Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator call registration device that allows a passenger to register a call by voice in an elevator car.

  Elevators are used by various passengers, such as wheelchair users, elderly people, and people who have a lot of luggage. For this reason, depending on the passenger, the button operation for registering the call may be difficult or inconvenient.

Patent Documents 1 to 4 below propose a call registration device that can perform call registration of an elevator by voice.
For example, in the one described in Patent Document 1, only when it is detected that a person is standing in front of a microphone, call registration by voice is possible. This prevents incorrect call registration (voice misrecognition). Further, as means for preventing erroneous registration of calls, Patent Document 2 describes that a plurality of microphones for voice input are installed, and Patent Document 3 describes that voice recognition is performed by a plurality of processing methods. Yes.

  Patent Documents 1 to 3 disclose technologies that can be applied to a call registration device installed at an elevator hall. On the other hand, a special technique that is not applicable to a call registration device at a landing may be applied to a call registration device installed in an elevator car. For example, in the one described in Patent Document 4, call registration by voice is possible only when the door of the elevator is open, and erroneous registration of the call is caused by passenger conversation or ambient noise when the car is running. It is prevented from being done.

Japanese Patent No. 2557939 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 3-284589 Japanese Patent No. 3082618 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2002-128404

  In the thing of patent document 4, the period which can perform call registration by voice will be restricted to the slight period after a passenger gets in a cage | basket | car. For this reason, for example, when the car is congested, the door is closed before the passenger moves in front of the microphone, and the call registration function by voice may not be fully utilized. This is especially true for wheelchair users, senior citizens, and people who have a lot of baggage in their hands, and passengers who take time to move into the car or are unable to move quickly in the car. It is easy to happen when doing.

  If the door is closed before voice call registration, for example, if the passenger has luggage in both hands, he / she must first unload the luggage in the car and then operate the destination button. In other words, the effect of providing a voice call registration function is halved.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a call registration device that enables voice call registration when an elevator door is open. The object is to provide an elevator call registration device that can prevent the door from closing before it is performed.

  An elevator call registration device according to the present invention includes a voice input microphone installed in an elevator car, a person detection device for detecting passengers provided in the car, and a person detection while the elevator is open. When the apparatus detects the presence of a passenger, the call registration means for registering the call based on the audio signal input from the microphone, and when the call can be registered by the call registration means, the boarding load of the elevator The door opening time adjusting means for adjusting the door opening time based on the above.

  According to the present invention, in a call registration device capable of performing call registration by voice when the elevator door is open, it is possible to prevent the door from closing before the passenger performs call registration by voice.

Embodiment 1 FIG.
1 is a block diagram showing an elevator call registration device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing a state in an elevator car equipped with the call registration device of FIG.

  1 and 2, reference numeral 1 denotes a car that moves up and down in the elevator hoistway, and reference numeral 2 denotes a control panel that controls operation of the entire elevator such as travel control of the car 1. The car 1 is provided with a human sensor (person detection device) 3, a notification device 4, and a voice registration device 5.

  The human sensor 3 has a function of detecting passengers in a predetermined detection range. Specifically, the human sensor 3 is provided to detect a passenger who can be a user of the voice registration device 5. For example, the detection range is set so as to cross the entrance / exit of the car 1. (See FIG. 2). In the example shown in FIG. 2, by installing a plurality of human sensors 3 on the vertical column that forms the entrance / exit of the car 1, the detection ranges are arranged vertically to prevent detection omission. With this configuration, the presence of the passenger is reliably detected by at least one of the human sensors 3 when passing through the entrance / exit of the car 1.

  The alarm 4 has a function of notifying predetermined information to passengers in the car 1. This alarm device 4 is constituted by, for example, a speaker that performs voice guidance for passengers in the car 1.

  The voice registration device 5 is installed in the car 1 so that passengers in the car 1 can register calls by voice. The voice registration device 5 includes, for example, a microphone (voice input device) 6, a display device 7, and a voice recognition device 8.

  The microphone 6 is installed in the car 1 for voice input. That is, a passenger who wants to register a call by voice inputs voice information such as his / her destination floor from the microphone 6. The display device 7 has a function of displaying to the passengers in the car 1 that the voice registration device 5 is usable, that is, that call registration by voice is possible. The display device 7 is configured by, for example, an LED or the like.

  In the example shown in FIG. 2, the microphone 6 and the display device 7 are arranged on the operation panel 9 in the car 1. The operation panel 9 is provided with a door opening button 10, a door closing button 11, and each destination button 12 in addition to the alarm 4.

  The voice recognition device 8 constitutes a main part of the present invention, and has a function of registering a call based on voice information input from the microphone 6 and a passenger who has boarded the car 1 performs call registration by voice. It has a function to prevent the elevator from being closed before. Specifically, the voice recognition device 8 is mainly configured by a person detection unit 13, a call registration enable determination unit 14, a voice recognition unit 15, a call registration unit 16, and a door opening time adjustment unit 17.

  The human detection means 13 receives a detection signal from the human sensor 3 and detects the presence or absence of a passenger who can be a user of the voice registration device 5.

  The call registration possibility determination means 14 has a function of determining whether or not a call can be registered by voice. That is, even if the passenger inputs a voice from the microphone 6 when the call registration determination unit 14 determines that call registration by voice is impossible, the call registration is not performed. The call registration enable determination means 14 receives the detection result of the presence or absence of passengers from the person detection means 13 and data related to the operation status of the elevator from the control panel 2. The data input from the control panel 2 includes, for example, various information such as the door opening / closing status of the elevator and the load on the elevator. And the call registration possibility determination means 14 is based on those input information, for example, when the presence sensor 3 detects the presence of a passenger during the opening of the elevator, until the door is closed. It is determined that call registration is possible.

  The voice recognition unit 15 manages the voice recognition function of the voice registration device 5. The voice recognition function by the voice recognition means 15 may be based on any method as long as it is possible to determine whether the voice uttered by the passenger to the microphone 6 is a request for call registration. . For example, the voice recognition means 15 identifies whether there is a voice signal input from the microphone 6 that matches a registered voice signal under a predetermined condition. The destination floor corresponding to the registered voice signal is specified as the passenger's destination floor. Such a technique is also applied to, for example, a car navigation system.

  The call registration unit 16 has a function of registering a call based on the determination result of the call registration possibility determination unit 14 and the processing result of the voice recognition unit 15. In other words, the call registration unit 16 determines that the call registration unit 16 determines that the call registration by voice is possible, while the voice recognition unit 15 determines whether the passenger can recognize the call based on the voice signal input from the microphone 6. When the destination floor is identified, a command corresponding to the identification result is output to the control panel 2 to register the passenger call.

  Note that the above function of the call registration means 16 is, for example, only when the microphone 6 is switched on or the voice recognition function of the voice recognition means 15 is enabled only when it is determined that registration is possible by the call registration possibility determination means 14. Can be easily realized. Further, the call registration unit 16 determines whether or not call registration is possible, so that the voice input from the microphone 6 and the voice recognition function of the voice recognition unit 15 are always set to be valid. Also good.

When the passenger can register a call by voice from the voice registration device 5, that is, when the call registration by the call registration means 16 can be performed, the door opening time adjusting means 17 is based on the riding load of the elevator. And has a function to adjust the door opening time appropriately. For example, when the call registration enablement determination unit 14 determines that the call registration by voice is possible, the door opening time adjustment unit 17 calculates the expected usage time of the voice registration device 5 by the passenger based on the boarding load of the elevator. Then, a door opening (extension) command corresponding to the calculation result is output to the control panel 2.
Table 1 below shows an example of a method for adjusting the door opening time in the present embodiment.

  The door opening time adjustment means 17 acquires the boarding load of an elevator from the control panel 2 via the call registration possibility determination means 14, for example. In addition, the boarding load of an elevator is calculated based on the number of users of the voice registration device 5, that is, the number of passengers expected to register a call by voice, for example. In the example shown in Table 1, the expected number of passengers is calculated from the riding weight (the whole or an increase) of the car 1 detected by a predetermined weighing device. That is, the riding load of the elevator is obtained by dividing the boarding weight of the car 1 detected by the scale device by the carable weight of the car 1. Then, the door opening time adjustment means 17 adjusts the door opening time based on the acquired elevator load so that, for example, the door opening time increases (extends) as the elevator load increases. Do. Table 1 shows, as an example, a case where the door opening time increases stepwise as the riding load of the elevator increases.

  Note that each of the means 13 to 17 included in the voice recognition device 8 is configured by software on a microcomputer, for example.

  Next, the operation of the call registration device having the above configuration will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator call registration device according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, and shows a specific processing flow of the voice registration device 5.

In the voice registration device 5, the call registration possibility determination means 14 acquires data on the operation status of the elevator from the control panel 2 (S101). The data acquired at this time includes, for example, various information such as the door opening / closing status of the car 1, the registration status of the call, and the load on the elevator.
Further, in the voice registration device 5, the person detecting means 13 acquires data relating to the user status of the voice registration device 5 from the human sensor 3 (S102).

  Upon acquiring various types of information in S101 and S102, the voice registration device 5 determines whether or not it is possible to register a call by voice by the call registration enable determination unit 14 (S103). The call registration possibility determination means 14 is, for example, that the car 1 is being opened, that the car is in an operating state in which call registration can be performed, and the presence sensor 3 detects the presence of a passenger. If all of the above conditions are satisfied, it is determined that the voice registration device 5 is in a usable state, that is, that call registration by voice is possible (Yes in S103).

  If it is determined in S103 that the voice registration device 5 can be used, the voice registration device 5 turns on the switches of the display device 7 and the microphone 6 (S104). As a result, for example, as shown in FIG. 2, the LED of the display device 7 is turned on to display “available” or the like, and the passengers in the car 1 are informed that call registration by voice is possible. Is done. In addition, voice input can be performed from the microphone 6.

  Further, when voice input from the microphone 6 becomes possible in S104, the voice recognition means 15 starts a voice recognition process (S105). When the voice recognition unit 15 recognizes a predetermined floor as the passenger's destination floor (Yes in S106), the call registration unit 16 outputs a command according to the recognition result of the voice recognition unit 15 to the control panel 2. Then, call registration is performed (S107).

  If it is determined in S103 that the voice registration device 5 can be used, the voice registration device 5 uses the door opening time adjustment means 17 to set the door opening time adjustment value for adjusting the door opening time. Calculation is performed (S108). For example, when the table shown in Table 1 is prepared in advance in the voice registration device 5, the door opening time adjusting means 17 is a door for extending the door opening time by 10 seconds when the riding load of the elevator becomes 11%. An open (extension) command is transmitted to the control panel 2 (S109). After that, when the car 1 continues to be loaded and the boarding load reaches 31%, the door opening time adjusting means 17 extends the door opening time by 20 seconds (to extend the door opening time by another 10 seconds). The door opening command is transmitted to the control panel 2.

  In addition, the said Table 1 shows an example of the table prepared in order to calculate the door opening time adjustment value. The door opening time adjustment value is configured to be arbitrarily set according to the installation status of the elevator.

  When the door opening command is transmitted in S109, the voice registration device 5 returns to the process of S101 and repeats the above processes until it is determined in S103 that call registration by voice is impossible.

  Moreover, after the elevator opens at a predetermined landing, when the time including the door opening adjustment time by the door opening time adjusting means 17 has elapsed, the elevator starts a door closing operation at the landing. When the elevator is closed, the condition for using the voice registration device 5 is not satisfied, and the call registration enable determination unit 14 makes a No determination in the determination of S103.

  If it is determined by the call registration possibility determination means 14 that call registration by voice is impossible, the voice registration device 5 turns off the switches of the display device 7 and the microphone 6 (S110). Thereby, the LED display of the display device 7 is turned off, and the passengers in the car 1 are notified that the usage time of the voice registration device 5 has ended. When the voice input from the microphone 6 is stopped, the voice recognition means 15 ends the voice recognition process (S111). As a result, it is possible to prevent a call from being erroneously registered due to the conversation of the passengers after the door is closed (including after the car 1 starts running), ambient noise, and the like.

  After completing the voice recognition process in S111, the voice registration device 5 returns to S101 and performs each process of S101 to S103. When the voice registration device 5 determines again that the voice registration device 5 can be used in S103, the voice registration device 5 turns on the switches of the display device 7 and the microphone 6 and performs the processes in and after S105. .

  According to Embodiment 1 of the present invention, when the car 1 stops at the landing and opens, the opening time at the landing is appropriately adjusted according to the loading load of the elevator. For this reason, the time during which the voice registration device 5 can be used is appropriately extended according to the riding load of the elevator, so that the passenger can surely perform voice call registration before the door closing operation is started. Become.

  In the present embodiment, the case has been described in which the number of users of the voice registration device 5 (elevator riding load) is calculated based on the boarding weight in the car 1. However, this is merely an example, and the number of users may be calculated by other methods. For example, by installing a camera in the car 1, the number of passengers (total number of people or newly boarded people) is detected from the in-car image taken by the camera, and the voice registration device 5 is based on the detection result. The number of users (elevator riding load) may be calculated.

Embodiment 2. FIG.
In the first embodiment, when the voice registration device 5 is ready for use, the door opening time is appropriately extended according to the riding load of the elevator, and the door is closed before the passenger performs call registration by voice. Prevented. However, in the configuration shown in the first embodiment, when the call registration is performed smoothly, that is, when it is no longer necessary to extend the door opening time by sequentially performing the call registration, the door opening time adjusting means 17 is used. Due to the above-described adjustment function, the door opening time may be unnecessarily extended.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a main part of an elevator call registration device according to Embodiment 2 of the present invention, and shows a specific configuration for solving the above-mentioned problems.
The voice registration device 5 according to the present embodiment is provided with a door opening time correction means 18 in the voice recognition device 8 in addition to the above-described means 13 to 17. Note that the door opening time correction means 18 is also configured by software on a microcomputer, for example, similarly to the other means 13 to 17.

The door opening time correcting means 18 has a function of correcting the door opening time according to the usage record of the voice registration device 5 when the passenger can register a call by voice from the voice registration device 5. For example, when it is determined by the call registration availability determination unit 14 that the call registration by voice is possible, the door opening time correction unit 18 performs the door opening time adjustment unit 17 based on the call registration result by the call registration unit 16. The output is corrected, and a door opening (extension) command corresponding to the correction result is output to the control panel 2.
Table 2 below shows an example of a method for correcting the opening time in the present embodiment.

  The door opening time correction means 18 acquires the call registration record (the number of calls registered by the call registration means 16) from the call registration means 16 via the door opening time adjustment means 17, for example. Then, the door opening time correction means 18 determines the door opening time so that the door opening time becomes shorter as the number of calls registered by the call registration means 16 increases, for example, based on the acquired call registration record. Make corrections. Table 2 shows an example in which the door opening time is shortened by 5 seconds each time a call is registered by the call registration means 16.

  Other configurations including the configuration other than the voice registration device 5 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  Next, the operation of the call registration device having the above configuration will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator call registration device according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and shows a specific processing flow of the voice registration device 5 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 5 corresponds to the operation of S108 in FIG. That is, other operations (before and after the operation shown in FIG. 5) are the same as S101 to S107 and S109 to S111 in FIG.

When it is determined by the call registration availability determination unit 14 that the voice registration device 5 can perform call registration by voice (corresponding to Yes in S103 in FIG. 3), the door opening time adjustment unit 17 sets the door opening time adjustment value. Calculation is performed (S201). Then, the door opening time adjustment means 17 outputs the calculated door opening time adjustment value to the door opening time correction means 18.

  When the door opening time correction means 18 receives the door opening time adjustment value from the door opening time adjustment means 17, first, the door opening time correction value for correcting the door opening time adjustment value is calculated (S202). Specifically, when the table shown in Table 2 is prepared in advance in the voice registration device 5, the door opening time correction means 18 multiplies the number of calls registered by the call registration means 16 by the voice registration call coefficient. By doing so, a door opening time correction value is obtained. For example, when two calls are registered by the call registration unit 16 during the door opening period, the door opening time correction unit 18 calculates −10 seconds as the door opening time correction value.

  Table 2 shows an example of a table prepared for calculating the door opening time correction value. The door opening time correction value is configured to be arbitrarily set according to the installation status of the elevator.

  Next, the door opening time correction means 18 corrects the door opening time adjustment value received from the door opening time adjustment means 17 using the calculated door opening time correction value (S203). Specifically, the door opening time correction means 18 performs the above correction by subtracting the door opening time correction value calculated in S202 from the door opening time adjustment value received from the door opening time adjustment means 17. For example, when -10 seconds is calculated as the door opening time correction value, the door opening time correction means 18 is 20 seconds to 10 if the door opening time adjustment value received from the door opening time adjustment means 17 is 20 seconds. A value obtained by subtracting seconds (10 seconds) is calculated as a corrected door opening time adjustment value.

  When the door opening time adjustment value is corrected, the door opening time correction means 18 determines whether or not the corrected door opening time adjustment value is less than 0 (S204). Then, if the corrected door opening time adjustment value is less than 0, the door opening time correction means 18 corrects the value to 0 again (S205), and ends the process. When the corrected door opening time adjustment value is 0 or more (No in S204), the door opening time correction means 18 extends the door opening time by the door opening time adjustment value obtained in the process of S203. Therefore, a door opening (extension) command based on the value is transmitted to the control panel 2 (corresponding to S109 in FIG. 3).

  According to the second embodiment of the present invention, the door opening time can be appropriately corrected in real time in accordance with the registration status of the call that changes after the elevator door is opened. It is possible to reliably prevent the door opening time from being unnecessarily extended. In the case where the voice recognition device 8 includes the door opening time correction means 18, for example, when the call registration possibility determination means 14 determines that call registration by voice is not possible (corresponding to No in S103 in FIG. 3). The call registration result by the call registration means 16 may be reset (to 0).

Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 6 is a block diagram showing an elevator call registration device according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 6, in the present embodiment, a camera (priority detection device) 19 is newly connected to the elevator control panel 2, and priority passenger determination means 20 is newly provided in the voice recognition device 8. It has been. In addition, the priority passenger determination means 20 is comprised by the software on a microcomputer, for example like other each means 13 thru | or 17 (18).

  The camera 19 is installed in the car 1 in order to take an image of the car 1. Image information photographed by the camera 19 is input to the voice registration device 5 via the control panel 2.

The priority passenger determination unit 20 has a function of determining a predetermined priority passenger based on image information captured by the camera 19. The priority passenger is a passenger who is likely to be restricted by movement into the car 1 or movement in the car 1 and is expected to take longer than usual for a call registration operation. For example, wheelchair users, elderly people, people whose hands are blocked by luggage, etc. are included in the priority passengers. Then, when the priority passenger determination means 20 determines the number of priority passengers, the door opening time adjustment means 17 calculates a door opening time adjustment value based on the determination result, and opens the door according to the calculation result (door opening ( (Extension) command is output to the control panel 2. In addition, the function which determines a priority passenger may be provided in the apparatus (priority detection apparatus) of the camera 19 side.
Tables 3 and 4 below show an example of a method for adjusting the door opening time in the present embodiment.

  The priority passenger determination means 20 determines priority passengers for each predetermined type, such as a wheelchair user, an elderly person, and a person whose baggage is occupied (baggage person). The door opening time adjusting means 17 calculates the door opening time adjustment value based on the number of priority passengers determined by the priority passenger determining means 20, and adjusts the door opening time. Table 4 shows as an example the case where different extension times are applied for each type of priority passenger.

  Other configurations including the configuration other than the voice registration device 5 are the same as those in the first or second embodiment.

  Next, the operation of the call registration device having the above configuration will be specifically described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator call registration device according to the third embodiment of the present invention, and shows a specific processing flow of the voice registration device 5 according to the present embodiment. 7 corresponds to the operation of S108 in FIG. That is, other operations (before and after the operation shown in FIG. 7) are the same as S101 to S107 and S109 to S111 in FIG.

  When the call registration availability determination unit 14 determines that the call registration by voice is possible (corresponding to Yes in S103 in FIG. 3), the voice registration device 5 determines the priority passenger based on the image information from the camera 19. Then, the door opening time adjustment value is calculated. Specifically, when the tables shown in Tables 3 and 4 are prepared in advance in the voice registration device 5, the priority passenger determination unit 20 is based on image information from the camera 19, wheelchair users, elderly people, Detect the number of baggage persons. The discrimination function by the priority passenger determination means 20 employs a general image processing technique such as identifying a baggage person or a wheelchair user based on the size or shape of a moving object, or determining the age based on face recognition. It can be realized by doing.

  Upon receiving the detection result of the priority passenger determination means 20, the door opening time adjustment means 17 first multiplies the number of baggage persons detected by the priority passenger determination means 20 by a predetermined baggage person time, thereby calculating the baggage passenger time. Calculate (S301). Similarly, the door opening time adjustment means 17 multiplies the number of wheelchair users detected by the priority passenger determination means 20 by a predetermined wheelchair time (S302), and the priority passenger determination means 20 detects the wheelchair passenger time. The elderly passenger time is calculated by multiplying the number of elderly people by a predetermined elderly person time (S303). And the door opening time adjustment means 17 adds each time calculated in S301 thru | or S303, and calculates priority passenger time (S304).

  For example, when the priority passenger determination means 20 detects one baggage person, two wheelchair users, and three elderly persons, the door opening time adjustment means 17 sets the baggage passenger time to 1 × 3 = 3 seconds. The wheelchair passenger time is calculated as 2 × 7 = 14 seconds, and the elderly passenger time is calculated as 3 × 5 = 15 seconds. And the door opening time adjustment means 17 adds up these time, and calculates priority passenger time as 3 + 14 + 15 = 32 second.

  When the priority passenger time is calculated in S304, the door opening time adjusting means 17 obtains the door opening time adjustment value by adding the basic time preset for the healthy person to the calculated priority passenger time (S305). ). For example, when the priority passenger time is calculated as 32 seconds in S304, the door opening time adjusting means 17 calculates the door opening time adjustment value as 10 + 32 = 42 seconds.

  When the door opening time adjustment value is calculated in S305, the door opening time adjustment means 17 determines whether or not the calculated door opening time adjustment value is equal to or greater than the maximum door opening time (S306). Then, if the door opening time adjustment value calculated in S305 is equal to or greater than the maximum door opening time, the door opening time adjusting means 17 matches the value with the maximum door opening time (S307) and ends the process. In addition, when the door opening time adjustment value calculated in S305 is less than the maximum door opening time (No in S306), the door opening time adjusting means 17 uses the door opening time adjustment value obtained in the process of S305 to open the door opening time. In order to perform the adjustment, a door opening (extension) command based on the value is transmitted to the control panel 2 (corresponding to S109 in FIG. 3). For example, when the door opening time adjustment value is calculated as 42 seconds in S305, this value is smaller than the maximum door opening time (60 seconds), so the door opening time adjustment means 17 sets the door opening time adjustment value to 42 seconds. The door opening command is transmitted to the control panel 2.

  Tables 3 and 4 above show examples of tables prepared for calculating the door opening time correction value. The door opening time correction value is configured to be arbitrarily set according to the installation status of the elevator.

According to the third embodiment of the present invention, the door opening time at the landing can be appropriately adjusted even when the passengers of the elevator are biased to specific types of passengers. For this reason, the time during which the voice registration device 5 can be used is also appropriately extended according to the type of passenger, and the passenger can reliably perform voice call registration before the door closing operation is started. .
The other effects are the same as those of the first or second embodiment.

  The elevator call registration device according to the present invention can be applied to an elevator car in which passengers can register calls by voice.
