That is, in this example, the control section 52 functions as an information output section. The cleaner heads to clean the corresponding toilet bowl 2 in response to the cleaner terminal 20 acquiring the cleaning request information. Thereby, in the toilet management system 10 and the toilet management device 12, it is possible to prompt the cleaner to carry out cleaning at an early stage without requiring the administrator of the toilet room TR to take any trouble.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart schematically illustrating an example of a toilet management method using the toilet management system and toilet management device according to the embodiment.
The control unit 52 (computer) of the toilet management device 12 of the toilet management system 10 executes each process of the toilet management method described below based on the toilet management program 56, for example. However, a part or all of each process of the toilet management method described below may be executed based on the operation of hardware that does not require a program.

In the toilet management system 10, when the clogging detection sensor 30 of any one of the plurality of toilet devices 14 detects the clogging state of the bowl part of the toilet bowl 2, clogging information indicating the clogging state of the bowl part of the toilet bowl 2 is transmitted. The information is transmitted from the unit 34 to the toilet management device 12.

The control unit 52 of the toilet management device 12 determines whether the communication unit 50 receives the clogging information transmitted from the transmitting unit 34 and acquires the clogging information (step S101 in FIG. 3).

When the control unit 52 determines that the clogging information has been acquired, it outputs maintenance request information to the maintenance person terminal 18 (step S102 in FIG. 3).

When the maintenance person in charge receives the maintenance request information on the maintenance person terminal 18, the person in charge of maintenance goes to the corresponding toilet bowl 2 in the toilet room TR based on the maintenance request information and performs maintenance to unclog the bowl of the toilet bowl 2. Implement. After performing maintenance, the person in charge of maintenance inputs maintenance completion information from the completion information input section 32 to the transmission section 34 by operating the completion information input section 32 . The transmitter 34 transmits maintenance completion information to the toilet management device 12 in response to the maintenance completion information input from the completion information input unit 32 .

The control unit 52 determines whether the communication unit 50 receives the maintenance completion information transmitted from the transmission unit 34 and acquires the maintenance completion information (step S103 in FIG. 3).

When the control unit 52 determines that maintenance completion information has been acquired, it outputs cleaning request information to the cleaner terminal 20 (step S104 in FIG. 3).

When the cleaner receives the cleaning request information at the cleaner terminal 20, the cleaner heads to the corresponding toilet bowl 2 in the toilet room TR and cleans the toilet bowl 2 and its surroundings based on the cleaning request information.

In this manner, in the toilet management system 10 and toilet management device 12 according to the present embodiment, cleaning request information is automatically output to the cleaner terminal 20 in response to acquisition of maintenance completion information. Therefore, after maintenance is performed to unclog the bowl portion of the toilet bowl 2, it is possible to prompt the cleaner to carry out cleaning at an early stage while reducing the effort of the administrator and the like.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart schematically representing another example of the toilet management method using the toilet management system and toilet management device according to the embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 4, in this example, the control unit 52 outputs the maintenance request information to the maintenance person terminal 18 in response to the acquisition of the clogging information, and then further outputs the cleaning request information to the cleaner. It is output to the terminal 20 (steps S201 to S203 in FIG. 4). Hereinafter, steps S204 and S205 in FIG. 4 are the same as steps S103 and S104 in FIG. 3, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

In this way, this example further includes the step of outputting cleaning request information in response to acquisition of clogging information. As a result, even if the toilet bowl 2 or its surroundings become dirty when a blockage occurs, the cleaner can be urged to carry out cleaning at an early stage without requiring the administrator or the like to take any trouble. For example, when a blockage occurs, filth may remain in the bowl of the toilet 2. Furthermore, it may take a long time for a maintenance person to arrive at the site after the clogging occurs. With this toilet management method, even in such a case, it is possible to easily maintain the cleanliness of the toilet room TR.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram schematically representing a modification of the toilet management system according to the embodiment.
Components that are substantially the same in function and configuration as those in the above embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.
As shown in FIG. 5, in this example, the completion information input section 32 includes a necessity selection section 32a. The necessity selection unit 32a includes necessity information regarding the necessity of cleaning the toilet bowl 2 in the maintenance completion information. The necessity selection section 32a includes, for example, an operation section for selecting whether cleaning is necessary and an operation section for selecting whether cleaning is unnecessary. However, the configuration of the necessity selection section 32a may be any configuration that allows a person in charge of maintenance to input whether or not cleaning is necessary.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart schematically representing another example of the toilet management method using the toilet management system and toilet management device according to the embodiment.
Steps S301 to S304 in FIG. 6 are similar to steps S201 to S204 in FIG. 4, so detailed explanation will be omitted.

In this example, after performing maintenance, the person in charge of maintenance inputs maintenance completion information including necessity information into the transmitter 34 by operating the necessity selection section 32a of the completion information input section 32. The transmitter 34 transmits maintenance completion information including necessity information to the toilet management device 12.

After acquiring the maintenance completion information, the control unit 52 determines whether cleaning is necessary based on the necessity information included in the maintenance completion information (step S305 in FIG. 6).

When the control unit 52 determines that cleaning is necessary, it outputs cleaning request information to the cleaner terminal 20 (step S306 in FIG. 6). On the other hand, if the control unit 52 determines that cleaning is unnecessary, it does not output the cleaning request information to the cleaner terminal 20.

In this way, in this example, the step of outputting the cleaning request information is to output the cleaning request information when the necessity information indicates that the toilet bowl 2 needs to be cleaned, and to output the cleaning request information when the necessity information indicates that the toilet bowl 2 needs to be cleaned. This includes a step of not outputting cleaning request information if it is not required.

In this way, by outputting the cleaning request information only when cleaning of the toilet bowl 2 is required, it is possible to suppress unnecessary requests for cleaning. For example, if the person in charge of maintenance has also done the cleaning, or if the dirt is not too bad, cleaning is not necessary, so that unnecessary requests for cleaning can be suppressed. Thereby, for example, the convenience of the toilet management system 10 can be further improved.

In each of the embodiments described above, maintenance completion information is transmitted to the toilet management device 12 from the completion information input unit 32 provided in the toilet device 14.

In other words, the method of acquiring maintenance completion information by the toilet management device 12 is not limited to the above.

For example, the completion information input section 32 and the transmission section 34 may be provided separately from the toilet device 14. The maintenance completion information may be input into the toilet management device 12 from the maintenance person terminal 18, for example. In this case, there is no need to provide the completion information input section 32, etc., and the system configuration can be made simpler.

Further, the maintenance completion information may be inputted to the toilet management device 12 from the clogging detection sensor 30, for example. For example, maintenance completion information may be input from the clogging detection sensor 30 to the toilet management device 12 when the clogging detection sensor 30 detects that the clogging has been cleared from the state where the clogging has been detected. In other words, a change in the clogging information from a state in which a blockage is detected to a state in which a blockage is not detected may be used as maintenance completion information. For example, the control unit 52 may determine that maintenance completion information has been acquired when the clogging information changes from a state in which a clogging is detected to a state in which a clogging is not detected. In this case, there is no need for the person in charge of maintenance to operate the completion information input unit 32, the person in charge of maintenance terminal 18, etc., and the effort of the person in charge of maintenance can be reduced. Therefore, the convenience of the toilet management system 10 can be further improved.

In each of the above embodiments, the toilet bowl 2 is shown as a toilet device having a water receptacle. The toilet device is not limited to the toilet bowl 2, and may be, for example, the urinal bowl 4.
