AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent is about a laundry treating apparatus or an online system that allows users to input and correct reservation times. It also checks if there is a new pattern in another reservation pattern and adjusts the reservation based on the checking results. This allows users to have more flexibility in reserving the machine and ensures efficient and effective use of the laundry treating apparatus.

Problems solved by technology

However, it becomes difficult to wait until the wash cycle or the dry cycle is completed, because one-person households or double-income families are increasing drastically and for other reasons.

Accordingly, the laundry is likely to be neglected in the laundry treating apparatus, even after the dry cycle or the wash cycle is completed, such that it might be contaminated to disadvantageously change a state of the laundry bad (e.g., smell bad or cause wrinkles).

Accordingly, the situations where users have to postpone the operation of the laundry treating apparatus might happen frequently.

However, the laundry treating apparatus has a limit that the user has to repeatedly input some buttons to set a desired reservation time, because the area of the control panel has to be arranged efficiently and exterior beauty has to be considered.

Even when an application or external terminal is used, the user always has to inconveniently input a desired reservation time whenever setting the reservation time. especially, even when trying to reputedly perform a reservation setting at certain times or at a specific time, the user has to directly set the reservation time consistently, which is an inconvenient disadvantage.

Accordingly, a conventional laundry treating apparatus has a disadvantage that the repeated process and time for performing the reservation time setting function have to be performed disadvantageously.
