(Embodiment)
[composition]
A discharge data management system according to an embodiment will be described below. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the emission data management system according to the embodiment.

The discharge data management system 10 according to the embodiment includes an electric toilet seat integrated toilet bowl 20, a router 30, a server 40, and a mobile terminal 50.

In the discharge data management system 10, the electric toilet seat integrated toilet bowl 20 communicates with the server 40 by connecting to the wide area communication network 60 via the router 30. For example, the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 transmits to the server 40 discharge data regarding the user's discharge obtained by the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 . Thereby, the server 40 can manage the user's discharge data. A user can monitor the discharge data through the mobile terminal 50 by accessing the server 40 using the mobile terminal 50 in which a dedicated application program is installed.

For example, by monitoring excretion data, the user can grasp changes in various parameters related to excretion of himself or a family member who shares the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20, and can grasp changes in health condition appearing in excretion. be able to. In this way, the discharge data management system 10 can function, for example, as a watching system and provide a watching service to the user. Furthermore, if the discharge data management system 10 is introduced into a nursing facility or the like, the health condition of the user using the nursing facility can be grasped by staff members of the nursing facility or doctors of affiliated medical institutions.

Here, in order to monitor the state of emissions, emission data for emissions emitted by the same user and emissions data for emissions emitted by other users are distinguished and accumulated (i.e., stored). It needs to be done. Therefore, in the present embodiment, discharge data is stored in association with a user ID for identifying the user who has discharged the paper related to the discharge data from other users. When using discharge data to monitor health conditions, there are various reasons such as the lack of knowledge of health judgment by the user himself/herself and the inability to perform appropriate monitoring, or the user himself/herself being indifferent to his/her health condition. , there is a demand for other viewers (persons authorized to view) to monitor the health condition on behalf of the user himself/herself. Therefore, in the present disclosure, viewing data generated from the user's discharge data from the viewpoint of monitoring the health condition can be viewed by a viewing authorized person on behalf of the user himself/herself. As a result, the viewing authority can monitor the health condition based on the discharge data on behalf of the user himself/herself.

Each component of the emission data management system 10 will be described below. In the following description, feces discharged from the user will be taken as an example of excretion, but the content of the present disclosure also applies to urine discharged from the user and menstrual blood discharged from the user as excretion. can do. In addition, excrement may be called excrement.

The electric toilet seat integrated toilet bowl 20 is a multi-functional toilet bowl having functions such as a toilet cleaning function and a warm water toilet seat function. The electric toilet seat integrated toilet 20 is an example of a toilet device. The electric toilet seat integrated toilet bowl 20 specifically includes a power supply module 21 , a discharge data management module 22 , a communication module 23 and an operation panel 25 . The power supply module 21, the discharge data management module 22, and the communication module 23 are, for example, board modules independent of each other. The power supply module 21, the discharge data management module 22, and the communication module 23 are accommodated, for example, in a housing 24 attached to the main body of the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet bowl 20. As shown in FIG. Further, the operation panel 25 is installed on the wall of the private room in which the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet bowl 20 is installed.

The power supply module 21 converts AC power obtained from a power plug (not shown) included in the electric toilet seat integrated toilet bowl 20 into DC power, and supplies the DC power to other components that require power for operation. It is a board module that The power supply module 21 is realized, for example, by mounting circuit elements on a substrate. Such circuit elements include AC-DC converters, DC-DC converters, and the like. The power supply module 21 supplies power to, for example, a communication control unit included in the communication module 23 . Although not shown in FIG. 1, the power supply module 21 includes components other than the components of the discharge data management module 22 and the components of the communication module 23 (for example, the main function of the electric toilet seat integrated toilet 20). components for the flushing function and the heated toilet seat function) are also supplied with DC power.

The excretion data management module 22 is a board module for generating excretion data and transmitting (or outputting) it to an external device such as the server 40 . Specifically, the discharge data management module 22 is realized by executing a predetermined program by a processor and memory mounted on the board. The ejection data management module 22 has an acquisition section 22a, a detection section 22b, and a transmission section 22c.

The acquisition unit 22a is a processing unit that acquires sensor values obtained by sensing from the sensor 24a installed on the bowl. The acquisition unit 22a acquires a sensor value from the sensor 24a via a communication module (not shown) for communicating with the sensor 24a, converts it into a format that can be processed by the detection unit 22b, and outputs it.

Here, the sensor 24a will be explained. The sensor 24a is a device for sensing physical quantities relating to emission data of emissions. The sensor 24a is implemented using an image sensor (that is, a camera), for example, when performing sensing corresponding to the shape of the excrement. Moreover, the sensor 24a is realized by using an odor sensor when performing sensing corresponding to the odor of the discharged matter. In the emission data management system 10, the sensor 24a includes an appropriate sensor such as an image sensor and an odor sensor, depending on the content (shape, odor, etc. of the emission) measured by the detection unit 22b as the state of the emission. Realized. That is, sensor 24a may include the other sensors described above. In addition, since the user sits on the toilet seat, external light reaching the inside of the bowl (for example, illumination light of a private room in which the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 is installed) is limited. Therefore, in this embodiment, a lighting device for sensing by the image sensor is provided in the bowl. Such lighting devices are turned on after the user is seated.

The detection unit 22b is a processing unit that measures the shape, odor, and other conditions of the waste discharged by the user based on the sensor values of the waste discharged by the user. The detection unit 22b measures the state of the waste based on the image obtained from the image sensor, the odor intensity value obtained from the odor sensor, and the like.

When the sensor value is an image, the detection unit 22b measures the state of the discharged matter by image analysis. For example, the cross-sectional area and falling speed of the falling waste reflected in the image are used to estimate and measure the shape of the waste. The measurement result of the shape of the discharged material detected by the detection unit 22b is output as a numerical value indicating, for example, which stage of the seven-stage scale the shape corresponds to. The 7-step scale for evaluating the shape of excreta is known as the so-called Bristol scale, and is a scale for evaluating changes in stool shape corresponding to the length of transit time through the digestive tract by dividing it into seven thresholds. On the Bristol scale, a lower number indicates harder stool that took longer to pass through the digestive tract, and a higher number indicates a more watery stool that took less time to pass through the digestive tract. showing. It can be said that the closer the value of the Bristol scale is to the middle value (that is, 4), the healthier the shape of the stool.

On the other hand, when the sensor value is an odor intensity value, the detection unit 22b measures the state of the effluent by standardizing the sensor value by applying it to a calibration curve or the like. For example, if the amount of odorant is evaluated without distinguishing between odorants, if there are many odorants, it takes a long time to pass through the gastrointestinal tract and the intestinal bacteria proliferate. It indicates an increase, or an increase in odorants due to a large amount of undigested food that passed through the digestive tract in a short time. Therefore, it can be said that the fewer odorous substances, the healthier the stool odor and farts. In addition, when odorants are specified and evaluated by the amount of the specific odorants, the amount of odorants generated by the propagation of intestinal bacteria and the amount of odorants generated when there is a large amount of undigested food are compared. should be evaluated individually. It can be said that the less any of these odorous substances, the healthier the stool odor and farts.

In addition to these, any evaluation method for evaluating stool shape, stool odor, and farts may be applied.

The transmission unit 22c is a processing unit that transmits emission data related to the emission to an external device. The transmission unit 22c generates transmission data for transmission of discharge data, and transmits the generated transmission data to an external device via the communication module 23. FIG. For this reason, the transmission unit 22c also has a function of converting the generated transmission data into a format for transmission and reception.

The communication module 23 is a board module for the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet bowl 20 to communicate with the server 40 via the router 30 . Specifically, the communication module 23 is implemented by mounting circuit elements on a substrate. The communication module 23 has a communication section, a communication control section, and a storage section, none of which are shown.

The communication unit is a communication circuit including an antenna element and the like for the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 to communicate via the router 30.

The communication control unit performs information processing for realizing communication by the communication unit by executing the program stored in the storage unit. The communication control unit is implemented by, for example, a microcomputer, but may be implemented by a processor.

The storage unit is a storage device that stores programs executed by the communication control unit. For example, the start-up process executed by the communication control unit when power is turned on to the communication control unit is executed based on the start-up program stored in the storage unit. The storage unit is implemented by a semiconductor memory or the like.

The operation panel 25 is an interface device on which a plurality of operation buttons 25a are arranged. Each of the plurality of operation buttons 25a is assigned a switch function for executing or stopping various functions of the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20. As shown in FIG. Further, in this embodiment, the operation button 25a arranged on the operation panel 25 is used for specifying the user ID. For example, the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 accepts user authentication in order to identify the user ID. In this authentication reception, a number assigned to each of a plurality of users is displayed in advance on each of the plurality of operation buttons 25a, and the user presses the portion corresponding to the number corresponding to himself/herself. This is done by inputting the authentication information (that is, each user's number) into the operation panel 25 . The operation panel 25 identifies the user ID of the user who pressed the operation button 25a by referring to the data table that associates the authentication information with the user ID using the input authentication information. In the following, the number of the authentication information and the user ID may be used without distinguishing between the number and the user ID, but from the viewpoint of security, the authentication information and the user ID may be different.

In addition to the above, the authentication reception is performed by performing short-range wireless communication with the electric toilet seat integrated toilet 20 using a terminal device (smartphone, tablet terminal, or dedicated portable device) owned by each user. Alternatively, biometric authentication such as face authentication using a camera installed in the private room or fingerprint authentication using a fingerprint authentication device may be performed.

The router 30 is a communication device that relays communication between the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 and the server 40 . The router 30 is installed in the same facility where the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 is installed. Router 30 is an example of a gateway. The router 30 is specifically a wireless LAN (Local Area Network) router or the like.

The server 40 is a cloud server installed outside the facility where the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 is installed. The server 40 is operated by, for example, a manufacturer of the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 and provides the above-described monitoring service and the like by communicating with the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 . Server 40 in the present embodiment includes first acquisition section 41 , second acquisition section 42 , storage section 43 , and output section 44 .

The first acquisition unit 41 acquires a user ID for distinguishing one user of the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 from other users. Acquiring a user ID is an operation of acquiring user ID information via communication from a private room in which the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 is installed. In this embodiment, the first acquisition unit 41 is configured as one function on the server 40 that acquires the user ID included in the transmission data together with the discharge data. Moreover, as long as the user ID can be provided to the storage device 46 installed in the server 40 in the end, the first acquisition unit 41 may be configured in any way. For example, the first acquisition unit 41 can be implemented as one device that operates in a private room in which the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 is installed. In this case, for example, the first acquisition unit 41 is integrated with the function of the transmission unit 22c that acquires the user ID and generates transmission data.

The second acquisition unit 42 acquires discharge data related to the user's discharge, which is obtained by the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 . Acquisition of discharge data is an operation of acquiring discharge data information via communication from a private room in which the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 is installed. In this embodiment, the second acquisition unit 42 is configured as one function on the server 40 that acquires the discharge data included in the transmission data. Moreover, the second acquisition unit 42 may be configured in any way as long as it can finally provide the discharge data to the storage device 46 installed in the server 40 . For example, the second acquisition unit 42 can be realized as one device that operates in a private room in which the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 is installed. In this case, for example, the second acquisition unit 42 may be integrated with the function of the transmission unit 22c that acquires the discharge data and generates the transmission data, or acquires the sensor value from the sensor 24a and generates the discharge data. It may be integrated with the detection unit 22b that detects the state of the discharge corresponding to the parameter.

The storage unit 43 is a device that stores a data set in which the acquired user ID and discharge data are linked. It can be said that the storage unit 43 associates and stores the acquired user ID and the discharge data of the user corresponding to the user ID for each individual user in a group composed of a plurality of users. However, there are also data sets (including user IDs and discharge data that are associated with each other) that are excluded from groups and stored individually according to permission data, which will be described later.

The storage unit 43 also stores various data including programs executed by the server 40 and discharge data. The storage unit 43 is implemented by a semiconductor memory or the like.

The output unit 44 generates and outputs browsing data, which is information for browsing by the user or authorized person, from the output data stored in the storage unit 43 . The details of the output unit 44 will be described later together with the description of the operation of the discharge data management system 10 .

The mobile terminal 50 is a mobile information terminal owned by the user (or the user's family member, etc.) of the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20, and is specifically a smartphone, tablet terminal, or the like. As described above, the user can use the mobile terminal 50 to access the server 40 and monitor the record of discharge data and the like through the mobile terminal 50 . The user can also set personal settings such as the temperature of the toilet seat and the strength of the shower using the mobile terminal 50 as a user interface.

[motion]
The operation of the discharge data management system 10 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 7. FIG. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the operation of the emission data management system according to the embodiment. Here, as the operation of the discharge data management system 10, the operation of the electric toilet seat integrated toilet bowl 20 will be mainly described. Also, referring to FIG. 4, which will be described later, the operation of storing the transmitted data in the storage device 46 and generating and outputting the browsing data will be described. On the other hand, since the method of using the transmitted data, etc., differs depending on the operational purpose of the emission data management system 10, a description thereof will be omitted here.

First, the user's entry into the private room in which the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 is installed is detected by the human sensor or the like of the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 (S101). Then, the electric opening/closing lid of the electric toilet seat integrated toilet bowl 20 is opened, and the toilet seat becomes ready for sitting. At the time when the user enters the room, sensors for sensing excreta such as the sensor 24a are not activated, but these sensors are activated when the toilet seat becomes available (S102). The activation timing of the sensor 24a is not limited to this. In the case of standing urination, the sensor may be activated when the toilet seat is opened. In addition, along with the activation of the sensor, the lighting device for sensing in the image sensor is turned on. Although not described in detail, the image sensor may also be used to determine the color of the emissions contained in the emissions data. A light source close to the light color is selected. In addition, since the electric toilet seat integrated toilet bowl 20 may be used at night, in addition to the lighting device for sensing by the image sensor, a lighting device for illuminating the inside of the bowl from the viewpoint of visibility is provided. It may be turned on before the lighting device for sensing is turned on. For such a lighting device from the viewpoint of visibility, a light source with a warm color (low color temperature) is selected so as not to induce awakening of the user. The lighting device may be the same lighting device that automatically changes from warm to white.

Next, the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 starts accepting user authentication (S103). Authentication reception is performed depending on which of the plurality of operation buttons 25a is pressed as described above. Also, when two or more operation buttons 25a are pressed, such as when the user accidentally presses the operation button 25a, the user ID of the user is obtained using the authentication information transmitted according to the operation button 25a that was last pressed. It may be acquired.

Then, when the transmission unit 22c generates transmission data, the user ID is identified from the input authentication information, and transmission data including the identified user ID is generated. Authentication acceptance continues until the user finishes discharging (leaving the private room or leaving the toilet seat). This allows the user to input the authentication information to the emission data management system 10 at any timing.

When the user sits on the toilet seat and starts emptying, the acquisition unit 22a acquires the sensor value from the sensor 24a (S104). Acquisition of sensor values is performed over time, and continuous sensor values are acquired in the time domain. The detection unit 22b measures the state of the discharge based on the sensor value (S105). The detection unit 22b measures the state of the discharged matter over time, and outputs continuous measurement results corresponding to continuous sensor values. Then, the detection unit 22b outputs various parameters of the discharge data as measurement results.

Then, the transmission unit 22c generates transmission data (S106), and transmits the discharge data to the server 40 as at least part of the information included in the transmission data (transmission step, S107).

Here, FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of transmission data transmitted and received in the discharge data management system.

As shown in FIG. 3, the transmission data transmitted by the transmission unit 22c in the present embodiment includes, in addition to the user ID, the date and time when the discharge was performed, the type of discharge, the shape of the discharge, and the discharge. the amount of waste, the color of the waste, the smell of the waste, the time required from sitting to the start of discharge, the time for washing the bottom before discharging, and the time for washing the bottom after discharging. Contains parameters related to emissions. Other parameters include the thickness of excreta, whether or not excretion is interrupted, the time from entering the room to being seated, the time from entering the room to opening the toilet seat, whether the toilet seat is opened or closed, and the time from when the toilet seat is opened to the start of urination. Time, bidet cleaning time, odor component, odor intensity are considered.

When the server 40 receives the transmission data, it operates as shown in FIG. FIG. 4 is a flow chart of data management operation of the discharge data management system according to the embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the transmission data is received, the server 40 refers to the description corresponding to the user ID in the transmission data, and the first acquisition unit 41 acquires the user ID (first acquisition step, S201), The second acquisition unit 42 acquires the discharge data (second acquisition step, S202). These steps S201 and S202 may be performed sequentially or in parallel. Furthermore, the order is not limited, and the processes may be performed in an order different from the above.

Next, the storage unit 43 stores a data set in which the user ID and the ejection data are linked (stored in the memory element) (storage step, S203).

After that, the output unit 44 generates browsing data for transmission to the mobile terminal 50 of the person who has the authority to browse the various data sets stored in the storage unit 43 (output step). Specifically, steps S204 to S209 are performed in the output step.

First, the output unit 44 determines whether the content of the discharge data stored in the storage unit 43 is abnormal. This determination is based on whether or not a predetermined condition set in accordance with the content set as "abnormal" in the emission data management system 10 is satisfied. That is, the output unit 44 determines whether or not the discharge data satisfies a predetermined condition (S204). If it is determined that the discharge data satisfies the predetermined condition (Yes in S204), it means that there is an abnormality in the discharge data. Generate and output (S205). The third viewing data is output to the mobile terminal 50 owned by the viewing authority. A viewing authority will be described later.

For example, a push notification such as that shown in FIG. 5 is sent to the mobile terminal 50 of the viewing authority and displayed on the screen or the like. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of third browsing data of the emission data management system according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 5, the notification from the emission data management system 10 is displayed in the forefront so as to overlap the work screen of the person authorized to view, so that the person authorized to view can grasp the occurrence of an abnormality. The details can be confirmed by an additional operation such as pressing a "confirm" button.

Returning to FIG. 4, the predetermined conditions in step S204 will be described. The predetermined condition here is a standard set according to the content set as "abnormal" in the discharge data management system 10 as described above. Therefore, the predetermined conditions are different conditions depending on the purpose of managing and operating the emission data management system 10 .

The following is an example of the predetermined conditions. For example, when the number of times urine is discharged in one day exceeds the reference number of times, the output unit 44 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied. In this way, when the abnormal number of discharges occurs within a certain period of time, the output unit counts the number of discharges within a predetermined period in the past, going back from the latest discharge data. , and a reference number of times to determine whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. Then, the third browsing data is generated and output, which notifies the user of the occurrence of the abnormality and includes a suggestion message such as "You use the toilet too often. Let's consult a doctor."

Also, for example, when discharge data related to discharge of menstrual blood is not stored even after a reference period such as 3 days or 1 week from the expected date of menstruation, the output unit 44 determines that a predetermined condition is satisfied. In this way, in the event that an abnormality is detected in discharges that are performed periodically because the scheduled date has passed significantly, the output unit stores the latest discharge data and the scheduled next discharge data. It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied based on the fact that discharge data is not stored within a predetermined period from the scheduled date. Then, the third browsing data is generated and output, which notifies the occurrence of the abnormality and includes a message about the situation such as "Three days (or one week) have passed since the expected date of menstruation."

Also, for example, when discharge data relating to the discharge of muddy, liquid, and black feces is stored, the output unit 44 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied. In this way, when an abnormal value of a specific parameter included in the emission data is determined to be abnormal, the output section satisfies the predetermined condition by comparing the parameter in the latest emission data with the abnormal value reference. Determine whether or not Then, third browsing data including a suggestion message such as "Do you have abdominal pain, fever, vomiting, nausea, etc.? Let's consult a doctor as soon as possible." is generated and output.

Also, for example, when the interval between the discharge of a certain flight and the discharge of the next flight exceeds the maximum interval in the past, the output unit 44 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied. In this way, if the interval between two emission data relating to emissions of the same system is too long to determine an abnormality, the output unit compares the interval between the latest two emission data with the past maximum interval, It is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. Then, the third browsing data including a message about the situation such as "There is no defecation record for 4 days since the last defecation" is generated and output while notifying the occurrence of the abnormality.

Also, for example, when the most recent stool type (for example, 4 classifications such as constipation type, diarrhea type, standard type, mixed type, etc.) differs from the statistical stool type trend in the past predetermined period of time. Then, the output unit 44 determines that the predetermined condition is satisfied. In this way, when the statistical state of emissions within a predetermined period in the past and the state of latest emissions differ from each other as an abnormality, the output unit outputs and a statistical discharge state calculated from discharge data for a predetermined period in the past, it is determined whether or not a predetermined condition is satisfied. In addition to notifying the occurrence of abnormalities, "Constipation type has changed to standard type. You are in good condition." and "Constipation type has changed from standard type to constipation type. A third viewing data containing a message about the situation is generated and output.

Returning to the description of FIG. 4, after step S205 and when it is determined that the discharge data does not satisfy the predetermined condition (No in S204), the process proceeds to step S206. In step S<b>206 , the output unit 44 determines whether or not the user's own request for viewing the discharge data of the user (first viewing request) has been received. The output unit 44 determines whether the viewing request is the first viewing request by determining whether the viewing request is accompanied by the user ID. When the output unit 44 determines that the first browsing request has been received (Yes in S206), the output unit 44 generates and outputs first browsing data (S207). The first browsing data is output to the mobile terminal 50 owned by the user corresponding to the user ID accompanying the first browsing request.

For example, a screen such as that shown in FIG. 6 is displayed on the user's mobile terminal 50 . FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of first browsing data of the emission data management system according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 6, in the first browsing data, all the various parameters included in the corresponding user's emission data can be browsed without being processed.

Returning to the description of FIG. 4, after step S207 and when the output unit 44 determines that the first viewing request has not been received (No in S206), the process proceeds to step S208. In step S208, the output unit 44, for example, makes a request (second access request) is received. The output unit 44 determines whether or not the viewing request is the second viewing request by determining whether or not the viewing request is accompanied by the viewing authority ID. When the output unit 44 determines that the second browsing request has been received (Yes in S208), the output unit 44 generates and outputs second browsing data (S209). The second viewing data is output to the mobile terminal 50 owned by the viewing authority corresponding to the viewing authority ID associated with the second viewing request.

For example, a screen such as that shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the mobile terminal 50 of the viewing authority. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of second browsing data of the emission data management system according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 7, in the second browsing data, what the person authorized to browse can browse is the degree of health estimated from the discharge data, which corresponds to the user ID associated with the discharge data. It is only the health level of the user. Specifically, in the second browsing data, the user name (user 1 to user 4) for specifying the user who discharged, and the health level of each user (based on the discharge data, the calculated according to the management policy, etc.) can be browsed. On the other hand, the direct parameters included in emissions data are not included and are not viewable.

For example, if the viewing authority is a user different from himself/herself, the user, even if he or she is the viewing authority, feels mental resistance to having parameters such as the shape or amount of the excrement viewed. There is By doing so, it is possible to monitor the health levels of the users in the group while suppressing the mental resistance of the users. In addition, if the viewer is the person himself (for example, presses the "My detailed data" button in FIG. 7), or if there is a relationship between users with little emotional resistance, parameters may be viewable.

Here, it is preferable that settings such as permitting or not permitting the viewing of data (that is, the second viewing data) by the viewing authority between the viewing authority and individual users are possible. For example, since it is possible to self-manage it, it is not necessary to have it viewed by a person authorized to view it, or if there is a psychological resistance to viewing by a person authorized to view it from the viewpoint of privacy. In order to restrict, it is assumed that the functionality of the above permissions will be required. Therefore, for example, permission data indicating whether or not to permit the output of the second browsing data to the person authorized to browse is stored in the storage unit 43 in association with the data set.

For the permission data, for example, an application for obtaining permission for output of the second browsing data is made from the viewing authority side to the browsed person on the application of the mobile terminal 50, and the browsed person side When this application is permitted, permission data permitting the output of the second browsing data is stored in association with the user ID. Data sets stored in the storage unit 43 thereafter (or before that) are associated with permission data that permits the output of the second browsing data. On the other hand, if the application is rejected, permission data that does not permit the output of the second browsing data is stored in association with the user ID. Data sets stored in the storage unit 43 thereafter (or before that) are associated with permission data that does not permit the output of the second browsing data.

It should be noted that the permission data may be requested from the person being viewed to the person authorized to view it. In this case, permission data for permitting the output of the second browsing data is stored in association with the user ID on the viewing authority side even if the application is not permitted. However, the viewing authority side may be able to refuse the application, and if the viewing authority side refuses the application, the permission data that does not permit the output of the second browsing data is associated with the user ID. remembered. In addition, when there are a plurality of viewing authorized persons, permission data may be stored for each viewing authorized person. In other words, permission data is stored for each combination of individual user IDs and user IDs of persons authorized to browse.

A user associated with permission data that does not permit the output of the second viewing data is excluded from the group that the viewing authority can view, and when the second viewing data is generated, the user's data is the second viewing data will not be included in In this way, it is possible for the user to selectively allow or disallow the output of the second browsing data.

Returning to FIG. 4, after step S209 and when the output unit 44 determines that the second viewing request has not been received (No in S208), the process ends.

As described above, in the present embodiment, viewing data generated from the user's discharge data from the viewpoint of monitoring the health condition can be viewed by a viewing authorized person on behalf of the user himself/herself. . As a result, it is possible for the person with viewing authority to monitor the health condition based on the discharge data instead of the user himself/herself, so that the discharge data can be managed more appropriately.

[Effects, etc.]
As described above, the discharge data management system 10 according to the first aspect acquires a user ID for distinguishing one of the users of the electric toilet seat-integrated toilet 20 used for processing waste from other users. 1 acquisition unit 41, a second acquisition unit 42 that acquires discharge data related to the user's discharge obtained by the electric toilet seat integrated toilet 20, and for each individual user in a group composed of a plurality of users, and a storage unit 43 that associates and stores the user ID and the output data of the user corresponding to the user ID, and an output unit 44. The output unit 44 outputs: is received, the first viewing data is generated based on the discharge data linked to the user ID stored in the storage unit 43 and output to the user, and (b) viewing set in the group When the second viewing request with the authority ID is received, based on one or more discharge data linked to each of one or more user IDs corresponding to all users in the group stored in the storage unit 43 The second viewing data is generated and output to the viewing authority corresponding to the viewing authority ID.

In such a discharge data management system 10, it is possible for a viewing authority to view viewing data generated from the user's discharge data in terms of monitoring the health condition on behalf of the user himself/herself. As a result, it is possible for the person with viewing authority to monitor the health condition based on the discharge data instead of the user himself/herself, so that the discharge data can be managed more appropriately.
