Apparatus and method for communicating data in mobile device having near field communication module

摘要

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for communicating data and, more particularly, to an apparatus and a method for communicating data enabling portable terminals to transmit and receive a message by using an NFC module. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for communicating data with an external device by using an NFC (Near Field Communication) module in a portable terminal having the NFC module includes: detecting a notification event from the NFC module notifying contact of the external device; deciding whether a preregistered message to be transmitted to the external device exists in a storage unit if the notification event is detected; and controlling the NFC module to transmit the preregistered message to the external device if the registered message exists in the storage unit.
