Patent ID: 8600302

Claim:
A method of recognizing a module, comprising: checking, by a device, whether a first short-range communication module exists in a correspondent device using a first short-range communication scheme, wherein the device comprises the first short-range communication module communicating by the first short-range communication scheme and a second short-range communication module communicating by a second short-range communication scheme that differs from the first short-range communication scheme; when the first short-range communication module exists in the correspondent device and the first short-range communication module is a wireless LAN communication module, receiving vendor information from the first short-range communication module of the correspondent device by the first short-range communication scheme and checking whether the second short-range communication module exists in the correspondent device based on the vendor information that includes an organized unique identifier and a vendor information content, the organized unique identifier including short-range communication information, and the vendor information content including first identification information to identify the second short-range communication module in the correspondent device; when the second short-range communication module exists in the correspondent device, receiving second identification information from the second short-range communication module of the correspondent device by the second short-range communication scheme; and displaying an indication that both of the first short-range communication module and the second short-range communication module exist in the correspondent device when the first identification information matches the second identification information.
