First Claim
1. A web service-enabling digital video/audio-processing apparatus, comprising:
- a first communication module which receives a web service address from an external device to perform a function;
a web service engine which checks whether a file contained in the web service address exists in a function list, and outputs the web service address if the file exists;

Abstract
A web service-enabling digital video/audio-processing apparatus, and web service method and system therefor are provided. A first communication module receives a web service address from an external device to carry out a certain function; a web service engine checks whether a file contained in the received web service address exists in a function list, and outputs the web service address to a first engine unit if the file exists. The first engine unit parses the web service address and generates a web language corresponding to the function; a function setting unit sets the function based on the web language; and a control unit performs the set function.

17. A web service-enabling digital video/audio-processing apparatus, comprising:
-
a storage unit which stores data for providing a web service;
a registration request unit which generates a registration request message for registering a list of web services in a Universal Discovery Description and Integration (UDDI) server;
a first SOAP engine which converts the registration request message into a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) format, and parses a web service address received from the web service requester;
a first UDDI module which converts the registration request message in the SOAP format into UDDI standards;
a first communication module which sends the registration request message converted into UDDI to the UDDI server, and receives the web service address from the web service requester; and
a first web service engine which reads data from storage unit data corresponding to the web service address, and converts the data into an extensible Markup Language (XML) format, based on a result obtained from parsing the web service address, wherein the first SOAP engine converts the data in the XML format into the SOAP format, and the first communication module sends the data in the SOAP format to the web service requester. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)

21. A web service method for receiving a broadcast signal, comprising:
-
registering, in a Universal Discovery Description and Integration (UDDI) server, a web service to be provided;
receiving from a web service requester a web service address corresponding to the web service registered in the UDDI server;
checking, by a web service engine, whether a file contained in the web service address exists in a function list;
parsing the web service address if the file exists;
reading data corresponding to the web service address and converting the data into an eXtensible Markup Language (XML) format based on a parsing result; and

23. A web service system, comprising:
-
a television (TV) which provides web services;
a web service requester which requests a search for a web service by using a Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP); and
a Universal Discovery Description and Integration (UDDI) server which checks whether the web service is registered, if the web service is searched from the web service requester, and sends, to the web service requester, an address of a web service provider providing the web service by using the SOAP, wherein the web service requester requests the web service to the web service provider based on the address of the web service provider, and the web service provider provides the web service to the web service requester. - View Dependent Claims (24)
