Embodiment 1.

Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of a display system in embodiment 1 of the present invention. The display system includes a communication terminal 1 and an elevator device. The communication terminal 1 is a terminal carried by a user of an elevator, for example. The communication terminal 1 is, for example, a smartphone. The communication terminal 1 may be a dedicated terminal for communicating with the elevator apparatus.

The elevator apparatus includes, for example, a car 2 and a counterweight 3. The car 2 moves up and down in the hoistway 4. The counterweight 3 moves up and down in the hoistway 4. The car 2 and the counterweight 3 are suspended in the hoistway 4 by the main ropes 5. The roping for suspending the car 2 and the counterweight 3 is not limited to the example shown in fig. 1.

The main ropes 5 are wound around a drive sheave 7 of a hoisting machine 6. The rotation and stop of the drive sheave 7 are controlled by a control device 8. The control device 8 is connected to the car 2 via a control cable 9. Fig. 1 shows an example in which a hoisting machine 6 and a control device 8 are provided in a machine room 10. The hoisting machine 6 and the control device 8 may be disposed in the hoistway 4. When the drive sheave 7 rotates, the main ropes 5 move in a direction corresponding to the rotation direction thereof. The car 2 ascends or descends in accordance with the direction in which the main rope 5 moves. That is, the hoisting machine 6 is an apparatus for driving the car 2. The control device 8 stops the car 2 according to the height of the landing 11 of the elevator.

The landings 11 are provided at respective floors of a building, for example. Communication devices 12 are provided in the landings 11. Fig. 1 shows an example in which a communication device 12 is provided at each landing 11 at which a car 2 stops. The communication device 12 may be provided only at a part of the landings 11 where the car 2 stops. The communication device 12 performs wireless communication with the communication terminal 1. The communication device 12 is connected to the control device 8.

The car 2 is provided with a communication device 13. Fig. 1 shows an example in which the communication device 13 is disposed on the upper surface of the car 2. The communication device 13 performs wireless communication with the communication terminal 1. The communication device 13 is connected to the control device 8 via the control cable 9, for example.

Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the communication terminal 1. The communication terminal 1 includes, for example, a display 20. The communication terminal 1 includes, for example, a storage unit 21, an input unit 22, a communication unit 23, and a display control unit 24 in addition to the display 20.

The owner of the communication terminal 1 uses the communication terminal 1, for example, when using an elevator. The input unit 22 is a unit for the owner of the communication terminal 1 to input information. The owner of the communication terminal 1 inputs a destination floor from the input unit 22, for example. The target floor is a floor to which the owner of the communication terminal 1 wants to move using an elevator.

The communication unit 23 performs wireless communication with other devices. For example, the communication unit 23 performs wireless communication with the communication device 12. The communication unit 23 performs wireless communication with the communication device 13.

The storage unit 21 stores an image to be displayed on the display 20. For example, the storage unit 21 stores an image of a character preferred by the owner of the communication terminal 1. Other images may be stored in the storage unit 21. The display control unit 24 controls the display 20. For example, the display control unit 24 causes the display 20 to display an image of a character stored in the storage unit 21.

The communication terminal 1 may further include a setting unit 25. For example, the image of the character set by the setting unit 25 is stored in the storage unit 21. The setting unit 25 may set a character created by the owner of the communication terminal 1 to a preferred character. The setting unit 25 may set a character selected by the owner from among a plurality of characters stored in the external database as a preferred character.

The car 2 includes, for example, doors 30, a drive machine 31, and a display 32. The driver 31 drives the door 30. The door 14 provided in the landing 11 is linked with the door 30. That is, when the door 30 is opened by the driver 31, the door 14 is also opened. When the door 30 is closed by the driver 31, the door 14 is also closed. The drive machine 31 is controlled by the control device 8.

Fig. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the control device 8. The control device 8 includes, for example, a storage unit 40, a call registration unit 41, an operation control unit 42, a display control unit 43, and a communication control unit 44.

The call registration section 41 registers calls. The call registration section 41 registers, for example, a hall call and a destination call. The operation control unit 42 controls the operation of each device. For example, the operation control unit 42 controls the hoisting machine 6. The movement and stop of the car 2 are controlled by the operation control unit 42. The operation control unit 42 controls the driver 31. The opening and closing of the

doors

30 and 14 are controlled by the operation control unit 42. The display control unit 43 controls the display 32 provided in the car 2. The communication control unit 44 controls the communication device 12 and the communication device 13.

Hereinafter, the function and operation of the display system will be described in detail with reference to fig. 4 and 5. Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the communication terminal 1.

In the communication terminal 1, the display control unit 24 causes the display 20 to display the image of the character stored in the storage unit 21 (S101). Further, the communication terminal 1 determines whether or not a destination floor has been input (S102). When the owner of the communication terminal 1 uses the elevator, the destination floor is input from the input unit 22 (yes in S102). When the destination floor is input from the input section 22, the communication section 23 sends a 1 st registration request for a call (S103).

The 1 st registration request includes, for example, a signal for specifying the communication terminal 1 that transmitted the 1 st registration request, a signal indicating a destination floor, and a signal indicating an image. The signal for specifying the communication terminal 1 refers to, for example, a terminal ID. The signal indicating an image is a signal for specifying an image of a character stored in the storage unit 21. In the 1 st registration request, for example, an image ID is included as a signal indicating an image.

The 1 st registration request transmitted from the communication unit 23 of the communication terminal 1 is received by the communication device 12 provided in the hall 11. In the following, a case where the owner of the communication terminal 1 moves from 2 layers to 5 layers is given as an example. In this case, the owner of the communication terminal 1 inputs the destination floor from the input section 22 at the landing 11 on floor 2. The 1 st registration request transmitted from the communication unit 23 is received by the communication device 12 provided in the floor 11 of 2 floors.

Upon receiving the 1 st registration request, the communication device 12 transmits a 2 nd registration request for a call to the control device 8. The 2 nd registration request includes, for example, a signal for specifying the communication device 12 that transmitted the 2 nd registration request and a signal included in the 1 st registration request. The signal for determining the communication device 12 refers to, for example, a communication device ID.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the control device 8. The control device 8 determines whether or not the 2 nd registration request is received (S201). When the 2 nd registration request is received from the communication device 12, the control device 8 stores the received content in the storage unit 40 (S202). Table 1 shows an example of the contents stored in the storage unit 40 in S202.

The call registration section 41 registers a hall call and a destination call in accordance with the 2 nd registration request received from the communication device 12 (S203). The hall call is a call for moving the car 2 to a boarding floor of a user. The boarding floor of the user can be determined based on the signal for determining the communication device 12 included in the signal of the 2 nd registration request. The call registration section 41 registers a hall call based on the signal. The destination call is a call for moving the car 2 from the boarding floor of the user to the destination floor. The user's target floor can be determined from the signal indicating the target floor included in the signal in the 2 nd registration request. The call registration section 41 registers a destination call based on the signal.

The operation control section 42 makes the car 2 respond to the call registered by the call registration section 41. First, the operation control unit 42 moves the car 2 to the boarding floor of the user (S204). In the example shown in table 1, the operation control section 42 stops the car 2 at the landing 11 on level 2. When the car 2 stops at the boarding floor, the communication control section 44 transmits a 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12 provided at the landing 11 at the boarding floor (S205). In the example shown in table 1, the 1 st arrival signal is transmitted from the communication device 12 provided in the 2 nd floor landing 11. The 1 st arrival signal is a signal indicating that the car 2 will arrive at the boarding floor or has arrived at the boarding floor. The timing of transmitting the 1 st arrival signal may be immediately before the car 2 stops at the boarding floor. The timing of transmitting the 1 st arrival signal may be immediately after the car 2 stops at the boarding floor.

In the communication terminal 1, it is determined whether or not the 1 st arrival signal is received after the 1 st registration request of the call is transmitted (S104). If the communication terminal 1 is present at the landing 11 on the boarding floor, the 1 st arrival signal transmitted from the communication device 12 is received by the communication section 23 in S205. When the communication unit 23 receives the 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12, the display control unit 24 deletes the image of the character from the display 20 (S105). That is, the display control unit 24 prevents the display 20 from displaying the image of the character preferred by the user. At this time, other images may be displayed on the display 20.

The operation control unit 42 of the control device 8 opens the door 30 after the car 2 stops at the boarding floor. When the car 2 arrives at the boarding floor, the control device 8 determines whether or not the communication device 13 has received the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1 (S206). The elevator riding signal is a signal indicating that the communication terminal 1 is present in the car 2. For example, when the car 2 reaches the boarding floor, the communication control unit 44 transmits an inquiry signal from the communication device 13 to the space inside the car 2. When receiving the inquiry signal from the communication device 13, the communication unit 23 of the communication terminal 1 transmits the boarding signal to the communication device 13 as a response signal thereof (S106). The elevator riding signal includes, for example, a signal for specifying the communication terminal 1.

When the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display an image of a character preferred by the owner of the communication terminal 1 (S207). As shown in table 1, the terminal ID and the image ID of the communication terminal 1 are stored in the storage section 40 in association with each other. In S207, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display the image specified by the image ID. That is, the image that has been rendered on the display 20 until deleted in S105 is rendered on the display 32 in S207. This makes it possible to make the character displayed on the display 20 of the communication terminal 1 appear to be transferred to the display 32 of the car 2.

When the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1, the operation control unit 42 closes the

doors

30 and 14 and then moves the car 2 to the user' S destination floor (S208). In the example shown in table 1, the operation control section 42 stops the car 2 at the landing 11 of 5 floors.

When the car 2 stops at the target floor, the display control unit 43 deletes the image of the character displayed in S207 from the display 32 (S209). That is, the display control unit 43 does not display the image of the character preferred by the user on the display 32. At this time, other images may be displayed on the display 32. The image of the character may also be deleted from the display 32 at a moment before the car 2 is to stop at the target floor. The timing at which the image of the character is deleted from the display 32 may be immediately after the car 2 stops at the target floor.

When the car 2 stops at the target floor, the communication control unit 44 transmits the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13 to the communication terminal 1 (S210). The 2 nd arrival signal is a signal indicating that the car 2 will arrive at the target floor or has arrived at the target floor. The timing of sending the 2 nd arrival signal may also be before the car 2 is to stop at the target floor. The timing of sending the 2 nd arrival signal may also be immediately after the car 2 stops at the target floor. The 2 nd arrival signal is transmitted, for example, after the image is deleted from the display 32 in S209. When the car 2 arrives at the destination floor, the information on the communication terminal 1 is deleted from the storage unit 40 (S211).

In the communication terminal 1, when the image of the character is deleted from the display 20 in S105, it is determined whether or not the 2 nd arrival signal is received (S107). The 2 nd arrival signal transmitted from the communication device 13 in S210 is received by the communication unit 23. When the communication unit 23 receives the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13, the display control unit 24 causes the display 20 to display the image of the character deleted in S105 (S108). That is, the image that appears on the display 32 until deleted in S209 appears on the display 20 in S108. This makes it possible to make the character displayed on the display 32 of the car 2 appear to be transferred to the display 20 of the communication terminal 1.

In the example shown in the present embodiment, the display 20 provided in the communication terminal 1 and the display 32 provided in the car 2 can be made to display the same image. In addition, if the example shown in the present embodiment is used, it is possible to present the elevator as if the user uses the elevator together with a favorite character.

In the example shown in the present embodiment, the 1 st arrival signal transmitted from the communication device 12 in S205 is a signal that triggers deletion of a character image from the display 20 of the communication terminal 1 when the car 2 stops at the boarding floor. The boarding signal transmitted from the communication terminal 1 in S106 is a signal that serves as a trigger for causing the display 32 of the car 2 to display a character image when the user boards the car 2. The 2 nd arrival signal transmitted from the communication device 13 in S210 is a signal that becomes a trigger for causing the display 20 of the communication terminal 1 to display a character image again when the car 2 stops at the target floor.

Fig. 6 is a diagram showing another example of the car 2 and the control device 8. Fig. 6 shows an example in which a user can enjoy a conversation with a character appearing on the display 32 in the car 2. In the example shown in fig. 6, the car 2 includes a voice input device 33 and a voice output device 34 in addition to the display 32. The control device 8 includes a voice recognition unit 45, a response creation unit 46, and a voice output control unit 47 in addition to the storage unit 40, the call registration unit 41, the operation control unit 42, the display control unit 43, and the communication control unit 44.

The voice input device 33 is a device for inputting voice by a person riding in the car 2. The voice input device 33 is, for example, a microphone. The voice recognition unit 45 performs voice recognition processing based on the voice signal input from the voice input device 33. From this, the content of the speech of the person who is riding the car 2 is determined. The reply creation section 46 creates a reply so that a conversation with the person who is riding on the car 2 is established, based on the voice recognition processing performed by the voice recognition section 45. For example, the storage unit 40 stores answer examples classified by situation. The reply creation section 46 may also create a reply by selecting the best reply example from among the reply examples stored in the storage section 40. The voice output control unit 47 controls the voice output device 34 to voice-output the response created by the response creating unit 46 from the voice output device 34. The voice output device 34 is, for example, a speaker.

For example, in S207, such a conversation function is executed from the display of the image on the display 32 until the image is deleted in S209. The contents of the speech of the person riding in the car 2 and the contents of the speech output from the speech output device 34 may be stored in the storage unit 40. In this case, when the 2 nd arrival signal is transmitted to the communication terminal 1 in S210, the above-described contents stored in the storage section 40 are transmitted from the communication device 13 to the communication terminal 1. This makes it possible to flexibly apply the contents of the session performed in the car 2 to the subsequent control of the communication terminal 1.

Embodiment 2.

In embodiment 1, an example is described in which an image of a character preferred by the owner of the communication terminal 1 is always displayed on the display 32 during a period from boarding of the owner to alighting of the owner from the car 2. However, among the persons who register a favorite character in the communication terminal 1, there is a possibility that a person who does not want to see the character by another person may be present. In the present embodiment, an example in which a character image can be temporarily not displayed on the display 32 will be described.

An example of the display system in this embodiment mode is the same as that shown in fig. 1. The example of the communication terminal 1 is the same as that shown in fig. 2. For example, the communication terminal 1 includes a display 20, a storage unit 21, an input unit 22, a communication unit 23, and a display control unit 24. The communication terminal 1 may further include a setting unit 25. The example of the control device 8 is the same as that shown in fig. 3. The control device 8 includes, for example, a storage unit 40, a call registration unit 41, an operation control unit 42, a display control unit 43, and a communication control unit 44.

Hereinafter, the function and operation of the display system will be described in detail with reference to fig. 4 and 7. The operation of the communication terminal 1 in the present embodiment is the same as the example shown in fig. 4. Fig. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the control device 8 in embodiment 2 of the present invention. The processing illustrated in S301 to S306 of fig. 7 is the same as the processing illustrated in S201 to S206 of fig. 5. The processing illustrated in S312 to S314 of fig. 7 is the same as the processing illustrated in S209 to S211 of fig. 5.

In the communication terminal 1, the display control unit 24 causes the display 20 to display the image of the character stored in the storage unit 21 (S101). Further, the communication terminal 1 determines whether or not a destination floor has been input (S102). When the destination floor is input from the input unit 22, the communication unit 23 transmits a 1 st registration request for a call (S103). The 1 st registration request transmitted from the communication unit 23 of the communication terminal 1 is received by the communication device 12 provided in the hall 11. Upon receiving the 1 st registration request, the communication device 12 transmits a 2 nd registration request of a call to the control device 8.

The control device 8 determines whether or not the 2 nd registration request is received (S301). When the 2 nd registration request is received from the communication device 12, the control device 8 stores the received content in the storage unit 40 (S302). Table 2 shows an example of the contents stored in the storage unit 40. Table 2 shows an example in which the 1 st registration request is transmitted from a plurality of communication terminals 1.

The call registration section 41 registers a hall call and a destination call in accordance with the 2 nd registration request received from the communication device 12 (S303). The operation control section 42 makes the car 2 respond to the call registered by the call registration section 41. First, the owner of the communication terminal 1 whose terminal ID is ABC123 is mainly considered. In the following, for the sake of simplifying the description, the communication terminal 1 having the terminal ID ABC123 is also referred to as communication terminal 1-a.

The operation control unit 42 moves the car 2 to the boarding floor of the user (S304). In the example shown in table 2, the operation control section 42 stops the car 2 at the landing 11 on level 2. When the car 2 stops at the boarding floor, the communication control section 44 transmits a 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12 provided at the landing 11 of the boarding floor (S305). In the example shown in table 2, the 1 st arrival signal is transmitted from the communication device 12 provided in the floor 11 of 2 floors to the communication terminal 1-a.

In the communication terminal 1, it is determined whether or not the 1 st arrival signal is received after the 1 st registration request of the call is transmitted (S104). For example, the communication terminal 1-a receives a 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12 provided at the floor-2 landing 11. In the communication terminal 1-a, when the communication unit 23 receives the 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12, the display control unit 24 deletes the image of the character from the display 20 (S105).

The operation control unit 42 of the control device 8 opens the door 30 when the car 2 stops at the boarding floor. When the car 2 arrives at the boarding floor, the control device 8 determines whether or not the communication device 13 has received the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1 (S306). For example, when the car 2 stops at the landing 11 on the 2 th floor, the control device 8 determines whether or not the communication device 13 has received the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1-a. When the owner of the communication terminal 1-a enters the car 2 from the landing 11 on the 2 th floor with the communication terminal 1-a, the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1-a.

When the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1, the control device 8 determines whether or not the number of persons boarding the car 2 is one person (S307). If there is only one person in the car 2, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display an image of a character preferred by the user (S308). For example, when the owner of the communication terminal 1-a gets on the car 2 from the landing 11 on the 2 th floor, no other user is present in the car 2. When the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal transmitted from the communication terminal 1-a, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display an image with an image ID of 001. That is, the character image that was displayed on the display 20 of the communication terminal 1-a until deleted in S105 is displayed on the display 32 in S308.

When it is determined in S307 that the number of people riding on the car 2 is not one, the image of the character preferred by the owner of the communication terminal 1 is not displayed on the display 32 (S310).

30 and 14 and then moves the car 2 to the user's destination floor. When the movement of the car 2 is started, the control device 8 determines whether or not the car 2 has reached the target floor (S311). When the movement of the car 2 is started, the control device 8 determines whether or not the car 2 responds to another hall call before the stop at the destination floor (S309).

In the example shown in table 2, after departing from the landing 11 on the 2 th floor, the car 2 stops at the landing 11 on the 3 rd floor in response to another landing call before stopping at the 5 th floor as the target floor (yes in S309). When the car 2 responds to the hall call, the display control section 43 deletes the image of the character displayed in S308 from the display 32 (S310). That is, the display control unit 43 does not display the image of the character preferred by the user of the communication terminal 1-a on the display 32. At this time, other images may be displayed on the display 32. The image of the character may be deleted from the display 32 at a timing just before the car 2 stops at the boarding floor of another user. The image of the character may be deleted from the display 32 at a timing immediately after the car 2 stops at the boarding floor of another user.

The indication control unit 43 repeats the processing shown in S307 to S311 until the car 2 reaches the destination floor. For example, when the car 2 starts from the 3-floor landing 11, two persons ride on the car 2 (no in S307). Therefore, when the car 2 starts from the 3-floor landing 11, an image with an image ID of 001 is not displayed on the display 32 (S310). While the car 2 moves from the 4 th floor to the 5 th floor, three persons ride on the car 2 (no in S307). Therefore, the image with the image ID 001 is not displayed on the display 32 while the car 2 moves from the 4 th floor to the 5 th floor (S310).

When the car 2 stops at the target floor (yes in S311), if the image displayed in S308 is also displayed on the display 32, the display control section 43 deletes the image from the display 32 (S312). In the example shown in table 2, when the car 2 stops at the 5 th floor, an image having an image ID of "001" is not displayed on the display 32. Therefore, the display control unit 43 keeps the image in a state of not being displayed.

When the car 2 stops at the target floor, the communication control unit 44 transmits the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13 to the communication terminal 1 as the destination (S313). For example, when the car 2 stops at the 5 th floor, the communication control unit 44 transmits the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13 to the communication terminal 1-a. The 2 nd arrival signal is transmitted, for example, after the image is deleted from the display 32 in S312. When the car 2 arrives at the destination floor, the information on the communication terminal 1 is deleted from the storage unit 40 (S314). In the example shown in table 2, when the car 2 reaches the 5 th floor, the information on the communication terminal 1-a is deleted from the storage unit 40.

Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the boarding section of the user and the display section of the image. Fig. 8 shows an example of when the car 2 responds to the calls shown in table 2. As shown in fig. 8, the image with the image ID of 001 is displayed on the display 32 only during the period in which the car 2 moves from the 2 th floor to the 3 rd floor. That is, when a plurality of persons ride in the car 2, the image with the image ID 001 is not displayed on the display 32.

Next, in the example shown in table 2, the owner of the communication terminal 1 whose terminal ID is GHI789 is considered as the main subject. In the following, for the sake of simplifying the description, the communication terminal 1 having the terminal ID GHI789 will also be referred to as a communication terminal 1-G. Similarly, the communication terminal 1 having the terminal ID DEF456 is also referred to as a communication terminal 1-D.

The display 20 of the communication terminal 1-G displays the image of the character with the image ID 003 (S101). When the communication section 23 receives the 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12 of the layer 3 in S104, the image displayed on the display 20 of the communication terminal 1-G is deleted from the display 20 (S105). After the car 2 reaches the 3-floor landing 11, the communication section 23 of the communication terminal 1-G transmits a boarding signal to the communication device 13 (S106).

When the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1-G, the control device 8 determines whether or not the number of persons boarding the car 2 is one (S307). At this time, two persons ride on the car 2 (no in S307). Therefore, the image of the character having the image ID 003 is not displayed on the display 32 (S310).

The owner of the communication terminal 1-a is alighting from the car 2 at 5 floors. The owner of the communication terminal 1-D gets on the car 2 at 4 floors and gets off the car 2 at 7 floors. When the car 2 departs from the 7 floors before the car 2 stops at the 10 floors as the target floors, the owner of the communication terminals 1-G is one person (yes at S307). Therefore, when the car 2 starts from the 7 th floor, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display the image of the character with the image ID 003 (S308). The image of the character with the image ID 003 is displayed on the display 32 while the car 2 moves from the 7 th floor to the 10 th floor.

When the car 2 stops at the 10 th floor as the target floor, the display control unit 43 deletes the image with the image ID 003 from the display 32 (S312). At this time, other images may be displayed on the display 32. The image of the character may be deleted from the display 32 at a timing just before the car 2 stops at the target floor. The moment when the image of the character is deleted from the display 32 can also be immediately after the car 2 stops at the target floor. When the car 2 stops at the 10 th floor as the target floor, the communication control section 44 transmits the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13 to the communication terminals 1 to G (S313). When the car 2 reaches the 10 th floor, the information on the communication terminal 1-G is deleted from the storage unit 40 (S314).

In the communication terminal 1, when the image of the character is deleted from the display 20 in S105, it is determined whether or not the 2 nd arrival signal is received (S107). The 2 nd arrival signal transmitted from the communication device 13 in S313 is received by the communication unit 23 of the communication terminal 1 as the target. When the communication unit 23 receives the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13, the display control unit 24 causes the display 20 to display the image of the character deleted in S105 (S108).

In the example shown in the present embodiment, when the car 2 responds to another hall call before the stop at the target floor, the image of the character is deleted from the display 32. That is, only when only one person is riding in the car 2, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display an image of a character that the person likes. Therefore, the owner of the communication terminal 1 does not worry that the image that he likes is seen by others.

Fig. 9 is a flowchart showing another operation example of the control device 8 in embodiment 2 of the present invention. The processing illustrated in S401 to S406 of fig. 9 is the same as the processing illustrated in S201 to S206 of fig. 5. The processing illustrated in S414 to S416 of fig. 9 is the same as the processing illustrated in S209 to S211 of fig. 5. Fig. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a boarding section of a user and a display section of an image. Fig. 7 and 8 show an example in which the display 32 is not caused to display an image of a character when a plurality of persons ride in the car 2. Fig. 9 and 10 show an example in which the display 32 is caused to display images of other characters in a case where a plurality of persons ride in the car 2.

In the examples shown in fig. 9 and 10, at least two images are stored in the storage section 21 of the communication terminal 1. For example, the 1 st image and the 2 nd image are stored in the storage unit 21. For example, the 1 st image is an image of the 1 st character that the owner of the communication terminal 1 likes. The 2 nd image is a different image from the 1 st image. For example, the 2 nd image is an image of the 2 nd character that the owner of the communication terminal 1 thinks can be seen by others as well. Hereinafter, the function and operation of the display system will be described in detail with reference to fig. 4 and the like.

In the communication terminal 1, the display control unit 24 causes the display 20 to display the image of the 1 st character stored in the storage unit 21 (S101). Further, the communication terminal 1 determines whether or not a destination floor has been input (S102). When the destination floor is input from the input section 22, the communication section 23 sends a 1 st registration request for a call (S103).

The 1 st registration request includes, for example, a signal for specifying the communication terminal 1 that transmitted the 1 st registration request, a signal indicating a destination floor, a signal indicating a 1 st image, and a signal indicating a 2 nd image. The signal indicating the 1 st picture is, for example, the 1 st picture ID. The signal indicating the 2 nd image is, for example, the 2 nd image ID.

The 1 st registration request transmitted from the communication unit 23 of the communication terminal 1 is received by the communication device 12 provided in the hall 11. When the communication device 12 receives the 1 st registration request, it sends a 2 nd registration request of a call to the control device 8.

The control device 8 determines whether or not the 2 nd registration request is received (S401). When the 2 nd registration request is received from the communication device 12, the control device 8 stores the received content in the storage unit 40 (S402). Table 3 shows an example of the contents stored in the storage unit 40. Table 3 shows an example in which the 1 st registration request is transmitted from a plurality of communication terminals 1. The example shown in table 3 corresponds to the example shown in table 2 with the 2 nd image ID added.

The call registration section 41 registers a hall call and a destination call in accordance with the 2 nd registration request received from the communication device 12 (S403). The operation control section 42 makes the car 2 respond to the call registered by the call registration section 41. First, the owner of the communication terminal 1-a is considered as the main body.

The operation control unit 42 moves the car 2 to the boarding floor of the user (S404). In the example shown in table 3, the operation control section 42 stops the car 2 at the landing 11 on level 2. When the car 2 stops at the boarding floor, the communication control section 44 transmits the 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12 provided in the landing 11 at the boarding floor (S405). In the example shown in table 3, the 1 st arrival signal is transmitted from the communication device 12 provided in the floor 11 of 2 floors to the communication terminal 1-a.

In the communication terminal 1, it is determined whether or not the 1 st arrival signal is received after the 1 st registration request of the call is sent (S104). For example, the communication terminal 1-a receives a 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12 provided at the floor-2 landing 11. In the communication terminal 1-a, when the communication unit 23 receives the 1 st arrival signal from the communication device 12, the display control unit 24 deletes the image of the 1 st character from the display 20 (S105).

When the operation control section 42 of the control device 8 stops the car 2 at the boarding floor, the door 30 is opened. When the car 2 arrives at the boarding floor, the control device 8 determines whether or not the communication device 13 has received the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1 (S406). For example, when the car 2 stops at the landing 11 on the 2 th floor, the control device 8 determines whether or not the communication device 13 has received the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1-a. When the owner of the communication terminal 1-a enters the car 2 from the landing 11 on the 2 th floor with the communication terminal 1-a, the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1-a.

When the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1, the control device 8 determines whether or not the number of people boarding the car 2 is one person (407). If only one person is riding in the car 2, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display the image of the 1 st character registered by the user (S409). Immediately after the owner of the communication terminal 1 gets on the car 2, the image of the 2 nd character is not displayed on the display 32, and thus the process of S408 is skipped.

For example, when the owner of the communication terminal 1-a gets on the car 2 from the landing 11 on the 2 th floor, no other user is present in the car 2. When the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal transmitted from the communication terminal 1-a, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display an image with an image ID of 001. That is, the image of the 1 st character that was displayed on the display 20 of the communication terminal 1-a until deleted in S105 is displayed on the display 32 in S409. At this time, the image with the image ID of 011 is not displayed on the display 32.

When it is determined in S407 that the number of people riding on the car 2 is not one, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display the image of the 2 nd character registered by the user (S412). Immediately after the owner of the communication terminal 1 gets on the car 2, the image of the 1 st character is not displayed on the display 32, and thus the process of S411 is skipped.

30 and 14 and then moves the car 2 to the user's destination floor. When the movement of the car 2 is started, the control device 8 determines whether or not the car 2 has reached the target floor (S413). When the movement of the car 2 is started, the control device 8 determines whether or not the car 2 responds to another hall call before the stop at the target floor (S410).

In the example shown in table 3, after departing from the landing 11 on the 2 th floor, the car 2 stops at the landing 11 on the 3 rd floor in response to another landing call before stopping at the 5 th floor as a target floor (yes in S410). When the car 2 responds to the hall call, the display control section 43 deletes the image of the 1 st character displayed in S409 from the display 32 (S411). That is, the display control unit 43 does not display the image with the image ID 001 on the display 32. Further, when the image of the 1 st character is deleted from the display 32 in S411, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display the image of the 2 nd character (S412). That is, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display an image with an image ID of 011. The timing of switching the images in S411 and S412 may be immediately before the car 2 stops at the boarding floor of another user. The timing may be immediately after the car 2 stops at the boarding floor of another user.

The indication control unit 43 repeats the processing of S407 to S413 until the car 2 reaches the destination floor. For example, when the car 2 starts from the 3-floor landing 11, two persons ride on the car 2 (no in S407). Therefore, when the car 2 starts from the 3-floor landing 11, an image with an image ID of 001 is not displayed on the display 32 (S411). An image with an image ID of 011 is displayed on the display 32 (S412). While the car 2 moves from the 4 th floor to the 5 th floor, three persons ride on the car 2 (no in S407). Therefore, the image with the image ID 001 is not displayed on the display 32 while the car 2 moves from the 4 th floor to the 5 th floor (S411). An image with an image ID of 011 is displayed on the display 32 (S412).

When the car 2 stops at the target floor (yes in S413), the display control unit 43 deletes the image of the character from the display 32 (S414). In the example shown in table 3, when the car 2 stops at the 5 th floor, an image with an image ID of 011 is displayed on the display 32. Therefore, the display control unit 43 deletes the image from the display 32. When the car 2 stops at the 5 th floor, if an image with an image ID of 001 is displayed on the display 32, the display control section 43 deletes the image.

When the car 2 stops at the target floor, the communication control unit 44 transmits the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13 to the communication terminal 1 as the destination (S415). For example, when the car 2 stops at the 5 th floor, the communication control unit 44 transmits the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13 to the communication terminal 1-a. The 2 nd arrival signal is transmitted, for example, after the image is deleted from the display 32 in S414. When the car 2 arrives at the destination floor, the information on the communication terminal 1 is deleted from the storage unit 40 (S416). In the example shown in table 3, when the car 2 reaches the 5 th floor, the information on the communication terminal 1-a is deleted from the storage unit 40.

Fig. 10 shows an example of when the car 2 responds to the calls shown in table 3. As shown in fig. 10, while the car 2 moves from floor 2 to floor 3, an image with an image ID of 001 is displayed on the display 32. While the car 2 moves from the floor 3 to the floor 7, since a plurality of persons ride on the car 2, the image of the 2 nd character is displayed on the display 32 (S412). For example, while the car 2 moves from floor 3 to floor 4, an image with an image ID of 011 and an image with an image ID of 013 are displayed on the display 32. While the car 2 moves from the 4 th floor to the 5 th floor, the display 32 displays an image with an image ID of 011, an image of 012, and an image of 013. While the car 2 moves from the 5 th floor to the 7 th floor, the image having the image ID 012 and the image having the image ID 013 are displayed on the display 32.

When the car 2 departs from the 7 floors before the car 2 stops at the 10 floors as the target floor, the owner of the communication terminal 1-G is one person in the car 2 (yes at S407). Therefore, when the car 2 starts from the 7 th floor, the display control unit 43 deletes the image whose image ID is 013 from the display 32 (S408). When the car 2 starts from the 7 th floor, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display an image with the image ID 003 (S409).

When the car 2 stops at the 10 th floor, the display control unit 43 deletes the image with the image ID 003 from the display 32 (S414). When the car 2 stops at the 10 th floor, the communication control unit 44 transmits the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13 to the communication terminals 1 to G (S415). When the car 2 reaches the 10 th floor, the information on the communication terminal 1-G is deleted from the storage unit 40 (S416).

In the communication terminal 1, when the image of the 1 st character is deleted from the display 20 in S105, it is determined whether or not the 2 nd arrival signal is received (S107). The 2 nd arrival signal transmitted from the communication device 13 in S415 is received by the communication unit 23 of the communication terminal 1 as the target. When the communication unit 23 receives the 2 nd arrival signal from the communication device 13, the display control unit 24 causes the display 20 to display the image of the 1 st character deleted in S105 (S108).

In the example shown in fig. 9 and 10, when the car 2 responds to other landing calls before the stop of the target floor, the image of the 1 st character is deleted from the display 32, and the image of the 2 nd character is displayed on the display 32. That is, only when only one person is riding in the car 2, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display the image of the 1 st character that the person likes. If a plurality of persons ride in the car 2, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display the image of the 2 nd character. Therefore, the owner of the communication terminal 1 does not worry that the image that he likes is seen by others.

In the example shown in fig. 9, an upper limit may also be set on the number of 2 nd characters displayed on the display 32. Fig. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a boarding section of a user and a display section of an image. Fig. 11 shows an example of making the display 32 show only two 2 nd characters at most. For example, when the owner of the communication terminal 1-D gets on the car 2 from the hall 11 of 4 floors, an image with an image ID of 011 and an image with an image ID of 013 have been displayed on the display 32. Therefore, even if the owner of the communication terminal 1-D gets on the car 2, the image with the image ID 012 is not displayed on the display 32. When the owner of the communication terminal 1-a gets off the car 2 at 5 floors, an image with an image ID 012 is displayed on the display 32.

Fig. 11 shows an example in which the 2 nd role of the person who first gets on the car 2 is preferentially displayed on the display 32. This is only one example. As another example, the 2 nd character set by a person with a short boarding zone may be preferentially displayed on the display 32. In this case, for example, while the car 2 moves from 4 floors to 5 floors, an image with an image ID of 011 and an image with an image ID of 012 are displayed on the display 32.

For functions and actions not specifically disclosed in the present embodiment, any of the functions and actions disclosed in embodiment 1 may be adopted. For example, the control device 8 may further include a voice recognition unit 45, a response creation unit 46, and a voice output control unit 47.

Embodiment 3.

In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which a user can take an image of a character displayed on the display 32 into his/her communication terminal 1. An example of the display system in this embodiment mode is the same as that shown in fig. 1. The example of the communication terminal 1 is the same as that shown in fig. 2. The communication terminal 1 includes, for example, a display 20, a storage unit 21, an input unit 22, a communication unit 23, and a display control unit 24. The example of the control device 8 is the same as that shown in fig. 3. The control device 8 includes, for example, a storage unit 40, a call registration unit 41, an operation control unit 42, a display control unit 43, and a communication control unit 44.

Hereinafter, the function and operation of the present display system will be described in detail with reference to fig. 12 and 13. Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the communication terminal 1 in embodiment 3 of the present invention.

The communication terminal 1 determines whether or not a destination floor is input (S501). When the owner of the communication terminal 1 uses the elevator, the destination floor is input from the input unit 22 (yes in S501). When the destination floor is input from the input unit 22, the communication unit 23 transmits a 1 st registration request for a call (S502). In the example shown in the present embodiment, the 1 st registration request includes, for example, a signal for identifying the communication terminal 1 that transmitted the 1 st registration request and a signal indicating a target floor.

Upon receiving the 1 st registration request, the communication device 12 transmits a 2 nd registration request for a call to the control device 8. The 2 nd registration request includes, for example, a signal for specifying the communication device 12 that transmitted the 2 nd registration request and a signal included in the 1 st registration request.

Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the control device 8 in embodiment 3 of the present invention. The control device 8 determines whether or not the 2 nd registration request is received (S601). When the 2 nd registration request is received from the communication device 12, the control device 8 stores the received content in the storage unit 40 (S602). The call registration section 41 registers a hall call and a destination call in accordance with the 2 nd registration request received from the communication device 12 (S603).

The operation control section 42 makes the car 2 respond to the call registered by the call registration section 41. First, the operation control unit 42 moves the car 2 to the boarding floor of the user (S604). For example, the operation control section 42 stops the car 2 at the landing 11 on the 2 nd floor. In the example shown in the present embodiment, the communication control unit 44 may cause the 1 st arrival signal to be transmitted from the communication device 12 provided at the landing 11 on the boarding floor when the car 2 stops at the boarding floor. When the 1 st arrival signal is transmitted from the communication device 12, the communication terminal 1 notifies the car 2 that the car will arrive at the boarding floor when receiving the 1 st arrival signal.

When the car 2 is stopped at the boarding floor, the operation control unit 42 opens the door 30. When the car 2 arrives at the boarding floor, the control device 8 determines whether or not the communication device 13 has received the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1 (S605). For example, when the car 2 reaches the boarding floor, the communication control unit 44 causes the communication device 13 to transmit an inquiry signal to the internal space of the car 2. When receiving the inquiry signal from the communication device 13, the communication unit 23 of the communication terminal 1 transmits the boarding signal to the communication device 13 as a response signal thereof (S503).

The storage unit 40 of the control device 8 registers an image of a character in advance. The character of the image stored in the storage unit 40 may be a character created independently. As another example, a recognized role such as a city in which the elevator apparatus is installed may be used. But also can be a role recognized by professional teams such as baseball or football. When the communication device 13 receives the boarding signal from the communication terminal 1, the display control unit 43 causes the display 32 to display the image of the character stored in the storage unit 40 (S606).

After the transmission of the boarding signal, the communication terminal 1 determines whether or not an input for acquiring an image has been made (S504). If the owner of the communication terminal 1 wants to acquire an image displayed on the display 32, the owner operates the input unit 22 to perform an input for acquiring the image (yes in S504). When an input for acquiring an image is made, the communication unit 23 transmits an image acquisition request (S505). The image acquisition request is a signal for requesting acquisition of an image. The image acquisition request includes, for example, a signal for specifying the communication terminal 1 that transmitted the image acquisition request and a signal indicating an image to be acquired.

30 and 14 and then moves the car 2 to the user's destination floor. When the movement of the car 2 is started, the control device 8 determines whether or not the car 2 has reached the target floor (S610). Further, when the image of the character stored in the storage unit 40 is displayed on the display 32, the control device 8 determines whether or not the car 2 has received an image acquisition request before the car stops at the destination floor (S607).

The image acquisition request transmitted from the communication unit 23 of the communication terminal 1 is received by the communication device 13 (yes at S607). When the communication device 13 receives an image acquisition request when an image of a character is displayed on the display 32, the communication control unit 44 transmits a response signal from the communication device 13 to the communication terminal 1 that transmitted the image acquisition request. The response signal is a signal for causing the display 20 of the communication terminal 1 to display an image as an object. The response signal includes, for example, a signal representing an image of the subject (S608). Upon receiving the image acquisition request, the display control unit 43 deletes the target image from the display 32 (S609). The process of S609 may be performed before the process of S608.

After transmitting the image acquisition request, the communication terminal 1 determines whether or not a response signal is received from the communication device 13 (S506). The response signal from the communication device 13 is received by the communication unit 23. In the communication terminal 1, when the communication unit 23 receives the response signal, the display control unit 24 causes the display 20 to display the target image (S507). This makes it possible to make the character displayed on the display 32 of the car 2 appear to be transferred to the display 20 of the communication terminal 1.

When the car 2 stops at the target floor (yes in S311), if the image displayed in S606 is also displayed on the display 32, the display control unit 43 deletes the image from the display 32 (S611). When the car 2 reaches the destination floor, the control device 8 deletes the information on the communication terminal 1 from the storage unit 40.

In the example shown in the present embodiment, the image of the character displayed on the display 32 can be captured into the communication terminal 1 by using the operation from the communication terminal 1. For example, in order to realize the examples disclosed in

embodiments

1 and 2, it is necessary to install a dedicated application program in the communication terminal 1 held by the user. In order to prompt installation of an application, as in the example shown in the present embodiment, a situation in which an image of a character prepared on the elevator side can be taken into the communication terminal 1 may be communicated to the user of the elevator.
