1. A method for one or more processors of an electronic device comprising first communication circuitry and second communication circuitry, the method comprising:
based on detecting a mobile device using the first communication circuitry, sending connection information and information related to the electronic device directly to the mobile device using the first communication circuitry, wherein the connection information comprises information for establishing a direct connection between the electronic device and the mobile device using the second communication circuitry, wherein the information related to the electronic device comprises (i) information for identifying an application to be executed in the mobile device to remotely control the electronic device and (ii) search information for searching the application, wherein the application is automatically identified in the mobile device based on the information related to the electronic device sent from the electronic device using the first communication circuitry, and wherein based on a determination that the application is not installed in the mobile device, the mobile device uses the search information to automatically execute a search for the application in a server and download an installation file for the application from the server using the search information;
receiving a control signal from the mobile device via the direct connection established between the electronic device and the mobile device using the second communication circuitry based on the connection information, wherein the control signal is generated based on the application executed to remotely control the electronic device in the mobile device using the established direct connection; and
performing a function of the electronic device corresponding to the control signal.
