Disclosed is a method for drying laundry using an intelligent washer. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, a method for drying laundry trains a time prediction model for obtaining first remaining time information related to complete dryness of the laundry, obtains first washer state information related to a state of a washer for drying the laundry, obtains the first remaining time information by inputting the first washer state information to the trained time prediction model, and dries the washer based on the obtained first remaining time information, thus precisely predicting the time necessary for complete dryness of wet laundry. According to an embodiment, the washer may be related to artificial intelligence (AI) modules, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), robots, augmented reality (AR) devices, virtual reality (VR) devices, and 5G service-related devices.

A method is provided for controlling a laundry treating apparatus. The method may include controlling the drum to accelerate the drum to rotate at a first speed, applying a brake to stop the drum, accelerating the drum to a second speed, sensing a current being applied to the motor while the drum is accelerated to the second speed, and determining a laundry amount based on the sensed current.

The invention relates to a laundry treating appliance and method for controlling the operation of the laundry treating appliance by determining the surface area of the laundry based on image data of the laundry.

Disclosed herein is a clothes treatment apparatus. The clothes treatment apparatus includes a drum configured to accommodate clothes, an inputter configured to receive one of a plurality of programs and configured to receive a start command, a storage configured to store information on a setting time corresponding to a weight of clothes for each program and configured to store information on a default time for each program previously executed, in the form of tables, a processor configured to detect a weight of clothes when any one program is received and a start command is received, configured to identify a setting time corresponding to the detected weight of clothes and the received program, configured to control the execution of the received program based on the identified setting time, and configured to store an operation time, which is taken until the completion of the received program, as a default time, and a display configured to display a remaining time during the execution of the received program.

A clothes care apparatus according to a disclosed embodiment includes: a chamber; an upper fan provided on an upper side of the chamber and configured to move air in a lower side direction of the chamber; a lower fan provided on a lower side of the chamber and configured to move air in an upper side direction of the chamber; a first motor configured to rotate the lower fan; a steam generating device configured to generate steam by heating water; and a controller configured to control on/off of the steam generating device and the first motor and turn on the steam generating device in a first section for supplying the generated steam into the chamber and turn on the first motor in a second section for dispersing the steam by the air moving into the chamber.

The present invention relates to a household appliance and a method for controlling same. The household appliance includes: at least one chamber for accommodating a to-be-processed object and at least one door for closing the chamber; a collection module, at least for collecting a time signal when the door is opened; a controller, connected to the collection module to receive and analyze the time signal generated by the collection module when the door is opened, count a high-frequency time segment when the door is opened in a predetermined time period T1, and generate a control signal for controlling an operation state of a function loading module; and the function loading module, connected to the controller to receive the control signal for controlling operation of the function loading module. Therefore, the present invention provides a household appliance with a new control method.

An apparatus and a method of operating a laundry treating appliance treating laundry according to a cycle of operation having by determining a parameter indicative of a change in packing density of the laundry in a treating chamber and taking an operating action based on the determined parameter.

A laundry appliance includes a camera for determining whether the drum is rotating during operation of the appliance. A controller is operably coupled to the camera. The controller is configured for obtaining one or more images of the drum during operation of the appliance. An artificial intelligence image recognition process is used to perform image classification and determine whether a drum rotation fault has occurred. In the event of a drum rotation fault, operation of the laundry appliance is adjusted.

A laundry appliance includes a camera for determining the air flow through an appliance during operation. A controller is operably coupled to the camera. The controller is configured for obtaining one or more images of an air flow indicator positioned in the path of the air flow. An artificial intelligence image recognition process is used to perform image classification and determine whether air flow through the appliance is fully or partially obstructed based on the amount of deflection of the air flow indicator. In the event of an air flow obstruction, operation of the laundry appliance is adjusted.

An electronic apparatus includes a memory storing information on a trained first artificial intelligence model and second artificial intelligence model, a communication interface, and a processor. The processor is configured to, based on weight information of laundry before washing and washing course information being received from a washing machine, input the received weight information of the laundry before washing and the washing course information into the first artificial intelligence model to acquire weight information of the laundry after washing. The processor or is also configured to input the acquired weight information of the laundry after washing and drying course information into the second artificial intelligence model to acquire drying time information for a drying process. The processor is further configured to transmit the acquired drying time information to at least one of the washing machine or a drying machine through the communication interface.
