Claim 9:
10. A wearable electronic apparatus worn on user's ears, the wearable electronic apparatus comprising:
a memory configured to store at least one instruction;
an inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor; and
a processor which is, by executing the at least one instruction stored in the memory, configured to
control the IMU sensor to receive a bone conduction signal corresponding to vibration generated in the user's face while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in an active noise cancellation (ANC) mode,
based on analyzing an energy of the bone conduction signal while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the ANC mode, identify a dialog situation or a humming situation,
based on identifying a presence of the dialog situation while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the ANC mode, control an operation mode of the wearable electronic apparatus to be a different operation mode from the ANC mode,
while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the different operation mode, identify the dialog situation or the humming situation based on the bone conduction signal,
based on an absence of the dialog situation being identified for a predetermined time while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the different operation mode, control the different operation mode to return to the ANC mode, and
based on the presence of the dialog situation being identified within the predetermined time while the wearable electronic apparatus is operated in the different operation mode, control the different operation mode to be maintained.
