A method of the present disclosure includes confirming second state information received from a second electronic device, confirming first state information of the first electronic device, comparing the first state information and the second state information with pre-set state information, and performing a function of the second electronic device by switching to the first electronic device according to the comparison result. Accordingly, since the first electronic device can be selected and controlled with a gesture or motion agreed between the first electronic device and the second electronic device, security can be enforced by avoiding an accident of data leakage, and selecting the second electronic device for controlling can be decreased.
