PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for managing services provided by devices in a home network. SOLUTION: A home network apparatus manages information related to services provided by all devices, and requests from a second device a substitute service capable of substituting for a service of a first device when the first device fails to provide the service. Accordingly, when a device from which a user requests a service cannot provide the service, the user does not need to directly search for a different device and again request the service from the different device.
