Here, the payment information includes information indicating the name of the dish eaten by the user P or the contents of the dish.

  In the toilet seat system 10 configured as described above, the controller 13a of the control device 13 executes a biological information output program shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the biometric information output program will be described.

  The controller 13a (more specifically, the CPU) repeatedly executes the biological information output program in step S10 at predetermined short time intervals. In the subsequent step S11, the controller 13a determines whether the user P of the unspecified number of users is seated on the toilet seat 12b of the toilet seat device 12 and starts using it, in other words, the user P operates the toilet seat 12b It is judged whether you have sat down and started to excrete. For convenience of explanation, although it is assumed that the user P uses a large number of unspecified users, when using the toilet seat system 10, the controller 13a of the control device 13 provided in the toilet seat main body 12a Do not recognize "user P".

  Specifically, in step S11, if the controller 13a receives a seating signal from the seating sensor 15, the user P is seated on the toilet seat 12b and starts excretion (starts), so "Yes". And the process proceeds to step S12. On the other hand, if the controller 13a inputs the leaving signal from the seating sensor 15 in step S11, no one is excreted, so the controller 13a determines "No" and proceeds to step S15 described later.

  In step S12, the controller 13a acquires biological information obtained from the excrement excreted by the user P in the seat-type toilet bowl 11. Specifically, the controller 13a is configured of various gases (hydrogen gas, carbon dioxide, odorous gas such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide) emitted by the excrement excreted by the user P from the gas concentration sensor that constitutes the sensor group 16 Information (data) of concentration, information (data) of size and color of excrement from image sensor, or information (data) of amount of excrement from water sensor or weight sensor are acquired. Then, the controller 13a temporarily stores various information (various data) acquired from the sensor group 16 in the temporary storage unit 13b, and proceeds to step S13.

  In step S13, the controller 13a determines whether the user P has left the toilet seat 12b and finished using it, in other words, whether or not the user P has left the toilet seat 12b and has ended the excretion. Determine Specifically, if the controller 13a continues to receive the seat leaving signal from the seating sensor 15 in step S13, the user P has left the toilet seat 12b and finished discharging, so "Yes And the process proceeds to step S15. On the other hand, if the controller 13a continues to receive the seating signal from the seating sensor 15 in step S13, the controller 13a continues to excrete in the state where the user P is seated on the toilet seat 12b, so "No". It determines and progresses to step S14.

  In step S14, the user P holds and is authenticated by the user P the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage portion 13b in step S12 through the output portion 13c. The output processing to transmit and output to the portable terminal device 20 is executed. That is, the controller 13a transmits temporary information to the temporary storage unit 13b to the output unit 13c while the user P ends the excretion or until the predetermined time elapses after the end of the excretion. Is output to the portable terminal device 20.

  In this case, the user P personally authenticates the portable terminal device 20 owned by the user P and activates the portable terminal device 20 and enables the short distance wireless communication unit 22 to communicate. The wireless communication unit 22 is held over the output unit 13c provided on the sleeve 12a1. Thereby, near field communication is established between the output unit 13 c and the near field communication unit 22, and the controller 13 a outputs the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13 b to the output unit 13 c (see FIG. To send). The output unit 13 c transmits and outputs the biological information to the portable terminal device 20 via the short distance wireless communication unit 22 in accordance with the command of the controller 13 a.

  Then, when the controller 13a instructs the output unit 13c to output (transmit) the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b, the process returns to step S11 again, and the user P is seated on the toilet seat 12b. It is determined whether the Then, the controller 13a repeatedly executes each step processing from the step S11 to the step S14 until the user P leaves the toilet seat 12b and determines “Yes” in the step S13. When the determination step of step S11 is executed again, if the user P has left the toilet seat 12b, as described above, the controller 13a determines “No” and proceeds to step S15.

  When the controller 13a determines "No" in the determination step processing of the step S11, or determines "Yes" in the determination step processing of the step S13, that is, the user P leaves the toilet seat 12b. If excretion has not been performed or excretion has been completed, step S15 is executed. In step S15, the controller 13a ends the acquisition of biological information. That is, the controller 13a ends the input of the various information (various data) supplied from the sensor group 16, and stores the various information (various data) obtained from the excrement excreted by the user P in the temporary storage unit 13b. Finish the thing. And controller 13a will progress to Step S16, if acquisition of living body information is completed.

  In the case where the controller 13a determines "No" in the determination step processing of the first step S11 after the start of the execution of the biological information output program which is repeatedly executed, that is, nobody in the public toilet room T When not using it, the sensor group 16 as a living body information detection device has not acquired any living body information. Therefore, also in this case, the controller 13a does not acquire any biological information from the sensor group 16 as in the case where the acquisition of the biological information from the sensor group 16 is finished in the step S15. Therefore, also in this case, the controller 13a does not store various information (various data) in the temporary storage unit 13b.

  In step S16, the controller 13a executes an erasing process for erasing the various information (various data) temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b, in other words, the biological information of the user P. That is, when the user P excretes excrement, the step processing of step S16 is executed by the output unit 13c of the personal information of the user P temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b by the portable terminal This is the case where output processing is performed by the device 20. Therefore, the controller 13a erases all information (data) temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b after the output processing of the biological information to the portable terminal device 20 by the output unit 13c. Thus, in the public toilet room T used by an unspecified number of people, it is reliably prevented that the biological information that can correspond to the personal information of the user P can remain in the temporary storage unit 13b of the control device 13 Be done.

  When the controller 13a erases the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b in step S16, the controller 13a temporarily terminates the execution of the biological information output program in step S17. Then, when a predetermined short time has elapsed, the controller 13a again starts the execution of the biological information output program in step S10.

  On the other hand, in the portable terminal device 20 owned by the user P, the control unit 21 uses the biological information of the user P (that is, from the excrement obtained by the short distance wireless communication unit 22 from the output unit 13c of the control device 13). The storage unit 23 stores the obtained various information (various data). In this case, the control unit 21 stores, for example, the acquired biological information in the storage unit 23 so as to be stored in order of date and time. Then, the biological information analysis unit 21a of the control unit 21 analyzes the biological information stored in the storage unit 23 by executing the biological information analysis application stored in the storage unit 23, thereby causing the user P to be healthy. Present health promotion information to promote.

  When the biological information analysis unit 21a executes the biological information analysis application, the user P acquires by eating and drinking from image information, text information, and payment information stored in the storage unit 23 in addition to the biological information. Acquire intake information that represents calories or intake. In this case, the biological information analysis unit 21a receives the image information of the food (food) eaten by the user P read by the camera unit 27, the identifier information representing the calorie or the amount of food (food), and the input unit 28 At least two of text information representing the contents of the input food (food) and the payment information of the food settled by the settlement unit 29 are acquired as intake information.

  And when analyzing about the quantity of the excretion relevant to intake calorie as a health condition item related to the health condition of the user P, the living body information analysis part 21a is related to the quantity of excretions among living body information, for example Information and the calorie and amount consumed by the user P estimated from the image information of the food (food) of the intake information, and the user P estimated from the payment information of the food and drink of the intake information Compare time with time. Further, the living body information analysis unit 21 a refers to the step count data related to the daily exercise amount of the user P stored in the storage unit 23. Thus, when the biological information analysis unit 21a analyzes that the amount of excrement is smaller than the amount taken by the user P and the number of steps represented by the number of step data is smaller than the target number of steps to consume calories, The display unit 24 is used to present (propose) health promotion information such as “Let's eat less and exercise” to the user P.

  In addition, when analyzing the excretion interval related to the number of constipation days as the health condition item, the biological information analysis unit 21a, for example, information related to the amount of excrement in the biological information and the excretion time, and The amount consumed by the user P estimated from the image information of the food (food) of the food, the amount of vegetables consumed by the user P estimated from the text information of the food (food) of the intake information, Compare Thereby, when the biological information analysis unit 21a analyzes that the excretion interval of the user P is long, health promotion such as "let's eat vegetables because it is constipated" for the user P using the display unit 24. Present (propose) information.

  Furthermore, when analyzing the nutritional balance as a health condition item, the biological information analysis unit 21a, for example, information related to the concentration of odorous gas of excrement in biological information, and food and drink in the intake information ( The amount consumed by the user P estimated from the image information of the cooking) and the type of food consumed by the user P estimated from the identifier information of the barcode described in the label of the intake information are compared . Thereby, when the biological information analysis unit 21a analyzes that the nutritional balance of the user P is biased, the health promotion information such as "Nature is biased to the user P" using the display unit 24. To present (suggest)

  Here, the biological information analysis unit 21a can analyze the health condition item using only the biological information. For example, when the biological information analysis unit 21a analyzes the excretion interval as a health condition item, for example, the information related to the amount of excrement in the biological information and the excretion time, and the size of the excretion in the biological information Analyze information related to sheath shape and color. Thereby, when the biological information analysis unit 21a analyzes that the excretion interval of the user P is long, the display unit 24 is used to present health promotion information such as "Constipated" to the user P (proposed (Suggested ).

  As can be understood from the above description, the toilet seat system 10 of the above embodiment is provided in the seat-type toilet bowl 11 as a toilet bowl installed in the toilet room T and used when the user P excretes And a control device 13 provided inside the toilet seat device 12 for controlling various functions (nozzle device 14 etc.) of the toilet seat device 12 and whether the user P excrements excrement in the stool type toilet bowl 11 or not It is a toilet seat system provided with the seating sensor 15 as an excretion state detection device to detect, and the sensor group 16 as a living body information detection device which detects the living body information showing the state of excretion.

  In this case, the toilet room T is a public toilet room T provided in a public place and used by an unspecified number of people. Also, in these cases, the toilet seat device 12 is a warm water washing toilet seat having a nozzle device 14 that ejects washing water to wash the local area of the human body.

  In the toilet seat system 10, the control device 13 temporarily stores the biological information detected by the sensor group 16, and the user P is detected by the seating sensor 15, when the user P is detected. The portable terminal device 20 is a portable terminal device that is owned by and authenticated by the user P, and has a biological information analysis unit 21a that analyzes the biological information on the health condition items related to the user P's health condition. And an output unit 13c for outputting the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b, and a controller 13a for controlling the operation of the temporary storage unit 13b and the output unit 13c. The controller 13a includes the output unit 13c. After execution of the output process of outputting biological information to the portable terminal device 20 (step S14), the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b Executing the erasing process of erasing (step S16), and thus constituted.

  According to this, the output unit 13c of the control device 13 is various information (various data) detected by the sensor group 16 on the side of the toilet seat device 12 (the toilet seat main body 12a) and temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b. The biometric information is owned and authenticated by the user P and is output to the portable terminal device 20 having the biometric information analysis unit 21a. Thereby, the biological information (various information (various data) obtained from the excrement of the user P is analyzed by the biological information analysis unit 21 a provided in the portable terminal device 20 owned by the user P and excellent in versatility. Therefore, the configuration of the toilet seat system 10 can be simplified as compared with the case where an analysis unit that analyzes biological information is provided on the side of the toilet seat device 12 (the toilet seat main body 12a). Further, the temporary storage unit 13b only temporarily stores biological information (various types of information (various data)), so there is no need to have a large storage capacity, which also simplifies the configuration of the toilet seat system 10. be able to.

  Furthermore, the controller 13a causes the output unit 13c to output the biometric information (various types of information (various data)) to the portable terminal device 20, and then temporarily stores the biometric information (various types of user P) in the temporary storage unit 13b. Information (various data) can be erased. That is, the biometric information (various pieces of information (various data) of the user P exists only in the portable terminal device 20 owned by the user P by the output process being executed, and the toilet process is executed by the erasing process being executed. It does not exist in the temporary storage unit 13 b installed in the room T, especially in the public toilet room T. Thus, when another user uses the toilet seat system 10, the previous user P's biometric information (various information (various data)) is not stored in the temporary storage unit 13b. Confidentiality of the biometric information (various information (various data)) corresponding to the personal information of the user P who can not inspect the biometric information (various information (various data)) of the previous user P. Can be secured enough.

  In these cases, the controller 13a performs the output process of the output unit 13c (step S14), and after the seating sensor 15 detects the end of the excretion of the user P (step S13), the temporary storage unit 13b. The deletion process of the biological information temporarily stored in the memory is executed (step S16).

  According to this, after the controller 13a outputs all the biological information (various pieces of information (various data)) to the portable terminal device 20 owned by the user P by the output unit 13c until the user P ends the excretion. The biological information (various pieces of information (various data)) temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13 b can be reliably erased. Therefore, biological information (various information (various data)) corresponding to personal information of the user P can be effectively used, and secrecy of the vital information (various information (various data)) can be reliably and sufficiently It can be secured.

  Further, in these cases, the output unit 13 c outputs the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13 b to the portable terminal device 20 using near field communication established with the portable terminal device 20. Do.

  According to this, the output unit 13c and the portable terminal device 20 can transmit and receive the biometric information of the user P using short distance wireless communication in which communication is established in an extremely short distance. Thus, for example, biometric information (various types of information (various data)) of the user P is transmitted to portable terminal devices owned by other users who use the restroom T (public restroom T). It is possible to appropriately prevent that another user is intentionally transmitted by crossroads or the user P's biometric information (various pieces of information (various pieces of data)) is intentionally exploited. Therefore, the confidentiality of the biometric information (various types of information (various data)) corresponding to the personal information of the user P can be reliably and sufficiently ensured.

  In addition, the output unit 13c can output biological information (various types of information (various data)) only to the mobile terminal device 20 that has been previously authenticated by the user P. For this reason, the user P does not have to perform registration for identifying (authenticate) the user P in advance with respect to the control device 13 on the side of the toilet seat device 12 (the toilet seat main body 12a). Information (various types of information (various types of data)) can be acquired. In addition, since it is not necessary to provide a function for identifying (authenticating) the user P on the side of the toilet seat device 12 (the toilet seat main body 12a), the configuration of the toilet seat system 10 can be simplified.

  Furthermore, the user P uses the portable terminal device 20 even when using, for example, a toilet seat system 10 (toilet seat device 12) of a different maker, by using a near-field wireless communication standardized in advance. Thus, biological information (various pieces of information (various data)) can be easily acquired. Therefore, it is possible to obtain biological information (various types of information (various data)) from the toilet seat device 12 (the toilet seat main body 12a) installed in the toilet room T at home, as well as being installed in the public restroom T in a public place. Biometric information (various types of information (various data)) can be acquired from the toilet seat device 12 (plural seat body 12a) in a state where confidentiality is appropriately secured. Therefore, the biological information analysis unit 21a of the portable terminal device 20 can continuously acquire and analyze the biological information (various information (various data) of the user P, and the convenience of the user P is greatly enhanced. Can be improved.

  In these cases, the portable terminal device 20 uses the near field communication unit 22 as a biological information acquisition unit for acquiring the biological information output from the output unit 13c, and the analysis result by the biological information analysis unit 21a. And a display unit 24 as an information presentation unit that presents health promotion information for promoting health to the user P.

  According to this, it is possible to present the user P with health promotion information (for example, information notifying a feeling of lack of exercise, a feeling of constipation, etc.) from the portable terminal device 20 owned by the user P. Therefore, the user P can check the health promotion information related to his / her health extremely easily at any time, and can obtain good convenience.

  Further, in these cases, the portable terminal device 20 has the external communication unit 25 capable of communicating with the outside (for example, a server etc.), communicates with the outside via the external communication unit 25, and receives the health condition item The analysis method by the biological information analysis unit 21a can be changed.

  According to this, the user P can communicate with the outside using the external communication unit 25 of the portable terminal device 20. For example, the health condition item necessary for the user P can be arbitrarily set, or the biological information analysis can be performed. The analysis method used by the unit 21a can be updated or added to the latest analysis method. Thereby, the living body information analysis unit 21a can analyze living body information (various information (various data)) with flexibility, and uses the analysis result according to the needs of the user P as health promotion information Can be presented to the person P.

  In these cases, the living body information analysis unit 21a can analyze the health condition item by comparing the living body information with the intake information indicating the calorie or intake consumed by the user P by eating and drinking. In this case, the intake information is image information of the food or drink taken by the imaging function of the camera unit 27 provided in the portable terminal device 20, identifier information indicating the calorie or amount of the food or food read by the imaging function, Text information representing the contents of food and drink input by the user P from the input unit 28 of the portable terminal device 20 and payment information of food and beverage settled by the settlement function of the settlement unit 29 provided in the portable terminal device 20 It can be at least two of them.

  According to these, the living body information analysis unit 21a can present the health promotion information according to the daily life of the user P via the display unit 24. Therefore, the biological information analysis unit 21a can provide health promotion information useful for the user P.

(Various data) That is, biological information is erased. Therefore, also in this first modification, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

(Second modification)
In the embodiment and the first modification, the output unit 13 c outputs (transmits) the biological information through the short distance wireless communication unit 22 of the portable terminal device 20 by the short distance wireless communication. By the way, as shown in the said 1st modification, the remote control 17 installed in the toilet room T (public toilet room T) may have liquid crystal display part 17a, as shown in FIG. As described above, when the remote control 17 includes the liquid crystal display unit 17a, the output unit 13c outputs an identifier representing the biological information to the liquid crystal display unit 17a instead of outputting (transmitting) the biological information by near field communication. It is also possible to output and display the information, and the camera unit 27 of the mobile terminal device 20 acquires biological information by imaging the identifier.

  In this case, the controller 13a temporarily stores various information (various data) detected by the sensor group 16 in the temporary storage unit 13b, as in the embodiment and the first modification. Then, the controller 13a sets various information (various data) temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b, that is, biological information as an identifier that can be identified by the control unit 21 of the portable terminal device 20 using a known method. For example, it converts into a QR code (registered trademark) or a barcode. The controller 13a instructs the output unit 13c to display the QR code (registered trademark) or the bar code obtained by converting the biological information on the liquid crystal display unit 17a of the remote control 17.

  As a result, as shown in FIG. 7, the output unit 13c causes the liquid crystal display unit 17a of the remote controller 17 to display an identifier (in FIG. 7, a QR code (registered trademark)). In this case, the output unit 13c can, for example, generate a notification sound or display a message on the liquid crystal display unit 17a in order to notify the user P that the liquid crystal display unit 17a displays the identifier. .

  The user P reads the image by capturing a QR code (registered trademark) displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 17 a of the remote control 17 using the camera unit 27 of the mobile terminal device 20. Thereby, the control unit 21 of the portable terminal device 20 converts the QR code (registered trademark) captured by the camera unit 27 into biological information, that is, various information (various data), and converts the biological information, that is, various information (various data) Are stored in the storage unit 23.

  Also in the second modification, as in the above embodiment, the controller 13a of the control device 13 temporarily stores various information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b after the user P leaves the toilet seat 12b. (Various data) That is, biological information is erased. Thereby, also in this second modification, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

  As described above, in the second modification, the output unit 13 c of the control device 13 uses the display of a QR code (registered trademark) or a bar code, which is an identifier representing biological information distinguishable by the portable terminal device 20. The biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13 b can be output to the mobile terminal device 20. And in this 2nd modification, a living body information acquisition part of personal digital assistant device 20 turns into camera part 27. Therefore, also in this second modification, the biometric information of the user P is reliably output only to the portable terminal device 20 owned by the user P in a state where the confidentiality is sufficiently secured. It goes without saying that the identifier displayed on the liquid crystal display unit 17a is erased, for example, along with the erasure of the biological information.

(Third modification)
In the above embodiment and the above modifications, the controller 13a executes the living body information output program shown in FIG. The biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b is output processed, and the biological information stored in the temporary storage unit 13b is deleted after the user P leaves the toilet seat 12b. Instead of this, as shown in FIG. 8, whether step S11 and step S13 in the living body information output program of FIG. Alternatively, after the controller 13a outputs the biological information, the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b can be deleted.

  In the third modification, as shown in FIG. 8, the controller 13a starts the execution of the biological information output program in step S100, and in step S110, the living body of the user P as in step S12. Information (various pieces of information (various data)) is acquired, and biological information (various pieces of information (various data)) is temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b. In the subsequent step S120, the controller 13a terminates acquisition of the biological information and terminates storage of the biological information (various information (various data)) in the temporary storage unit 13b, as in step S15, and step S130. Go to

  In step S130, the controller 13a transmits the biological information of the user P temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b to the portable terminal device 20 or the liquid crystal display unit 17a of the remote controller 17 as in step S14. The QR code (registered trademark) is displayed on and output processed. Then, in the subsequent step S140, the controller 13a erases the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b after the output process of the biological information by the output unit 13c as in the case of step S16.

  Thus, for example, when individual information (data) is sequentially acquired from each sensor of the sensor group 16, the controller 13a performs an erasing process each time the acquired individual information (data) is sequentially output processed. Can. Therefore, also in this third modification, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment and each of the above-described modifications can be obtained.

  The embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the above-described modifications, and various modifications can be made without departing from the object of the present invention.

  For example, in the embodiment, the first modified example, and the second modified example, more specifically, after the user P leaves the seat 12 b of the seat device 12, the controller 13 a separates from the seating sensor 15. After the seat signal is input, the controller 13a erases various information (various data) temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b, that is, biological information. In this case, in the short distance wireless communication between the output unit 13c and the short distance wireless communication unit 22, when the control unit 21 of the portable terminal device 20 completes the obtainment of biological information, an acquisition completion indicating that the acquisition is completed It is also possible to output information to the controller 13 a of the control device 13. Thereby, the controller 13a adds the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b after acquiring the acquisition completion information in addition to or in place of whether or not the user P has left the toilet seat 12b. It becomes possible to erase reliably. Therefore, also in this case, it is possible to obtain the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment and the above-described modifications, and to prevent output (transmission) leakage of the biological information to the portable terminal device 20 to effectively use the biological information. it can.

  In the embodiment, the first modified example, and the second modified example, the seating sensor 15 is used as an excrement detection device for detecting whether the user P excretes excrement in the stool type toilet bowl 11 or not. I used it. Then, the controller 13a inputs the seating signal from the seating sensor 15, and thereafter determines that the user P is excreting until the separation signal is input. That is, in the above-described embodiment and the above-described modifications, it is assumed that the user P is seated on the toilet seat 12 b of the toilet seat device 12.

  By the way, when the user P is a male in particular, it is possible to excrete urine while standing in front of the seat-type toilet bowl 11 (the toilet seat device 12). In this case, the seating sensor 15 can emit light or sound, for example. Therefore, the seating sensor 15 detects the light and the sound wave reflected from the user P who stood in front of the seat-type toilet bowl 11 (the toilet seat device 12), the user P in the standing state sits in the seat-type toilet bowl 11 (the toilet seat It is also possible to detect whether or not it is located in front of the device 12), ie the status of urination.

  As a result, when the user P stands up and uses the seat-type toilet 11 to excrete urinals, a signal corresponding to a seating signal is output from the seating sensor 15 to the controller 13a. Similar to the embodiment and the above modifications, the biometric information of the user P can be detected and output to the portable terminal device 20. And when the user P ends excretion and leaves from the front of the seat-type toilet bowl 11 (toilet device 12), a signal corresponding to a seat-off signal is outputted from the seating sensor 15 to the controller 13a. In the same manner as in the above-described embodiment and the above-described modifications, the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13 b can be erased. Therefore, also in this case, the same effects as those of the embodiment and the modifications described above can be obtained.

  Further, in the embodiment, the first modified example and the second modified example, the seating sensor 15 provided on the toilet seat main body 12a of the toilet seat device 12 is used as the excretion state detecting device. Instead of this, for example, it is also possible to detect the excretion state of the user P using a human sensor or a camera installed in the toilet room T (public toilet room T) and connected to the controller 13a.

  Further, in each of the above-described modifications, the control device 13 is provided to the toilet seat device 12 (more specifically, the inside of the casing of the toilet seat body 12a). Instead of this, the control device 13 can be provided inside the remote control 17.

  Further, in the embodiment, the first modified example, and the second modified example, the controller 13a erases the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b after acquiring the seat departure information from the seating sensor 15. It was made to do. Instead of or in addition to this, after the controller 13a inputs, for example, a signal indicating that the operation switch for operating the nozzle device 14 has been pressed by the user P, excretion from the stool type toilet bowl 11 It is also possible to delete the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b after the operation of pouring out the material is performed. As a result, for example, even if the seating sensor 15 has a failure and the controller 13a can not properly acquire the departure information, the biological information temporarily stored in the temporary storage unit 13b can be reliably erased. it can. Therefore, the secrecy of the biological information which is personal information can be more reliably and sufficiently ensured.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment and the above-described modifications, the control unit 21 of the mobile terminal device 20 includes the biological information analysis unit 21a and analyzes the biological information. Instead, various information (various data) stored in the storage unit 23, that is, biological information stored in the storage unit 23 is transmitted to an externally provided server via the external communication unit 25, and the server analyzes the biological information. It is also possible. Then, in this case, the external server analyzes the biological information on the health condition item of the user P and transmits the analysis result to the portable terminal device 20, as in the above embodiment and the above variations. Can. Therefore, also in this case, the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment and the above-described modifications can be expected. In addition, when the portable terminal device 20 communicates with an external server via the external communication unit 25, the confidentiality of the biometric information of the user P is sufficiently ensured by the portable terminal device 20 and the server mutually authenticating each other.
