A method of controlling a function of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- placing the mobile terminal within a communication range of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device previously registered in the mobile terminal;
- receiving identification information of the BLE device from the BLE device;
- extracting function information corresponding to the received identification information of the BLE device;
- and
- performing a previously set function corresponding to the extracted function information.
A mobile terminal, comprising:
- a communication unit configured to, when the mobile terminal is disposed within a communication range of a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device previously registered in the mobile terminal, receive identification information from the BLE device;
- a control unit configured to extract function information corresponding to the received identification information of the BLE device and to perform a previously set function corresponding to the extracted function information;
- and
- a memory configured to map and store the identification information of the BLE device and at least one function supported by the mobile terminal.
A method of controlling a function of a mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- detecting a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device previously registered in the mobile terminal;
- receiving identification information from the BLE device;
- and
- performing a previously set function corresponding to the received identification information of the BLE device,
- wherein the previously set function is previously set by a user.
