According to this configuration, it is possible to appropriately adjust the illuminance in the local image displayed on the display means, and thus it is possible to check the local state with higher accuracy.

  Further, in the first and second cleaning toilet seats according to the present invention, when a predetermined location is designated in the image displayed on the display means, the cleaning conditions of the cleaning means are controlled so that the predetermined location can be cleaned. You may comprise. According to this configuration, when the part that has not been completely cleaned is specified when the local state is confirmed with the actually displayed image, the part can be reliably cleaned.

Furthermore, a first cleaning toilet seat local display device according to the present invention has a configuration that is detachable from a cleaning toilet seat provided with a cleaning means for cleaning the local part, and an imaging unit that images the local part and generates an image; And display means for displaying an image generated by the imaging means.
Furthermore, a second cleaning toilet seat local display device according to the present invention is configured to be detachable from a cleaning toilet seat provided with a cleaning means for cleaning the local part, and an imaging means for imaging the local part and generating an image; And transmitting means capable of transmitting the image to the portable terminal, and the image generated by the imaging means is configured to be displayed on the display means of the portable terminal via the transmitting means. .

According to the first and second cleaning toilet seat local display devices according to the present invention, the imaging means and the display means are provided separately from the cleaning toilet seat body, and are configured to be detachable from the cleaning toilet seat. It is possible to visually check the state of the local area by attaching it to an existing toilet seat instead of replacing it. Therefore, it is possible to realize a cleaning toilet seat capable of reliably performing local hygiene management at a lower cost. Further, if the user carries the washing toilet seat local display device, the local hygiene management can be performed even when the user is away from home, so the local hygiene management can be more reliably performed.
In the present invention, the portable terminal is not particularly limited as long as it is a portable information processing terminal capable of reading external information, and examples thereof include a cellular phone, a PHS, and a portable notebook computer.

  According to the cleaning toilet seat according to the present invention, since the local state can be visually confirmed, it is possible to grasp the local cleaning state and to accurately apply the medicine to the local part by itself. Therefore, according to the cleaning toilet seat according to the present invention, not only local hygiene management can be reliably performed, but also it can be effectively used in a wide range of fields such as medical treatment, welfare, and nursing care.
