(Operation)

However, if the time required to enter the toilet user and to sit on the flush toilet seat is measured and an abnormality occurs in the preparation stage before sitting on the flush toilet seat, an emergency call will be made, and after sitting on the flush toilet seat, the ass An emergency call is made when the specified time is exceeded at each stage before the washing and before the buttocks are dried. As a result, a check is made at each stage so that an emergency call can be made as soon as an abnormality is detected, and the user can cancel the report so as not to cause a false report.

〔Example〕

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram showing an entrance / exit signal 1a from an entrance / exit detection sensor 1 as an entrance / exit detection means, a toilet seat switch signal 2a from a flush toilet seat 2 such as a warm water flush toilet seat or a heating toilet seat with a flushing device, A signal 2b such as a buttocks washing signal and a buttocks drying signal is input to the abnormality determining means 3 comprising a CPU.
A toilet seat use detecting means is constituted by a toilet seat switch or the like, and an operation grasping means is constituted by a switch or the like for detecting the status of operation switches such as washing and drying.

The abnormality judging means 3 checks whether or not the time is within a preset judgment reference time, and outputs a signal to the abnormality notifying section 4 and the abnormality judgment display section 5 which are emergency notification means when a time exceeding the judgment standard elapses. I do. Further, an abnormality notification canceling operation unit 6 is provided as abnormality notification canceling means for canceling and resetting the false information.

The abnormality determining means 3 is configured such that the time from when the user enters the toilet and the toilet seat switch is turned on is K minutes or more, the time from when the toilet seat switch is turned off to when the user leaves the room is L minutes or more, and the toilet seat switch is turned on. The CPU is programmed with a series of abnormality determination criteria for determining that an abnormality has occurred if the time during which the user does not perform an operation on the flush toilet seat during M is equal to or longer than M minutes. Further, the abnormality notification unit 4 is configured to prevent the toilet user from making an erroneous determination and not reporting when the toilet user requests the cancellation of the determination when the abnormality is determined and responds to the request. If not, the program is similarly programmed to determine the abnormality and drive the abnormality notification unit 4 as the emergency notification means.

In addition, the toilet user is provided with a manual abnormality notification unit that can be notified when the user knows the abnormality.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing a series of operations. Hereinafter, the operations will be described with reference to FIG. Detection sensor 1
Is detected, and then it is determined whether the toilet seat switch signal 2a is ON. If YES, the operation is on standby, and if NO, it is determined whether the toilet seat switch ON time is abnormal for K minutes from the entrance. Is done. If this determination is YES, it is determined that the abnormality is present, and if no cancellation operation is performed, the abnormality notification unit 4
When the abnormality is notified from and the cancellation operation is performed, the process returns immediately after entering the room and starts. If the time K has not been exceeded, the return measurement is started immediately after entering the room even when the exit detection is NO, and the state returns to the state before entry when the exit detection is YES.

Next, the signal of the toilet seat switch is ON and YES,
When there is no operation of the washing toilet seat, it is determined that the operation has not been performed for M minutes or more, and when this determination is YES, an abnormality notification is issued unless it is determined that the operation is abnormal and a cancel operation is not performed. When the cancel operation is performed, the operation returns to YES with the toilet seat switch on and starts. When the determination that the operation has not been performed for M minutes or more is NO, the toilet seat switch is determined to be OFF. When NO, the toilet seat switch is returned to OFF, but when YES, the elapsed time since the toilet seat switch is OFF is L minutes or more. Is determined. When the determination is YES, it is determined that there is an abnormality, and an abnormality is notified unless a cancel operation is performed. However, when the cancel operation is performed, the process returns to the determination of the toilet seat switch off. When the elapsed time from the toilet seat switch is OFF is determined to be L minutes, the toilet seat switch is determined to be ON. When the determination is YES, the entrance detection is determined. When the exit detection is YES, the entrance detection is determined. When the determination is made, the first state is reached, and when the exit detection is NO, the determination of the toilet seat switch off starts.

〔The invention's effect〕

The present invention, as described above, the entry / exit detection means for detecting the entry / exit status, the toilet seat use detection means for detecting whether or not the user is sitting on the washing toilet seat, the posterior washing, the operation of the washing toilet seat in the operation status such as posterior drying. Operation grasping means for grasping, an abnormality judging means for judging normality / abnormality by comparing a signal from the above-mentioned entrance / exit detecting means, toilet seat use detecting means, operation grasping means with a preset time, and abnormality judging means Emergency notification means for notifying abnormalities in the toilet, abnormality determining and displaying means for displaying abnormalities in the toilet, and abnormality notification canceling means for canceling the abnormal notification before reporting by the abnormality notification. The time required to sit on the toilet seat at the same time as entering the room is measured, and if an abnormality occurs during the preparation stage before sitting on the toilet seat, an emergency call will be made, and after sitting on the toilet seat, the ass washing will be performed. Up to a predetermined time at each stage until the bottom is dried, an emergency call is made. In other words, it is possible to receive a check at each stage, quickly catch an abnormality and make an emergency call, and also allow the user to cancel the report so as not to cause a false report.
