ABSTRACT:
A method for accessing the Internet using an Internet TV is provided. A function of accessing the Internet and a function of receiving a TV broadcast signal may be combined in the Internet TV, and a server operates a portal site which provides a variety of information to the Internet TV. In order for a server operating a portal site to provide an authentication number to the Internet TV which allows the Internet TV to automatically access the server, the Internet TV transmits a message requesting the authentication of the use of information to the portal server, and the server responds by requesting the Internet TV to input an authentication number. After the Internet TV has transmitted the requested authentication number to the portal server and the server has checked the transmitted authentication number, information is provided to the Internet TV. Because the portal server provides the authentication number to each Internet TV, the portal server is able to confirm the access authority of each Internet TV, thus allowing each Internet TV to automatically access the portal server without an individual user login.
