  The guidance information notification unit 33 notifies the user 8 wearing the wearable terminal 30 of various types of information, and includes a display unit 37 that displays the image (video) information and an audio. And an audio output unit 38 for outputting the information. The display unit 37 is, for example, a liquid crystal display that is provided over the lens portion of the glasses-type terminal and displays image information, and displays the image information in a part of the user's field of view. The audio output unit 38 is a speaker that outputs audio information. In the present embodiment, the guidance information notification unit 33 is configured to include both the display unit 37 and the audio output unit 38, but may be configured to include one of the display unit 37 and the audio output unit 38.

  The operation unit 34 receives various operations from the user, and includes a sound collection unit 39 and a voice recognition unit 40. The sound collection unit 39 is a microphone that collects sound emitted by the user, and the sound collected by the microphone is transmitted to the voice recognition unit 40. The voice recognition unit 40 recognizes a voice command from the collected sounds. This voice command is a command set in advance for performing various operations. For example, commands such as “Yes”, “No”, “Up”, and “Down” are set. This type of command can be added and changed according to the type of operation performed by the user. These commands may be set not only in Japanese but also in other languages such as English. In the present embodiment, the operation unit 34 is configured to perform various operations using voice commands. However, for example, the movement (gesture) of the user's hand photographed by the photographing unit 31 or the movement of the user's line of sight. It is good also as a structure which performs operation by such.

  The storage unit 35 stores the preset voice command. Further, the storage unit 35 stores information such as the positions, sizes, and shapes of the entrance / exit 6, the door 7, and the call registration device 10 in the elevator hall 4. In addition, the storage unit 35 stores in advance information related to physical features such as walking speed and low vision of the user wearing the wearable terminal 30.

  The control unit 36 governs the overall operation of the wearable terminal 30, and includes a display control unit 41, a voice control unit 42, an elevator detection unit 43, and a call information generation unit 44. The display control unit 41 creates guidance information provided to the user as image information, and displays the created guidance information on the display unit 37. In this embodiment, for example, guidance information such as “whether to use an elevator” and “whether to go to the upper floor or the lower floor” is created as image information.

  The voice control unit 42 creates guidance information provided to the user as voice information, and outputs the created guidance information to the voice output unit 38. In the present embodiment, as with the display control unit 41, for example, guidance information such as “whether to use an elevator” and “whether you want to go to the upper floor or the lower floor” is created as voice information.

  The elevator detection unit 43 detects whether the elevator 2 or the elevator landing 4 exists near the user 8 wearing the wearable terminal 30. Specifically, the elevator detection unit 43 is based on the image information captured by the imaging unit 31 and the positions of the entrance / exit 6, the door 7, and the call registration device 10 in the elevator platform 4 stored in the image information and the storage unit 35. The elevator 2 or the elevator hall 4 is detected by pattern matching with information such as size and shape. Instead of detecting the elevator hall 4 based on the captured image information, for example, the wireless communication unit 32 of the wearable terminal 30 has entered a range in which communication with the wireless communication unit 11 of the call registration device 10 is possible. Thus, the elevator 2 or the elevator hall 4 may be detected.

  The call information generation unit 44 generates call information for the elevator 2 in accordance with the operation of the operation unit 34 described above. Specifically, when using the elevator, the call information that moves the elevator to the upper floor when the user operates “up” in response to the guidance “Which will you go to the upper floor or the lower floor?” When the user operates “below”, call information for moving the elevator to the lower floor is generated. The generated call information is transmitted to the call registration device 10 via the wireless communication unit 32 and registered.

  Next, the operation of the elevator system 1 will be described. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure of the elevator system according to the first embodiment. First, the control unit 36 of the wearable terminal 30 causes the elevator detection unit 43 to detect the elevator 2 or the elevator landing 4 near the user 8, and determines whether the elevator 2 or the elevator landing 4 has been detected (step Sa1). ). Specifically, the wearable terminal 30 captures an image around the user 8 through the image capturing unit 31, and the captured image and the entrance / exit 6 in the elevator platform 4 stored in the storage unit 35, the door 7. And the presence or absence of the detection of the elevator 2 or the elevator landing 4 is discriminate | determined by pattern-matching with information, such as a position of the call registration apparatus 10, a magnitude | size, and a shape. In this determination, when the elevator 2 or the elevator landing 4 is not detected (step Sa1; No), the process of step Sa1 is repeatedly executed.

  On the other hand, when the elevator 2 or the elevator landing 4 is detected (step Sa1; Yes), the control unit 36 provides the user 8 with guidance information regarding the use of the elevator 2 (step Sa2). The control unit 36 causes the display control unit 41 to create guidance information as image information, and displays the created guidance information on the display unit 37. Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 4, the control unit 36 includes, in addition to the image of the door 7 of the elevator 2 and the call registration device 10, in the display screen 37 </ b> A of the display unit 37 of the wearable terminal 30, for example, “ A message (guidance information) 50 relating to the use of the elevator such as “Elevator is detected. Do you want to use it? Yes / No” is displayed. In this case, it is preferable to display operation information (guidance information) 51 such as the current position of the elevator 2 and the stop floor acquired from the call registration device 10 in addition to the message 50 regarding the use of the elevator. In this configuration, the user 8 can easily know the guidance information related to the elevator 2, and the convenience of the elevator 2 can be improved.

  In the present embodiment, since the voice output unit 38 is provided together with the display unit 37, the control unit 36 causes the voice control unit 42 to create guidance information as voice information in the process of step Sa2. Guidance information is output from the voice output unit 38. For this reason, the guidance information regarding the use of the elevator 2 is notified visually and audibly, so that the convenience of the elevator 2 can be improved.

  Then, the control part 36 monitors operation with respect to the provided guidance information, and discriminate | determines whether the user 8 uses the elevator 2 (step Sa3). Specifically, the control unit 36 acquires a voice (sound) emitted from the user 8 via the sound collection unit 39. Then, when the voice is acquired, the voice recognition unit 40 determines whether a predetermined voice command is included in the acquired voice. In this determination, if the user 8 issues a voice command of “No” or “No”, it is determined that the user 8 does not use the elevator 2 (step Sa3; No), and the process is terminated. In the process of step Sa3, if the user 8 does not issue a predetermined voice command within a predetermined time, it is determined that the user 8 does not use the elevator 2. On the other hand, when the user 8 issues a voice command “Yes” or “Yes”, it is determined that the user 8 uses the elevator 2 (step Sa3; Yes), and the process is performed in step Sa4. Migrate to

  Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 36 displays the elevator screen such as “Which are you going to the upper floor or the lower floor? Up / Down” in the display screen 37 </ b> A of the display section 37 of the wearable terminal 30. A new message (guidance information) 50 regarding use is displayed. In this case, the control unit 36 causes the voice control unit 42 to create guidance information similar to the above message as voice information, and outputs the created guidance information from the voice output unit 38. And the control part 36 monitors operation with respect to the provided guidance information, and discriminate | determines whether the user 8 goes to an upper floor (step Sa4). The control unit 36 acquires a voice (sound) uttered from the user 8 via the sound collecting unit 39, and the user 8 issues a voice command such as “up” or “up” in the determination of step Sa4. In this case, it is determined that the user 8 wants to go to the upper floor (step Sa4; Yes), and the process proceeds to step Sa5. In step Sa4, when the user 8 issues a voice command such as “down” or “down”, it is determined that the user 8 wants to go to the lower floor (step Sa4; No), and the processing is performed. To step Sa6.

  Subsequently, when the control unit 36 determines that the user 8 wants to go to the upper floor, the control unit 36 generates upper call information for operating the elevator 2 to the upper floor, and the upper call information is transmitted via the wireless communication unit 32. The call registration device 10 is transmitted to register the upper call information (step Sa5). When the control unit 36 determines that the user 8 wants to go to the lower floor, the control unit 36 generates lower call information for operating the elevator 2 to the lower floor, and this lower call information is transmitted via the wireless communication unit 32. This is transmitted to the call registration device 10 and the lower call information is registered (step Sa6). According to this configuration, the user 8 can remotely register desired call information without directly operating the call registration device 10. For this reason, since the user 8 can perform call registration of the elevator 2 freely and easily, the convenience of the elevator system 1 can be improved. In addition, when information related to physical features such as the walking speed of the user 8 is stored in the storage unit 35, the control unit 36 generates call information (upcall information or Lower call information) to the call registration device 10.

  Subsequently, when the call information (upper call information or lower call information) of the elevator 2 is registered in the above-described step Sa5 or step Sa6, the call registration device 10 uses the call information to operate the elevator control device 20. It outputs to the control part 21 (step Sa7). The operation control unit 21 operates the elevator 2 based on the call information, and the elevator 2 arrives at the elevator landing 4 where the user waits (step Sa8).

  Subsequently, when the control unit 13 of the call registration device 10 arrives at the elevator platform 4, the control unit 13 causes the platform imaging unit 18 provided in the elevator platform 4 to image the elevator platform 4 (step Sa9), and uses the captured image information. Based on this, the distance calculation unit 15 is caused to calculate the distance between the user 8 wearing the wearable terminal 30 and the elevator 2 (step Sa10). Specifically, as illustrated in FIG. 6, the control unit 13 sets a user position range 52 indicating the position of the user 8 wearing the wearable terminal 30 based on the image information captured by the landing imaging unit 18. For example, when the shape of the wearable terminal 30 is detected in the image information, the control unit 13 determines that there is a user 8 wearing the wearable terminal 30 at that position. Then, the distance calculation unit 15 calculates a distance L between the user position range 52 and the landing reference standby position range 53 set in advance in the elevator hall 4. In the present embodiment, the landing reference standby position range 53 is set in advance to indicate the position of the elevator 2. However, if the distance to the elevator 2 can be calculated, other elements (the door 7 of the elevator 2). ) Position may be set in advance.

  Subsequently, the control unit 13 determines whether or not information related to the physical characteristics of the user 8 is acquired together with the call information (step Sa11). In this determination, when the information regarding the physical characteristics of the user 8 is not acquired (step Sa11; No), the control unit 13 instructs the door opening / closing control unit 14 to calculate the elevator based on the calculated distance L. The time until the second door 7 is closed is controlled (step Sa12). For example, when the calculated distance L is longer than a predetermined distance, the door opening / closing control unit 14 extends the preset reference time until the door 7 of the elevator 2 is closed, and the calculated distance L is greater than the predetermined distance. If they are close, the reference time is kept.

  Moreover, when the information regarding the user's 8 physical characteristic is acquired (step Sa11; Yes), the control part 13 makes the said opening distance control part 14 calculate the said distance L and the acquired physical. Based on the information regarding the feature, the time until the door 7 of the elevator 2 is closed is controlled (step Sa13). Here, the information regarding the physical characteristics is the walking speed of the user 8. For example, when the calculated distance L is longer than a predetermined distance, the door opening / closing control unit 14 extends a preset reference time until the door 7 of the elevator 2 is closed, and uses the extended time for the user. Further correction with a walking speed of 8. Further, when the calculated distance L is shorter than the predetermined distance, the reference time is corrected by the walking speed of the user 8. Subsequently, the door opening / closing control unit 14 controls the opening / closing of the door 7 based on the times determined in Step Sa12 and Step Sa13, respectively (Step Sa14). Generally, when the user 8 is an elderly person, the walking speed tends to be slower than that of a young person. In the present embodiment, by correcting with the walking speed in addition to the calculated distance L, the user 8 can get into the elevator 2 safely and with peace of mind. In the present embodiment, even when the time until the door 7 is closed is corrected by the walking speed of the user 8, it is not shortened from the preset reference time.

  The control unit 13 transmits the time until the door 7 is closed to the wearable terminal 30 via the wireless communication unit 11, and the control unit 36 of the wearable terminal 30 transmits the received time to the guidance information notification unit. 33 is notified (step Sa15). Specifically, the control unit 36 displays the received time in the display screen 37 </ b> A of the display unit 37. In this configuration, since the user 8 can know the time until the door 7 is closed, the user 8 can get into the elevator 2 safely and safely, and the convenience of the elevator 2 can be improved.

  As mentioned above, the elevator system 1 which concerns on embodiment is provided in the elevator landing 4, the call registration apparatus 10 which registers the call information of the elevator 2, and the elevator control apparatus 20 which controls the driving | operation of the elevator 2 based on call information. , And a wearable terminal 30 having a wireless communication unit 32 that is attached to the user 8 and can communicate with the call registration device 10. When the elevator 2 or the elevator landing 4 is detected, the wearable terminal 30 includes a guidance information notification unit 33 that notifies the user 8 of guidance information including whether to use the elevator 2 by video or voice, and a user When the operation unit 34 accepts the operation 8 and the operation using the elevator 2 is performed, the control unit 36 generates call information corresponding to the operation and registers the call information via the wireless communication unit 32. Therefore, the user 8 can remotely register the desired call information by the wearable terminal 30 without directly operating the call registration device 10. For this reason, since the user 8 can perform call registration of the elevator 2 freely and easily, the convenience of the elevator system 1 can be improved.

  In the elevator system 1 according to the embodiment, the operation unit 34 includes a voice recognition unit 40 that recognizes a voice command issued by the user 8, and the control unit 36 responds to the voice command recognized by the voice recognition unit 40. Since the call information generating unit 44 that generates call information is provided, the call registration of the elevator 2 can be freely and easily performed based on the voice uttered by the user 8.

  Moreover, in the elevator system 1 which concerns on embodiment, since the guidance information alerting | reporting part 33 alert | reports together the operation information including the floor where the elevator 2 stops as guidance information, the user 8 displays the operation information of the elevator 2. It can be easily known and the convenience of the elevator 2 can be improved.

  In addition, the elevator system 1 according to the embodiment includes a landing photographing unit 18 that photographs a user 8 waiting at the elevator landing 4 and an elevator 2 in which call information is registered by the control unit 36. A distance calculation unit 15 that calculates a distance L between the user position range 52 and the landing reference standby position range 53 based on image information captured by the landing imaging unit 18 when arriving at the elevator platform 4, and the calculated distance And the door opening / closing control unit 14 for controlling the time until the door 7 of the elevator 2 is closed according to L. Therefore, the user 8 can safely and safely do not panic when the elevator 2 arrives. You can get into the elevator 2 with the heart.

[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 7 is a block diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of the elevator system according to the second embodiment, and FIG. 8 is a flowchart illustrating an operation procedure of the elevator system according to the second embodiment. Since the configuration of the elevator system 1A of the second embodiment is the same as that of the elevator system 1 of the first embodiment, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the elevator system 1 </ b> A of the second embodiment is slightly different from the controller 13 </ b> A of the call registration device 10 in the configuration of the car 3. Specifically, the control unit 13 </ b> A of the call registration device 10 includes a positional relationship determination unit 16 instead of the distance calculation unit 15. The car 3 includes an in-car photographing unit 60 and a notification unit 61.

  The in-car photographing unit 60 is a camera that is provided in the car 3 and photographs images in the car 3. The captured image information is output to the positional relationship determination unit 16 provided in the control unit 13A of the call registration device 10 through the operation control unit 21 of the elevator control device 20. Moreover, the alerting | reporting part 61 alert | reports information with respect to the user who rides in the cage | basket | car 3, For example, it is a speaker which outputs audio | voice information. This user refers to a user other than the user 8 who wears the wearable terminal 30 and performs call registration of the elevator 2.

  The positional relationship determination unit 16 determines the relationship between the position of the user 8 waiting at the elevator hall 4 photographed by the landing photographing unit 18 and the position of the user riding in the car 3 photographed by the in-car photographing unit 60. To do. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the user 8 waiting at the elevator hall 4 has a positional relationship corresponding to a blind spot from at least one user who gets in the car 3.

  Next, the operation of the elevator system 1A will be described. Since the operations from step Sa1 to step Sa8 are the same as the operation of the elevator system 1 described above, the same reference numerals are given and the description thereof is omitted. When the elevator 2 arrives at the elevator hall 4 where the user waits (step Sa8), the control unit 13A of the call registration device 10 causes the hall imaging unit 18 provided in the elevator hall 4 to image the elevator hall 4 (step). Along with Sb9), the in-car photographing unit 60 provided in the car 3 of the elevator 2 is caused to photograph the inside of the car 3 (step Sb10).

  Subsequently, the control unit 13A acquires the positional relationship between the user 8 of the elevator hall 4 and other users in the car 3 based on the image information captured by the landing imaging unit 18 and the in-car imaging unit 60. Then, it is determined whether or not the user 8 of the elevator hall 4 is at a blind spot position from other users in the car 3 (step Sb11). In this case, as illustrated in FIG. 9, the control unit 13 </ b> A sets a user position range 52 indicating the position of the user 8 wearing the wearable terminal 30 based on the image information captured by the landing imaging unit 18. For example, when the shape of the wearable terminal 30 is detected in the image information, the control unit 13A determines that there is a user 8 wearing the wearable terminal 30 at that position. Further, the control unit 13 </ b> A acquires image information captured by the in-car image capturing unit 60 through the operation control unit 21. 13 A of control parts grasp | ascertain the position of each other user 62 currently boarded in the cage | basket | car 3 with the acquired image information. The control unit 13A combines the image information in the car 3 and the image information of the elevator hall 4, and the user 8 at the elevator hall 4 is in the car 3 in the positional relationship determination unit 16. Of at least one other user 62 is determined whether it is in the blind spot position.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the blind spot position refers to a state where the user 8 is in a position outside the field of view 62 </ b> A of the other user 62 in the car 3. When a part of the car 3 is separated from the user 62, it is determined that the car is at the blind spot position.

  If it is determined in step Sb11 that the user 8 at the elevator hall 4 is not in the blind spot position from the other users 62 in the car 3 (step Sb11; No), the process is terminated. On the other hand, when the user 8 of the elevator hall 4 is at a blind spot position from another user 62 in the car 3 (step Sb11; Yes), the control unit 13A is provided in the car 3 through the operation control unit 21. Voice information “There is a user getting on the elevator” is output to the notification unit 61 (step Sb12). Accordingly, the presence of the user 8 who is in the blind spot position and is going to get on is recognized by another user 62 in the car 3, so that the user 8 can safely get on the elevator 2.

  Further, the control unit 13A makes the door opening / closing control unit 14 invalidate the closing operation of the door 7 (step Sb13). For example, the door opening / closing control unit 14 invalidates the closing operation of the door 7 until the user 8 gets on the car 3. Whether or not the user 8 gets in the car 3 can be determined based on image information taken by the in-car photographing unit 60. In this configuration, even if another user 62 in the car 3 accidentally presses the close button of the door 7, this operation becomes invalid, so that the user 8 is safe and reliable.
