Terminal equipments are rapidly becoming as diverse like computer smart phone and tablet PC these days. According to these changes, service providers are developing and serving each Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services depending on the user's terminal equipments. However, these developments make inconsistent services and duplicate services causing waste of resources. Therefore, we suggest an IPTV execution tool independent on service deployment at IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). The IPTV execution tool is composed with the part of user's terminal design and part of Application Server (AS)'s service design. And, this tool reduces the dependence of the terminal platform and allows easy to develop IPTV services.
