摘要

PURPOSE: An image forming device, an OSGi(Open Service Gateway initiative)-based service installing method thereof, an OSGi-based service providing method thereof, and an electrically decodable recording medium thereof are provided to perform the UI extension of a first bundle by displaying an UI(User Interface) corresponding to UI extension information on a task area of a UI window supplied by the first bundle. CONSTITUTION: A UI unit(120) receives a service executing command for a first bundle. A control unit(160) displays an UI of a second bundle including UI extension information of the first bundle on a task area of a UI window corresponding to the first bundle. If the UI of the second bundle is selected, the control unit operates a service engine of the second bundle based on information included in the UI window corresponding to the first bundle and displays an execution result of the service engine of the second bundle.
