Wi-fi p2p communication terminal device and communication method thereof

A Wi-Fi P2P method of communication for a terminal device, the method comprising:

• interrupting a connection to an AP when a Wi-Fi P2P function is executed in a state in which the connection to the AP is established and an operation is performed in a Wi-Fi station mode and iterating an operation of resuming the connection to the AP after a search operation is performed through each channel while a plurality of channels are sequentially selected;
• and
• performing a listen operation of receiving a signal transmitted from the external device when an external device to perform Wi-Fi P2P communication is found in the search operation and transmitting a response.

A terminal device comprising:

• a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) module which is connected to an access point (AP) and operates in a Wi-Fi station mode;
• and
• a controller which controls the Wi-Fi module to interrupt the connection to the AP when a Wi-Fi peer-to-peer (P2P) function is executed and controls the Wi-Fi module to perform a listen operation of receiving a signal transmitted from an external device which performs P2P communication, when the terminal device is found by the external device.
