PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bathroom TV device which can accurately detect an occurrence of an abnormal state by accurately monitoring a state of a person who takes a bath during bathing.SOLUTION: A distance image sensor 81 is annexed to a television body 71 disposed on one side in a longitudinal direction of a bathtub in such a manner to face the other side in the longitudinal direction of the bathtub. Detected distance data for each pixel is recorded in a time-series, and a person who takes a bath is cut out from a background configuration of the bathtub that is a fixed object and is recognized. A level is compared between a lower edge position of a head part of the person who takes a bath and a water surface position detected by a water surface position detecting means 82 by an abnormal state determining part 93. When the head part is higher, a warning is issued by a warning processing part 94 on the basis of continuance of a state where there is no movements of the person who takes a bath for a given lenth of time. When the head part is lower than the water surface position, the warning is immediately issued. A TV is operated upon detection of a gesture pattern registered in advance by monitoring the movement of a specific region of the person who takes a bath.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】 入浴中の入浴者の状態を的確に監視して異常状態の発生を的確に検知し得る浴室用テレビ装置を提供する。【解決手段】 浴槽の長手方向一側に設置したテレビ本体71に、距離画像センサ81を浴槽の長手方向他側に向けて付設する。検出した画素毎の距離データを時系列に記録し、固定物である浴槽の背景形状から入浴者を切り出して認識する。異常状態判定部93で、入浴者の頭部の下縁位置と、水面位置検出手段82により検出される水面位置とを高低比較する。頭部が高ければ、入浴者の動きのない状態が一定時間継続することで警報処理部94により警報を発し、頭部が水面位置よりも低ければ、即座に警報を発する。入浴者の特定部位の動きを監視し、予め登録したジェスチャパターンの検出によりテレビ操作する。【選択図】 図3
