At this time, the control device 20 is in the automatic operation mode, detects the cloth amount or the cloth quality at the start of the operation, and automatically sets the operating conditions according to the detection result (for example, the washing water level, the number of times or time of each step, the roller Rotation speed, etc.).

Further, the control device 20 operates the lock mechanism 12 during operation to lock the door 11 to the closed state, and releases the lock of the lock mechanism 12 when the operation is completed.

Next, in the above configuration, the user can operate the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 to set the operation mode of the laundry drying by remote operation. That is, the user operates the tablet terminal 6 in the home to perform the setting operation of setting the operation mode of the laundry drying, and when the setting is performed, When the communication operation is performed, the tablet terminal 6 transmits the content set by the user to the home gateway 2 as setting information.

When the home gateway 2 receives the setting information from the tablet terminal 6, the received setting information is transmitted to the server 8 via the Internet 7. When the server 8 receives the setting information from the home gateway 2 via the Internet 7, the received setting information is temporarily memorized.

Then, the server 8 sends the stored setting information to the home gateway 2 via the Internet 7. When the home gateway 2 receives the setting information from the server 8 through the Internet 7, if the power of the body 10 of the washer dryer 3 is turned on, and the Bluetooth line is connected to the washer dryer 3 In this case, the established data communication form is connected, and the setting information is sent to the washing and drying machine 3.

Further, when the user operates the mobile phone 9 outside the home (outgoing destination) to perform the setting operation of setting the operation mode of the laundry drying, when the communication operation for transmitting the set content is performed, the mobile phone 9 The content set by the user is sent to the server 8 via the Internet 7 as setting information.

When the server 8 receives the setting information from the mobile phone 9 via the Internet 7, the received setting information is temporarily memorized. Then, the server 8 sends the stored setting information to the home gateway 2 via the Internet 7.

When the home gateway 2 receives the setting information from the server 8 through the Internet 7, the same is true in this case, if the power of the body 10 of the washing and drying machine 3 is turned on, and with the washing and drying machine 3 Blue bud line If the road is connected, it will connect the established data communication form and send the setting information to the washing and drying machine 3.

When the laundry dryer 3 receives the setting information from the home gateway 2, the operation mode of the laundry drying is set in accordance with the setting information. As described above, the user can remotely operate the washing and drying machine 3 by operating the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9, and can set the laundry drying even if the operation knob 15 of the operation panel 14 or the various buttons 16a to 16o are not operated. Mode of operation. Then, after confirming that the operation mode of the laundry drying is set, the user can start the operation in accordance with the operation mode set by the remote operation operation by operating the start/pause button 16o.

As described above, in the configuration in which the power supply of the main body 10 is turned on and off and the communication function of the communication unit 13 is turned on and off, if the power of the main body 10 is turned on and the communication function of the communication unit 13 is turned on, the washing and drying machine 3, the setting information can be received, and when the washing and drying machine 3 receives the setting information, the setting information is set to the washing and drying machine 3. However, if the power of the main body 10 is not turned on and the communication function of the communication unit 13 is not turned on, the washing and drying machine 3 cannot receive the setting information, and the setting information cannot be set to the washing and drying machine 3. In view of this, the server 8, the home gateway 2, and the washer-dryer 3 perform the processing shown below.

Next, the action of the above structure will be described with reference to Figs. 5 to 9 .

First, the user operates the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 to perform a setting operation of setting the operation mode of the laundry drying. When performing a communication operation for transmitting the set content, the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 will The content set by the user is sent to the server 8 as setting information. this At this time, the setting information transmitted from the tablet terminal 6 is received by the server 8 via the home gateway 2, and the setting information transmitted from the mobile phone 9 is directly received by the server 8.

When the server 8 receives the setting information from the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 (step A1: YES), the received setting information is temporarily memorized (step A2), and the memory period is started from the time point when the setting information is memorized. Timing (step A3). Then, the server 8 sends the stored setting information to the home gateway 2 via the Internet 7.

When the home gateway 2 receives the setting information from the server 8 through the Internet 7, it determines whether there is a connection between the laundry dryer 3 and determines whether the setting information can be sent to the laundry. Dryer 3 (step B1).

Here, if the power of the body 10 of the washer-dryer 3 is not turned on, the Bluetooth gateway is not connected between the home gateway 2 and the washer-dryer 3, so the home gateway 2 determines that the setting cannot be made. The information is sent to the washer-dryer 3 (step B1: NO), and the undeliverable signal is sent to the server 8 via the Internet 7. When the server 8 receives the undeliverable signal from the home gateway 2 via the Internet 7, it continues to memorize the setting information.

Then, the server 8 monitors whether or not the time period of the counted memory has reached a predetermined period (step A4), and monitors whether or not the communication possible signal from the home gateway 2 is received through the Internet 7 as will be described later.

Here, the predetermined period is a period that the user can arbitrarily set, and may be any period of a minute unit, an hour unit, or a unit of days. Again, in such a way When the server 8 memorizes the setting information, the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 can receive and notify (may indicate) the content of the setting information stored in the server 8.

In the washing and drying machine 3, when the control device 20 detects that the user operates the power-on button 16m to turn on the power of the body 10, the communication function of the communication unit 13 is turned on (steps C1, D1). When the communication function of the communication unit 13 is turned on and the connection procedure of the Bluetooth line is started with the home gateway 2 (steps B2, C2), the connection program start signal notifying that the connection program has started is output to the control device 20 .

When the connection program start signal from the communication unit 13 is input to the control device 20, the antenna symbol is blinked at the antenna symbol display portion 18 in order to notify the user that the connection procedure of the Bluetooth line has been started (in execution). (Step D2).

Thereby, if the user is in front of the washing and drying machine 3, the flicker of the antenna symbol can be confirmed, thereby confirming that the connection procedure of the Bluetooth line has started.

When the mutual authentication between the communication unit 13 and the home gateway 2 is normally completed, and the connection procedure of the Bluetooth line with the home gateway 2 is normally completed (steps B3, C3), the connection procedure is notified. The completed connection program end signal is output to the control device 20.

When the connection end signal from the communication unit 13 is input to the control device 20, the antenna symbol is illuminated on the antenna symbol display unit 18 in order to notify the user that the connection procedure of the Bluetooth line has been normally completed (step D3). ), report the first notification information.

Thereby, if the user is in front of the washing and drying machine 3, it can be confirmed that the antenna symbol is lit (switching from blinking to lighting), thereby confirming that the connection procedure of the Bluetooth line has been normally ended, and the laundry drying can be confirmed. The dryer 3 and the server 8 are in communication.

Next, when the control unit 20 normally connects the Bluetooth line between the communication unit 13 and the home gateway 2 as described above, the connection program in the form of a predetermined data communication is started on the Bluetooth line.

When the control device 20 normally connects the established data communication form on the Bluetooth line, the communication possible command is output to the communication unit 13, and the communication possible signal is transmitted from the communication unit 13 through the Bluetooth line to the home gateway device 2, The communication possible signal informs the server 8 of the fact that the data communication is possible.

When the home gateway 2 receives the communication possible signal from the washer-dryer 3 through the Bluetooth line, the communication possible signal is sent to the server 8 via the Internet 7.

When the server 8 receives the communication possible signal from the home gateway 2 through the Internet 7 before reaching the predetermined period during the memory period of the timer, the fact that the data communication can be performed with the washer-dryer 3 is specified. And judge whether or not the setting information is memorized at the time point (step A5).

When it is determined that the server 8 memorizes the memory information (step A5: YES), the set information in the memory is sent to the home gateway 2 via the Internet 7. When the home gateway 2 receives the setting information from the server 8 through the Internet 7, the received setting information is transmitted through the Bluetooth line. Send to the washer dryer 3.

Moreover, when the server 8 transmits the stored setting information to the home gateway 2 via the Internet 7, the setting information of the transmitted information is removed (step A6).

In the washing and drying machine 3, when the control device 20 determines that the communication unit 13 receives the setting information from the home gateway 2 through the Bluetooth line, as shown in FIG. 9, as a message indicating that the setting information is received, The character string of "acquisition setting information" indicates that the second notification information is reported in the information display unit 19 (step D4).

Thereby, if the user is in front of the washing and drying machine 3, it is confirmed that the washing and drying machine 3 receives the setting information from the server 8 by confirming the character string of "acquisition setting information".

Next, the control device 20 sets the setting information received from the server 8 via the home gateway 2 (step D5), and as shown in FIG. 9, the content of the set setting information, that is, the content is used. The contents of the operation mode of the laundry drying set by the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 are displayed on the various display units 17a to 17d (step D6).

In FIG. 9, the example is that the user operates the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9, sets the washing time to "14 minutes", sets the flushing time to "2 times", sets the washing time to "6 minutes", and will dry. The time is set to "30 points". As a result, when the user is in front of the washing and drying machine 3, the time or the number of times of each of the various display portions 17a to 17d can be confirmed, thereby confirming the contents of the operation mode of the laundry and drying.

Moreover, the control device 20 controls the user to operate the tablet terminal 6 or the line. The contents of the operation mode of the laundry drying set by the mobile phone 9 are flickered in order to distinguish the contents of the operation mode of the laundry drying set in the main body 10. Then, by operating the start/pause button 16o, the user can start the operation in accordance with the operation mode set by the remote control operation.

Further, the control device 20 sets the setting information received from the server 8 via the home gateway 2, and displays the contents of the set setting information after the various display units 17a to 17d, and the setting is also acceptable. When the user operates the start/pause button 16o, if the user changes the content of the setting information on the operation panel 14 and then operates the start/pause button 16o, the user changes the setting. The operation mode starts to operate.

With a series of processes as described above, when the user performs a communication operation for transmitting setting information by, for example, the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9, even if the power of the body 10 is not turned on, the tablet terminal 6 or The setting information sent by the mobile phone 9 is continuously stored in the server 8, and when the power of the body 10 is turned on, the server 8 sends the stored setting information to the washing and drying machine 3. Thereby, the user does not need to turn on the power of the main body 10 in advance before the user performs the communication operation for transmitting the setting information by the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9.

When the user is in the home, at the setting position away from the washing and drying machine 3, the tablet terminal 6 performs a sending operation for transmitting the setting information, and then moves to the setting position of the washing and drying machine 3. The power of the main body 10 is turned on, and by operating the start/pause button 16o, the operation can be started in accordance with the operation mode set by the remote control operation.

Moreover, when the user is outside the home, the mobile phone 9 performs a communication operation for transmitting the setting information at the outgoing place, and then contacts the relatives in the family, and asks the other party to turn on the power of the main body 10 and borrow By the operation start/pause button 16o, the operation can be started in accordance with the operation mode set by the remote control operation.

Moreover, as shown in FIG. 6, when the home gateway 2 receives the setting information from the server 8, if the power of the body 10 of the washer-dryer 3 is turned on, it is dried in the home gateway 2 and the laundry. A Bluetooth line is connected between the machines 3, so it is determined that the setting information can be sent to the washing and drying machine 3 (step B1: YES), and the received setting information is sent to the washing and drying machine through the Bluetooth line. 3.

After the communication of the setting information is completed, the communication end signal is transmitted to the server 8 via the Internet 7. When the server 8 receives the end of communication signal from the home gateway 2 via the Internet 7, the setting information of the transmitted information is eliminated (step A11).

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, in the washing and drying machine 3, when the control device 20 receives the setting information from the server 8 via the home gateway 2, it can also be determined whether the setting information has been set in the body 10 ( Step D11). When the control device 20 determines that the setting information is not set in the main body 10 (step D11: NO), the received setting information is set as shown in FIG. 5 (step D5), and the setting information of the setting information is set (step D6). .

On the other hand, if it is determined that the setting information has been set in the main body 10 (step D11: YES), the received setting information is discarded (step D12). In other words, when the user operates the panel 14 to set the setting information, the control device 20 can also set the setting information on the operation panel 14 when the setting information is received from the server 8 via the home gateway 2. The setting information becomes a priority.

Further, as shown in FIG. 8, the server 8 arrives after the start of the counting period of the memory period, and before receiving the communication possible signal from the washing and drying machine 3 via the home gateway 2, if it is determined that the time is being reached during the memory period. For a predetermined period (step A4: YES), the stored setting information is eliminated (step A21). At this time, even if the server 8 receives the communication possible signal from the washer-dryer 3 via the home gateway 2 after that, since the setting information has been eliminated, the setting information is not sent to the home gateway 2 to Laundry dryer 3. In other words, the user operates the period (valid period) during which the setting information set by the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 is valid. If the user operates the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 to set the setting information and then starts to operate, for example, a unit time of 30 minutes or the like may be used.

In other words, the actual time from the setting of the setting information by the user operating the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 to the start of the operation is considered, and the predetermined period may be set.

According to the remote control operating system 1 of the home electric appliance according to the present embodiment, even when the user performs the communication operation for transmitting the setting information by the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9, even the power of the main body 10 of the washing and drying machine 3 If it is not turned on, the setting information sent by the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9 is continuously memorized in the server 8, and when the body 10 is powered When the source is turned on, the server 8 sends the stored setting information to the washing and drying machine 3.

Thereby, before the user performs the communication operation for transmitting the setting information by the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9, it is not necessary to turn on the power of the main body 10 in advance, and the operability can be improved.

That is, regardless of the operation of setting the setting information by operating the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9, and the operation sequence of the operation of turning on the power of the main body 10, the operation can be started according to the setting information set by the remote control operation. Improve the freedom of the operation sequence.

Further, in the server 8, when the setting information of the washing and drying machine 3 is successfully transmitted, the setting information of the successful transmission is eliminated. Thereby, the server 8 can be prevented from transmitting the same setting information in advance for a plurality of times.

Further, in the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9, the setting information stored in the server 8 can be received and reported. Thereby, the user can confirm the setting information stored in the server 8, that is, the setting information sent to the washing and drying machine 3 when the power of the main body 10 is turned on can be confirmed.

Moreover, not only the setting information stored in the server 8 but also the setting information stored in the server 8 can be deleted, or the content of the setting information can be changed.

Further, in the washing and drying machine 3, when the setting information is set in the main body 10, if the setting information from the server 8 is received, the received setting information is discarded, so that the setting information set in the main body 10 is Priority is given, and when the start/pause button 16o is operated, the operation is started in accordance with the setting information that has been set in the body 10.

Thereby, the setting information set by the user on the operation panel 14 of the washing and drying machine 3 can be prioritized over the setting information set in the tablet terminal 6 or the mobile phone 9.

Moreover, in the washing and drying machine 3, when the power of the body 10 is turned on and the connection procedure of the Bluetooth line is started with the home gateway 2, the antenna symbol is blinked, and when it is blue with the home gateway 2 When the connection procedure of the bud line is normally completed and communication with the server 8 is possible, the antenna symbol is illuminated.

Thereby, the user can confirm the connection procedure of the Bluetooth line with the home gateway 2 by confirming the flicker of the antenna symbol, and confirm the washing and drying machine 3 by confirming the lighting of the antenna symbol. The setting information from the server 8 can be received. As described above, the operability can be further improved by reporting the change in the communication state of the washer-dryer 3 one by one.

Further, when the setting information from the server 8 is received in the washing and drying machine 3, a character string indicating "acquisition setting information" indicating that the setting information is received is displayed on the information display portion 19, and will be via the home gateway. 2. When setting information received from the server 8 is set, the contents of the set setting information are displayed on the various display units 17a to 17d.
