To prevent the occurrence of a falling accident in a toilet by estimating an act of a person who requires nursing care and who is instructed to be helped by a care-giver such as a nurse when the person stands up after the completion of an excretory act in the toilet.
Characteristically, this toilet equipment, which is equipped with an excretory state detecting means for detecting the state of the progress of the excretory act, comprises a communication means for outputting a signal to the outside of the toilet equipment on the basis of the result of detection by the excretory state detecting means, and a notification need/no-need determination means for providing instructions on the need/no-need of the output of the signal to the outside by the transmission means. This enables the checking of the progress of the excretory act itself. Thus, since the care-giver such as the nurse can take action by estimating the state of the excretory act of the person, who requires the nursing care, in the toilet, he/she can prevent the occurrence of the falling accident in the toilet.
