6 . The display apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

based on the plurality of third images being received from the plurality of electronic apparatuses, identify positions of the plurality of third images to be displayed on the display based on directions in which the plurality of electronic apparatuses are located relative to the display apparatus; and

display the plurality of third images on the display based on the identified positions.

7 . The display apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to determine a distance between the display apparatus and the electronic apparatus, and

determine whether to display the received image on the display based on the distance between the display apparatus and the electronic apparatus.

8 . A display apparatus comprising:

a communication interface;

a display; and

a processor configured to:

based on a first image being received from an electronic apparatus through the communication interface, display the received first image on the display, and

based on a plurality of third images being received from each of a plurality of electronic apparatuses, identify a number of images to be displayed on the display based on a distance between the display apparatus and the plurality of electronic apparatuses, and

display the identified number of images among the plurality of third images on the display,

wherein the first image is generated based on an application selected according to a first user command, and is transmitted to the display apparatus while the electronic apparatus displays a second image corresponding to a second user command input to the electronic apparatus,

wherein the first image is not displayed on the display of the electronic apparatus while the first image is displayed on the display apparatus,

wherein the second image is not displayed on the display apparatus while the second image is displayed on the display of the electronic apparatus, and

wherein the plurality of third images are generated based on a plurality of applications.

9 . An electronic apparatus comprising:

a memory;

a display;

a communication interface; and

a processor configured to:

based on a first user command for selecting a first application to be transmitted to a display apparatus among a plurality of applications stored in the memory, generate a first image based on the selected first application;

transmit the generated first image to the display apparatus through the communication interface;

based on a second user command for selecting a second application different from the first application, generate a second image based on the selected second application; and

display the second image corresponding to the second user command on the display while transmitting the generated first image to the display apparatus,

wherein the first image is not displayed on the display of the electronic apparatus while the first image is displayed on the display apparatus,

wherein the second image is not displayed on the display apparatus while the second image is displayed on the display of the electronic apparatus, and

wherein the second image includes a home screen of the electronic apparatus.

10 . The electronic apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the processor is further configured to, generate a plurality of third images based on a selected plurality of applications; and

transmit the generated plurality of third images to the display apparatus through the communication interface while display the second image on the display of the electronic apparatus.

11 .

12 . A method for controlling a display apparatus, the method comprising:

receiving a first image from an electronic apparatus; and

displaying the received first image,

wherein the first image is generated based on a first application selected according to a first user command, and transmitted to the display apparatus, while the electronic apparatus displays a second image corresponding to a second user command input to the electronic apparatus,

wherein the second image is generated based on a second application different from the first application,

wherein the first image is not displayed on the display of the electronic apparatus while the first image is displayed on the display apparatus,

wherein the second image is not displayed on the display apparatus while the second image is displayed on the display of the electronic apparatus,

wherein the second image includes a home screen of the electronic apparatus.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the displaying comprises, based on the first image and metadata of the first application being received from the electronic apparatus, identifying a category of the first application based on the metadata and displaying the first image based on the identified category.

14 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein the displaying comprises, based on a plurality of third images being received, displaying the plurality of third images, wherein the plurality of third images are generated based on a plurality of applications, and

wherein the plurality of third images are received from the electronic apparatus or received from each of a plurality of electronic apparatuses.
