The present invention relates to a laundry handling apparatus and a control method therefor, the laundry handling apparatus being provided with multiple laundry units performing laundry independently of each other. If a first laundry unit and a second laundry unit simultaneously perform laundry and if laundry is not collected after any one laundry unit has completed laundering, the laundry handling apparatus operates with added laundry time according to the laundry time of the other laundry unit, thereby preventing the laundry from creasing and being damaged, and changes the laundry time such that the first and second laundry units finish laundering at the same time, thereby having the effect of facilitating laundry collection.

Disclosed is an electronic device. The electronic device comprises: a display and a processor, wherein, when at least one condition among the time required to treat an object and an object treatment completion time is input, the processor identifies a plurality of object treatment courses that comply with the condition, identifies the order of priority of the plurality of object treatment courses according to predetermined criteria, and controls the display to provide a list listing information about the plurality of object treatment courses on the basis of the identified order of priority, wherein the object treatment is a process in which an object is cleaned or dried by means of at least one among a cleaning operation and a drying operation.

An object treating apparatus includes a tub, a rotatable drum for receiving an object, an induction heater for heating an outer circumferential face of the drum, a motor for rotating the drum, an upper temperature sensor, a lower temperature sensor, and a processor. The upper temperature sensor detects a temperature of a space between the tub and the drum. The upper temperature sensor is disposed inside the tube at an upper portion of the tub. The lower temperature sensor detects a temperature around condensed water at a bottom of the tub. The lower temperature sensor is disposed inside the tub at a lower portion of the tub. The processor can determine a drying ending timing based on the temperatures detected by the upper and lower temperature sensors.
