The washing machine of Patent Literature 1 is configured such that remote control by a portable terminal can be performed from outside the house only when the user presses and sets a reservation standby button of the washing machine.

JP 2004-350930 A

  The washing machine may be configured to execute a plurality of operations. In this case, reservation setting of one operation (first operation) among the plurality of operations may be performed. Further, the set driving reservation may be changed. That is, the setting may be changed from the set reservation of the first operation to the reservation of the second operation different from the first operation. Further, the reservation may be changed by remote control from a portable terminal capable of communicating with the washing machine. When such a reservation change is made, inconvenience may occur.

  For example, first, it is assumed that a reservation setting of an operation (first operation) requiring only a small amount of detergent is performed. Thereafter, it is assumed that the setting has been changed from the set reservation for the first operation to a reservation for an operation (second operation) requiring a large amount of detergent. In this case, since the detergent is insufficient in the second operation after the reservation is changed, good washing cannot be performed by the washing machine. Also, it is assumed that, contrary to this case, the reservation setting of the operation (first operation) that requires a large amount of detergent is performed first. Thereafter, it is assumed that the setting has been changed from the set reservation for the first operation to a reservation for an operation (second operation) requiring only a small amount of detergent. In this case, since the detergent is exceeded in the second operation after the reservation change, bubbles generated by the excess detergent may overflow the washing machine. Furthermore, when a reservation is changed by remote control from a portable terminal that can communicate with the washing machine, no user is present near the washing machine, so it is not possible to immediately respond to the inconvenience caused by the change in reservation. Therefore, the present specification provides a technique capable of notifying a user that a change in reservation may cause inconvenience.

  The clothing processing device disclosed in this specification can communicate with a portable terminal. The clothing processing apparatus includes a first operation unit that receives a reservation setting of a clothing processing operation, and executes a first clothing processing operation and a second clothing processing operation having different operating conditions from the first clothing processing operation. It is possible. The portable terminal includes a second operation unit that receives a reservation change of the clothing processing operation of the clothing processing apparatus, and a display unit. The display unit of the mobile terminal may be configured such that the first operation unit of the clothing processing device receives a reservation setting of the first clothing processing operation, and the second operation unit of the mobile terminal performs the first operation. When a reservation change from the reservation of the clothing processing operation to the reservation of the second clothing processing operation is received, the change from the reservation of the first clothing processing operation to the reservation of the second clothing processing operation is performed based on a predetermined condition. If it is determined that is inappropriate, alert information is displayed.

  Next, an operation performed by the washer / dryer 10 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the washing / drying machine 10 is configured to be able to execute, for example, a washing operation, a drying operation, and a washing / drying operation. The washing operation is an operation for washing clothes housed in the rotating tub 15. The drying operation is an operation for drying the clothes stored in the rotating tub 15. The washing and drying operation is an operation that executes both the washing operation and the drying operation.

  The washing / drying machine 10 is configured to be able to execute a plurality of course operations in each of the washing operation, the drying operation, and the washing / drying operation. For example, the washing / drying machine 10 can execute a standard course operation, a speed course operation, a turn-on course operation, and the like in the washing operation and the washing / drying operation.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the standard course operation of the washing and drying operation, for example, a washing step for 14 minutes, a rinsing step twice, a dehydration step for 5 minutes, and a drying step for 80 to 285 minutes depending on the weight of clothes. The process is performed. In the speed course operation of the washing and drying operation, a washing step of 8 to 9 minutes according to the weight of the clothes, a single rinsing step, a dehydration step of 5 minutes, and a drying step of 55 to 220 minutes according to the weight of the clothes.

In addition, in the soaking course operation of the washing and drying operation, a washing step of 6 hours including a soaking time, a rinsing step of 4 times, a dehydration step of 5 minutes, and a drying of 80 to 195 minutes depending on the weight of clothes. The process is performed. The plurality of operations that can be performed by the washer / dryer 10 have different operating conditions. For example, in the standard course operation, two rinsing steps are executed, whereas in the speed course operation, only one rinsing step is executed.

  As shown in FIG. 5, in the standard course operation and the speed course operation, for example, 1.1 to 1 cup of detergent is recommended for clothes of 9 to 11 kg. The recommended amount of detergent for standard course operation and speed course operation is the same. On the other hand, in the additional course driving, for example, 2.0 cups of detergent are recommended for 9 to 11 kg of clothing. The recommended amount of detergent for the regular course operation is different from the recommended detergent amount for the standard course operation and the speed course operation.

(Reservation setting processing)
Next, processing performed by the clothing processing system 1 will be described. In the clothing processing system 1, first, the control unit 11 of the washing and drying machine 10 displays a predetermined first operation selection screen S1 on the display unit 12, as shown in FIG. The first operation selection screen S1 is a screen from which a washing operation, a drying operation, and a washing / drying operation can be selected. The user of the washing / drying machine 10 selects one of the washing operation, the drying operation, and the washing / drying operation displayed on the first operation selection screen S1. The user of the washer / dryer 10 selects one of the operations by touching the operation unit 13 configured as a touch panel. For example, the user of the washing / drying machine 10 selects the washing / drying operation.

  Subsequently, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 displays a predetermined second operation selection screen S2 on the display unit 12, as shown in FIG. The second operation selection screen S2 is a screen from which a plurality of course operations can be selected. The second operation selection screen S2 is, for example, a screen from which a standard course operation, a turn-on course operation, a speed course operation, and the like can be selected. The user of the washer / dryer 10 selects any one of the standard course operation, the turn-on course operation, the speed course operation, and the like displayed on the second operation selection screen S2. The user of the washer / dryer 10 selects one of the operations by touching the operation unit 13 configured as a touch panel. For example, the user of the washer / dryer 10 selects the standard course operation.

  Subsequently, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 displays a predetermined reservation setting screen S3 on the display unit 12, as shown in FIG. The reservation setting screen S3 is a screen for receiving a reservation setting for an operation performed by the washer / dryer 10. The user of the washer / dryer 10 selects one of a plurality of reservation methods (for example, reservation for good morning, reservation for return, and driving from outside) displayed on the reservation setting screen S3. The user of the washer / dryer 10 selects one of the reservation methods by touching the operation unit 13 configured as a touch panel. For example, the user of the washing / drying machine 10 selects “drive from outside” displayed on the reservation setting screen S3. “Driving from the outside” is a reservation method for receiving a reservation change from the portable terminal 30 described later. Further, on the reservation setting screen S3, the setting of the scheduled end time can also be accepted. The operation unit 13 of the washing and drying machine 10 receives a reservation setting operation by the user of the washing and drying machine 10.

  When the operation unit 13 receives a reservation setting operation by the user, the reservation setting information is transmitted from the operation unit 13 to the control unit 11. For example, when the user of the washer / dryer 10 selects the washing / drying operation on the first operation selection screen S1 shown in FIG. 6 and selects the standard course operation on the second operation selection screen S2 shown in FIG. Reservation setting information indicating that the standard course operation of the washing and drying operation has been reserved is transmitted from the operation unit 13 to the control unit 11.

  Next, a reservation setting process executed by the clothing processing system 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, in S11 of the reservation setting process, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether or not the reservation setting information has been acquired. If the control unit 11 has obtained the reservation setting information (YES in S11), the process proceeds to S12. As described above, when the operation unit 13 receives the reservation setting operation, the reservation setting information is transmitted from the operation unit 13 to the control unit 11. In this case, the control unit 11 determines YES in S11. On the other hand, when not acquiring the reservation setting information, the control unit 11 determines NO in S11 and stands by.

  At S12, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 makes a reservation setting. The control unit 11 performs reservation setting based on the reservation setting information acquired in S11. For example, the control unit 11 makes a reservation setting so that the washing and drying machine 10 executes the standard course operation of the washing and drying operation. Thereafter, when the processing of S12 ends, the reservation setting processing ends.

  When the reservation is set in S12, the washing / drying machine 10 executes the reserved operation unless the reservation is changed thereafter. For example, when a predetermined time has come, the washing / drying machine 10 executes the standard course operation of the washing / drying operation.

(Reservation change processing)
In the clothing processing system 1 described above, there is a case where the user of the washer / dryer 10 desires to change the set reservation after the above-described reservation setting processing is completed. For example, it is conceivable that the user of the washing / drying machine 10 desires to change the reservation to the reservation of the speed course operation or the preparatory course operation after the reservation of the standard course operation of the washing and drying operation is set.

  In the above-described clothing processing system 1, the control unit 31 of the portable terminal 30 displays a predetermined reservation change screen S4 on the display unit 32 as shown in FIG. The control unit 31 displays the reservation change screen S4, for example, when the user operates the mobile terminal 30 after the above-described reservation setting process ends. The reservation change screen S4 is a screen from which a washing operation and a washing / drying operation can be selected. Although not shown, the drying operation may be selectable on the reservation change screen S4. The reservation change screen S4 is a screen from which a plurality of course operations can be selected. The reservation change screen S4 is a screen from which, for example, a standard course operation, an additional course operation (not shown in FIG. 10), a speed course operation (not shown in FIG. 10) and the like can be selected. The user of the washing / drying machine 10 selects one of the washing operation and the washing / drying operation displayed on the reservation change screen S4. In addition, the user of the washer / dryer 10 performs one of the standard course operation, the additional course operation (not shown in FIG. 10), and the speed course operation (not shown in FIG. 10) displayed on the reservation change screen S4. select. The user of the washer / dryer 10 selects one of the operations by touching the operation unit 13 configured as a touch panel.

  The user of the washer / dryer 10 selects an operation different from the operation reserved in the above-described reservation setting process on the reservation change screen S4 shown in FIG. For example, when the user of the washer / dryer 10 has set a reservation for the standard course operation of the washer / dryer operation, and wants to change the reservation to a reservation for the speed course operation of the washer / dryer operation, the user can change the speed of the washer / dryer operation. Select course driving. Alternatively, when the user of the washing / drying machine 10 wants to change to the reservation of the extra-course course operation of the laundry / drying operation, the user selects the extra-course operation of the laundry / drying operation.

  The user of the washer / dryer 10 touches the reservation confirmation button B1 after selecting a new operation on the reservation change screen S4 shown in FIG. Then, the operation unit 33 of the mobile terminal 30 accepts a reservation change operation by the user. When the operation unit 33 receives a reservation change operation by the user, the reservation change information is transmitted from the operation unit 33 to the control unit 31. For example, when the user of the washer / dryer 10 selects the speed course operation of the washing / drying operation on the reservation change screen S4 shown in FIG. 10, the reservation change indicating that the operation has been changed to the reservation of the speed course operation of the washing / drying operation. Information is transmitted from the operation unit 33 to the control unit 31. The control unit 31 of the portable terminal 30 transmits the reservation change information to the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 via the network 50.

  Next, the reservation change processing executed by the clothing processing system 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 11, in S21 of the reservation change process, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether or not the reservation change information has been acquired. If the control unit 11 has obtained the reservation change information (YES in S21), the process proceeds to S22. As described above, when the operation unit 33 of the portable terminal 30 receives the reservation change operation, the reservation change information is transmitted from the control unit 31 of the portable terminal 30 to the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10. In this case, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines YES in S21. On the other hand, when the control unit 11 does not acquire the reservation change information, it determines NO in S21 and stands by.

  In S22, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether or not the recommended amount of the detergent before and after the reservation change is the same. For example, consider a case where the reservation for the standard course operation for the washing and drying operation is changed to the reservation for the speed course operation. That is, it is assumed that the operation before the reservation change is the standard course operation and the operation after the reservation change is the speed course operation. As shown in FIG. 5, the recommended amount of detergent is the same in the standard course operation and the speed course operation of the washing and drying operation. In this case, the control unit 11 determines YES in S22 and proceeds to S23.

  On the other hand, for example, let us consider a case where the reservation is changed from the reservation of the standard course operation of the washing and drying operation to the reservation of the additional course operation. That is, it is assumed that the operation before the reservation change is the standard course operation and the operation after the reservation change is the additional course operation. As shown in FIG. 5, the recommended amount of detergent differs between the standard course operation of the washing and drying operation and the turn-on course operation. In this case, the control unit 11 determines NO in S22 and proceeds to S31.

  In S23 after YES is determined in S22, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines that the reservation can be changed. In subsequent S24, the control unit 11 transmits the changeable information to the mobile terminal 30. The changeable information is, for example, information indicating that the state can be changed from the reservation for the standard course operation to the reservation for the speed course operation.

  In S25, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 changes the set reservation. For example, when the reservation of the standard course operation of the washing and drying operation is set, the control unit 11 changes the reservation to the reservation of the speed course operation. In S26, the control unit 11 executes the operation process of the washing / drying machine 10 based on the settings after the reservation change. Therefore, the washer / dryer 10 executes the operation after the reservation change. For example, when a predetermined time has come, the washing / drying machine 10 executes the speed course operation after the reservation change. Thereafter, when the processing of S26 ends, the reservation setting processing ends.

  On the other hand, in S31 after NO is determined in S22, the control unit 11 of the washing and drying machine 10 determines that the reservation change is inappropriate. In subsequent S32, the control unit 11 transmits the inappropriate change information to the mobile terminal 30. The change inappropriate information is, for example, information indicating that the state cannot be changed from the reservation for the standard course operation to the reservation for the course operation. Thereafter, when the process of S32 ends, the reservation setting process ends.

(Display processing)
Next, a display process performed by the clothing processing system 1 will be described. As shown in FIG. 12, in S41 of the display process, the control unit 31 of the portable terminal 30 determines whether or not changeable information or improper change information has been acquired. When the control unit 31 has obtained changeable information or inappropriate change information (YES in S41), the process proceeds to S42. As described above, when the reservation of the operation of the washer / dryer 10 can be changed (S23), changeable information is transmitted from the washer / dryer 10 to the portable terminal 30 (S24). If the reservation change is inappropriate (S31), the improper change information is transmitted from the washing / drying machine 10 to the portable terminal 30 (S32). In these cases, the control unit 31 of the mobile terminal 30 determines YES in S41. On the other hand, when the control unit 31 of the mobile terminal 30 does not acquire the changeable information or the inappropriate change information, it determines NO in S41 and stands by.

  In S42, the control unit 31 of the mobile terminal 30 determines whether the information acquired in S41 is changeable information. If the information acquired in S41 is changeable information, the control unit 31 determines YES in S42 and proceeds to S43. On the other hand, if the information acquired in S41 is not changeable information (that is, the information acquired in S41 is inappropriate change information), the control unit 31 determines NO in S42 and proceeds to S51.

  In S43 after YES is determined in S42, the control unit 31 of the portable terminal 30 displays the changeable information on the display unit 32. The control unit 31 displays, on the display unit 32, information indicating that, for example, it is possible to change from the reservation of the standard course operation of the washing and drying operation to the reservation of the speed course operation.

  On the other hand, in S51 after NO is determined in S42, the control unit 31 of the portable terminal 30 displays the alert information on the display unit 32. The control unit 31 displays a predetermined alert screen S5 on the display unit 32, as shown in FIG. The alert screen S5 is a screen for notifying the user of alert information. The alert information is information for notifying that inconvenience may occur if the reservation is changed. The alert information is, for example, information indicating that when the reservation is changed from the reservation for the standard course driving to the reservation for the course driving, the recommended detergent amount is different, and the effect may not be sufficiently obtained. . The alert information is information for confirming whether or not the user approves the reservation change. Thereafter, when the processing of S43 or S51 ends, the reservation setting processing ends.

  The user of the washer / dryer 10 touches the enter button B2 when he / she wants to change the driving reservation while viewing the alerting screen S5 (see FIG. 13) displayed on the display unit 32 of the portable terminal 30. Then, the operation unit 33 of the mobile terminal 30 accepts a change approval operation by the user. When the operation unit 33 receives a change approval operation by the user, the change approval information is transmitted from the operation unit 33 to the control unit 31. The control unit 31 of the portable terminal 30 transmits the change approval information to the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 via the network 50. Upon receiving the change approval information, the control unit 11 of the washer / dryer 10 determines that the driving reservation can be changed. Even if it is determined in S31 shown in FIG. 11 that the reservation change is inappropriate, the control unit 11 determines that the reservation change is possible when the change approval information is received. On the other hand, the user of the washer / dryer 10 touches the cancel button B3 displayed on the display unit 32 when not changing the driving reservation. Then, the driving reservation change is not executed.

  The clothing processing system 1 according to the first embodiment has been described above. As is clear from the above description, the clothes processing system 1 includes the washing and drying machine 10 and the portable terminal 30 that can communicate with the washing and drying machine 10. The washing / drying machine 10 includes an operation unit 13 that receives a reservation setting. The washer / dryer 10 is configured to be able to execute, for example, a standard course operation, a speed course operation, and a turn-on course operation of a washing / drying operation. The mobile terminal 30 includes an operation unit 33 that receives a reservation change and a display unit 32. In the clothing processing system 1, for example, the operation unit 13 of the washing / drying machine 10 receives the reservation setting of the standard course operation of the washing / drying operation, and the operation unit 33 of the portable terminal 30 sets the reservation of the standard course operation. If you accept a change in reservation to make a reservation for course driving, you can change from a reservation for standard course driving to a reservation for course driving based on the recommended amount of detergent before and after the reservation change. It is determined whether or not there is. When it is determined that the reservation change is inappropriate (NO in S22 of FIG. 11, see S31 and S32), the display unit 32 of the portable terminal 30 displays the alert information (YES in S41 of FIG. 12, NO in S42, S51, see FIG. 13).

  According to this configuration, for example, the recommended amount of detergent is small in the standard course operation before changing the reservation, and the recommended amount of detergent is large in the regular course operation after changing the reservation. 30 is displayed on the display unit 32. This allows the user to be notified of the alert information even when the amount of the detergent is insufficient during the additional course driving after the reservation change. In addition, for example, if the operation before the reservation change is the preparatory course operation and the operation after the reservation change is the standard course operation, the detergent will be exceeded in the standard course operation after the reservation change, but such a case. Even if the user is in an unusual state, the user can be notified of the alert information. Therefore, it is possible to notify the user that the reservation change may cause inconvenience.

  Further, in the above-described garment processing system 1, for example, it is determined that a change from the reservation for the standard course operation to the reservation for the speed course operation is possible based on the recommended amount of detergent before and after the change in reservation. In such a case, the washing / drying machine 10 executes a process based on the change. For example, since the amount of detergent recommended in the speed course operation after the reservation change is the same as the amount of detergent recommended in the standard course operation before the reservation change, the washing / drying machine 10 performs the speed course operation after the reservation change. Execute. According to this configuration, it is possible to execute the operation after the reservation change when the possibility of the inconvenience caused by the reservation change is low.

(Correspondence)
The standard course operation of the washing and drying operation described above is an example of the “first clothing processing operation”. The speed course operation of the washing and drying operation is an example of the “second clothing processing operation”. The additional course operation of the washing and drying operation is another example of the “second clothing processing operation”. The recommended amount of detergent before and after the reservation change is an example of the “predetermined condition”.

  As mentioned above, although one Example was described, the specific aspect is not limited to the said Example. In the following description, the same components as those in the above description are denoted by the same reference numerals, and description thereof will be omitted.

(Second embodiment)
In the first embodiment, in S22 shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether or not the recommended amount of detergent before and after the reservation change is the same. It is not limited to this configuration. In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 14, the control unit 11 of the washing and drying machine 10 may execute the processing of S122 instead of S22.

  In S122, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether or not the recommended detergent quality before and after the reservation change (another example of the predetermined condition) is the same. For example, consider a case where the reservation for the standard course operation for the washing and drying operation is changed to the reservation for the speed course operation. That is, it is assumed that the operation before the reservation change is the standard course operation and the operation after the reservation change is the speed course operation. In the standard course operation, for example, it is assumed that a powder detergent is recommended. In the speed course operation, for example, it is assumed that a liquid detergent is recommended. In this case, since the recommended detergent quality before and after the reservation change is not the same, the control unit 11 determines NO in S122 and proceeds to S31. On the other hand, if the recommended detergent quality before and after the reservation change is the same, the control unit 11 determines YES in S122 and proceeds to S23.

  In S23 after YES is determined in S122, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines that the reservation of the operation can be changed. On the other hand, in S31 after NO is determined in S122, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines that the change of the reservation of the driving is inappropriate. According to this configuration, similarly to the above-described first embodiment, it is possible to notify the user that there is a possibility that the reservation change may cause inconvenience. Note that, even if there is a possibility that inconvenience may occur, when a user approves a change approval operation, a driving reservation change is executed.

(Third embodiment)
In the first embodiment, in S22 shown in FIG. 11, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether or not the recommended amount of detergent before and after the reservation change is the same. It is not limited to this configuration. In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 15, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 may execute the processing of S222 instead of S22.

  In S222, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether the scheduled operation end time (another example of the predetermined condition) before and after the reservation change is the same. As shown in FIG. 16, for example, it is assumed that the required time is 80 minutes in the standard course operation of the washing operation. In addition, it is assumed that the required time is 80 minutes even in the washing course driving. In this state, for example, it is assumed that the reservation is changed from the reservation of the standard course operation of the washing operation to the reservation of the good night course operation. That is, it is assumed that the operation before the reservation change is the standard course operation and the operation after the reservation change is the good-night course operation. In this case, since the scheduled end time of the operation before and after the reservation change is the same, the control unit 11 determines YES in S222 and proceeds to S23. On the other hand, if the scheduled operation end times before and after the reservation change are not the same, the control unit 11 determines NO in S222 and proceeds to S31. For example, when the operation before the reservation change is the standard course operation and the operation after the reservation change is the careful course operation (see FIG. 16), the control unit 11 determines NO in S222.

  In S23 after YES is determined in S222, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines that the reservation of the operation can be changed. On the other hand, in S31 after NO is determined in S222, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines that the change of the reservation of the operation is inappropriate. According to this configuration, similarly to the above-described first embodiment, it is possible to notify the user that there is a possibility that the reservation change may cause inconvenience. Note that, even if there is a possibility that inconvenience may occur, when a user approves a change approval operation, a driving reservation change is executed.

(Fourth embodiment)
In the above-described first embodiment, the process of S22 shown in FIG. 11 is executed, in the second embodiment, the process of S122 shown in FIG. 14 is executed, and in the third embodiment, the process of S222 shown in FIG. 15 is executed. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. In the fourth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 17, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 executes all of the processes of S22, S122, and S222. If the control unit 11 determines YES in all of the processing of S22, S122, and S222, it determines that the reservation can be changed in S23.

  In still another embodiment, the control unit 11 of the washer / dryer 10 may be configured to execute any two of the processes of S22, S122, and S222 shown in FIG. 17 (not shown).

(Fifth embodiment)
A clothing processing system 1 according to a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the clothing processing system 1 according to the fifth embodiment, an operation condition setting process is executed as shown in FIG. In S61 of the operating condition setting process, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether the reservation has been changed. For example, when the control unit 11 changes the reservation in S25 shown in FIGS. 11, 14, 15, and 17, this corresponds to the case where the reservation is changed. YES is determined and the process proceeds to S62. On the other hand, if the reservation is not changed, the control unit 11 determines NO in S61 and ends the operating condition setting process.

  In S62, the control unit 11 determines whether there is a driving condition set by the user. The operating conditions set by the user are operating conditions set by the user of the washing / drying machine 10. As shown in FIG. 4, for example, in the speed course operation of the washing and drying operation, one rinsing step is executed by default at the time of shipment from the manufacturer. The user of the washer / dryer 10 can change the operating conditions so that, for example, the rinsing process is performed twice instead of once in the speed course operation. The user of the washer / dryer 10 can change from the default operating conditions at the time of shipment from the manufacturer to the operating conditions set by the user. The washing / drying machine 10 is configured such that operating conditions can be changed in each of the plurality of operations shown in FIG. The operating conditions set by the user are stored in the memory 22 of the control unit 11. If there is a user-set operating condition stored in the memory 22 for the operation after the reservation change, the control unit 11 determines YES in S62 and proceeds to S63. For example, when the operation after the reservation change is the speed course operation and the operating condition for executing the two rinsing steps is stored in the memory 22, the control unit 11 determines YES in S62. . On the other hand, when the operating condition set by the user is not stored in the memory 22, the control unit 11 determines NO in S62 and proceeds to S64.

  In S63 after YES is determined in S62, the control unit 11 sets the user-set operating conditions stored in the memory 22. For example, the control unit 11 sets operating conditions such that two rinsing steps are performed when the speed course operation of the washing and drying operation is performed.

  On the other hand, in S64 after NO is determined in S62, the control unit 11 sets operating conditions set by the manufacturer. The operating conditions set by the manufacturer are the operating conditions set by the manufacturer of the washer / dryer 10. The operating conditions set by the manufacturer are the operating conditions set by default at the time of shipment from the manufacturer. For example, in the speed course operation of the washing and drying operation, the operating condition under which one rinsing step is performed is the operating condition set by the manufacturer. Thereafter, when the processing of S63 or S64 ends, the operation condition setting processing ends.

  When the operation condition set by the user is set in the above S63, the control unit 11 of the washer / dryer 10 executes the processing of S26 shown in FIG. Is performed. Therefore, the washer / dryer 10 performs an operation according to the operation conditions set by the user. For example, the washer / dryer 10 executes the speed course operation after the reservation change so that the two rinsing steps are executed.

  On the other hand, when the operating condition set by the maker is set in S64, the control unit 11 of the washing and drying machine 10 performs the reservation based on the operating condition set by the maker when executing the process of S26 shown in FIG. Execute the changed operation process. Therefore, the washer / dryer 10 executes an operation according to the operating conditions set by the manufacturer. For example, the washer / dryer 10 executes the speed course operation after the reservation change so that one rinsing step is executed.

  The clothing processing system 1 according to the fifth embodiment has been described above. As is clear from the above description, in the clothing processing system 1 according to the fifth embodiment, the user-set operation conditions or the manufacturer-set operation conditions preset for the operation after the reservation change (for example, speed course operation). , The washing / drying machine 10 executes the operation after the reservation change. According to this configuration, the operation can be performed under the operation conditions suitable for the operation after the reservation change. The operating condition set by the user or the operating condition set by the manufacturer is an example of the “operating condition set in advance”.

(Sixth embodiment)
A clothing processing system 1 according to a sixth embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. In the clothing processing system 1 according to the sixth embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, an operating condition changing process is executed.

  In S81 of the operating condition changing process, the control unit 11 of the washer / dryer 10 determines whether or not the reservation of the additional course operation has been changed to the reservation of the other course operation. If the reservation for the additional course driving has been changed to the reservation for the other course driving, the control unit 11 determines YES in S81 and proceeds to S91. Otherwise, the control unit 11 determines NO in S81 and proceeds to S82.

  In S91 after YES is determined in S81, the control unit 11 of the washing and drying machine 10 increases the number of times of rinsing in another course operation after the reservation change by one. For example, if the operation after the reservation change is the standard course operation, the number of times of rinsing is changed from two to three (see FIG. 4).

  In S82 after NO is determined in S81, the control unit 11 of the washing / drying machine 10 determines whether or not the reservation of the operation other than the speed course operation has been changed to the reservation of the speed course operation. When the reservation of the driving other than the speed course driving is changed to the reservation of the speed course driving, the control unit 11 determines YES in S82 and proceeds to S92. Otherwise, the control unit 11 determines NO in S82 and proceeds to S83.

  In S92 after YES is determined in S82, the control unit 11 applies the number of times of rinsing in the operation before the reservation change in the speed course operation after the reservation change. For example, when the operation before the reservation change is the good night course operation, the control unit 11 executes two rinsing steps in the speed course operation after the reservation change (see FIG. 4).

  In S83 after NO is determined in S82, the control unit 11 determines whether the reservation of the speed course operation has been changed to the reservation of another course operation. When the reservation for the speed course driving is changed to the reservation for the other course driving, the control unit 11 determines YES in S83 and proceeds to S93. Otherwise, the control unit 11 determines NO in S83 and ends the operation condition changing process.

  In S93 after YES is determined in S83, the control unit 11 sets the number of times of rinsing in the operation after the reservation change to one. For example, when the driving after the reservation change is the night driving, the control unit 11 changes the number of times of rinsing from two to one (see FIG. 4). Thereafter, when the process of S93 ends, the operation condition changing process ends.

  As described above, in the clothing processing system 1, when the control unit 11 executes the reservation change, the driving conditions in the driving after the reservation change may be changed. According to this configuration, for example, when the reservation for the special course operation is changed to the reservation for the standard course operation, the recommended amount of the detergent before and after the reservation change is greatly different. Then, when the standard course operation for changing the reservation is executed, it is conceivable that the amount of detergent is large and sufficient rinsing cannot be performed. However, according to the above configuration, sufficient rinsing can be performed by changing the number of times of rinsing in the operation after the reservation change. Further, for example, when the reservation is changed to the reservation for the speed course operation, the quality (for example, powder detergent) different from the recommended detergent quality (for example, liquid detergent) for the speed course operation for the operation before the reservation change. Detergent may have been introduced. In this case, sufficient rinsing can be performed by applying the number of times of rinsing in the operation before the reservation change. Further, when the reservation for the speed course driving is changed to the reservation for the other course driving, the use of extra water or energy can be prevented by setting the number of times of rinsing to one.
