Method for automatically connecting a short-range communication between two devices and apparatus for the same

Abstract

A method for automatically connecting two devices with each other through short-range communication an apparatus for the same are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a short-range communication module configured to enable short-range communication with an external device; an interrupt detector configured to sense an interrupt signal for short-range communication connection, which is received from the external device through the short-range communication module in a sleep mode where a standby power is supplied; and a controller, the interrupt detector wakes up the controller if the interrupt signal is sensed in the sleep mode, and the woken-up controller releases the sleep mode and controls the short-range communication module to perform short-range communication connection with the external device.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
