Disclosed herein are an upgradable electronic device, a server for upgrading the electronic device, and a method for upgrading the electronic device. The electronic device includes: a storage unit storing program data; a communication unit receiving and storing a file for updating the program data from a management server and transmitting update data for updating the program data based on the stored file; and a controller updating the program data in response to the update data, wherein the update data transmitted from the communication unit includes delta data and an instruction, the delta data including only a changed portion of the program data.

Upgradable electronic device, server for upgrdading electronic device, and method for upgrading electronic device

A remote controllable laundry processing device includes: a cabinet main body including a door, a sensor unit configured to sense a locked state of the door, a manipulation unit provided for user input, a remote control setting unit configured to control the laundry processing device based on an external terminal, a controller configured to control an operation of the laundry processing device, and a communication unit configured to send the controller an input signal from the external terminal. The controller is configured, based on the door being in the locked state and regardless of whether a remote control has been set by the remote control setting unit, to control the laundry processing device in response to a first input signal from the manipulation unit and a second input signal from the external terminal and each of the first input signal and the second input signal is a pause signal.

Remote controllable laundry processing device and control method thereof

A method is provided for controlling a washing machine including a control panel, a wireless communication module transmitting and receiving a signal through the internet, a driving unit including a driving motor, and a controller controlling an operation of the driving unit. The method includes, storing in the controller washing condition information including laundry weight information for washing, a laundry weight detection period or time, and active washing or not, counting a period or time for detecting the laundry weight, detecting a current laundry weight when the laundry detection period or time arrives, and transmitting a message notifying that the current laundry weight reaches a preset laundry weight to a server for washing control application through the internet, when the current laundry weight reaches the preset laundry weight.
