Problems solved by technology

In this way, although the light detection sensor and the transmission part are located near the toilet seat and the toilet lid opening switch, the user cannot intuitively operate the switch because the user's hand movements are different when operating.
[0008] Furthermore, in the speech synthesis device of Patent Document 2, the proximity illuminance sensor is disposed separately from the drive switch, so the user cannot perform intuitive non-contact input using the proximity illuminance sensor.

Abstract

The invention provides a toilet seat apparatus. The toilet seat apparatus (100) can conduct a contact operation and a non-contact operation, and can be operated intuitively. The toilet seat apparatus includes a body (200) and a remote controller (400,1400), wherein the remote controller includes: a first switch (415,416,1415,1416), a second switch (443,1443), a transmission unit (439,1436 ) and a control unit. The electrical function can be performed by input directed at the first switch and the second switch. A pressure receiving plate of the first switch (410a, 1401b) is provided with a lighting portion (440a, 1401c) leading to an illuminance sensor.

Description

technical field [0001] This invention relates to a toilet seat device. Specifically, It is related with the toilet seat device provided with the remote controller which operates a main body. Background technique [0002] As a conventional toilet seat device, a toilet seat device capable of executing an electric function by contact input of a mechanical switch and non-contact input of a non-contact switch is known. For example, in the bathroom device of Patent Document 1, a toilet seat and a toilet lid opening switch are provided at the corners of the upper surface, and a transmissive portion and a light detection sensor are provided at the corners of the front surface below it. When the user wants to press the toilet seat and the toilet cover open switch and stretches his hand to the vicinity of the switch, the light detection sensor detects the hand, and the toilet seat opens. [0003] In addition, in the speech synthesis device of Patent Document 2, a proximity type illum...
