1. A method for operating a display device, the method comprising:
detecting at least one sensing value by at least one sensor of a plurality of sensors of the display device;
identifying an exterior area touched by a mobile device among a plurality of exterior areas of the display device based on the at least one sensing value, each of the plurality of exterior areas being mapped to a corresponding function of a plurality of functions, the plurality of exterior areas comprising at least a first exterior area mapped to a first function among the plurality of functions and a second exterior area mapped to a second function among the plurality of functions; and
performing a function among the plurality of functions based on the identified exterior area,
wherein the performing of the function among the plurality of functions comprises:
based on the identified exterior area being the first exterior area, performing, by the display device, the first function of executing an application executed by the mobile device at a time the display device is touched by the mobile device, and
based on the identified exterior area being the second exterior area, performing, by the display device, the second function of displaying a screen displayed on the mobile device at the time the display device is touched by the mobile device.
