Abstract: A laundry processing apparatus and a driving method thereof for driving a laundry processing apparatus by executing an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm and/or machine learning algorithm in a 5G environment connected for the Internet of Things are provided. The driving method may include obtaining a drive current of a motor and a rotational speed of a drum during a cycle of the laundry processing apparatus, classifying a type of load of laundry located inside the laundry processing apparatus based on the obtained drive current and rotational speed, determining whether to change a course of the laundry processing apparatus according to the type of load, outputting a recommended course corresponding to the type of load when a course change of the laundry processing apparatus is determined, and changing the cycle of the laundry processing apparatus to the recommended course upon receiving a selection signal for the recommended course.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method for predicting freezing of a washing machine, which predicts freezing of the washing machine based on a change of air temperature through an artificial intelligence algorithm and provides a freeze prediction result to a user terminal associated with the washing machine in a 5G environment, thereby preventing freezing of the washing machine. The apparatus for predicting freezing of the washing machine determines, based on temperature data sensed by a temperature sensor disposed in the washing machine and air temperature data received from a meteorological administration server, an association of temperature change of the washing machine according to the air temperature data, through the freezing prediction algorithm, and predicts freezing of the washing machine based on the association of temperature change of the washing machine and an air temperature forecast received from the meteorological administration server.
