A toilet device includes a toilet seat device, a radio wave sensor, and a controller. The toilet seat device is provided on a toilet bowl. The controller is configured to operate the toilet seat device based on a signal outputted from the radio wave sensor. The radio wave sensor is being operable for detecting presence of a human body in a first area including front of the toilet seat device, detecting motion of a human body in a second area including the front of the toilet seat device and a region outside the first area, and determining sensing of the human body based on detection result of the motion of the human body and detection result of the presence of the human body.

A toilet seat includes a body, a bottom plate, and a joining member. The body includes a seating part and a side wall part. The side wall part extends from each of an inner end and an outer end of the seating part. The bottom plate includes a bottom plate part and a protrusion part. The bottom plate part and the seating part face each other. The protrusion part protrudes laterally from the bottom plate part and is configured to be pressed by an end of the side wall part. The joining member joins the body and the bottom plate. The joining member is formed of a filling material poured to closely contact a side surface of the bottom plate part and a non-pressing surface other than a surface pressing the protrusion part on the end of the side wall part.

A toilet apparatus for providing automatic user identification is provided. The automatic identification uses a combination of an instrumented toilet seat and an instrumented foot scale to provide user specific identification data. User health trends may be saved and reported based on the automatic user identification. User identification also allows preconfigured toilet control settings to be loaded into memory upon user identification.

An intelligent toilet seat, a toilet and a monitoring system are provided. The intelligent toilet seat includes: a toilet seat box including a seat box housing, wherein the seat box housing defines a cavity therein; a toilet seat ring pivotally connected with the toilet seat box; a reminder button arranged on a side wall of the seat box housing and configured to accept an input operation to generate a trigger signal; and a control device accommodated in the cavity and including a control module and an IoT communication module, wherein the control module is electrically connected with the reminder button and the IoT communication module respectively, and is configured to trigger the IoT communication module to wirelessly send a reminder signal to an outside upon receiving the trigger signal from the reminder button.

An object is to provide an electrostatic capacitance sensor that can expand the detection range without enlarging the sensor electrode and does not need to be adjusted for each type of equipment according to the lineup of equipment in which the electrostatic capacitance sensor is installed. An electrostatic capacitance sensor (1) comprises a sensor electrode (2), a detection device (4) for detecting the user's touch operation to a detection region (8) based on a change in the capacitance of the sensor electrode (2), and a conductor (3) provided in the detection region (8) where a touch operation is detected. The conductor (3) is disposed opposite to the sensor electrode (2) with a gap therebetween or with a dielectric interposed therebetween, the area of the conductor (3), as viewed from a direction in which the sensor electrode (2) and the conductor (3) face each other, is larger than the area of the sensor electrode (2), and a part of the conductor (3) faces the sensor electrode (2).

An automated toilet system includes at least one toilet with a toilet bowl fluidly coupled via a flush valve to a source of water, a seat pivotally coupled to one of the toilet bowl, wall, or structural member; a seat mechanism; at least one seat position sensor configured to detect a position of the seat; a user detection sensor configured to detect at least one attribute of a user; and a sanitization system. A processor is communicatively coupled to at least one of the flush valve, the seat mechanism, the at least one seat position sensor, the user detection sensor, and the sanitization system. A computer memory includes instructions that cause the processor to perform functions including actuating: the flush valve; the seat mechanism, to one of raise the seat and lower the seat; and the sanitizing system to sanitize at least one of the toilet bowl and the seat.

A toilet seat arrangement includes a toilet seat that is installed above a toilet bowl. A bidet nozzle is installed on the toilet seat and ejects water into a space above the toilet bowl such that the water falls into the toilet bowl. A water level sensor is installed on the toilet seat and detects a level of water in the toilet bowl. The water level sensor transmits a signal indicative of the level of water in the toilet bowl. A shutoff valve allows water to flow to a toilet tank fill valve when the shutoff valve is in an open position, and prevents water from flowing to the toilet tank fill valve when the shutoff valve is in a closed position. An electronic processor controls whether the shutoff valve is in the open position or the closed position dependent upon the signal from the water level sensor.

A heated seat device for portable toilets is provided. The device is comprised of a heated toilet seat device comprising a seat equipped with antimicrobial coatings for hygiene and a heating element for user comfort. The heating element, which may be a thin-film or a positive temperature coefficient (PTC) type, uses flexible conductive materials or ceramic components to provide adjustable heat. The device includes a control mechanism allowing users to regulate temperature via physical or digital interfaces and may offer preset temperature ranges. Additionally, the seat incorporates a timer to prevent overheating and conserve power. Power is supplied by a rechargeable battery connected to a solar panel, ensuring energy efficiency through optimized sunlight exposure.

A toilet seat device includes: a toilet seat part; and a main body part wherein the toilet seat part is mounted to be attachable and detachable, wherein the main body part transmits electric power to the toilet seat part using wireless power transmission, the toilet seat part receives electric power from the main body part using wireless power transmission and includes a load to which the electric power received from the main body part is supplied, and at least one of the toilet seat part and the main body part includes an output adjusting unit adjusting a power value of electric power output to the load by the toilet seat part without using wireless communication between the toilet seat part and the main body part.
