BATHING BEHAVIOR DETECTING APPARATUS

摘要

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect behavior of a person during bathing without being affected by an illuminance and color difference to apply to health management. Ž<P>SOLUTION: A bathing behavior detecting apparatus includes a movement detecting part 3b and a processing device 4b. The movement detecting part 3b is placed where a person entering/leaving a bathroom passes and configured by a load sensor which detects his/her weight when he/she steps on it entering/leaving the bathroom, and detects the movement of the person entering/leaving the bathroom by an output of the load sensor. The processing device 4b has a body weight estimation processing function 42 to estimate body weight of the person entering/leaving the bathroom by the output of the load sensor, a bather identification processing function 43 to identify a bather from the estimated body weight estimated by the body weight estimation processing function 42, and a behavior detection processing function 41a to detect the behavior of the bather identified by the bather identification processing function 43 by using at least the movement detection result by the movement detecting part 3b.
