Abstract
A method and an apparatus for automatically connecting a wireless Local Area Network (LAN) between digital devices and executing an application program based on the wireless LAN, and more particularly; an apparatus and a method for generating device information indicating attributes in a digital device and obtaining attributes of a peripheral device by analyzing device information of the peripheral device. The apparatus includes a device information generation part configured to generate device information including information about attributes by analyzing the attributes of the digital device. The apparatus also includes a device recognition part configured, when receiving device information of a peripheral device, to obtain attribute information of a device corresponding to the received device information. The apparatus further includes a controller configured to control to transmit the device information generated by the device information generation part, to the peripheral device.

23. An apparatus in a digital device to connect to a wireless network, the apparatus comprising:
-
a communication unit configured to receive device information from at least one peripheral device, wherein the device information comprises information about attributes of each of the at least one peripheral devices; and a controller configured to; determine a threshold used to determine a proximity of the peripheral device using the received device information, measure a receive signal strength of the peripheral device, control the communication unit to establish a connection with the peripheral device if the measured receive signal strength is greater than the threshold, and output information requesting to move close to the peripheral device if the measured receive signal strength is less than or equal to the threshold. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32)
