Abstract: An assistive system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cradle module including a holder body on which a user terminal is to be placed and a drive unit configured to drive the holder body, the cradle module configured to output a terminal connection signal when the user terminal is placed on the holder body, and an assistant server configured to receive the terminal connection signal from the cradle module and execute an assistive service, the assistant server configured to control the drive unit by a preset drive pattern through a drive control signal when executing the assistive service. It is possible to easily and conveniently identify a plurality of assistive services outputted according to each situation by controlling a cradle module through a drive pattern corresponding to an assistive service while outputting a voice corresponding to the assistive service when executing the assistive service.

Abstract: A home appliance comprises a communication circuitry configured to be operable in a first mode or a second mode, an input unit including a button to receive an input to control the home appliance, a memory and at least one processor to control the communication circuitry to operate in the first mode in response to detecting the button being pressed, establish a first communication interface with an external terminal, obtain network set-up information including a Service Set Identifier (SSID) of an external wireless access point apparatus and authentication information, the SSID is selected via the external terminal and the authentication information was previously stored in the external terminal, control the communication circuitry to operate in the second mode, establish a second communication interface with the external wireless access point apparatus using the stored network set-up information and control the communication circuitry to access an external server.

Abstract: The present invention is a control device that controls an operation of at least one electric device and includes a user interface unit configured to receive an operation command for the at least one electric device, the user interface unit having a notification window associated with the at least one electric device in a home screen; and a control unit configured to, when an event associated with the at least one electric device has occurred, perform control such that notification information associated with the event is displayed in the notification window, and when the notification information is selected, perform control such that the home screen is switched to at least one of a service screen and a control screen.

Abstract: A home appliance includes a first communication circuitry configured to communicate with a mobile terminal placed within a first communication range supporting a first communication method, a second communication circuitry configured to communicate with an external wireless access point apparatus placed within a second communication range supporting a second communication method, and at least one processor configured to control the first communication circuitry to detect the mobile terminal, the mobile terminal being executing an application for communicating with the home appliance, based on detecting the mobile terminal, obtain, via the first communication circuitry, network set-up information from the mobile terminal for connecting to the external wireless access point apparatus, control the second communication circuitry to establish a communication with the external wireless access point apparatus using the obtained network set-up information, and control the second communication circuitry to access an i

Abstract: A network system of a home appliance configured to set up a network of the home appliance by using a terminal, and a network set-up method of the same, after converting a home appliance having built with a WIFI module into an AP to enable the terminal to be connected to an AP home appliance, the information stored at the terminal is transmitted to the AP home appliance, and thus the WIFI may be set up without a separate manipulation of a user at the time of setting up the WIFI of the home appliance without adding an input/output apparatus such as a display apparatus or an interface, the set-up value of the AP, the device information, and the device authentication key may be changed, and thus is safer from hack attacks, an AP is not needed to be provided, and thus a cost-related advantage may be obtained.
