Method and apparatus for establishing short range communication

摘要

A method for establishing a short range connection includes transmitting a first data to an external device through infrared communication, the first data including information on a short range wireless communication other than the infrared communication, the short range wireless communication being supported by an electronic device, establishing the short range wireless communication with the external device on the basis of the first data, and transmitting a second data to the external device through the short range wireless communication. An electronic device includes at least one processor configured to transmit a first data to an external device through infrared communication, the first data including information on a short range wireless communication other than the infrared communication, the short range wireless communication being supported by an electronic device, establish the short range wireless communication with the external device on the basis of the first data.
