It has the composition which has.

  As described above, the present invention can provide an excellent effect that it is possible to provide a television with a fall / theft prevention device that enables the television to fall and prevent theft.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
(Embodiment 1)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a television with a toppling / theft prevention device in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. A sensor 120 such as an acceleration sensor or a gyro sensor that detects position variation / acceleration change is connected to the microcomputer 130. When there is a sudden position change / acceleration change 110 from the outside, if the acceleration detection signal 180 from the sensor 120 exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the microcomputer 130 determines that the vehicle has fallen or stolen. When it is determined that the device has fallen or stolen, the toppling / theft prevention device driving unit 170 drives the toppling / theft prevention device.

  Further, in this case, since the outlet is disconnected and electricity may not be supplied from the AC power source, the switch 140 switches the power source from the AC power source 150 from the outlet to the storage battery 160.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the toppling / theft prevention device driving unit 170 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In a normal state, it exists in the state of Fig.2 (a), (c). When the microcomputer 130 determines that it has fallen or stolen, the shock absorber 230 is ejected from the shock absorber ejection device 210 through the ejection holes 220 at the four corners on the front surface to protect the panel breakage of the television receiver. The shock absorber 230 is injected so as to cover the front surface. 2B and 2D show the state after the impact absorbing material 230 is injected.

  FIG. 3 is a diagram showing another fall / theft prevention device driving unit 170 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In the normal state, it is in the state of FIG. When the microcomputer 130 determines that it has fallen or stolen, the state shown in FIG. That is, the stopper 330 of the variable length bar 310 is released by signal detection, and the spring 320 causes the variable length bar 310 to jump out. The variable length bar 310 rotates around the rotation shaft 350. The variable length bar 310 has a variable length bar internal spring 340 therein. The variable-length rod internal spring 340 extends quickly as the spring 320 extends. As a result, the length of the variable length bar 310 is also increased. Since this rod has a variable length, it can absorb an impact in the posture when it falls. An external view of this state is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram showing another toppling / theft prevention device driving unit 170 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 4B is a block diagram showing the configuration of the toppling / theft prevention device driving unit 170. If it is determined that the microcomputer 130 has fallen or stolen, the microcomputer 130 drives the audio circuit 430 to notify the alarm sound 410 with the speaker 440, drives the screen display control circuit 450 to display the warning display 420 with the display 460, Call attention to people. This alerts you to dangers such as underlaying your TV or injuring yourself when you fall. An external view of this state is shown in FIG.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing another toppling / theft prevention device driving unit 170 according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. FIG. 5B is a block diagram showing the configuration of the toppling / theft prevention device driving unit 170. If it is determined that the microcomputer 130 has fallen or stolen, the microcomputer 130 drives the transmission modem 510 and is connected to the Internet 530 by a cable. In the case of a cable notifying the target person or using a cable standard having a transmission band (such as the OpenCable RDC in North America), the cable broadcasting station 540 is notified by the transmission modem 510. As a result, when the signal is detected, it is possible to notify the mobile phone of the TV owner or a security company. The threshold value is stepped to detect earthquakes, and the cable broadcasting station 540 can switch to a news program depending on the degree. An external view of this state is shown in FIG.

  The present invention is useful for avoiding the danger of falling over the wall due to the thin wall of the television receiver and the increase in the size of the television receiver. Also effective during theft.
