  • Publication number: 20060169938
    Abstract: An audio-emitting sanitary fixture flusher indicator consists of a water control valve, an IC processing unit capable of controlling water output state, an infrared sensor component, a display screen, and an amplifier component, the individual circuits of which are interconnected. When the user enters the effective, a message shown on the display screen and a tone along with the transmission of music fosters a relaxed mood during use. After the user is finished and leaves the indicator and the original effective, an appropriate volume of water for rinsing and flushing is released, a message is shown on the display screen, and an audible prompt informs the next user that the indicator has already completed its cleaning task and assures readiness for further use. As such, the integrated audio and on-screen notification capability of the present invention effectively facilitates convenient utilization as well as a tranquil mood.
