Abstract

To solve the problem in which there are many items of a user-preferred setting needed to be set in addition to settings related to an acoustic device such as settings of an outlet temperature and brightness of lighting in the bathroom, but if these various settings have been changed, it is necessary to restore each setting item to the user-preferred setting, and it is very complicated to individually reset each of them.SOLUTION: The bathroom control unit includes storage means for storing setting states of a plurality of electric devices. When the setting states stored in the storage means are called, setting states of the plurality of electric devices are changed to the stored setting states.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bathroom control device capable of controlling the setting state of an electric device such as a lighting device or a sound device provided in a bathroom.

  For example, in order to listen to music and the like in a bathroom, a speaker may be provided in the bathroom for reproducing a music signal from an audio device which is a type of electrical device. However, since the acoustic effects such as echo and resonance are special in the bathroom, switches for enhancing bass and treble are provided, and by operating these switches, an acoustic component of a specific frequency set in advance is selected. There is known an apparatus for cutting and / or boosting, for example (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

Unexamined-Japanese-Patent No. 6-61768 (Claim 1)

  With regard to the acoustic device, it is necessary to return the setting to suit the user's preference each time another person changes the setting for cutting and boosting the above-mentioned acoustic component. With regard to the sound device, in addition to such sound components, it is necessary to set the volume to one's own preference, but if another human is changing the setting for this sound volume as well, along with the setting of the above sound components. Volume settings also have to be changed.

  Furthermore, in the bathroom, there are many items that need to be set in addition to the settings relating to the acoustic device, such as the setting of the outlet temperature and the brightness of the illumination, and when these various settings have been changed, each setting item Although it is necessary to return to the setting of one's own preference, it is very complicated to set each of them individually.

  Therefore, in view of the above problems, the present invention has an object to provide a bathroom control device in which the resetting operation is not complicated when the various setting items are reset.

  In order to solve the above problems, a bathroom control device according to the present invention is a bathroom control device capable of freely changing the setting state of the electric device provided in the bathroom from the inside of the bathroom. A storage means for storing a state is provided, and when the setting state stored in the storage means is called, the setting states of the plurality of electrical devices are changed to the stored setting state.

  By storing the setting state of preference for a plurality of electrical devices, the stored setting state is recalled, and the setting states of various electrical devices are changed so that the stored setting state is obtained. The operating state of a plurality of electrical devices can be changed to a desired setting state by one operation.

  Preferably, the storage means can store a plurality of patterns of setting states of the plurality of electric devices, and can freely call any pattern among the plurality of patterns.

  Further, specifically, it is conceivable to provide a storage button for storing the setting state of the plurality of electric devices, and to store the setting state at the time of the operation in the storage means when the storage button is operated. .

  And the memory button should just comprise the said memory button with biometric authentication sensors, such as a fingerprint sensor, for example.

  As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, even if there are a plurality of electric devices, the setting states of preferences for the plurality of electric devices are recorded as one pattern, and the stored setting states The operation states of the plurality of electric devices can be changed to the desired operation state by one operation by calling the “,” and collectively changing the operation states of the electric devices to the stored desired operation states.

A diagram showing a configuration of an embodiment of the present invention Diagram showing an example of the operation unit

  Referring to FIG. 1, 1 is an example of a bathroom to which the present invention is applied. Various lighting fixtures 21 are attached to the bathroom 1 and all the lighting fixtures 21 are connected to the lighting control device 2. The illumination control device 2 can control the brightness, emission color, and the like of all the illumination devices 21. And a bather can set these brightness and luminescent color freely by the operation terminal which is not illustrated.

  Reference numeral 31 denotes a monitor for displaying a television image, which is connected to the tuner 3. By operating the operation button provided on the monitor 31, the tuner 3 changes the channel of the television screen displayed on the monitor 31, or increases or decreases the volume of the television sounded from the monitor 31.

  A speaker 41 for sound is connected to the sound device 4. An operation unit (not shown) is connected to the sound device 4, and by operating the operation unit, it is possible to change the volume, the sound quality, etc. of the sound produced from the speaker 41.

  Reference numeral 51 denotes a bath remote control, which is connected to the outdoor hot water supply device 5. By operating the bath remote control 51, a hot water supply temperature such as a shower is set.

  The lighting control device 2, the tuner 3, the acoustic device 4, and the hot water supply device 5 which are these electric devices are all connected to the control device 6 according to the present invention. The control device 6 reads each setting state of each of the electric devices 2, 3, 4, 5 and stores the setting state stored in the built-in memory or the setting state stored in the memory into each electric device 2, 3, The setting state of each of the electric devices 2, 3, 4, 5 can be rewritten to the setting state stored in the memory. The control unit 6 is connected to the operation unit 7, and the setting state stored in the memory in the control unit 6 is rewritten or recalled to change the setting states of the respective electric devices 2, 3, 4, 5 It can be done.

  Referring to FIG. 2, the operation unit 7 is provided with a display unit 71 for displaying the number of the memory incorporated in the control device 6, and it is desirable to operate the selection buttons 72 and 73. The memory number can be displayed on the display unit 71. For example, when the storage button 74 is pressed in a state where "1" is displayed on the display unit 71, the setting state of each of the electric devices 2, 3, 4, and 5 at that time is written in the memory of number 1 Be Similarly, when the storage button 74 is pressed and operated while "2" is displayed on the display unit 71, the setting state of each of the electric devices 2, 3, 4, and 5 at that time is written to the memory of number 2. .

  Next, for example, when the call button 75 is pressed and operated in a state in which “1” is displayed on the display unit 71, the setting state of each of the electric devices 2, 3, 4 and 5 stored in the memory of number 1 is called And the called setting state is transmitted to each electric device 2, 3, 4, 5 and the setting state of each electric device 2, 3, 4, 5 is rewritten to the setting state recorded in the memory of number 1 Be

  In the above embodiment, the operation buttons 72 and 73 are used to change and select the memory number, but a biometric authentication sensor such as fingerprint authentication is provided in the operation unit 7 and is associated with the authenticated fingerprint Alternatively, the memory of the number may be called, or a voice recognition function may be added to call the memory number or store the setting state or call the setting state by voice from a position away from the operation unit 7. Good.

  The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.
