Further, the input / output device may be integrated with the computer.

<Monitoring process>
Next, processing executed by the system will be described. FIG. 5 is a process flow illustrating an example of a monitoring process executed by the control unit 11 of the toilet 1. In the monitoring process, the toilet 1 transmits data (also referred to as “sensing data”) collected via the sensor 142 to the server 2. Data accumulated in the server 2 by this process can be downloaded from the administrator terminal 3 or the like, and an administrator who operates the administrator terminal 3 can grasp or analyze the state of the toilet 1. it can. In the monitoring process, for example, when a predetermined state that is determined to be abnormal is detected via the sensor 142, the notification server 4 is immediately notified or information is stored in the server 2.

  First, when each sensor 142 detects information, the sensor 142 converts the detected information into a digital signal and outputs the digital signal to the processing unit 141. On the other hand, the processing unit 141 stores the information output from the sensor 142 in the data storage unit 143.

When the sensor 142 is a human sensor, the control unit 141 causes the data storage unit 143 to store the number of toilet users (that is, the number of times the human sensor has detected a person). When the sensor 142 is a flow rate sensor, the control unit 141 causes the data storage unit 143 to store the total flow rate of the wash water that has flowed to the toilet bowl. When the sensor 142 is a door lock sensor, the control unit 141 stores information indicating whether or not the door is locked in the data storage unit 143, and when the door is locked, the door is locked. The elapsed time is counted. When the sensor 142 is a seating sensor, the control unit 141 stores information indicating whether or not a person is sitting on the toilet seat in the data storage unit 143, and when the person is sitting on the toilet seat, detects the seating. Count elapsed time since. Note that the elapsed time since the door was locked and the elapsed time since the seating was detected can be counted using a timer included in the control unit 11 or the control unit 141, for example.

  The processing unit 141 outputs information stored in the data storage unit 143 to the control unit 11 of the toilet 1 at a predetermined interval. On the other hand, the control unit 11 of the toilet 1 first determines whether information (that is, sensing data) from the sensor 142 has been received (FIG. 5: step S1). As described above, the information of the sensor 142 is transmitted from the control unit 141 of the toilet booth 14 to the control unit 11 at a predetermined interval or as soon as it is detected. When it is determined that the information of the sensor 142 has been received, the control unit 11 stores the received data in the data storage unit 13 (S2).

  After S2, or when the information of the sensor 142 is not received in S1 (S1: NO), the control unit 11 determines whether a predetermined condition is satisfied (S3). In this step, for example, it is determined whether it is a predetermined time or a predetermined period has elapsed. When it is determined that the predetermined condition is satisfied (S3: YES), the control unit 11 transmits information of the sensor 142 or predetermined data to the server 2 via the network 5 (S4). In this step, the number of users for each toilet booth, the amount of cleaning water used, and the like are transmitted. As the “predetermined condition” in S3, for example, a condition that can be determined as an abnormal state is set in association with the sensing data, and the control unit 141 outputs information to the control unit 11 promptly. It may be. More specifically, when the door remains locked for a predetermined time or longer, the control unit 141 outputs information to the control unit 11 and the output information is promptly transmitted from the control unit 11 to the server 2 or the like. You may make it transmit to.

  After S4 or when it is determined in S3 that the predetermined condition is not satisfied (S3: NO), the process returns to S1. And the control part 11 repeats said process until a toilet system is turned off, for example. On the other hand, the network I / F of the server 2 receives the information of the sensor 142 transmitted by the control unit 11 in S4. For example, the auxiliary storage device stores the received information. Further, the information of the sensor 142 stored in the server 2 is downloaded from the administrator terminal 3 or transferred to the notification destination server 4 via the network 5, for example. In this way, it is possible to provide a system that can monitor information indicating the state of the toilet from a remote location.

<Specific example 1 of monitoring processing>
For example, when the sensor 142 is a human sensor, the control unit 11 transmits information on the sensor 142 from the control unit 141 in S1 at a predetermined timing or whenever the sensor 142 (human sensor) detects the presence of a person. In S <b> 2, for example, the information is aggregated for each control unit 141 (that is, for each toilet booth 14) in association with the identification information of the control unit 141. For example, when the control unit 11 detects that a predetermined time is reached in S3, the control unit 11 transmits the total data for a predetermined period stored in the data storage unit 13 to the server 2 as information of the sensor 142 in S4. To do.

In the server 2, the above data is tabulated as “number of users” for each toilet 1 (for example, for each floor of a building) and for each day. FIG. 6 shows an example of the total data. In FIG. 6, each toilet 1 is given a name and represented as “toilet category”. The table in FIG. 6 includes columns of “toilet category”, “date”, and “number of users”, and the number of users per day is tabulated for each toilet category. Then, the manager terminal 3 can download information as shown in FIG. Note that the table shown in FIG. 6 may be further cross tabulated in the server 2 or the administrator terminal 3 to create a cross tabulation table. FIG. 7 shows an example of the cross tabulation table. The cross tabulation table of FIG. 7 has a date at the front, a toilet division on the front side, and a corresponding value is written in each cell. Information from the sensor 142 is aggregated and utilized as described above.

  As described above, according to the first specific example of the monitoring process, the number of toilet users can be monitored from a remote location. By using the total values as described above, it is possible to analyze the number of visitors to the building where the toilet 1 has been introduced, and to use it for cleaning the toilet and creating a replenishment plan for consumables. In addition, since it is not necessary for the person in charge to visit each toilet in order to obtain the aggregated value, if this system is installed in a building that is located in the suburbs and has a small number of toilets 1, work on personnel costs will be particularly important. Efficiency can be improved.

<Specific example 2 of monitoring processing>
For example, when the sensor 142 is a flow rate sensor, the control unit 11 obtains information on the sensor 142 from the control unit 141 in S1 at a predetermined timing or whenever the sensor 142 (flow rate sensor) detects the discharge of cleaning water. In S <b> 2, for example, the information is aggregated for each control unit 141 (that is, for each toilet booth 14) in association with the identification information of the control unit 141. For example, when the control unit 11 detects that a predetermined time is reached in S3, the control unit 11 transmits the total data for a predetermined period stored in the data storage unit 13 to the server 2 as information of the sensor 142 in S4. To do.

  In the server 2, the above data is tabulated as “washing water usage” for each toilet 1 (for example, for each floor of a building) and for each day. Moreover, the administrator terminal 3 can download the information of the amount of washing water used for each floor and for each day.

  As described above, according to the specific example 2 of the monitoring process, the usage amount of the cleaning water can be monitored from a remote place. By using the total value as described above, it is possible to check the water saving situation of the building where the toilet 1 is introduced, or to change the setting of the usage amount or detect a malfunction of the control valve. Further, as in the first specific example of the monitoring process, the person in charge does not need to visit each toilet in order to obtain the total value, so that the present system is installed in a building that exists in the suburbs and has a small number of toilets 1. In particular, the efficiency can be improved.

<Specific example 3 of monitoring processing>
For example, when the sensor 142 is a door lock sensor, a seating sensor, or a combination thereof, when the control unit 11 detects that the door is locked or a user of the toilet is seated, in S1, the control unit 141 Information to that effect is received, and the information is stored in the data storage unit 13 in S2. In S3, for example, when the control unit 11 detects that a predetermined time has elapsed since the door is locked or the user is seated, in S4, the control unit 11 uses the information to that effect as a server 142 information. 2 to send. In S3, when it is detected that the door is locked and not seated for a predetermined time or longer, information to that effect is transmitted from the control unit 11 to the server 2 in S4. You may do it.

Further, the server 2 transfers the above data to, for example, the notification destination server 4. For example, information indicating that the above-described state has been detected for a predetermined time or longer in the notification destination server 4 that is an external mail server with the mail address of a predetermined person in charge as the destination, An e-mail including information for identifying the detected toilet booth 14 is transmitted. In this way, a predetermined person in charge can quickly know that the state has been detected.

  As described above, according to the specific example 3 of the monitoring process, the staying status of the toilet user can be remotely monitored. When the above-mentioned state continues for a predetermined time or longer, for example, a user who needs to be rescued due to the possibility that a suspicious person stays in the toilet booth 14 or because of illness or injury in the toilet booth 14 Is suspected of existing. Therefore, when the above-described state continues for a predetermined time or more, if a notification is given to alert a predetermined person in charge, crime prevention and safety can be improved.

<Specific example 4 of monitoring processing>
The sensor 142 may be a sensor for collecting various logs, a circuit for detecting the state of the toilet 1, or the like. For example, the control unit 141 detects other errors through the sensor 142, such as turning on the power of the device, the remaining battery level, the presence or absence of water leakage, the state of the water level sensor of the washing water, the result of life / death monitoring by confirming the response to the device. It may be acquired and stored in the data storage unit 143 as log data.

  The control unit 11 receives the information of the sensor 142 from the control unit 141 at S1 at a predetermined timing or whenever the sensor 142 detects an error or the like, and associates with the identification information of the control unit 141, for example, at S2. (Ie, associated with the toilet booth 14). For example, when the control unit 11 detects that a predetermined time is reached in S3, the control unit 11 transmits log data for a predetermined period stored in the data storage unit 13 to the server 2 as information of the sensor 142 in S4. To do.

<Other variations>
In addition to the above specific example, when an abnormality as described in the specific example 3 of the monitoring process is detected based on information from the sensor 142, for example, a security camera at a toilet entrance (not shown) is operated, A log including the time at which the error is detected and the content of the abnormality may be recorded.

  For example, a log as shown in FIG. 8 may be recorded, and the log may be transmitted from the toilet 1 to the server 2 at a predetermined timing or whenever a log is recorded. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining an example of a log. In the example of FIG. 8, “power-on”, “controller”, “external module battery remaining”, “external module A / D conversion error”, “emergency SW input”, “long-term resident”, “ "Leakage detection", "Cleaning failure: Water level sensor does not change", "Cleaning failure: Water level sensor does not become full", "Cleaning failure: No response from flash valve", "Counter command execution", "Undefined interrupt occurred" ”,“ EEPROM error: restart ”,“ incomplete cleaning: restart ”, and the like. The above specific examples and modifications may be executed in combination.

<Setting change processing>
FIG. 9 is a process flow illustrating an example of the setting change process executed by the toilet 1. In addition to the monitoring process described above or instead of the monitoring process described above, a setting change process described below may be executed. In the setting change process, for example, settings relating to the toilet 1 can be changed from the administrator terminal 3 via the network 5.

  For example, the manager who operates the manager terminal 3 uniquely identifies the identification information set in advance so that the controller 11 of the toilet 1 can be uniquely identified, or the controller 141 of the toilet booth 14. The change instruction information including the identification information set in advance and information indicating the changed setting is uploaded to the server 2 at an arbitrary timing.

In addition, examples of items that can be changed in the device settings include the flow rate of cleaning water, the size determination time that is a threshold when changing the flow rate according to the user's stay time, and the type of sound of the onomatopoeia device for toilets The onomatopoeia mode to represent is mentioned.

  On the other hand, the processing shown in FIG. 9 is executed at a predetermined time or at a predetermined interval. First, the control unit 11 of the toilet 1 inquires of the server 2 via the network 5 whether, for example, data instructing a setting change is uploaded (FIG. 9: S11). When it is determined that data exists (S11: YES), the control unit 11 downloads data instructing the setting change from the server 2 and reflects the setting change (S12). After S12 or when it is determined that no data exists in S11 (S11: NO), the process returns to S11. And the control part 11 repeats said process until the toilet 1 is turned off, for example.

  It should be noted that the predetermined time and the predetermined interval for confirming whether the data for instructing the setting change has been uploaded may be changed by the setting change process.

<Specific example 1 of setting change processing>
FIG. 10 shows an example of settings for each toilet booth. The table of FIG. 10 includes “serial number”, “installation location”, “use classification”, “Japanese / Western classification”, “base type”, “individual number”, “serial number”, “small washing flow rate”, “large washing”. It includes columns such as “flow rate”, “large / small judgment time”, “continuous cleaning prevention time”, “cleaning motor operation time”, “clutch ON time”, “motor rotation direction during cleaning”, and “pseudo sound mode”. For example, the administrator who operates the administrator terminal 3 creates or changes data as shown in FIG. 10 and outputs the value of each item to a CSV (Comma Separated Value) format file separated by commas. Upload the CSV file to the server 2.

  On the other hand, the control unit 11 of the toilet 1 downloads a CSV file from the server 2 via the network communication unit 12 at a predetermined timing, and changes the setting of the toilet 1 based on the downloaded CSV file. Note that the setting is changed by updating the setting information stored in the data storage unit 13. Each device (not shown) provided in the toilet 1 is controlled based on setting information stored in the data storage unit 13.

  For example, the opening and closing of a cleaning water control valve (also referred to as an “electromagnetic valve”) is controlled based on the amount of cleaning water that is set for each of urine and stool. Conventionally, a target value for the amount of cleaning water to be flowed in one cleaning is determined, and an electromagnetic valve is received in response to feedback of the actual flow rate derived based on the rotational speed of a rotating impeller that rotates as the cleaning water is discharged. There was a technology to automatically correct the opening and closing time of the. However, in order to change the target value, the person in charge had to visit the site to change the setting. According to this specific example, the target value can be changed via the network 5.

<Specific example 2 of setting change processing>
For the device provided in the toilet 1, the state of the device may be promptly changed. In other words, the device provided in the toilet 1 may be remotely operated almost in real time.

  For example, an electromagnetic valve for discharging wash water may be opened and closed via the network 5. In particular, in a toilet where well water is used as cleaning water, the electromagnetic valve may become clogged with dust. In such a case, clogging is often eliminated by repeatedly opening and closing the electromagnetic valve several times. In such a case, according to this specific example, since the person in charge can solve the problem via the network 5 without going to the site, convenience related to maintenance is greatly improved.
