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 method for controlling a laundry treatment apparatus is disclosed. The laundry treatment apparatus includes an upper treatment device and a lower treatment device. The upper treatment device includes a drying drum in which target laundry to be dried is placed, an upper driver to rotate the drying drum, a circulation passage unit through which air flows into or out of the drying drum, a heat exchanger to dehumidify and heat the air, and a steam generator to supply steam to the drying drum. The lower treatment device includes a tub to store wash water therein, a washing drum provided in the tub so that target laundry to be washed is put into the washing machine and the laundry is washed and dried, a tub heater provided in the tub to heat the wash water, and a lower driver to rotate the washing drum. The method for controlling the laundry treatment apparatus includes performing, by the lower treatment device, a washing course including a water supply step, a washing (rinsing) step, and a dehydration step, and performing, by the upper treatment device, a drying course including a hot air supply step, a fan operation step, and a dryness sensing step, wherein the lower treatment device performs the washing course by changing a configuration of at least one of an operation of the tub heater, an execution time of the washing course, and an operation of the lower driver according to a progress state of the drying course, thereby performing the washing course.

Disclosed herein is a laundry machine. More particularly, a laundry machine for generating steam by an induction heater and a control method thereof are disclosed. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, provided is a method of controlling a laundry machine including a tub, a drum rotatably arranged in the tub to accommodate an object and provided with a through hole on an outer circumferential surface thereof, and an induction heater provided to the tub, and configured to perform a steam operation. The steam operation may include heating a heating surface of the drum facing the induction heater by driving the induction heater, spraying, through a spray nozzle, water toward the heating surface heated in the heating operation, and rotating the drum such that the steam is introduced into the drum through the through hole in a space between the tub and the drum.

Disclosed herein is a method of controlling a laundry treating apparatus, if a user selects a uniform course, including performing a preheating operation of a heater to generate steam, performing a first cooling operation to operate a blower unit and a moving hanger after the preheating operation has been terminated, performing a steam operation to operate the blower unit and a steam unit and to circulate steam to a treating chamber after the first cooling operation has been terminated, performing a standby operation to operate the blower unit after the steam operation has been terminated, performing a second cooling operation to operate the blower unit after the standby operation has been terminated, and performing a drying operation to operate the blower unit and a heat pump unit and to provide heat to the treating chamber to dry the treating chamber after the second cooling operation has been terminated.

A dryer appliance may include a cabinet, a drum, an additive dispensing assembly, and a controller. The drum may be rotatably mounted within the cabinet. The drum may define a drying chamber for the receipt of clothes for drying. The additive dispensing assembly may be positioned within the cabinet and configured to selectively provide an additive to the drying chamber. The controller may be in operable communication with the additive dispensing assembly. The controller may be configured to initiate a drying operation. The drying operation may include initiating a dry cycle, detecting a static event during the dry cycle, and directing a supplemental dispensing action of a dryer additive in response to the detected static event
