A method for controlling an electronic device and an electronic apparatus are provided. A position of the electronic apparatus in a spatial area is obtained. A scene of the spatial area where the electronic apparatus is located is displayed in a display unit. A position of a controllable target apparatus included in the scene is obtained by using the position of the electronic apparatus and searching in a target apparatus distribution database of the spatial area, and a relative position of the controllable target apparatus and the electronic apparatus is obtained. According to the obtained position of the controllable target apparatus, an apparatus image layer corresponding to the controllable target apparatus is displayed at a corresponding position of the scene. When the apparatus image layer receives an enabling signal, a controlling command is transmitted to the controllable target apparatus corresponding to the apparatus image layer.
