Method for pairing devices using near field communication and electronic apparatus using same

Abstract

Various embodiments of the present invention pertain to a method for pairing devices using near field communication and an electronic apparatus using the same. The electronic apparatus comprises: a first wireless communication module supporting first wireless communication; a second wireless communication module supporting second wireless communication; a memory; and a processor operatively connected to the first wireless communication module, the second wireless communication module and the memory, wherein the processor is set to: detect a tag of an external electronic apparatus via the first wireless communication module; transmit a first command for driving a designated application of the external electronic apparatus to the external electronic apparatus via the first wireless communication module; receive, via the first wireless communication module, Bluetooth address information of the external electronic apparatus corresponding to the driving of the designated application; and perform, via the second wireless communication module, pairing with the external electronic apparatus on the basis of the received Bluetooth address information, wherein the pairing is performed in a tagging manner instead of a scanning manner during the pairing of the electronic apparatus with the external electronic apparatus, to thereby intuitively select the external electronic apparatus to be paired and simply perform a pairing process. Various other embodiments are possible.
