1. An electronic device comprising:
a communication module;
a plurality of microphones; and
a processor,
wherein the processor is configured to:
identify a position of a sound source based on a voice received through the plurality of microphones;
identify whether the position of the sound source is included in a first zone between the electronic device and an access point wirelessly connected with the electronic device, wherein the first zone includes a path through which a communication signal is transmitted from the access point to the electronic device;
identify whether a position of a user is included in the first zone based on a comparison between the communication signal received from the access point and a preset communication signal stored in the electronic device, when the position of the sound source is included in the first zone, wherein when the user is in the first zone, the communication signal does not correspond to the preset communication signal due to a user's interference;
based on identifying that the position of the user is included in the first zone, determine to execute a command included in the voice; and
based on identifying that the position of the user is not included in the first zone, determine to refrain from executing the command included in the voice.
