The heat source is disposed in the chamber. The heat-conducting member is disposed in the chamber and connected to the heat source for transferring the heat generated by the heat source to the toilet seat so that the toilet seat reaches a uniform temperature.

A system of household appliances is configured to provide services according to user identity. The system includes a first appliance, a server or other network device, and a second appliance. The first appliance is configured to collect sensor data associated with an identity of a user. The server or other network device is configured to receive the sensor data from the first appliance and analyze the sensor data to determine the identity of the user. The second appliance is configured to provide a device function to the user based on the identity determined from the sensor data collected by the first appliance.

The toilet apparatus includes a main part and a toilet seat. The main part includes a case cover covering a function part and is attached on a toilet bowl. The toilet seat is attached rotatably to the case cover, and shifts between a closed state and an open state. The case cover includes an extending portion. A height becomes low toward forward. The toilet seat includes a toilet seat main body and a heating part. The toilet seat main body includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is positioned in front of the case cover in the closed state. The second portion rises backward from the first portion in the closed state, and overlaps the extending portion. An upper end surface of the extending portion changes to lower a height toward forward and to lower a height toward a side.

The toilet seat is attached rotatably to the case cover. The toilet seat has a closed state and an open state. The case cover includes an extending portion, a height of the extending portion becoming low toward forward, and a toilet seat pivot support portion provided backward the extending portion, and pivotally supporting the toilet seat. The toilet seat includes a first portion positioned forward the case cover in the closed state, and a second portion rising backward from the first portion in the closed state, overlapping the extending portion, and being pivotally supported to the toilet seat pivot support portion.

There is provided a toilet apparatus. The toilet apparatus includes a main part, a toilet seat, and a toilet lid. The main part includes a function part, and a case cover covering the function part. The toilet seat is attached rotatably to the case cover. The toilet lid is attached rotatably to the case cover. The toilet lid shifts between a closed state covering the toilet seat and an open state exposing the toilet seat. The toilet lid includes a lid main body covering upward the toilet seat in the closed state, and a hanging portion hanging from an outer edge of the lid main body, and covering a side of the toilet seat in the closed state. A lower end portion of an inside surface of the hanging portion changes to spread outside toward downward.

Provided is a toilet seat assembly comprising: a bidet housing for defining the appearance of a bidet; a hinge member which is fixed to the inner side of the bidet housing and is provided with a shaft, wherein the hinge member is provided with a circular ring-shaped coupling groove formed along the outer circumference of the shaft; and a toilet seat connected to the shaft so as to allow rotation thereon, wherein the bidet housing is provided with a coupling protrusion protruding to the inner side so as to be inserted into the coupling groove. Thus, it is possible to prevent moisture from permeating into the inside of the bidet housing, and to facilitate wiring of wires for supplying electricity to a heating device provided in the toilet seat.

In one example, a toilet seat assembly includes a toilet seat, a thin film heater adhered to a top surface of the toilet seat, and a coating of injected molded material on a surface of the thin film heater. In another example, a toilet seat assembly includes a toilet seat frame, and an electrically conductive polymer heater supported by the toilet seat frame, wherein the electrically conductive polymer heater includes carbon fiber and polypropylene.

A communication system provides feedback data for at least one water consuming device. The communication system includes a data collection interface, a controller, and an output interface. The data collection interface is configured to receive user data from at least one collection device. The controller is configured to perform an analysis of the user data from the at least one collection device. The output interface is configured to provide feedback data based on the analysis of the user data to a water consuming device.

According to one embodiment, a toilet seat apparatus that includes a main part mounted at a rear upper part of a toilet, a toilet seat provided rotatably with respect to the main part, and a radio wave sensor being provided in the interior of the main part and using a radio wave to sense a human body; and in the state in which the toilet seat is lowered, the toilet seat covers the radio wave sensor, and the radio wave passes through the toilet seat and is radiated frontward of the radio wave sensor.
