The present invention relates to an online system and a control method therefor, the online system comprising a clothing apparatus which may determine a cycle or an option by calculating the contamination level and wrinkling of clothes, or intensively treat parts that are contaminated or wrinkled, or recommend laundering with a washing machine when the contamination level or wrinkling is equal to or greater than a reference value, or induce a server or a washing machine to determine an appropriate cycle or option for laundering the clothes.

A clothes treatment apparatus includes a cabinet including an inlet, a first chamber positioned inside the cabinet and defining a space for accommodating clothes through the inlet, and a hanger bar positioned in the first chamber and configured to hold clothes accommodated in the first chamber. The apparatus further includes a driver including: a motor configured to generate torque; a vibrating body configured to support the motor and vibrate alternately in opposite rotation directions by rotation of the motor; and a motion converter configured to rotate together with the vibrating body and convert the vibration of the vibrating body in connection with the hanger bar such that the hanger bar reciprocates along a predetermined movement direction. The hanger bar is configured to reciprocate with different amplitudes and periods depending on a number of times that the motor rotates.

A method and apparatus for an adaptive heat pump clothes dryer is provided. The clothes dryer includes an air flow path, a plurality of sensors, a bypass and a hardware controller. The air flow path is configured to circulate air through the clothes dryer. The sensors are located at multiple points on the air flow path and are configured to detect a plurality of measurements. The bypass is located on the air flow path between an outlet of a drum and an inlet of a heat pump and is configured to divert an amount of the water vapor from the air flow path. The hardware controller is configured to control the amount of water vapor expelled from the air flow path by adjusting the bypass using a partial condensation fraction based on the plurality of measurements.

The invention relates to a device for particle sizing of particles distributed in a fluid within a household appliance, comprising at least one first emission means emitting a first electromagnetic radiation along a first optical axis into the fluid present in a test volume, at least one first measuring means detecting at least one characteristic of a second electromagnetic radiation emerging from the fluid an evaluation means provided and adapted to evaluate the characteristics of the second electromagnetic radiation, whereby particle sizes can be detected using reference characteristics, wherein the emitted first electromagnetic radiation is quasi-monochromatic or is a sequence of predetermined wavelengths within a predetermined time interval, the first measuring means being arranged off the first optical axis

The present disclosure relates to a cabinet including an inlet on a front side thereof; a first chamber positioned inside the cabinet and defining a space for accommodating clothes through the inlet; a second chamber positioned under the first chamber and defining a space separated from the first chamber; a hanger bar positioned in the first chamber and configured to hold the clothes accommodated in the first chamber; and a driver including: a motor configured to generate torque; a vibrating body configured to support the motor and vibrate alternately in a first rotation direction and a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction by rotation of the motor; and a motion converter configured to rotate together with the vibrating body and convert the vibration of the vibrating body in connection with the hanger bar such that the hanger bar reciprocates along a predetermined movement direction, wherein the hanger bar is configured to reciprocate with different amplitudes and periods depending on a number of times that the motor rotates.

A method of controlling a dryer includes rotating a drum within the dryer in a first direction, detecting at least one of temperature or relative humidity of air discharged from the drum while the drum is rotating in the first direction, and sensing occurrence of entanglement inside the drum by comparing a variation rate of at least one of the detected temperature or the detected relative humidity with a corresponding reference value. The method also includes, based on sensing that the entanglement has occurred, reversing a rotation direction of the drum by rotating the drum in a second direction that is opposite the first direction, and further, based on reversing the rotation direction of the drum upon sensing that the entanglement has occurred, maintaining the second direction of rotation of the drum for a preset time.

The present invention relates to a method for controlling a clothes treatment apparatus that comprises: a first chamber in which clothes are accommodated; a support part which is provided in the first chamber and in which the clothes are held; a driving unit for making the support part reciprocate along the width direction of the first chamber; a circulation duct for drawing air out from inside the first chamber and then resupplying the air into the first chamber; a heat exchange part for sequentially dehumidifying and heating the air that has flowed into the circulation duct; a fan provided inside the circulation duct; a moisture supply unit for supplying moisture into the first chamber; a sensing unit for measuring at least one among the concentration of dust and the concentration of odor particles contained in the air in the first chamber; and a display unit on which information is displayed.

The present invention relates to an online system and a control method therefor, the online system comprising clothing devices which may receive physical information of a user, notify of a change in the physical information, register clothing information held by the user, put together the schedule of the user, weather, preferences, the trend in the area where the user is located, and information on the clothing being sold, and recommend customized clothing to the user.

A clothes treatment apparatus includes: a first chamber in which clothes are accommodated; a support part which is provided in the first chamber and in which the clothes are held; a driving unit for making the support part reciprocate along the width direction of the first chamber; a circulation duct for drawing air out from inside the first chamber and then resupplying the air into the first chamber; a heat exchange part for sequentially dehumidifying and heating the air that has flowed into the circulation duct; a fan provided inside the circulation duct; a moisture supply unit for supplying moisture into the first chamber; a sensing unit for measuring at least one among the concentration of dust and the concentration of odor particles contained in the air in the first chamber; and a display unit on which information is displayed.

A dryer appliance and sensor assembly are provided. The sensor assembly may include a sensor housing, an appliance sensor, a wireless transmission tag, and a wireless tag reader. The sensor housing may extend within a drum and define a compartment proximate a space for the receipt of clothes. The appliance sensor may be positioned on the sensor housing. The wireless transmission tag may be positioned within the compartment. The wireless transmission tag may be in communication with the appliance sensor. The wireless tag reader may be in operable communication with the wireless transmission tag.
