A mobile terminal includes: a display unit; a camera configured to acquire an image of a peripheral device; a short-range communication module configured to perform wireless communication with the peripheral device; and a controller configured to control the display unit, the camera, and the short-range communication module. The controller identifies the peripheral device based on at least one of a marker included in the acquired image of the peripheral device and a shape of the peripheral device, performs pairing with the identified peripheral device, and displays the image of the paired peripheral device and information on the paired peripheral device on the display unit.
