MOBILE DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING FUNCTION BASED ON SHORT-RANGE COMMUNICATION

摘要

A mobile device and method for performing a function using a short-range communication tag are provided. In the method, the mobile device inputs function-related information into a short-range communication tag, and recognizes proximity to or contact with the short-range communication tag. Then the mobile device reads the function-related information from the short-range communication tag, and performs a function correlated with the function-related information. This allows performing various functions of the mobile device, only depending on a user's action to bring the mobile device in proximity to or contact with the Near Field Communication (NFC) tag.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first communication module configured to support a wireless communication different from a near-field communication and provided by one or more external electronic devices; a second communication module configured to support the near-field communication; a display; and a processor configured to:
present a user interface via the display based at least in part on a selection of a first external electronic device providing the wireless communication;receive, via the user interface, connection information corresponding to the wireless communication provided by the first external electronic device;detect, using the second communication module, a second external electronic device providing the near-field communication in proximity of the apparatus; andtransmit, using the second communication module, the connection information to the second external electronic device in response to the detection.
