The display apparatus includes a display that displays an application execution screen, the application execution screen displaying an application; a communication unit that communicates with an external server and an external device that remotely controls the display apparatus; and a control unit that transmits to the external device a generation signal that instructs the external device to generate an application control screen in response to receiving an input command to execute the application, controls the communication unit to receive a command from the external device input through the application control screen, and operates the application according to the received command. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method performed in a display apparatus for executing an application, the method comprising: connecting via a communication unit with a mobile terminal device operating as a remote controller that controls the display apparatus; receiving, via the communication unit, a control signal for controlling the display apparatus; controlling the display apparatus to perform a function corresponding to the control signal; receiving, via the communication unit, an application download command corresponding to an application that is not installed on the display apparatus, wherein the application download command is generated based on a user command inputted through an application information displayed on the mobile terminal device; transmitting, via the communication unit an application download request, to an external server based on the application download command; receiving, via the communication unit, the application from the external server; and installing the application on the display apparatus. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the application download command is generated based on the user command inputted on an image corresponding to the application information displayed on the mobile terminal device while the display apparatus is connected via the communication unit with the mobile terminal device. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising: receiving application control screen data that corresponds to the application from the external server; transmitting the application control screen data to the mobile terminal device; and transmitting to the mobile terminal device, a generation signal that instructs the mobile terminal device to generate and display an application control screen for controlling the application using the application control screen data. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the generation signal includes the application control screen data and a command that instructs the mobile terminal device to generate the application control screen. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The method as claimed in claim 3, wherein the generation signal is a signal configured according to parameters of the application and instructs the mobile terminal device to display the application control screen in a form of a user interface window that includes at least one of a region for receiving an application dedicated control command or an image. ### Claim 6 A display apparatus comprising: a display; a communication unit; and a control unit configured to: control the communication unit to connect with a mobile terminal device operating as a remote controller that controls the display apparatus, receive, via the communication unit, a control signal for controlling the display apparatus from the mobile terminal device, perform a function corresponding to the control signal, receive, via the communication unit, an application download command corresponding to an application that is not installed on the display apparatus, wherein the application download command is generated based on a user command inputted through application information displayed on the mobile terminal device, control the communication unit to transmit an application download request to an external server based on the application download command, receive, via the communication unit, the application from the external server, and install the application on the display apparatus. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein the application download command is generated based on the user command inputted on image corresponding to the application information displayed on the mobile terminal device while the display apparatus is connected via the communication unit with the mobile terminal device. ### Claim 8 (depends on 6) The display apparatus as claimed in claim 6, wherein the control unit is further configured to receive application control screen data that corresponds to the application from the external server, transmit the application control screen data to the mobile terminal device, and transmit to the mobile terminal device, a generation signal that instructs the mobile terminal device to generate and display an application control screen for controlling the application using the application control screen data. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The display apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the generation signal includes the application control screen data and a command that instructs the mobile terminal device to generate the application control screen. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The display apparatus as claimed in claim 8, wherein the generation signal is a signal configured according to parameters of the application and instructs the mobile terminal device to display the application control screen in a form of a user interface window that includes at least one of a region for receiving an application dedicated control command or an image.
