Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator system in which a user registers destination floor information before boarding an elevator.

  In order to register the destination floor without any user operation at the landing or in the car, when the user comes within a predetermined distance from the elevator, the receiving device placed within the distance from the transmitting device possessed by the user It is known to register a call by sensing a signal, which is described in Patent Document 1, for example.

  Also, even if the user's hands are not available, the destination floor can be pre-selected to meet personal needs with a portable information transmitter so that the destination call can be input without any personal operation. It is possible to specify the destination floor according to his / her wishes and within the authorized range, and to inform the user of the fixed destination floor every time personal characteristics are recognized. For example, it is described in Patent Document 2.

  In addition, after passing through the security gate, even if the user cannot get on the assigned car for some reason, the assigned assigned car will be placed on the predetermined floor to allow the user to use the elevator. It is known to automatically register a destination call based on destination floor information for an assigned car when it is detected that the user has boarded, and is described in Patent Document 3, for example.

  Furthermore, in order to guide the flow of the user until getting into the elevator more smoothly and to prevent the congestion of the elevator user at the time of congestion, the user is restricted to the direction of the elevator hall at the gate and at the entrance of the gate at the destination floor Can be registered and the elevator assigned to the exit is displayed, for example, described in Patent Document 4.

JP-A 61-235375 JP 2000-289943 A International Publication No. WO2010 / 023723 Pamphlet JP 2011-126690 A

  In the prior art described above, in the one described in Patent Document 1, when the user comes within a predetermined distance from the elevator, a call is registered. Therefore, if the user simply passes through the elevator hall and does not get on, there is a useless destination floor. There is a risk of being registered. The more the receiver is installed at a position away from the elevator, the greater the power consumption required for communication with the transmitter, resulting in wasted power consumption of the portable transmitter.

  Moreover, in the thing of patent document 2, since the destination floor can be selected in advance by a portable information transmitter or the destination floor can be designated according to one's own wish, it is used to go to a pre-registered fixed destination floor. If there is a mix of a user who goes to a destination floor different from the registered destination floor, the destination floor is registered, but the traffic of the user due to the change of the destination floor is caused, or the assignment is changed. However, the operation efficiency of the elevator may be reduced frequently.

  Furthermore, in the thing of patent document 3, since a destination call is registered after detecting that the user got on the determined allocation cage | basket | car, allocation is determined irrespective of having previously input the destination floor. The timing is delayed, making it difficult to make an optimal allocation with good operation efficiency.

  Further, the one described in Patent Document 4 is also good when going to a normal destination floor registered in advance, but in other cases, the traffic of the user accompanying the change of the destination floor is caused, or the assignment is changed. Occasionally, elevator operation efficiency may be reduced.

  An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, to prevent useless registration of destination floors, and to cope with changes in destination floors, thereby reducing the power consumption of a portable information transmitter.

  In order to solve the above-described problems, the present invention has a control device that operates an elevator, and in an elevator system that registers a destination floor before the user gets into the elevator, the route to the entrance of the elevator hall or the elevator hall A commanding device installed in the control unit, a recognition device installed in the elevator hall that communicates with the control device, a first communication unit communicating with the commanding device, and a second communication unit communicating with the recognition device A communication processing program for establishing communication between the recognition device and the second communication unit, and an information terminal device carried by a user, wherein the command device and the information terminal device When communication is started by the first communication unit, the communication processing program is activated and communication between the information terminal device and the recognition device is performed by the second communication unit. It is those that are carried out.

  According to the present invention, when communication between the instruction device and the information terminal device is started, the communication between the information terminal device and the recognition device is performed by the second communication unit, so that power saving of the second communication unit is achieved. In addition, the registration of the useless destination floor can be prevented and the change of the destination floor can be handled.

  Posting the first communication, that is, the passive communication mode advantageous for power saving based on the NFC interface, by starting the information terminal device carried by the user as the target on the command device as the initiator, and the communication processing An example will be described in which the program is activated and elevator call registration is performed in the second communication unit, that is, the active communication mode.

  FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of an elevator system, in which the elevator operation devices 201, 202, and 20k that individually control a plurality of elevator cars 301, 302, and 30k, and the overall operation efficiency of each elevator are optimized. And a control device 100 for controlling the operation. In the control device 100, operation data such as elevator information and destination floor information that changes from time to time is transmitted to the learning system 102, and the learning system 102 learns the traffic situation based on the operation data, and Determine if the driving program is suitable. The intelligent system 103 uses the learning result to generate a new feature mode and simulate an elevator operation, and automatically generates an optimal driving program corresponding to each traffic demand. The operation management control unit 101 uses the operation program to perform allocation control for determining which elevators are to be dispatched for each destination floor, and also performs an allocation command for each destination floor to the elevator control system.

  A plurality of command devices 500 are installed in places where an elevator user gets into the elevator, such as an entrance of a building or an elevator hall, or a route to the entrance of the elevator hall or the elevator hall. The instruction device 500 may be installed on a wall surface near the entrance of a building, or may be installed on a gate such as a flapper gate. In addition, the command device 500 includes a call process activation permission signal generation unit 501, an authentication result display unit 502, and a user / terminal authentication unit 503. The user / terminal authentication information database 600 is held in a building management server or the like.

  The information terminal device 400 is a mobile phone, a smart phone (multi-function mobile phone), a tablet terminal, or the like carried by a user, has an NFC interface, an IC tag as the first communication unit 401, and a second communication As the unit 402, a wireless communication protocol such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark), a call processing activation unit 403, a call communication processing unit 404, an authentication data acquisition / transmission unit 405, a user / A terminal information database 406 is provided. The call communication processing unit 404 includes a call candidate data acquisition unit 4041, a call data transmission unit 4042, an assigned car data reception unit 4043, and a screen display unit 4044. The call process activation unit 403, the call communication processing unit 404, and the user / terminal information database 406 are applications for performing call registration, and these are hereinafter collectively referred to as “call registration applications”.

  The recognition devices 700 (701, 702, ..., 70n) are installed in or near the elevator hall on one or more floors.

  Below, the flow of processing until the user is authenticated and the assigned car is determined will be described.

  The recognizing device 700 determines whether or not the destination floor can be changed according to the traffic demand, that is, the determination result by a determination processing unit (not shown) that determines whether the traffic situation of the user is congested or unoccupied, or the time. As a signal, a destination floor change non-permission signal is transmitted to the command device 500 when it is crowded, and a destination floor change permission signal when it is not busy.

  The user / terminal authentication unit 503 is a user whose authentication data acquisition / transmission unit 405 is recorded in the user / terminal information database 406 via the first communication unit 401 in the information terminal device carried by the user. After reading the terminal information, the user / terminal authentication information database 600 is accessed to perform user / terminal authentication. After the authentication, the authentication result is displayed on the authentication result display unit 502, and in the case of authentication OK, the call process activation permission signal generation unit 501 receives a call process activation permission signal of the authenticated terminal and a signal indicating whether or not the destination floor can be changed. The data is transmitted to the call processing activation unit 403 via the first communication unit 401.

  The call process activation unit 403 activates the call communication processing unit 404 after receiving the call process activation permission signal from the call process activation permission signal generation unit 501 and the signal indicating whether the destination can be changed from the recognition device 700. At this time, if the destination change permission / inhibition signal is a permission signal, the destination change permission mode is activated. If the destination change permission signal is a non-permission signal, the destination change permission mode is activated.

  The call communication processing unit 404 communicates with the recognition device 700 via the second communication unit, and after establishing communication, the call data candidate data acquisition unit 4041 reads the user destination floor call data from the user / terminal information database 406. And the call data transmission unit 4042 transmits the destination floor call data of the user acquired to the recognition device 700. The recognizing device 700 transmits the user's destination floor call data to the operation management control unit 101.

  The operation management control unit 101 performs an assignment process for determining which car to dispatch to the received destination floor call data, and transmits the assigned car data for the destination floor call data to the recognition device 700. The recognizing device 700 transmits the assigned car data to the information terminal device 400. The assigned car data receiving unit 4043 receives assigned car data from the recognition device 700.

  In the “call registration application”, the screen display unit 4044 displays information on destination floors to be transmitted and assigned car data on the screen. The machine control devices 201, 202, and 20 k individually control the operation of each elevator under the control of the operation management control unit 101. In addition, for each elevator, information on events such as car load and door opening / closing is transmitted to the operation management control unit 101.

In the example of FIG. 1, a call process activation permission signal generation unit 501 is provided in the instruction device 500, and the call process activation unit 403 is operated based on the call process activation permission signal. In 403, the call communication processing unit 404 may be activated based on the authentication result by the user / terminal authentication unit 503.

  As described above, with the NFC interface, the first communication unit is used as a virtual connector and the second communication unit is used as a virtual cable to automatically exchange parameters necessary for communication and a secret key for communication. Establish automatically.

  In addition, in the example of FIG. 1, the authentication result display unit 502 is provided in the command device 500 to display the authentication result. However, the authentication result display unit 502 is not provided, and the authentication result is displayed on the screen of “call registration application”. It may be displayed on the part 4044. Thereby, it is not necessary to provide the authentication result display unit 502 in the instruction device 500, and the cost can be reduced.

  FIG. 2 shows a traffic demand, and a determination processing unit (not shown) for determining whether the traffic situation of the user is busy or busy.

  (A) is the number of people getting on and off by floor showing the flow of people in the building. The numbers on the vertical axis are the numbers on each floor, the right on the horizontal axis is the number of people getting on and off, and the number of people getting on and off on the second floor is one in this figure. It shows that there are many. The left side of the horizontal axis is the number of people going up, and this figure shows that the number of people getting on and off the first floor is the largest. The learning system 102 in the group management control system 100 learns the traffic situation based on the elevator information such as the car position and the number of passengers and the destination floor information, and determines which driving program is suitable at that time. Yes. Therefore, the number of people getting on and off by floor showing the flow of people in the building, from FIG. 2A to one of the feature modes (M1 to M6) showing the typical traffic information in the building from the online input information. Identify whether it belongs.

  In the feature modes M1 to M6, as illustrated in FIG. 2B, in this example, the horizontal axis indicates the number of people getting on and off, and the vertical axis indicates the number of people getting on and off. It is shown. In the case of a normal office building, the area M1 with a small number of passengers both up and down is quiet, the area M3 with a large uphill condition is congested and up-peak, and the area with a large number of passengers is congested and is called a down-peak. The area is typically divided into areas as shown in the figure, but there are characteristics depending on the nature of the building, and new characteristics may be extracted from the collected traffic information. When a new feature is extracted, it is generated and registered as the feature mode Mn unique to the building, and the tendency of changes in the other feature modes M1 to M6 is learned. As described above, the determination processing unit can determine whether the traffic situation of the user is congested or quiet according to the traffic situation obtained by the learning system 102 and the feature modes M1 to M6.

  In addition to using the learning system 102, the determination processing unit may simply determine a time zone, for example, a busy hour in the morning, and a quiet daytime.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of personal authentication in the command device 500. In FIG. 3, one or more instruction devices 500 are installed at a location where an elevator user gets into the elevator, such as a building entrance or an elevator hall entrance. The command device 500 may be attached to the wall surface 800 of the building, or may be attached to a flapper gate 803 provided with a flap 802 or the like. In addition, when attaching to a flapper gate, the door opening / closing of a flap is controlled according to the result of personal authentication. The command device 500 includes a communication terminal 505. When the command device 500 includes the authentication result display unit 502, the command device 500 includes a screen 504 for displaying the authentication result. The user performs personal authentication by holding the portable information terminal device 400 over the communication device 505. In the case of authentication OK, the screen 504 displays that the authentication is OK. However, when the command device 500 does not have the authentication result display unit 502, it may be displayed on the screen display unit 4044 of the portable information terminal 400.

  FIG. 4 shows an example of the installation location of the recognition device 700. In (a), it is assumed that the recognition device 700 is installed on the ceiling of an elevator hall or the like. At this time, as shown in (b), since the user P1 is within the communicable area A1 of the recognition device 700, when communication between the information terminal device carried by the user P1 and the recognition device 700 is established, the destination Floor call data is registered. On the other hand, since the user P2 is outside the communicable area A1 of the recognition apparatus 700 and is moving away from this area, the information terminal apparatus carried by the user P2 and the recognition apparatus 700 cannot communicate with each other. Floor call data is not registered. For this reason, only the user who uses the elevator is registered with the destination floor call.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the instruction device. The user holds the portable information terminal device over the command device and receives authentication for using the elevator in the building.

  S501: The information terminal device provided with the IC tag as a target via the first communication unit, that is, the 13.56 MHz wireless interface having a communication distance of about 0 to 20 cm as an instruction device 500 is posted as an initiator. To detect.

  S502: When a response is returned as a reflected wave to the request from the initiator from the information terminal device, the user / terminal information is acquired from the user / terminal information database 406 of the information terminal device.

  S503: The user / terminal authentication information database 600 is referred to based on the user / terminal information.

  S504: It is determined from the acquired user / terminal information and the referred user / terminal authentication information database 600 whether personal authentication is OK.

  S505: If authentication is OK, a call communication process activation permission signal is generated.

  S506: A call communication process activation permission signal and a destination floor change permission / inhibition signal are transmitted to the information terminal device via the first communication unit.

  S507: The authentication result display unit 502 displays that the authentication is OK.

  In S501, the detection determination in S501 is repeated until it is detected that the information terminal device 400 is held over.

  If it is determined in step S504 that the authentication is NG, the process proceeds to step S508, where the authentication result display unit 502 indicates that the authentication is NG, a call communication processing activation signal is not generated, and the user uses the information terminal device. The elevator call registration is not possible. Although only the operation of the instruction device is described in FIG. 5, when interlocking with the flapper gate, flap door opening / closing control is performed in S505 and S508.

  In the above description, the personal authentication is performed. However, the response is returned from the information terminal device including the IC tag to the initiator, that is, the second communication unit in the active communication mode after the passive communication mode is established. It is only necessary to exchange parameters and secret keys necessary for Bluetooth (registered trademark) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark) and automatically establish communication of the second communication unit. Therefore, since the communication protocol is such that the first communication unit becomes a virtual connector and the second communication unit becomes a virtual cable, the power of the active communication mode can be saved, and the information terminal device can be reduced in size, weight, long operation, etc. realizable.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a basic operation when the information terminal device 400 goes to a predetermined destination floor after authentication by the commanding device 500.

  S601: A “call registration application” for which application initial setting has already been completed is activated on the information terminal device.

S602: Since the authentication has been completed, based on the application screen definition information (not shown) stored in the memory in the information terminal device, for example, the use frequency is determined from the destination floor information and past history information set in the application initial setting. App screen that is optimal for the user, including high destination floor information. The screen definition information is information that can be easily edited by the user because it can be displayed on the screen according to the preference and characteristics of the user.
S603: When the “call registration application” is activated in the destination change non-permission mode, the process proceeds to S604, and when the destination change permission mode is activated, the process proceeds to S607.

  S604: When the user arrives in the vicinity of the elevator hall, that is, when the communication between the second communication unit 402 and the recognition device 700 is established, at least the destination floor of the user initially set by the “call registration app” Based on the information on the destination, after making an announcement to register the destination floor information (voice announcement, displaying the destination floor characters to be registered in highlighted color, etc.), at least the destination floor information is controlled using the second communication unit 402 To 100.

S605: The optimal allocation car is determined in the control device 100, and an allocation signal is transmitted to the assigned car number controller (any of 201 to 20k).
S606: Furthermore, the control device 100 uses the screen display unit 404 to transmit the assigned car data received by the assigned car data receiving unit 4043 in the “call registration application” on the portable terminal via the recognition device 700, to the information terminal. It is displayed on the screen of the device 400.

  S607: After the “call registration application” is activated, if the destination floor call registered or registered is different from the destination floor desired by the user, the desired destination floor is selected by operating the information terminal device. The information about the selected destination floor is based on the information about the selected destination floor of the user after the user has arrived near the elevator hall, that is, after the communication between the second communication unit 402 and the recognition device 700 is established. After making an announcement for registering the destination floor information (voice announcement, displaying the destination floor characters to be registered in highlighted color, etc.), at least the destination floor information is transmitted to the control device 100 using the second communication unit 402.

  S608: Before the user selects a destination floor in S607, it is determined whether or not the “call registration app” is transmitting information related to the destination floor to the control device 100. If not, the process proceeds to S605.

S609: Before the user selects a destination floor in S607, the assignment of information regarding the destination floor from the “call registration application” transmitted to the control device 100 is canceled, and the process proceeds to S605.
S610: After displaying the assigned car for a predetermined time, the operation history information, for example, information on at least the destination floor transmitted using the second communication unit is stored and registered in the memory in the information terminal device 400. Exit the “call registration application”.

  The activation of the application is after authentication by the command device 500. For example, on the floor where the command device 500 is not installed, for example, on the general floor where the entrance to the building can already be confirmed, the “call registration” of the user, etc. A keyword that can be associated with “call registration app” is input by voice, or a method of starting by selecting “call registration app” from a selection screen may be used.

  FIG. 7 is an example of a screen of the information terminal device 400 when the “call registration application” is activated in the destination floor change disapproval mode. (A) is an example of the screen after a call communication process is started. (B) is an example of a screen after the user enters the communicable area A1 of the recognition apparatus 700 and the destination floor call data is registered. (C) is an example of a screen after receiving the assigned car data, and displays on the screen a message prompting to wait near the assigned car. As shown in the figure, in the destination floor change non-permission mode, the initially set destination floor is automatically registered and the assigned car is displayed.

  FIG. 8 is an example of a screen of the information terminal device 400 when the “call registration application” is activated in the destination floor change permission mode. (A) is an example of the screen after a call communication process is started. As shown in the figure, the default destination floor is automatically registered. (B) is an example of a screen after the user enters the communicable area A1 of the recognition apparatus 700 and the destination floor call data is registered. (C) is an example of a screen after receiving the assigned car data, and displays on the screen a message prompting to wait near the assigned car. 6 (a) to (c) is different from FIG. 6 in that “call registration application” is activated in the destination floor change permission mode, and therefore there are change buttons in (a) and (b). (D) is an example of a screen when the change button is operated in (a) or (b). As shown in the figure, the frequently used destination floor set by the user is displayed by learning the operation history of the user or by the initial setting of the “call registration application”. (E) and (f) are examples of screens when the “other” button is operated in (d). As shown in the figure, a list of destination floors that can be registered by the user is displayed from the initial setting information of the user. Here, the screen after the call communication process is started is shown as (a), but it may be set as (d) so that a destination floor that can be registered from the beginning can be selected. If the destination floor is changed from the information terminal device 400 after the elevator group management device 100 determines the assigned car for the destination floor call information transmitted from the information terminal device 400, the control device 100 is registered first. Cancels assignment for destination floor call.

  FIG. 9 is an example of an initial setting screen of “call registration application”. (A) is an example of the authentication screen for initial setting. Enter the ID and password issued in advance by the building administrator. After the input, the user / terminal information database 406 is accessed, and a destination floor that can be registered by the user corresponding to the issued ID is acquired. (B) is an example of a screen for registering frequently used destination floors. In the example of the figure, the maximum is three, but the number is not limited to three. (C) is an example of a screen for selecting performance to be emphasized when using an elevator. As shown in the figure, it is possible to select the performance desired by the user, such as emphasizing boarding time and energy saving. In addition, since the user is authenticated by the ID and password in (a), for example, a VIP user dispatches a car with a low congestion level without selecting the congestion level in (c). It is possible to do. Further, the important performance set in (c) is transmitted to the control device 100 when the call data transmission unit 4042 transmits information on the destination floor (not shown).

By installing the recognition device 700 in the vicinity of the elevator hall, passengers who do not come near the elevator hall, that is, passengers who do not use the elevator are not registered with the destination floor call, so the assigned passengers do not get on, and the stop floor is wasted. The situation where the number of people increases can be prevented.
In addition, by making it possible to change the destination floor from the information terminal device 400, it is possible to improve the convenience of the user, and it becomes impossible to change the destination floor at the time of congestion, so that It is possible to avoid congestion in the elevator hall.

  Next, an example will be described in which a user can select himself / herself from allocation car candidates using an information terminal device.

FIG. 10 is an overall configuration diagram of the elevator system, and the recognition device 700 is configured to determine the traffic demand, that is, a determination result by a determination processing unit (not shown) that determines whether the traffic situation of the user is congested or undisturbed. Alternatively, the destination floor change permission signal is transmitted to the instruction device 500 when it is crowded and the destination floor change permission signal when it is not busy as a signal indicating whether or not the destination floor can be changed.
In addition, as a signal indicating whether or not the assigned car can be manually selected, a manual selection non-permission signal is transmitted to the instruction device 500 when it is congested, and a manual selection permission signal is transmitted when it is quiet.

  The assigned car candidate data acquisition unit 4045 obtains a plurality of assigned car candidates for one destination floor call data transmitted by the call data transmitting unit 4042 from the control device 100. The assigned car data transmission unit 4046 sends one assigned car data selected by the user's operation from the plurality of assigned car candidate data displayed on the screen of the information terminal device 400 via the second communication unit 402. And transmitted from the recognition device 700 to the control device 100.

  The call process activation unit 403 receives the call process activation permission signal from the call process activation permission signal generation unit 501, the signal indicating whether the destination can be changed and the signal indicating whether the car can be manually selected from the recognition device 700, and then performs call communication. The processing unit 404 is activated. At this time, if the destination change permission / inhibition signal and the car manual selection signal are permission signals, the signal is activated in the permission mode, and if the signal is not permitted, the signal is activated in the non-permission mode.

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the basic operation when the information terminal device goes to a predetermined destination floor after authentication by the commanding device. In addition, in FIG. 11, description regarding the change of the destination floor is omitted.

S1101: On the information terminal device, a “call registration application” that has already been downloaded and the application initial setting has been started is activated.
S1102: Since the authentication work has been completed, based on the application screen definition information (not shown) stored in the memory in the information terminal device, for example, the destination floor information set in the application initial setting or the past history information is used. App screens that are most suitable for the user are generated, including frequently used destination floor information. The screen definition information is information that can be easily edited by the user because it can be displayed on the screen according to the preference and characteristics of the user.

  S1103: When the “call registration application” is activated in the non-permission mode, the process proceeds to S1104, and when activated in the permission mode, the process proceeds to S1106.

S104: When the user arrives near the elevator hall, that is, when communication between the second communication unit 402 and the recognition device 700 is established, the destination floor information or when there is a plan to go to a different destination floor After making an announcement to register the destination floor information selected by the user (voice announcement, displaying the selected destination floor characters in highlighted color, etc.), at least information about the destination floor using the second communication unit It transmits to the control apparatus 100.
S1105: The optimal allocation car is determined in the control device 100, and an allocation signal is transmitted to the assigned car number controller (any one of 201 to 20k).

Next, a case where the “call registration application” is activated in the permission mode, that is, the manual selection of the car is permitted will be described using steps S1106 to S1109.
S1106: When the user arrives in the vicinity of the elevator hall, that is, when communication between the second communication unit 402 and the recognition device 700 is established, there is a plan to go to the destination floor information or the destination floor different from the normal destination floor. After making an announcement that the destination floor information selected by the user at that time is registered, at least the destination floor and the car manual selection method information are transmitted to the control device 100 using the second communication unit.

  S1107: The control device 100 receives information on the car candidates in the group via the recognition device 700 at the assigned car candidate data receiving unit in the “call registration application” on the portable information terminal 400, and the screen display unit 4044. To display the candidate list of assigned cars.

  S1108: After an announcement (speech announcement, display of selected car in highlighted color, etc.) is made that the selected car candidate is assigned when the user selects a favorite car from the car candidate list within a predetermined time. The assigned car data transmission unit 4046 transmits at least car candidate information to the control device 100 using the second communication unit.

  S1109: The selected car candidate received by the control device 100 is determined as an assigned car, and an assignment signal is transmitted to the assigned car number controller (any of 201 to 20k).

  S1110: Furthermore, the control device 100 displays the assigned car using the screen display unit 4044, using the assigned car data received by the assigned car data receiving unit 4043 in the call registration application on the portable information terminal via the transmission / reception means. To do.

  S1111: After displaying the assigned machine for a predetermined time, the application history information, for example, at least the destination floor information transmitted using the second communication unit, is stored and registered in the memory in the information terminal device 400, and the application Is automatically terminated.

  The application is started after the authentication by the commanding device 500. For example, on the floor where the commanding device 500 is not installed, for example, the general floor where the entrance to the building has already been confirmed, the “call registration” The keyword that can be associated with this application such as “” is input by voice, or the “call registration application” is selected and activated from the selection screen.

  In addition, a decision processing unit (not shown) that determines whether the car is automatically selected or manually selected is when it is congested or quiet. It may be possible.

  Furthermore, for example, on the entrance floor where a plurality of instruction devices 500 are installed, only a part of the instruction devices may be allowed to register the destination floor and change the assigned car. Especially in office hours, etc., since most people go to the normal destination floor, if the destination floor changer and the user who selects the car manually and the user who selects automatically are performed with the same command device, There is a possibility that the user may stay in front of the command device, and a configuration that increases the number of command devices for automatic selection can be easily realized for the purpose of promoting smooth use without causing the user to stay in the elevator hall.

  FIG. 12 is an example of a screen of the information terminal device 400 when the “call registration application” is activated in the permission mode. As shown in the figure, items and their values that serve as criteria for selecting the elevator that the user wants to ride, such as waiting time, boarding time, degree of congestion, distance to the car, energy consumption, as well as candidate car Is displayed. The user may select an assigned car that suits his / her preference.

  Furthermore, by installing a recognition device in the vicinity of the elevator hall, passengers who do not come near the elevator hall, that is, passengers who do not use the elevator, are not registered on the destination floor, so the assigned passenger does not get on and stops uselessly. The situation where the number of floors increases can be prevented.

  Furthermore, by enabling the change of the destination floor and the selection of the assigned car from the information terminal device 400, the user can improve convenience such as selecting a favorite car according to the situation at that time, By making it impossible to change the destination floor and select the assigned car during times of congestion, it is possible to avoid congestion of the elevator hall during up-peak hours.
