Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a first device performed by a control device using the Bluetooth. The present invention provides a method and apparatus including receiving a first advertising message from a first device; calculating a first distance value that indicates a distance with the first device based on the first advertising message; receiving a second advertising message from a second device when the first distance value is smaller than a threshold value preconfigured to determine a proximity with the control device; and calculating a second distance value that indicates a distance with the second device based on the second advertising message, where a Bluetooth connection is established between the first device and the second device when the second distance value is smaller than the threshold value.
