Abstract: 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.

Abstract: In a laundry treatment apparatus including a cabinet having an opening formed in one side thereof, a door rotatably coupled to the cabinet to open and close the opening, a drum rotatably provided inside the cabinet and configured to accommodate laundry introduced through the opening, a door lock unit provided inside the cabinet and configured to lock the door when the door closes the opening or release a locked state of the door in order to open the opening closed by the door, a communication unit configured to receive remote inputs of a user for communication with an external device, and a switch unit configured to connect or disconnect an external power, a locked state of the door and connection to the external power are maintained while a user maintains remote control after a preset cycle including rotation of the drum is performed.

Abstract: 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.
