Abstract
A method and a terminal device for scanning a Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) direct device in a terminal device are described. The method includes: activating a Wi-Fi direct operation; scanning Wi-Fi direct devices within range to obtain device information; determining, with a processor, whether connection is available or non-available with each of the scanned Wi-Fi direct devices by analyzing the device information for each of the scanned Wi-Fi direct devices; and displaying the available Wi-Fi direct devices. Accordingly, a user may distinguish the available devices from the non-available devices.
