Abstract
A method for establishing a user interface suitable for plural clients each having a different user interface is provided. In a home network including a service server and at least one client, the client requests a user interface generator from the service server, and a client profile to the service server. The client receives a modified user interface generator suitable for the client profile, and creates a user interface using the modified user interface generator. If the client can not create the user interface, the service server or the client may request a user interface generation unit to create the user interface.
