It is something to be made.

  The operation in the above configuration will be described.

  First, a washing process and a drying process including three processes of a washing process, a rinsing process, and a dehydrating process will be described with reference to FIG. When the clothes 33 is put into the inner tub 6 and the operation is started by the operation unit 26, the water supply valve 23 is driven and water is supplied until the water level detected by the water level detection means 24 becomes the washing water level in the washing process. Is driven to operate the rotary blade 7 to clean the clothes 33. At this time, the drain valve 21 and the switching valve 22 are closed.

  Thereafter, the drain valve 21 is opened, drained, re-watered, rinsed through the rinsing process in the same manner as the washing process, and in the dehydrating process, the centrifuge generated by rotating the inner tub 6 containing the garment 33 at high speed. The clothes 33 are pressed against the inner wall of the inner tank 6 by the force, and moisture is separated from the clothes 33 by this centrifugal force and dehydrated.

  In the drying process of finishing the washing process and drying the garment 33, the inner tub 6 is passed through the upper bellows-like hose 16 and the hot air jet hole 19 by the air blown by the drying fan 14 and the heat generated by the heater 15 with the switching valve 22 opened. Dry hot air is sent to

  At this time, when the clothing 33 and the rotary blade 7 are flipped up by the left-right rotation, or are subsequently dropped, the warm air sent into the inner tub 6 passes through the gap between the movements of these clothing. Moisture is taken away from the clothes, and in a moist state, the water is taken out from the inner tub 6 to the inner side of the outer tub 5, then passes through the lower bellows-like hose 12, passes through the switching valve 22, and reaches the circulation duct 13. This flow is indicated by arrows in the figure.

  When the hot air containing moisture passes through the inner wall of the outer tub 5 and the circulation duct 13, the outer walls of the outer tub 5 and the circulation duct 13 are cooled by the inflow of external air by the cooling fan 20. The moisture of the moist air is condensed on the inner wall, and the moist hot air is dehumidified and returned to the drying fan 14. The moisture condensed on the inner wall of the outer tub 5 passes through the switching valve 22 and is appropriately discharged from the drain port 34 together with the moisture condensed on the inner wall of the circulation duct 13.

  Next, the equipment state monitoring function for confirming the equipment state of the washing and drying apparatus 1 with the information terminal apparatus 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 12 to 18.

  In FIG. 12, the washing / drying control means 25 is set in the washing process, the rinsing process, the dehydration process, the drying process (for example, the washing time in the washing process) of the washing / drying apparatus 1, and the open / close detection unit 18. The open / close state of the inner lid 17 is always grasped, and the motor 11, the heater 15, and the water supply valve 23 are sequentially controlled in accordance with the set contents. On the other hand, the washing / drying control means 25 outputs data relating to the operating state of the washing machine drying apparatus 1 such as the setting contents, the process currently in progress, and the power-on / off state to the data transmission means 28a, and the data transmission means 28a A data signal (by radio) is output to the data transmission means 28b of the information terminal device 2.

  In FIG. 15, the control means 32 of the information terminal device 2 can always grasp the operation state of the washing and drying apparatus 1 by receiving data on the operation state from the washing and drying apparatus 1 via the data transmission means 28 b. The operating state of the washing / drying apparatus 1 is displayed on the display means 29.

  Here, although the operation state (especially the process display) of the washing / drying apparatus 1 displayed on the display means 29 will be described, the control means 32 of the information terminal apparatus 2 is operated by the washing / drying apparatus 1 as shown in the flowchart of FIG. Knowing that the course has started, the process contents set in the driving course in S1 (in this case) the process corresponding to the washing process, the rinsing process, the dehydration process, and the drying process in a one-to-one correspondence. When the mark image (29d to 29g in FIG. 15) is displayed on the display means 29 and it is detected that the washing process is completed in S2, the mark image 29d indicating the washing process is deleted in S3, and hereinafter, S4 to S9. The mark image corresponding to the process completed when the rinsing process, the dehydration process, and the drying process are completed is erased, and when all the operation course contents are completed, the operation completion screen (FIG. 1) is displayed. Of 29h) pop-up on the display means 29 (interrupt) is displayed.

Here, the pop-up (interrupt) display will be described. As shown in FIG. 18, the display means 29 in recent years (the output setting of the control means 32) displays normal display contents 29a (in this case, the washing / drying apparatus 1). It is possible to interrupt the operation end screen 29h so as to cover the operation state display) without overwriting it, and this interrupt display method is generally called pop-up display. The pop-up (interrupt) display informs the user of the event that occurred suddenly at the end of the operation course of the washing / drying apparatus 1 or when an abnormality such as an abnormality in water supply or drainage occurs in the washing / drying apparatus 1. A screen popped up (interrupted in this case) 29h used in the case of squeezing (in this case, the operation end screen) 29h is provided on the same screen (in this case) when "confirmation (image)" 29i is pressed (on the screen The screen 29h interrupted and displayed (via the touch panel (input means) 30 provided on the screen) is deleted, and the normal display screen 29a hidden underneath is displayed.

  However, in the conventional configuration, for example, when the user attends a side of the washing / drying apparatus 1 installed in the dressing room and performs a driving course that ends in a short time (such as performing only the washing process), the user Can be easily known by the end buzzer sound notified by the washing and drying apparatus 1 (beside the washing and drying apparatus 1), but at the end of the operation, the washing and drying control means 25 performs the washing process, rinse The process data of the process, dehydration process, and drying process are cleared and transmitted to the information terminal device 2, and the control means 32 of the information terminal device 2 performs each process in S2 to S9 as shown in the flowchart of FIG. The process mark image is deleted, and the operation end screen 29h is uniquely displayed.

  In this example, a user who knows the end of the washing / drying apparatus 1 driving course at the dressing room returns to the living room (installed on the wall of the living room) on the display means 29 of the information terminal apparatus 2 ( Not only will the operation end screen 29h be seen, but also displaying the operation end screen 29h on the display means 29 is an operation for erasing the operation end screen (in FIG. 17, the “confirm” button 29i ) Has been accompanied by a problem of increasing the extra effort and lowering the operation.

  The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, even when the user performs an operation course that ends in a short time, such as by being present beside the washing and drying apparatus 1 (for example, performing only the washing process), It is an object of the present invention to provide a washing system that displays appropriate contents on the display means of an information terminal device.

  In order to solve the above-described conventional problems, the washing system and the program thereof according to the present invention display an operation end screen on the display means when the time required for operation is less than a predetermined time at the end of the operation course of the washing apparatus. This is what I did not.

  As a result, when a driving course that ends in a short time, such as when the user witnesses beside the washing apparatus (only the washing process, etc.) is performed, for example, an end buzzer sound that is notified by the washing apparatus The user who knows the end can no longer see the (completely understood) driving end screen on the information terminal device, and can further reduce the trouble of erasing the unnecessary driving end screen, thereby improving the user-friendliness.

  The washing system and the program thereof according to the present invention are configured such that when the time required for driving is less than a predetermined time at the end of the driving course of the washing apparatus, the driving end screen is not displayed on the display means. When a person who runs a driving course that ends in a short period of time (such as only performing a washing process) by the side of the washing machine, the use of the end of driving is known by the buzzer sound that the washing machine notifies The user can no longer see the (completely understood) driving end screen on the display screen of the information terminal device, and can further reduce the trouble of erasing the unnecessary driving end screen, thus improving the user-friendliness. .

  In addition, as a pattern often used when washing white clothes and black clothes separately, for example, in a washing machine, after a user performs a short operation (only white clothes are washed), the pattern is continued (black If you start another drive (washing clothes), in this example, you finished the first drive (washed white clothing) while you were driving later (washing black clothing) ) There are very many cases where the user sees the operation end screen telling that the user has misunderstood that the subsequent operation (the operation for washing the black clothes) has been completed. However, in the laundry system and its program of the present invention, When the time required for the course is short, since the operation end screen is not displayed on the display screen of the information terminal device, such a misunderstanding can be prevented.

  1st invention is the washing system provided with the information terminal device which confirms the driving | running state of a washing apparatus, The said communication apparatus and the said information terminal device are the said data communication means which transmits or receives data, such as a driving | running state, The information terminal device includes display means for displaying the operation state of the washing device, and the information terminal device displays the display when the time required for the driving course is less than a predetermined time at the end of the operation of the washing device. By not displaying the operation end screen on the means, if the user performs a driving course that ends in a short time (such as performing only the washing process) such as by beside the laundry device, the laundry device will notify The user who knows the end of driving by the driving end buzzer sound will not be shown again on the display screen of the information terminal device. To, can achieve the operation without permission improvement for labor can also be reduced to erase the extra end of the operation screen.

  In particular, in the laundry system of the first invention, the information terminal device includes a comparison time setting means for setting a time to be compared with a time required for the driving course of the laundry device. Because it is possible to freely set the time for judging that it is a short-time operation, even in the various environments where the washing machine is installed, for example, even for fluctuations in the operation course that fluctuates depending on the water supply capacity and drainage capacity A suitable comparison time can be set.

  According to a third aspect of the invention, in particular, in the washing system of the first aspect of the invention, the washing device performs sequential control of washing and drying, and the information terminal device finishes the driving course with the last dehydration process in the washing device. If the user is not at the place where the washing apparatus is installed at the end of the driving course, the last of which is the dehydration process, by displaying the driving end screen on the display means, the information terminal Since the end notification is given by the device, dewatering wrinkles of clothes and odors in the inner tank in summer can be reduced by leaving the dehydrated clothes in the inner tank (due to the weight of the clothes themselves). .

  Further, the information terminal device displays an operation end screen on the display unit when the washing course finishes the driving course lasting in the drying process, so that the information terminal device displays the washing device on the washing device. When the operation course with the drying process as the last is completed, the operation end screen is displayed on the display means, so that the user can install the washing apparatus when the last operation course with the drying process is completed. Even if you are not at the place, the information terminal device will notify you of the end, so reducing the wrinkles of clothing that occurs when the dried clothing is left in the inner tub (by the weight of the clothing itself) Can do.

  In a fourth aspect of the invention, in particular, in the laundry system of the first aspect, the information terminal device includes screen display setting means for setting whether or not to display a driving end screen, and the information terminal device includes the screen. When the display means is set to display the operation end screen, the operation end screen is uniquely displayed on the display means, so that two or more people can share the washing device in a two-family house or a common facility. For any reason (even if the user knows the end of driving, even if the user knows the end of driving), the information terminal device informs the end of driving in any case Even when it is necessary, whether or not to display the operation end screen can be selected by setting the screen display setting means.

  In particular, the fifth invention is a program for causing a computer to realize at least one of the functions of the laundry system according to any one of the first to fourth inventions. According to this configuration, the laundry system does not display the operation end screen on the display means when the time required for the operation is less than the predetermined time at the end of the operation course of the washing apparatus. If you perform a driving course that ends in a short time, such as doing a washing process while being present beside the laundry device, you will not have to display the driving end screen on the display screen of the information terminal device, so you will have to delete the unnecessary driving end screen Can be reduced. Further, since it is a program, at least a part of the laundry system of the present invention can be easily realized by cooperating hardware resources such as an electric / information device, a computer, and a server. In addition, the program can be distributed / updated and installed easily by recording on a recording medium or distributing the program using a communication line.
