1. An electronic device comprising:
a microphone;
an output interface; and
a processor configured to:
obtain a plurality of audio signals through the microphone; and
cluster the plurality of audio signals as a plurality of groups, based on feature vectors of the plurality of audio signals,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
based on a word registered on the electronic device by a user, detect a voice of a talker who utters the registered word from an audio signal received through the microphone;
based on voice information of a registered talker who is registered on the electronic device, determine whether the detected voice is a voice of the registered talker;
based on determining that the detected voice is the voice of the registered talker, control the output interface to output a voice notification; and
based on determining that the detected voice is not the voice of the registered talker, receive a command for registering voice information of the talker through the microphone; and
based on the command, register information about the talker and a group corresponding to the voice of the talker from among the plurality of groups, and
wherein the registered word refers to the user.
