*This abstract for appeared for patent application  number 18108197 Titled 'WASHING MACHINE FOR CONTROLLING DRYER, AND DRYER CONTROLLING METHOD PERFORMED BY WASHING MACHINE'

==Simplified Explanation==

This abstract describes a washing machine that is capable of wirelessly communicating with a dryer. The washing machine has a user interface that allows the user to control the dryer and receive information about it. The machine also has a processor that can determine if the front surface of the dryer is facing the same direction as the washing machine. If it is, the processor can receive the user's control input for the dryer and send corresponding commands to the dryer through the communication interface.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A washing machine includes a communication interface for wireless communication with a dryer; a user interface configured to receive a user’s control input related to the dryer, and to output information related to the dryer; and at least one processor configured to determine whether a front surface of the dryer faces in a same direction as a front surface of the washing machine, and when it is determined that the front surface of the dryer faces in the same direction as the front surface of the washing machine, receive the user’s control input related to the dryer through the user interface and transmit, to the dryer, a control command corresponding to the user’s control input related to the dryer through the communication interface.
