As shown in FIG. 1, the bathroom system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention is adjacent to a shower room 4 which is a bathroom provided with a device such as a hand shower in which a user is exposed to water or hot water, and a shower room 4. It is equipped with a dressing room 6. The shower room 4 is a shower room in which the user takes a shower. The shower room 4 may be a bathroom provided with a bathtub. For example, when the shower room 4 is a bathroom, a hand shower or the like as described later is provided in the bathroom. A flush toilet may be arranged in the shower room 4. The user who entered the shower room 4 is regarded as the user of the shower 12. Further, in the shower room 4, the size of the space (the space volume of the shower room) is smaller than the size of the bathroom because the bathtub is not arranged as compared with the bathroom or the like. Therefore, the shower room 4 has a structure in which sound is more likely to reverberate and sound leakage is more likely to occur than in a bathroom or the like. The shower room 4 and the dressing room 6 are provided in facilities such as offices, coworking spaces, gyms, manga cafes, hospitals, etc., which are also used by third parties other than users. The shower room 4 and the dressing room 6 may be a bathroom and a dressing room provided in a household residence and used by a family other than the user. At this time, the dressing room 6 can be composed of a part of other rooms such as a corridor and a washroom.

A backrest portion 16 that allows a user standing in 4 to rest against his / her back, and an invalid operation unit 18 that does not change the sound output from the speaker 40 even when operated by the user. A door open / close detection sensor 20 for detecting the opening / closing of the bathroom door 15 provided between the shower room 4 and the undressing room, and a control unit 22 for controlling the effect means are provided.

As shown in FIG. 1, the shower 12 includes an overhead shower 17, a body shower 32, and a hand shower 34. The shower 12 may contain at least one of these, and may contain a combination of any of these. The shower 12 may be configured to include at least an overhead shower 17. Further, the shower 12 may be configured to include at least a body shower 32. Further, the shower 12 may be configured to include at least a hand shower 34.

Next, the overhead shower 17 will be described with reference to FIGS. 1, 4 and 5. As shown in FIG. 1, the overhead shower 17 is provided downward on the ceiling surface 4a of the shower room 4. The overhead shower 17 is provided with a rectifying member in which the sprinkler plate is omitted and the spouted hot water or water is collected in one water flow.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the overhead shower 17 includes a spout forming member 21 that forms a spout 19 (opening downward in FIG. 4). Inside the spout forming member 21, a first rectifying member 24, a second rectifying member 25, and an exposed rectifying member 26 are provided as rectifying members for rectifying the flow of water. The overhead shower 17 forms a flow path structure in which the sprinkler plate is omitted.

In particular, as shown in FIG. 5, the first rectifying member 24 is composed of a disk-shaped member, the central portion thereof is a shielding portion 43, and 16 water passage holes extending in the water flow direction in the outer peripheral region. The 44s are provided so as to be aligned in the circumferential direction, and eight water passage holes 45 extending in the water flow direction are provided so as to be aligned in the circumferential direction on concentric circles having a diameter of about half.

Further, the second rectifying member 25 is configured by laminating four rectifying nets 51 made of a mesh net. The second rectifying member 25 is arranged so as to be adjacent to the downstream side of the first rectifying member 24.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 4, a water supply channel 23 for supplying water is provided on the upstream side of the first rectifying member 24. In the present embodiment, the water supply channel 23 is formed inside the water supply channel forming member 31 arranged adjacent to the upstream side of the water discharge port forming member 21. The water supplied from the water supply channel 23 collides with the shielding portion 43 and can stay in the first retention chamber 41.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the exposure rectifying member 26 is made of an elastic material. The exposure rectifying member 26 has a cylindrical outer peripheral rectifying surface 61 in the region on the water discharge port 19 side. The exposure rectifying member 26 has a plurality of tubular hollow spaces 65 separated by a partition wall 64 extending in the direction of water flow. In the present embodiment, the plurality of cylindrical hollow spaces 65 are in a mode in which each of the concentric annular regions in the cross-sectional view is further divided into a plurality of regions in the circumferential direction.

The outer peripheral rectifying surface 61 forms an annular rectifying space 66 with the spout forming member 21. By adopting the predetermined dimensional conditions, even if the water flow enters the annular rectifying space 66 and contracts, it is sufficiently rectified in the rectifying space 66, so that the rectifying performance as a whole can be maintained. can.

The water supplied from the water supply channel 23 collides with the shielding portion 43 of the first rectifying member 24 and then temporarily stays in the first retention chamber 41. As a result, the water pressure is stored inside the first retention chamber 41. After that, the water staying in the first retention chamber 41 is pushed out to the water from the upstream direction and flows out to the downstream side through the water passage hole 44 and the water passage hole 45.

The water flowing out from the water passage hole 44 and the water passage hole 45 goes straight to the water discharge port 19 through the second rectifying member 25, and toward the center of the second retention chamber 47 due to surface tension and negative pressure generated inside. It is divided into the flow to go and the flow. The latter flow toward the center is concentrated at the center and then flows out to the spout 19 via the second rectifying member 25.

When passing through the four rectifying nets 51 of the second rectifying member 25, the velocity vectors of the water flow are aligned in the traveling direction. After that, the water flow is discharged from the spout 19 through the plurality of tubular hollow spaces 65 of the exposure rectifying member 26 and the annular rectifying space 66 on the outer periphery of the exposure rectifying member 26. As a result, the hot water or water discharged from the spout 19 becomes a single stream of water. Such a water flow of the overhead shower 17 forms a water film along the human body at the time of landing, wraps the whole body, and is effective in increasing the core body temperature when the water flow is a hot water flow.

In particular, a cylindrical outer peripheral rectifying surface 61 is provided in the region of the spout side 2 of the exposed rectifying member 26, and an annular rectifying space 66 is formed between the outer peripheral rectifying surface 61 and the spout forming member 21. Therefore, the occurrence of water discharge cracks is remarkably suppressed, and extremely high rectification performance can be realized.

The water flow discharged from the spout 19 of the overhead shower 17 flows vertically from the ceiling surface to the floor surface while maintaining cohesiveness as a single water flow. Since the spout 19 of the overhead shower 17 is not provided with a sprinkler plate, the water flow discharged from the spout 19 is not sprinkled by the sprinkler plate. Therefore, the spouting sound generated when the spouting water is divided into a plurality of water streams by the sprinkler plate, the water landing sound generated when the plurality of water streams land on the user, and the plurality of water streams land on the floor surface 4b. Compared to the relatively loud sound of water landing when water is applied, the water landing sound generated when a single columnar water flow is landed on the floor surface 4b as in the present embodiment is relatively quiet. It is suppressed. Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the water landing position of the water flow discharged from the overhead shower 17 on the floor surface 4b of the shower room 4 and the drainage port portion 28 provided on the floor surface 4b are viewed from above. They are arranged so that they do not overlap. The drainage port 28 may be a drainage port in which the drainage port is covered with a cover but the cover is omitted.

Further, the invalid operation unit 18 is not electrically connected to the control unit 22. Therefore, even if the user operates the invalid operation unit 18, the operation is invalid and the sound output from the speaker 40 cannot be changed. In this case, since the invalid operation unit 18 is arranged, the volume adjustment unit for changing the sound output from the speaker 40 is substantially arranged at a position in the shower room 4 that is easy for the user to operate. It is in a state where it is not. As a modification, the invalid operation unit 18 does not have a volume adjustment unit for changing the sound output from the speaker 40 at a position in the shower room 4 that is easy for the user to operate. The function (the function that the user cannot change the sound output from the speaker 40) may be achieved. Further, as a modification, the invalid operation unit 18 has a structure in which the operation is invalid even if the user operates the invalid operation unit 18, and the volume is such that the sound output from the speaker 40 can be changed. It may be configured so as not to make the appearance of the adjusting unit. At this time, the invalid operation unit 18 is provided so as not to be easily recognized as a volume adjusting unit by the user, and the operation input is also invalid. As a further modification, the invalid operation unit 18 arranges a volume adjusting unit in the shower room 4 so that the output of the sound from the speaker 40 can be changed, and then the invalid operation unit 18 electrically with the control unit 22. The function of the invalid operation unit 18 may be achieved by not accepting or controlling the change of the sound output from the speaker 40 in a predetermined period by the processing of the connected control unit 22.

The door open / close detection sensor 20 is provided on the door frame of the wall to which the bathroom door 15 is attached. The door open / close detection sensor 20 can detect the open / close of the bathroom door 15. The door open / close detection sensor 20 is electrically connected to the control unit 22, and the control unit 22 can determine the open / closed state of the bathroom door 15 via the door open / close detection sensor 20.

The control unit 22 functions as a control unit 22 that controls the sound output by the speaker 40. The sound output (sound output) includes audio output, video / audio output, music sound output, and the like. The control unit 22 is configured so as not to accept the change of the sound output of the speaker 40 by the user of the shower 12 after the start of the sound output by the speaker 40 and before the stop of the sound output, and is set in advance. It is configured to output sound from the speaker 40 by output. "The control unit 22 is configured not to accept the change of the sound output of the speaker 40 by the user of the shower 12" includes the arrangement of the invalid operation unit 18 or the change of the sound output from the speaker 40. A configuration is included in which the control unit 22 does not physically receive the request signal for changing the sound output of the speaker 40 because the switch is not arranged. Further, "the control unit 22 is configured so as not to accept the change of the sound output of the speaker 40 by the user of the shower 12", the sound of the speaker 40 is transmitted to the control unit 22 by software processing of the control unit 22 or the like. A configuration is included in which the control unit 22 does not accept the change input or does not perform the change control process within a predetermined period even if the change request signal of the output of the above is input. This predetermined period is, for example, a period after the start of sound output by the speaker 40 and before the stop of sound output, and in another example, it may be a period other than initial setting and maintenance.

By configuring the control unit 22 as described above, after the start of the sound output by the speaker 40 and before the stop of the sound output, that is, during the period when the space effect by the control unit 22 is performed, the shower 12 Regardless of the intention of the user, the sound can be output at the volume intended by the installer of the bathroom system 1 by the preset output.

The preset output is for the characteristics of the water discharge sound and / or the water discharge sound generated from the water discharge position and the water discharge form, the size of the shower room 4, the position of the speaker 40, etc. according to the type of shower and the like. It is set as a sound output that is easy to hear and does not easily cause noise from people outside the bathroom. The preset output may be preset as one setting, or may be selected from a plurality of settings.

To be easy for the user to hear means that the loudness of the sound produced by the speaker 40 is the sound of water spouting and / or the sound of the speaker 40 at the height of the user's ear at the estimated position of the user (for example, the height of the ear of a person of average height). Or it is specified by being louder than the loudness of the landing sound. The estimated user positions are, for example, the position directly below the overhead shower 17, the position of the user leaning against the backrest portion 16, the position in front of the body shower 32 in the water discharge direction, and the position where the image of the image display unit 38 can be viewed. Is.

The noise is less likely to occur when the loudness of the sound leaking to the outside of the undressing chamber 6 with the entrance door 52 of the undressing chamber 6 closed is preferably 0 dB or more and less than 55 dB (less than the loudness of the sound leak that is less likely to be unpleasant). Range), more preferably 0 dB or more and less than 45 dB (range less than the magnitude of sound leakage that is less unpleasant to feel).

The control unit 22 functions as a control unit that controls the light emitted from the shower room lighting 42 in the shower room 4 and / or the undressing room lighting 46 in the undressing room 6. When executing the space effect, the control unit 22 controls the shower room lighting 42 and / or the undressing room lighting 46.

The control unit 22 functions as a control unit that controls the image display displayed on the image display unit 38. The video display includes a display of a moving image, a display of a still image, and a display of a light emitting state other than the still image (for example, a simple light emitting display).

The control unit 22 is electrically connected to the start operation unit 10 and receives an input signal operated by the start operation unit 10. Further, the control unit 22 is electrically connected to the speaker 40, the shower room lighting 42, the dressing room lighting 46, the indirect lighting 49, the projector 36, and the door open / close detection sensor 20. All or part of these electrical connections may be connected by infrared communication, wireless communication such as other methods, or the like. Therefore, the control unit 22 may be arranged at a position physically separated from the shower room 4 and the dressing room 6 via the Internet, or may be provided in the form of a program on the server via the Internet. May be good. That is, the control unit 22 may be formed on the server by being provided in the form of a program. In the present embodiment, the control unit 22 has a built-in arithmetic unit such as a CPU and a storage device such as a memory, and can control electrically connected devices based on a predetermined control program or the like. For example, the control unit 22 stores a control program for performing a first space effect mode, a second space effect mode, a third space effect mode, and other space effects in a storage device. Further, for example, the control unit 22 stores a control program for executing control such as an automatic end mode, an interruption mode, and a safe lighting mode in a storage device.

Next, with reference to FIG. 6, the spatial effect performed by the control unit 22 will be described.
The spatial effect is performed by executing at least one of video display, sound output, and lighting control by the effect means 8.

For example, the control unit 22 executes video display in the video display unit 38 such as playing a moving image, outputs sound from a speaker 40 such as playing music, and completely illuminates the inside of the shower room 4. It is provided with a first space effect mode for executing lighting control such that the lighting in the dressing room 6 is turned off while the lighting state is set. The control unit 22 also stores the video content data displayed in the first space effect mode and the content data of the output sound.

The control unit 22 also executes video display in the video display unit 38 such as playing a moving image, outputs sound from a speaker 40 such as playing music, and lights in the shower room 4. It is provided with a second space effect mode for executing lighting control such that the lighting state is set by the indirect lighting 49. The control unit 22 also stores the video content data displayed in the second space effect mode and the content data of the output sound.

The control unit 22 also executes video display in the video display unit 38 such as playing a moving image, outputs sound from a speaker 40 such as playing music, and lights in the shower room 4. It is provided with a third space effect mode for executing lighting control such that the light is turned off. The control unit 22 also stores the video content data displayed in the third space effect mode and the content data of the output sound.
Regardless of the above-exemplified spatial effect mode, the control unit 22 can execute the spatial effect by any one, two combinations, or three combinations of video display, sound output, and lighting control.

Here, in the "effect", any one of the image display, the sound output, and the lighting control changes the state from the ON state to the OFF state and / or from the OFF state to the ON state after the start of the production and before the end of the production. It includes being controlled to perform automatically, or being controlled to automatically perform a change in strength or weakness. For example, the "effect" includes that the video display and the sound output are not executed and the state change of the lighting intensity is automatically performed. Further, the "effect" is not limited to these, and includes simply reproducing a video display or a sound output. For example, "effect" includes simply reproducing a video display or sound output without performing lighting control. Further, the "effect" is not limited to these, and includes executing at least two of video display, sound output, and lighting control in combination. For example, the "effect" includes controlling the lighting to all lights and then reproducing the video display or the sound output. It should be noted that the control unit 22 outputs the sound from the speaker 40 by the output preset as described above during the execution of such a spatial effect.

The control unit 22 includes an automatic end mode in which the space effect of the shower room 4 is started based on the operation to the start operation unit 10, and then the started space effect is automatically ended within a predetermined time. In the automatic end mode, the control unit 22 has a predetermined time of preferably 15 seconds to 5 minutes, more preferably a predetermined time of 30 seconds to 3 minutes, for example, a predetermined time of 2 minutes after the start of the spatial effect. The space production is automatically completed within the specified time. Therefore, the control unit 22 forcibly terminates the space effect in such a relatively short predetermined time, thereby intensively providing the user with an environment in which the user can relax in a short period of time during the space effect. At the same time, it is possible to impress the user with the end of the usage time of the shower room 4 in a relatively natural manner at the end of the space production, suppress the long-term use of the user, and facilitate the user to use the shower room 4 for a short time. .. For example, in the shower room 4 attached to an office or a coworking space, it is possible to suppress the long-term use of the user, facilitate the user to use the shower room for a short time, and efficiently use the user for a predetermined period of time. Refreshing contributes to the convenience of the user, and makes it easier for one user to use the shower room 4 for another user without occupying the shower room 4 for a long period of time. It should be noted that the automatic end mode of the control unit 22 is not necessarily limited to the one that ends within a predetermined time, and may be controlled so as to end when a predetermined time has elapsed.

By providing the automatic end mode in the control unit 22, it is possible to omit the arrangement of the effect end operation button that the user manually operates in order to end the space effect by the normal usage method. If the space effect is set to be terminated by the operation of the effect end operation button of the user, the space effect will continue unless the user operates the effect end operation button. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the arrangement of the effect end operation button is omitted, and the space effect is automatically ended within a predetermined time by the automatic end mode, so that the user can be efficiently terminated in a predetermined predetermined period. Refresh. In addition, such control of the automatic end mode makes it possible for the user to be aware that a predetermined time has elapsed, and the user can effectively utilize the time to use the shower room 4. If the user wants to additionally use the space effect, the further space effect can be executed by further operating the start operation unit 10. Therefore, when the user wants to be more refreshed, the user can additionally use the space effect after being aware of the passage of a predetermined time.

The control unit 22 includes an interruption mode in which the projection of the image by the projector 36 is interrupted when the door open / close detection sensor 20 detects the opening of the bathroom door 15 during the execution of the space effect by the effect means 8. In the interrupted state due to the interrupt mode of the control unit 22, not only the projector 36 is stopped, but also the projection of the image is interrupted and the black screen (most of the screen is basically black screen image) is projected. It also includes a state in which the projector 36 is operating but the projection of the image is interrupted by the mute function and the projected image disappears. According to the interruption mode of the control unit 22, the user who has opened the bathroom door 15 may be given a dazzling sensation by not projecting the light from the projector 36 or projecting a black screen image. Can be reduced. In the interruption mode, the operation of the projector 36 may be stopped after the projector 36 is suspended. The interruption state due to the interruption mode of the control unit 22 includes a state in which the projector 36 is stopped unintentionally.

The interruption mode also interrupts the sound output from the speaker 40. That is, when the door open / close detection sensor 20 detects the opening of the bathroom door 15 during the execution of the space effect by the effect means 8, the control unit 22 suspends the sound output by the speaker 40. Therefore, when the control unit is provided with such an interruption mode, when the bathroom door 15 is opened, the sound from the speaker 40 leaks from the shower room 4 to the dressing room 6, and further, the outside of the entrance door 52 of the dressing room 6. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of sound leakage.

The control unit 22 sets the image display unit 38 so that the lighting provided in at least one of the shower room 4 and the undressing room 6 is turned off and the image is not displayed on the image display unit 38 at the same time. When the image is not displayed, the lights (shower room lighting 42 and / or the dressing room lighting 46) are turned on in advance or at the same time, and all the lights in the shower room 4 and the dressing room 6 are turned off. When the state is reached, the safety lighting mode is provided so that the image is displayed on the image display unit 38 in advance or at the same time.

The control unit 22 determines the case where the image is not displayed on the image display unit 38 in the safety lighting mode, and also determines the shower room lighting 42, the undressing room lighting 46, and the indirect lighting 49 (only one of them or the indirect lighting 49). If two are provided, it is determined that all of those lights) are turned off. The safe lighting mode is not limited to the state in which the lighting is turned off and the state in which the image is displayed on the image display unit 38 are switched at the same time, and there may be a time error. That is, if the state in which the lighting is turned off and the state in which the image is not displayed on the image display unit 38 do not occur at the same time, the control unit 22 will first take the shower room at the end of the space effect. The lighting in 4 may be turned on so that the video display of the video display unit 38 is not displayed later. Due to the safety lighting mode of the control unit 22, the image is not displayed on the image display unit 38 at a timing unintended by the user due to the space effect of the shower room 4, and the shower room 4 and the dressing room 6 are in the state where the image is not displayed. It is possible to suppress the possibility that the safety of the user is lowered because the state in which all the lights are turned off occurs at the same time and the user cannot see the inside of the shower room 4 and the dressing room 6.

Next, the operation (action) of the bathroom system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8.
FIG. 7 shows a start operation unit, a bathroom door 15, a door open / close detection sensor 20, and a projector in a bathroom system according to an embodiment of the present invention, in a case where the space effect by the control unit is executed until the space effect is completed after a lapse of a predetermined time. It is a timing chart which shows the operation state of 36, lighting, and a sound output with the passage of time. FIG. 8 shows a case where the space effect by the control unit is interrupted before the end of the space effect by the lapse of a predetermined time in the bathroom system according to the embodiment of the present invention, the start operation unit, the bathroom door 15, the door open / close detection sensor 20. It is a timing chart which shows the operation state of a projector 36, an illumination, and a sound output with the passage of time.
In FIGS. 7 and 8, on the vertical axis, whether or not there was a start operation of the start operation unit, whether the bathroom door 15 was in the open state or the closed state, and the state of the bathroom door 15 detected by the door open / close detection sensor 20. Whether it is in the ON state or OFF state, the projection of the projector 36 is in the ON state (projection is being performed) or OFF state (projection is not being performed), or the lighting is in the ON state (lighting is on). Indicates the change between the OFF state (the state where the lighting is not lit), the sound output is the ON state (the state where the sound is being output), and the OFF state (the state where the sound is not being output). The horizontal axis shows the passage of time.

First, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 7, a case will be described in which the spatial effect by the control unit is executed until the predetermined time elapses.
A user who intends to use the shower 12 enters the dressing room 6 from the shared space F (see FIG. 2) on the office side through the entrance door 52. After the user enters the dressing room 6, the entrance door 52 is closed. The undressing room lighting 46 is turned on by the operation of the undressing room lighting switch 50 of the user. The user undresses in the undressing room 6, opens the bathroom door 15, and enters the shower room 4. The shower room lighting 42 is turned on by operating the shower room lighting switch 48 (see FIG. 1) of the user. After entering the shower room 4, the user closes the bathroom door 15. After that, the user can operate the shower operation unit 14 to bathe in hot water or water by spouting water from any of the overhead shower 17, the body shower 32, and the hand shower 34.

As shown in FIG. 7, at the time point (for example, time T0) before the user who uses the shower room 4 performs the space effect, the start operation unit 10 is in a state where the start operation is not performed and there is no start operation. The door open / close detection sensor 20 is in the OFF state, the control unit 22 determines that the bathroom door 15 is in the closed state, the projection of the image by the projector 36 is in the OFF state, and the dressing room lighting 46 and The shower room lighting 42 is in the lighting state, and the sound output by the speaker 40 is in the OFF state.

The user can execute the space effect of the shower room 4 by the effect means 8 at any timing before, during, and after the use of the shower 12. As shown in FIG. 7, the user who intends to execute the spatial effect selects one of the first switch 10a, the second switch 10b, and the third switch 10c from the start operation units 10 at the time T1 to start the operation. Execute the operation of pressing the switch that is. The control unit 22 determines that the start operation unit 10 has a start operation, and executes the corresponding control. For example, when the third switch 10c of the start operation unit 10 is operated, the control unit 22 causes the third space effect mode to be executed. Hereinafter, an example in which the control unit 22 executes the third space effect mode will be described, but the first space effect mode, the second space effect mode, and other control modes are similarly similarly according to the above-mentioned control program of the control unit 22. You can control it.
At time T1, the control unit 22 receives a signal that the door open / close detection sensor 20 is in the OFF state. As a result, the control unit 22 can determine that the bathroom door 15 is in the closed state, and the control unit 22 has the bathroom door 15 in the closed state as planned, so that sound leakage and images are directly projected to the user. It is possible to execute the space effect by judging that the space effect can be executed without any problem.

At time T1, when the third switch 10c of the start operation unit 10 is operated, the control unit 22 starts the execution of the third space effect mode. At time T1, the control unit 22 starts the projection of the projector 36 and turns the projection of the projector 36 into the ON state. The control unit 22 starts the projection of the image by the projector 36 and starts the display of the image by the image display unit 38 so as to reproduce the image content corresponding to the third space effect mode. Further, the control unit 22 changes the sound output by the speaker 40 from the OFF state to the ON state at the time T1. Therefore, the control unit 22 can output the sound by the speaker 40 together with the display of the image by the image display unit 38, and can synchronize the image and the sound. The control unit 22 executes the space effect at the time T1 and starts measuring the passage of the space effect time in the automatic end mode. At time T1, the control unit 22 turns on the undressing room lighting 46, the shower room lighting 42, and the indirect lighting 49 in the ON state, and immediately after the start of the space effect, the lighting in the shower room 4 and the undressing room 6 is the above-mentioned lighting. Is turned off and it becomes difficult for the user to visually recognize the inside of the shower room 4 and the dressing room 6, so that the possibility that the safety of the user is lowered can be suppressed.

In starting the execution of the third space effect mode, the control unit 22 sends an operation signal to a device connected to the control unit 22 by wireless communication such as infrared communication, for example, a projector 36, a dressing room lighting 46, and the like. Controls transmission multiple times at the timing of the operation. As a result, the possibility that a communication error or the like occurs in wireless communication can be reduced, and the possibility that the device does not operate can be reduced. The control unit 22 performs the same control when executing other modes such as the first space effect mode and the second space effect mode.

The control unit 22 also executes the origin alignment control when starting the execution of the third space effect mode. For example, the control unit 22 temporarily controls the shower room lighting 42 and / or the undressing room lighting 46 and / or the indirect lighting 49 to the full lighting state by the origin alignment control. After that, the undressing room lighting 46, the shower room lighting 42, and the like are changed to an extinguished state or an arbitrary lighting state. As a result, the control unit 22 does not need to confirm the initial states of the undressing room lighting 46 and the shower room lighting 42 at the start of control, and can always change the lighting from the full lighting state to the target state. Therefore, control can be performed easily and reliably. The control unit 22 performs the same control when executing other modes such as the first space effect mode and the second space effect mode. Further, the control unit 22 also executes the origin alignment control when starting the execution of the third space effect mode. For example, the control unit 22 controls the projector 36 to always start control from the same menu selection screen by the origin alignment control. As a result, the control unit 22 can shift from the menu selection screen to each video content in a short period of time to execute the spatial effect mode at the start of control. The control unit 22 performs the same control when executing other modes such as the first space effect mode and the second space effect mode.
Further, the control unit 22 also executes the origin alignment control when starting the execution of the third space effect mode. For example, the control unit 22 controls the speaker 40 so that the control is always started from the output of the same sound by the origin alignment control. As a result, at the start of control, the control unit 22 can reliably shift from the output of the same sound to the output of each sound at a predetermined setting and timing of the volume and the like in a short period of time to execute the spatial effect mode. The control unit 22 performs the same control when executing other modes such as the first space effect mode and the second space effect mode.
It should be noted that such origin alignment control may be performed at the end of execution of each space effect mode. By always setting the state of each device at the end, the state at the time of operation of the next device can be stably estimated, and the next space production mode can be executed reliably in a short period of time. Will be possible.

At time T2, the control unit 22 turns off the undressing room lighting 46 and the shower room lighting 42, and turns off all the above-mentioned lights in the shower room 4 and the undressing room 6. As a result, the effect of the image, sound, and lighting can be further enhanced, and the relaxing effect on the user can be further enhanced. The control unit 22 executes the space effect in the third space effect mode even after the time T2. The time T2 is a time after a lapse of several seconds to 10 seconds from the time T1.

At time T3, the control unit 22 determines in the automatic end mode that a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the space effect (time T1), and ends the space effect in the third space effect mode. With such an automatic end mode, the spatial effect is automatically ended when a predetermined time elapses. As a result, it is possible to suppress the user's long-term use and facilitate the user's short-time use.

When the control unit 22 is about to end the space effect, the undressing room lighting 46, the shower room lighting 42, and the indirect lighting 49 are changed from the OFF state to the ON state by the safety lighting mode, and the shower room 4 and the shower room 4 and the control unit 22 are changed. All the lights in the dressing room 6 are turned on. At this time, the projection of the projector 36 continues to be ON so that the state in which the lighting is turned off and the state in which the image is not displayed on the image display unit 38 do not occur at the same time by the safety lighting mode. If the safety lighting mode prevents the lighting from being turned off and the image not displayed on the image display unit 38 at the same time, the undressing room lighting 46 and the shower room lighting 42 are all used. At the same time as turning on the lighting state, the projection of the projector 36 may be turned off. Further, at time T3, the control unit 22 changes the sound output from the speaker 40 from the ON state to the OFF state. At time T3, the spatial effect by the third space effect mode is finished. The user is still in the shower room 4 and has not opened the bathroom door 15.

At time T4, the control unit 22 changes the projection of the projector 36 from the ON state to the OFF state. The time T4 is a time after a lapse of several seconds to 10 seconds from the time T3. At time T3, the spatial effect by the third space effect mode is finished, but from time T3 to time T4, the image of the end screen or the image of the standby state is displayed on the image display unit 38. After the time T4, the user leaves the shower room 4 with the bathroom door 15 open and moves to the dressing room 6.

Next, as shown in FIG. 8, a case where the spatial effect by the control unit 22 is interrupted before the predetermined time elapses will be described.
Since the control of the control unit 22 from the time T0 to T2 is the same as the control shown in FIG. 7, the description thereof will be omitted.
Originally, as shown in FIG. 7, at the time T3, the control unit 22 determines that a predetermined time has elapsed from the start (time T1) of the space effect by the automatic end mode, and determines that the predetermined time has elapsed, and the third space effect mode. End the space production by.
However, the user may end or suspend the use of the shower room 4 and leave the shower room 4 before the time T3 when such a predetermined time elapses.

Until the time T5 (time before the time T3), the control unit 22 continues the spatial effect by the third space effect mode. At time T5, the user tries to leave the shower room 4 and causes the bathroom door 15 to be opened from the closed state. The door open / close detection sensor 20 changes from the OFF state to the ON state, and the control unit 22 recognizes that the bathroom door 15 has been opened. As a result, the control unit 22 executes the interruption mode and puts the projection of the image by the projector 36 into the interruption state. The projection of the projector 36 is still in the ON state, but the projection of the video screen is interrupted and the projection is switched to the black screen. According to such an interruption mode, the user trying to get out of the bathroom door 15 may be given a dazzling sensation by not projecting the light from the projector 36 or projecting a black screen image. Can be reduced.

At time T5, the control unit 22 sets the undressing room lighting 46 and the shower room lighting 42 so that the lighting is not turned off and the image is not displayed on the image display unit 38 at the same time due to the safety lighting mode. Is changed from the OFF state to the ON state, and all the lights in the shower room 4 and the dressing room 6 are turned on. Further, at time T5, the control unit 22 changes the sound output from the speaker 40 from the ON state to the OFF state by the interruption mode. Therefore, when the bathroom door 15 is opened, it is possible to prevent the sound from the speaker 40 from leaking from the shower room 4 to the dressing room 6 and further causing sound leakage to the outside of the entrance door 52 of the dressing room 6.

At time T6, the control unit 22 erases the projected image by the mute function. Therefore, the control unit 22 changes the projection of the projector 36 from the ON state to the OFF state. At this time, the control unit 22 may stop the operation of the projector 36. After that, the user moves to the dressing room 6, and the control unit 22 returns to the state before the execution of the space effect.

According to the bathroom system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, the space effect of the shower room 4 by the effect means 8 can be started by the operation of the start operation unit 10 by the user, for example, to the shower room 4.
