Figure 24 is a diagram showing clothing mounted on a clothing support member according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and Figure 25 is a diagram showing a clothing management course displayed on the control panel of a clothing care machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. It is a drawing.

Referring to Figure 24, for convenience of explanation, five clothing support members (110-1, 110-2, 110-3, 210-1, 210-2) are provided, and clothing ((a), (b) ) is shown as two mounted, but this is an example and the number of clothing support members 110, 210 and clothing can be changed.

A user using the clothing care device 1 according to one embodiment can place one piece of clothing on one clothing support member 110, 210 to manage the clothing. At this time, the user can sequentially place each piece of clothing starting from the left clothing support members 110 and 210 as shown in (a) and (b).

After placing all the clothing subject to management, the user can select a clothing management course using the control panel 600.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 25 , the control panel 600 may include a display 610 and an input unit 620. The input unit 620 includes, for example, a clothing management course selection unit 620a including at least one button and/or dial for receiving a user input for selecting a clothing management course, and a clothing management course selected by the user input. A sterilization administration add button 620b for receiving a user input (hereinafter 'second user input') for adding a sterilization administration, for selecting various functions (e.g., clean storage function, reservation function, smart control function) At least one button, a start button 620c for receiving a user input to start the clothing management course selected by the user input, and/or a power button for receiving a user input for turning the clothing management device 1 on and off ( 620d) may include at least one of the following.

In one embodiment, the clean storage function is a function for periodically heating the air inside the management room, a function for storing clothing for a preset time (e.g., 24 hours) after the selected clothing care course is completed, and a reservation function. is a function for starting a selected clothing management course at a specific time set by the user, and the smart control function may mean a function for exchanging various information through an external device with which a connection is established with the communication unit 800.

In one embodiment, the clothing care course selection unit 620a includes buttons 620a-3, 620a-4 for selecting a type of clothing care course (e.g., clothing care, delicate drying) and/or a selected clothing care course. Select the buttons 620a-1, 620a-2 for changing the clothing management course displayed on the display 610 among a plurality of clothing management courses corresponding to the type and/or the clothing management course displayed on the display 610. It may include an action button (not shown) to do this.

According to various embodiments, the operation button may be implemented as a separate button, or the start button 620c may replace the function of the operation button.

According to various embodiments, the display 610 may be provided as a separate configuration from the control panel 600.

As an example, the user selects the clothing care button 620a-3 and then changes the clothing care course displayed on the display 610 to the desired clothing care course through the arrow buttons 620a-1 and 620a-2, The clothing care course displayed on the display 610 can be selected through the action button.

According to various embodiments, the clothing care course selection unit 620a, the sterilization process addition button 620b, at least one button for selecting various functions, the start button 620c, and/or the power button 620d are input by the user. It can be implemented in any configuration for receiving, for example, a tact switch, a push switch, a slide switch, a toggle switch, a micro switch, or a touch switch.

According to various embodiments, the control panel 600 may further include an indicator 621 indicating whether each button is selected. The indicator 621 may be implemented as an LED, for example, and may display detailed settings selected by the user.

The display 610 may include a screen that displays various information. The display 610 may include, for example, a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel and/or a light emitting diode (LED).

According to various embodiments, the display 610 may display information about the clothing care course selected by the user. For example, information about a clothing management course may include the name of the clothing management course and/or information about the duration of the clothing management course.

Multiple clothing management courses are available depending on the type of clothing (e.g., padding, school uniform, suit, blouse, blanket) and material (e.g., wool, fur, denim) and type of clothing management. It can be classified by predetermined management settings (e.g., daily care, before going out, fine dust).

For example, 'padding course' may include management settings optimized for managing padding, 'wool course' may include management settings optimized for managing wool, and 'daily care course' may include management settings optimized for clothing management. Objects can contain general management settings.

In this way, the clothing management device 1 can control each configuration differently according to a plurality of clothing management courses corresponding to the type and material of clothing to be managed and the type of clothing management.

At this time, the user may move the clothing support members 110 and 210 left and right, and the separation distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 may vary while the user places the clothing. Accordingly, as shown in Figure 24, when both the first clothing (a) and the second clothing (b) are padding, the distance between the first clothing support member (110-1) and the second clothing support member (210-1) If they are close together, the gap between clothes may become narrow and you may not be able to achieve your clothing care goals.

Specifically, if the distance between the first clothing support member (110-1) and the second clothing support member (210-1) on which the first clothing (a) and the second clothing (b) are mounted is close, the first clothing (a) and the second clothing (b) are placed close to each other. The back part of (a) may come into contact with the belly part of the second garment (b), and as a result, the flow of air or steam may not be smooth in the area where the garments are in contact, so the clothing management goals such as removing fine dust and contaminants are removed. may not be achieved.

To solve this problem, the processor 710 of the clothing care machine 1 according to one embodiment may notify the user to adjust the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210.

FIG. 26 is a diagram illustrating a notification message to adjust the gap between clothing support members 110 and 210 displayed on the control panel of a clothing care machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 27 is a diagram illustrating an embodiment of the present disclosure. This diagram shows that the distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 of the clothing care machine is adjusted and a sound notification is output.

Referring to FIG. 26, the processor 710 may control the control panel 600 to output a notification to adjust the spacing of the clothing support members 110 and 210 on the display 610. For example, when the processor 710 determines that the distance between the first clothing support member 110-1 and the second clothing support member 210-1 is less than the standard distance, the processor 710 performs “2 until a ding-dong sound is heard. A message such as “Please move the last hanger to the right” can be displayed.

To this end, the memory 720 may store a reference interval, which is a desirable interval between the clothing support members 110 and 210, corresponding to the clothing care course selected by the user. For example, in the case of a padding course, the standard interval may be stored as a relatively large value, and in the case of a shirt course, the standard interval may be stored as a relatively small value.

When the user selects a clothing care course, the processor 710 may determine whether the distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 on which the clothing is placed is appropriate based on the standard interval stored in the memory 720.

For example, in the case of a padding course, if the standard distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is 25 cm to 30 cm, the processor 710 determines that the distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 on which the clothing is mounted is less than 25 cm. You can judge whether it is That is, the processor 710 can measure the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 through the sensors 230 and 330 provided on one surface 215a of the neck body 215, as described in FIG. 10.

Accordingly, the processor 710 can control the control panel 600 to output a notification as shown in FIG. 26 when the distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 in the padding course is less than 25 cm.

By the same principle, unlike shown, the processor 710 can determine whether the distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 on which the clothing is mounted is greater than 30 cm, and the processor 710 can determine whether the clothing support member (110, 210) on the padding course If the distance between 110 and 210) exceeds 30 cm, the control panel 600 can be controlled to output a notification to widen the gap.

As a premise for this, the processor 710 can determine whether clothing is placed on the clothing support members 110 and 210, and there is no limitation to the method. For example, the processor 710 may use a weight sensor to determine whether clothing is placed on the clothing support members 110 and 210 based on whether the weight of the clothing support members 110 and 210 has changed.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 27, as shown in FIG. 26, based on the processor 710 notifying the user of the need to move the clothing support members 110 and 210, the user moves the second clothing support member 210-1. It can be moved to the right.

The processor 710 can continuously measure the distance between the first clothing support member 110-1 and the second clothing support member 210-1, which varies depending on the movement of the second clothing support member 210-1. there is. The processor 710 may determine whether the distance between the first clothing support member 110-1 and the second clothing support member 210-1 reaches the reference value stored in the memory 720.

Afterwards, when the processor 710 determines that the distance between the first clothing support member 110-1 and the second clothing support member 210-1 has reached the reference value, the processor 710 controls the speaker (not shown) to sound 'ding dong' and The same notification sound can be output.

Accordingly, the user can hear the notification sound and recognize that the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is preferably set, and can then proceed with optimal clothing management according to the clothing management course, thereby increasing the efficiency of clothing management. There is an effect that can be achieved.

At this time, there is no limit to the method in which the processor 710 controls a speaker (not shown) to inform the user that the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is preferably set. For example, when it is necessary to adjust the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210, the processor 710 outputs a single sound such as 'ding ding ding ding ding' at regular intervals, and then outputs a soft sound such as 'ding dong' when the gap adjustment is completed. It may be possible. FIG. 28 is a diagram illustrating another type of notification message requesting to adjust the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 displayed on the control panel of a clothing care machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 29 is a This is a diagram showing that an LED notification is output by adjusting the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 of the clothing care machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 28, as shown in FIG. 26, the processor 710 may determine whether the distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 on which the clothing is mounted is appropriate, and display the clothing on the display 610 according to the determination result. A notification to adjust the spacing of the support members 110 and 210 can be output.

That is, when the processor 710 determines that the distance between the first clothing support member 110-1 and the second clothing support member 210-1 is less than the standard distance, the processor 710 performs “2 until the LED lights up in green.” A message such as “Please move the last hanger to the right” can be displayed.

Continuing to refer to FIG. 29, the clothing support members 110 and 210 according to one embodiment may include an LED module 231, and the location is not limited as long as it is a location that can be visually recognized by the user. . For example in Figure 29, the LED module 231 may be located on the upper part of the neck body of the clothing support members 110 and 210.

The processor 710 can display the same color of all LED modules 231 as an initial setting, and then displays the color of the LED modules 231 of the clothing support members 110 and 210 that need to be moved differently from the initial setting color. can do. For example, the processor 710 may display the color of all LED modules 231 as green in the initial state before the user selects a clothing care course and places the clothing. Thereafter, the processor 710 may display the color of the LED module 231 of the clothing support members 110 and 210 that needs to be moved in red to inform the user that the adjustment of the spacing of the clothing support members 110 and 210 has been completed.

At this time, there is no limit to the method in which the processor 710 controls the LED module 231 to inform the user that the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is preferably set. For example, when it is necessary to adjust the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210, the processor 710 turns off all LED modules 231 and turns on only the LEDs of the clothing support members 110 and 210 that need to be moved. It may be possible.

Accordingly, the user can adjust the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 in an intuitive manner, thereby increasing convenience.

In the above, an embodiment in which the processor 710 outputs a notification to increase the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 has been described. However, if the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is wider than the reference value, A notification may be output to reduce the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210.

For example, when the clothing management course is in the shirt mode, if the gap between the clothing support members (110, 210) is wider than the standard value, a notification is output to reduce the gap between the clothing support members (110, 210), and the clothing Additional support members 110 and 210 may be inserted. Accordingly, compared to the prior art, a larger amount of clothing can be managed with one management, thereby reducing costs such as electricity bills, thereby securing economic efficiency.

Figure 30 is a control flowchart showing a control method of a clothing management machine according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 30, the input unit 620 of the control panel 600 may receive a user's input regarding a clothing care course (3000). The clothing management course here can be subdivided according to the type of clothing, such as padding course, school uniform course, suit course, and wool/knit course.

The processor 710 may measure the distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 on which clothing is mounted by controlling the distance sensors 230 and 330 provided on the clothing support members 110 and 210 (3010).

To this end, the processor 710 may determine whether clothing is mounted on the clothing support members 110 and 210 based on a measuring means such as a weight sensor.

Thereafter, the processor 710 may compare the distance between the clothing support members 110, 210 measured based on the reference interval for each clothing care course stored in the memory 720 with the reference interval corresponding to the selected clothing care course (3020 ).

If the measured gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is smaller than the standard gap corresponding to the selected clothing care course (example of 3020), the processor 710 widens the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210. A notification can be output on the catalog display 610 (3030).

On the other hand, if the interval between the measured clothing support members 110 and 210 is not smaller than the reference interval corresponding to the selected clothing care course (No in 3020), the processor 710 determines the distance between the measured clothing support members 110 and 210. It can be determined whether the interval is greater than the standard interval corresponding to the clothing management course (3040). Afterwards, the processor 710 determines that if the measured distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is the same as the standard distance corresponding to the selected clothing care course (No in 3040), then the distance adjustment is not necessary, so based on the set gap, You can start the clothing management course (3090).

In addition, if the measured gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is greater than the standard gap corresponding to the selected clothing care course (example of 3040), the processor 710 determines the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210. A notification may be output on the display 610 to narrow the scope (3050).

In this way, if the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 on which the clothing is mounted is wider or narrower than the standard gap, the processor 710 may output a notification to the user and request the user to adjust the gap.

Thereafter, the processor 710 may determine whether a preset time has elapsed after outputting the notification and whether a user input rejecting interval adjustment has been received (3060). That is, the processor 710 may determine that the user does not intend to adjust the interval when a preset time elapses after outputting the notification or when a user input refusing to adjust the interval is received.

If the user intends to adjust the gap (No in 3060), the processor 710 continues to output a notification to widen or narrow the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 (3080), and the processor 710 If the user does not intend to adjust the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210, the notification may end without adjusting the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 (3070).

Afterwards, the processor 710 can end the notification and start a clothing care course based on the set interval (3090). Accordingly, the clothing management device 1 according to an embodiment not only enables clothing management based on the standard interval, but also starts clothing management at the first interval when it determines that interval adjustment is unnecessary in consideration of the user's intention. It has the effect of improving satisfaction.

FIG. 31 is a diagram schematically illustrating a clothing management device communicating with a network and a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and FIG. 32 is a control flowchart of a method of controlling a clothing management device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. This diagram focuses on communication with a user terminal.

Referring to FIG. 31, the clothing management device 1 may communicate with an external server and/or a user terminal 1000 on which the network 900 is mutually established through the communication unit 800. As an example, the clothing management device 1 Can communicate with the user terminal 1000 device using an external server as a medium.

The processor 710 may control the communication unit 800 to receive user input regarding a clothing care course from an external device (e.g., an external server on which the network 900 is built and/or the user terminal 1000).

In various embodiments, the user terminal 1000 displays a visual display corresponding to the message based on receiving a message encouraging the user to widen or narrow the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 from the clothing manager 1. Can be printed.

For example, the user terminal 1000 may output the received message as is or display it as moving graphics to move the clothing support members 110 and 210 that need to be moved.

Additionally, the user terminal 1000 may receive an input refusing to adjust the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 from the user and transmit the input to the clothing management device 1. Afterwards, the user terminal 1000 can receive a command to end the notification from the clothing manager 1 and end the notification accordingly. The user terminal 1000 may receive a message from the clothing management device 1 that clothing management begins at the final set interval.

According to the present disclosure, information about the clothing management device 1 is notified to the user through the user terminal 1000, thereby enabling the user to take appropriate action according to the status of the clothing support members 110 and 210.

Next, referring to FIG. 32, the processor 710 may control the communication unit 800 to receive a user input regarding a clothing care course from the user terminal 1000 (3200). Thereafter, the processor 710 can control the distance sensors 230 and 330 provided on the clothing support members 110 and 210 to measure the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 on which the clothing is mounted (3210). .

The processor 710 may compare the measured interval between the clothing support members 110 and 210 with a reference interval corresponding to the selected clothing care course (3220).

If the measured gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is smaller than the standard gap corresponding to the selected clothing care course (example of 3220), the processor 710 widens the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210. A notification can be sent to the user terminal 1000 (3230).

On the other hand, if the interval between the measured clothing support members 110 and 210 is not smaller than the reference interval corresponding to the selected clothing care course (No in 3220), the processor 710 determines the distance between the measured clothing support members 110 and 210. It can be determined whether the interval is greater than the standard interval corresponding to the clothing management course (3240). Afterwards, the processor 710 determines that if the measured distance between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is the same as the standard distance corresponding to the selected clothing care course (No in 3240), then the distance adjustment is not necessary, so based on the set gap, You can start the clothing management course (3290).

In addition, if the measured gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 is greater than the reference gap corresponding to the selected clothing care course (example of 3240), the processor 710 determines the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210. A notification may be sent to the user terminal 1000 to narrow the scope (3250).

Thereafter, the processor 710 may determine whether a user input rejecting interval adjustment has been received from the user terminal 1000 (3260).

If the user intends to adjust the gap (No in 3260), the processor 710 continues to output a notification to widen or narrow the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210, but ends the notification after adjusting the gap. A command can be transmitted to the user terminal 1000 (3280). If the user does not intend to adjust the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210 (example of 3260), the processor 710 issues a command to end the notification without adjusting the gap between the clothing support members 110 and 210. It can be transmitted to the terminal 1000 (3270).

Afterwards, the processor 710 can end the notification and start the clothing management course based on the set interval (3290).

Figure 33 is a diagram schematically showing input data and output data for an artificial neural network applied to a clothing management device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

In one embodiment, the processor 710 may train an artificial neural network using clothing management data as training data.

If the processor 710 includes an artificial intelligence-specific processor 710 (e.g., NPU) for training an artificial neural network, the processor 710 uses the clothing management data stored in the memory 720 as learning data for the artificial neural network.

For example, a plurality of weights may be updated so that loss or cost values obtained from the artificial intelligence model are reduced or minimized during the learning process. Artificial neural networks may include deep neural networks (DNN), for example, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Deep Neural Network (DNN), Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM), Deep Belief Network (DBN), Bidirectional Recurrent Deep Neural Network (BRDNN), or Deep Q-Networks (900), etc., but are not limited to the examples described above.

The processor 710 may learn the correlation between clothing management data and interval adjustment information based on the selected artificial intelligence model.

Afterwards, the processor 710 inputs a plurality of sensor input values, such as the distance sensors 230 and 330, and characteristic values of the clothing management mode selected by the user (total operation time, humidification amount, number of process repetitions for clothing management, including drying time, etc.) , data including the type of clothing and the weight of the clothing can be used as the input value (a), and the numbers and adjustment interval values of the clothing support members 110 and 210 that require adjustment can be derived as the output value (b).

Accordingly, the processor 710 can derive adjustment information for the clothing support members 110 and 210 based on the properties of the clothing and the user's usage pattern of the clothing management device 1, thereby improving the user's satisfaction with use.

According to the present disclosure, an artificial neural network is trained by using the clothing management data required for clothing management as learning data, and the user's clothing management device (1) usage data is input into the learned artificial neural network to store information between the clothing support members 110 and 210. Conditions and standards that can optimize the interval can be determined.
