Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a control terminal for a general-purpose type laundry control, and a general-purpose type laundry control service using the same.

The present invention relates to a control terminal for general purpose laundry control and a method for providing a general purpose laundry control service using the same.

In recent years, there has been a tendency for Korean companies to enter the North American market for drum washing machines and dryers. This is due to the technology that can save energy and solve the problem of not eliminating pollution which was a chronic problem of coin washing machine.

At this time, the coin washing machine selects a mode of the washing machine using a micom and drives the washing machine according to the selected mode. In this connection, Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2011-0030218 (published on March 23, 2011) discloses a method of charging a fee according to a selectable course.

However, commercial coin washing machines require a lot of time and expense to develop and manufacture because they use a microcomputer. Also, maintenance and repair are not compatible with washing machines, dryers, general type and commercial type. It is a fact that it is being consumed. And, once the development and production are done by using the microcomputer, if the hardware and program are changed, the development and manufacture must be done from the beginning, resulting in a waste of time and money.

In one embodiment of the present invention, not only the operation of the washing machine and the dryer but also the control programs for domestic and commercial use are integrated to control all the electronic products. Even if there is a control change using a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) It is possible to save time and cost of maintenance by updating, and it can be used both in general products and coin products by using one touch panel and controller, and it is possible to save time and cost in production, Thereby providing a laundry control service providing method. It should be understood, however, that the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the above-described technical problems, and other technical problems may exist.

As a technical means for achieving the above-mentioned technical object, an embodiment of the present invention is a method of operating a washing machine comprising the steps of: receiving selection data for selecting at least one washing machine or at least one dryer of a general type or a commercial type; The method comprising the steps of: receiving setting data for at least one operation mode when a washing machine or at least one dryer is selected; charging a value corresponding to input setting data; And driving at least one washer or at least one dryer in accordance with at least one operating mode corresponding to the at least one operating mode.

According to any one of the tasks of the present invention described above, not only the operation of the washing machine and the dryer but also the control programs for domestic and commercial use can be integrated to control all the electronic products. Even if there is a control change using the PLC It is possible to save time and cost of maintenance by updating, and it is possible to use both a general product and a coin product by using a single touch panel and a controller, thereby saving time and cost in production.
