Clothes washing system

Abstract

A plurality of electric equipment in the home such as a fully automatic washing machine 1, a refrigerator 2, a micro-wave oven 3, an air conditioner 4, a TV 5 and illuminators 6 in respective rooms are connected through a domestic LAN 7 to a home terminal 8. The home terminal 8 can be connected through the internet 9 to a main data server 10. The home terminal 8 is provided with a display device 25 and a touch panel and can instruct the operation of the fully automatic washing machine 1 or can set the customization of a washing process, and a monitor picture or various setting pictures during operation are displayed. On the basis of weather information or information related to washing such as washing process data suitable for the kind of detergent to be used or water quality in the area inputted from the main data server 10 through the internet 9, the home terminal suitably controls a washing control program to be run by the fully automatic washing machine 1 and performs optimal operation control.Therefore, it can perform a proper control of an washing operation, considering environmental conditions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a laundry system, which has laundry equipment such as a fully automatic washing and drying machine and a user data server connected thereto. Background technique [0002] Laundry equipment, such as a fully automatic washing machine, is provided with various sensors, etc., to perform optimal washing operation control in accordance with the laundry capacity, cloth, degree of soiling, water temperature, etc. However, the existing laundry equipment can be said to be equipment that completes the work alone, so there are limitations in satisfying various external washing conditions such as weather conditions (precipitation probability), the type of detergent arbitrarily selected by the user, and the water quality of local tap water. It is not a device that can take into account the above external washing conditions. [0003] In this case, assuming that the user judges the control content such as the appropriate washing process accor...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] In this case, assuming that the user judges the control content such as the appropriate washing process according to the above-mentioned external use conditions, and sets and operates it, even if it is considered in this way, the operation is complicated and the burden on the user is large. Incorporating the subjective judgment of the user may not be able to achieve optimal control

In addition, the washing control program itself has not changed (evolved) since the product was purchased, so there is a limit to the control content that can adapt to external washing conditions
