Abstract

A electronic apparatus including: a tub; a washing tub arrangeable inside the tub to accommodate laundry; a motor; a water supply module; a drainage module; a water level sensor; a processor; and memory to store instructions. When the instructions are executed, the processor is configured to: control the water supply module to supply the washing tub with water up to a wash water level that is higher than the wash water level of a standard wash cycle; control wash of the laundry by driving the motor according to a set wash operation rate; control the drainage module to drain water from the tub; control a spin-dry operation of the laundry by driving the motor according to a set spin-drying RPM; control the water supply module to supply water to the washing tub; and control a rinsing of the laundry according to a set rinsing operation rate.

1 . An electronic device comprising:
 a tub configured to receive water;   a washing tub arrangeable inside the tub to accommodate laundry;   a motor configured to rotate the washing tub;   a water supply module configured to supply water to the washing tub;   a drainage module configured to drain the water from the tub;   a water level sensor configured to measure a water level in the tub;   a processor; and   a memory configured to store instructions that are executed by the processor,   wherein the processor based on the instructions being executed is configured to:
 control the water supply module to supply water to the washing tub that is arranged in the tub, the water supplied by the water supply module being at a wash water level higher than a wash water level in a standard wash cycle, 
 control a wash operation of the laundry accommodated in the washing tub by driving the motor according to a wash operation rate that is set, 
 control the drainage module to drain the water from the tub, 
 control a spin-dry operation of the laundry by driving the motor according to a set spin-dry revolutions per minute (RPM), and 
   control the water supply module to supply water to the washing tub and control a rinsing operation of the laundry according to a set rinse operation rate.   
     
     
         2 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the wash operation rate is set lower than a wash operation rate in the standard wash cycle.   
     
     
         3 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor is configured to control the drainage module to drain the water to a water level higher than a reset water level in the standard wash cycle.   
     
     
         4 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor is configured to:
 control the drainage module to drain in a smaller amount than in the standard wash cycle and then spin and drain to a reset water level while rotating at a predetermined RPM, and 
 based on the reset water level being reached, control the spin-dry operation of the laundry according to a spin-dry RPM in the standard wash cycle. 
   
     
     
         5 . The electronic device of  claim 4 , wherein
 the processor is configured to, based on the water level in the tub reaching the reset water level, control the spin-dry operation of the laundry according to the spin-dry RPM in the standard wash cycle.   
     
     
         6 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor is configured to control the water supply module to supply water to a rinse water level higher than a rinse water level in the standard wash cycle.   
     
     
         7 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor is configured to:
 based an operation of rinsing the laundry being completed, control the drainage module to drain the water from the tub to a water level higher than a reset water level in the standard wash cycle, and 
 control the spin-dry operation of the laundry according to a spin-dry RPM in the standard wash cycle. 
   
     
     
         8 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor is configured to:
 control at least one of the wash operation rate or a time to wash the laundry according to an amount of pet hair identified by a camera module configured to detect pet hair on a surface of water, and 
 control the drainage module to drain the water to a rinse water level determined according to the amount of pet hair. 
   
     
     
         9 . The electronic device of  claim 1 , wherein
 the processor is configured to:
 receive an input of at least one of an amount of pet hair on the laundry or a type of pet hair from a user, and 
 control the water supply module to supply water to the wash water level determined based on at least one of the amount of pet hair or the type of pet hair. 
   
     
     
         10 . A washing method comprising:
 controlling supplying of water to a washing tub to a wash water level higher than a wash water level in a standard wash cycle using a water supply module;   washing laundry by driving a motor according to a wash operation rate that is set;   draining the water from the washing tub using a drainage module;   spin-drying the laundry by driving the motor according to a spin-dry revolutions per minute (RPM) that is set; and   supplying water to the washing tub and rinsing the laundry according to a set rinse operation rate.   
     
     
         11 . The washing method of  claim 10 , wherein
 the wash operation rate is set lower than a wash operation rate in the standard wash cycle.   
     
     
         12 . The washing method of  claim 10 , wherein
 the draining of the water comprises draining the water to a water level higher than a reset water level in the standard wash cycle.   
     
     
         13 . The washing method of  claim 10 , wherein
 the spin-dry RPM is set lower than a spin-dry RPM in the standard wash cycle.   
     
     
         14 . The washing method of  claim 13 , wherein
 the spin-drying of the laundry comprises, based on the water level in the washing tub reaching a reset water level, spin-drying the laundry according to the spin-dry RPM in the standard wash cycle.   
     
     
         15 . The washing method of  claim 10 , wherein
 the rinsing of the laundry comprises supplying water to a rinse water level higher than a rinse water level in the standard wash cycle.
