  However, in the conventional configuration, only a case where a specific washing process is performed in a specific washing apparatus is considered. Even in the case of the same washing, for example, in the washing process that emphasizes the difficulty of damaging clothing such as “Delicate Course” and “Soft Washing”, the degree of damage to the clothing is low. In the case of a washing process with an emphasis on shortening time and removing dirt, which is called "course" or "strong washing course", the degree of damage to clothing increases. Even if all of these are added as the number of times of washing and the indication of the possible number of times of washing is reached, the actual degree of damage to clothing cannot be accurately reflected.

  In addition, since the number of times of washing is incremented once with the completion of a series of operations from washing to drying and pressing by the washing device, the actual clothing when only washing or drying by the clothing drying device is performed. The degree of damage cannot be reflected in the number of washings.

(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 shows a configuration diagram of a clothing information recording apparatus according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

  In FIG. 1, the product tag 2 includes information storage means 12 and stores information such as identification information of the clothing, the number of washings, and the number of dryings. The clothing information recording device 13 includes an information acquisition unit 14 that acquires information from the information storage unit 12 and an information recording unit 15 that records information in the information storage unit, and exchanges information with the product tag 2 by wireless or wired communication. To do. The information display unit 16 displays information in the information storage unit 12 acquired by the information acquisition unit 14. The information setting means 17 sets the contents of information recorded in the information storage means 12 by the information recording means.

  The washing process setting means 18 sets the washing process of the clothes washing apparatus 19. The comparison means 20 compares the information about the washing process in the information storage means 12 acquired by the information acquisition means 14 with the washing process set by the washing process setting means 18, and if the two are different, the notification means 21 notifies them. To do.

  The drying process setting means 22 sets the drying process of the clothes drying device 23. The comparison means 20 compares the information regarding the drying process in the information storage means 12 acquired by the information acquisition means 14 with the drying process set by the washing process setting means 22, and if the two are different, the notification means 21 notifies them. To do.

  About the clothing information recording apparatus comprised as mentioned above, the operation | movement and an effect | action are demonstrated below. First, when washing clothes, when the clothes are put into the clothes washing apparatus 18, the product tag 2 attached to the clothes and the clothes information recording apparatus 13 are brought into contact or close to each other, and the information acquisition means 14 stores the information. Information in the means 12 is acquired. The information to be acquired includes identification information of the clothing, the number of times of washing, and a washing process desired by the user for the clothing. The information acquired by the information acquisition unit 14 is displayed on the information display unit 16 and can be confirmed by the user. At this time, information that can be arbitrarily set by the user, such as a washing process desired by the user, can be set by the information setting means 17.

  Next, the washing process is set by the washing process setting means 18 provided in the clothes washing apparatus 19. At this time, the comparison means 20 compares the washing process set by the washing process setting means 18 with the washing process desired by the user acquired by the information acquisition means 14, and notifies them by the notification means 21 if they are different. . At the same time, it can be displayed on the information display means 16. When washing a plurality of clothes at once, the two are compared for all clothes, and if there are one or more different clothes, the notification means 21 notifies them. At the same time, if the information display means 16 is configured to display the identification information and setting contents of different clothes, the user can easily recognize clothes having different settings. When the notification is made, the user executes the washing process as it is, or changes the setting of the washing process of the clothes washing apparatus 19 or changes the information about the washing process in the information storage means 12 in the product tag 2. After taking the appropriate action, the washing process is started.

  When the clothes are taken out from the clothes washing apparatus 19 after the washing process is completed, the information in the information storage means 12 is obtained again by the information obtaining means 14, and the value corresponding to the washing process performed in the clothes washing apparatus 19 is set as the number of washings. The information is added and recorded by the information recording means 15. “The value according to the washing process” is, for example, 1 time for the standard washing process, 1.5 times for the washing process for the purpose of shortening the time and a strong washing effect, and the emphasis on the damage resistance of the clothes. For courses, it may be 0.5 times.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the product tag 2 attached to the garment and recorded with the identification information of the garment, the rewritable information storage means 12 provided in the product tag 2, and the information storage An information acquisition unit 14 that acquires information from the unit 12 and an information recording unit 15 that records information in the information storage unit 14, and the information recording unit 15 each time washing of the clothing by the clothing washing apparatus 19 is completed. By arbitrarily increasing the number of times of washing recorded in, the number of times of washing is arbitrarily increased with respect to one washing process, and a clothing information recording device that accurately reflects the state of clothing can be provided. .

  In addition, before and after the washing process, the number of washing times acquired by the information acquisition unit 14 is compared with a guideline of the number of times that washing is possible. If the number of washings is larger, the information display unit 16 displays that the clothing replacement period has come By doing so, it is possible to communicate to the user.

  Further, by integrating the clothing information recording device 13 and the clothing washing device 19 of the present embodiment, the installation area, wiring, etc. can be reduced, and the convenience for the user is improved.

  The same applies to the case where clothes are dried using the clothes drying device 23. Information such as a guideline of the number of times of drying and the number of times that the clothes can be dried, a drying process desired by the user, etc. are exchanged, and information setting means is used as necessary. It is possible to set information at 17, transmit information to the user using the information display unit 16, or notify the user using the notification unit 21.

  Further, by integrating the clothing information recording device 13 and the clothing drying device 23 of the present embodiment, the installation area, wiring, and the like can be reduced, and the convenience for the user is improved.

  Further, by integrating the clothing information recording device 13, the clothing washing device 19, and the clothing drying device 23 of this embodiment, the installation area, wiring, piping, etc. can be further reduced, and the convenience for the user is improves.

  As described above, the garment information recording apparatus according to the present invention can arbitrarily increase the number of times of washing with respect to one washing process. The present invention can also be applied to uses such as a machine, a clothes dryer, and an integrated clothes washer / dryer.
