METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PEER-TO-PEER CONNECTION USING WIRELESS LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) IN MOBILE COMMUNICATION TERMINAL
First Claim
1. A method for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connection using a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) in a mobile communication terminal, the method comprising:
- detecting a P2P connection attempt of a new terminal not connected to P2P communication, during P2P communication with at least one terminal;
determining whether the mobile communication terminal operates as at least one of a slave terminal and a group owner in the P2P connection; and
when the mobile communication terminal operates as the slave terminal, transmitting a signal indicating that the P2P connection attempt of the new terminal is detected, to a terminal operating as the group owner in the P2P connection.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connection using a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) in a mobile communication terminal are provided. The method includes detecting a P2P connection attempt of a new terminal not connected to P2P communication, during P2P communication with at least one terminal, determining whether the mobile communication terminal operates as a slave terminal or a group owner in the P2P connection, and when the mobile communication terminal operates as the slave terminal, transmitting a signal indicating that the P2P connection attempt of the new terminal is detected, to a terminal operating as the group owner in the P2P connection.

9. An apparatus for Peer-to-Peer (P2P) connection using a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) in a mobile communication terminal, the apparatus comprising:
-
a controller for detecting a P2P connection attempt of a new terminal not connected to P2P communication, during P2P communication with at least one terminal, and determining whether the mobile communication terminal operates as at least one of a slave terminal and a group owner in the P2P connection; and a communication module for, when the mobile communication terminal operates as the slave terminal, transmitting a signal indicating that the P2P connection attempt of the new terminal is detected, to a terminal operating as the group owner in the P2P connection under control of the controller. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
