Remote control device
A remote control device according to an embodiment includes an operation button, a generator, an electrical storage part, electronic paper, and a controller. The operation button is for remotely operating a wet-area device. The generator generates electrical power by utilizing energy when the operation button is pressed. The electrical storage part stores the electrical power generated by the generator; the electronic paper displays a setting state of the wet-area device. The controller controls a refresh and a display-switching of the electronic paper by utilizing the electrical power stored in the electrical storage part. The operation button is marked with information showing a function of the operation button. The controller performs the refresh in the case where the function is not realized when the operation button is pressed.
1. A remote control device, comprising:
an operation button for remotely operating a wet-area device;
a generator generating electrical power by utilizing energy when the operation button is pressed;
an electrical storage part storing the electrical power generated by the generator;
an electronic paper including a display region and displaying a setting state of the wet-area device in the display region; and
a controller controlling a refresh and a display-switching of the electronic paper by utilizing the electrical power stored in the electrical storage part, a color of the display region being reversed in the refresh, the setting state displayed in the display region being switched in response to an operation toward the operation button in the display-switching,
the operation button being marked with information showing a part of a function of the operation button,
the controller performing the refresh in the case where another function different from the part of the function shown by the information is realized when the operation button is pressed.
2. The remote control device according to claim 1 , wherein the wet-area device is a sanitary washing device including a nozzle discharging water toward a human private part.
3. A remote control device, comprising:
an operation button for remotely operating a wet-area device;
a generator generating electrical power by utilizing energy when the operation button is pressed;
an electrical storage part storing the electrical power generated by the generator;
an electronic paper including a display region and displaying a setting state of the wet-area device in the display region; and
a controller controlling a refresh and a display-switching of the electronic paper by utilizing the electrical power stored in the electrical storage part, a color of the display region being reversed in the refresh, the setting state displayed in the display region being switched in response to an operation toward the operation button in the display-switching,
the operation button being marked with information showing a function of the operation button,
the controller notifying that the function shown by the information is not realized by performing the refresh in the case where the function shown by the information is not realized when the operation button is pressed.
4. The remote control device according to claim 3 , wherein
the function is for modifying the setting state, and
the controller performs the refresh in the case where the modification of the setting state corresponding to the operation button cannot be performed.
5. The remote control device according to claim 3 , comprising a plurality of the operation buttons,
the controller not accepting operations by the plurality of operation buttons in a prescribed interval after one of the plurality of operation buttons is pressed,
the controller performing the refresh in the case where one of the plurality of operation buttons is pressed in the interval.
6. A remote control device, comprising:
an operation button for remotely operating a wet-area device;
a generator generating electrical power by utilizing energy when the operation button is pressed;
an electrical storage part storing the electrical power generated by the generator;
an electronic paper including a display region and displaying a setting state of the wet-area device in the display region; and
a controller controlling a refresh and a display-switching of the electronic paper by utilizing the electrical power stored in the electrical storage part, a color of the display region being reversed in the refresh, the setting state displayed in the display region being switched in response to an operation toward the operation button in the display-switching,
the operation button being marked with information showing a function of the operation button,
the controller performing the refresh without switching the displayed setting state of the electronic paper in the case where the function shown by the information is not realized when the operation button is pressed.
