摘要

A system and a method for providing devices (LD1, LD2, ...LDn) within a home network (l-n) with a service. The system (RS) is connected to a home network (l-n) in which a plurality of devices are connected to one another through the Internet (10), in order to provide a certain device (LD) in the home network (l-n) with a service, and includes a database that stores address information about a home network (l-n) that subscribes to the service, and information about a service recipient device (LD) within the home network. The system (RS) transmits a notifying message (402) to the service recipient device (LD) prior to providing the service to confirm whether the service recipient device (LD) can receive the service or not, and provides the service recipient device (LD) with the service (424) after receiving an affirmative response (422) from the service recipient device.
