Method and apparatus for establishing wireless communications connection

A method of operating a terminal, the method comprising:

• receiving first sub-information of first biometric information from an electronic device;
• acquiring second biometric information of a user who uses the terminal and comparing first sub-information of the second biometric information corresponding to the first sub-information of the first biometric information with the first sub-information of the first biometric information;
• and
• if it is determined as a result of the comparing that the first sub-information of the second biometric information matches the first sub-information of the first biometric information, transmitting second sub-information of the second biometric information to the electronic device;
• and
• if the second sub-information of the second biometric information matches the second sub-information of the first biometric information, establishing a pairing with the electronic device through a wireless network.

An electronic device comprising:

• a sensor configured to sense a physical contact of a user and acquire first biometric information based on the sensed physical contact;
• a communicator configured to transmit first sub-information of the first biometric information to a terminal within a certain time from an instant of acquiring the first biometric information and receive, from the terminal, second sub-information of second biometric information of a user who uses the terminal;
• and
• a controller configured to compare second sub-information of the first biometric information corresponding to the second sub-information of the second biometric information with the second sub-information of the second biometric information;
• wherein, if it is determined as a result of the comparing that the second sub-information of the first biometric information matches the second sub-information of the second biometric information, the communicator establishes a pairing with the terminal through a wireless network.

A terminal comprising:

• a communicator configured to receive first sub-information of first biometric information from an electronic device;
• a sensor configured to acquire second biometric information of a user who uses the terminal, and
• a controller configured to compare first sub-information of the second biometric information corresponding to the first sub-information of the first biometric information with the first sub-information of the first biometric information;
• and
• wherein, if it is determined as a result of the comparing that the first sub-information of the second biometric information matches the first sub-information of the first biometric information, the communicator is further configured to transmit second sub-information of the second biometric information to the electronic device,
• wherein, if the second sub-information of the second biometric information matches the second sub-information of the first biometric information, the communicator is further configured to establish a pairing with the electronic device through a wireless network.
