However, this is only an example, and the notification may be provided in various ways. For example, when a lamp (not shown) is connected to the network, the processor 130 transmits a control command for turning on the power of the lamp (not shown) when the washing information is received, The user may be notified of completion.

On the other hand, when the laundry information is received from the server 100, the dryer 20 can set a drying course for drying the laundry based on the laundry information, which will be described in more detail below.

6 is a block diagram illustrating components of a dryer according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 6, the dryer 20 includes a communication unit 21, a display 22, and a processor 23. However, the display 22 among these components may be omitted in some cases.

The communication unit 21 is connected to a network and is capable of communicating with a plurality of electronic devices 10, 30, ..., 50 and the server 100. For this purpose, the communication unit 21 may include various communication modules for connecting to a network by wire communication or wireless communication.

The processor 23 controls the overall operation of the dryer 20. The processor 12 may include a central processing unit (CPU) (or a microcomputer), a RAM (Random Access Memory) and a ROM (Read Only Memory) for the operation of the washing machine 20.

First, the processor 23 receives the laundry information previously stored in the server 100 from the server 100.

Specifically, when the predetermined user command is input, the processor 23 transmits a request to transmit the laundry information to the server 100 and receives the laundry information from the server 100 in response thereto Can be controlled. Here, the user command may include a user command for turning the dryer 20 on, or a user command for switching the mode of the dryer 20 from the standby mode to the operating mode.

Then, the processor 23 sets a drying course for drying the laundry laid on the dryer 20 based on the laundry information received from the server 100. [

To this end, the processor 23 may determine the drying information required to determine the drying course for the laundry based on the laundry information.

Specifically, the processor 23 determines the drying temperature and the drying time required for drying the laundry in order to optimally dry the laundry according to the weight of the laundry, the moisture content, the washing temperature, the washing course, the dehydrating time, .

For example, when the weight of the laundry is large and the moisture content is high, the drying is performed at a high temperature for a relatively long time, and the drying of the laundry at a high temperature for a long time is required Can be performed. Further, in the case of special clothes, drying is performed for a specific time at a specific temperature in that it is made of a functional material, so that optimal drying can be performed without damaging clothes.

Also, in order to optimize drying according to the weight of laundry, drying should be performed for a specific time at a specific temperature corresponding to each weight, and drying should be performed so that the initial temperature rise width is higher when the washing temperature is lower than high.

In addition, since the water content is higher than that when the dehydration time and dehydration degree are small, when the dehydration time and the degree of dehydration are small, the drying should be performed at a relatively high temperature for a long time. .

Accordingly, the dryer 20 can be provided with information about the drying temperature and the drying time required for drying the laundry in order to optimally dry the laundry according to the weight of the laundry, the moisture content, the washing temperature, the washing course, the dehydrating time, May be stored. On the other hand, information on the optimum drying temperature and drying time can be obtained by simulation results at the time of manufacture and stored in the dryer 20 in advance. Alternatively, the processor 23 may access the server operated by the manufacturer through the network to download information about the optimum drying temperature and drying time, or periodically update the information.

Accordingly, when the washing information is received from the server 100, the processor 23 can use the pre-stored information to determine the optimum drying temperature and drying time required for drying the laundered laundry in the washing machine 10 .

The processor 23 may determine a drying course corresponding to the drying information among the drying courses at least one of the drying temperature and the drying time, and perform the drying on the laundry using the determined drying course.

That is, the dryer 20 stores a plurality of drying courses different from each other in at least one of the drying temperature and the drying time, and the processor 23 performs drying of the laundered laundry in the washing machine 10 It is possible to judge a drying course having the optimum drying temperature and drying time required for drying and to carry out drying of laundry laid on the dryer 20 by using the drying course.

As described above, according to the embodiment of the present invention, the convenience of the user can be improved in that drying is performed based on the washing information. In addition, since the drying is performed using an optimum drying course according to the weight of the laundry and the dewatering condition, incomplete drying and overdrying can be prevented depending on the weight of the laundry and the dewatering state of the laundry. In addition, even in the case of special clothes, damage to the clothes can be prevented in that drying is carried out using an optimum drying course suitable for the clothes.

On the other hand, in the above-described example, the drying of the laundry is automatically performed based on the washing information, but this is merely an example, and the drying may be performed according to a user command.

Specifically, the processor 23 controls the display 22 to display the drying course determined based on the drying information, and when the user command to select the displayed drying course is input, Can be performed.

In this case, the processor 23 displays on the display 22 a menu for selecting a drying course other than the drying course determined on the basis of the drying information, and when another drying course is selected through the menu, Drying can be performed on the laundry.

For example, as shown in FIG. 7, when the drying course for the laundry is determined as "special clothes course ", the processor 23 displays a menu screen 710 for inquiring whether or not to perform drying with the special clothes course 22). ≪ / RTI > Accordingly, the processor 23 can perform drying with the special clothes course according to the user command inputted through the corresponding menu screen 710. [

In this case, the processor 23 can display on the display 22 together with a menu screen 720 inquiring whether or not to perform drying with a drying course other than the special clothes course.

Accordingly, when a user command for performing drying on another drying course is inputted, the processor 23 can display a menu screen 810 for selecting a drying course other than the special clothes course as shown in FIG. Accordingly, the processor 23 can perform drying on the drying course according to the user command inputted through the menu screen 810. [

In the above example, the user command is received through the dryer 20. However, this is merely an example, and the user command may be input through another electronic device connected to the network in addition to the dryer 20. [

For example, the processor 23 may control the communication unit 21 to transmit information on the determined drying course to the server 100. [ In this case, the server 100 may transmit information on the received drying course to other electronic devices 30, ..., 50 connected to the network.

Accordingly, the electronic device 30, ..., 50 displays the drying course, and when a user command for selecting the displayed drying course is input, the electronic device 30 transmits it to the server 100, Based on the command, a control command for performing drying may be sent to the dryer 20. Accordingly, when the control command is received from the server 100, the processor 23 can perform drying on the laundry according to the determined drying course.

Meanwhile, as described above, when the washing operation is repeated several times in the washing machine 10, the dryer 20 can receive the laundry information for each of the plurality of washing operations from the server 100.

In this case, the processor 23 determines the drying information corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of laundry information received from the server 100, determines a drying course corresponding to each of the plurality of pieces of drying information, It is possible to control the display 21 to display and to perform drying for the laundry using a drying course selected according to a user command among a plurality of drying courses.

That is, even if the user has washed each of the different laundry, the drying can be performed for some laundry but not for the rest laundry. Therefore, it is necessary for the user to select a drying course suitable for the laundry to be dried.

Accordingly, when the plurality of pieces of laundry information is received from the server 100, the processor 23 provides the user with a drying course for each of the plurality of pieces of laundry information, and selects a drying course corresponding to the laundry to be dried by the user .

On the other hand, although not shown, the dryer 20 may further include additional components.

For example, the dryer 20 is installed inside the main body, and includes a drum for containing laundry, a condensing duct for condensing moisture in the air introduced therefrom, a drying duct for drying the air introduced from the condensing duct, a drying duct for drying the condensed duct, A blowing fan disposed between the ducts and forming a flow of air so that the air introduced into the condensing duct can be introduced into the drum through the drying duct and a dryer for drying the laundry, 20, and the like, and the like. In the meantime, a heater for heating the air inside the drying duct is incorporated in the drying duct. In order to condense and remove moisture during the passage of the high temperature and high humidity air generated through the drying of the laundry through the condensing duct, A water supply nozzle for supplying condensed water (cold water) is provided. The water supply nozzle is connected to a condensation water supply pipe for supplying condensed water, and the condensation water supply pipe can be connected to the water supply valve.
