Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] TECHNICAL FIELD Aspects of the present invention generally relate to a control program for a mobile information terminal and a control method for a mobile information terminal. [Background technology]

[0002] There are toilet devices that analyze excrement, such as feces, excreted in the toilet bowl and transmit the analysis results to the user's terminal (for example, Patent Document 1). In such toilet devices, for example, when the toilet device and the user's terminal are connected, the analysis results are transmitted to the user's terminal. Therefore, if the toilet device and the user's terminal are not connected, the terminal cannot obtain the analysis results, which may result in poor usability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, like components are designated by like reference numerals and detailed descriptions thereof will be omitted where appropriate.

[0016] (Toilet equipment) FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a toilet system including a toilet device according to an embodiment. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a toilet system including the toilet device according to the embodiment. FIG. 3 is a front view showing a remote control for the toilet device according to the embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, a toilet system 500 according to an embodiment includes a toilet device 100 and a mobile information terminal 200.

[0017] The toilet device 100 includes a toilet unit 10, a biological information measurement sensor 20, a control unit 30, a wireless communication unit 40, a storage unit 50, a human body detection sensor 60, and a remote control 70. The toilet device 100 is provided inside a toilet room TR.

[0018] The toilet unit 10 includes a toilet bowl 11, a toilet seat 12, a toilet lid 13, and a casing 14. The toilet bowl 11 is a Western-style seated toilet. The toilet bowl 11 includes a concave bowl portion 11a that is recessed downward. The bowl portion 11a receives waste, urine, and the like excreted by the user.

[0019] The toilet seat 12 and the toilet lid 13 are each pivotally supported on a casing 14 so that they can be opened and closed. Figure 1 shows the toilet seat 12 in a closed state and the toilet lid 13 in an open state. When closed, the toilet lid 13 covers the top of the toilet seat 12. The toilet lid 13 is provided as needed and can be omitted.

[0020] In this specification, the above, below, front, rear, right side, and left side as seen from a user sitting on the toilet seat 12 with their back to the toilet lid 13 will be referred to as "above," "below," "front," "rear," "right side," and "left side," respectively.

[0021] The casing 14 houses various functional units. The interior of the casing 14 houses, for example, an automatic opening / closing unit that automatically opens and closes the toilet seat 12 and toilet lid 13, a private parts washing unit including a nozzle for washing the user's private parts, a private parts drying unit for drying the user's private parts, and a deodorizing unit for deodorizing. These various functional units are provided as needed and can be omitted. The interior of the casing 14 also houses a control unit 30, a wireless communication unit 40, a memory unit 50, and the like.

[0022] The biological information measuring sensor 20 measures the biological information of the user. The biological information includes, for example, information about the user's pulse and the state of excrement. The biological information measuring sensor 20 is electrically connected to the control unit 30. The biological information measuring sensor 20 outputs the measured biological information to the control unit 30.

[0023] The biological information measurement sensor 20 includes, for example, at least one of a pulsation sensor and an image sensor. The pulsation sensor is provided, for example, on the toilet seat 12. The pulsation sensor includes, for example, a laser sensor. The pulsation sensor measures the pulse of a user sitting on the toilet seat 12, for example, using hemoglobin infrared reflection. The image sensor is provided, for example, inside the casing 14. The image sensor includes, for example, at least one of an area camera and a line sensor in which multiple pixels are arranged in a line.

[0024] The control unit 30 is electrically connected to the biological information measurement sensor 20, the wireless communication unit 40, the storage unit 50, and the human body detection sensor 60. The control unit 30 acquires the measurement results (biological information) of the biological information measurement sensor 20 and the detection results of the human body detection sensor 60. The control unit 30 controls the biological information measurement sensor 20, the wireless communication unit 40, and the storage unit 50. The control unit 30 controls, for example, the start and stop of measurement of biological information by the biological information measurement sensor 20. The control unit 30 is, for example, a control circuit including an IC element. There may be one or more control units 30. Furthermore, when multiple control units 30 are provided, the control units 30 may be provided collectively or distributed. The control unit 30 includes, for example, a main body control unit (DC controller), a sensor control unit (processor unit), and a wireless control unit. The start and stop of measurement by the biological information measurement sensor 20 is controlled, for example, by the main body control unit and / or the sensor control unit.

[0025] The control unit 30 acquires analytical information by analyzing the biological information acquired from the biological information measurement sensor 20. For example, the control unit 30 can acquire (estimate) information about the user's vascular age, lower limb blood circulation status, fitness level, basal metabolism, body water level, biological clock, and normal heart rate by analyzing information about the user's pulse (biological information) acquired from the pulsation sensor. In addition, the control unit 30 can analyze the state of excrement (shape, color, amount, etc.) using image data acquired from the image sensor, and further analyze the information about the state of excrement (biological information) to acquire (estimate) information about the state of the intestinal environment. The analysis of the biological information is performed by, for example, the main body control unit and / or the sensor control unit.

[0026] The control unit 30 transmits the analytical information to the user's mobile information terminal 200 via the wireless communication unit 40. The control unit 30 also stores the analytical information in the memory unit 50. The control unit 30 also erases the analytical information stored in the memory unit 50 from the memory unit 50. Storing and erasing of analytical information in the memory unit 50 will be described later. The control unit 30 may also transmit the biometric information acquired from the biometric information measurement sensor 20 to the user's mobile information terminal 200 via the wireless communication unit 40. In this case, analysis of some or all of the biometric information may be performed in the mobile information terminal 200, or may be performed in a cloud server via the mobile information terminal 200. The control unit 30 may also transmit the analytical information or biometric information to the mobile information terminal 200 via a cloud server.

[0027] The wireless communication unit 40 can connect the control unit 30 and the mobile information terminal 200 via wireless communication. The wireless communication unit 40 is electrically connected to the control unit 30. The wireless communication unit 40 is, for example, a communication module that enables communication according to the Bluetooth (registered trademark) standard, such as BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy). The wireless communication unit 40 can connect, for example, the control unit 30 and the mobile information terminal 200 located near the toilet room TR via wireless communication. The connection between the control unit 30 and the mobile information terminal 200 is disconnected, for example, when the mobile information terminal 200 is located far from the toilet room TR. Furthermore, the connection between the control unit 30 and the mobile information terminal 200 is disconnected, for example, when a disconnection request signal is transmitted from the mobile information terminal 200. The connection between the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) and the mobile information terminal 200 will be described later.

[0028] The storage unit 50 can store information output from the control unit 30. The storage unit 50 is electrically connected to the control unit 30. There may be one storage unit 50 or multiple storage units 50. Furthermore, if multiple storage units 50 are provided, the storage units 50 may be provided collectively or distributed. The storage unit 50 includes, for example, a main body storage unit, a sensor storage unit, and a wireless storage unit. The main body storage unit is electrically connected to the main body control unit. The sensor storage unit is electrically connected to the sensor control unit. The wireless storage unit is electrically connected to the wireless control unit. The storage unit 50 stores, for example, analysis information. For example, when user authentication is performed, the storage unit 50 stores the analysis information and user information that identifies the user in association with each other. More specifically, the information linking the analysis information and user information is stored, for example, in the sensor storage unit. User authentication will be described later.

[0029] Furthermore, the storage unit 50 stores identification information that identifies the mobile information terminal 200 and user information that identifies the user, in association with each other. More specifically, the information in which the identification information and user information are associated with each other is stored in, for example, the wireless storage unit. A registration mode in which the identification information and user information are associated and stored will be described later. The identification information includes, for example, at least one of an ID number, a BD address, a MAC address, and pairing information (encryption information shared by the control programs of the toilet device 100 and the mobile information terminal 200 at the time of pairing). It is preferable that the identification information includes the pairing information. For example, the mobile information terminal 200 that has received an advertising signal from the toilet device 100 issues a wireless communication request to the toilet device 100, and the toilet device 100 that has received the signal permits wireless communication, thereby establishing communication. For example, when communicating with user 1's mobile information terminal 200, if pairing information and a user number are sent when a wireless communication request is made, the toilet device 100 can determine that the connection request is from user 1's mobile information terminal 200 since the user is already paired with user 1.

[0030] The human body detection sensor 60 detects the state of the user. The human body detection sensor 60 includes, for example, at least one of a seat sensor 61 and a proximity sensor 62. The seat sensor 61 is provided, for example, on the toilet seat 12. The seat sensor 61 includes, for example, a capacitance sensor. The seat sensor 61 detects, for example, a user sitting on the toilet seat 12 and a user leaving the toilet seat 12. The proximity sensor 62 is provided, for example, inside the casing 14. The proximity sensor 62 includes, for example, at least one of a radio wave sensor and an infrared sensor. The proximity sensor 62 detects, for example, a user approaching the toilet unit 10 and a user leaving the toilet unit 10. The proximity sensor 62 detects, for example, a user entering the toilet room TR and a user leaving the toilet room TR. The proximity sensor 62 may be provided outside the casing 14.

[0031] The remote control 70 is provided, for example, on the wall surface WL of the toilet room TR. The remote control 70 is an operation unit for remotely operating various functional units housed inside the casing 14. The remote control 70 transmits signals to the control unit 30 for activating the various functional units, for example, based on an operation input to the remote control 70 by a user. Upon receiving a signal from the remote control 70, the control unit 30 controls the various functional units based on the signal. The remote control 70 is connected to the control unit 30, for example, by wireless communication. A wireless communication unit connecting the remote control 70 and the control unit 30 is provided, for example, separately from the wireless communication unit 40.

[0032] The remote control 70 has, for example, an authentication switch 71 for transmitting an authentication signal. When an operation input is made to the authentication switch 71, the remote control 70 transmits the authentication signal to the control unit 30. The control unit 30 can perform user authentication based on, for example, the authentication signal from the remote control 70. User authentication will be described later.

[0033] The mobile information terminal 200 is, for example, a smartphone or tablet terminal owned by the user, but is not limited to these and may be any terminal that the user can carry around.

[0034] The mobile information terminal 200 is pre-installed with a control program (application software) for connecting to the toilet device 100 and displaying information (for example, analysis information) transmitted from the toilet device 100.

[0035] FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the toilet apparatus and the mobile information terminal according to the embodiment in the registration mode. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the toilet device and the mobile information terminal according to the embodiment in the use mode. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) has a registration mode and a use mode.

[0036] The registration mode is a mode in which user registration can be performed. User registration involves linking identification information that identifies the mobile information terminal 200 with user information that identifies the user (e.g., a user number) and storing the linked information in the storage unit 50. The registration mode is performed in a state in which the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) and the mobile information terminal 200 are connected.

[0037] The use mode is a mode in which measurement of biological information, analysis of the biological information, and transmission of analytical information can be performed. If user registration has already been performed, user authentication can be performed in the use mode. User authentication involves identifying the user information (user number) of the user using the toilet apparatus 100 and the identification information of the user's mobile information terminal 200. By performing user authentication, for example, analytical information can be associated with the user information (user number) and the identification information of the user's mobile information terminal 200 and stored in the storage unit 50. Furthermore, by performing user authentication, for example, the toilet apparatus 100 and the mobile information terminal 200 identified by the user authentication can be selectively connected.

[0038] User authentication is performed, for example, by connecting the toilet device 100 (controller 30) and the mobile information terminal 200. In this case, the mobile information terminal 200 connected to the toilet device 100 (controller 30) transmits an authentication signal including user information (user number) registered in the mobile information terminal 200 to the toilet device 100. When the toilet device 100 receives the authentication signal, it determines that the user of the user information (user number) included in the authentication signal is using the toilet device 100. This makes it possible to identify the user information (user number) of the user using the toilet device 100 and the identification information of the user's mobile information terminal 200. User authentication using the mobile information terminal 200 will be described later.

[0039] User authentication may be performed, for example, by operating an authentication switch 71 on the remote control 70. In this case, when an operation input (e.g., selection of a user number) is made on the authentication switch 71, the remote control 70 transmits an authentication signal including user information (user number) to the toilet device 100. When the toilet device 100 receives the authentication signal, it determines that the user identified by the user information (user number) included in the authentication signal is using the toilet device 100. This makes it possible to identify the user information (user number) of the user using the toilet device 100 and the identification information of the user's mobile information terminal 200. User authentication using the remote control 70 will be described later.

[0040] The registration mode will be described in more detail below. 4, in the registration mode, the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) determines whether or not a user number selection signal has been received (step S101). The toilet device 100 (control unit 30) repeats step S101 until the user number selection signal is received (step S101: No). The user number selection signal is a signal indicating the user number selected in the mobile information terminal 200.

[0041] When the user number selection signal is received (step S101: Yes), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) associates the selected user number with the identification number of the mobile information terminal 200 that sent the user number selection signal, and stores (registers) them in the memory unit 50 (step S102).

[0042] When the user number and the identification number are associated and registered (step S102), the toilet device 100 (controller 30) transmits a registration completion signal to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S103). The registration completion signal is a signal indicating that registration has been completed.

[0043] When a user number is selected on the mobile information terminal 200, the mobile information terminal 200 transmits a user number selection signal to the toilet apparatus 100 (step S201).

[0044] When a user number selection signal is transmitted to the toilet device 100 (step S201), the mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not a registration completion signal has been received from the toilet device 100 (step S202). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S202 until the registration completion signal is received (step S202: No).

[0045] When the registration completion signal is received (step S202: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 stores (registers) the registered user number (step S203).

[0046] The usage modes are explained in more detail below. 5, in the use mode, the toilet device 100 (controller 30) determines whether the seat sensor 61 detects that the user is sitting on the toilet seat 12 (step S301). The toilet device 100 (controller 30) repeats step S301 until the seat sensor 61 detects that the user is sitting on the toilet seat 12 (step S301: No).

[0047] When the seating sensor 61 detects that the user is sitting on the toilet seat 12 (step S301: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) starts measuring biological information (step S302). As described above, the measurement of biological information is performed by the biological information measuring sensor 20, such as a pulsation sensor or an image sensor.

[0048] When the measurement of the biological information is completed (step S303), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) starts analyzing the biological information (step S304). As described above, the analysis of the biological information is performed by the controller 30. Note that if the controller 30 detects that the user has left the toilet seat 12 before the measurement is completed, the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) may, for example, stop the measurement of the biological information midway and start analyzing the biological information.

[0049] When the analysis of the biological information is completed (step S305), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) transmits the analysis information obtained by the analysis to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S306). As described above, the transmission of the analysis information is performed by the control unit 30 via the wireless communication unit 40.

[0050] The mobile information terminal 200 displays, for example, progress information of the measurement of biological information (step S401). Display of progress information will be described later.

[0051] The mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not the analysis information has been received (step S402). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S402 until the analysis information has been received (step S402: No).

[0052] When the analysis information is received (step S402: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 displays the analysis information (step S403). The mobile information terminal 200 may store the analysis information so that the analysis information can be displayed even after the connection between the toilet device 100 (controller 30) and the mobile information terminal 200 is disconnected.

[0053] In step S301, the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) may determine whether the proximity sensor 62 has detected the user's approach to the toilet unit 10, or may determine whether the proximity sensor 62 has detected the user's entry into the toilet room TR. That is, the trigger for the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) to start measuring the biometric information may be the user sitting on the toilet seat 12, the user's approach to the toilet unit 10, or the user's entry into the toilet room TR. The toilet device 100 (control unit 30) may also start measuring the biometric information once user authentication is complete. The toilet device 100 (control unit 30) may also drive the line sensor in a power-saving mode or similar, and start measuring the biometric information when a fallen object is detected. The toilet device 100 (control unit 30) may also drive the laser sensor in a power-saving mode or similar, and start measuring the biometric information when a change in output is detected.

[0054] The connection between the toilet apparatus 100 and the mobile information terminal 200 will be described in more detail below. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation when the toilet device and the mobile information terminal according to the embodiment are connected. 6, the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) transmits an activation signal to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S501). The activation signal is a signal for putting the mobile information terminal 200 into a background activation state. The background activation state is a state in which an advertising signal can be received.

[0055] When the activation signal is transmitted (step S501), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) transmits an advertising signal to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S502). The advertising signal is a signal that causes the mobile information terminal 200 to start a connection with the toilet device 100 (control unit 30).

[0056] When the advertising signal is transmitted (step S502), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) determines whether or not a connection request signal has been received (step S503). The connection request signal is a signal that causes the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) to start a connection with the mobile information terminal 200.

[0057] When the connection request signal is received (step S503: Yes), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) starts a connection with the mobile information terminal 200 (step S504). When the connection request signal is not received (step S503: No), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) does not perform step S504. In other words, when the connection request signal is not received (step S503: No), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) does not start a connection with the mobile information terminal 200.

[0058] The mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not it has received a wake-up signal (step S601). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S601 until it receives a wake-up signal (step S601: No).

[0059] When the activation signal is received (step S601: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 enters a background activation state (step S602).

[0060] When the mobile information terminal 200 enters the background running state (step S602), the mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not an advertising signal has been received (step S603). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S603 until an advertising signal is received (step S603: No).

[0061] When the advertising signal is received (step S603: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 transmits a connection request signal to the toilet device 100 (controller 30) (step S604) and starts connection with the toilet device 100 (controller 30) (step S605).

[0062] User authentication using the mobile information terminal 200 will be described in more detail below. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the toilet apparatus and the mobile information terminal according to the embodiment at the time of user authentication. 7, when connection with the mobile information terminal 200 is started (step S701), the toilet device 100 (controller 30) determines whether an authentication signal has been received (step S702). The toilet device 100 (controller 30) repeats step S702 until an authentication signal is received (step S702: No). The authentication signal is, for example, a signal including user information (user number).

[0063] When the authentication signal is received (step S702: Yes), the toilet device 100 (controller 30) identifies the user information and the identification information based on the authentication signal (step S703). More specifically, the toilet device 100 (controller 30) identifies the user information included in the authentication signal and identifies the mobile information terminal 200 having the identification information linked to the user information included in the authentication signal.

[0064] When the user information and the identification information are specified (step S703), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) transmits an authentication completion signal to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S704). The authentication completion signal is a signal indicating that user authentication has been completed.

[0065] When the authentication completion signal is transmitted (step S704), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) determines whether or not a disconnection request signal has been received (step S705). The toilet device 100 (control unit 30) repeats step S705 until a disconnection request signal is received (step S705: No). The disconnection request signal is a signal that causes the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) to disconnect the connection with the mobile information terminal 200.

[0066] When the disconnection request signal is received (step S705: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) disconnects the connection with the mobile information terminal 200 (step S706).

[0067] When a connection with the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) is started (step S801), the mobile information terminal 200 transmits an authentication signal (step S802).

[0068] After transmitting the authentication signal (step S802), the mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not an authentication completion signal has been received (step S803). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S803 until the authentication completion signal is received (step S803: No).

[0069] When the authentication completion signal is received (step S803: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 transmits a disconnection request signal (step S804) and disconnects the connection with the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) (step S805).

[0070] In this way, after executing the registration mode (i.e., when the identification information and user information are linked and stored in the memory unit 50), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) can perform user authentication to identify the user information and identification information when it receives an authentication signal in the usage mode.

[0071] User authentication using the remote control 70 will be described in more detail below. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of an operation during user authentication of the remote control of the toilet device according to the embodiment. 8, when an operation input is made to the authentication switch 71 (step S901), the remote control 70 selects user information (step S902). More specifically, when the first operation input is made, the remote control 70 selects, for example, user number 1.

[0072] When the user information is selected (step S902), the remote control 70 determines whether or not further operational input has been made to the authentication switch 71 (step S903). When further operational input has been made to the authentication switch 71 (step S903: Yes), the remote control 70 updates the user information (step S904). More specifically, when a second operational input has been made, the remote control 70 selects, for example, user number 2. When a third operational input has been made, the remote control 70 selects, for example, user number 3. When an Nth operational input has been made (N is a natural number), the remote control 70 selects, for example, user number N. In other words, when an operational input is made, the remote control 70 adds 1 to the numeric value of the user number, for example. When a further operational input is made after the numeric value of the user number has reached the upper limit, the remote control 70 selects, for example, user number 1.

[0073] After updating the user information (step S904), the remote controller 70 determines whether a predetermined time has passed since the previous operation input (step S905). If the predetermined time has not passed since the previous operation input (step S905: No), the remote controller 70 returns to step S903.

[0074] If no further operation input is made (step S903: No), the remote control 70 skips step S904 and goes to step S905. The remote control 70 repeats steps S903, S904, and S905 until a predetermined time has elapsed since the previous operation input.

[0075] When a predetermined time has passed since the previous operation input (step S905: Yes), the remote control 70 determines the user information to be included in the authentication signal and transmits the authentication signal to the control unit 30 (step S906). More specifically, the remote control 70 transmits the authentication signal including the last selected user number.

[0076] In this way, by providing a remote control 70 that transmits an authentication signal, it is possible to transmit the authentication signal (user authentication) in a manner closer to normal use than, for example, operating an operation unit provided in a location other than the remote control 70 (for example, the toilet unit 10) to transmit the authentication signal, which is easy to use.

[0077] Furthermore, the user information specified by the authentication signal is selected based on the number of times the authentication switch 71 is operated before a predetermined time has elapsed, and the authentication signal is transmitted after the predetermined time has elapsed, thereby switching the user information to be authenticated by the number of times one authentication switch 71 is operated, thereby reducing erroneous authentication.

[0078] The progress check of biological information measurement will be described in more detail below. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation in the use mode of the toilet device according to the embodiment. 9, when measurement of biological information starts (step S1001), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) transmits a measurement start signal to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1002). The measurement start signal is a signal indicating that measurement of biological information has started.

[0079] When the measurement start signal is transmitted (step S1002), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) determines whether or not a progress request signal is received (step S1003). The progress request signal is a signal that causes the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) to transmit progress information. The progress information is information that indicates the progress of the measurement of biological information. When the progress request signal is received (step S1003: Yes), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) transmits the progress information (step S1004).

[0080] When the progress information is transmitted (step S1004), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) determines whether or not the measurement of the biological information is completed (step S1005). If the progress request signal is not received (step S1003: No), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) performs step S1005 without performing step S1004.

[0081] If the measurement of the biological information is not complete (step S1005: No), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) returns to step S1003. The toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) repeats steps S1003, S1004, and S1005 until the measurement of the biological information is complete.

[0082] When the measurement of the biological information is completed (step S1005: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) transmits a measurement completion signal to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1006). The measurement completion signal is a signal indicating that the measurement of the biological information has been completed.

[0083] When the mobile information terminal 200 receives the measurement start signal, it is in a state where it can transmit a progress request signal until it receives a measurement completion signal. For example, when an operation input for displaying progress information is made on the mobile information terminal 200 while it is in a state where it can transmit a progress request signal, the mobile information terminal 200 transmits the progress request signal to the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) (step S1101).

[0084] When a progress request signal is transmitted (step S1101), the mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not progress information has been received (step S1102). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S1102 until progress information is received (step S1102: No).

[0085] When the progress information is received (step S1102: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 displays the progress information (step S1103).

[0086] The mobile information terminal 200 maintains a state in which it can transmit a progress request signal until it receives a measurement completion signal. When the mobile information terminal 200 receives the measurement completion signal, it enters a state in which it cannot transmit a progress request signal.

[0087] In this example, when the mobile information terminal 200 receives a measurement start signal, it is in a state where it can transmit a progress request signal until it receives a measurement completion signal, so that progress information is displayed on the mobile information terminal 200 only while measurement is being performed. However, the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) may transmit progress information only while measurement is being performed, so that progress information is displayed on the mobile information terminal 200 only while measurement is being performed. In other words, even if the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) receives a progress request signal when measurement is not being performed, it is not necessary for it to transmit progress information. In this case, steps S1102 and S1006 can be omitted.

[0088] The operation after the analysis of the usage mode is completed will be described in more detail below. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation in the use mode of the toilet device according to the embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, when the analysis of the biological information is completed (step S1201), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) determines whether or not user authentication has been performed (step S1202).

[0089] If the user authentication is successful (step S1202: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) determines whether or not the toilet apparatus 100 is currently connected to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1203).

[0090] If connected to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1203: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) transmits the analysis information to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1204).

[0091] If the toilet apparatus 100 is not connected to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1203: No), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) stores the analysis information in the storage unit 50 without transmitting the analysis information to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1205). At this time, the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) associates the analysis information with identification information that identifies the mobile information terminal 200, for example, and stores them in the storage unit 50. The operation after the analysis information is stored will be described later.

[0092] If user authentication has not been performed (step S1202: No), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) erases the analysis information (step S1206). That is, the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) transmits the analysis information to the mobile information terminal 200 only when user authentication has been performed.

[0093] The operation after storing the analysis information of the usage mode will be described in more detail below. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the toilet apparatus and the mobile information terminal according to the embodiment in the use mode. 11, the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) transmits an advertising signal to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1301). After transmitting the advertising signal (step S1301), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) determines whether or not a connection request signal has been received (step S1302).

[0094] If the connection request signal is received (step S1302: Yes), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) starts a connection with the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1303). If the connection request signal is not received (step S1302: No), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) returns to step S1301. In other words, if the connection request signal is not received (step S1302: No), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) does not start a connection with the mobile information terminal 200 and repeats transmitting the advertising signal.

[0095] When connected to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1303), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) determines whether or not an information request signal has been received (step S1304). The information request signal is a signal for causing the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) to transmit bioinformation or analytical information stored in the toilet device 100 (control unit 30). The toilet device 100 (control unit 30) repeats step S1304 until an information request signal is received (step S1304: No).

[0096] When the information request signal is received (step S1304: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) determines whether or not there is analysis information stored in the storage unit 50 (that is, untransmitted) (step S1305).

[0097] If there is analysis information stored in the storage unit 50 (step S1305: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) determines whether the currently connected mobile information terminal 200 is the mobile information terminal 200 of the user associated with the stored analysis information (step S1306). As described above, the analysis information is stored in association with user information, and the user information is stored (registered) in association with identification information of the mobile information terminal 200 owned by the user. Therefore, the analysis information stored in association with user information is also indirectly associated with the identification information stored (registered) in association with this user information. In other words, the stored analysis information is stored in association with identification information of the mobile information terminal 200 to which the analysis information is to be transmitted. Here, it is determined whether the currently connected mobile information terminal 200 is the mobile information terminal 200 to which the stored analysis information is to be transmitted.

[0098] If the connected mobile information terminal 200 is the mobile information terminal 200 of the user associated with the stored analysis information (step S1306: Yes), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) transmits the analysis information stored in the memory unit 50 to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1307).

[0099] After transmitting the analysis information stored in the storage unit 50 to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1307), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) erases the stored analysis information from the storage unit 50 (step S1308).

[0100] If there is no analysis information stored in the storage unit 50 (step S1305: No), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) does not perform steps S1306, S1307, and S1308. If the connected mobile information terminal 200 is not the mobile information terminal 200 of the user associated with the stored analysis information (step S1306: No), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) does not perform steps S1307 and S1308.

[0101] The mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not it is a predetermined time (step S1401). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S1401 until the predetermined time arrives (step S1401: No).

[0102] When the predetermined time arrives (step S1401: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 enters a background running state (step S1402).

[0103] When the mobile information terminal 200 enters the background running state (step S1402), the mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not an advertising signal has been received (step S1403). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S1403 until an advertising signal is received (step S1403: No).

[0104] When the advertising signal is received (step S1403: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 transmits a connection request signal to the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) (step S1404) and starts connection with the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) (step S1405).

[0105] When connection with the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) is started (step S1405), the mobile information terminal 200 transmits an information request signal (step S1406).

[0106] After transmitting the information request signal (step S1406), the portable information terminal 200 determines whether or not the analysis information has been received (step S1407). The portable information terminal 200 repeats step S1407 until the analysis information is received (step S1407: No).

[0107] When the analysis information is received (step S1407: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 displays the analysis information (step S1408).

[0108] The control unit 30 may store the biometric information in the storage unit 50. In this case, the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) may determine in step S1305 whether or not there is biometric information stored in the storage unit 50. In this case, the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) may determine in step S1306 whether or not the connected mobile information terminal 200 is the mobile information terminal 200 of the user associated with the stored biometric information. In this case, the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) may transmit the biometric information stored in the storage unit 50 to the mobile information terminal 200 in step S1307. In this case, the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) may delete the stored biometric information from the storage unit 50 in step S1308. In this case, the mobile information terminal 200 may determine in step S1407 whether or not biometric information has been received. In this case, the mobile information terminal 200 may display the biometric information in step S1408.

[0109] Thus, in the embodiment, the mobile information terminal 200 executes the acquisition step at a predetermined time. In the acquisition step, the mobile information terminal 200 enters a state (background running state) in which it is connectable to the toilet apparatus 100. Then, in the acquisition step, when the mobile information terminal 200 is connected to the toilet apparatus 100, if there is biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet apparatus 100, the mobile information terminal 200 acquires the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet apparatus 100.

[0110] At a predetermined time, the mobile information terminal 200 is caused to execute the acquisition process, so that the mobile information terminal 200 can periodically acquire the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100. This makes it possible to more reliably acquire the biometric information (analysis information) from the toilet device 100, improving usability.

[0111] In the embodiment, the predetermined time can be changed by the mobile information terminal 200.

[0112] By making it possible to change the predetermined time using the mobile information terminal 200, it is possible to set the predetermined time (i.e., the time at which the acquisition process is performed) to any time when the mobile information terminal 200 is likely to be able to connect to the toilet device 100. This makes it possible to more reliably acquire biometric information from the toilet device 100, improving usability. Furthermore, when wireless communication is performed using Bluetooth (registered trademark) standards such as BLE, the mobile information terminal 200 is connected to the toilet device 100 on a one-to-one basis. In other words, while one mobile information terminal 200 is connected to the toilet device 100, other mobile information terminals 200 may not be able to connect to the toilet device 100. By making it possible to set the predetermined time to any time, multiple users can set the predetermined time to different times, so that biometric information can be more reliably acquired in each user's mobile information terminal 200, improving usability.

[0113] The operation after storing the analysis information of the usage mode will be described in more detail below. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the toilet device and the mobile information terminal according to the embodiment in the use mode. 12, the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) transmits an advertising signal to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1501). After transmitting the advertising signal (step S1501), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) determines whether or not a connection request signal has been received (step S1502).

[0114] If the connection request signal is received (step S1502: Yes), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) starts a connection with the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1503). If the connection request signal is not received (step S1502: No), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) returns to step S1501. In other words, if the connection request signal is not received (step S1502: No), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) does not start a connection with the mobile information terminal 200 and repeats transmitting the advertising signal.

[0115] When connected to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1503), the toilet device 100 (controller 30) determines whether or not an information request signal has been received (step S1504). The toilet device 100 (controller 30) repeats step S1504 until an information request signal is received (step S1504: No).

[0116] When the information request signal is received (step S1504: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) determines whether or not there is any biological information stored in the storage unit 50 (that is, untransmitted) (step S1505).

[0117] If there is biometric information stored in the storage unit 50 (step S1505: Yes), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) determines whether the currently connected mobile information terminal 200 is the mobile information terminal 200 of the user associated with the stored biometric information (step S1506). As described above, the biometric information is stored in association with user information, and the user information is stored (registered) in association with identification information of the mobile information terminal 200 owned by the user. Therefore, the biometric information stored in association with user information is also indirectly associated with the identification information stored (registered) in association with this user information. In other words, the stored biometric information is stored in association with identification information of the mobile information terminal 200 to which the biometric information is to be transmitted. Here, it is determined whether the currently connected mobile information terminal 200 is the mobile information terminal 200 to which the stored biometric information is to be transmitted.

[0118] If the connected mobile information terminal 200 is the mobile information terminal 200 of the user associated with the stored biometric information (step S1506: Yes), the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) transmits the biometric information stored in the memory unit 50 to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1507).

[0119] After transmitting the biometric information stored in the storage unit 50 to the mobile information terminal 200 (step S1507), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) erases the stored biometric information from the storage unit 50 (step S1508).

[0120] If there is no biometric information stored in the storage unit 50 (step S1505: No), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) does not perform steps S1506, S1507, and S1508. If the connected mobile information terminal 200 is not the mobile information terminal 200 of the user associated with the stored biometric information (step S1506: No), the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) does not perform steps S1507 and S1508.

[0121] The mobile information terminal 200 determines whether the analysis process has started (step S1601). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S1601 until the analysis process has started (step S1601: No).

[0122] When the analysis process is started (step S1601: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 enters a background running state (step S1602).

[0123] When the mobile information terminal 200 enters the background running state (step S1602), the mobile information terminal 200 determines whether or not an advertising signal has been received (step S1603). The mobile information terminal 200 repeats step S1603 until an advertising signal is received (step S1603: No).

[0124] When the advertising signal is received (step S1603: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 transmits a connection request signal to the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) (step S1604) and starts connection with the toilet device 100 (control unit 30) (step S1605).

[0125] When connection with the toilet apparatus 100 (controller 30) is started (step S1605), the mobile information terminal 200 transmits an information request signal (step S1606).

[0126] After transmitting the information request signal (step S1606), portable information terminal 200 determines whether or not biometric information has been received (step S1607). Portable information terminal 200 repeats step S1607 until biometric information is received (step S1607: No).

[0127] When the biometric information is received (step S1607: Yes), the mobile information terminal 200 analyzes the biometric information (step S1608) and displays the analyzed information (step S1609).

[0128] In addition, the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) may determine in step S1505 whether or not there is analytical information stored in the storage unit 50. In this case, the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) may determine in step S1506 whether or not the connected mobile information terminal 200 is the mobile information terminal 200 of the user associated with the stored analytical information. In this case, the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) may transmit the analytical information stored in the storage unit 50 to the mobile information terminal 200 in step S1507. In this case, the toilet apparatus 100 (control unit 30) may delete the stored analytical information from the storage unit 50 in step S1508. In this case, the mobile information terminal 200 may determine in step S1607 whether or not the analytical information has been received. In this case, the mobile information terminal 200 may further analyze the analytical information to acquire the analytical information in step S1608.

[0129] Thus, in the embodiment, the mobile information terminal 200 is further capable of executing an analysis step. In the analysis step, the mobile information terminal 200 enters a state (background running state) in which it is connectable to the toilet apparatus 100. Then, in the analysis step, when the mobile information terminal 200 is connected to the toilet apparatus 100, if there is biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet apparatus 100, the mobile information terminal 200 acquires the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet apparatus 100 and displays the analysis information obtained by analyzing the acquired biometric information (analysis information).

[0130] The mobile information terminal 200 can further execute an analysis process, and in the analysis process, by acquiring the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100 before performing the analysis, the analysis information reflecting the latest biometric information (analysis information) can be displayed.

[0131] (Mobile information terminal control program) As described above, the embodiment provides a control program that is installed in the mobile information terminal 200 that can be connected to the toilet device 100 via wireless communication. As shown in Fig. 11, the control program of the mobile information terminal 200 according to the embodiment causes the mobile information terminal 200 to execute an acquisition process at a predetermined time. In the acquisition process, the mobile information terminal 200 enters a state in which it can connect to the toilet device 100 (a background running state), and, if there is biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100 when it is connected to the toilet device 100, acquires the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100.

[0132] 12, the control program of the mobile information terminal 200 according to the embodiment further causes the mobile information terminal 200 to execute an analysis step. In the analysis step, the mobile information terminal 200 enters a state (background running state) in which it is connectable to the toilet device 100, and if there is biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100 when it is connected to the toilet device 100, it acquires the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100 and displays the analysis information obtained by analyzing the acquired biometric information (analysis information).

[0133] (Recording medium) In addition, in the embodiment, a recording medium is provided on which a control program for the mobile information terminal 200 described above is recorded. The recording medium is at least computer-readable. The recording medium may be read-only, or may be both readable and writable.

[0134] (Method for controlling mobile information terminals) Furthermore, the embodiment provides a control method for a mobile information terminal 200 that can be connected to the toilet device 100 via wireless communication. As shown in Fig. 11, in the control method for the mobile information terminal 200 according to the embodiment, the mobile information terminal 200 executes an acquisition step at a predetermined time. In the acquisition step, the mobile information terminal 200 enters a state in which it can be connected to the toilet device 100 (a background running state), and, if there is biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100 when it is connected to the toilet device 100, acquires the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100.

[0135] 12, in the control method for the mobile information terminal 200 according to the embodiment, the mobile information terminal 200 further executes an analysis step. In the analysis step, the mobile information terminal 200 enters a state (background running state) in which it is connectable to the toilet device 100, and if there is biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100 when it is connected to the toilet device 100, it acquires the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100 and displays the analysis information obtained by analyzing the acquired biometric information (analysis information).

[0136] Thus, according to the control program, recording medium, and control method for the mobile information terminal 200 according to the embodiment, the mobile information terminal 200 executes the acquisition step at a predetermined time, and the mobile information terminal 200 can periodically acquire the biometric information (analysis information) stored in the toilet device 100. This makes it possible to more reliably acquire the biometric information (analysis information) from the toilet device 100, improving usability.

[0137] Embodiments may include the following features.
