A member notification method is disclosed for mobile terminals capable of short-range wireless communication. The member notification method includes forming a particular group of a first mobile terminal and one or more second mobile terminals; discovering, by the first mobile terminal, a second mobile terminal in a fixed-radius range using short-range wireless communication; and notifying, when the second mobile terminal is discovered, by the first mobile terminal, a user of the first mobile terminal of the presence of the discovered second mobile terminal. The group may accommodate mobile terminals that are different in design model and in serving mobile communication network. Member mobile terminals can discover one another, and their users can discover one another in crowded places without communication costs. The RuBee or ZigBee technology permits mobile terminals to operate at most times, enabling ready discovery of members at a close distance.
