The present disclosure discloses an intelligent clothing washing management device, a method and a washing machine thereof. The intelligent clothing washing management device at least comprises a clothing module and a washing procedure recommendation module, a storage module and a processing module. The device is arranged at an intelligent terminal, and the intelligent terminal is communicatively connected with a washing device. The washing procedure recommendation module, according to the clothing selected by the clothing module, recommends preferred washing parameters by information stored in the storage module. The processing module receives the washing parameters recommended by the washing procedure recommendation module and controls the washing device. The intelligent clothing washing management device provided in the present disclosure, when users select to wash clothing of various types, different materials and different colors, recommends the most appropriate washing procedure automatically through analysis and processing.

The present disclosure relates to a washing machine control unit configured to control components of a washing machine to perform a dedicated washing cycle specifically adapted to reduce detachment of microfibres. The washing machine control unit comprises a processor, a component interface configured to be connected with at least one component of the washing machine and to transmit a control signal to the at least one component, and a memory configured to store processor-executable instructions. The processor, when executing the processor-executable instructions stored in the memory, is configured to receive a user input to apply the dedicated washing cycle specifically adapted to reduce detachment of microfibres, and configure the component interface to transmit control signals to the at least one component to perform the dedicated washing cycle.

The present disclosure relates to a method for reducing detachment of microfibres from garment in a washing cycle of a washing machine (100). The method comprises receiving (312) a fabric type user input specifying a type of fabric of the garment placed in the washing machine, determining (332) a type of fabric of the garment in the washing machine, calculating (352) a risk level based on the fabric type user input and the determined type of fabric, the risk level indicating a risk that microfibres can be detached from the garment during the washing cycle, and if the risk level is determined to be high, outputting (376) information indicating to perform a dedicated washing cycle specifically adapted to reduce detachment of microfibres. The present disclosure further relates to a washing system, a mobile terminal, and a washing machine, each configured to perform the method.

A home appliance has a control field (A) for selecting and setting a program and program option. The control field includes: a plurality of program indicators (2.1-2.5) each having an associated program symbol (2.1a-2.5a), a plurality of program option indicators (4.1-4.5, 6.1-6.4, 8.1-8.4) each having an associated program option symbol (4.1a-4.5a, 6.1a-6.4a, 8.1a-8.4a), a user-operable program selector (2), and a plurality of user-operable program option selectors (4, 6, 8). The program selector (2) and the program option selectors (4, 6, 8) are arranged in an inner region (II) of the control field (A). The program indicators (2.1-2.5) and program option indicators (4.1-4.5, 6.1-6.4, 8.1-8.4) are arranged in a first region (III) at least partially surrounding the inner region (II). The program symbols and the program option symbols are arranged in a second region (IV) at least partially surrounding the first region (III). At least one program symbol (2.1a-2.5a) is assigned to and arranged proximate to each one of the program indicators (2.1-2.5), and at least one program option symbol (4.1a-4.5a, 6.1a-6.4a, 8.1a-8.4a) is assigned to and arranged proximate to each one of the program option indicators (4.1-4.5, 6.1-6.4, 8.1-8.4).

An apparatus and method for controlling a drying cycle of a laundry treating appliance by monitoring a temperature of the exhaust air flow.

An electronic apparatus is provided. An electronic apparatus includes a memory in which an application is stored, a display, and a processor which executes the application so that, when context information about a user is received, the care course and the care order of each of a plurality of clothing care devices registered in the application are identified on the basis of the received context information about the user, and which controls the display so that a user interface (UI) including customized care information about the user is provided on the basis of the identified care course and care order of each of the plurality of clothing care devices.

A laundry treating apparatus for performing a processing operation for laundry includes a control panel to input a control signal. The apparatus includes a body to accommodate laundry and a cover defining an exterior of the body. The cover includes a through hole. The control panel is partially exposed to an exterior of the cover through the through hole. The control panel includes a bracket having a bracket hole corresponding to the through hole. The control panel includes a window having a front surface in direct contact with a rear surface of the bracket, other than an area corresponding to the through hole and the bracket hole. A touch screen is located at a rear surface of the window. A coating guide is configured to support the window and the touch screen on a rear surface of the touch screen. The coating guide is coupled to the bracket.

A method may include obtaining one or more images of the washing machine appliance from a camera assembly of a remote device and detecting a fiducial reference on a front portion of the washing machine appliance within the one or more images. The method may also include comparing the detected fiducial reference to a two-dimensional reference shape in an obtained image of the images and determining a set camera angle for the camera assembly is met based on the comparison in the obtained image. The method may further include analyzing the obtained image using a machine learning image recognition process and estimating a load attribute of a load of clothes within the washing machine appliance based on the analysis. The method may still further include directing a wash cycle within the washing machine appliance based on the estimated load attribute.
