Abstract:
An electronic apparatus is provided. The electronic apparatus includes a first communication interface, a second communication interface, and a processor configured to control the first communication interface to connect to a Bluetooth™ low energy (BLE) network, and based on receiving a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) signal from an access point (AP) apparatus through the second communication interface, identify a strength of the received Wi-Fi signal, transmit information on the strength of the received Wi-Fi signal to the AP apparatus through the second communication interface, and based on receiving response information corresponding to the information transmitted from the AP apparatus through the second communication interface, identify whether the electronic apparatus is a main apparatus among a plurality of electronic apparatuses connected to the BLE network based on the received response information, and maintain Wi-Fi communication through the second communication interface or release the Wi-Fi communication based on the identification result.
