Description

Clothes treating apparatus Technical Field The present invention relates to a laundry machine, and more particularly, to a laundry machine including an output unit for outputting a screen. Background The laundry treatment apparatus is an apparatus for performing a laundry treatment process by putting clothes, bedding, etc. (hereinafter referred to as laundry) into a drum and removing contaminants adhering to the laundry. The laundry treatment apparatus may perform washing, rinsing, dehydrating, drying, etc. of laundry, and the laundry treatment apparatus may be classified into a top loading (top loading) mode and a front loading (front loading) mode based on a mode of loading laundry into a drum. The laundry treating apparatus may include a cabinet forming an external appearance, an outer tub accommodated inside the cabinet, a drum rotatably installed inside the outer tub, into which laundry is put, and a laundry supply device supplying laundry, etc. into the drum. In the case where the laundry treating apparatus is provided to wash laundry, if the drum is rotated by the motor in a state in which water and a detergent are supplied to the laundry accommodated in the drum, the laundry can remove adhered stains by friction between the drum and the wash water. The detergent supply device has a detergent supply function for improving a washing effect. The laundry agent is a substance that improves the washing effect, such as a fiber laundry agent, a fiber softener, and a fiber bleaching agent. The laundry detergent may use a powder (powder) form of the laundry detergent and a liquid (liquid) form of the laundry detergent. On the other hand, in case the laundry treating apparatus is provided to dry the laundry, the laundry treating apparatus may supply dry air to the laundry and remove moisture from the laundry. The laundry treating apparatus may include a cabinet, a drum rotatably provided inside the cabinet, and a heating part to heat or dry air supplied to laundry, etc. As the dried air is supplied to the laundry accommodated in the drum, moisture present in the laundry is evaporated and removed by the dried air, thereby removing the moisture in the laundry. On the other hand, in case that the amount of laundry is large or the treatment processes different from each other, such as the washing process and the drying process of the laundry, are simultaneously performed, a plurality of treatment devices for treating laundry may be utilized. The related document KR10-2008-0021921A1 shows a laundry treatment apparatus in which a plurality of treatment apparatuses are provided at the same time. The laundry treating apparatus disclosed in the related document includes a first treating apparatus and a second treating apparatus. The first and second treating apparatuses of the related art are provided with a drum or the like inside each case, and are configured to perform a treating process of laundry. In another aspect, the first processing device and the second processing device are each provided with a control panel. The control panel may be provided with an output unit for outputting a screen. Thus, the first processing device and the second processing device of the related document can provide mutually different information through the respective output sections. However, in the case where the first processing device and the second processing device execute processing procedures independent of each other, if information is output through the respective output parts of the first processing device and the second processing device, a user needs to confirm a plurality of output parts, which may cause inconvenience, and since each processing device is provided with a separate output part, a manufacturing procedure may be increased, and the design of the control panel may be complicated. In addition, even in the case where information of processing apparatuses different from each other is provided by any one of the output sections, if a key for changing the processing apparatus that outputs the information is provided in one screen, the design and structure of the control panel or the like may become complicated, and the convenience of use of keys separate from the screen may be lowered, and it may be difficult for the user to recognize the manner of use of the corresponding key or the like. Further, in the case where the first processing apparatus and/or the second processing apparatus is operated by any one of a plurality of modes such as a washing mode for washing and a drying mode for drying, it may be difficult for the user to easily grasp the selection of the mode and the selection of the apparatus, and may be confusing to the selection. Therefore, in the art, it is an important object to conveniently select a plurality of processing apparatuses through one output unit even without an additional key, and further effectively select a plurality of modes executable in one processing apparatus to perform an efficient
