1. A method for operating a Near Field Communication (NFC)-enabled mobile terminal, the method comprising:
- performing, by the mobile terminal, tagging with a remote controller to establish communication with the remote controller;
receiving, by the mobile terminal, at least one of device information and user information from the remote controller through the communication;
displaying an electronic device application list screen including a plurality of item corresponding to a plurality of external devices based on the tagging, wherein an item corresponding to the remote controller in the electronic device application list screen is highlighted;
upon a selection of the item in the electronic device application list screen, displaying a remote control screen on a display unit of the mobile terminal based on the device information; and
transmitting, by the mobile terminal, a remote control signal corresponding to the user'"'"'s selection to an external device, based on the at least one of the device information and the user information,wherein the remote control screen includes state information of the external device corresponding to the selected item in the electronic device application list screen, and a remote control item for remotely controlling the external device.
