display the information based on the sensor data on the display, based on the hardware abstraction layer and the framework.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The home appliance of claim 1, wherein the image received from the server or the mobile terminal comprises a weather information image, a clock information image, or a background image.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The home appliance of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to:
in a background screen display mode, display a background image received from the server or the mobile terminal, and
in a home screen display mode, display the information based on the sensor data on the display.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The home appliance of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to, in a home screen display mode, display the information based on the sensor data on a first area within the home screen, and display a weather information image or clock information image received from the server or the mobile terminal on a second area within the home screen.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The home appliance of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to, in the framework, execute an Android open source part, an Android extension part, a home appliance common extension part, and a product extension part, separately.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The home appliance of claim 5, wherein the processor is configured to, in a background screen display mode, execute a server communication service within the framework, receive a background image from the server or the mobile terminal through the server communication service, and display the background image on the display through the Android extension part.

### Claim 7 (depends on 5)

The home appliance of claim 5, wherein the processor is configured to, in a home screen display mode, execute a server communication service and a home screen service within the framework, receive a weather information image or a clock information image from the server or the mobile terminal through the server communication service, and display the weather information image or the clock information image on the display through the home screen service and the Android extension part.

### Claim 8 (depends on 5)

The home appliance of claim 5, wherein the processor is configured to, in a home screen display mode, execute a home screen service within the framework, and display the information based on the sensor data on the display, through the hardware abstraction layer, the home screen service, and the Android extension part.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The home appliance of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to, in response to receiving a remote control signal based on Infra Red (IR) signal from a remote control device, turn on the display, based on the hardware abstraction layer.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The home appliance of claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to, in response to receiving a remote control signal based on Infra Red (IR) signal from a remote control device, execute a home screen service within the framework, and display the home screen, based on the hardware abstraction layer and the home screen service.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)
