Description

Bidet with external communication terminal {BIDET HAVING EXTERNAL COMMUNICATION TERMINAL}

The present invention relates to a bidet equipped with an external communication terminal, and more specifically, the urine analysis and body fat analysis result and the operation state of the bidet measured by the bidet while using all the bidet functions are externally controlled using an external communication terminal. The present invention relates to a bidet having an external communication terminal for transmitting and receiving to a personal communicator (PC), a telephone modem, a home network, and a high-speed Internet communication network.

In general, a bidet developed in the related art mostly performs a simple bidet function regardless of a user's physical condition and environment. That is, conventional bidets only performed a universal function for clean toilet culture and personal hygiene. Nevertheless, the price of conventional bidets is generally very high, which makes it difficult for users to use bidets in general. In addition, conventional bidets have almost no function in preventing the disease of the individual through personal hygiene and medical examination for the user.

Therefore, when a user wants to prevent various unexpected situations and systematic body type management by performing excessive weight loss, a separate body fat analyzer has to be purchased. However, such a conventional situation has a problem in that the user is not only inconvenient to purchase, but also incurs an economic burden by having to purchase a bidet and a body fat analyzer in duplicate.

As a result, the applicant has proposed a bidet with a urine analysis and body fat measurement function in Korean Patent No. 404515. The bidet disclosed in the above-described Korean Patent No. 404515 is a bidet that analyzes the urine that is excreted while using all the bidet functions, analyzes the health of the user, and adjusts the obesity and the diet by measuring the body fat of the user.

However, although the bidet disclosed in the Republic of Korea Patent No. 404515 is added to the urine analysis and body fat measurement function, it was not possible to transmit and receive the test results or the operation state of the bidet to the outside. In other words, there was no function to connect a home network, a high-speed Internet network, a telephone modem, and a personal computer and bidet. Therefore, according to the bidet disclosed in the Republic of Korea Patent No. 404515, the result of the urine test and body fat measurement results of the user and the operation data of the bidet to the external communication network and system, that is, the external PC, high-speed Internet communication network, home network and telephone It was inconvenient because it could not be shared with the modem, which resulted in a problem that the detailed analysis and long-term management of bidet data through separate PC-specific software were impossible.

Therefore, the present invention has been devised to solve such a problem, and the object of the present invention is to use urine analysis and body fat analysis results and the operation state of the bidet measured by the bidet while using all the bidet functions through an external PC. It is to provide a bidet with an external communication terminal that enables long-term and accurate analysis and management through PC-specific software.

Another object of the present invention is to enable all data transmission and reception between PC, telephone modem, home network and high-speed internet communication network and bidet while using all the bidet functions. The present invention provides a bidet having an external communication terminal for sharing a state with an external communication network and a system.

In order to achieve the above object, a bidet having an external communication terminal of the present invention includes an AC / DC conversion unit for receiving power from an A / C power supply unit and converting the power into a DC power source, and a first switch unit for driving the bidet. And displaying a first micom outputting a control signal by the operation of the first switch unit, a bidet device unit performing a bidet function under the control of the first micom, and an operation state of the first switch unit and the bidet device unit. The first display unit, the urine analyzer device for analyzing data due to chemical changes appearing in the urine analysis strip, and the body fat for measuring the body fat by converting the impedance value when the current flows in contact with the human body to a plurality of electrode sensors In the bidet composed of the analysis unit,

The bidet is connected to the first microcomputer in a serial communication manner to transmit data when the data is received from the first microcomputer to the outside, and to receive the data from the outside, and outputs the first external interface unit to the first microcomputer. Further provided;

An external communication terminal may further include an external communication terminal that performs an interface function to enable data transmission and reception between an external PC, a telephone modem, a home network, a high-speed internet communication network, and the first external interface unit.
