Abstract: A method and system wherein a device remotely controls a user interface being executed in a remote device, using a remote user interface. The device discovers a server that supports a remote control interface. The device receives a list of remote devices that the device can control from the server. A selection input is received to select a remote device from the list of remote devices. A device selection request corresponding to the selection input is transmitted to the server. A remote control interface corresponding to the device selection request is received from the server. The selected remote device is controlled via the received remote control interface.

Abstract: A remote user interface system and method for effectively controlling functions of a client device and remote user interface rendered on the client device by means of a client-specific or content-specific control user interface rendered on a remote control device is provided. A method for controlling a remote user interface device with a remote control device includes broadcasting, at the remote control device, a discovery message for discovering the remote user interface device; performing, when a response is received, a capability exchange and matching with the remote user interface device; rendering a control user interface transmitted by the remote user interface device and displaying the rendered control user interface on a screen; and transmitting, when an input is detected on the control user interface, a control command corresponding to the input to the remote user interface device.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for delivering a Control User Interface (CUI) using an Electronic Program Guide (EPG) is provided for a broadcast system. A transmission apparatus for a digital broadcast system includes a provider that provides one or more of services and content. The apparatus also includes an information generator that generates EPG information including CUI information. The apparatus further includes a transmitter that transmits the EPG information and the one or more of the services and content. The CUI information is provided per service and per content.

Abstract: An Internet Protocol (IP) TeleVision (IPTV) service provision method and system is provided for providing both fixed and mobile device users with IPTV services. The IPTV service provision method of the present invention includes establishing, when a Mobile-IPTV terminal function (M-ITF) including a first Open IPTV Terminal Function (OITF) having a plurality of functional entities and an embedded gateway having a plurality gateway functions detects a gateway function of an IPTV Terminal Function (ITF) including a second OITF having a plurality of functional entities and a plurality of gateways, a link with the gateway function of the ITF; disabling the embedded gateway; requesting a service provider network for an IPTV service via the gateway function of the ITF; and establishing a service link with the service provider network to received the IPTV service.

Abstract: In a method of providing/receiving a user interface between a user interface client and a user interface server, when the user interface server encodes information on a plurality of user interface scenes in a multimedia data format and transmits the encoded information to the user interface client. The user interface client receives and reproduces the multimedia data so that a user interface may be displayed to which a variety of effect are applied considering individual characteristics of the user interface client such as performance of the user interface client and user preference.

Abstract: A method of displaying a user interface (UI), wherein the displaying is performed by a client, is provided. The method includes receiving UI data from a server, generating the UI to be displayed based on the received UI data and characteristics of the client and displaying the generated UI.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for generating a user interface (UI). The method receives a plurality of UIs from a plurality of servers and generates and displays a combined UI by combining (or aggregating) the plurality of UIs, so that a user can control a plurality of devices through a client.

Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for generating a mashup graph. The method includes receiving a set of services and collecting application programmable interfaces (APIs) of the services, and generating a mashup graph by using the collected APIs according to information regarding connections between the APIs and weights between the APIs. Thus, a mashup graph having a simple form in which a user's preference can be reflected can be generated, instead of a complicated connection matrix.
