Abstract
A mobile terminal includes: a display; a short-range communication module; and a controller configured to establish a communication link with at least one first terminal located within a predetermined distance by using the short-range communication module, obtain second information associated with first information when the first information is obtained through the established communication link, and display the same on the display. Based on information obtained through a short-range communication link, information associated with the obtained information is obtained, thereby providing various services by using short-range communication.
Claims17
A mobile terminal comprising:
- a display;
- a NFC communication module to establish a NFC communication link when the mobile terminal is tagged to at least one first terminal;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- establish the NFC communication link with the at least one first terminal,
- obtain payment information for a payment via the NFC communication link,
- obtain handover information via the NFC communication link,
- establish a wireless internet link that is different from the NFC communication link,
- obtain pertinent information via the wireless internet link, and
- display the payment information and the pertinent information on the display.
