Abstract:
Disclosed are a home appliance and a mobile terminal. The home appliance includes a drive unit, an acoustic output module configured to output sound, a microphone configured to receive sound from an external source, a memory configured to store information related to the home appliance when the home appliance is being operated, an acoustic communication unit configured to output sound containing the information related to the home appliance to the acoustic output module or to extract prescribed information from the sound received via the microphone based on an acoustic communication mode, and a controller configured to control the drive unit according to the information extracted by the acoustic communication unit. Transmission of information between the home appliance and the mobile terminal is accomplished via acoustic communication.
Abstract:
Provided is a smart home appliance. The smart home appliance includes: a voice input unit collecting a voice; a voice recognition unit recognizing a text corresponding to the voice collected through the voice input unit; a capturing unit collecting an image for detecting a user's visage or face; a memory unit mapping the text recognized by the voice recognition unit and a setting function and storing the mapped information; and a control unit determining whether to perform a voice recognition service on the basis of at least one information of image information collected by the capturing unit and voice information collected by the voice input unit.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a communication apparatus. A terminal (600) includes a microphone (623), a display (651), an audio output module (653), a communication unit (610) to exchange data with a server (500) or a home appliance (200), and a controller (180) to control display of a screen including information related to the home appliance (200) and to control output of information corresponding to user voice on the screen via the display (651) or the audio output module (653) when the user voice is received via the microphone (623). Therefore, it is possible to improve user convenience upon utilizing the home appliance (200).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a robot cleaner and to a method for operating the robot cleaner. To provide an robot cleaner and a method for operating the robot cleaner allowing an improved cleaning process avoiding any undesired cleaning operation and preferably providing a possibility for an interaction with the user, even if the user has left the apartment or could not manually control the robot cleaner, an robot cleaner (10) is provided, comprising: a main body (210) having a suction port; a travelling device (280) to move the main body (210); a cleaning device or brush assembly (245) installed on the main body (210); a controller (270); a communication unit (222) adapted to transmit cleaning status information to a remote device (600) and to receive cleaning command information from a remote device (300); at least one sensor (180, 190, 195) sensing the floor to be cleaned and providing cleanliness information to the controller (270); wherein the controller (270) is adapted to determine whether to stop cleaning operation or whether to continue the cleaning operation based on the cleanliness information and (or) based on the cleaning command information.
