Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, in order to drive the electric appliance based on the above-mentioned variable electric power information, the user needs to separately confirm the electric power information through the network, etc., and determine the operating time or work progress of the electric appliance based on the confirmed content, which is inconvenient.
[0005] In particular, in many cases, the user wants to confirm the electric power information corresponding to the current time, but since the above electric power information is provided only in a predetermined cycle, for example, daily, weekly or monthly, there is a need for the user to confirm the power information corresponding to the current time. One by one to calculate the driving mode (time, process, etc.) of electrical appliances
[0006] As an example, there is a problem that the user is restricted from intuitively determining the work start time, work end time, or work progress of an electrical appliance based on the work information provided on a periodic basis.

Abstract

The invention relates to a home appliance and a control method thereof. An electric appliance includes a driving unit operating on the basis of energy information including information with respect to an energy price, a communication unit requesting the energy information to an external component, a memory unit for storing the energy information received through the communication unit, and a control unit controlling the communication unit such that the communication unit receives first energy information corresponding to a present time of the energy information and receives second energy information that is information except for the first energy information.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an electric appliance and a control method thereof. Background technique [0002] Generally, appliances in the home include washing machines, refrigerators, cooking machines, or vacuum cleaners. Conventionally, electric power having prescribed power information has been used to drive the above-mentioned electric appliances. As an example, electricity supplied to households incurs a predetermined fee according to time. [0003] But recently, with the energy saving policy, it is possible to provide an electric power having electric power information that changes according to time. [0004] However, in order to drive the electric appliance based on the above-mentioned fluctuating electric power information, the user needs to separately confirm the electric power information through the network or the like, and determine the operation time or work progress of the electric appliance based on the confirmed content, which is inconve...
