The target value display unit 208 displays "gas / target value (%)" as a title, and also displays a scale and a bar graph. The tip of the bar graph shows the degree of goal achievement on the scale.
The achievement level display unit 210 includes a level display unit 214 and a numerical value display unit 216. The level display 102 (FIGS. 4 to 6) described above is used for the level display unit 214. The numerical value display unit 216 displays a numerical value (%) together with a display of "target achievement degree" as an evaluation display for the target value.
The back button unit 212 is used for a touch input operation when returning from the gas display 204-1 to the display on the previous display screen.

<Effect of Example 4>
Even when such a display screen is provided, the level display 102 described above can be used for the evaluation display such as the achievement level, and the user can intuitively and intuitively recognize the situation such as the achievement level.

[Other embodiments]
(1) In Example 2, the degree of achievement of the water level with respect to the set bathtub water level is displayed, but the water level is not limited to such display, and the pouring amount state may be displayed with respect to the set pouring amount, or automatic hot water is displayed. In the tension mode, the elapsed time of hot water filling may be displayed as the degree of achievement with respect to the set time.
(2) Although the level display of the remote control device is illustrated in Examples 2 to 4, the level display of the present invention may be used for the display of a measuring instrument or a control device other than the remote control device.
As described above, the most preferable embodiments of the display system and the remote control device have been described. The present invention is not limited to the above description. Various modifications and modifications can be made by those skilled in the art based on the gist of the invention described in the claims or disclosed in the form for carrying out the invention. It goes without saying that such modifications and modifications are included in the scope of the present invention.

According to the present invention, it is possible to generate a level display including a fixed display and a switching display, change the switching display depending on the level, and make the user easily and intuitively recognize the level change such as the state and the achievement level.
