a voice command of a user is received through the voice recognition device,
determine whether the voice recognition device and the electronic device are located in a same region based on the identification information of the voice recognition device received from the server, the at least one identification information of the at least one electronic device received from the server and identification information of the electronic device, and
based on the voice recognition device and the electronic device being located in the same region, change the sound being provided from the electronic device.
 
6. A method of controlling an electronic device, the method comprising:
controlling the electronic device to provide a sound;
receiving, from a server, identification information of a voice recognition device and at least one identification information of at least one electronic device located in a region around the voice recognition device;
while the sound is being provided, receiving information from the server that a voice command of a user is received through the voice recognition device;
determining whether the voice recognition device and the electronic device are located in a same region based on the identification information of the voice recognition device received from the server, the at least one identification information of the at least one electronic device received from the server and identification information of the electronic device; and
based on the voice recognition device and the electronic device being located in the same region, changing the sound being provided from the electronic device.
 
11. A sound output control system, comprising:
a voice recognition device comprising circuitry;
a plurality of electronic devices configured to output sound; and
a server configured to receive identification information of the voice recognition device and at least one identification information of at least one electronic device located in a region around the voice recognition device, and to transmit the identification information of the voice recognition device and the at least one identification information of the at least one electronic device to the plurality of electronic devices; and
wherein, based on receiving information from the server that a voice command is received from a user through the voice recognition device, each of the plurality of electronic devices is configured to:
determine whether the voice recognition device and the electronic device are located in a same region based on the identification information of the voice recognition device received from the server, the at least one identification information of the at least one electronic device received from the server and the identification information of the each of the plurality of electronic devices, and
based on the voice recognition device and the each of the plurality of electronic devices being located in the same region, change the sound being output from the each of the plurality of electronic devices.
