Abstract
A method for providing a User Interface (UI) list in a network by letting a specific terminal, which has an application communicating with a remote server, receive a request for the UI list from an arbitrary terminal; and providing at least one of a UI list provided from the remote server and a UI list included in the specific terminal using the application. The specific terminal may combine the UI list provided from the remote server and the UI list included in the specific terminal to thereby provide the arbitrary terminal with a combined list and the arbitrary terminal may select the desired remote UI through the provided UI list.

A method for providing a User Interface (UI) list in a remote system, the method comprising:
- executing, by a first terminal which communicates with a remote server, an application;
- on the basis of a message that an embedded server in the first terminal receives from the application,
- generating, by the embedded server in the first terminal, a new UI list by combining a UI list currently included in the embedded server and a UI list of the remote server enclosed in the message;
- receiving, by the embedded server in the first terminal, a request for the UI list from a second terminal;
- and
- sending, by the embedded server in the first terminal, the new UI list to the second terminal,
- wherein the new UI list includes information on a number of control Uls for controlling the application.
A terminal apparatus for providing a User Interface (UI) list in a remote UI system, the apparatus comprising:
- a browser including an application;
- and
- an embedded server,
- wherein the embedded server of the terminal apparatus, on the basis of a message received from the application, generates a new UI list by combining a UI list currently included in the embedded server and a UI list of a remote server enclosed in the message, and sends, via a transmitter of the terminal apparatus, the new UI list to an other terminal according to a reception of a request for the UI list from the other terminal, and
- wherein the new UI list includes information on a number of control Uls for controlling the application.
