Abstract
A washing machine and a controlling method thereof may automatically set a customized washing cycle according to a wearing environment of laundry. The washing machine includes a user input configured to receive wearing environment information of the laundry from a user, and a controller configured to determine washing characteristics of the laundry based on the wearing environment information of the laundry and automatically set a washing cycle based on the washing characteristics of the laundry.
Claims25
A washing machine, comprising:
- a user input configured to receive a washing course corresponding to a wearing environment information of laundry;
- and
- a controller configured to determine, by way of one or more processors, washing characteristics of the laundry including at least one of a material of the laundry, a contaminant of the laundry, and a contamination level of the laundry based on the wearing environment information of the laundry and automatically set a washing cycle based on the determined washing characteristics of the laundry.
A washing machine, comprising:
- a user input configured to receive clothing classification information of laundry and user's environment information;
- and
- a controller configured to determine, by way of one or more processors, a wearing environment of the laundry based on the clothing classification information of the laundry and the user's environment information, determine washing characteristics of the laundry including at least one of a material of the laundry, a contaminant of the laundry, and a contamination level of the laundry based on the determined wearing environment information of the laundry, and automatically set a washing cycle based on the determined washing characteristics of the laundry.
A washing machine, comprising:
- a laundry reader configured to analyze a code of a label attached to laundry to read clothing classification information of the laundry;
- and
- a controller configured to determine, by way of one or more processors, a wearing environment of the laundry based on the clothing classification information of the laundry, determine at least one of a material of the laundry, a contaminant of the laundry, and a contamination level of the laundry based on the determined wearing environment information of the laundry, and automatically set a washing cycle based on the determined washing characteristics of the laundry.
A controlling method of a washing machine, comprising:
- receiving a washing course corresponding to wearing environment information of laundry;
- determining, by way of one or more processors, at least one of a material of the laundry, a contaminant of the laundry, and a contamination level of the laundry based on the wearing environment information of the laundry;
- and
- automatically setting a washing cycle based on the determined washing characteristics of the laundry.
