1. A method of controlling a group action of a server, the method comprising:
- executing, as requested by a first electronic apparatus, a first group action that controls one or more external apparatuses connected to the server;
receiving, from a second electronic apparatus, an execution request of a second group action that controls one or more external apparatuses connected to the server;
determining a group action conflict between the first group action that is being executed and the second group action that is requested to be executed;
generating group action solution information corresponding to the group action conflict between the first group action that is being executed and the second group action that is requested to be executed; and
transmitting the group action solution information to the second electronic apparatus,wherein the group action conflict is determined based on external apparatuses that are commonly included in the first group action and the second group action.

Abstract
A server and a method of controlling a group action of the server are provided. The server can determine whether a conflict occurs between a first group action that is being executed and a second group action that is requested to be executed and determine at least one conflict solution, and the method controls the execution of the group actions by the server and the determination and communication of the conflict solution. The conflict can be determined by using group action characteristics of the first group action and the second group action.
