Abstract
The mobile terminal supporting low energy short range communication function includes a low energy short range communication unit; a switching unit configured to receive low energy communication data from the low energy short range communication unit and outputs the low energy communication data; a first processor configured to receive the low energy communication data received from the low energy short range communication unit via the switching unit; and a second processor configured to receive the low energy communication data received from the low energy short range communication unit via the switching unit, wherein the second processor is configured to receive operation state information from the first processor; and control, when the operation state information is received, the switching unit to relay the low energy communication data to one of the first and second processors based on the operation state information.
