1. A control method comprising:
activating a near field communication (NFC) function;
based on a terminal apparatus approaching within a threshold distance from an electronic apparatus and handover data being transmitted, performing an NFC handover operation;
monitoring a Wi-Fi direct connection state between the terminal apparatus and the electronic apparatus;
based on the Wi-Fi direct connection state being identified as a failure, inactivating the NFC function; and
after a set time in a state wherein the electronic apparatus maintains the threshold distance with the terminal apparatus, reactivating the inactivated NFC function and reperforming the NFC handover operation based on the handover data.
