First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method in which a first device joining in device to device direct communication transmits a discovery signal, the method comprising:
- transmitting a first discovery signal for discovering a device; and
transmitting a second discovery signal for discovering a service,wherein the first discovery signal comprises;
a first field representing whether the first discovery signal is a signal for discovering a device or a signal for discovering a service; and
a second field comprising one of device identifier information (Device ID) of the first device and service information of a service that the first device provides according to a value of the first field,wherein the second discovery signal is formed in the same format as that of the first discovery signal.

15. A method in which a first device joining in direct communication receives a discovery signal, the method comprising:
-
receiving the discovery signal; determining whether the received discovery signal is a signal for discovering a device or a signal for discovering a service based on a value that is stored at a first field of the received discovery signal; acquiring, when the discovery signal is a signal for discovering a device, device identifier information (Device ID) that is stored at a second field of the discovery signal; and acquiring, when the discovery signal is a signal for discovering a service, service information that is stored at the second field of the discovery signal, wherein the discovery signal comprises; the first field representing whether the discovery signal is a signal for discovering a device or a signal for discovering a service; and the second field comprising one of the Device ID of a device that transmits the discovery signal and the service information of a service that a device that transmits the discovery signal provides according to a value of the first field. - View Dependent Claims (16)
