transmitting, to the at least one medical device, a request for the information which relates to the at least one medical device via the established short-range communication link;

receiving, from the at least one medical device, the requested information via the short-range communication link; and

providing the received information.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the receiving the requested information comprises:

acquiring authentication information which indicates an access right of the mobile terminal with respect to the at least one medical device;

transmitting the acquired authentication information to the at least one medical device; and

when an authentication which relates to the authentication information has been completed, receiving the requested information from the at least one medical device.

13. The method of claim 11, wherein the information which relates to the at least one medical device comprises at least one from among manipulation method information which relates to the at least one medical device, quality control (QC) information, and update information which relates to the at least one medical device.

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the providing the received information comprises providing manual information which corresponds to learning progress information which relates to a user.

15. The method of claim 14, further comprising at least one from among transmitting, to the server, the learning progress information and storing the learning progress information in a memory.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein the providing the received information comprises:

receiving an input of a search word;

searching for information which corresponds to the search word; and

providing the information which is obtained as a result of the searching.

17. A method for providing information which relates to at least one medical device, the method being performable by a server, the method comprising:
