Abstract
A mobile terminal and a control method therefor are disclosed. The mobile terminal and the control method therefor of the present invention can: broadcast, to at least one external electronic device, advertising data and a signal for requesting the activation of a second layer included in a communication unit of the at least one external electronic device through a first layer related to low-power near field communication technology; pair with a specific electronic device through a second layer related to specific near field communication technology distinguished from the low-power near field communication technology, if a response to the activation request is received from the specific electronic device among the at least one external electronic device; and transmit data to the paired specific electronic device. According to the present invention, pairing can be performed so as to form a communication channel using second near field communication technology by using first near field communication technology of low energy, when a specific event occurs.
