Electronic apparatus for managing network connection and control method thereof

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a transceiver;
• a memory configured to store a first artificial intelligence (AI) model;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• based on environment information being received from at least one of a plurality of devices that are connected to the electronic apparatus, input the environment information to the first AI model, and
• in response to one of the plurality of devices being predicted to lose a network connection based on an output of the first AI model, maintain the network connection of the predicted device through another device of the plurality of devices,
• wherein the processor is further configured to:
• control the transceiver to transmit, to the device predicted to lose the network connection, a control signal for controlling the device predicted to lose the network connection to transmit information obtained by the device predicted to lose the network connection to the other device,
• control the transceiver to transmit, to the other device, a control signal for controlling the other device to transmit the information received from the device predicted to lose the network connection to the electronic apparatus, and
• receive, in response to the network connection between the device predicted to lose the network connection and the electronic apparatus being lost, the information obtained by the device predicted to lose the network connection from the other device via the transceiver.
