         2 . The user terminal device of  claim 1 , further comprising a memory configured to store a course list comprising a plurality of clothing treatment courses, and
 wherein the processor is further configured to update the course list to comprise the generated user-customized course information, and store the updated course list in the memory.   
     
     
         3 . The user terminal device of  claim 2 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the communication interface to transmit, to the server, editing information based on the editing command being input to the input interface. 
     
     
         4 . The user terminal device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the communication interface to transmit, to a clothing treating device, the user-customized course information. 
     
     
         5 . The user terminal device of  claim 4 , wherein the processor is further configured to control the communication interface to transmit, to the clothing treating device, a control signal to perform a processing operation corresponding to a user-customized course, based on a start command for executing the user-customized course being input to the input interface. 
     
     
         6 . The user terminal device of  claim 1 , further comprising a display,
 wherein the processor is further configured to control the display to display a user interface for receiving the clothing information.   
     
     
         7 . The user terminal device of  claim 1 , wherein the clothing information comprises at least one of a material, a type, a color, or dryness of clothes. 
     
     
         8 . A control method of a user terminal device, the control method comprising:
 based on clothing information being input to the user terminal device, transmitting the clothing information to a server;   receiving, from the server, recommended course information that is generated by the server based on the clothing information;   based on an editing command for the recommended course information being input, generating user-customized course information by editing the recommended course information; and   transmitting the user-customized course information to the server,   wherein the generating the user-customized course information comprises generating the user-customized course information that comprises course name information and course description information based on the editing command.   
     
     
         9 . The control method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 storing a course list comprising a plurality of clothing treatment courses;   updating the course list to comprise the generated user-customized course information; and   storing the updated course list.   
     
     
         10 . The control method of  claim 9 , further comprising transmitting, to the server, editing information based on an editing command for the stored course list being input. 
     
     
         11 . The control method of  claim 8 , further comprising transmitting, to a clothing treating device, the user-customized course information comprising the course name information and the course description information. 
     
     
         12 . The control method of  claim 11 , further comprising transmitting, to the clothing treating device, a control signal to perform a processing operation corresponding to a user-customized course, based on a start command for executing the user-customized course being input. 
     
     
         13 . The control method of  claim 8 , further comprising displaying a user interface for receiving the clothing information on a display. 
     
     
         14 . The control method of  claim 8 , wherein the clothing information comprises at least one of a material, a type, a color, or dryness of clothes. 
     
     
         15 . A clothing treating system comprising:
 a user terminal device;   a server configured to generate recommended course information based on clothing information received from the user terminal device; and   a clothing treating device configured to:
 perform at least one of a washing process, a drying process, or a clothing care process, and 
 store an executable course list, 
   wherein the user terminal device is configured to, based on the clothing information being input to the user terminal device, transmit the clothing information to the server,   wherein the server is further configured to transmit, to the user terminal device, the recommended course information generated based on the received clothing information,   wherein the user terminal device is further configured to:
 based on an editing command for the recommended course information being input to the user terminal device, generate user-customized course information by editing the recommended course information, and 
 transmit the user-customized course information to the server, 
   wherein the server is further configured to:
 confirm a clothing treating device for executing the user-customized course based on the received user-customized course information, and
