Abstract: A home appliance includes a tactile signal generator and a controller. The tactile signal generator has a first function which allows the home appliance to perform a predetermined function and a second function to generate a tactile signal. The controller determines whether an event is generated and controls the generation of the tactile signal generated by the tactile signal generator upon determination that the event is generated.

Abstract: Provided are a washing machine in which an auxiliary door can be safely and conveniently used, and a method of controlling the same. The auxiliary door through which laundry can be additionally put into the washing machine, is provided, and the auxiliary door can be safely locked/unlocked. Because an open/closed state of the auxiliary door can be indirectly determined through a locking/unlocking operation of the auxiliary door, even when a door opening/closing detecting device has broken down, the auxiliary door can be safely used. In addition, the auxiliary door is unlocked by default and conditions on which the auxiliary door is locked for safety if necessary, are minimized during an operation of the washing machine so that use convenience of the auxiliary door can be enhanced, and a locked state of the auxiliary door is maintained according to the amount of laundry so that the laundry can be safely put into the washing machine. Furthermore, when the auxiliary door is opened during an operation of the washing machine, the weight of the laundry can be detected again and a washing performance of the added laundry can be guaranteed through additional supply of water and time increase so that a user's reliance on a product can be enhanced.

Abstract: A washing machine that can determine a weight of laundry in consideration of the result of determination on whether the laundry is dry cloth or wet cloth, and a control method of the washing machine. Before washing starts, a drum rotates to measure a changed amount in water level, and it is determined whether laundry is dry cloth or wet cloth based on the changed amount in water level. If it is determined that the laundry is wet cloth, a weight of the laundry is accurately detected by using wet cloth weight criteria or by adding a weight according to the changed amount in water level, which leads to reducing water consumption, a washing time, and energy consumption while preventing laundry from being damaged.
