5. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the direct connection established between the mobile device and the speaker device provides for direct transmission and reception of data between the mobile device and the speaker device without an access point.
6. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the application information further includes identification information for identifying the application, and command information for executing the application.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the application information includes search information which is used for searching, by the mobile device, for the application in a server when the application is not installed in the mobile device such that the mobile device downloads an installation file for the application from the server using the search information.
8. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the connection information further includes a manufacturer name of the speaker device.
9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving data of content from the mobile device using the second communication circuitry.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the receiving of the data of the content and the receiving of the control signal are performed simultaneously.
11. A speaker device comprising:
first communication circuitry;
second communication circuitry; and
one or more processors configured to:
based on detecting a mobile device using the first communication circuitry, send connection information and application information directly to the mobile device using the first communication circuitry, the connection information for establishing a direct connection between the speaker device and the mobile device using the second communication circuitry, the application information for identifying an application to be executed in the mobile device to remotely control the speaker device based on a control signal to be sent to the speaker device,
receive the control signal from the mobile device via the direct connection established between the speaker device and the mobile device using the second communication circuitry based on the connection information, and
perform a function of the speaker device corresponding to the control signal.
12. The speaker device of claim 11 ,
wherein the first communication circuitry is configured to communicate in a near field communication (NFC) protocol.
13. The speaker device of claim 11 , wherein the second communication circuitry is configured to communicate in a wireless fidelity (Wi-Fi) Direct protocol or a Bluetooth protocol.
14. The speaker device of claim 13 , wherein the connection information includes a service set identifier (SSID) and authentication information which relate to the Wi-Fi Direct protocol, or the connection information includes a media access control (MAC) address related to the speaker device.
15. The speaker device of claim 11 ,
wherein the direct connection established between the mobile device and the speaker device provides for direct transmission and reception of data between the mobile device and the speaker device without an access point.
16. The speaker device of claim 11 ,
wherein the application information further includes identification information for identifying the application, and command information for executing the application.
17. The speaker device of claim 11 , wherein the application information includes search information which is used for searching by the mobile device, for the application in a server when the application is not installed in the mobile device such that the mobile device downloads an installation file for the application from the server using the search information.
18. The speaker device of claim 11 ,
wherein the connection information further includes a manufacturer name of the speaker device.
19. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions recorded thereon, the instructions configured to be executed by at least one circuit to enable the at least one circuit to perform at least one operation, the at least one operation comprising:
based on detecting a mobile device using first communication circuitry, sending connection information and application information directly to the mobile device using the first communication circuitry, the connection information for establishing a direct connection between a speaker device and the mobile device using second communication circuitry, the application information for identifying an application to be executed in the mobile device to remotely control the speaker device based on a control signal to be sent to the speaker device;
