based on identifying the electronic device as the hub device, obtain, through the communication interface, a voice data of the user from one or more of the at least one other electronic device, and perform the voice recognition.

2. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

determine whether the user is present around the electronic device using at least one of use information of the electronic device, statistical information on use of the electronic device, or movement information of the user.

3. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on determining that the user is present around the electronic device, identify the at least one other electronic device based on a location of the electronic device; and

determine the device group as comprising the identified at least one other electronic device.

4. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the information on the at least one other electronic device comprises at least one of information on internet connection status of the at least one other electronic device, information on a power status of the at least one other electronic device, information on memory of the at least one other electronic device, information on distance between the at least one other electronic device and the user, and information on a voice recognition function of the at least one other electronic device.

5. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

control the communication interface to transmit the voice data of the user received from the one or more of the at least one other electronic device; and

obtain, through the communication interface from an external server, at least one of a response to the voice data of the user and a control instruction corresponding to the voice data of the user.

6. The electronic device of claim 5 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify a device to output the response to the voice data of the user from among devices comprised in the device group based on a location of the user; and

control the communication interface to transmit, to the identified device the response to the voice data of the user.

7. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

identify at least one of a response to the voice data of the user or a control instruction corresponding to the voice data of the user based on the voice data of the user obtained from the one or more of the at least one other electronic devices.

8. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to,

based on one other electronic device from among the at least one other electronic device being identified as the hub device, control the communication interface to transmit the voice data of the user obtained through the microphone to the one other electronic device identified as the hub device.

9. The electronic device of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on no user being detected around the electronic device, terminate the voice recognition.

10. A control method of an electronic device, the control method comprising:

determining whether a user is present around the electronic device based on voice data of the user received through a microphone;

based on determining that the user is present around the electronic device, obtaining information on the voice data of the user from a plurality of other electronic devices through a communication interface,

identifying at least one other electronic device, from the plurality of other electronic devices, that obtained the voice data of the user having a volume greater than or equal to a threshold value,

determining a device group as comprising the identified at least one other electronic device,

identifying, based on information on the at least one other electronic device obtained from the at least one other electronic device, at least one device from the device group as a hub device to perform a voice recognition; and

based on identifying the electronic device as the hub device, obtaining a voice data of the user from one or more of the at least one other electronic device, and performing the voice recognition.

11. The control method of claim 10 , wherein the determining whether the user is present around the electronic device comprises determining whether the user is present around the electronic device using at least one of use information of the electronic device, statistical information on use of the electronic device, or movement information of the user.

12. The control method of claim 10 , wherein the determining the device group comprises:

based on determining that the user is present around the electronic device, identifying the at least one other electronic device based on a location of the electronic device; and

determining the device group as comprising the identified at least one other electronic device.

13. The control method of claim 10 , wherein the information on the at least one other electronic device comprises at least one of information on internet connection status of the at least one other electronic device, information on a power status of the at least one other electronic device, information on memory of the at least one other electronic device, information on distance between the at least one other electronic device and the user, or information on a voice recognition function of the at least one other electronic device.

14. The control method of claim 10 , wherein the performing the voice recognition comprises:

transmitting, to an external server, the voice data of the user received from the one or more of the at least one other electronic devices; and

obtaining, from the external server, at least one of a response to the voice data of the user and a control instruction corresponding to the voice data of the user.

15. The control method of claim 14 , further comprising:

identifying a device to output the response to the voice data of the user from among devices comprised in the device group based on a location of the user; and

transmitting, to the identified device, the response to the voice data of the user.

16. The control method of claim 10 , further comprising:

identifying at least one of a response to the voice data of the user and a control instruction corresponding to the voice data of the user based on the voice data of the user obtained from the one or more of the at least one other electronic device.

17. The control method of claim 10 , further comprising, based on one other electronic device from among the at least one other electronic device being identified as the hub device, transmitting the voice data of the user received through the microphone to the one other electronic device identified as the hub device.

18. The control method of claim 10 , further comprising, based on no user being detected around the electronic device, terminating the voice recognition.
