Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] The automatic door device for solving the above problems includes a contact switch that outputs an opening / closing instruction for a door provided in an opening by a user's operation, a non-contact switch that outputs an opening / closing instruction for the door by a user's operation, a guide unit that guides the operation of the switch by voice, and a determination unit that identifies the target of the operation when the opening / closing instruction is output and determines the content of the voice guide by the guide unit based on the identified target. When there is an output of the opening / closing instruction from the non-contact switch, the determination unit determines the voice guidance as the operation guidance of the non-contact switch, and when there is an output of the opening / closing instruction from the contact switch, the determination unit determines the voice guidance as the operation guidance of the contact switch. The guide unit performs subsequent voice guidance based on the determination of the determination unit.

[0009] Regarding the above automatic door device, when there is an output of the opening / closing instruction from the contact switch or the non-contact switch after the voice guidance including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch has been performed, it is preferable that the subsequent voice guidance is determined as the voice guidance not including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch.

[0010] Regarding the above automatic door device, when there is an output of the opening / closing instruction from the non-contact switch before the operation guidance of the non-contact switch in the voice guidance ends, it is preferable that the subsequent voice guidance is determined as the voice guidance not including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch.

[0011] Regarding the above automatic door device, when there is an output of the opening / closing instruction from the contact switch before the operation guidance of the non-contact switch in the voice guidance ends, it is preferable that the subsequent voice guidance is also determined as the voice guidance including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0028] (First Embodiment) Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 8, a first embodiment of the automatic door apparatus will be described. The automatic door apparatus is installed in a multifunctional toilet.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 1, the multifunctional toilet 1 is a private room equipped with one entrance / exit 2, and a toilet 3 is installed in a spacious area so that it is easy for disabled people or people with children to use. An automatic door device 5 for driving and controlling a door 4 is installed at the entrance / exit 2. The door 4 is a sliding door that opens and closes the entrance / exit 2. Note that the multifunctional toilet 1 corresponds to a room. The entrance / exit 2 corresponds to an opening.

[0030] An outer door operation unit 30 for operating the opening and closing of the door 4 is installed on the outer wall of the multifunctional toilet 1. An inner door operation unit 40 for operating the opening and closing of the door 4 is also installed on the inner wall of the multifunctional toilet 1. An object detection sensor 12 for detecting people and objects passing outside the entrance / exit 2 is installed on the blind outer side of the entrance / exit 2. The object detection sensor 12 detects people and objects existing in a detection area A which is outside the entrance / exit 2 and within a predetermined range from the entrance / exit 2. The detection area A of the object detection sensor 12 is a set of small detection areas. Therefore, the object detection sensor 12 can detect the movement of people or objects within the detection area A. An auxiliary sensor 13 for detecting a person standing still inside the entrance / exit 2 is installed on the inner wall of the entrance / exit 2. An occupancy sensor 15 for detecting a user inside the private room is installed on the ceiling. Note that the object detection sensor 12 functions as a detection unit. Also, the detection area A corresponds to a predetermined range.

[0031] The outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40 have the same configuration. As shown in FIG. 2, the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40 are provided with a contact switch on the left side and a non-contact switch on the right side. The contact switch outputs an opening / closing instruction to open and close the door by a contact operation of pressing a button switch. The non-contact switch outputs an opening / closing instruction to open and close the door by detecting the user through the reflection of a detection wave. An outer open button switch 31 (inner open button switch 41) is installed at the upper left of the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40. On the surfaces of the outer open button switch 31 and the inner open button switch 41, "Open, ←→, OPEN" is described. The outer open button switch 31 and the inner open button switch 41 output an open instruction for the door 4 when the button switch is pressed by the user. An outer close button switch 32 (inner close button switch 42) is installed at the lower left of the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40. On the surfaces of the outer close button switch 32 and the inner close button switch 42, "Close, →←, CLOSE" is described. The outer close button switch 32 and the inner close button switch 42 output a close instruction for the door 4 when the button switch is pressed by the user. An outer open non-contact switch 33 (inner open non-contact switch 43) is installed at the upper right of the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40. On the surfaces of the outer open non-contact switch 33 and the inner open non-contact switch 43, "Open, ←→, OPEN" is described. The outer open non-contact switch 33 and the inner open non-contact switch 43 output an open instruction for the door 4 when the user is detected. An outer close non-contact switch 34 (inner close non-contact switch 44) is installed at the lower right of the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40. On the surfaces of the outer close non-contact switch 34 and the inner close non-contact switch 44, "Close, →←, CLOSE" is described. The outer close non-contact switch 34 and the inner close non-contact switch 44 output a close instruction for the door 4 when the user is detected. The outer open button switch 31, the inner open button switch 41, the outer close button switch 32, the inner close button switch 42, the outer open non-contact switch 33, the inner open non-contact switch 43, the outer close non-contact switch 34, and the inner close non-contact switch 44 light up or blink.In addition, an outer-opening speaker 35 (inner-opening speaker 45) is provided between the outer-opening button switch 31 (inner-opening button switch 41) and the outer-opening non-contact switch 33 (inner-opening non-contact switch 43), and the outer-closing button switch 32 (inner-closing button switch 42) and the outer-closing non-contact switch 34 (inner-closing non-contact switch 44). Note that the outer-opening button switch 31, the inner-opening button switch 41, the outer-closing button switch 32, the inner-closing button switch 42, the outer-opening non-contact switch 33, the inner-opening non-contact switch 43, the outer-closing non-contact switch 34, and the inner-closing non-contact switch 44 correspond to the operation switches of the door 4. In the button switch, a pressing operation corresponds to the user's operation, and in the non-contact switch, an operation of bringing a part of the user's body or an object close corresponds to the user's operation.

[0032] Next, with reference to FIG. 3, the electrical configuration of the automatic door device 5 will be described. The automatic door device 5 includes a door engine 11 that drives the door 4, an auxiliary sensor 13, an electric lock 14, a door controller 10 to which these devices are connected, an object detection sensor 12, and a presence sensor 15. The automatic door device 5 includes an operation controller 20 to which the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40 are connected. The door controller 10, the operation controller 20, the object detection sensor 12, and the presence sensor 15 are connected to the CAN 50. When the auxiliary sensor 13 detects, it transmits a detection signal to the door controller 10. When the object detection sensor 12 and the presence sensor 15 detect, they transmit detection signals to the door controller 10 and the operation controller 20 via the CAN 50. The door controller 10 drives and controls the door engine 11 according to the detection results of the object detection sensor 12, the auxiliary sensor 13, and the presence sensor 15. The door controller 10 includes a door control unit 10A that controls the opening and closing of the door.

[0033] The door controller 10 includes an arithmetic unit, a communication interface unit, a volatile memory unit, and a non-volatile memory unit respectively. The arithmetic unit is a computer processor, and controls the door engine 11 according to a control program stored in the non-volatile memory unit (memory medium). The arithmetic unit may implement at least a part of the processes it executes by circuitry such as an ASIC. The control program may be executed by one computer processor or by a plurality of computer processors. The door controller 10 may be configured as one or more processors that execute various processes according to a computer program (software). The processes executed by the door controller 10, that is, the processor, include the control method of the door control unit 10A. Note that the door controller 10 may be configured as one or more dedicated hardware circuits such as application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that execute at least a part of various processes, or circuitry including a combination thereof. The processor includes a CPU and memories such as a RAM and a ROM. The memory stores program codes or instructions configured to cause the CPU to execute processes. The memory, that is, the computer-readable medium, includes any available medium accessible by a general-purpose or dedicated computer.

[0034] The operation controller 20 includes an arithmetic unit, a communication interface unit, a volatile memory unit, and a non-volatile memory unit respectively. The arithmetic unit is a computer processor, and controls the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40 according to a control program stored in the non-volatile memory unit (memory medium). The arithmetic unit may implement at least a part of the processing it executes by circuitry such as an ASIC. The control program may be executed by one computer processor or by a plurality of computer processors. The operation controller 20 may be configured as one or more processors that execute various processes according to a computer program (software). The processes executed by the operation controller 20, that is, the processor, include a control method for the automatic door device 5. The control method for the automatic door device 5 includes a specific step, a determination step, and a guidance step, which will be described later. Note that the operation controller 20 may be configured as one or more dedicated hardware circuits such as application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) that execute at least a part of various processes, or circuitry including a combination thereof. The processor includes a CPU and memories such as a RAM and a ROM. The memory stores program codes or instructions configured to cause the CPU to execute processes. The memory, that is, the computer-readable medium, includes any available medium accessible by a general-purpose or dedicated computer. The program stored in the computer-readable medium includes a control program for the automatic door device 5. The control program for the automatic door device 5 causes the computer to execute a specific step, a determination step, and a guidance step.

[0035] The operation controller 20 includes an operation control unit 21, a storage unit 22, and a determination unit 23. The storage unit 22 stores voice data of operation guidance and caution messages according to each situation. The determination unit 23 determines the content of the voice guidance by the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45. When there is an output of an opening / closing instruction from the contact switch or the non-contact switch, the determination unit 23 identifies whether the target of the user's operation is the contact switch or the non-contact switch. Then, when the identified target is the contact switch, the determination unit 23 determines that the guidance by the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45 is the guidance associated with the operation of the contact switch. Also, when the identified target is the non-contact switch, the determination unit 23 determines that the guidance by the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45 is the guidance associated with the operation of the non-contact switch. The operation control unit 21 provides operation guidance for the operation switch by outputting voice from the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45. The operation control unit 21 provides operation guidance when the object detection sensor 12 is in a detection state. The outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45 provide subsequent voice guidance based on the determination of the determination unit 23. Note that the operation control unit 21, the outer speaker 35, and the inner speaker 45 function as a guidance unit.

[0036] When the outer open button switch 31 detects a pressing operation, it outputs an outer open contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the outer close button switch 32 detects a pressing operation, it outputs an outer close contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the outer open non-contact switch 33 detects a user, it outputs an outer open non-contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the outer close non-contact switch 34 detects a user, it outputs an outer close non-contact instruction to the operation controller 20. The operation controller 20 outputs the opening / closing instructions of the outer open button switch 31, the outer close button switch 32, the outer open non-contact switch 33, and the outer close non-contact switch 34 to the CAN 50.

[0037] When the inside-opening button switch 41 detects a pressing operation, it outputs an inside-opening contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the inside-closing button switch 42 detects a pressing operation, it outputs an inside-closing contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the inside-opening non-contact switch 43 detects a user, it outputs an inside-opening non-contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the inside-closing non-contact switch 44 detects a user, it outputs an inside-closing non-contact instruction to the operation controller 20. The operation controller 20 outputs opening / closing instructions of the inside-opening button switch 41, the inside-closing button switch 42, the inside-opening non-contact switch 43, and the inside-closing non-contact switch 44 to the CAN 50.

[0038] When the object detection sensor 12 is in a detection state, the door control unit 10A controls the opening and closing of the door 4 based on an opening / closing instruction from the outside door operation unit 30. Further, when it is estimated that a person or an object detected by the object detection sensor 12 is moving toward the entrance / exit 2, the door control unit 10A controls the opening and closing of the door 4 based on an opening / closing instruction from the operation switch. That is, the purpose is to control the opening and closing of the door 4 only when the user is in the multifunctional toilet 1.

[0039] The determination unit 23 acquires the elapsed time since the start of the voice guidance from the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45, and determines the content of the voice guidance according to the timing of the output of the opening / closing instruction from the operation switch with respect to the elapsed time. The operation control unit 21 selects the voice data of the guidance message from the storage unit 22 based on the determination of the determination unit 23 and outputs it from the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45. The voice data includes non-contact operation guidance including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch and normal operation guidance not including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch. For example, the non-contact operation guidance is obtained by adding the operation guidance of the non-contact switch to the normal operation guidance. The normal operation guidance explains the operation switch, such as "The upper one is the open button and the lower one is the close button.", "When using the toilet, please press the outer open switch and then press the inner close switch to close it.", "When exiting, please press the outer close switch.", and "The toilet is currently in use" for use. The non-contact operation guidance includes, in addition to the normal operation guidance, "The switch on the right can be operated by holding your hand over it." and so on.

[0040] After the voice guidance including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch is performed, when there is an output of an opening / closing instruction from the contact switch or the non-contact switch, the determination unit 23 determines that the subsequent voice guidance is the "normal operation guidance" which is the voice guidance not including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch.

[0041] If, before the operation guidance of the non-contact switch in the voice guidance ends, there is an output of an opening / closing instruction from the non-contact switch, the determination unit 23 determines that the subsequent voice guidance is the "normal operation guidance" which is the voice guidance not including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch.

[0042] If, before the operation guidance of the non-contact switch in the voice guidance ends, there is an output of an opening / closing instruction from the contact switch, the determination unit 23 determines that the subsequent voice guidance is still the "non-contact operation guidance" which is the voice guidance including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch.

[0043] When the occupancy sensor 15 of the multifunctional toilet 1 detects, the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use. That is, when the user enters the multifunctional toilet 1, the inner door operation unit 40 is operated. Therefore, the operation control unit 21 detects before the user operates the inner door operation unit 40 and performs the determined operation guidance.

[0044] When an open operation is performed inside the multifunctional toilet 1, the determination unit 23 cancels the determined operation guidance. That is, the user enters the multifunctional toilet 1, performs a close operation on the inner door operation unit 40, closes the door 4 and uses it, and then performs an open operation on the inner door operation unit 40. The determination unit 23 determines that the use of the multifunctional toilet 1 has ended when an open instruction of the outer open button switch 31 or the outer open non-contact switch 33 is input. Note that the determination unit 23 may cancel the determined operation guidance when there is a close instruction of the inner door operation unit 40 after an open instruction from the outer door operation unit 30 and then there is an open instruction of the inner door operation unit 40. The determination unit 23 may cancel the determined operation guidance when the detection of the occupancy sensor 15 disappears in addition to the start of the inner door operation unit 40.

[0045] Next, with reference to FIGS. 4 and 5 together, the processing procedure of the automatic door device 5 will be described. When the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use, the automatic door device 5 waits with the door 4 fully closed. Note that non-contact operation guidance is performed until the voice guidance is determined.

[0046] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, the operation control unit 21 determines whether a person or an object is detected by the object detection sensor 12 (step S11). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether it has obtained detection information of a person or an object from the object detection sensor 12. When the operation control unit 21 determines that no person or object is detected by the object detection sensor 12 (step S11: NO), it proceeds to step S11 and waits until a person or an object is detected by the object detection sensor 12.

[0047] On the one hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that a person or an object has been detected by the object detection sensor 12 (step S11: YES), it starts the outdoor voice guidance (step S12). That is, the operation control unit 21 causes the outer speaker 35 to output "non-contact operation guidance", which is a voice guidance including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch.

[0048] Subsequently, the determination unit 23 starts counting (step S13). That is, the determination unit 23 measures the elapsed time by counting after starting the voice guidance. The determination unit 23 determines whether the voice guidance, particularly the non-contact operation guidance, has ended by comparing the required time for the voice guidance with the measured elapsed time.

[0049] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether there is an opening / closing instruction for the operation switch (step S14). That is, when the outer open button switch 31, the outer close button switch 32, the outer open non-contact switch 33, and the outer close non-contact switch 34 are operated by the user, they output an opening / closing instruction to the operation controller 20. Therefore, the operation control unit 21 determines whether there is an output of the opening / closing instruction. The operation controller 20 outputs an opening / closing instruction to the door controller 10. Therefore, the door control unit 10A drives and controls the door engine based on the opening / closing instruction to open and close the door 4.

[0050] And when the operation control unit 21 determines that there is no opening / closing instruction for the operation switch (step S14: NO), it determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed after the voice guidance for the operation switch (step S21). That is, the operation control unit 21 waits for the operation switch to be operated within a predetermined time in consideration of the time required from the voice guidance for the operation switch to the operation of the operation switch. Note that the predetermined time in step S21 may be the time elapsed since the object detection sensor 12 detected an object.

[0051] And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the predetermined time has not elapsed after the voice guidance for the operation switch (step S21: NO), it shifts to step S14 and waits until the predetermined time elapses after the voice guidance for the operation switch.

[0052] On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that a predetermined time has elapsed after providing the voice guidance of the operation switch (step S21: YES), it proceeds to step S11 assuming that there has been no operation.

[0053] On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that there is an opening / closing instruction for the operation switch (step S14: YES), it determines whether the non-contact voice guidance has ended (step S15). That is, the determination unit 23 determines whether the voice guidance, particularly the non-contact operation guidance, has ended by comparing the required time for the voice guidance with the measured elapsed time. The operation control unit 21 outputs the opening / closing instruction to the door controller 10 via CAN50. The door control unit 10A of the door controller 10 drives and controls the door engine 11 based on the opening / closing instruction to open and close the door 4.

[0054] And when the determination unit 23 determines that the non-contact voice guidance has not ended (step S15: NO), it determines whether it was an opening / closing instruction for the non-contact switch (step S22). That is, the determination unit 23 determines whether there is an opening / closing instruction for the non-contact switch in order to determine whether the user is aware of the presence of the non-contact switch. Note that step S22 corresponds to a detection step.

[0055] And when the determination unit 23 determines that it was not an opening / closing instruction for the non-contact switch (step S22: NO), it determines the voice guidance including the non-contact operation guidance (step S23). That is, the determination unit 23 selects the voice data of "non-contact operation guidance". In this way, when an opening / closing instruction output from the contact switch is received before the non-contact operation guidance ends, it is highly likely that the user has not heard the operation guidance of the non-contact switch, so by continuing the non-contact operation guidance, the use of the non-contact switch can be promoted. Note that step S23 corresponds to a determination step.

[0056] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S24). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use based on whether or not the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting. And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use (step S24: NO), it waits until it becomes the use state. Note that when the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S20 and the process ends.

[0057] On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S24: YES), it performs voice guidance including non-contact operation guidance inside the multifunctional toilet 1 (step S25). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "non-contact operation guidance" from the inner speaker 45. Note that step S25 corresponds to a guidance step.

[0058] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines again whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S26). And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S26: YES), it proceeds to step S25 and waits until it becomes the unused state.

[0059] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use (step S26: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S20) and ends the process. That is, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that it can be determined according to a new user because the user has left the multifunctional toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 performs non-contact operation guidance until it is determined.

[0060] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that the non-contact voice guidance has ended (step S15: YES), and when it determines that it is an opening / closing instruction of the non-contact switch (step S22: YES), it determines to perform voice guidance that does not include non-contact operation guidance (step S16). That is, the determination unit 23 selects the voice data of "normal operation guidance". In this way, when there is an output of an opening / closing instruction after the non-contact operation guidance is performed, since it is highly likely that the user is listening to the operation guidance of the non-contact switch, by omitting the operation guidance of the non-contact switch, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user. Also, when there is an output of an opening / closing instruction from the non-contact switch before the non-contact operation guidance ends, since it is highly likely that the user knows how to operate the non-contact switch, by omitting the operation guidance of the non-contact switch, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user. Note that step S16 corresponds to a determination step.

[0061] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S17). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting. And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in a used state (step S17: NO), it waits until it becomes a used state. Note that when the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S20 and ends the process.

[0062] On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S17: YES), it performs voice guidance that does not include non-contact operation guidance inside the multifunctional toilet 1 (step S18). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "normal operation guidance" from the inner speaker 45. Note that step S18 corresponds to a guidance step.

[0063] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines again whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S19). If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S19: YES), it proceeds to step S18 and waits until it becomes unused.

[0064] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use (step S19: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S20) and ends the process. That is, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that it can be determined according to a new user since the user has left the multifunctional toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 provides non-contact operation guidance until it is determined.

[0065] Next, the effects of the first embodiment will be described. (1-1) Based on the result of identifying whether the contact switch or the non-contact switch has been operated, the determination unit 23 determines the content of the subsequent voice guidance by the inner speaker 45. Therefore, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user.

[0066] (1-2) The determination unit 23 determines the content of the voice guidance according to the timing of the output of the opening / closing instruction from the operation switch with respect to the elapsed time since the inner speaker 45 started the voice guidance. Therefore, it is possible to provide operation guidance for the switch according to the timing of the user's operation.

[0067] (1-3) If there is an output of an opening / closing instruction after the voice guidance including the operation guidance of the non-contact switch has been provided, since it is highly likely that the user is listening to the operation guidance of the non-contact switch, the operation guidance of the non-contact switch is omitted. Thus, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user.

[0068] (1-4) If there is an output of an opening / closing instruction from the non-contact switch before the operation guidance of the non-contact switch ends, since it is highly likely that the user knows the operation of the non-contact switch, the operation guidance of the non-contact switch is omitted. Thus, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user.

[0069] (1-5) If an open / close instruction is output from the contact switch before the operation guidance of the non-contact switch ends, it is highly likely that the user has not heard the operation guidance of the non-contact switch, so the operation guidance of the non-contact switch is continued. Therefore, the use of the non-contact switch can be promoted and operation guidance suitable for the user can be provided.

[0070] (1-6) Since the open operation inside the multifunctional toilet 1 is performed when the use of the multifunctional toilet 1 ends, the determined operation guidance is canceled. For this reason, when the next user comes, the content of the voice guidance can be newly determined.

[0071] (Second Embodiment) Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 6 to 8, a second embodiment of the automatic door device will be described. The automatic door device of this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the configuration of the outer door operation unit 30 and the determination of the voice guidance. Hereinafter, the description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment.

[0072] As shown in FIG. 6, the outer door operation unit 30 is provided with an outer open button switch 31, an outer close button switch 32, and an outer speaker 35. Above the outer open button switch 31 of the outer door operation unit 30, braille indicating "open" is installed. Similarly, above the outer close button switch 32 of the outer door operation unit 30, braille indicating "close" is installed. A braille detection unit 36 for detecting that the user has touched is provided at these braille portions. Further, a peripheral detection unit 37 for detecting that the user has touched is provided around the outer open button switch 31 and the outer close button switch 32 of the outer door operation unit 30. Note that the outer open button switch 31 and the outer close button switch 32 correspond to the operation units for detecting operations.

[0073] As shown in FIG. 7, the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37 are electrodes or contact sensors, and output the detection results to the operation controller 20. The braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37 determine the detection state when the detection continues for a predetermined time or when a predetermined number of detections occur within a predetermined time, and output the detection results to the operation controller 20. Similarly, the inner door operation unit 40 is provided with an inner open button switch 41, an inner close button switch 42, and an inner speaker 45. Note that the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37 correspond to detection units having a detection area near the operation switch.

[0074] The determination unit 23 determines the content of the voice guidance based on the detection results of the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37. Specifically, when there is an output of detection from the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37 before an opening / closing instruction is output from the operation switch, the determination unit 23 determines that there is a pre-detection and determines the voice guidance for visually impaired persons. The voice guidance for visually impaired persons is, for example, "If you want to open the door, please operate the upper open switch. If you want to close the door, please operate the lower close switch." The normal voice guidance is, for example, "If you want to use the toilet, please operate the middle close switch. If you want to exit, please operate the outer close switch."

[0075] Next, with reference to FIG. 8 as well, the processing procedure of the automatic door device 5 will be described. When the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use, the automatic door device 5 waits with the door 4 fully closed.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 8, the operation control unit 21 starts the voice guidance outside the room (step S30). That is, until the voice guidance is determined, the operation control unit 21 outputs the normal operation guidance from the outer speaker 35.

[0077] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether there is an opening / closing instruction for the operation switch (step S31). That is, when the outer opening button switch 31 and the outer closing button switch 32 are operated by the user, they output an opening / closing instruction to the operation controller 20. Therefore, the operation control unit 21 determines whether there is an output of the opening / closing instruction. The operation controller 20 outputs an opening / closing instruction to the door controller 10. Therefore, the door control unit 10A drives and controls the door engine 11 based on the opening / closing instruction to open and close the door 4.

[0078] And when the operation control unit 21 determines that there is no opening / closing instruction for the operation switch (step S31: NO), it waits until there is an opening / closing instruction for the operation switch. On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that there is an opening / closing instruction for the operation switch (step S31: YES), it determines whether there is prior detection (step S32). That is, the determination unit 23 determines whether there is an output of operation detection from the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37. If the user is a visually impaired person, there is a high possibility of touching the braille part and the periphery of the switch before operating the operation switch. Note that step S32 corresponds to the detection step.

[0079] And when the determination unit 23 determines that there is no prior detection (step S32: NO), it determines not to change the voice guidance (step S38). That is, when the user only operates the operation switch, the determination unit 23 determines that there is no prior detection, so it assumes that the user is not a visually impaired person and keeps the voice guidance normal. Note that step S38 corresponds to the determination step.

[0080] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S39). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting. And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in a used state (step S39: NO), it waits until it becomes a used state. Note that when the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the operation control unit 21 ends the process.

[0081] On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S39: YES), it performs normal operation guidance voice guidance inside the multifunctional toilet 1 (step S40). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "normal operation guidance" from the inner speaker 45. Note that step S40 corresponds to the guidance step.

[0082] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines again whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S41). And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S41: YES), it shifts to step S40 and waits until it becomes an unused state.

[0083] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in a used state (step S41: NO), it ends the process. That is, the determination unit 23 ends the process because the user has left the multifunctional toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 performs normal operation guidance until it is determined.

[0084] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that there is prior detection (step S32: YES), it determines to perform operation guidance for visually impaired persons (step S33). That is, the determination unit 23 selects the voice data of "operation guidance for visually impaired persons". In this way, when there is an output of operation detection from the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37 before the output of the opening / closing instruction, since it is highly possible that the user is a visually impaired person, by determining to perform operation guidance for visually impaired persons, it is possible to perform operation guidance suitable for the user. Note that step S33 corresponds to the determination step.

[0085] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S34). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use based on whether or not the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting. And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use (step S34: NO), it waits until it becomes the use state. In addition, when the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S37 and the process ends.

[0086] On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S34: YES), it performs voice guidance for operation guidance for visually impaired persons inside the multifunctional toilet 1 (step S35). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "Operation guidance for visually impaired persons" from the inner speaker 45. Note that step S35 corresponds to the guidance step.

[0087] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines again whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S36). And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in use (step S36: YES), the process proceeds to step S35 and it waits until it becomes the unused state.

[0088] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use (step S36: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S37) and ends the process. That is, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that it can be determined according to a new user since the user has left the multifunctional toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 performs normal operation guidance until it is determined.

[0089] Next, the effects of the second embodiment will be described. In addition to the effects of (1-6) of the first embodiment, the following effects are exhibited. When touching near the operation switch in (2-1), since the user is likely to be a visually impaired person or the like, the determination unit 23 determines the content of the voice guidance based on the detection results of the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37. Therefore, it is possible to provide an operation guidance suitable for the user.

[0090] In (2-2), the peripheral detection unit 37 can detect that a visually impaired person has searched for the operation switch and touched the periphery of the operation switch, and it is possible to prevent the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37 from detecting an operation on the operation switch.

[0091] When a visually impaired person searches for the operation switch in (2-3), since they touch for a predetermined time or more or touch multiple times, the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37 can detect this operation, and it is possible to prevent the braille detection unit 36 and the peripheral detection unit 37 from detecting an operation on the operation switch.

[0092] When the braille detection unit 36 detects contact with the braille part in (2-4), since the user is likely to be a visually impaired person, by providing an operation guidance for visually impaired persons, it is possible to provide an operation guidance suitable for the user.

[0093] (Third Embodiment) Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 9, a third embodiment of the automatic door device will be described. The automatic door device of this embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the determination of the voice guidance. Hereinafter, the description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment.

[0094] When an open / close instruction is output from the outer open non-contact switch 33 or the outer close non-contact switch 34, the determination unit 23 determines the voice guidance as the operation guidance for the non-contact switch. When an open / close instruction is output from the outer open button switch 31 or the outer close button switch 32, the determination unit 23 determines the voice guidance as the operation guidance for the contact switch. The determination unit 23 determines the content of the voice guidance regardless of the timing of the output of the open / close instruction from the operation switch.

[0095] Next, the processing procedure of the automatic door device 5 will be described. When the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use, the automatic door device 5 waits with the door 4 fully closed. As shown in FIG. 9, the operation control unit 21 starts the outdoor voice guidance (step S12). That is, until the voice guidance is determined, the operation control unit 21 outputs "normal operation guidance" from the outer speaker 35.

[0096] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether there is an opening / closing instruction of the operation switch (step S14). That is, when the outer open button switch 31, the outer close button switch 32, the outer open non-contact switch 33, and the outer close non-contact switch 34 are operated by the user, they output an opening / closing instruction to the operation controller 20. Therefore, the operation control unit 21 determines whether there is an output of the opening / closing instruction. The operation controller 20 outputs an opening / closing instruction to the door controller 10. Therefore, the door control unit 10A drives and controls the door engine based on the opening / closing instruction to open and close the door 4.

[0097] Then, when the operation control unit 21 determines that there is an opening / closing instruction of the operation switch (step S14: YES), it determines whether it is an opening / closing instruction of the non-contact switch (step S22). That is, the determination unit 23 determines whether there is an opening / closing instruction of the non-contact switch in order to determine whether the user recognizes the presence of the non-contact switch. Note that step S22 corresponds to a detection step.

[0098] Then, when the determination unit 23 determines that it is not an opening / closing instruction of the non-contact switch (step S22: NO), it determines a voice guidance that does not include non-contact operation guidance (step S16). That is, the determination unit 23 selects the voice data of "normal operation guidance". In this way, when there is an output of an opening / closing instruction from the contact type switch, it is possible to perform the operation guidance of the detected switch. Note that step S16 corresponds to a determination step.

[0099] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S17). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state based on whether or not the occupancy sensor 15 has detected. And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in a used state (step S17: NO), it waits until it becomes a used state. Note that when the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S20 and ends the process.

[0100] On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S17: YES), it performs voice guidance that does not include non-contact operation guidance inside the multifunctional toilet 1 (step S18). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "normal operation guidance" from the inner speaker 45. Note that step S18 corresponds to a guidance step.

[0101] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines again whether or not the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S19). And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S19: YES), it proceeds to step S18 and waits until it becomes an unused state.

[0102] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in a used state (step S19: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S20) and ends the process. That is, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that it can be determined according to a new user because the user has left the multifunctional toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 performs non-contact operation guidance until it is determined.

[0103] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that it is an opening / closing instruction of the non-contact switch (step S22: YES), it determines to provide voice guidance including non-contact operation guidance (step S23). That is, the determination unit 23 selects the voice data of "non-contact operation guidance". In this way, when there is an output of an opening / closing instruction from the non-contact switch, it is possible to provide operation guidance for the detected switch. Note that step S23 corresponds to a determination step.

[0104] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S24). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 detects. And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in a used state (step S24: NO), it waits until it becomes a used state. Note that when the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect even after a predetermined time has elapsed, the operation control unit 21 shifts to step S20 and ends the process.

[0105] On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S24: YES), it provides voice guidance including non-contact operation guidance inside the multifunctional toilet 1 (step S25). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "non-contact operation guidance" from the inner speaker 45. Note that step S25 corresponds to a guidance step.

[0106] Subsequently, the operation control unit 21 determines again whether the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S26). And when the operation control unit 21 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is in a used state (step S26: YES), it shifts to step S25 and waits until it becomes an unused state.

[0107] On the other hand, when the determination unit 23 determines that the multifunctional toilet 1 is not in use (step S26: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S20) and ends the process. That is, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that it can be determined according to a new user since the user has left the multifunctional toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 performs non-contact operation guidance until it is determined.

[0108] Next, the effects of the third embodiment will be described. In addition to the effects of (1-1) and (1-6) of the first embodiment, the following effects are achieved. (3-1) The determination unit 23 determines the operation guidance for the operated operation switch. Therefore, by providing the operation guidance for the switch operated by the user, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user.
