ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Disclosed is an electronic apparatus. The disclosed apparatus includes a display; a communicator; a processor; and a memory, the memory being configured to store instructions set for the processor to: obtain a plurality of images relevant to media content being displayed on the display, which are stored for a preset period of time with respect to a point in time when an object identifying command that requests identification of an object contained in the media content is received, as the command is received from a different electronic apparatus through the communicator, obtain at least one candidate image that contains the object being displayed, by identifying objects contained in the plurality of images, and transmit the at least one candidate image to the different electronic apparatus by controlling the communicator.Further, a part of the electronic apparatus may use an AI data recognition model learned based on at least one of rule-based model or machine learning, a neural network or a deep-learning algorithm.The rule-based model or the AI data recognition model may identify an object contained in an image by regarding the image as an input value.
