Abstract
A method and apparatus for contactless communication are discussed. According to an embodiment, the invention provides a mobile terminal comprising a contactless module configured to communicate contactlessly with an external device; and a controller configured to control the contactless module of the mobile terminal to detect a contactless module of the external device, to identify the external device based on information stored in or obtained through the contactless module of the external device, to authenticate a user of the external device based on the information and/or user input, to establish a communication channel between the mobile terminal and the external device based on the information, and to access data or execute an application through the established communication channel.
