Description

  The present invention relates to a group management elevator device, and more particularly, to a group management elevator device that guides the number of an elevator (a so-called number machine) that rides on a user.

Conventionally, various systems for guiding an elevator boarding a user in a system including a plurality of elevators have been proposed. Further, when guiding an elevator to be boarded, it has been proposed to identify a user and display a guide screen of a model number (so-called number) suitable for the user.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system in which a calling device having a touch screen is installed in an elevator lobby, and the calling device acquires identification information for each user using a wireless ID device (RFID). This patent document 1 describes setting the display content of a touch screen in accordance with user identification information acquired by a calling device.

Special table 2008-505037 gazette

  As described in Patent Document 1, when displaying guide information on a touch screen installed in an elevator lobby, the user needs to stop in front of the touch screen and check the display content of the touch screen. However, if the user stops in front of the touch screen and performs identification and guidance of the user, the user needs to stop once, which hinders smooth movement of the user, which is not preferable.

In addition, it is difficult to provide guidance to all users unless a large number of touch screens are prepared in the elevator lobby during the time when elevator users are concentrated. Therefore, it has not been practical to apply the conventionally proposed guidance system to an elevator with many users.
As described above, it has been conventionally proposed to appropriately guide elevator users for each user. However, it is not possible to appropriately guide a large number of users without bothering the users. However, it has been difficult with conventional techniques.

  The objective of this invention is providing the group management elevator apparatus which can perform the notification of the number of the elevator allocated to the user reliably, without making a user stop.

  The present invention includes a service request acquisition unit that determines a service request of an elevator user, an allocation processing unit that allocates an appropriate elevator from a plurality of elevators based on the service request acquired by the service request acquisition unit, and a service request acquisition The coordinate position detection unit that detects the coordinate position of the user who received the service request, and the elevator guide information allocated by the allocation processing unit are displayed at the display position corresponding to the coordinate position detected by the coordinate position detection unit. And a hall information notifying unit.

According to the group management elevator apparatus of the present invention, it is possible to appropriately notify the user of the notification of the assigned elevator without stopping the user.

<1. First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, an example of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
[1-1. System overview]
FIG. 1 is a block configuration diagram showing a schematic configuration of a group management elevator apparatus according to an example of the first embodiment of the present invention.
The group management elevator apparatus according to the example of the first embodiment of the present invention includes a landing destination floor acquisition unit 10, an input / output control system 20, a landing guide notification unit 30, and a group management control system 60. The group management control system 60 controls a plurality of elevator control units 50-1 to 50-N (N is an arbitrary integer). Each elevator control unit 50-1 to 50-N controls the operation status of each of the cars 52-1 to 52-N by the elevator driving units 51-1 to 51-N. Here, among the elevators (cars 52-1 to 52-N) prepared in a plurality, elevators assigned to the user are referred to as assigned cars.

The landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 includes a destination floor acquisition unit 11 and a coordinate position detection unit 12. The destination floor acquisition unit 11 acquires information on the destination floor of the user based on the information read by the information reading device 14. The information reading device 14 is installed at, for example, an entrance of an elevator hall, and reads information on a tag 14a possessed by an elevator user. The information reading device 14 reads the information of the user registered in the approaching tag 14a, for example, by proximity wireless communication. Instead of the tag 14a, the destination floor acquisition unit 11 may read information on a user registered in an information terminal (such as a smartphone) possessed by the user. The tag 14a possessed by the user is used as a personal authentication card in which personal information such as an employee ID card, an admission card, or a student ID card is registered. The personal information registered in the tag 14a includes information on the user's affiliation and entrance, in addition to the personal ID assigned to the user himself / herself. Alternatively, as personal information registered in the tag 14a, information on the floor number in the building where the user himself belongs or who enters the building may be registered. Further, the height information of the user himself / herself may be registered in the tag 14a.
Furthermore, information indicating that the user needs to operate differently from the normal time when the elevator is used, such as when the user is a wheelchair user, is also registered in the tag 14a.

The information reading device 14 that has read the stored information of these tags 14 a sends the read information to the destination floor obtaining unit 11. The destination floor acquisition unit 11 determines the destination floor of the user who possesses the tag 14a. For example, when the user's affiliation is acquired from the stored information of the tag 14a, it is determined on which floor of the building the affiliation belongs, and the determined floor is set as the destination floor.
Alternatively, the information reading device 14 may read only a personal ID such as an employee number stored in the tag 14a, and the destination floor obtaining unit 11 may determine the destination floor from the personal ID. In this case, the destination floor acquisition unit 11 (or the personal information management center that communicates with the destination floor acquisition unit 11) stores in advance a correspondence table between the personal ID and the destination floor, affiliation, etc. The destination floor acquisition unit 11 determines the destination floor of the user from the table.

In addition, a landing destination floor registration device 13 composed of buttons, a touch panel, and the like is installed at the elevator hall, and the user can input the destination floor. The destination floor input by the landing destination floor registration device 13 is supplied to the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10.
In addition, a detection sensor 101a that detects the coordinate position of the user is installed at the entrance of the elevator hall, and the coordinate position detection unit 12 detects the coordinate position of the user based on the detection data of the detection sensor 101a. A specific example of detecting the coordinate position of the user by the detection sensor 101a at the elevator hall will be described later.

  The destination floor information determined by the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 is supplied to the input / output control system 20. The input / output control system 20 manages input / output of information among the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10, the landing guide notification unit 30 and the group management control system 60, and receives specification information received from each processing unit (system). The information is converted into specification information that can be received by the processing unit (system) of the transmission destination.

The hall guidance notification unit 30 includes a guidance notification device 100 that guides the assigned number machine to each user. The guidance notification device 100 is composed of a relatively large display and is installed at the entrance of the hall. And the hall guidance alerting | reporting part 30 is provided with the display coordinate determination part 31 which determines which position of the guidance alerting | reporting apparatus 100 is used to alert | report (display), and the alerting | reporting process part 32 which performs the alerting | reporting process of an assigned number machine. .
The display coordinate determination unit 31 determines the coordinate position where the guidance notification device 100 notifies the assigned number machine based on the coordinate position of the user detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12. When determining the coordinate position, the display coordinate determination unit 31 may refer to the personal information read by the destination floor acquisition unit 11 from the tag 14a.

The group management control system 60 includes an operation management control system 70 that performs operation management of a plurality of cars 52-1 to 52-N, a learning system 80, and an intelligent system 90.
The learning system 80 determines which driving program is optimal from the information collected by daily operation management, or learns the daily operation status by floor, so that the destination is crowded for each departure floor. Learn the floor and calculate the high demand floor. The intelligent system 90 performs a simulation from the collected information and automatically generates an optimal driving program.
By providing such a learning system 80 and an intelligent system 90, the group management control system 60 learns the traffic situation that changes from moment to moment, automatically generates operation conditions suitable for the traffic demand unique to the building, and Provide optimal operation management for each call registration.

The operation management control system 70 includes a destination floor input reception processing unit 71, an ID determination processing unit 72, a display coordinate detection processing unit 73, an assignment changeable position determination processing unit 74, an assigned number determination unit 75, and a number machine. A display position determination unit 76 and an ID-specific assigned machine guidance processing unit 77 are provided.
The destination floor input reception processing unit 71 receives the destination call registration from the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10.
The ID determination processing unit 72 assigns IDs to be described later in the order detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12. Alternatively, the ID determination processing unit 72 performs ID management for each personal ID detected by the destination floor acquisition unit 11.

The display coordinate detection processing unit 73 determines a coordinate position (X, Y coordinate, or X coordinate) that is visible to the user and that is ahead of the detection position of the user based on the detection coordinates of the user.
The allocation changeable position determination processing unit 74 performs selection of an optimal allocation machine according to the change in traffic demand and guidance when changing the allocation machine to the user because the traffic demand has changed. In order to carry out, the coordinates of the user whose assignment can be changed are determined.
The assigned machine determination processing unit 75 selects an assigned machine for each ID assigned by the ID determination processing unit 72, and information necessary for the assignment is determined based on information such as a departure floor, a destination floor, and user attributes. It functions as an allocation processing unit that allocates elevators.
The unit display position determination unit 76 grasps the position of the user and determines the position where the assigned unit information is notified. For example, the number display position determination unit 76 performs display position determination processing so as to notify the assigned number information from the notification position entry to a specific position (for example, 50 cm before the exit of the guide passage).
The ID assigned machine guidance processing unit 77 creates ID information and assigned machine information for each ID. Then, information created by the ID-specific assigned machine guidance processing unit 77 is transmitted to the hall guidance notification unit 30.

  The ID information given by the ID determination processing unit 72 includes a mode that uses an ID given on the group management control system 60 side and a mode that uses the ID information transmitted from the landing destination floor obtaining unit 10. . The ID information set in each mode can be distinguished by, for example, dividing the value range. For example, as the ID information value, the ID information given on the group management control system 60 side is a value in the range of 0x8000 to 0xFFFF, and the ID information given by the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 is 0x0000 to 0x7FFF. Range value.

The mode in which ID information is assigned on the group management control system 60 side is a mode in which ID information is assigned based on the order of the input user information. The user information is the departure floor and destination floor information transmitted from the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10. For example, if the user from the third floor to the destination floor and the user from the fourth floor to the first floor are entered continuously, the user from the third floor to the eighth floor IDs are managed in the order of 0x8001 and users from the 4th floor of the departure floor to the 1st floor of the destination floor in the order of 0x8002.
The mode in which ID information is transmitted from the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 is, for example, an ID that is managed by an external device different from the operation management control system 70 in cooperation with a security control device (not shown) or a security server. It is a mode to do. At this time, the managed ID information is transmitted from the external device to the group management control system 60, and the group management control system 60 uses the received ID information as it is.

The display coordinate detection processing unit 73 manages position coordinates for each ID-specific user assigned by the ID determination processing unit 72 based on the coordinate position of the user detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12.
The allocation changeable position determination processing unit 74 determines a position where the allocation can be changed from the position information of the user. In this case, there is a case where once the assigned unit is registered, the overall operation efficiency is improved by changing the assignment according to the traffic situation. For example, the registration machine may be delayed in arrival than expected due to a failure or a long door opening by the user. However, after the assigned number machine guidance is provided to the user, it is difficult to change the assigned number machine for each user unless there is any guidance process. Therefore, when a user exists at a position where registration can be performed and a position where guidance for the assigned number of machines can be provided to the user, a position where another machine can be guided is set from the registered machine display.

As described above, the assigned unit determination processing unit 75 determines the assigned unit having the optimum operation efficiency in accordance with the building parameters and the use status of the user, based on the departure floor information of the user and the destination floor information. .
The machine display position determination unit 76 determines which assigned machine is to be displayed at which position for which user. This determines the coordinate position for displaying or projecting the assigned machine to a place that is easy for the user to visually understand.

As the coordinate position, the entrance position is “0”, and the display end position is P _MAX (x, y). The coordinate (x) indicates the coordinate position of the user in the traveling direction, that is, the direction from the entrance to the exit, and the coordinate (y) is a direction perpendicular to the coordinate (x), that is, for each user. Indicates the height direction.
Here, the display coordinate position that is easy for the user to understand is assumed to be P (x, y + α) with respect to the user coordinate position P (x, y). This is because it is possible to understand at a glance that it is a guidance display for oneself at a glance by performing guidance display at a position ahead by a predetermined value α with respect to the traveling direction of the user. At this time, α is set to a value such as 50 [cm] as a simple fixed value. Alternatively, it may be varied based on the height information of the user so that the user can be in an appropriate display position for any height user.

When variably setting based on the height information of the user, for example, the value of α is calculated by the following equation.
α = b / tan (a)
Here, a indicates a fixed angle, and b indicates the height of the user.
Thus, by setting the display coordinates suitable for the height of the user, appropriate guidance for each person to a place that can be easily understood visually according to the user becomes Kano.

  The ID-specific assigned machine guidance processing unit 77 manages the users calculated by the machine display position determining unit 76 in the order of IDs in the group management control system 60 for each user, and controls the input / output control system 20. The guidance display position information is transmitted to the hall guidance notification unit 30 via

  In the configuration shown in FIG. 1, each elevator control unit 50-1 to 50 -N is configured to be controlled by the group management control system 60, but the group management control system 60 is not used by switching by the switching unit 40. A control configuration is also possible. That is, when the group management control system 60 is not used, the input / output control system 20 communicates directly with each of the elevator control units 50-1 to 50-N by switching by the switching unit 40. However, the group management control system 60 is always used during normal operation.

[1-2. Platform configuration example]
FIG.2 and FIG.3 shows the structural example of the hall of an elevator. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the entire hall, and FIG. 3 is a side view showing the entrance of the hall.
In the example of FIG. 2, a hall where three elevator doors 53-1, 53-2 and 53-3 are installed is shown. When the doors 53-1, 53-2, and 53-3 are opened, the user can get on the corresponding car (for example, the car 52-1 shown in FIG. 1). Here, the elevator corresponding to the door 53-1 is referred to as Unit A, the elevator corresponding to the door 53-2 is referred to as Unit B, and the elevator corresponding to the door 53-3 is referred to as Unit C.

A guide passage 101 through which a user passes is formed at the entrance of the landing. A detection sensor 101a that detects the coordinate position of the user is disposed on one side surface of the guide passage 101, and a guidance notification device 100 that displays (notifies) guidance information is disposed on the other side surface.
The guide passage 101 is constituted by, for example, a security gate installed at an entrance of a building or a gate provided with a space through which one user can pass in order to limit the number of visitors. In addition, the guidance notification device 100 performs visual guidance notification for the user using a display such as a liquid crystal panel.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the guidance notification device 100 installed in the guidance passage 101 has a shape that displays information horizontally along the moving direction of the user 102 as will be described later. The display by the guidance notification device 100 is performed based on an instruction from the notification processing unit 32.

[1-3. Flow of guidance notification processing]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the flow of guidance notification processing for individual users in the group management elevator apparatus.
First, the landing destination floor obtaining unit 10 determines whether or not the user's destination floor has been obtained by reading the tag 14a (step S11). Here, when the user's destination floor is acquired, it is determined whether or not the coordinate position detection unit 12 has detected the user's coordinate position at the entrance (step S12). When the destination floor information in the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 and the coordinate position information in the coordinate position detection unit 12 cannot be acquired, the process returns to the determination in step S11 and waits until the destination floor and the coordinate position can be detected. To do.

When the coordinate position of the user is detected in step S12, the operation management control system 70 determines an assigned machine for the user (step S13). Then, the assigned notification device 100 displays the assigned number machine at the display position corresponding to the current coordinate position detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12 (step S14). The display position at this time changes in conjunction with the change in detection of the user's coordinate position.
Thereafter, the operation management control system 70 determines whether or not the current coordinate position detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12 is a position to end the display (step S15). Here, the operation management control system 70 waits until it detects the position to end the display, and when it is determined that the display end position is reached in step S15, ends the display of the guide information on the guide notification device 100. (Step S16).

[1-4. Processing based on user height]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing when the height information of a user is used.
First, the display coordinate detection processing unit 73 of the operation management control system 70 determines whether or not the user's own height information is included in the user information acquired by the destination floor acquisition unit 11 (step S21). Here, when there is height information, the display coordinate detection processing unit 73 sets a display position based on the acquired height (step S22). As the setting of the display position here, for example, as already described, the distance α calculated by using the equation α = b / tan (a) is used, and the distance α is set to be more than the user's coordinate position. Make it appear forward.
If there is no height information in step S21, the display coordinate detection processing unit 73 sets the display position with the distance α set to a predetermined fixed value (for example, 50 [cm]) (step S23).

[1-5. Example of processing when changing assigned units]
FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing example when the operation management control system 70 has changed the unit once assigned to the user.
First, the assignment changeable position determination processing unit 74 of the operation management control system 70 determines whether or not a change has occurred in the assigned number for the user who is displaying the guidance information in the guidance notification device 100 (step S31). Here, when there is no change, the allocation changeable position determination processing unit 74 stands by until there is a change.
When it is determined in step S31 that a change has occurred in the assigned car number, it is determined whether or not the current display position being set by the car number display position determining unit 76 is before the specific position P _chg (step S32). . Here, when the current position of the user is before the specific position P _chg , the allocation changeable position determination processing unit 74 determines that the guidance can be changed, and the guidance notification apparatus 100 determines. The displayed guidance machine (display machine) is changed (step S33). Further, when it is determined in step S32 that the current position of the user exceeds the specific position P _chg , the process of changing the guidance number displayed on the guidance notification device 100 is disabled.

[1-6. Guide information display example]
Next, the operation for displaying the guidance information will be described with reference to FIGS.
The example of FIG. 7 shows a state where the first user 102 has entered the guide passage 101. Here, the user 103 is approaching the entrance of the guide passage 101 after the user 102. An information reading device 14 is installed at the entrance of the guide passage 101.
When the information reading device 14 reads the tag 104 a (FIG. 1) possessed by the user 102, the destination floor of the user 102 is acquired by the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10. The assigned machine guidance display 100-1 is performed. Here, No. A is an assigned number, and “A” is displayed at Px + α ahead of the user by a predetermined distance α (here, 50 [cm]) from the current coordinate position Px.
The guidance display 100-1 is performed while changing the display position until the coordinate position of the user 102 reaches _PMAX . When the user 102 has reached the coordinate position P _MAX, guidance display of the to the user 102 is "A" to the end.
Further, before the coordinate position of the user 102 becomes P _chg , there may be a change in the assigned number machine displayed for guidance. The change of the assigned number displayed in the guidance display is executed by the process described in the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 8 shows an example in which the user 102 proceeds to the vicinity of the exit of the guide passage 101 and another user 103 enters the entrance.
At this time, according to the coordinate position of the user 103, the guidance display 100-2 of the assigned machine of the user 103 is performed. Here, the assigned machine of the user 103 is the B machine, and “B” is displayed. When there is the height information of the user 103, the display coordinate position is set to a position that takes into account the height of the user 103. In the flowchart of FIG. 5, the example in which the distance α before the user's coordinate position is changed according to the height has been described. However, as shown in FIG. 8, the coordinate position ( Height) y1 and y2 may be variably set.
In addition, the coordinate position of the y-axis direction about the guidance display 100-1,100-2 with respect to each user 102,103 is set to the same position (height) from the display start to the display end.

As described above, in the guidance display by the guidance notification device 100, the display position of the assigned unit information (such as “A”) moves in the X coordinate in accordance with the movement of the user. A "etc. can be notified reliably. In addition, since the guidance display position is variably set to a position that is easy to see for each user, it is possible to make notifications that are easy for each user to see from this point.
Therefore, according to the system of the present embodiment, it is possible to reliably notify the assigned unit information and the like without stopping the user, and smoothly move each user to the entrance / exit side. Can do.

[1-7. Example of displaying other information]
FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 show examples of displaying information other than the assigned machine when performing guidance display.
FIG. 9 is an example in which the destination floor display 100-1a is simultaneously performed when the guidance display 100-1 indicating the assigned machine “A” is displayed to the user 102. In this example, the guidance notification device 100 displays “destination 7th floor” as the destination floor display 100-1a in a relatively small character under the letter “A”.

FIG. 10 shows that when the guidance displays 100-1 and 100-2 indicating the assigned machines “A” and “B” are given to the users 102 and 103, a part of each personal information is displayed at the same time. This is an example. For example, when the guidance display 100-1 indicating the assigned machine “A” is displayed for the user 102, a part of digits of the ID of the user 102 (here, “A”) The personal information display 100-1b with the last three digits) is performed.
Similarly, when the guidance display 100-2 indicating the assigned number machine “B” is displayed for the user 103, a part of the digits of the ID of the user 103 (here) In the last three digits), personal information display 100-2b is performed.
The guidance notification device 100 may display part or all of the name, department, etc. instead of displaying a part of each individual ID.

<2. Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, an example of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.
In this embodiment, instead of the guidance notification device 100 described in the first embodiment, a guidance notification device 200 that projects information on the floor surface is used. The configuration of the entire system other than the guidance notification device 200 is the configuration shown in FIG. 1 described in the first embodiment. The process of the flowchart of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment is also applied to the overall flow of the guidance notification process.

[2-1. Installation example of guidance notification device]
FIGS. 11 and 12 show an example of the elevator hall configuration by the group management elevator apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11 is a plan view showing the entire hall, and FIG. 12 is a plan view showing the entrance of the hall.
The example of FIG. 11 shows a hall where doors 53-1, 53-2, 53-3 of three elevators (No. A, No. B, No. C) are installed.

  A guidance notification device 200 that projects information on the floor of the passage is installed at the entrance of the hall leading to the entrance. In this example, a total of two guidance notification devices 200 are installed, one on the right side and the left side of the entrance. Each guidance notification device 200 is arranged in an upright state, for example, in a pole shape. Further, the guidance notification device 200 may incorporate the information reading device 14 (FIG. 1) and the detection sensor 101a.

FIG. 12 shows an example in which guidance information is displayed by the guidance notification device 200.
Here, the user 201 reaches the entrance of the landing, the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 acquires the ID of the user 201, and the assigned machine “A” is determined by the operation management control system 70 based on the destination floor. Suppose that At this time, the guidance notification device 200 projects a guidance display 202 on the floor surface. In the guidance display 202 at this time, “A” which is the assigned number machine is displayed.

In the example of FIG. 12, the coordinate (x) indicates the coordinate position of the user in the traveling direction, and the coordinate (y) indicates the coordinate position of each user in the left-right direction.
As shown in FIG. 12, when the coordinate position of the user 201 is Px, the position at which the guidance notification device 200 projects the guidance display 202 is the coordinate position Px + α ahead of the coordinate position Px by a distance α. Here, α is a fixed value of 50 [cm].

  FIG. 13 shows a state where the user 201 confirms the guidance display 202 displayed on the floor F of the hall. The guidance display 202 projected by the guidance notification device 200 is ahead of the user 201 by a certain distance α, and the guidance display 202 is performed at a forward position where the user 201 can easily see.

And the projection position where the guidance display 202 is performed gradually changes as the user 201 advances. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, until the coordinate position Px of the user 201 reaches the coordinate position P _MAX, with a change in the coordinate position of the user 201, a guidance providing device 200, the projection position of the x-direction Change continuously. At this time, the display coordinates in the y direction are fixed values. In addition, the specific position P _chg is set at a position before the coordinate position P _MAX , and when the user 201 does not exceed the specific position P _chg , the assigned number on the guidance display 202 can be changed.

FIG. 14 shows a state where the position Px of the user 201 has advanced to some extent from the entrance of the hall.
As shown in FIG. 14, the position Px of the user 201, while in front of the coordinate position P _MAX is a constant distance alpha (here 50 [cm]) to the coordinate position Px at that time obtained by adding the A guidance display 202 is displayed by projection at the position.
When there is another user following the user 201, the assigned machine information is also displayed for that user.
In the case of the example in FIG. 14, since two guidance notification devices 200 are installed, the two guidance notification devices 200 alternately project and display each user who has passed through the hall. Also good. For example, it may be projected to a certain user by the right guidance notification device 200 and projected to the next user by the left guidance notification device 200. Of course, one guidance notification device 200 may project the assigned number machine at a plurality of different positions with respect to a plurality of users.

<3. Modification>
The present invention is not limited to the configurations and processes described in the first and second embodiments described above, and includes various modifications. For example, in the first embodiment, the management is performed for each ID acquired from the tag 104a or the like. However, by identifying the user's personal information via an arbitrary server and specifying the user, The assigned machine may be determined.

In the first and second embodiments described above, the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 acquires the destination floor information of the user and performs services based on the destination floor. The invention can also be applied to the case where a service request of another user other than the destination floor is acquired and a machine is assigned to each user. That is, instead of the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10, not only the destination floor but also a service request acquisition unit that acquires service requests related to the use of various elevators by the user, assigns units according to the detailed requests of the users. You may do it.
The process of detecting the user ID and the like using the tag is also an example, and other processes may be applied. For example, the user's face recognition or the like may be performed to automatically determine the user's destination floor or the like.

  Further, the signal flow lines shown in FIG. 1 indicate what is considered necessary for the description, and do not necessarily indicate all lines necessary for the apparatus. Actually, it may be considered that almost all the components are connected to each other.
