A method of configuring a laundry course based on speech recognition using artificial intelligence and a device for implementing the same. A washing machine of configuring the laundry course based on the speech recognition includes a speech input unit that receives a speech included with a StainWord or a ClothWord to produce speech data, a communication unit that transmits identification information of speech data and a washing machine to a server and receive course configuring information corresponding to the StainWord or the ClothWord from the server, and a speech guidance unit that outputs a speech guide message that guides a laundry course corresponding to course configuring information, and a control unit that controls a speech input unit, a communication unit, and a speech guidance unit.

Method of configuring laundry course based on speech recognition using artificial intelligence and device of implementing thereof

A home appliance including an audio input unit including at least one microphone and into which a voice command formed of natural language is inputted; a communication unit which transmits the voice command to a voice recognition system as voice data, and receives a response signal from the voice recognition system; a controller which sets an operation corresponding to the response signal, outputs an operation state, and outputs a guidance announcement, according to a result of voice recognition of the voice recognition system; and an audio output unit which outputs the guidance announcement corresponding to the operation, wherein the controller determines whether it is possible to set the operation or to support a function for the operation in response to the response signal and an operation state of the home appliance, and performs the operation.

Home appliance, control system by voice recognition and operating method of the same

The present invention relates to a washing machine and a server system that recommend a laundry course and washing tip information in consideration of information on a kind of laundry and a degree of contamination inputted by using artificial intelligence through speech recognition, and a method for controlling such washing machine and server system. The present invention extracts a cloth-word indicating a kind of clothes of laundry and a stain-word indicating a kind of contaminant. Then, the present invention determines a laundry course in consideration of the cloth-word. Then, washing tip information on the stain-word is searched in a pre-stored database and the searched washing tip information is provided to a user. As a result, the user can be notified of a washing method capable of effectively removing the contaminant.

Washing machine and control system operating based on voice recognition using artificial intelligence, and method for controlling them

The present invention relates to an ear-set, an ear-set system, and a method for controlling the same. An ear-set according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an ear-set body comprising a communication module, which can conduct short-range communication with an external audio source device, and which receives an audio signal from the audio source device, a memory unit, which stored user setting information, an audio adjustment unit, which adjusts the magnitude of an input audio signal on the basis of the stored user setting information, and an audio output unit, which outputs the adjusted audio signal; and an ear-set housing, which contains the ear-set body on one side thereof, and which provides the ear-set body with electric charging in the contained state.

Earset, earset system, and earset control method

A headset including a wireless communication unit configured to provide wireless communication; a first microphone mounted on the headset; and a second microphone to be placed within an ear of the user wearing the headset; a controller configured to receive a phone call via the wireless communication unit from an external device, select either one of the first microphone or the second microphone to receive a voice signal of the user responding to the received phone call, in response to the selection of the first microphone, receive the voice signal of the user through the first microphone, correct a sound quality of the voice signal received through the first microphone, and transmit the corrected voice signal to the external device, and in response to the selection of the second microphone, receive the voice signal of the user from the external auditory canal of the ear of the user having the second microphone placed therein, correct a sound quality of the voice signal received through the second microphone and transmit the corrected voice signal to the external device.

Headset and method for controlling same

A mobile terminal is disclosed. The mobile terminal comprises a sound output unit; a display unit displaying a plurality of level objects enabling the user to select a frequency gain predetermined according to the user's age in a sound setting mode; a microphone receiving external noise; and a controller outputting through the sound output unit a sound adjusted with a gain obtained as a summation of a gain adjusted in accordance with a selected level object and a gain adjusted in accordance with the level of input noise.

Mobile terminal and control method thereof

An ear set device that includes a main body; and one or more earphones configured to output a response signal, wherein at least one of the one or more earphones includes: a first detecting unit configured to detect whether the one or more earphones are attached to a user, wherein the main body includes a communication unit configured to perform wireless communication with the one or more earphones, a second detecting unit configured to detect a location of the main body, and a control unit configured to, based on a determination that the main body is inside a vehicle and a determination that the vehicle is operating while the one or more earphones are attached to the user, receive, from the vehicle, information related to an operation of the vehicle and output a response signal corresponding to the received information through the one or more earphones is disclosed.
