In addition, according to the alerting | reporting method, it is safe to simplify each health information suitably.

"About the display by the display unit"
Next, the display of the display unit 25 will be described. FIG. 3 is a diagram for explaining the display contents of the display unit 25. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the display unit 25 displays character information I10 (temperature acquired by the temperature sensor 22b), character information I20 (humidity acquired by the humidity sensor 22c), and an icon indicating the remaining amount of the battery. I30 and character information I40 can be displayed. Text information I40 is a simplified version of the health information.

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

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

  A range AR1 near the center of the table TA10 (a non-hatched range, for example, a range including a temperature of 23 ° C. and a humidity of 35% to 55%) is mite, heat stroke Nothing is displayed as the character information I40 because there is no possibility or the possibility of occurrence of etc. Even when the temperature and the humidity correspond to any area in the range AR1, the display unit 25 displays the character information I10, the character information I20, and the icon I30.

  The range AR2 toward the lower left of the table TA10 (a range with hatching upward to the right, for example, a range including a temperature of 12 ° C. and a humidity of 20% to 65%) Since there is a possibility that the disease may occur, "influenza" is displayed on the display unit 25 as the character information I40.

  In the upper half of the table TA10, a range AR3 (a small dotted range, for example, a temperature of 6 ° C. to 40 ° C. and a humidity of 70% to 100%) Because there is a possibility that “fear” will occur, “mold / mite” is displayed on the display unit 25 as the character information I40.

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

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

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

  Similarly, when the current temperature and humidity correspond to any area of the range AR7 where the range AR3 and the range AR4 overlap with each other, the health information corresponding to the range AR3 (“mold / mite”) And health information ("food poisoning") corresponding to the range AR4 are displayed on the display unit 25 as character information I40.

  Similarly, when the current temperature and humidity correspond to any area of the range AR8 in which the range AR3 and the range AR4 and the range AR5 overlap with each other, the health information corresponding to the range AR3 (“mold -All the health information ("food poisoning") corresponding to the range AR4 and the health information ("heat stroke") corresponding to the range AR5 are displayed on the display unit 25 as character information I40.

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

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

  In one embodiment, "purple" is assigned as the light emission color of the light output unit 23a when there is a "risk of causing mold or tick", and the light output unit 23a when there is a "may be affected by influenza". Is assigned as "blue", and "green" is assigned as the light emission color of the light output unit 23a when "a risk of food poisoning occurs", and "when there is a risk of heatstroke". "Red" is assigned as the light emission color of the light output unit 23a. In addition, when it does not correspond to any health information, luminescent color is not allocated and the light output part 23a does not emit light.

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

  In addition, there may be a case where the light emission color of the light output unit 23a corresponding to health information is assigned to each range made up of one or a plurality of regions, and the control unit 21 refers to the table TA20 to obtain the current temperature and humidity When there is a light emission color corresponding to the light output portion 23a is made to emit light with the light emission color. Hereinafter, the light emission process of the light output unit 23a performed based on the contents of the table TA20 and the table TA20 will be described.

  In the range AR11 near the center of the table TA20 (a range without hatching, for example, a range including a range of a temperature of 23 ° C. and a humidity of 35% to 55%), there is a possibility that ticks, heat stroke and the like may occur. Since the light output unit 23a does not emit light or does not emit light (no light emission), the user is notified of nothing.

  The range AR12 near the lower left of the table TA20 (a range with hatching upward to the right, for example, a range including a temperature of 12 ° C. and a humidity of 20% to 65%) And the light output unit 23a emits light in blue.

  The range AR13 near the upper left of the table TA20 (a range with hatching downward to the right, for example, a range including a temperature of 12 ° C. and a humidity range of 70% to 100%) Since there is a possibility that a tick will occur, the light output unit 23a emits light in purple.

  A range AR14 toward the upper center of table TA20 (a range in which the distance is narrow and the area is hatched upward and to the right, for example, a range including a temperature of 21 ° C. and a humidity of 60% to 95%) Since "there is a possibility that food poisoning may occur", the light output unit 23a emits light in green.

  The range AR15 to the right of the table TA20 (a range having a narrow right-sloping diagonal line, for example, a range including a temperature of 30 ° C. and a humidity of 45% to 100%) is The light output unit 23 a emits light in red because there is “a risk of heatstroke”.

In the case where the plurality of health information overlap (for example, the range corresponding to the range AR6, the range AR7, and the range AR8 in the table TA10), the control unit 21 specifies one health information based on the priority. The light output unit 23a is controlled so that the light emission color corresponds to the one health information. In one embodiment, in consideration of the necessity of alerting of health information, priority is set as follows.
・ (Priority high) Heatstroke, influenza> Food poisoning> Mold, tick (low priority)
In addition, since there is no overlapping range of heatstroke and influenza as a plurality of health information, both are set as the same rank ranking.

  A specific example will be described. For example, if the temperature is 7 ° C. and the humidity is 80%, there is a risk of suffering from influenza, and there is also a risk that molds and ticks may occur. Therefore, in the table TA10, both health information are defined, and all the health information is displayed as the text information I40. However, in the table TA20, only the luminescent color (blue) corresponding to "influenza" having a higher priority is defined, and in notification of health information by light, the light output portion 23a is made to emit light only in blue. Ru.

  For example, when the temperature is 21 ° C. and the humidity is 90%, food poisoning may occur and mold and / or tick may occur. Therefore, in the table TA10, both health information are defined, and all the health information is displayed as the text information I40. However, in the table TA20, only the light emission color (green) corresponding to "food poisoning" having a higher priority is defined, and in notification of health information by light, the light output portion 23a is made to emit light only in green. Ru.

  For example, if the temperature is 28 ° C. and the humidity is 90%, food poisoning may occur, mold and tick may occur, and heat stroke may occur. Therefore, the table TA10 defines three health information, and all the health information is displayed as the text information I40. However, in the table TA20, only the luminescent color (red) corresponding to the “heatstroke” having the highest priority is defined, and in the notification of health information by light, the light output part 23a is made to emit light only in red. Is done.

  If multiple health information exists, the method of sequentially switching the light emission color of the light output unit 23a to emit light, providing a plurality of light output units, making the light emission colors different and making each light output unit emit light is also considered. Be However, this may make it difficult for the user to understand the health information to be most carefully noted, in other words, the superiority or inferiority of the health information, which leads to an increase in cost. Therefore, in one embodiment, a priority is set for health information, and the light output unit 23a is made to emit light in an emission color corresponding to the health information based on the priority.

"About notification by voice output unit"
Next, notification of health information using voice will be described. First, a menu (voice menu) of voice that can be reproduced by the voice output unit 23b will be described. FIG. 6 shows a list of voice menus. The audio output unit 23b generates audio data corresponding to the audio menu shown in FIG. 6 according to control by the control unit 21, and reproduces audio corresponding to the generated audio data.

  In the voice menu 1, voice data "There is a risk of influenza" is generated, and a voice corresponding to the voice data is reproduced from the voice output unit 23b. In the voice menu 2, voice data “there is a possibility of occurrence of mold” is generated, and a voice corresponding to the voice data is reproduced from the voice output unit 23 b. The other voice menu is as shown in the figure, so the description is omitted. The voice menus 15 to 20 are voices to be reproduced when the operation mode to be described later is set, and each of the voice menus 15 to 20 corresponds to each of modes 1 to 6 to be described later. The voice menu 21 is a voice to be reproduced when the input unit 24 is operated with a low battery (for example, a battery voltage of 3.6 V (volt) or less).

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

  Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the table TA30, there are areas with numbers in parentheses and areas without numbers. Since the area without parenthesized numbers does not correspond to any health information, notification by voice is not performed. The parenthesized numbers correspond to audio menus to be reproduced. The correspondence between the parenthesized numbers in the table TA30 and the voice menu is as follows.

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

  The table TA30 is used as data for determining an audio menu to be reproduced by the audio output unit 23b based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b and the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c in the ROM of the control unit 21. It is memorized. The control unit 21 refers to the table TA30, and when there is an audio menu corresponding to the current temperature and humidity, controls the audio menu to be reproduced from the audio output unit 23b. Hereinafter, the reproduction process of the audio output unit 23b performed based on the contents of the table TA30 and the table TA30 will be described.

  When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area to which (2) or (3) is attached in the table TA30, it is notified by voice that the "possibility of being susceptible to influenza" is present and the countermeasure therefor. If the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area to which (2) is attached in the table TA30, the audio menus 1 and 8 corresponding to (2) are sequentially reproduced. If the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area to which (3) is attached in the table TA30, the audio menus 1 and 13 corresponding to (3) are sequentially reproduced.

  When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area to which (1) or (8) is attached in the table TA30, it is notified by voice that the "fear of occurrence of mold / mite" is present and the countermeasure therefor. When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area to which (1) and (8) are attached in the table TA30, the audio menus 2 and 14 corresponding to (1) and (8) are displayed. It is played back sequentially.

  When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area to which (4) is attached in the table TA30, a message to the effect that "food poisoning may occur" and the countermeasure are notified by voice. When the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area to which (4) is attached in the table TA30, the audio menus 6 and 9 corresponding to (4) are sequentially reproduced.

  If the current temperature and humidity correspond to the area indicated by (5), (6), (7), (9), (10) and (11) in Table TA30, “The heat stroke is taken Give a voice to notify that there is a fear and the measures to be taken. In addition, since there is height depending on the temperature and humidity, the risk of getting heatstroke is classified into "Danger", "Strict alertness", and "Warning" and reported in detail, in one embodiment, the risk of getting heatstroke. It is like that.

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

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

  Notification by voice is also performed based on the priority set for the health information. The priority is the same as the priority described above.

  A specific example will be described. For example, if the temperature is 7 ° C. and the humidity is 80%, there is a risk of suffering from influenza, and there is also a risk that molds and ticks may occur. Therefore, in the table TA10, both health information are defined, and all the health information is displayed as the text information I40. However, in the table TA30, only the parenthesized number (2) corresponding to the higher priority "influenza" is defined. Then, in the notification by voice using the voice output unit 23b, only the voice menus 1 and 8 corresponding to (2) are reproduced.

  For example, when the temperature is 21 ° C. and the humidity is 90%, food poisoning may occur and mold and / or tick may occur. Therefore, in the table TA10, both health information are defined, and all the health information is displayed as the text information I40. However, in the table TA30, only the parenthesized number (4) corresponding to "food poisoning" having a higher priority is defined. Then, in the notification by voice using the voice output unit 23b, only the voice menus 6 and 9 corresponding to (4) are reproduced.

  For example, if the temperature is 28 ° C. and the humidity is 90%, food poisoning may occur, mold and tick may occur, and heat stroke may occur. Therefore, the table TA10 defines three health information, and all the health information is displayed as the text information I40. However, in the table TA30, only the parenthesized number (6) corresponding to the higher priority "heatstroke" is defined. Then, in the notification by voice using the voice output unit 23b, only the voice menu 5 or 10 corresponding to (6) is reproduced.

  It is also conceivable to notify a plurality of health information by voice. However, this makes it difficult for the user to understand the health information to be most carefully, in other words, the superiority or inferiority of the health information, and the user needs to listen to all the health information. Therefore, in one embodiment, the priority is set, and the health information based on the priority is reproduced from the voice output unit 23b.

"About the operation mode"
Next, an operation mode that can be set to the thermo-hygrometer 1 will be described. FIG. 8 shows an operation mode that can be set to the thermo-hygrometer 1. In one embodiment, six operating modes are configurable. Mode 1 is an operation mode in which health information is notified by light emission of the light output unit 23a, and the sound information is reproduced from the sound output unit 23b at a normal volume level (large volume). In mode 2, health information is notified by light emission from the light output unit 23a, and health information is reproduced from the sound output unit 23b at a volume level smaller than the normal volume level (sometimes abbreviated as small volume level as appropriate). Operation mode. Mode 3 is an operation mode for reproducing health information at a normal volume level from the sound output unit 23b without notifying health information by light emission of the light output unit 23a. Mode 4 is an operation mode for reproducing health information at a small volume level from the sound output unit 23 b without notifying health information by light emission of the light output unit 23 a. Mode 5 is an operation mode in which only notification of health information by light emission of the light output unit 23a is performed. Mode 6 is an operation mode in which notification of health information by voice and light emission is not performed. This mode 6 is, for example, a mode used when only the display unit 25 is operated when the thermo-hygrometer 1 is carried when traveling or the like. In each of these operation modes, notification of health information by display on the display unit 25 is always performed.

"About the flow of the overall processing of the temperature and humidity meter"
Next, the flow of the overall processing of the thermo-hygrometer 1 executed by the control unit 21 will be described. The control unit 21 performs control according to the illuminance detected by the illuminance sensor 22a on the notification unit 23, based on the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 22b and the humidity detected by the humidity sensor 22c.

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

When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a is equal to or higher than the threshold, the notification timing (notification frequency) of the light output unit 23a is set, for example, at an interval of once every two minutes. When a light emission color corresponding to the temperature and humidity when the notification timing has arrived is present in the table TA 20, the control unit 21 causes the light output unit 23a to emit light in the light emission color.
Further, when the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a is equal to or higher than the threshold, the notification timing of the audio output unit 23b is set, for example, at an interval of once per hour. If a voice menu corresponding to the temperature and humidity when the notification timing has arrived exists in the table TA30, the control unit 21 reproduces the voice corresponding to the voice menu from the voice output unit 23b. However, when the temperature and humidity corresponding to “danger” or “deep alert” continue to be the risk of getting heatstroke, it is set to notify at intervals of once every 30 minutes.

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

  When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a falls below the threshold and the operation mode being set is mode 1, the control unit 21 executes the control shown in FIG. 9A. That is, since the mode 1 is an operation mode for operating the light output unit 23a and the audio output unit 23b, the control unit 21 executes control of the light output unit 23a and the audio output unit 23b.

  The control unit 21 lowers the brightness (output level) and causes the light output unit 23a to emit light, when the light emission color corresponding to the temperature and humidity when the notification timing has arrived exists in the table TA20. Further, the control unit 21 changes the interval of the notification timing of the light output unit 23a so as to be as long as once per hour.

  Further, the control unit 21 controls the voice corresponding to the voice menu from the voice output unit 23b only when the voice menu set corresponding to the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30 relates to heat stroke. Reproduce. In other words, the control unit 21 adds (5), (6), (7), (9), (9), (10), (11) to the area defined by the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30. The audio output unit 23b is operated at an interval of once per hour only when it corresponds to any of the above regions. Then, the control unit 21 controls the voice output unit 23b so that notification about heat stroke is performed by the voice corresponding to the voice menu associated with the parenthesized number.

  Furthermore, the control unit 21 reduces the volume level (at a second volume level smaller than the first volume level which is a normal volume level) so that the audio corresponding to the audio menu is reproduced. Control.

  When the illuminance by the illuminance sensor 22a falls below the threshold and the operation mode being set is mode 2, the control unit 21 executes the control shown in FIG. 9B. That is, since the mode 2 is an operation mode for operating the light output unit 23a and the audio output unit 23b, the control unit 21 executes control of the light output unit 23a and the audio output unit 23b.

  The control unit 21 lowers the brightness (output level) and causes the light output unit 23a to emit light, when the light emission color corresponding to the temperature and humidity when the notification timing has arrived exists in the table TA20. Further, the control unit 21 changes the interval of the notification timing of the light output unit 23a so as to be as long as once per hour.

  Further, the control unit 21 controls the voice corresponding to the voice menu from the voice output unit 23b only when the voice menu set corresponding to the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30 relates to heat stroke. Reproduce. In other words, the control unit 21 adds (5), (6), (7), (9), (9), (10), (11) to the area defined by the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30. The audio output unit 23b is operated at an interval of once per hour only when it corresponds to any of the above regions. Then, the control unit 21 controls the voice output unit 23b so that notification about heat stroke is performed by the voice corresponding to the voice menu associated with the parenthesized number.

  In the case of mode 2, since the operation mode is to reproduce the sound at a low volume level, control regarding the volume level is not performed.

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

  The control unit 21 reproduces the voice corresponding to the voice menu from the voice output unit 23b only when the voice menu set corresponding to the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30 relates to heat stroke. . In other words, the control unit 21 adds (5), (6), (7), (9), (9), (10), (11) to the area defined by the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30. The audio output unit 23b is operated at an interval of once per hour only when it corresponds to any of the above regions. Then, the control unit 21 controls the voice output unit 23b so that notification about heat stroke is performed by the voice corresponding to the voice menu associated with the parenthesized number.

  Furthermore, the control unit 21 reduces the volume level (at a second volume level smaller than the first volume level which is a normal volume level) so that the audio corresponding to the audio menu is reproduced. Control.

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

  The control unit 21 reproduces the voice corresponding to the voice menu from the voice output unit 23b only when the voice menu set corresponding to the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30 relates to heat stroke. . In other words, the control unit 21 adds (5), (6), (7), (9), (9), (10), (11) to the area defined by the current temperature and humidity in the table TA30. The audio output unit 23b is operated at an interval of once per hour only when it corresponds to any of the above regions. Then, the control unit 21 controls the voice output unit 23b so that notification about heat stroke is performed by the voice corresponding to the voice menu associated with the parenthesized number.

  In the case of mode 4, since the operation mode is to reproduce the sound at a low volume level, control regarding the volume level is not performed.

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

  The control unit 21 lowers the brightness (output level) and causes the light output unit 23a to emit light, when the light emission color corresponding to the temperature and humidity when the notification timing has arrived exists in the table TA20. Further, the control unit 21 changes the interval of the notification timing of the light output unit 23a so as to be as long as once per hour.

  Since mode 6 is an operation mode in which the light output unit 23a and the audio output unit 23b are not operated, the control on the light output unit 23a and the audio output unit 23b as described above is not performed.

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

"About operation performed according to operation to input part"
Next, an operation performed in response to an operation on the input unit 24 will be described. Hereinafter, an operation on the input unit 24 and an operation controlled by the control unit 21 according to the operation will be described.

  When an operation to press the push switch configured as the input unit 24 is performed once, the control unit 21 determines the presence or absence of the health information according to the current temperature and humidity with reference to the table TA30. Then, when there is health information, the control unit 21 controls the voice output unit 23b to reproduce voice based on the voice menu (any of the voice menus 1 to 14 in FIG. 6) corresponding to the health information. . That is, by pressing the push switch once, health information can be reproduced by sound from the sound output unit 23b regardless of the notification timing.

  When the operation of pressing the push switch once is performed within a predetermined time (for example, 3 seconds) after the completion of the reproduction of the health information, the control unit 21 determines the currently set operation mode. Then, the control unit 21 controls the voice output unit 23b to reproduce voice based on the voice menu (any of the voice menus 15 to 20 in FIG. 6) corresponding to the currently set operation mode.

  When an operation to press the push switch is performed once within a fixed time (for example, 3 seconds) after the completion of the reproduction of the voice, the control unit 21 starts the operation mode next to the operation mode currently set. Switch to the operation mode of and set. Then, the control unit 21 controls the voice output unit 23b to reproduce voice based on the voice menu (any of the voice menus 15 to 20 in FIG. 6) corresponding to the switched operation mode. Thereafter, when the push switch is pressed within a predetermined time, the operation mode is switched, and the sound based on the sound menu corresponding to the operation mode after the switching is reproduced. When the operation is not performed within a predetermined time and the push switch is subsequently pressed, the operation (the reproduction of health information by sound) described first is performed.

  According to the embodiment described above, when the illuminance is low, the brightness of the light output unit 23a is lowered, and the volume level of the sound to be reproduced is lowered. You can prevent it from disturbing your sleep. Further, when the user is absent, the power consumption of the thermo-hygrometer 1 can be reduced, and energy saving can be realized. On the other hand, in the operation mode in which the notification by voice is performed, the notification by voice is always performed for heat stroke, so in recent years, there is a reduction in the risk of being unconsciously in the heat sleep which is a problem. it can. Furthermore, by setting the priority to the health information, it is possible to notify the user of health information that is more necessary.

  In addition, in general, when using the conventional thermo-hygrometer, when feeling the dryness of the throat or skin, or feeling the discomfort of the sensible temperature, in other words, the thermo-hygrometer is checked based on human senses It was a flow. However, according to the temperature and humidity meter 1 of one embodiment, the user can roughly know the relationship between the current environment and information on health risks by looking at the light emission color of the light output unit 23a on the front surface Then, the user can provide a new usage pattern of the thermo-hygrometer 1 that the user recognizes the detailed information by looking at the display unit 25 disposed on the back as needed.
