  The thermohygrometer 1 configured as described above has, as predetermined information, information that may affect human health from an environmental viewpoint based on temperature and humidity (referred to as health information as appropriate), for example, , “May cause mold and mites”, “May suffer from influenza”, “May cause food poisoning”, and “May cause heat stroke” are alerted to the user. It should be noted that each health information can be appropriately simplified according to the notification method.

“Display by display”
Next, the display on the display unit 25 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the display contents of the display unit 25. As shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 25 has character information I10 (temperature acquired by the temperature sensor 22b), character information I20 (humidity acquired by the humidity sensor 22c), and an icon indicating the remaining battery level. I30 and character information I40 can be displayed. The character information I40 is simplified health information as appropriate.

  FIG. 4 shows a table (table TA10) that defines the contents of the character information I40. The table TA10 includes data for determining health information to be displayed on the display unit 25 as character information I40 based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b and the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c. It is stored in 21 ROMs.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the table TA10, the horizontal axis indicates the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b. In this example, the range from 6 ° C. to 40 ° C. in 1 ° C. is specified. In the table TA10, the vertical axis indicates the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c. In this example, the range from 20% to 100% is specified in increments of 5%. A plurality of regions are defined according to temperature and humidity. Note that the actually detected temperature and humidity are rounded off, for example, to determine which region in the table TA10 the current environment belongs to. In addition, the health information may be assigned to a range composed of one or a plurality of areas, and the control unit 21 refers to the table TA10 and there is health information corresponding to the current temperature and humidity. The health information is displayed on the display unit 25 as character information I40. Hereinafter, the display processing of the character information I40 on the display unit 25 performed based on the contents of the table TA10 and the table TA10 will be described.

  The range AR1 near the center of the table TA10 (a range not hatched, for example, a range including a temperature of 23 ° C. and a humidity of 35% to 55%) includes mites and heat stroke. Therefore, nothing is displayed as the character information I40. Even when the temperature and humidity correspond to any region in the range AR1, the character information I10, character information I20, and icon I30 are displayed on the display unit 25.

  The lower left range AR2 of the table TA10 (a range with a diagonal line rising to the right, for example, a range including a temperature of 12 ° C. and a humidity of 20% to 65%) Since there is a risk of being “affected”, “flu” is displayed on the display unit 25 as the character information I40.

  The range AR3 which is the upper half of the table TA10 (the range with small dots, for example, the temperature is 6 ° C. to 40 ° C. and the humidity is 70% to 100%) is “mold mite Therefore, “mold mite” is displayed on the display unit 25 as the character information I40.

  A range AR4 (a range with a large dot, for example, a temperature range of 20 ° C. to 40 ° C. and a humidity range of 60% to 95%) on the upper right side of the table TA10 is “food poisoning occurs. Because there is a fear, “food poisoning” is displayed on the display unit 25 as the character information I40.

  The range AR5 on the right side of the table TA10 (a range with a downward slanting line, for example, a range including a range where the temperature is 34 ° C. and the humidity is 20% to 100%) is “heatstroke” Therefore, “heat stroke” is displayed on the display unit 25 as the character information I40.

  In the table TA10, there is a range where a plurality of pieces of health information overlap. For example, in the table TA10, the range AR6 (for example, a range including a range where the temperature is 7 ° C. and the humidity is 70% to 85%) is a range where the range AR2 and the range AR3 overlap. If the current temperature and humidity correspond to any region in the range AR6, the health information corresponding to the range AR2 ("influenza") and the health information corresponding to the range AR3 ("mold / tick") Both are displayed on the display unit 25 as character information I40.

  Similarly, when the current temperature and humidity correspond to any region of the range AR7 in which the range AR3 and the range AR4 overlap, the health information (“mold mite”) corresponding to the range AR3. ) And health information (“food poisoning”) corresponding to the range AR4 are displayed on the display unit 25 as character information I40.

  Similarly, when the current temperature and humidity correspond to any region of the range AR8, which is a range in which the range AR3, the range AR4, and the range AR5 overlap, the health information (“mold” -Tick "), health information corresponding to the range AR4 (" food poisoning ") and health information corresponding to the range AR5 (" heat stroke ") are all displayed on the display unit 25 as character information I40.

  When there is health information corresponding to temperature and humidity with reference to the table TA10 regardless of the illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor 22a, the control unit 21 displays the health information as character information I40. 25.

“Notification by optical output unit”
Next, notification by the light output unit 23a will be described. FIG. 5 shows a table (table TA20) that defines the light emission conditions (light emission / non-light emission and light emission color) of the light output unit 23a. The table TA20 determines a light emission color for causing the light output unit 23a to emit light in a light emission color corresponding to health information based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b and the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c. Is stored in the ROM of the control unit 21 as data for this purpose.

  In one embodiment, “purple” is assigned as the light emission color of the light output unit 23 a when there is a “risk of mold / tick”, and the light output unit 23 a when there is a “probable cause of influenza”. “Blue” is assigned as the light emission color of “No.”, and “Green” is assigned as the light emission color of the light output unit 23a when “Food poisoning is likely to occur”. “Red” is assigned as the light emission color of the light output unit 23a. In addition, when it does not correspond to any health information, the light emission color is not assigned and the light output unit 23a does not emit light.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the table TA20, the horizontal axis indicates the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b. In this example, the range from 6 ° C. to 40 ° C. in 1 ° C. is specified. Further, in the table TA20, the vertical axis indicates the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c, and in this example, the range from 20% to 100% in 5% increments is specified. A plurality of regions are defined according to temperature and humidity. Note that the actually detected temperature and humidity are rounded off, for example, to determine which region in the table TA20 the current environment belongs to.

  In addition, the emission color of the light output unit 23a corresponding to the health information may be assigned to each range composed of one or a plurality of regions, and the control unit 21 refers to the table TA20 to determine the current temperature and humidity. If a light emission color corresponding to is present, the light output unit 23a emits light with the light emission color. Hereinafter, the contents of the table TA20 and the light emission processing of the light output unit 23a performed based on the table TA20 will be described.

  Range AR11 (the range that is not hatched, for example, a range that includes a temperature range of 23 ° C. and a humidity range of 35% to 55%) in the vicinity of the center of table TA20 may cause mites, heat stroke, and the like. Since the light output unit 23a does not emit light (no light emission), nothing is notified to the user.

  A range AR12 (a range with a diagonal line rising to the right, for example, a range including a temperature of 12 ° C. and a humidity of 20% to 65%) that is near the lower left of the table TA20 is “influenza The light output unit 23a emits light in blue.

  The range AR13 near the upper left of the table TA20 (the range with a slanting line at the lower right, for example, the range where the temperature is 12 ° C. and the humidity ranges from 70% to 100%) is “mold. Since there is a possibility that ticks will be generated, the light output unit 23a emits light in purple.

  Upper range AR14 in the center of table TA20 (a range with a narrow, upward-sloping diagonal line, for example, a range including a temperature of 21 ° C. and a humidity of 60% to 95%) Since “food poisoning may occur”, the light output unit 23a emits green light.

  A range TA15 on the right side of the table TA20 (a range with a slanting line with a narrow downward-spacing to the right, for example, a range including a range where the temperature is 30 ° C. and the humidity is 45% to 100%) is Since there is a risk of "heatstroke", the light output unit 23a emits red light.

Note that in the case of a range in which a plurality of health information overlaps (for example, a range corresponding to the range AR6, the range AR7, and the range AR8 in the table TA10), the control unit 21 identifies one health information based on the priority order. Then, the light output unit 23a is controlled so that the emission color corresponds to the one health information. In one embodiment, the priority is set as follows in consideration of the necessity of arousing health information.
・ (High priority) Heat stroke, influenza> Food poisoning> Mold and mites (Low priority)
In addition, since there is no range in which heat stroke and influenza overlap as a plurality of health information, both are set as the same rank.

  A specific example will be described. For example, when the temperature is 7 ° C. and the humidity is 80%, there is a risk of suffering from influenza, and mold and mites may be generated. For this reason, both health information is prescribed | regulated in table TA10, and all the said health information is displayed as the character information I40. However, in the table TA20, only the emission color (blue) corresponding to the higher priority “influenza” is defined, and in the health information notification by light, the light output unit 23a is caused to emit light only in blue. The

  For example, when the temperature is 21 ° C. and the humidity is 90%, food poisoning may occur, and mold and mites may occur. For this reason, both health information is prescribed | regulated in table TA10, and all the said health information is displayed as the character information I40. However, in the table TA20, only the emission color (green) corresponding to the higher priority “food poisoning” is defined, and in the health information notification by light, the light output unit 23a emits light only in green. The

  For example, when the temperature is 28 ° C. and the humidity is 90%, food poisoning may occur, mold and mites may occur, and heat stroke may occur. For this reason, the table TA10 defines three pieces of health information, and all the pieces of health information are displayed as character information I40. However, in the table TA20, only the emission color (red) corresponding to the highest priority “heat stroke” is defined, and in the health information notification by light, the light output unit 23a is caused to emit light only in red. Made.

  When there are a plurality of pieces of health information, a method of sequentially switching the light emission color of the light output unit 23a to emit light, or providing a plurality of light output units and causing each light output unit to emit light with different light emission colors is also considered. It is done. However, at present, there is a possibility that it is difficult for the user to grasp the health information that should be most carefully noted, in other words, the superiority or inferiority of the health information, and the cost is increased. Therefore, in one embodiment, priority is set for the health information, and the light output unit 23a is caused to emit light in the emission color corresponding to the health information based on the priority.

“Notification by voice output unit”
Next, health information notification using sound will be described. First, an audio menu (audio menu) that can be reproduced by the audio output unit 23b will be described. FIG. 6 shows a list of voice menus. Audio data corresponding to the audio menu shown in FIG. 6 is generated by the audio output unit 23b in accordance with control by the control unit 21, and audio corresponding to the generated audio data is reproduced.

  In the voice menu 1, voice data “There is a risk of influenza” is generated, and voice corresponding to the voice data is reproduced from the voice output unit 23b. In the audio menu 2, audio data “May cause mold generation” is generated, and audio corresponding to the audio data is reproduced from the audio output unit 23b. The other voice menus are as shown in the figure and will not be described. The voice menus 15 to 20 are voices that are reproduced when an operation mode to be described later is set, and each of the voice menus 15 to 20 corresponds to each of modes 1 to 6 to be described later. The voice menu 21 is a voice that is played when the input unit 24 is operated when the battery is insufficient (for example, the battery voltage is 3.6 V (volt) or less).

  Next, a table (table TA30) that defines the audio menu to be reproduced shown in FIG. 7 will be described. As shown in FIG. 7, in the table TA30, the horizontal axis indicates the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b. In this example, the range from 6 ° C. to 40 ° C. in 1 ° C. is specified. In the table TA30, the vertical axis indicates the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c. In this example, the range from 20% to 100% is specified in increments of 5%. A plurality of regions are defined according to temperature and humidity. Note that the actually detected temperature and humidity are rounded off, for example, to determine which region in the table TA30 the current environment belongs to.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the table TA30, there are an area with a number in parentheses and an area with no number. An area without parenthesized numbers does not correspond to any health information, so no voice notification is performed. The parenthesized number is associated with the audio menu to be reproduced. The correspondence between the numbers in parentheses in the table TA30 and the voice menu is as follows.

[Number in parentheses in table TA30]-[Voice menu]
(1)-Voice menu 2, 14
(2)-Voice menu 1, 8
(3)-Voice menu 1, 13
(4)-Voice menu 6, 9
(5)-Voice menu 4, 9
(6)-Voice menu 5, 10
(7)-Voice menu 3, 10
(8)-Voice menu 2, 14
(9)-Voice menu 4, 12
(10) -Voice menu 5,12
(11) -Voice menu 3,12

  The table TA30 is stored in the ROM of the control unit 21 as data for determining the audio menu to be reproduced by the audio output unit 23b based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b and the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c. It is remembered. When there is a voice menu corresponding to the current temperature and humidity with reference to the table TA30, the control unit 21 performs control so that the voice menu is reproduced from the voice output unit 23b. Hereinafter, the content of the table TA30 and the reproduction process of the audio output unit 23b performed based on the table TA30 will be described.

  When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (2) or (3) in the table TA30, the fact that there is a “probable risk of influenza” and the countermeasures are notified by voice. When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (2) in the table TA30, the voice menus 1 and 8 associated with (2) are sequentially reproduced. When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (3) in the table TA30, the audio menus 1 and 13 associated with (3) are sequentially reproduced.

  If the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (1) or (8) in the table TA30, the fact that there is a “possibility of mold / tick” and the countermeasures are notified by voice. In the table TA30, when the current temperature and humidity correspond to the areas to which (1) and (8) are attached, the voice menus 2 and 14 associated with (1) and (8) respectively are displayed. Played sequentially.

  When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (4) in the table TA30, the fact that there is a “possibility of food poisoning” and the countermeasures are notified by voice. When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (4) in the table TA30, the audio menus 6 and 9 associated with (4) are sequentially reproduced.

  If the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (5), (6), (7), (9), (10), (11) in table TA30 Voice alerts that there is a fear. Since there is a high or low risk of heat stroke depending on temperature and humidity, in one embodiment, the risk of heat stroke is classified into “danger”, “severe warning”, and “warning”, and is reported in detail. I am doing so.

  When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (5) in the table TA30, the audio menus 4 and 9 associated with (5) are sequentially reproduced. When the temperature and humidity correspond to the area (6) in the table TA30, the audio menus 5 and 10 associated with (6) are sequentially reproduced. When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (7) in the table TA30, the audio menus 3 and 10 associated with (7) are sequentially reproduced.

  When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (9) in the table TA30, the audio menus 4 and 12 associated with (9) are sequentially reproduced. When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (10) in the table TA30, the audio menus 5 and 12 associated with (10) are sequentially reproduced. When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area marked with (11) in the table TA30, the audio menus 3 and 12 associated with (11) are sequentially reproduced.

  Note that voice notification is also performed based on the priority set for the health information. The priorities are the same as the priorities described above.

  A specific example will be described. For example, when the temperature is 7 ° C. and the humidity is 80%, there is a risk of suffering from influenza, and mold and mites may be generated. For this reason, both health information is prescribed | regulated in table TA10, and all the said health information is displayed as the character information I40. However, in the table TA30, only the parenthesized number (2) corresponding to “influenza” having a higher priority is defined. Then, in the voice notification using the voice output unit 23b, only the voice menus 1 and 8 corresponding to (2) are reproduced.

  For example, when the temperature is 21 ° C. and the humidity is 90%, food poisoning may occur, and mold and mites may occur. For this reason, both health information is prescribed | regulated in table TA10, and all the said health information is displayed as the character information I40. However, in the table TA30, only the parenthesized number (4) corresponding to “food poisoning” having a higher priority is defined. Then, in the audio notification using the audio output unit 23b, only the audio menus 6 and 9 corresponding to (4) are reproduced.

  For example, when the temperature is 28 ° C. and the humidity is 90%, food poisoning may occur, mold and mites may occur, and heat stroke may occur. For this reason, the table TA10 defines three pieces of health information, and all the pieces of health information are displayed as character information I40. However, in the table TA30, only the parenthesized number (6) corresponding to “heat stroke” having a higher priority is defined. Then, in the audio notification using the audio output unit 23b, only the audio menus 5 and 10 corresponding to (6) are reproduced.

  It is also conceivable to notify a plurality of health information by voice. However, at present, it is difficult for the user to grasp the health information to be most careful, in other words, the superiority or inferiority of the health information, and it becomes necessary for the user to hear all the health information. Therefore, in one embodiment, priority is set and health information based on the priority is reproduced from the audio output unit 23b.

"About operation modes"
Next, operation modes that can be set in the thermohygrometer 1 will be described. FIG. 8 shows operation modes that can be set in the thermohygrometer 1. In one embodiment, six operation modes can be set. Mode 1 is an operation mode in which health information is notified by light emission from the light output unit 23a, and the health information is reproduced from the audio output unit 23b at a normal volume level (large volume). In mode 2, health information is notified by light emission from the light output unit 23a, and the health information is reproduced from the audio output unit 23b at a volume level lower than the normal volume level (sometimes abbreviated as low volume level as appropriate). This is an operation mode. Mode 3 is an operation mode in which health information is reproduced from the audio output unit 23b at a normal volume level without reporting health information by light emission from the light output unit 23a. Mode 4 is an operation mode in which health information is reproduced from the sound output unit 23b at a low volume level without reporting health information by light emission from the light output unit 23a. Mode 5 is an operation mode in which only health information is notified by light emission from the light output unit 23a. Mode 6 is an operation mode in which health information is not notified by sound and light emission. This mode 6 is a mode that is used when only the display unit 25 is operated when the thermohygrometer 1 is carried, for example, when going out for a trip or the like. In each of these operation modes, health information is always notified by display on the display unit 25.

"Overall process flow of thermo-hygrometer"
Next, the overall processing flow of the thermohygrometer 1 executed by the control unit 21 will be described. Based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b and the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c, the control unit 21 controls the notification unit 23 according to the illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor 22a.

  First, the flow of processing when the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a is greater than or equal to a threshold value (for example, 10 lux) will be described. For example, the control unit 21 acquires the temperature output from the temperature sensor 22b and the humidity output from the humidity sensor 22c at intervals of 30 seconds. Then, according to the acquired temperature and humidity, the table TA10, the table TA20, and the table TA30 are referred to and reproduced from the character information I40 to be displayed on the display unit 25, the emission color of the light output unit 23a, and the audio output unit 23b. The voice menu is determined, and when the notification timing arrives, they are notified in each output form based on the operation mode being set. The character information I10 (temperature) and the character information I20 (humidity) on the display unit 25 are updated and displayed at the timing (for example, at intervals of 30 seconds) at which the temperature and humidity are acquired.

When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a is equal to or greater than the threshold, for example, the notification timing (notification frequency) of the light output unit 23a is set at an interval of once every two minutes. When the table TA20 has a light emission color corresponding to the temperature and humidity when the notification timing has arrived, the control unit 21 causes the light output unit 23a to emit light with the light emission color.
When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a is equal to or greater than the threshold, for example, the notification timing of the audio output unit 23b is set at an interval of once per hour. When the voice menu corresponding to the temperature and humidity at the time when the notification timing arrives exists in the table TA30, the control unit 21 reproduces the voice corresponding to the voice menu from the voice output unit 23b. However, when the temperature and humidity corresponding to “danger” or “severe warning” continue to be a risk of heat stroke, it is set to notify once every 30 minutes.

  Next, the flow of processing when the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a falls below the threshold will be described. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 9A to FIG. 9E, the flow of processing corresponding to each operation mode being set when the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a falls below the threshold will be described.

  When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a falls below the threshold and the operation mode being set is mode 1, the control unit 21 executes the control shown in FIG. 9A. That is, since the mode 1 is an operation mode in which the light output unit 23a and the sound output unit 23b are operated, the control unit 21 performs control on the light output unit 23a and the sound output unit 23b.

  When the emission color corresponding to the temperature and humidity at the time when the notification timing arrives exists in the table TA20, the control unit 21 decreases the brightness (output level) and causes the light output unit 23a to emit light. In addition, the control unit 21 changes the notification timing interval of the light output unit 23a to be as long as once per hour.

  Furthermore, only when the voice menu set corresponding to the current temperature and humidity is related to heat stroke in the table TA30, the control unit 21 sends the voice corresponding to the voice menu from the voice output unit 23b. Reproduce. In other words, the control unit 21 assigns (5), (6), (7), (9), (10), and (11) to the area defined by the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30. Only when it corresponds to one of the areas, the audio output unit 23b is operated at an interval of once per hour. And the control part 21 controls the audio | voice output part 23b so that the alerting | reporting regarding heat stroke may be performed with the audio | voice corresponding to the audio | voice menu matched with the number with a parenthesis.

  Furthermore, the control unit 21 lowers the volume level (at a second volume level lower than the first volume level, which is a normal volume level), so that the audio corresponding to the audio menu is played back. To control.

  When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a is lower than the threshold value and the operation mode being set is mode 2, the control unit 21 executes the control illustrated in FIG. 9B. That is, since the mode 2 is an operation mode in which the light output unit 23a and the sound output unit 23b are operated, the control unit 21 performs control on the light output unit 23a and the sound output unit 23b.

  When the emission color corresponding to the temperature and humidity at the time when the notification timing arrives exists in the table TA20, the control unit 21 decreases the brightness (output level) and causes the light output unit 23a to emit light. In addition, the control unit 21 changes the notification timing interval of the light output unit 23a to be as long as once per hour.

  Furthermore, only when the voice menu set corresponding to the current temperature and humidity is related to heat stroke in the table TA30, the control unit 21 sends the voice corresponding to the voice menu from the voice output unit 23b. Reproduce. In other words, the control unit 21 assigns (5), (6), (7), (9), (10), and (11) to the area defined by the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30. Only when it corresponds to one of the areas, the audio output unit 23b is operated at an interval of once per hour. And the control part 21 controls the audio | voice output part 23b so that the alerting | reporting regarding heat stroke may be performed with the audio | voice corresponding to the audio | voice menu matched with the number with a parenthesis.

  Note that since mode 2 is an operation mode in which sound is reproduced at a low volume level, control relating to the volume level is not performed.

  When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a falls below the threshold and the operation mode being set is mode 3, the control unit 21 executes the control shown in FIG. 9C. That is, since the mode 3 is an operation mode in which only the audio output unit 23b is operated without operating the light output unit 23a, the control unit 21 executes only control for the audio output unit 23b.

  The control unit 21 reproduces the sound corresponding to the sound menu from the sound output unit 23b only when the sound menu set corresponding to the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30 relates to heat stroke. . In other words, the control unit 21 assigns (5), (6), (7), (9), (10), and (11) to the area defined by the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30. Only when it corresponds to one of the areas, the audio output unit 23b is operated at an interval of once per hour. And the control part 21 controls the audio | voice output part 23b so that the alerting | reporting regarding heat stroke may be performed with the audio | voice corresponding to the audio | voice menu matched with the number with a parenthesis.

  Furthermore, the control unit 21 lowers the volume level (at a second volume level lower than the first volume level, which is a normal volume level), so that the audio corresponding to the audio menu is played back. To control.

  When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a falls below the threshold and the operation mode being set is mode 4, the control unit 21 executes the control shown in FIG. 9D. Since the mode 4 is an operation mode in which only the audio output unit 23b is operated without operating the light output unit 23a, the control unit 21 executes only control for the audio output unit 23b.

  The control unit 21 reproduces the sound corresponding to the sound menu from the sound output unit 23b only when the sound menu set corresponding to the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30 relates to heat stroke. . In other words, the control unit 21 assigns (5), (6), (7), (9), (10), and (11) to the area defined by the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30. Only when it corresponds to one of the areas, the audio output unit 23b is operated at an interval of once per hour. And the control part 21 controls the audio | voice output part 23b so that the alerting | reporting regarding heat stroke may be performed with the audio | voice corresponding to the audio | voice menu matched with the number with a parenthesis.

  Note that since mode 4 is an operation mode in which sound is reproduced at a low volume level, control relating to the volume level is not performed.

  When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a falls below the threshold and the operation mode being set is mode 5, the control unit 21 executes the control shown in FIG. 9E. Since mode 5 is an operation mode in which only the light output unit 23a is operated and the audio output unit 23b is not operated, the control unit 21 executes only control for the light output unit 23a.

  When the emission color corresponding to the temperature and humidity at the time when the notification timing arrives exists in the table TA20, the control unit 21 decreases the brightness (output level) and causes the light output unit 23a to emit light. In addition, the control unit 21 changes the notification timing interval of the light output unit 23a to be as long as once per hour.

  Note that mode 6 is an operation mode in which the light output unit 23a and the sound output unit 23b are not operated, and thus the control for the light output unit 23a and the sound output unit 23b as described above is not performed.

  When the illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor 22a exceeds the threshold value, the brightness of the light output from the light output unit 23a is returned to the normal level, and the volume level of the sound reproduced from the audio output unit 23b is set to the normal level. Control to return to the volume level is appropriately performed.

“Operations performed in response to operations on the input unit”
Next, an operation performed in response to an operation on the input unit 24 will be described. Hereinafter, an operation on the input unit 24 and an operation controlled by the control unit 21 according to the operation will be described.

  When the push switch configured as the input unit 24 is pressed once, the control unit 21 determines whether there is health information according to the current temperature and humidity with reference to the table TA30. And when there exists health information, the control part 21 controls the audio | voice output part 23b, and reproduces | regenerates the sound based on the audio | voice menu (any one of the audio menus 1-14 in FIG. 6) corresponding to the said health information. . That is, by pressing the push switch once, the health information can be reproduced by sound from the audio output unit 23b regardless of the notification timing.

  If an operation of pressing the push switch once is performed within a certain time (for example, 3 seconds) after the reproduction of the health information is completed, the control unit 21 determines the currently set operation mode. And the control part 21 controls the audio | voice output part 23b, and reproduces | regenerates the audio | voice based on the audio | voice menu (any of audio | voice menu 15-20 in FIG. 6) corresponding to the operation mode currently set.

  If an operation of pressing the push switch once is performed within a certain time (for example, 3 seconds) after the end of the audio reproduction, the control unit 21 changes the operation mode from the currently set operation mode. Switch to the operation mode. And the control part 21 controls the audio | voice output part 23b, and reproduces | regenerates the audio | voice based on the audio | voice menu (any of audio | voice menu 15-20 in FIG. 6) corresponding to the operation mode after switching. Thereafter, when the push switch is pressed within a certain time, the operation mode is switched, and sound based on the sound menu corresponding to the operation mode after switching is reproduced. In addition, when the operation is not performed within a predetermined time and then the operation of pressing the push switch is performed, the operation described first (reproduction of health information by sound) is performed.

  According to the embodiment described above, when the illuminance is low, the brightness of the light output unit 23a is lowered or the volume level of the reproduced sound is lowered. Can be prevented from disturbing sleep. Further, when the user is absent, the power consumption of the thermohygrometer 1 can be reduced and energy saving can be realized. On the other hand, in the operation mode in which voice notification is performed, since voice notification is always performed for heat stroke, the risk of unconsciously getting heat stroke during sleep in recent years has been reduced. it can. Furthermore, by setting priorities for health information, it is possible to report health information that is more necessary for the user.

  In addition, the conventional usage mode of the thermo-hygrometer is generally to check the thermo-hygrometer based on human senses, in other words, when you feel dryness of the throat and skin or feel a sense of discomfort in the temperature of the body. It was a flow. However, according to the thermohygrometer 1 of one embodiment, the user can roughly know the relationship between the current environment and information on health risks by viewing the emission color of the light output unit 23a on the front surface. Then, a new usage form of the thermohygrometer 1 can be provided in which the user recognizes detailed information by viewing the display unit 25 disposed on the back as necessary.
