However, the automatic door system described in Patent Document 1 does not provide announcements for the visually impaired, so there is a need for operation guidance that is suitable for users. There is a need for operation guidance that is suitable for users other than the visually impaired.

An automatic door system that solves the above problems comprises a contact switch that, when operated by a user, outputs instructions to open or close a door installed in an opening, a non-contact switch that, when operated by the user, outputs instructions to open or close the door, a guidance unit that provides voice guidance on the operation of the switch, and a decision unit that, when the opening or closing instruction is output, identifies the target of the operation and determines the content of the voice guidance by the guidance unit based on the identified target, wherein, when the opening or closing instruction is output from the non-contact switch, the decision unit decides that the voice guidance will be operation guidance for the non-contact switch, and when the opening or closing instruction is output from the contact switch, the decision unit decides that the voice guidance will be operation guidance for the contact switch, and the guidance unit provides subsequent voice guidance based on the decision of the decision unit.

According to the above configuration, the determination unit determines the content of the voice guidance by the guidance unit based on the result of identifying whether the contact switch or the non-contact switch has been operated. This makes it possible to provide operation guidance suited to the user.

For the above-mentioned automatic door system, it is preferable that the decision unit decides that the voice guidance is the operation guidance for the non-contact switch when the open/close command is output from the non-contact switch, and decides that the voice guidance is the operation guidance for the contact switch when the open/close command is output from the contact switch.

For the above-mentioned automatic door system, it is preferable that the determination unit obtains the elapsed time since the guidance unit started the voice guidance, and determines the content of the voice guidance according to the timing of the output of the open/close command from the switch relative to the elapsed time.

For the above-mentioned automatic door system, if the opening/closing command is output from the contact switch or the non-contact switch after voice guidance including operation guidance for the non-contact switch has been provided, it is preferable that the determination unit determines that the subsequent voice guidance will be voice guidance that does not include operation guidance for the non-contact switch.

For the above-mentioned automatic door system, if the opening/closing command is output from the non-contact switch before the operation guidance for the non-contact switch ends among the voice guidance, it is preferable that the decision unit decides that the subsequent voice guidance will be voice guidance that does not include operation guidance for the non-contact switch.

For the above-mentioned automatic door system, if the opening/closing command is output from the contact switch before the operation guidance for the non-contact switch ends among the voice guidance, it is preferable that the decision unit decides to continue to use voice guidance including operation guidance for the non-contact switch.

According to the above configuration, when a user touches the vicinity of a door or an operating switch, there is a high possibility that the user is visually impaired, etc., so the determination unit determines the content of the voice guidance by the guidance unit based on the detection result of the detection unit. Therefore, it is possible to provide operation guidance that is suitable for the user.

In the above automatic door system, it is preferable that the detection area is a periphery of an operation unit that detects the operation of the operation switch.
In the above automatic door system, it is preferable that the detection unit determines that the detection is in a detection state when a state in which detection continues for a predetermined time or a state in which detection occurs a predetermined number of times within a predetermined time is established.

In the above-mentioned automatic door system, it is preferable that the operation switch has a Braille section, the detection section detects contact with the Braille section, and the decision section decides that the voice guidance will be operation guidance for visually impaired persons when the detection section is in a detection state.

In the above-mentioned automatic door device, it is preferable that the operation switches are installed on the outside and inside of the room in which the opening is provided, and the decision unit cancels the voice guidance determined by the operation switch on the outside of the room when an open command is output from the operation switch on the inside of the room.

First Embodiment
Hereinafter, a first embodiment of an automatic door system will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 8. The automatic door system is installed in a multi-function toilet.

As shown in FIG. 1, the multi-function toilet 1 is a private room with one entrance 2, and a toilet bowl 3 is installed in a large space to make it easy for people with disabilities and people with children to use. An automatic door device 5 that drives and controls a door 4 is installed at the entrance 2. The door 4 is a sliding door that opens and closes the entrance 2. The multi-function toilet 1 corresponds to a room. The entrance 2 corresponds to an opening.

On the outer wall of the multi-function toilet 1, an outer door operation unit 30 that operates the opening and closing of the door 4 is installed. On the inner wall of the multi-function toilet 1, an inner door operation unit 40 that also operates the opening and closing of the door 4 is installed. On the outside of the entrance 2, an object detection sensor 12 that detects people and objects passing outside the entrance 2 is installed. The object detection sensor 12 detects people and objects that are present in a detection area A that is outside the entrance 2 and is a predetermined range from the entrance 2. The detection area A of the object detection sensor 12 is a collection of small detection areas. Therefore, the object detection sensor 12 can detect the movement of people or objects within the detection area A. On the inner wall of the entrance 2, an auxiliary sensor 13 that detects people standing inside the entrance 2 is installed. On the ceiling, an occupancy sensor 15 that detects users in the private room is installed. The object detection sensor 12 functions as a detection unit. The detection area A corresponds to the predetermined range.

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 have a contact switch on the left side and a non-contact switch on the right side. The contact switch outputs an open/close command to open/close the door by a contact operation of pressing the button switch. The non-contact switch detects the user by the reflection of the detection wave and outputs an open/close command to open/close the door. The outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40 have an outer open button switch 31 (inner open button switch 41) installed on the upper left. The outer open button switch 31 and the inner open button switch 41 have "OPEN, ←→, OPEN" written on their surfaces. The outer open button switch 31 and the inner open button switch 41 output an open command for the door 4 when the button switch is pressed by the user. The outer close button switch 32 (inner close button switch 42) is installed on the lower left of the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40. The outer close button switch 32 and the inner close button switch 42 have "Close, →←, CLOSE" written on their surfaces. The outer close button switch 32 and the inner close button switch 42 output a close command for the door 4 when the user presses the button switch. The outer open non-contact switch 33 (inner open non-contact switch 43) is provided at the upper right of the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40. The outer open non-contact switch 33 and the inner open non-contact switch 43 output a close command for the door 4 when the user detects the user. The outer close non-contact switch 34 (inner close non-contact switch 44) is provided at the lower right of the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40. The outer close non-contact switch 34 and the inner close non-contact switch 44 output a close command for the door 4. When the outside close non-contact switch 34 and the inside close non-contact switch 44 detect a user, they output a command to close the door 4. The outside open button switch 31, the inside open button switch 41, the outside close button switch 32, the inside close button switch 42, the outside open non-contact switch 33, the inside open non-contact switch 43, the outside close non-contact switch 34, and the inside close non-contact switch 44 light up or flash. In addition, an outside speaker 35 (an inside speaker 45) is provided between the outside open button switch 31 (an inside open button switch 41) and the outside open non-contact switch 33 (an inside open non-contact switch 43) and the outside close button switch 32 (an inside close button switch 42) and the outside close non-contact switch 34 (an inside close non-contact switch 44). The outside opening button switch 31, the inside opening button switch 41, the outside closing button switch 32, the inside closing button switch 42, the outside opening non-contact switch 33, the inside opening non-contact switch 43, the outside closing non-contact switch 34, and the inside closing non-contact switch 44 correspond to the operation switches of the door 4. For the button switches, the operation by the user corresponds to the pressing operation, and for the non-contact switches, the operation by the user corresponds to the approach of a part of the user's body or an object.

Next, the electrical configuration of the automatic door system 5 will be described with reference to FIG.
The automatic door system 5 includes a door engine 11 for driving 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 room occupancy sensor 15. The automatic door system 5 includes an operation controller 20 to which an outer door operation unit 30 and an inner door operation unit 40 are connected. The door controller 10, the operation controller 20, the object detection sensor 12, and the room occupancy sensor 15 are connected to a CAN 50. The auxiliary sensor 13 transmits a detection signal to the door controller 10 upon detection. The object detection sensor 12 and the room occupancy sensor 15 transmit a detection signal to the door controller 10 and the operation controller 20 via the CAN 50 upon detection. 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 room occupancy sensor 15. The door controller 10 includes a door control unit 10A for controlling the opening and closing of the door.

The door controller 10 includes a calculation unit, a communication interface unit, a volatile storage unit, and a non-volatile storage unit. The calculation unit is a computer processor, and controls the door engine 11 according to a control program stored in the non-volatile storage unit (storage medium). The calculation unit may realize at least a part of the processing that it executes by a circuit such as an ASIC. The control program may be executed by one computer processor or by multiple computer processors. The door controller 10 may be configured as one or more processors that execute various processing according to a computer program (software). The processing executed by the door controller 10, i.e., the processor, includes a control method for the door control unit 10A. The door controller 10 may be configured as one or more dedicated hardware circuits, such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), that execute at least a part of the various processing, or a circuit that includes a combination of these. The processor includes a CPU and memories such as a RAM and a ROM. The memory stores program codes or instructions that are configured to cause the CPU to execute the processing. Memory, or computer-readable media, includes any available media that can be accessed by a general-purpose or special-purpose computer.

The operation controller 20 includes a calculation unit, a communication interface unit, a volatile storage unit, and a non-volatile storage unit. The calculation unit is a computer processor that controls the outer door operation unit 30 and the inner door operation unit 40 according to a control program stored in the non-volatile storage unit (storage medium). The calculation unit may realize at least a part of the processing that it executes by a circuit such as an ASIC. The control program may be executed by one computer processor or by multiple computer processors. The operation controller 20 may be configured as one or more processors that execute various processing according to a computer program (software). The processing executed by the operation controller 20, i.e., the processor, includes a control method for the automatic door device 5. The control method for the automatic door device 5 includes a specification step, a decision step, and a guidance step, which will be described later. The operation controller 20 may be configured as one or more dedicated hardware circuits, such as an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), that execute at least a part of the various processing, or a circuit including a combination thereof. The processor includes a CPU and memory such as RAM and ROM. The memory stores program code or instructions configured to cause the CPU to execute processes. The memory, i.e., computer-readable medium, includes any available medium accessible by a general-purpose or special-purpose computer. The program stored on the computer-readable medium includes a control program for the automatic door system 5. The control program for the automatic door system 5 causes the computer to execute a specifying step, a determining step, and a guiding step.

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 attention-calling guidance messages tailored 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 an open/close command is output from a contact switch or a non-contact switch, the determination unit 23 specifies whether the target of the user's operation is a contact switch or a non-contact switch. When the specified target is a contact switch, the determination unit 23 determines the guidance by the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45 to be guidance associated with the operation of the contact switch. When the specified target is a non-contact switch, the determination unit 23 determines the guidance by the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45 to be 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 decision made by the decision unit 23. The operation control unit 21, the outer speaker 35, and the inner speaker 45 function as a guidance unit.

When the outer opening button switch 31 detects a push operation, it outputs an outer opening contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the outer closing button switch 32 detects a push operation, it outputs an outer closing contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the outer opening non-contact switch 33 detects a user, it outputs an outer opening non-contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the outer closing non-contact switch 34 detects a user, it outputs an outer closing non-contact instruction to the operation controller 20. The operation controller 20 outputs opening/closing instructions for the outer opening button switch 31, the outer closing button switch 32, the outer opening non-contact switch 33, and the outer closing non-contact switch 34 to the CAN 50.

When the inside open button switch 41 detects a push operation, it outputs an inside open contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the inside close button switch 42 detects a push operation, it outputs an inside close contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the inside open non-contact switch 43 detects a user, it outputs an inside open non-contact instruction to the operation controller 20. When the inside close non-contact switch 44 detects a user, it outputs an inside close non-contact instruction to the operation controller 20. The operation controller 20 outputs open/close instructions for the inside open button switch 41, the inside close button switch 42, the inside open non-contact switch 43, and the inside close non-contact switch 44 to the CAN 50.

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 the opening and closing command from the outer door operation unit 30. In addition, when the door control unit 10A estimates that a person or object detected by the object detection sensor 12 is moving toward the entrance/exit 2, it controls the opening and closing of the door 4 based on the opening and closing command from the operation switch. In other words, the purpose is to control the opening and closing of the door 4 only when the user is a user of the multi-function toilet 1.

The decision unit 23 acquires the elapsed time from the start of the voice guidance from the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45, and decides the contents of the voice guidance according to the timing of the output of the open/close command from the operation switch relative to the elapsed time. The operation control unit 21 selects voice data of the guidance message from the storage unit 22 based on the decision of the decision unit 23, and outputs it from the outer speaker 35 and the inner speaker 45. The voice data includes non-contact operation guidance including operation guidance for non-contact switches, and normal operation guidance not including operation guidance for non-contact switches. For example, the non-contact operation guidance is normal operation guidance to which operation guidance for non-contact switches is added. The normal operation guidance explains the operation switches, and is, for example, "The top is the open button, and the bottom is the close button," "When using the toilet, press the outside open switch and press the inside close switch to close," "When leaving, press the outside close switch," and "The toilet is currently in use," for when it is in use. The non-contact operation guidance is, in addition to the normal operation guidance, "You can operate the switch on the right side by holding your hand over it," etc.

When an open/close instruction is output from a contact switch or a non-contact switch after audio guidance including operation guidance for a non-contact switch has been provided, the determination unit 23 determines that the subsequent audio guidance will be "normal operation guidance," which is audio guidance that does not include operation guidance for a non-contact switch.

If an open/close instruction is output from the non-contact switch before the operation guidance for the non-contact switch ends in the voice guidance, the determination unit 23 determines that the subsequent voice guidance will be "normal operation guidance," which is voice guidance that does not include operation guidance for the non-contact switch.

If an open/close instruction is output from the contact switch before the voice guidance for operating the non-contact switch ends, the decision unit 23 decides to continue to provide voice guidance that includes operation guidance for the non-contact switch, namely, "non-contact operation guidance."

When the presence sensor 15 of the multi-function toilet 1 detects an occupancy, the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use. In other words, when a user enters the multi-function toilet 1, the user operates the inner door operation unit 40. Therefore, the operation control unit 21 detects before the user operates the inner door operation unit 40 and provides the determined operation guidance.

The decision unit 23 cancels the determined operation guidance when an opening operation is performed inside the multi-function toilet 1. That is, the user enters the multi-function toilet 1, performs a closing operation on the inner door operation unit 40, closes the door 4 for use, and then performs an opening operation on the inner door operation unit 40. The decision unit 23 determines that use of the multi-function toilet 1 has ended when an opening instruction is input from the outer opening button switch 31 or the outer opening non-contact switch 33. The decision unit 23 may cancel the determined operation guidance when an opening instruction is given from the outer door operation unit 30, followed by a closing instruction from the inner door operation unit 40, and then an opening instruction from the inner door operation unit 40. The decision unit 23 may cancel the determined operation guidance when the presence sensor 15 is no longer detected, in addition to when the inner door operation unit 40 starts.

Next, the processing procedure of the automatic door system 5 will be described with reference to Figures 4 and 5. When the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use, the automatic door system 5 waits with the door 4 fully closed. Note that non-contact operation guidance is provided until the voice guidance is determined.

As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the operation control unit 21 determines whether or not the object detection sensor 12 has detected a person or object (step S11). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether or not detection information that a person or object has been detected has been obtained from the object detection sensor 12. Then, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the object detection sensor 12 has not detected a person or object (step S11: NO), it proceeds to step S11 and waits until the object detection sensor 12 detects a person or object.

On the other hand, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the object detection sensor 12 has detected a person or object (step S11: YES), it starts audio guidance for the outside of the vehicle (step S12). That is, the operation control unit 21 causes the exterior speaker 35 to output "non-contact operation guidance," which is audio guidance including operation guidance for non-contact switches.

Then, the decision unit 23 starts counting (step S13). That is, the decision unit 23 measures the elapsed time by counting from the start of the voice guidance. The decision unit 23 compares the time required for the voice guidance with the measured elapsed time to determine whether the voice guidance, particularly the non-contact operation guidance, has ended.

Then, the operation control unit 21 judges whether or not there is an instruction to open or close the operation switch (step S14). That is, when the user operates the outside open button switch 31, the outside close button switch 32, the outside open non-contact switch 33, and the outside close non-contact switch 34, they output an open or close instruction to the operation controller 20. Therefore, the operation control unit 21 judges whether or not an open or close instruction has been output. The operation controller 20 outputs an open or close instruction to the door controller 10. Therefore, the door control unit 10A drives and controls the door engine based on the open or close instruction to open or close the door 4.

If the operation control unit 21 determines that there is no instruction to open or close the operation switch (step S14: NO), it determines whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the voice guidance for the operation switch was given (step S21). That is, the operation control unit 21 waits for the operation for a predetermined time, taking into account the time it takes from the voice guidance for the operation switch to operating the operation switch. Note that the predetermined time in step S21 may be the time that has elapsed since the object detection sensor 12 detected the object.

If the operation control unit 21 determines that the predetermined time has not elapsed since the voice guidance for the operation switches was given (step S21: NO), it proceeds to step S14 and waits until the predetermined time has elapsed since the voice guidance for the operation switches was given.

On the other hand, if the operation control unit 21 determines that a predetermined time has elapsed since the voice guidance for the operation switch was given (step S21: YES), it determines that no operation has been performed and proceeds to step S11.

On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that an instruction to open or close the operation switch has been received (step S14: YES), it determines whether or not the non-contact voice guidance has ended (step S15). That is, the decision unit 23 compares the time required for the voice guidance with the measured elapsed time to determine whether or not the voice guidance, particularly the non-contact operation guidance, has ended. The operation control unit 21 outputs an opening/closing instruction to the door controller 10 via the CAN 50. 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 or close the door 4.

If the decision unit 23 determines that the non-contact voice guidance has not ended (step S15: NO), it determines whether or not there was an instruction to open or close the non-contact switch (step S22). That is, the decision unit 23 determines whether or not there was an instruction to open or close the non-contact switch in order to determine whether or not the user is aware of the existence of the non-contact switch. Note that step S22 corresponds to a detection step.

If the decision unit 23 determines that the instruction is not an opening/closing instruction for a non-contact switch (step S22: NO), it decides to provide voice guidance including non-contact operation guidance (step S23). That is, the decision unit 23 selects voice data for "non-contact operation guidance." In this way, if an opening/closing instruction is output from a contact switch before the non-contact operation guidance ends, it is highly likely that the user did not hear the operation guidance for the non-contact switch, so by continuing the non-contact operation guidance, it is possible to encourage the use of the non-contact switch. Note that step S23 corresponds to the decision step.

The operation control unit 21 then determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S24). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting something. If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S24: NO), it waits until it is in use. Note that if the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect something even after a predetermined time has passed, the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S20 and ends the process.

On the other hand, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S24: YES), audio guidance including non-contact operation guidance is provided inside the multi-function toilet 1 (step S25). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "non-contact operation guidance" from the inside speaker 45. Note that step S25 corresponds to the guidance step.

Next, the operation control unit 21 again determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S26). If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S26: YES), the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S25 and waits until the multi-function toilet 1 becomes unused.

On the other hand, if the determination unit 23 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S26: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S20) and ends the process. In other words, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that a decision can be made for a new user since the user has left the multi-function toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 provides non-contact operation guidance until a decision is made.

On the other hand, when the decision unit 23 determines that the non-contact voice guidance has ended (step S15: YES) and that the instruction is an open/close instruction for a non-contact switch (step S22: YES), it decides to provide voice guidance that does not include non-contact operation guidance (step S16). That is, the decision unit 23 selects the voice data of the "normal operation guidance". In this way, when an open/close instruction is output after the non-contact operation guidance has been provided, it is highly likely that the user is listening to the operation guidance for the non-contact switch, so by omitting the operation guidance for the non-contact switch, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user. Also, when an open/close instruction is output from the non-contact switch before the non-contact operation guidance has ended, it is highly likely that the user knows how to operate the non-contact switch, so by omitting the operation guidance for the non-contact switch, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user. It should be noted that step S16 corresponds to the decision step.

Then, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S17). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting something. Then, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S17: NO), it waits until it is in use. Note that if the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect something even after a predetermined time has passed, the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S20 and ends the process.

On the other hand, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S17: YES), audio guidance that does not include non-contact operation guidance is provided inside the multi-function toilet 1 (step S18). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "normal operation guidance" from the inside speaker 45. Note that step S18 corresponds to the guidance step.

Next, the operation control unit 21 again determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S19). If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S19: YES), the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S18 and waits until the multi-function toilet 1 becomes unused.

On the other hand, if the determination unit 23 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S19: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S20) and ends the process. In other words, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that a decision can be made for a new user since the user has left the multi-function toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 provides non-contact operation guidance until a decision is made.

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 voice guidance to be given by the inner speaker 45 thereafter. Therefore, it is possible to provide operation guidance suited to the user.

(1-2) The determination unit 23 determines the content of the voice guidance depending on the timing of the output of the open/close command from the operation switch relative to the time that has elapsed since the inner speaker 45 started the voice guidance. This makes it possible to provide switch operation guidance according to the timing of the user's operation.

(1-3) If an open/close command is output after audio guidance including non-contact switch operation guidance has been provided, the non-contact switch operation guidance is omitted since it is highly likely that the user is listening to the non-contact switch operation guidance. This makes it possible to provide operation guidance suited to the user.

(1-4) If an open/close command is output from the non-contact switch before the operation guidance for the non-contact switch is finished, the operation guidance for the non-contact switch is omitted since it is highly likely that the user already knows how to operate the non-contact switch. This makes it possible to provide operation guidance suited to the user.

(1-5) If an open/close command is output from the contact switch before the non-contact switch operation guidance is finished, the non-contact switch operation guidance continues since it is highly likely that the user has not heard the non-contact switch operation guidance. This encourages the use of the non-contact switch and allows the user to be provided with operation guidance suited to the user.

(1-6) The opening operation is performed from inside the multi-function toilet 1 when the user has finished using the multi-function toilet 1, so the previously determined operation guidance is cancelled. This allows the content of the voice guidance to be newly determined when the next user arrives.

Second Embodiment
A second embodiment of the automatic door system will be described below with reference to Figures 6 to 8. The automatic door system of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the configuration of the outer door operating unit 30 and in the determination of the voice guidance. The following description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment.

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. In addition, above the outer open button switch 31 of the outer door operation unit 30, braille indicating "open" is provided. Similarly, above the outer close button switch 32 of the outer door operation unit 30, braille indicating "close" is provided. These braille parts are provided with a braille detection unit 36 that detects when the user touches them. In addition, around the outer open button switch 31 and the outer close button switch 32 of the outer door operation unit 30, a surrounding detection unit 37 that detects when the user touches them is provided. The outer open button switch 31 and the outer close button switch 32 correspond to the operation unit that detects operation.

As shown in FIG. 7, the Braille detection unit 36 and the surrounding 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 surrounding detection unit 37 determine a detection state when detection continues for a predetermined time or 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. The Braille detection unit 36 and the surrounding detection unit 37 correspond to detection units having detection areas near the operation switches.

The decision unit 23 decides the contents of the voice guidance based on the detection results of the Braille detection unit 36 and the surrounding detection unit 37. Specifically, if there is a detection output from the Braille detection unit 36 and the surrounding detection unit 37 before an open/close command is output from the operation switch, the decision unit 23 determines that there is prior detection and decides to provide voice guidance for visually impaired people. Voice guidance for visually impaired people is, for example, "If you want to open the door, operate the upper open switch. If you want to close the door, operate the lower close switch." Normal voice guidance is, for example, "If you want to use the toilet, operate the inside close switch. If you want to leave, operate the outside close switch."

Next, the processing procedure of the automatic door device 5 will be described with reference to FIG. 8. When the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use, the automatic door device 5 waits with the door 4 fully closed.

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

Then, the operation control unit 21 judges whether or not there is an open/close command for the operation switch (step S31). That is, when the outside open button switch 31 and the outside close button switch 32 are operated by the user, they output an open/close command to the operation controller 20. Therefore, the operation control unit 21 judges whether or not an open/close command has been output. The operation controller 20 outputs an open/close command to the door controller 10. Therefore, the door control unit 10A drives and controls the door engine 11 based on the open/close command to open or close the door 4.

Then, when the operation control unit 21 determines that there is no instruction to open or close the operation switch (step S31: NO), the operation control unit 21 waits until there is an instruction to open or close the operation switch.
On the other hand, when the operation control unit 21 determines that an instruction to open or close the operation switch has been given (step S31: YES), it determines whether or not there has been a pre-detection (step S32). That is, the decision unit 23 determines whether or not there has been an output of operation detection from the Braille detection unit 36 and the surroundings detection unit 37. If the user is visually impaired, there is a high possibility that the user will touch the Braille portion or the surroundings of the switch before operating the operation switch. Note that step S32 corresponds to a detection step.

Then, if the decision unit 23 determines that there is no prior detection (step S32: NO), it decides not to change the voice guidance (step S38). In other words, if the user operates only the operation switch, there is no prior detection, so the decision unit 23 determines that the user is not visually impaired and keeps the voice guidance normal. Note that step S38 corresponds to the decision step.

The operation control unit 21 then determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S39). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting something. If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S39: NO), it waits until it is in use. Note that if the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect something even after a predetermined time has passed, the operation control unit 21 ends the process.

On the other hand, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S39: YES), it provides voice guidance for normal operation inside the multi-function toilet 1 (step S40). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "normal operation guidance" from the inside speaker 45. Note that step S40 corresponds to the guidance step.

Next, the operation control unit 21 again determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S41). If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S41: YES), the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S40 and waits until the multi-function toilet 1 becomes unused.

On the other hand, if the decision unit 23 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S41: NO), it ends the process. In other words, the decision unit 23 ends the process because the user has left the multi-function toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 continues to provide normal operation guidance until a decision is made.

On the other hand, if the determination unit 23 determines that there has been prior detection (step S32: YES), it determines to provide operation guidance for the visually impaired (step S33). That is, the determination unit 23 selects the audio data of "operation guidance for the visually impaired." In this way, if there is an operation detection output from the Braille detection unit 36 and the surroundings detection unit 37 before the output of an open/close command, it is highly likely that the user is visually impaired, so by determining to provide operation guidance for the visually impaired, it is possible to provide operation guidance suitable for the user. Note that step S33 corresponds to the determination step.

Then, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S34). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting something. Then, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S34: NO), it waits until it is in use. Note that if the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect something even after a predetermined time has passed, the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S37 and ends the process.

On the other hand, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S34: YES), it provides audio operation guidance for visually impaired people inside the multi-function toilet 1 (step S35). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "operation guidance for visually impaired people" from the inside speaker 45. Note that step S35 corresponds to the guidance step.

Next, the operation control unit 21 again determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S36). If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S36: YES), the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S35 and waits until the multi-function toilet 1 becomes unused.

On the other hand, if the determination unit 23 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S36: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S37) and ends the process. In other words, since the user has left the multi-function toilet 1, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that a decision can be made for a new user. The operation control unit 21 provides normal operation guidance until a decision is made.

Next, the effects of the second embodiment will be described. In addition to the effects (1-6) of the first embodiment, the second embodiment has the following effects.
(2-1) When the user touches the vicinity of an operation switch, there is a high possibility that the user is visually impaired, etc., so the determination unit 23 determines the content of the voice guidance based on the detection results of the Braille detection unit 36 and the surroundings detection unit 37. Therefore, operation guidance suited to the user can be provided.

(2-2) The surrounding detection unit 37 can detect when a visually impaired person touches the periphery of an operation switch while searching for the operation switch to operate it, and the Braille detection unit 36 and the surrounding detection unit 37 can be made not to detect the operation on the operation switch.

(2-3) When a visually impaired person searches for an operation switch, they touch it for more than a specified period of time or touch it multiple times. This operation can be detected by the Braille detection unit 36 and the surrounding area detection unit 37, and it is possible to prevent the Braille detection unit 36 and the surrounding area detection unit 37 from detecting the operation on the operation switch.

(2-4) If the Braille detection unit 36 detects contact with the Braille portion, it is highly likely that the user is visually impaired, and therefore operation guidance suitable for the user can be provided by providing operation guidance for visually impaired people.

Third Embodiment
A third embodiment of the automatic door system will be described below with reference to Fig. 9. The automatic door system of this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in the way that voice guidance is determined. The following description will focus on the differences from the first embodiment.

When an opening/closing instruction is output from the outer open non-contact switch 33 or the outer close non-contact switch 34, the decision unit 23 decides that the voice guidance will be operation guidance for the non-contact switch, and when an opening/closing instruction is output from the outer open button switch 31 or the outer close button switch 32, the decision unit 23 decides that the voice guidance will be operation guidance for the contact switch. The decision unit 23 decides the content of the voice guidance regardless of the timing of the output of the opening/closing instruction from the operation switch.

Next, there will be described a processing procedure of the automatic door system 5. When the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use, the automatic door system 5 waits with the door 4 fully closed.
9, the operation control unit 21 starts the voice guidance for the exterior (step S12). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs the "normal operation guidance" from the outer speaker 35 until the voice guidance is determined.

Then, the operation control unit 21 judges whether or not there is an instruction to open or close the operation switch (step S14). That is, when the user operates the outside open button switch 31, the outside close button switch 32, the outside open non-contact switch 33, and the outside close non-contact switch 34, they output an open or close instruction to the operation controller 20. Therefore, the operation control unit 21 judges whether or not an open or close instruction has been output. The operation controller 20 outputs an open or close instruction to the door controller 10. Therefore, the door control unit 10A drives and controls the door engine based on the open or close instruction to open or close the door 4.

When the operation control unit 21 determines that there is an instruction to open or close the operation switch (step S14: YES), it determines whether or not the instruction is to open or close the non-contact switch (step S22). That is, the decision unit 23 determines whether or not there is an instruction to open or close the non-contact switch in order to determine whether or not the user is aware of the existence of the non-contact switch. Note that step S22 corresponds to a detection step.

If the decision unit 23 determines that the instruction is not for opening or closing a non-contact switch (step S22: NO), it decides to provide voice guidance that does not include non-contact operation guidance (step S16). That is, the decision unit 23 selects voice data for "normal operation guidance." In this way, when an opening or closing instruction is output from a contact switch, operation guidance for the detected switch can be provided. Note that step S16 corresponds to the decision step.

Then, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S17). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting something. Then, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S17: NO), it waits until it is in use. Note that if the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect something even after a predetermined time has passed, the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S20 and ends the process.

On the other hand, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S17: YES), audio guidance that does not include non-contact operation guidance is provided inside the multi-function toilet 1 (step S18). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "normal operation guidance" from the inside speaker 45. Note that step S18 corresponds to the guidance step.

Next, the operation control unit 21 again determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S19). If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S19: YES), the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S18 and waits until the multi-function toilet 1 becomes unused.

On the other hand, if the determination unit 23 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S19: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S20) and ends the process. In other words, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that a decision can be made for a new user since the user has left the multi-function toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 provides non-contact operation guidance until a decision is made.

On the other hand, if the decision unit 23 determines that the instruction is for opening or closing a non-contact switch (step S22: YES), it decides to provide voice guidance including non-contact operation guidance (step S23). That is, the decision unit 23 selects voice data for "non-contact operation guidance." In this way, when an opening or closing instruction is output from a non-contact switch, operation guidance for the detected switch can be provided. Note that step S23 corresponds to the decision step.

The operation control unit 21 then determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S24). That is, the operation control unit 21 determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use based on whether the occupancy sensor 15 is detecting something. If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S24: NO), it waits until it is in use. Note that if the occupancy sensor 15 does not detect something even after a predetermined time has passed, the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S20 and ends the process.

On the other hand, if the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S24: YES), audio guidance including non-contact operation guidance is provided inside the multi-function toilet 1 (step S25). That is, the operation control unit 21 outputs "non-contact operation guidance" from the inside speaker 45. Note that step S25 corresponds to the guidance step.

Next, the operation control unit 21 again determines whether the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S26). If the operation control unit 21 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is in use (step S26: YES), the operation control unit 21 proceeds to step S25 and waits until the multi-function toilet 1 becomes unused.

On the other hand, if the determination unit 23 determines that the multi-function toilet 1 is not in use (step S26: NO), it cancels the determined voice guidance (step S20) and ends the process. In other words, the determination unit 23 cancels the determination of the voice guidance so that a decision can be made for a new user since the user has left the multi-function toilet 1. The operation control unit 21 provides non-contact operation guidance until a decision is made.

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