A clothing processing apparatus included in an Internet of Things (IoT) system is provided. The clothing processing apparatus includes a communication interface and a processor configured to perform a process including at least one clothing processing operation.

A method of operating a dryer appliance includes determining a remaining moisture content of a load of articles to be dried in the dryer appliance and estimating an energy requirement for drying the load of articles based on the determined remaining moisture content of the load of articles. The method also includes activating a heating system of the dryer appliance during a dry cycle of the dryer appliance while tracking an energy output of the heating system during the dry cycle. The method further includes comparing the tracked energy output to the estimated energy requirement. When the tracked energy output is greater than a predetermined threshold percentage of the estimated energy requirement, a user notification is provided.

A method for operating a clothes treating apparatus comprising a hot air supplying unit provided with a heater and a blowing device, and having a drying function of drying clothes by supplying hot air into a drum by use of the hot air supplying unit, includes rotating the drum with the clothes introduced therein, and supplying hot air into the drum by using the heater and the blowing device while the drum is rotated, wherein an air flow rate supplied by the blowing device changes during the hot air supplying step.

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.

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.

A drying device is provided. The device includes a frame having a base portion with a plurality of supporting castor wheels. A front support and a rear support extend upwardly from opposing ends of the base portion. A horizontal bar is affixed between the upper ends of the front and rear supports. The horizontal bar may include various configurations of hooks and extending rods for hanging sports equipment and garments for storage and drying. The height of horizontal bar can be adjusted by a push button adjuster. A flexible transparent cover is removably securable around the frame. A forced air heater is disposed on the base portion of the frame. The forced air heater includes a temperature control, a timer control, and a tip-over switch. The device further includes an ozone generator with a timer control for deodorizing the contents of the bag during the drying process.
