In accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, a vehicle including a plurality of electronic component, includes: a transceiver configured to perform communication with a user terminal; and a controller configured to determine a location of the user terminal based on a search signal received from the user terminal, determine a target component corresponding to the location of the user terminal among the plurality of electronic components and control the transceiver to transmit a diagnostic information of the target component to the user terminal.

Vehicle and control method thereof

A vehicle key capable of generating electrical energy by itself through energy harvesting, and a method of manufacturing the vehicle key are provided. The vehicle key includes a power generator including an energy generation module configured to generate electrical energy using energy harvesting and an electric condenser configured to store the generated electrical energy; an inputter configured to receive a user input; a communicator configured to communicate with the vehicle; and a controller configured to control the communicator to transmit a control signal corresponding to the received user input to the vehicle. At least one of the inputter, the communicator, and the controller may be configured to receive power from the power generator.

Vehicle key and method of manufacturing the same

A clothes care apparatus includes a chamber, an upper fan provided above the chamber and configured to move air to a lower side of the chamber, and a lower fan provided under the chamber and configured to move air to an upper side of the chamber. A first motor is configured to rotate the lower fan and a steam generating device is configured to generate steam by heating water. A controller is configured to control on-off states of the steam generating device and the first motor, configured to turn on the steam generating device in a first period for supplying the generated steam to the chamber, and configured to turn on the first motor in a second period for allowing the steam to be dispersed by air moving to the chamber.

Clothes care apparatus and control method thereof

In accordance with one aspect of the disclosure, a remote control device includes a transceiver configured to communicate with a user terminal or a vehicle, a sensor configured to obtain a motion information, a storage configured to store a motion table including at least one designated motion and at least one function matched thereto, and a controller configured to identify whether the designated motion corresponding to the obtained motion information exists among at least one designated motion included in the motion table, generate a control command for performing at least one function matching the designated motion corresponding to the obtained motion information based on the identification result, and control the transceiver to transmit the generated control command to the user terminal or the vehicle.

Remote control device, vehicle communicating with the same and control method of vehicle

A washing machine including an auxiliary washing tub in a washing tub, and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The washing machine includes a main washing tub and an auxiliary washing tub through which different laundry can be classified according to the weight or category of laundry such that the classified laundry can be separately washed. As a result, user convenience increases, and the entire washing time and unnecessary energy consumption can be reduced. When the main washing tub and the auxiliary washing tub are simultaneously operated, when only the main washing tub is independently operated, or when only the auxiliary washing tub is independently operated, laundry can be effectively washed in different ways in the washing tub and the auxiliary washing tub according to an optimum washing algorithm achieved by a combination of washing-tub rotation and pulsator rotation, such that laundry can be less damaged and washing performance can be improved.
