The present invention relates to a home appliance, to a home appliance system, and to a method for operating same, wherein the home appliance and a mobile terminal are connected to one another to add or update data in the home appliance through the mobile terminal connected thereto, diagnose the state of the home appliance by means of the mobile terminal, and supplement the function of the home appliance by means of the mobile terminal, thus expanding the functions of the home appliance to enable the easy control of the home appliance, and more conveniently controlling the home appliance.

Home appliance, home appliance system, and method for operating same

A washing machine is disclosed. The washing machine has a function of rotating a drum () at a low speed when a user pulls out laundry, enabling the user to easily search through the laundry. The washing machine includes a cabinet () defining an exterior appearance of the washing machine, a tub () mounted in the cabinet () and configured to receive wash water therein, a drum () rotatably mounted in the tub () and configured to receive laundry therein, an independent drive input unit () to send a drum rotating signal, so as to allow a user to operate the drum () independently of a washing process, and a control unit to control rotation of the drum () in response to a signal received from the independent drive input unit ().

Washing machine

A washing machine is disclosed, which includes a receiving part () to receive laundry, a supply path () to supply outside air of the receiving part () into the receiving part (), a heating member () to heat the air introduced in the supply path (), an exhaust path () through which the air in the receiving part () is exhausted to the outside, and a heat transfer part () to transfer heat of the air flowing through the exhaust path () to the air flowing in through the supply path ().

An apparatus is provided for controlling a lamp of a refrigerator. The apparatus may include a dispenser provided on a refrigerator door and a lamp installed within the dispenser for illuminating the dispenser. The dispenser may include a rotary member that rotates as an operation lever provided in the dispenser is operated and a duct door for selectively opening and closing an ice duct. The rotary member may include a rotary shaft supported by side walls of the dispenser and a connector part that extends from the rotary shaft. The duct door may be coupled to the connection part.

Apparatus and method for controlling lamp of refrigerator

A method of controlling an Internet washing machine is disclosed, in which the electric power required to keep the Internet washing machine be in a remote-controllable state can be reduced. The method of controlling the Internet washing machine comprises the steps of counting down the remaining time from a point of time when the internet washing machine is turned on, starting a remote control mode by connecting an on-line server with the internet washing machine so that they are in a state of a session if an operating part does not work during the preset time, and starting a power saving mode if either the operating part does not work or a signal for remotely controlling the washing machine is not generated before the preset time from a point of time when the remote control mode is started.
