摘要

Provided is an apparatus and a method for establishing a Personal Network (PN) by interconnecting a gateway device and various Consumer Electronics (CE) devices through a simple process in order to enable the CEs to receive various services. The method includes performing a physical pairing with surrounding devices by using Near Field Communication (NFC); finding a gateway device, which relays a service from the server, from among the paired devices; selecting a scheme for establishing a PN with the gateway device; and sending a request for connection with a PN according to the selected scheme to the found gateway device.
