1. A method, comprising:
- recognizing mobile terminals positioned within a coverage area for short range communication with a user-specific device based on identification information of each mobile terminal of the mobile terminals;
determining a priority of each mobile terminal among the mobile terminals,wherein the priority of a respective mobile terminal corresponds to a distance between the user-specific device and the respective mobile terminal;
selecting at least one mobile terminal among the recognized mobile terminals based on the identification information and the priority of the at least one mobile terminal; and
providing a customized service corresponding to the at least one selected mobile terminal based on the distance between the user-specific device and each mobile terminal.
