Method and apparatus for identifying neighboring device

A user terminal for identifying a neighboring device, the user terminal comprising:

• a location information processing unit which obtains an actual location range within a field of vision provided through one of a viewfinder or a display of the user terminal, and extracts, at the user terminal, based on identification information and location information of a plurality of neighboring device received from the plurality of neighboring devices, identification information of at least one neighboring device in the actual location range within the field of vision provided through one of the viewfinder and the display of the user terminal, wherein the actual location range is within a predetermined range for short-distance wireless communication with the user terminal;
• an input and output unit which receives a selection of a neighboring device among the at least one neighboring device located within the field of vision provided through one of the viewfinder and the display of the user terminal;
• a wireless communication unit which receives the identification information and location information of the plurality of neighboring devices from the plurality of neighboring devices, and requests, based on identification information of the selected neighboring device, the selected neighboring device to perform short-distance wireless communication with the user terminal;
• and
• a media signal processing unit which photographs a view within a field of vision provided through one of the viewfinder and the display of the user terminal and generates a media signal.
