Abstract: Control of a laundry treating apparatus, in which at least one of a dryness level and a percentage of water content of laundry received in a drum of the laundry treating apparatus is determined. A determination is made as to whether the laundry in the drum includes water-filled laundry based on at least one of the dryness level and the percentage of water content of the laundry in the drum. Dehydration drying of the laundry in the drum is controlled based on the determination of whether the laundry in the drum includes water-filled laundry.

Abstract: Provided is a method for preventing an accident related to children or pets that may occur by a home appliance using artificial intelligence. According to the present disclosure, the method for preventing the accident comprises comparing a distance between the home appliance and a generation position of the voice signal and a reference distance when the generation position of the voice signal is outside of the home appliance. Then, the present disclosure enables switching a door of the home appliance to a lock state when a distance between the home appliance and the generation position of the voice signal is less than the reference distance. Thus, the present disclosure may enable controlling the home appliance to prevent children or pets from entering an inside of the home appliance.

Abstract: A method of controlling a laundry treatment apparatus is disclosed. The method includes rotating the drum only in one direction among a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction so as to separate water from water contained in the drum, supplying water to the tub, rotating only the agitator to an angle less than 360 degrees so as to disperse laundry in the drum, rotating only the rotator to an angle of 360 degrees or more at a rotational speed that is higher than a rotational speed of the agitator set for the dispersion operation so as to supply water to the chamber, filtering water through the filter, and rotating only the agitator to an angle less than 360 degrees at a rotational speed that is higher than the rotational speed of the agitator set for the dispersion operation but is lower than the rotational speed set for the filtering operation.

Abstract: A washing machine includes an outer tub that is configured to holding water. The washing machine includes an inner tub that is configured to exchange water with the outer tub and that is configured to rotate. The washing machine includes a pulsator that is located in a lower portion of the inner tub and that is configured to rotate. A method to operate the washing machine includes the actions of, each time that a wash cycle runs after a previous self-cleaning course, storing a cumulative number of times the wash cycle has run since the previous self-cleaning course. The actions further include selecting a subsequent self-cleaning course. The actions further include configuring settings of the subsequent self-cleaning course based on the stored cumulative number of times the wash cycle has run since the previous self-cleaning course. The actions further include conducting the subsequent self-cleaning course according to the configured settings.

Abstract: A remote controllable laundry processing device includes: a cabinet main body including a door, a sensor unit configured to sense a locked state of the door, a manipulation unit provided for user input, a remote control setting unit configured to control the laundry processing device based on an external terminal, a controller configured to control an operation of the laundry processing device, and a communication unit configured to send the controller an input signal from the external terminal. The controller is configured, based on the door being in the locked state and regardless of whether a remote control has been set by the remote control setting unit, to control the laundry processing device in response to a first input signal from the manipulation unit and a second input signal from the external terminal and each of the first input signal and the second input signal is a pause signal.

Abstract: Provided is a home appliance that performs a washing or drying operation based on a start command input through artificial intelligence and voice recognition a method for controlling such a home appliance. According to the present disclosure, the home appliance and the method for controlling such a home appliance include a sensor that senses a state of a door installed in a washing unit and a controller that executes an operation command based on a change of a state of the door sensed by the sensor. At this time, when the door is changed from an open state to a close state after the power of the home appliance is turned on, the controller controls the operation of the washing unit based on the operation command extracted from the voice signal of the user. Thus, the present disclosure may enable performing an command to start an operation input based on voice recognition.
