Abstract: Disclosed is a clothing management apparatus. Disclosed clothing management apparatus comprises: memory; a steam generation apparatus for generating steam; a steam discharge member for spraying clothing with the steam generated by the steam generation apparatus; a temperature sensor for sensing the temperature inside the clothing management apparatus; and a processor which, when a clothing management start command is entered, stores the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor in memory, and controls the steam generation apparatus to carry out the action corresponding to the sensed temperature and clothing management start command, wherein, if an additional clothing management command is entered within a previously set time following an execution of an action corresponding to the clothing management start command, then the processor controls the steam generation apparatus to carry out the action corresponding to the temperature data stored in memory and additional clothing management command.

Abstract: A clothes care apparatus includes a chamber, a first damper, a second damper, a heat exchanger, at least one blower fan, a sensor portion, and a controller. The first damper is configured to control an airflow from inside the chamber to outside the chamber. The second damper is configured to control the airflow into the chamber from the outside. The heat exchanger is provided with a compressor and configured to exchange heat with air in the chamber. The at least one blower fan is configured to generate the airflow The sensor portion is configured to obtain a temperature and humidity inside and outside of the chamber. The controller is configured to start a drying cycle, control the first and second damper to be opened or closed, and control the heat exchanger and the at least one blower fan by comparing the internal humidity with the external humidity.

Abstract: A clothes care apparatus aimed to prevent drying errors of clothes, prevent a dry time from increasing, and reduce consumption power. The clothes care apparatus includes: a chamber configured to accommodate clothes; a humidity sensor positioned inside the chamber; a steam generator configured to supply steam to an inside of the chamber; and a controller configured to determine an amount of humidity change inside the chamber based on an output value from the humidity sensor during a steam process, and control the steam generator to supply the steam based on the amount of humidity change.
