Detailed Description

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

In order to make the aforementioned objects, features and advantages of the present application more comprehensible, the present application is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and the detailed description.

Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of an elevator dispatching method provided in an embodiment of the present application is schematically illustrated, where the method may be applied to a computer device, such as a control device in an elevator management background, and may specifically be a server or an electronic device, where a product type of the computer device in the present application is not limited, as shown in fig. 1, the method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

step S11, acquiring the image information of the elevator waiting floor and the number of stopping floors of the elevator stopping floor;

in this embodiment practical application, can all set up image acquisition equipment at each floor of elevator, like the camera, be used for gathering the image information of place floor, consequently, the image information of waiting the ladder floor can be the image acquisition equipment who waits in the ladder user place floor and gather to send to computer equipment, this application is all not limited to the mounting means of the image acquisition equipment of each floor, and the triggering mode, the collection mode etc. that carry out image information collection do not, can dispose according to actual need is nimble.

The image information of the elevator waiting floor can indicate information such as the number and the identity of elevator waiting personnel so as to realize reasonable dispatching of the elevator, and the specific implementation process can refer to but is not limited to the following enumerated embodiments.

The number of the stopping floors of the elevator stopping floors can be obtained by analyzing the elevator taking request of the elevator, in the application of actual elevator taking, when a user needs to take the elevator, the user usually arrives at the elevator, selects the floor needing to arrive, namely the elevator stopping floor, through a mobile phone, a house card, a button or the like, generates a corresponding elevator taking request and sends the elevator taking request to the computer equipment, so that the computer equipment can know which floor the user needs to take the elevator to arrive according to the elevator taking request, and further the control of the elevator operation is realized.

It can be seen that the elevator waiting floor referred to in the present application may be the floor where the elevator waiting user is located, and the stop floor may be the floor where the elevator waiting user wants to reach.

The generation method of the elevator boarding request is not limited to the several methods listed above, and in general, the elevator boarding request includes the stop floor of the elevator, that is, after the computer device receives the elevator boarding request input by the elevator waiting user for any one of the elevators, the computer device can obtain the stop floor number of the elevator stop floor reached by the elevator waiting user by analyzing the elevator boarding request.

Step S12, analyzing the image information to obtain an analysis result;

in practical application of this embodiment, the image information may be determined and analyzed according to a preset elevator dispatching rule, and a desired analysis result, such as the number of people waiting for the elevator, the identity of a user waiting for the elevator (e.g., the identity of a predetermined user such as a child, an old person, a pregnant woman, or a disabled person), and the like, so that the content specifically included in the analysis result obtained in step S12 may be determined according to the elevator dispatching rule, or may be flexibly adjusted according to a change of an actual dispatching requirement.

In addition, the image analysis technology can be utilized to realize the analysis of the obtained image information, and the specific analysis process is not detailed. For example, for the scheduled users listed in the upper level, the features of each scheduled user may be generated in advance, and then, in the process of analyzing the acquired image information, the features extracted from the image information may be compared with the features generated in advance, and if the comparison is successful, it may be considered that a corresponding scheduled user exists in the elevator waiting users; on the contrary, it can be considered that there is no predetermined user or the like among the elevator waiting users, and therefore, for such analysis, the present embodiment may perform feature extraction on the acquired image information to obtain the features of the users included in the image information, but is not limited to such analysis.

Optionally, the present application may also generate a corresponding user portrait for each predetermined user different from the public user, so that when analyzing the acquired image information, the present embodiment may determine whether the image information includes a user image, and if so, may further analyze the user image to determine whether the user image corresponds to the user portrait of any predetermined user, and the present application does not detail a specific process of the image analysis.

It can be seen that, the implementation manners of step S12 in this embodiment are various, and the image analysis manner can be flexibly selected according to the pre-configured elevator dispatching rule to obtain the corresponding analysis result, and is not limited to the above-listed manners.

And a step S13, based on the analysis result and the number of stopping floors, realizing the dispatching of at least one elevator.

Following the above analysis, the analysis result obtained by analyzing the image information may include the number of elevator waiting persons, the number of elevator waiting persons who are waiting, whether the elevator waiting users meet the predetermined users, and the number of stopping floors indicates the floors where the elevator waiting persons need to stop.

In the traditional dispatching of the elevator, the elevator normally stops in sequence according to the sequencing of the number of stopping floors, the number of elevator waiting persons on each stopping floor cannot be considered, the identity of an elevator waiting user cannot be considered, the running mode of the elevator cannot be dynamically adjusted, the situation that a plurality of persons are crowded in the same elevator and the like is often caused, and the elevator taking requirements of preset users cannot be met preferentially.

In order to improve the above problem, in the embodiment of the present application, while the number of stopping floors of an elevator stopping floor is obtained, an analysis result is obtained by analyzing the collected image information of the floor, and then the scheduling of at least one elevator is realized by combining the analysis result and the number of stopping floors.

For example, it is known from the analysis result of the image that among elevator waiting users at a certain stop floor, a predetermined user is present, and the elevator can be preferentially controlled to reach the stop floor, so that the elevator taking requirement of the predetermined user is preferentially met; if the analysis result shows that the elevator waiting personnel on a certain stopping floor leave, the elevator can be controlled not to stop at the stopping floor; if the analysis result shows that the number of elevator waiting persons on a certain stop floor is large, a plurality of elevators can be controlled to reach the stop floor, congestion is avoided, and the like.

To sum up, in order to realize the dynamic scheduling to the elevator, improve the flexibility of elevator scheduling, this embodiment is when the number of berths that acquires elevator berth floor, can also acquire the image information of waiting the elevator floor, and analyze this image information, and then combine many-sided factor of analysis result and the number of berths, realize the dispatch to an at least elevator, for prior art only according to the sequencing result of the number of berths, the scheme of the operation of control corresponding elevator compares, this embodiment is when satisfying the elevator demand of waiting the elevator user, can also be based on the current flow of taking the elevator of each elevator floor, special situations etc., the operation mode of dynamic adjustment elevator, improve the flexibility of elevator scheduling.

Referring to fig. 2, a flow chart of another elevator dispatching method provided in the embodiment of the present application is a schematic flow chart of the elevator dispatching method, which may be a specific implementation manner of the elevator dispatching method described in the above embodiment, but is not limited to the implementation manner described in the embodiment, and as shown in fig. 2, the method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

step S21, acquiring the image information of the elevator waiting floor and the number of stopping floors of the elevator stopping floor;

step S22, analyzing the image information to obtain an analysis result;

regarding the implementation process of step S21 and step S22, reference may be made to the description of the above-mentioned embodiments of step S11 and step S12.

Step S23, obtaining a pre-configured elevator dispatching rule;

in this embodiment, the elevator dispatching rule may be a rule for controlling how an elevator operates, and the specific content included in the rule is not limited in this application. For example, controlling the elevator to preferentially reach the elevator waiting floor where the scheduled user is located; if the number of people waiting for the elevator on a certain elevator waiting floor is large, a plurality of elevators are controlled to arrive at the elevator waiting floor for elevator waiting users to take, congestion in the elevator is avoided, the contents of elevator dispatching rules can be determined according to actual needs, the elevator dispatching rules can be correspondingly adjusted according to newly-added requirements, changing requirements and the like, and the specific adjusting mode is not detailed.

Optionally, the elevator taking situations that the user may take the elevator are classified, and each elevator taking situation is used as an event to configure the corresponding elevator dispatching rule. Specifically, information such as the number and identity of elevator waiting users can be obtained for any elevator waiting floor, a plurality of events are generated, elevator taking requirements corresponding to different events may be different, and configured elevator dispatching rules are different. Based on the method and the device, the elevator dispatching rules can be correspondingly configured according to the actual elevator taking requirements of each event, and the corresponding relation between each event and the elevator dispatching rules is established. Therefore, after the current event is determined by analyzing the image information and the number of stopping layers, the corresponding elevator dispatching rule can be directly called. As analyzed above, the elevator dispatching rules corresponding to the events can be adjusted according to the change of the elevator taking demands.

As another optional embodiment of the present application, the configured elevator dispatching rules of the above optional embodiment for different events may be used as a sub-rule, and the elevator dispatching rules of all events form the elevator dispatching rules, in this case, after determining the current event, the elevator dispatching rules need to be queried, so that the event can be known, and the elevator dispatching can be implemented according to what rules.

It can be seen that the elevator dispatching rule pre-configured in step S23 may include a general rule for implementing elevator dispatching, or may include multiple sub-rules corresponding to different events, and the content and the representation form of the elevator dispatching rule are not limited in the present application.

Step S24, using the obtained analysis result and the number of stop floors to inquire the elevator dispatching rule and generate a corresponding dispatching instruction;

for the control equipment for realizing elevator dispatching, the configured elevator dispatching rules stored in advance can be combined with the stored elevator dispatching rules to inquire the stored elevator dispatching rules by analyzing the acquired image information of the elevator waiting floors and knowing the analysis results of the number, the identities and the like of elevator waiting users, and then corresponding dispatching instructions are generated. It can be seen that the scheduling instruction includes the queried scheduling content, and the output form of the scheduling instruction is not limited in the present application.

Step S25, responding the dispatching command, controlling at least one elevator to run;

following the above analysis, the dispatching order includes different dispatching contents and different dispatching methods for at least one elevator, and the specific dispatching method can refer to the above description of the elevator dispatching rule section, but is not limited to the above-listed dispatching methods.

Step S26, obtaining the residual time of arrival of the current elevator stopping to each elevator landing;

in this embodiment, when it is determined that there is a user waiting for an elevator at any time, the remaining time of arrival of the current elevator at each floor waiting for an elevator can be calculated by using the operation speed of the elevator and the operation distance of the elevator from the current stop floor to each floor waiting for an elevator user according to the elevator dispatching rule, and the remaining time of arrival is continuously updated as the elevator operates.

It should be noted that in the process of controlling the operation of the elevator, the operation of the elevator may not be controlled according to the order of the elevator waiting floors from small to large or from large to small, and the stopping order of the elevator (i.e. the order in which the elevator stops at the elevator waiting floors) may be determined according to the information of the number of elevator waiting people, the identity of elevator waiting users, and the like, so that the moving distance of the elevator reaching each elevator waiting floor may not be the physical distance between the current stopping floor of the elevator and the elevator waiting floors, or may not be the moving distance of the elevator from the current stopping floor to the maximum elevator waiting floor and then to the current elevator waiting floor, which needs to be determined based on the elevator dispatching rules.

For example, referring to the schematic view of the operation scene of the elevator shown in fig. 3, when the current elevator is located at floor 1, the floors of the elevator waiting users include floor 5, floor 8, floor 15 and floor 25, and each elevator waiting user needs to go to floor 1, that is, the floor of the elevator waiting user is floor 1, if there is a pregnant woman in the elevator waiting users at floor 8 and the other elevator waiting users are not the predetermined users, according to the elevator dispatching rule configured in the application, the elevator may be directly controlled to operate from floor 1 to floor 8, and after taking the elevator, the elevator waiting user at floor 8 operates to floor 1, and then arrives from floor 1 to floor 25, floor 15, floor 5 and floor 1 in sequence, so as to meet the elevator taking requirements of other elevator waiting users.

Therefore, for the elevator waiting user of the 8 th floor, the residual arrival time of the elevator reaching the 8 th floor at the starting time, namely S1/v, can be calculated by directly utilizing the floor distance between the 1 st floor and the 8 th floor, namely S1, and the running speed v of the elevator; as the elevator travels from floor 1 to floor 8, the distance between the elevator location and the landing location of floor 8 decreases, and the calculated remaining time to arrival decreases.

For the elevator-waiting users in other elevator-waiting floors, as described above in the elevator dispatching rules of this embodiment, the elevator may not directly run from floor 1 to the elevator-waiting floor where the elevator is located, nor run from floor 1 to the highest elevator-waiting floor and then sequentially reach the lower elevator-waiting floors, and the running path of the elevator needs to be determined based on the elevator dispatching rules, so as to calculate the arrival remaining time of the elevator at each elevator-waiting floor, and update the arrival remaining time in real time.

Taking the 15 th elevator floor as an example, as the elevator running route shown on the right side in fig. 3, only the direct distance S between the elevator floors is indicated in fig. 3, and the direct distance between the elevator running to other positions and the elevator floors is not indicated. After a user waiting for 8 floors arrives at floor 1 by taking an elevator, the elevator starts from floor 1 again, and can move to the highest floor 25 of the elevator waiting for the elevator according to the elevator dispatching rule, and the user waiting for the elevator enters the elevator and then arrives at floor 15, so that for the floor 15 of the elevator waiting for the elevator, the actual running path of the elevator can be (2S 1+ S2+ S3), the quotient of the path and the running speed is calculated, the arrival residual time of the floor 15 of the elevator from the beginning of the elevator running can be obtained, along with the running of the elevator, the running path of the elevator arriving at floor 15 can be continuously reduced from (2S 1+ S2+ S3), and if the user starts from floor 1 again, the required running path is changed to (S2+ S3), and the corresponding arrival residual time can be reduced.

In the above example, the calculation process of the remaining arrival time of other stairway floors is similar, and the description of this embodiment is omitted. It should be noted that, if the content of the pre-configured elevator dispatching rule is changed in the elevator waiting scene shown in fig. 3, the actual path to be traveled when the elevator stops to each elevator waiting floor will also be changed, and since the traveling speed of the elevator is usually determined, the calculated remaining arrival time of the current elevator stopping to each elevator waiting floor may be different, and may be determined based on the content of the currently configured elevator dispatching rule, the calculation principles are similar, and the present application is not described in detail.

Step S27, the time remaining for arrival is displayed on the corresponding stairway floor.

As analyzed above, during the operation of the elevator, the remaining arrival time of the elevator stopping to each elevator landing is dynamic, and this embodiment can display the remaining arrival time at the corresponding elevator landing, so that the elevator waiting user at the elevator landing can know the waiting time, thereby avoiding unnecessary waiting, for example, for the elevator waiting user at the lower elevator landing, if the waiting time is known to be longer, the user can select to climb the stairs, etc.

It should be noted that, the present application does not limit the display mode of the arrival remaining time at the corresponding elevator waiting floor, such as output through a display screen, output in a voice playing mode, and the like.

Alternatively, the present application may periodically or real-time update step S21 and use the updated image information and landing floor to adjust control of at least one elevator. If the elevator waiting user with the lower elevator waiting floor knows that the time for waiting for the elevator is long, the user can update the image information of the elevator waiting floor and the stop floor after selecting to walk the elevator, so that the stop of the elevator on the elevator waiting floor and the stop of the elevator on the corresponding stop floor are cancelled. As in the above example, after the 5 th floor user selects to walk the stairs, the elevator can not stop at the 5 th floor any more, thereby reducing the meaningless stop of the elevator and improving the scheduling accuracy of the elevator.

Therefore, the elevator dispatching method greatly improves dispatching flexibility, can better meet elevator taking requirements of different elevator waiting users and improves competitiveness of elevator operators by utilizing analysis results of image information of elevator waiting floors and the number of stopping floors of elevator stopping floors and inquiring pre-configured elevator dispatching rules to quickly and accurately obtain current required dispatching instructions to realize dispatching control of at least one elevator and meet elevator taking requirements of the elevator waiting users of at least one current floor.

And, can only show the floor that the elevator is located at present for current elevator, this embodiment can also show the arrival remaining time that current elevator stopped to each elevator waiting floor for the waiting elevator user knows the latency of taking advantage of the ladder at any time, helps the user to rationally select the mode of going downstairs/upstairs, has avoided meaningless waiting.

Referring to fig. 4, a flow chart of another elevator dispatching method provided in the embodiment of the present application is schematically shown, and this embodiment may be an optional refinement of the elevator dispatching method described in the above embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, the method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

step S31, acquiring the image information of the elevator waiting floor and the number of stopping floors of the elevator stopping floor;

step S32, analyzing the image information to obtain the number of people waiting for the elevator;

in this embodiment, the image information of each elevator waiting floor is obtained, and then, the image analysis technology is used to analyze each image information to obtain the number of elevator waiting persons of each elevator waiting floor, that is, the number of elevator waiting persons obtained in step S32 is the number of elevator waiting persons corresponding to each elevator waiting floor. The method for analyzing the image information is not limited by the application, and the method for analyzing whether the image information is a person or not and the identity of the person, such as a pregnant woman, a child, an old man and the like, is not limited.

Step S33, obtaining a pre-configured elevator dispatching rule;

regarding the implementation process of step S33, the description process of step S23 described above may be referred to.

Step S34, inquiring the elevator dispatching rule, obtaining dispatching contents matched with the number of people waiting for the elevator and the number of stopping floors, and generating a dispatching instruction containing the dispatching contents;

in this embodiment, through the number of berthings and the number of the elevator waiting people of each berthing floor who acquires, can learn all the floor distributions that the elevator waiting user will go, can also further learn the number of the elevator waiting people that each berthing floor corresponds, the number of the elevator waiting people on each elevator waiting floor in addition, later, this application can follow these several aspects comprehensive analysis, confirms the dispatch instruction of elevator.

In combination with the above analysis, the present application can enumerate various elevator taking conditions in advance, configure corresponding scheduling contents as corresponding events, and form elevator scheduling rules, so that, in this embodiment, after determining the current elevator taking conditions by analyzing currently obtained data, corresponding scheduling contents can be directly obtained from the pre-configured elevator scheduling rules, and a scheduling instruction is generated, and the scheduling contents do not need to be obtained through online analysis, thereby improving elevator scheduling efficiency. Of course, the elevator dispatching method does not exclude the mode of generating the elevator dispatching rule by online analysis.

Optionally, if a plurality of elevators are installed in the building, in order to avoid that a plurality of people crowd the same elevator, the embodiment can control the plurality of elevators to operate simultaneously instead of controlling only one elevator to operate; or at least one elevator can be controlled to arrive at the elevator waiting floor with a large number of elevator waiting persons and stop, and at least one elevator can arrive at other elevator waiting floors and stop.

Step S35, responding the dispatching command, controlling different elevators to stop at different elevator waiting floors;

following the above analysis, the elevator waiting number of people of different elevator waiting floors is probably different, and the stop floor that the elevator waiting user went to also probably is different, and in order to avoid crowded same elevator of many people, this application can shunt elevator waiting user, and first elevator is taken to first part elevator waiting user, and second elevator is taken to second part elevator etc. controls many elevators in view of the above and stops according to respective traffic route, goes to different elevator waiting floors respectively.

The elevator control method comprises the steps of obtaining a plurality of elevator control information, obtaining the number of elevator control information, and controlling the elevators to stop at the elevator waiting floors, wherein the elevator waiting floors where different elevators stop can be completely different or partially overlapped, especially under the condition that the number of people on one elevator waiting floor is too large, the elevators can stop at the elevator waiting floor, under other conditions, the elevator waiting floors where different elevators stop can be controlled to be completely different, and the specific control mode of the elevators in the step S35 is not limited.

And step S36, outputting the first prompt message on the elevator landing.

The embodiment mainly explains the situation that a plurality of elevators exist in a building, after the control modes of different elevators, namely the running paths of the elevators are determined, first prompt information can be output at each elevator waiting floor, and a user waiting for the elevators is guided by the first prompt information to go to different elevators to ride the elevators, such as passengers going to 7 th and 15 th floors, and please ride No. 2 elevators.

The first prompt information is output in real time on each elevator waiting floor, or the first prompt information is output by the elevator waiting floor when the elevator arrives at the elevator waiting floor, so as to remind the elevator waiting user to go to different elevators to take the elevators, which can be determined based on configured elevator dispatching rules, and the details of the first prompt information are not repeated herein.

Optionally, the present application may further obtain the remaining time of arrival when the elevator stops at each elevator waiting floor, and output second prompt information on the corresponding elevator waiting floor by using the remaining time of arrival to prompt the elevator waiting user to continue or stop elevator waiting, select other ways to go down/up the building, and the like.

To sum up, this embodiment is in dispatching the in-process to the elevator, not only can utilize the stop floor of the elevator waiting user, still can combine the elevator waiting number of people on each elevator waiting floor, confirm the dispatch instruction to the elevator, especially under the condition that has many elevators, respond to this dispatch instruction, can control different elevators and go to different elevator waiting floors, and take advantage of ladder guide information at elevator waiting floor output, realize taking advantage of the ladder to elevator waiting user's reposition of redundant personnel, avoided many people to crowd at an elevator, improved load efficiency.

As a further alternative embodiment of the present application, referring to the schematic flow chart of the elevator dispatching method shown in fig. 5, the method may include, but is not limited to, the following steps:

step S41, obtaining the image information of the elevator waiting floor and the elevator taking request input by the elevator waiting user aiming at any elevator;

in this embodiment, the elevator taking request may be generated by an elevator waiting user using an access card, a key, a mobile phone, or the like, and specifically, the description of the corresponding part of the above embodiment may be referred to, and the description of the corresponding part of the above embodiment may also be referred to for obtaining the image information of the elevator waiting floor, which is not described in detail in this embodiment.

Step S42, analyzing the elevator taking request to obtain the number of stopping floors of the elevator stopping floors for the elevator waiting user to go to;

step S43, analyzing the image information to obtain the identity information of the elevator waiting user;

in this embodiment, users may be divided into different types, such as healthy adults, children, pregnant women, the elderly, and the disabled, and corresponding elevator scheduling contents may be generated for different user groups for the humanistic care of the vulnerable group. Therefore, the identity information of this embodiment may be used to indicate which user group the elevator-waiting user belongs to, and the content of the identity information is not limited.

Step S44, using the identity information to determine the existence of the predetermined user of the elevator waiting user;

in this embodiment, the predetermined users may be vulnerable groups, such as children, pregnant women, the elderly, and the disabled, and the response to the elevator taking requests initiated by the elevator waiting users may be prioritized for human care. Therefore, after obtaining a plurality of elevator taking requests, the computer device can first judge whether a preset user exists in elevator waiting users initiating the elevator taking requests, and if not, the elevator can be dispatched and controlled according to the modes described in the above embodiments; if the elevator taking demand of the preset user can be met preferentially.
