It is preferable that these screens can be displayed simultaneously by, for example, a multi-window system. However, if the resolution of the user's terminal is insufficient, use the “back” button or “next screen” button of the browser. You may make it possible to browse while switching the screen.

In this example, for an elderly person under the condition that "half body paralysis (cerebrovascular disorder, etc.) and walking (independence) are possible", the excretion operation pattern in the toilet is decomposed into a plurality of scenes as shown in FIG. In each of the scenes, the presented reform plan is configured so that the improvement of the operation of the elderly can be individually explained as shown in FIG.

In the following, concrete explanations will be given. [1] In response to the operations of [1] opening the door and entering the toilet, [2] placing the cane, (A) eliminating the step so as not to trip (replacing the floor), (B) Change of door opening / closing method (sliding door / folding door),
(C) The improvement point of installing the cane hook for placing the cane is shown, and it is understood that this makes it easier to get in and out of the toilet and to move, thereby preventing the danger of falling. next,
In response to the actions of [3] approaching the toilet, [4] undressing, [5] sitting on the toilet, [6] excreting,
