Method, storage medium, and apparatus for performing peer to peer service by using contacts information

A machine-readable storage medium having recorded thereon a program for executing a method of performing a Peer to Peer (P2P) service with at least one second terminal by a first terminal, the method comprising:

• transmitting contact information of the first terminal to the at least one second terminal;
• receiving contact information of the at least one second terminal from the at least one second terminal;
• receiving information on an application supporting the P2P service from the at least one second terminal;
• displaying identification information of the at least one second terminal and first identification information of the application by using the contact information of the at least one second terminal and the information on the application;
• and
• performing the P2P service with the at least one second terminal through the application.

A first terminal performing a Peer to Peer (P2P) service with at least one second terminal, the first terminal comprising:

• a display unit;
• a memory configured to store contact information of the first terminal;
• a communication unit configured to directly perform wireless communication with at least one second terminal;
• and
• a controller configured to transmit the contact information of the first terminal to the at least one second terminal through the communication unit, receive contacts information of the at least one second terminal from the at least one second terminal through the communication unit, receive information on an application supporting the P2P service from the at least one second terminal through the communication unit, display identification information of the at least one second terminal and first identification information of the application on the display unit by using the contact information of the at least one second terminal and the information on the application, and perform the P2P service with the at least one second terminal through the application.

A second terminal performing a Peer to Peer (P2P) service with a first terminal, the second terminal comprising:

• a display unit;
• a memory configured to store contact information of the second terminal;
• a communication unit configured to directly perform wireless communication with the first terminal;
• and
• a controller configured to receive contact information of the first terminal from the first terminal through the communication unit, transmit the contact information of the second terminal to the first terminal through the communication unit, transmit information on an application supporting the P2P service to the first terminal through the communication unit, and perform the P2P service with the first terminal through the application.
