(description of washing and drying procedure)
Next, a washing and drying process performed by the washing machine 10 will be described. The control part 20 performs a plurality of washing courses and drying courses by controlling the washing tub unit 30. The plurality of cleaning processes include a standard process, a quick process, a fragrant process, a strong washing process, a gentle process, a blanket process, a deodorization process, an energy saving process, and a soaking process. In each washing process, the temperature of the washing water can be determined to be cold water and warm water. The plurality of cleaning processes are different from each other in at least one of the washing process, the rinsing process, and the dehydrating process. The multiple drying programs include a standard program, a quick program, and a hard-baking program. The user can determine one washing course and the water temperature from among the plurality of washing courses by operating the operation unit 16. Further, the user can determine whether to perform the drying process and the drying program in the case of performing the drying process by operating the operation unit 16. The operations for determining the washing program, the water temperature, the presence or absence of the drying process, and the drying program, which are executed by the user through the operation unit 16, are referred to as determination operations. Further, the control part 20 may cause the washing tub unit 30 to perform only at least one of the washing process, the rinsing process, the dehydrating process, and the drying process. The user can perform an operation of determining a process to be performed by the washing tub unit 30 by operating the operation unit 16. Such an operation for determining a process is also referred to as a determination operation.
(advertisement display processing)
The control unit 20 executes an advertisement display process of displaying the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 on the display unit 14. In the advertisement display process, advertisements are displayed in accordance with the situation in which the user is present around the washing machine 10 and the situation in which the washing machine 10 is operating. In the advertisement display processing, the timing of displaying the advertisement and the content of the displayed advertisement are determined. The advertisement display processing executes various processing including the washing start processing shown in fig. 3, the washing and drying processing shown in fig. 4, the filter-removal-time display processing shown in fig. 5, the lighting-time display processing shown in fig. 6, the equipment-operation-time display processing shown in fig. 7, the cleaning-time display processing shown in fig. 8, and the setting-time display processing shown in fig. 9.
(cleaning initiation treatment)
The cleaning start process executed by the control unit 20 will be described with reference to fig. 3. The washing start process is started when the user switches the power switch 16a of the washing machine 10 from off to on. First, when power switch 16a is switched from off to on, control unit 20 supplies electric power to display unit 14, operation unit 16, detection unit 18, washing tub unit 30, and communication module 40 to start washing machine 10 in S12.
Next, at S14, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information. Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 502" which is database identification information recorded in the timing database 500 in combination with "start-up". Note that, although step numbers are given to the timing database 500 for the purpose of explanation, they may not be given actually. The same applies to the timing databases 501 and 503. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 502 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 502". The control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information based on content information included in the advertisement identification information.
For example, as will be described later, in the washing start process, the washing course, the water temperature, the drying course, or the process determined by the user is accumulated and stored (S29). The control unit 20 identifies advertisement identification information using history information, which is information such as cleaning programs accumulated and stored. Specifically, in the case where the history information indicates that the frequency of the hard wash is higher than that of the other programs in the stored wash program or the like, advertisement identification information including content information indicating "hard wash program is more" is selected. For example, when the history information indicates that the stored washing program or the like is not limited to a specific program but various washing programs, it is determined that the user is the "housewife", and advertisement identification information including the content information of the "housewife" is selected. That is, the control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information using user information (e.g., housewives, students, athletes, etc.) which is information related to the user of the washing machine 10. The user information may be determined from the history information by the control unit 20, or may be stored in the control unit 20 by the user using the operation unit 16 or the like. In addition, when the advertisement identification information matching the history information is not included in the advertisement database 502, the control unit 20 may select advertisement identification information including content information indicating "random".
Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information. According to this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display advertisements useful for the user using the history information and the user information. In the modification, the control unit 20 may specify the advertisement information using one of the history information and the user information.
Next, in S16, control unit 20 waits until the opening of the door of tub 32 is detected by the detection result of washing detection unit 38. During execution of S16, the advertisement displayed in S14 is continuously displayed on the display unit 14.
When the door is detected to be opened (yes in S16), in S18, the controller 20 selects one piece of advertisement information from the one or more pieces of advertisement information stored in the memory 22, and causes the display unit 14 to display an advertisement indicated by the selected piece of advertisement information. In addition, when the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information in S14 is a moving image and the advertisement of the moving image is not ended at the timing of executing the process of S18, the advertisement of S18 is displayed after the end of the advertisement of S14. In the modification, the display of the advertisement at S14 may be suspended and the advertisement at S18 may be displayed. The same applies to the following.
At S18, the control unit 20 identifies "DB 502" which is database identification information recorded in combination with "door opened" recorded in the timing database 500. Next, the advertisement identification information is selected in the same manner as S14, and the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information is acquired from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information.
Next, at S20, control unit 20 monitors the acquisition of the laundry information from reading unit 34. When the user opens the door of the washing tub 32 at S16, the laundry 400 to be washed is put into the washing tub 32. When a user puts laundry 400 to be washed into washing tub 32, reader 34 reads tag 402 attached to laundry 400. Thereby, the control unit 20 obtains the laundry information from the reading unit 34. At S22, control unit 20 stores the acquired laundry information in memory 22, and proceeds to S24. On the other hand, if laundry information is not obtained in S20 (no in S20), the process of S22 is skipped and the process proceeds to S24.
In S24, control unit 20 monitors the detection of the door of tub 32 being closed, using the detection result of detection unit 38. If the door is not closed (no in S24), the flow returns to S20. If the processing from S20 to S24 is repeatedly executed, laundry information of a plurality of laundry items 400 is acquired. On the other hand, when the door is closed (yes in S24), in S25, controller 20 obtains climate information (including, for example, temperature information, weather information, and humidity information) indicating the climate (for example, temperature, weather (clear, cloudy, rainy, and the like), humidity, and the like) of the area where washing machine 10 is installed from an external server (not shown) via internet 100. Next, at S26, one piece of advertisement information is selected from the one or more pieces of advertisement information stored in the memory 22 using the clothes information stored at S22 and the climate information acquired at S25, and the advertisement indicated by the selected piece of advertisement information is displayed on the display unit 14. In addition, the timing of displaying the advertisement is the same as S18. Hereinafter, the timing of displaying the advertisement is the timing immediately after the end of the advertisement selected and displayed previously.
At S26, control unit 20 identifies "DB 504" which is database identification information recorded in combination with "acquired clothes information and climate information" recorded in timing database 500. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 504 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 504". The control unit 20 performs selection based on the content information included in the advertisement identification information. For example, when the clothing information shows that the clothing 400 made of cotton is stored in a large amount, the clothing information including the expression "material: advertisement identification information of content information of cotton ". For example, when the climate information indicates that there is a large amount of pollen, the selection includes a selection indicating "climate: and "pollen is abundant" content information. Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information. With this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display an advertisement useful for the user using the laundry information (for example, material information relating to the material) and the climate information. In the modification, the control unit 20 may specify the advertisement information using one of the clothing information and the climate information.
Next, in S28, the control unit 20 monitors the execution of the determination operation by the user on the operation unit 16. If the determination operation is performed (yes in S28), in S29, the controller 20 causes the memory 22 to store the washing program, the water temperature, the drying program, or the process determined by the determination operation. The memory 22 cumulatively stores the determined washing program, water temperature, drying program, or process. With this configuration, the washing machine 10 can acquire a history of the washing program and the like determined by the user. Next, at S30, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22 by using the cleaning program or the like stored at S29, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies the "DB 506" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "determination operation" recorded in the timing database 500. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information based on the content information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 506 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 506". For example, when the cleaning program determined at S28 is a standard program, advertisement identification information including content information indicating "standard program" is selected. For example, when the washing program determined at S28 is a heavy washing program, advertisement identification information including content information indicating "heavy washing program" is selected. Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. When a plurality of advertisement identification information pieces including content information indicating "power wash program" are selected, the control unit 20 acquires advertisement information pieces for the plurality of advertisement identification information pieces. That is, the control unit 20 specifies the advertisement information using the program information indicating the washing program or the like of the laundry process decided by the user. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information. When a plurality of advertisement information is acquired, a plurality of advertisements are displayed in sequence. With this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display an advertisement useful for the user using the program information.
Next, in S32, the control unit 20 monitors the operation unit 16 for use to perform a start operation or a reservation operation. The start operation includes an operation of a start button of the operation unit 16. In the reservation operation, the user operates the operation unit 16 to set the timing at which the cleaning program determined in S28 should be executed. When the start operation or the reservation operation is performed (yes in S32), in S34, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information. The process of S34 is the same as the process of S30.
Next, in S36, the control part 20 causes the washing tub unit 30 to execute the weight detection process. Specifically, the controller 20 detects the weight of the laundry (i.e., the laundry 400) put into the washing tub 32 based on the load applied to the motor when the washing tub 32 is rotated. Next, in S38, the control unit 20 selects one piece of advertisement information from the one or more pieces of advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in parallel with the weight detection processing of S36, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected piece of advertisement information. At S38, the control unit 20 identifies the DB502, which is the database identification information recorded in combination with the "weight detection processing" recorded in the timing database 500, and executes the same processing as that at S16.
Next, at S40, controller 20 determines the amount of detergent to be put into tub 32 based on the weight detected at S36 and the washing program determined at S28, and displays the determined amount on display 14. Next, at S41, the controller 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22 together with the display of the detergent amount at S40, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 508" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "displayed detergent amount" recorded in the timing database 500. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 508 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 508". Specifically, the control unit 20 randomly selects one or more advertisement identification information regardless of the content information.
In next S42, the control unit 20 monitors the input of a laundry treatment agent such as a detergent (for example, a detergent, a softener, a bleaching agent, etc.). For example, when the user opens or closes the detergent inlet, the control unit 20 determines that the detergent has been completely introduced. Next, at S44, the control unit 20 selects one piece of advertisement information from the one or more pieces of advertisement information stored in the memory 22, displays the advertisement indicated by the selected piece of advertisement information on the display unit 14, and proceeds to S46. At S44, the control unit 20 identifies "DB 508" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "detergent input" recorded in the timing database 500, and executes the same processing as that at S41. If the washing process is not included in the washing program or the like determined in S28, the process from S40 to S44 is skipped and the process proceeds to S46. The control unit 20 may select the advertisement identification information using laundry treatment agent type information indicating the type of laundry treatment agent (for example, detergent, softener, etc.) to be put in. With this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display an advertisement useful for the user using the laundry treatment agent type information. The control unit 20 may acquire the manufacturer of the laundry treatment agent to be put in, the fragrance, and the like, for example, through input from the user. In this case, the advertisement identification information (for example, "softener of the same manufacturer" in the advertisement database 508) may be selected using the manufacturer of the laundry treatment agent, the laundry treatment agent-related information such as fragrance, and the like.
In S46, the control unit 20 starts the cleaning and drying process based on the cleaning program determined in S28, and ends the cleaning start process. In the washing start process, the user is located at the periphery of the washing machine 10. By displaying the advertisement during the washing start process, the advertisement can be displayed at a timing at which the user can easily recognize the advertisement displayed on the washing machine 10.
(cleaning and drying treatment)
Next, the cleaning and drying process will be described with reference to fig. 4. When the washing and drying process is started in S46, first, in S60, the control unit 20 acquires time information indicating the current time. The time information is obtained by a clock function built in the control unit 20. In the modification, the control unit 20 may acquire time information from an external server (for example, the advertisement server 200).
Next, at S62, the control unit 20 selects one piece of advertisement information from the one or more pieces of advertisement information stored in the memory 22, displays the advertisement indicated by the selected piece of advertisement information on the display unit 14, and proceeds to S63. Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 510" which is database identification information recorded in combination with "start of the washing and drying process" recorded in the timing database 501. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from among the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 510 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 510". The control section 20 makes a selection based on the content information included in the advertisement identification information.
For example, when the time indicated by the acquired time information in S60 indicates night (for example, 23: 00 to 3: 00), advertisement identification information including content information of "night" is selected. Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information. With this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display an advertisement useful for the user using the time information.
In S63, the controller 20 determines whether or not the washing process is included in the washing program determined in S28. If the washing process is included (yes in S63), control unit 20 supplies water to washing tub 32 in S64. Next, at S65, when the washing and drying process is started, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22, displays the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information on the display unit 14, and proceeds to S66.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 512" which is database identification information recorded in combination with "water supply" recorded in the timing database 501. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 512 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 512". The control section 20 makes a selection based on the content information included in the advertisement identification information.
For example, when warm water is selected in the washing program determined in S28, advertisement identification information including content information indicating "warm water" is selected. Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information. In addition, when the advertisement identification information to be selected cannot be specified, the control unit 20 may select advertisement identification information indicating "random" in the advertisement database 502. With this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display an advertisement useful for the user, using water temperature information indicating that the water is warm water, for example.
In S66, control unit 20 causes washing tub unit 30 to start the washing process. Next, at S68, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22 based on the content of the washing process started at S66, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information. The controller 20 causes the display 14 to repeatedly display the advertisement indicated by the advertisement information selected in S68 until the washing process started in S66 is completed.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 514" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "washing process" recorded in the timing database 501. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 514 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 514". The control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information including content information included in the advertisement identification information, that is, content information indicating "washing process". Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information. According to this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display an advertisement associated with the washing process during the washing process.
When the washing process started at S66 is completed, the process proceeds to S70. On the other hand, if the washing step is not included (no in S63), the process from S64 to S68 is skipped, and the process proceeds to S70.
At S70, control unit 20 determines whether or not the rinsing process is included in the washing program or the like determined at S28. If the rinsing process is included (yes in S70), controller 20 causes tub unit 30 to start the rinsing process in S72. Next, at S74, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22 based on the content of the rinsing step started at S72, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information. The controller 20 causes the display 14 to repeatedly display the advertisement indicated by the advertisement information selected in S74 until the rinsing process started in S72 is completed.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 514" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "rinsing step" recorded in the timing database 501. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 514 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 514". The control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information including content information included in the advertisement identification information, that is, content information indicating "rinsing process". Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information. According to this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display an advertisement related to the rinsing process during the rinsing process.
When the rinsing process started in S72 is completed, the process proceeds to S76. On the other hand, if the rinsing step is not included (no in S70), the process from S72 to S74 is skipped, and the process proceeds to S76.
In S76, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the washing program or the like determined in S28 includes a dehydration step. If the dehydration step is included (yes in S76), controller 20 causes washing tub unit 30 to start the dehydration step in S78. When the dehydration step started in S78 is completed, the process proceeds to S80. On the other hand, if the dehydration step is not included (no in S76), the process of S78 is skipped and the process proceeds to S80. In S80, the control unit 20 determines whether or not the washing program or the like determined in S28 includes a drying step. If the drying process is included (yes in S80), controller 20 causes washing tub unit 30 to start the drying process in S82. Next, at S84, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information. The controller 20 causes the display 14 to repeatedly display the advertisement indicated by the advertisement information selected in S84 until the drying process started in S82 is completed, and then proceeds to S86.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 514" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "drying process" recorded in the timing database 501. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 514 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 514". The control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information including content information included in the advertisement identification information, that is, content information indicating a "drying process". Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information. According to this configuration, the washing machine 10 can display an advertisement associated with the drying process during the drying process.
On the other hand, if the drying process is not included (no in S80), the process from S82 to S84 is skipped, and the process proceeds to S86.
In S86, control unit 20 waits until all steps of the cleaning program and the like determined in S28 are completed. When all the steps are completed (yes in S86), the control unit 20 executes a completion report in S88. In the completion report, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display a character string indicating that all the processes have been completed. In the completion report, the control unit 20 may cause a speaker of the washing machine 10, not shown, to output a sound indicating that all the steps have been completed. Next, at S90, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information. After displaying the advertisement for a predetermined period of time, the control unit 20 stops the display of the advertisement on the display unit 14 and ends the washing and drying process.
In the washing and drying step, advertisements corresponding to the respective steps of the washing program can be displayed. In the dehydration step, which is relatively noisy, no advertisement is displayed. According to this configuration, the advertisement can be displayed at a timing at which the user can relatively easily recognize the advertisement.
(display processing when detaching Filter)
If the washing machine 10 performs the washing and drying process on the laundry 400, lint and dust are accumulated in the filter 36 of the tub unit 30. The user performs cleaning work or replacement work of the filter 36. At this time, the control unit 20 executes filter removal display processing. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, in S102, control unit 20 monitors removal of filter 36 when the power supply of washing machine 10 is switched from off to on. Specifically, the control unit 20 waits for a signal indicating that the filter 36 is removed from the cleaning detection unit 38. When the signal indicating that the filter 36 is detached is acquired, the control unit 20 determines that the filter 36 is detached (yes in S102), and in S104, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 516" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "filter removal display processing" recorded in the timing database 503. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 516 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 516". The control section 20 makes a selection based on the content information included in the advertisement identification information. For example, the control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information including content information indicating "filter". Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information.
Next, in S106, the control unit 20 monitors that the filter 36 is attached. Specifically, the control unit 20 monitors the acquisition of a signal indicating that the filter 36 is attached from the cleaning detection unit 38. When the signal indicating that the filter 36 is attached is acquired, the control unit 20 determines that the attachment of the filter 36 is detected (yes in S106), and in S108, the control unit 20 stops the display of the advertisement started in S104 and ends the filter-detached-time display processing.
During the removal of the filter, there is a high likelihood that the user is positioned around the washing machine 10. Therefore, by displaying the advertisement in the display process when the filter is detached, the advertisement can be displayed in a state where the user is located around the washing machine 10. Further, advertisements related to detachment of the filter, for example, advertisements of new types of filters, advertisements of stores where filters can be purchased, and the like can be displayed.
(display processing at the time of lighting)
Next, the lighting display processing will be described. As shown in fig. 6, in S122, control unit 20 monitors lighting of the room in which washing machine 10 is installed. Specifically, the control unit 20 monitors the acquisition of a signal indicating that the illuminance in the room exceeds a predetermined illuminance from the detection unit 18. When the signal indicating that the illuminance has exceeded the predetermined illuminance is acquired, the control unit 20 determines that the illumination has been turned on (yes in S122), and in S124, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22 and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies "DB 502" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "display processing at lighting time" recorded in the timing database 503. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 502 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 502". The control section 20 makes a selection based on the content information included in the advertisement identification information. For example, the control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information including content information indicating "lighting". In addition, the control unit 20 may select advertisement identification information indicating "random" from the advertisement database 502 when the advertisement identification information indicating "on" is not stored in the advertisement database 502. Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information.
Next, in S126, the control unit 20 monitors that the indoor lighting is turned off. Specifically, the control unit 20 waits for the detection unit 18 to acquire a signal indicating that the illuminance in the room has dropped to or below a predetermined illuminance. When the signal indicating that the illuminance has decreased is acquired, the control unit 20 determines that the illumination is off (yes in S126), and in S128, the control unit 20 stops the display of the advertisement started in S124 and ends the on-time display processing.
While the illumination in the room where the washing machine 10 is installed is on, there is a high possibility that the user is located around the washing machine 10. Therefore, by displaying the advertisement during the lighting-up display processing, the advertisement can be displayed in a situation where the user is located around the washing machine 10.
(display processing at the time of device operation)
Next, the device operation display processing will be described. As shown in fig. 7, in S142, control unit 20 monitors the operation of the home appliances (for example, dryers) located around washing machine 10. Specifically, the control unit 20 monitors the acquisition of a signal indicating that the operating sound of the home appliance is detected from the detection unit 18. When the signal indicating that the operation sound is detected is acquired, the control unit 20 determines that the home appliance is operated (yes in S142), and in S144, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22 and displays the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information on the display unit 14.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies the "DB 502" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "device operation display processing" recorded in the timing database 503. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 502 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 502". The control section 20 makes a selection based on the content information included in the advertisement identification information. For example, the control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information including content information indicating "device operation". Further, the control unit 20 may select advertisement identification information indicating "random" from the advertisement database 502, similarly to the lighting-up display processing. Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information.
Next, in S146, control unit 20 monitors the operation stop of the home appliances located around washing machine 10. Specifically, the control unit 20 monitors the acquisition of a signal indicating that the operating sound of the home appliance is no longer detected from the detection unit 18. When the signal indicating that the operation sound is no longer detected is acquired, the control unit 20 determines that the operation of the home appliance is stopped (yes in S146), and in S148, the control unit 20 stops the display of the advertisement started in S144 and ends the device operation display processing.
During operation of the home appliances located around the washing machine 10, there is a high possibility that the user is located around the washing machine 10. Therefore, by displaying the advertisement in the display processing while the apparatus is operating, the advertisement can be displayed in a condition where the user is located around the washing machine 10.
(display treatment at cleaning time)
Next, the cleaning display processing will be described. As shown in fig. 8, in S162, the control part 20 monitors the execution of the cleaning operation for executing the washing tub cleaning program by the user to the operation part 16. When the cleaning operation is performed (yes in S162), the control part 20 causes the washing tub unit 30 to execute the washing tub cleaning program in S163. Next, while the washing tub cleaning process is being executed, in S164, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22, and causes the display unit 14 to display an advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies the "DB 502" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "cleaning-time display processing" recorded in the timing database 503. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 502 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 502". The control section 20 makes a selection based on the content information included in the advertisement identification information. For example, the control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information including content information indicating "clean". Further, the control unit 20 may select advertisement identification information indicating "random" from the advertisement database 502, similarly to the lighting-up display processing. Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information.
Next, in S166, the control unit 20 monitors the completion of the washing tub cleaning process. When the washing tub cleaning process is completed (yes in S166), in S168, the control unit 20 stops the display of the advertisement started in S164 and ends the cleaning-time display process.
During the cleaning operation, there is a high possibility that the user is located around the washing machine 10. Therefore, by displaying the advertisement in the cleaning-time display process, the advertisement can be displayed in a condition where the user is located around the washing machine 10. In addition, it is possible to display an advertisement associated with the cleaning of the washing tub, for example, an advertisement of a detergent, an advertisement of a washing machine in which the washing tub is not easily soiled, and the like.
(display processing at setting time)
Next, the setting display processing will be described. As shown in fig. 9, at S182, control unit 20 monitors the setting operation performed by the user on operation unit 16 for communicably connecting washing machine 10 to an external device (for example, portable terminal 300). When the setting operation is performed (yes in S182), in S184, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22, and causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information.
Specifically, the control unit 20 specifies the "DB 502" which is database identification information recorded in combination with the "display processing at setting time" recorded in the timing database 503. Next, the control unit 20 selects one or more advertisement identification information from the advertisement identification information recorded in the advertisement database 502 identified by the identified database identification information "DB 502". The control section 20 makes a selection based on the content information included in the advertisement identification information. For example, the control unit 20 selects advertisement identification information including content information indicating "setting". In addition, when the advertisement identification information indicating "set" is not stored in the advertisement database 502, the control unit 20 may select advertisement identification information indicating "random" from the advertisement database 502. Next, the control unit 20 acquires the advertisement information stored in the memory 22 in combination with the selected advertisement identification information from the memory 22. Next, the control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to display the advertisement indicated by the acquired advertisement information.
Next, in S186, the control unit 20 monitors that the setting operation is completed (for example, the user operates the setting completion button). When the setting operation is completed (yes in S186), in S188, the control unit 20 stops the display of the advertisement started in S184 and ends the setting-time display processing.
During the setting operation, there is a high possibility that the user is located around the washing machine 10. Therefore, by displaying the advertisement during the setting-time display process, the advertisement can be displayed in a state where the user is located around the washing machine 10.
(Effect)
In washing machine 10 of the present embodiment, advertisements related to the washing program and the like executed by washing machine 10, the detergent and the like put in, and the laundry processing executed by washing machine 10 are displayed on display unit 14. This makes it possible to display an advertisement useful for the user, for example, compared to a configuration in which an advertisement indicated by advertisement information acquired from an external server or the like is displayed without being associated with the clothes treatment being performed. This can attract the attention of the user.
In particular, by changing the displayed advertisement in accordance with the process executed by the washing machine 10, the user can obtain the advertisement in accordance with the process being executed by the washing machine 10.
(corresponding relationship)
The washing machine 10 is an example of a "laundry treating apparatus". The display unit 14 is an example of an "output unit". The washing tub unit 30 is an example of a "status acquisition unit", and the weight detection process of S36 is an example of a "detection process". The process of S40 for displaying the amount of detergent is an example of the "usage amount output process". The filter 36 is an example of a "detachable member".
Further, the laundry machine activation at S12, the door opening at S16, the laundry information at S20, the climate information at S25, the washing program, the water temperature, the drying program or step determined at S29, the starting operation or the reservation operation at S32, the weight of the laundry at S36, the detergent amount at S40, the detergent input at S42, the time information at S60, the water supply at S64, the washing step at S66, the rinsing step at S70, the dewatering step at S78, the drying step at S82, the completion of the step at S86, the filter detachment at S102, the lighting of the illumination at S122, the operation of the household electrical appliance at S142, the washing program at S164, and the advertisement output after the setting operation at S182 are examples of "the advertisement related to laundry treatment".
(second embodiment)
With reference to fig. 21 and 22, a washing machine 10 according to the present embodiment will be described with respect to the point different from the first embodiment. Note that the same components as those of the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof is omitted. The washing tub unit 30 of the washing machine 210 includes a detergent storage 238. The detergent storage unit 238 includes one or more cartridges for storing detergents, softeners, and the like used in the washing process. The detergent storage unit 238 is provided with a liquid level sensor for detecting the remaining amount of detergent or the like in each cartridge. The liquid level sensor is, for example, a float-type sensor floating in liquid detergent or the like. The liquid level sensor transmits a signal indicating that the remaining amount of the detergent or the like is small to the control unit 20 when the remaining amount is reduced to a predetermined amount or less.
The reading unit 34 includes an imaging device (e.g., a camera) for reading a code representing a form such as a two-dimensional code attached to the clothing 400, instead of a reader capable of reading a tag.
(advertisement display processing)
Next, regarding the advertisement display process performed by the washing machine 210 of the present embodiment, a point different from the process performed by the washing machine 10 of the first embodiment will be described. First, in the washing start process, at S20, control unit 20 causes reading unit 34 to read the code attached to laundry 400. Thereby, the control unit 20 acquires the laundry information. In the modification, the reading unit 34 may include a reader and an imaging device. In this case, the control unit 20 may obtain the clothing information by any one of the reader and the imaging device according to whether the clothing 400 is attached with the tag or the code.
(cleaning and drying treatment)
Next, the washing and drying process executed by the control unit 20 of the washing machine 210 will be described with reference to fig. 22. In the washing and drying process of the present embodiment, even if the washing process of S64, S66, the rinsing process of S72, and the drying process of S82 are performed, no advertisement is displayed. That is, the control section 20 does not perform the processing of S65, S68, S78, and S84. On the other hand, when the dehydration step is executed in S78, in S279, the control unit 20 selects one advertisement information from the one or more advertisement information stored in the memory 22 based on the content of the dehydration step started in S78 by the control unit 20, and displays the advertisement indicated by the selected advertisement information on the display unit 14. The control unit 20 causes the display unit 14 to repeatedly display the advertisement indicated by the advertisement information selected in S279 until the washing process started in S78 is completed.
In the washing and drying step, an advertisement corresponding to the dehydration step of the washing program is displayed. In this configuration, the user is displayed with an advertisement at a timing when the noise from the washing tub 32 is relatively large. This can prevent the user from being confused by the noticeable sound of the advertisement at a timing when the noise from the washing tub 32 is relatively small. Further, the control unit 20 may display an advertisement at the final stage of the dehydration step. In the final stage of the dehydration step, the noise is small, and the displayed advertisement sound can be easily heard.
The advertisement outputted after the dehydration step at S78 is an example of "advertisement related to cleaning processing".
While several embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments have been presented by way of example and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These embodiments can be implemented in other various ways, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
(1) In the above-described embodiment, advertisement information is acquired from the advertisement server 200. However, the memory 22 may also be pre-stored with advertisement information. Alternatively, the control unit 20 may acquire advertisement information indicating an advertisement provided on the internet 100.
