Wherein, according to the level value output characteristic of each frequency of the above-mentioned sound source, match various functions of the above-mentioned warm water bidet to realize closing or opening the function, after opening the function, can realize the concrete control according to the change amount of ADC voltage value as the above-mentioned flat value output characteristic.
Therefore, the function of the warm water bidet is preset so as to be respectively matched with the functions of the warm water bidet according to the level value output characteristics per frequency in the above-mentioned step (a), and the level value output characteristics per frequency of the sound source is analyzed when the sound source is output through the speaker in the use environment of the warm water bidet by the user's selection in the above-mentioned step (a).
In this case, the step (a) includes: a step of converting a digital sound source into an analog sound source by a Codec IC (Codec IC) 101; a step of classifying the level value per frequency of the analog sound source converted by the codec IC101 by an Equalizer integrated circuit (Equalizer IC) 102; and a step of analyzing the level value output characteristics per frequency of the analog sound sources classified by the above-describedequalizer IC 102.
Although the digital sound source may be stored in thememory 104 of thecontrol unit 100 of the warm water bidet as shown in fig. 1, thecontrol unit 100 may wirelessly receive the digital sound source from the terminal 200 according to the communication connection between thefirst communication module 105 and thesecond communication module 201 in a state where thecontrol unit 100 having the first communication module (Bluetooth)105 and the terminal 200 having thesecond communication module 201 are connected by communication as shown in fig. 2.
