Artificial intelligence-based clothing managing apparatus

A clothing treatment apparatus comprising:

• a cabinet;
• a clothing portion that is disposed in the cabinet and that is configured to receive clothing in a hanging manner;
• a door that is provided on the cabinet and that is configured to open and close the clothing portion;
• a camera that is disposed on the cabinet or the door and that is configured to generate image information of the clothing hung in the clothing portion;
• a user interface that is disposed on the door and that is configured to receive, from a user, treatment information for the clothing;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• obtain a learning result from a learning operation using image information previously acquired by the camera and treatment information previously acquired through the user interface,
• perform augmentation and classification of image information currently acquired by the camera with respect to the learning result to match the currently acquired image information to the previously acquired image information,
• based on the augmentation and classification, generate and set current treatment information for the clothing hung in the clothing portion, and
• control the clothing treatment apparatus to treat the clothing hung in the clothing portion based on the set current treatment information,
• wherein the learning operation comprises determining presence or absence of a learning result corresponding to the currently acquired image information, and
• wherein the processor is configured to, based on a determination that a corresponding learning result is absent, initiate a forced learning operation to generate matched treatment information previously approved by the user with the currently acquired image information.
