A laundry treating apparatus configured to recommend one or more of a start point and end point of one or more of a wash cycle for removing foreign substances from laundry and a dry cycle for removing moisture from the laundry, the laundry treating apparatus comprising: an input part configured to receive an input for setting one or more of the start point and end point of the wash cycle or dry cycle, wherein the input part comprises a reservation requesting unit to receive an input from a user to set a reservation time; a controller configured to determine one or more of the start point and end point of the wash cycle or dry cycle by figuring out a pattern on former start and end points, when the input of the input part is sensed; and a display configured to display one or more of the start point and end point of the wash cycle or dry cycle determined by the controller ; wherein, in determining one or more of the start point and end point of the wash cycle or dry cycle by figuring out the pattern based on former start and end points, the controller is configured to: - confirm the pattern when sensing that the former start and end points are set at a specific frequency or more in the specific time range, and - wherein the controller is configured to recognize or expect the reservation time the user wants to set and recommend a specific time, by figuring out the user's reservation time setting pattern based on a history of the user's former reservation time settings, and accordingly estimate the reservation time which the user will set. an input part configured to receive an input for setting one or more of the start point and end point of the wash cycle or dry cycle, wherein the input part comprises a reservation requesting unit to receive an input from a user to set a reservation time; a controller configured to determine one or more of the start point and end point of the wash cycle or dry cycle by figuring out a pattern on former start and end points, when the input of the input part is sensed; and a display configured to display one or more of the start point and end point of the wash cycle or dry cycle determined by the controller ; wherein, in determining one or more of the start point and end point of the wash cycle or dry cycle by figuring out the pattern based on former start and end points, the controller is configured to: - confirm the pattern when sensing that the former start and end points are set at a specific frequency or more in the specific time range, and - wherein the controller is configured to recognize or expect the reservation time the user wants to set and recommend a specific time, by figuring out the user's reservation time setting pattern based on a history of the user's former reservation time settings, and accordingly estimate the reservation time which the user will set. - confirm the pattern when sensing that the former start and end points are set at a specific frequency or more in the specific time range, and - wherein the controller is configured to recognize or expect the reservation time the user wants to set and recommend a specific time, by figuring out the user's reservation time setting pattern based on a history of the user's former reservation time settings, and accordingly estimate the reservation time which the user will set. <EOS>
