An electric home appliance comprising: a sensing unit (140, 240) for sensing whether a human body is within a predetermined distance; an output unit (130, 230) includes a display unit and a speaker, wherein the display unit is configured to provide visual information and the speaker is configured to output a notification sound; and a controller for deciding a notification sound output mode of the output unit (130, 230) based on location of the human body sensed by the sensing unit (140, 240), wherein the controller decreases a volume of the output unit(130, 230) if a distance from the human body decreases, wherein the controller increases the volume of the output unit(130, 230) if the distance from human body increases, wherein the controller is further configured to: determine whether an event indicating that it is necessary to provide information to a user has occurred; determine whether the human body is within the predetermined distance, in a case in which the event has occurred; recognize a time during which the human body is within the predetermined distance; control the display unit to visually provide information, in a case in which the human body is within the predetermined distance for a predetermined time or more after the event has occurred; control the speaker to output the notification sound, in a case in which the human body deviates from the predetermined distance without responding to the event. a sensing unit (140, 240) for sensing whether a human body is within a predetermined distance; an output unit (130, 230) includes a display unit and a speaker, wherein the display unit is configured to provide visual information and the speaker is configured to output a notification sound; and a controller for deciding a notification sound output mode of the output unit (130, 230) based on location of the human body sensed by the sensing unit (140, 240), wherein the controller decreases a volume of the output unit(130, 230) if a distance from the human body decreases, wherein the controller increases the volume of the output unit(130, 230) if the distance from human body increases, wherein the controller is further configured to: determine whether an event indicating that it is necessary to provide information to a user has occurred; determine whether the human body is within the predetermined distance, in a case in which the event has occurred; recognize a time during which the human body is within the predetermined distance; control the display unit to visually provide information, in a case in which the human body is within the predetermined distance for a predetermined time or more after the event has occurred; control the speaker to output the notification sound, in a case in which the human body deviates from the predetermined distance without responding to the event. determine whether an event indicating that it is necessary to provide information to a user has occurred; determine whether the human body is within the predetermined distance, in a case in which the event has occurred; recognize a time during which the human body is within the predetermined distance; control the display unit to visually provide information, in a case in which the human body is within the predetermined distance for a predetermined time or more after the event has occurred; control the speaker to output the notification sound, in a case in which the human body deviates from the predetermined distance without responding to the event.
