Abstract
A method for providing a user interface (UI) for each user and a device applying the same are provided. The method displays an icon indicating that a user has approached, if the user approaches an approach recognition area, and displays a personalized area allocated to the user, if a manipulation to select the icon is input. Accordingly, the user uses the device simply by approaching the device without going through an extra log-in process, so that the user can use the device more easily.
