  The storage unit 31 is a storage device that stores an image received from the reference floor camera 14, an image received from the car camera 24, programs, tasks, data, and the like necessary for information processing of the operation control device 30. The storage unit 31 stores at least the user identified by the analysis unit 32 and the identified user's getting-off floor as user data. The user data is stored in association with the image (face image) of the user's face area using the elevator 100 from the reference floor and the getting-off floor. The face image includes feature information for identifying the user. Note that the user data stored in the storage unit 31 may be deleted if the data is not referred to or updated within a certain period. Thus, since user data with low usage frequency is deleted, the capacity of the storage area for storing user data can be reduced.

The analysis unit 32 identifies the getting-off floors identification and identified user for the user in the car 110 captured by the in-car camera 24, the standard floor landing 200 ₁ of the user who utilizes the elevator 100 A function of associating the face image with the alighting floor and storing it in the storage unit as user data (alighting floor specifying part), and a function for identifying a user in the car 110 captured by the car camera 24 (in-car use) person identification unit), a program and a function of performing identification of the imaged reference floor landing 200 ₁ of the user by a standard floor camera 14 (standard floor user identification section), and a task. The analysis unit 32 constitutes a part of the control device 160. Here, the control device 160 is functionally conceptually configured to include an alighting floor specifying unit, an in-car user identification unit, a reference floor user identification unit, an operation control device 30, and the like.

The getting-off floor identifying unit identifies the user in the car 110 imaged by the in-car camera 24, identifies the getting-off floor of the identified user, and stores the user and the getting-off floor in association with each other as user data. It is a program or task having a function to perform. Specifically, the getting-off floor specifying unit captures an image captured by the in-car camera 24 at the time of landing of the car 110 and from a subject reflected in an image stored in the storage unit 31 (an image in the car at the time of landing). A person's face area is identified, and the face image is stored in the storage unit 31 as user data at the time of landing. And when the car-side door 111 of the car 110 is closed, the getting-off floor specifying part is shown in an image (car image at the time of departure) that is captured by the car camera 24 and stored in the storage unit 31. The face area of the person is identified from the subject, and the face image is stored in the storage unit 31 as user data at the time of departure. The alighting floor specifying unit extracts a difference based on the landing when user data and departure time user data, a user of the standard floor landing 200 _1, the landing time of user data Face images that are included but are not included in the departure-time user data are identified as passengers on the landing floor. The getting-off floor specifying unit associates the face image of the user and the getting-off floor specified in this way and stores them in the storage unit 31 as user data. Such alighting floor specifying unit, in a startup of the elevator system 1, as is activated when the car 110 departs from the reference floor landing 200 _1, is controlled by the control unit 33.

  The in-car user identification unit is always activated during the activation of the elevator system 1, identifies the user in the car 110 imaged by the in-car camera 24, and based on the user data in the storage unit 31, It is a program and a task having a function of acquiring a getting-off floor associated with the user. More specifically, the in-car user identifying unit identifies a face area of a person from a subject in an image in the car stored in the storage unit 31 and sets it as a face image. Then, the in-car user identification unit determines whether or not a face image whose feature information matches the identified face image exists in the user data of the storage unit 31. Then, when the car user identification unit determines that a face image whose feature information matches the identified face image exists in the user data, that is, the user is already stored in the storage unit 31 as user data. If so, the in-car user identification unit obtains the getting-off floor associated with the face image (user) from the user data, and obtains the getting-off floor of the user. This in-car user identification unit is executed for each face image identified as a person's face area from the subject in the in-car image, that is, for each user in the car 110. When each user in the car 110 is stored in the user data in the storage unit 31, the getting-off floor is specified by the in-car user identification unit.

Standard floors user identification unit, of the running are always active elevator system 1 identifies the standard floor landing 200 ₁ of the user captured by the standard floor camera 14, based on the user data in the storage unit 31 Thus, the program and the task have a function of identifying the getting-off floor associated with the user. Specifically, the reference floor user identification unit identifies a person's face area from the subject shown in the reference floor landing image stored in the storage unit 31 and sets it as a face image. Then, it is determined whether or not a face image whose feature information matches the identified face image exists in the user data of the storage unit 31. When the reference floor user identification unit determines that there is a face image whose feature information matches the identified face image, that is, when the user is already stored in the storage unit 31, the reference floor use is performed. The person identification unit obtains the getting-off floor associated with the face image (user) from the user data. The standard floor user identification unit, the face image from an object that is reflected in the reference floor landing image identified as a face area of a person, i.e., is performed for each user of the standard floor landing 200 _1. The standard floor user identification unit, the user of the standard floor landing 200 _1, when stored in the user data storage unit 31, alighting floor is identified.

The control unit 33 has a special operation control unit as a control program for performing special operation control of the elevator 100. Special operation control unit, the first reference floor landing 200 _1, the call registration is called Been registered user of the car 110, when a user associated with getting-off floors, the elevator 100 in response to the call registration A function (reference floor call special operation control unit) that performs control to ignore the destination floor registration of the car 110 corresponding to the landing floor of the car 110 between the getting-off floor and the reference floor that are associated with each other; The call special operation control section has a program and a task that has a function (car call special operation control section) that responds to the destination floor registration except for the ignored destination floor registration and then responds to the ignored destination floor registration. doing. The control unit 33 constitutes a part of the control device 160. Here, the control device 160 includes a reference floor call special operation control unit, a car call special operation control unit, an operation control device 30 and the like in terms of functional concept.

  The reference floor call special operation control unit, when the call registration user is a user identified by the reference floor user identification unit and the associated getting-off floor is specified, the getting-off floor and the reference floor The destination floor registration of the car 110 corresponding to the landing floor of the car 110 between is ignored. Specifically, for example, the reference floor call special operation control unit, when the call registration user is associated with the getting-off floor “7th floor”, the car call button 23 from “2nd floor” to “6th floor”. Even if is pressed, the destination floor registration of the corresponding car 110 is ignored and a destination floor registration signal is transmitted to the hoisting machine 140, or the car call button 23 corresponding to "2nd floor" to "6th floor" A control signal for restricting the pressing of is transmitted via the operation guidance control device 40.

Also, standard floor call special operation control unit, among the standard floor landing 200 ₁ of the identified user, the getting-off floors associated with the user, except the call registration user, corresponds to the call registration user alighting When it is the landing floor of the car 110 between the floor and the reference floor, a call registration signal for responding the car 110 different from the car 110 of the elevator 100 that performs the special operation control is transmitted to the hoisting machine 140. . Specifically, for example, when the call registration user is associated with the getting-off floor “7th floor”, the reference floor call special operation control unit, between “7th floor” and the reference floor “1st floor”, That is, when there is a user who is associated with the second floor to the sixth floor as the getting-off floor, the hoisting machine is caused to respond with another car 110 different from the car 110 responding to the call registration. A call registration signal is transmitted to 140.

  Specifically, the car call special operation control unit, for example, when the call registration user is associated with the “seventh floor” as the getting-off floor, the destination floor of the “seventh floor” and “the higher registered floors” After responding to the registration, a destination floor registration signal responding to the destination floor registration from “2nd floor” to “6th floor” is transmitted to the hoisting machine 140.

  The operation guidance control device 40 performs notification of operation guidance. The operation guidance control device 40 controls the reference floor speaker 12 and the car speaker 22 to perform voice guidance for guiding call registration and destination floor registration according to special operation control. In addition, the operation guidance control device 40 controls the reference floor display device 11 and the car display device 21, and guides call registration and destination floor registration according to special operation control, or displays operation information. . Such an operation guidance control device 40 transmits / receives the generation status of the call registration signal and the destination floor registration signal with the operation control device 30 as described above.

The elevator system 1 according to this embodiment is configured as described above, and the operation thereof will be described below. 4-7 is a figure which shows the operation | movement flow of the elevator system 1 which concerns on this embodiment. When operating the elevator 100, the elevator system 1 has been started, the reference floor camera 14 of standard floor landing 200 ₁ is operating. Standard floors camera 14 images the standard floor landing 200 ₁ of the user, the standard floor landing images captured in the storage unit 31 of the operation controller 30 via the camera control unit. Similarly, the in-car camera 24 in the car 110 is operating. The in-car camera 24 images a user in the car 110 and stores the captured in-car image in the storage unit 31 via the camera control unit.

First, an outline of a processing procedure for generating user data by associating a user from a reference floor with a getting-off floor in the elevator system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure in the getting-off floor specifying unit. Alighting floor specifying unit, in a startup of the elevator system 1, as is activated when the car 110 departs from the reference floor landing 200 _1, is controlled by the control unit 33. The getting-off floor specifying unit identifies the face image of the person in the car image at the time of departure from the reference floor (step S11). Specifically, in the standard floor landing 200 _1, when the car-side door 111 is closed due to car-side door detector (not shown) is detected, alighting floor specifying unit stored in the storage unit 31 Based on the latest in-car image (the in-car image at the time of departure from the reference floor), the face area of the person is identified from the subject reflected in the in-car image at the time of departure from the reference floor. The getting-off floor specifying unit stores the identified face image in the storage unit 31 as user data at the time of departure from the reference floor (step S12).

Then, the getting-off floor specifying unit always determines whether or not the car 110 has _landed at the landings ₂₀₀₂ to _n (step S13). Specifically, the getting-off floor specifying unit constantly monitors whether or not the car 110 is detected to have _{landed at} a predetermined landing position in the landings _{2002 to n} by an unillustrated landing detector or the like. When it is not detected by the landing detector that the user has landed at the landing position (in the case of “No”), the getting-off floor specifying unit continues monitoring. When it is detected by the landing detector that the vehicle has landed at the landing position (in the case of “Yes”), the getting-off floor specifying unit displays the latest in-car image (when landing) stored in the storage unit 31. The face image of the person in the car) is identified (step S14). Specifically, the getting-off floor specifying unit identifies a face area of a person from a subject shown in the in-car image based on the in-car image at the time of landing and sets it as a face image. And alighting floor specific part memorize | stores the identified face image in the memory | storage part 31 as user data at the time of landing (step S15).

And alighting floor specific part always determines whether the car side door 111 of the car 110 was closed (step S16). Specifically, the getting-off floor specifying unit determines whether or not the car-side door 111 has been closed by the car-side door opening / closing detector (not shown) after the user's boarding / _{exiting at} the landings _{2002 to n} is completed. Always monitor. If the car-side door opening / closing detector does not detect that the car-side door 111 is closed (in the case of “No”), the monitoring is continued. When the car-side door opening / closing detector detects that the car-side door 111 is closed (in the case of “Yes”), the getting-off floor identifying unit identifies the face image of the person in the car image at the time of departure ( Step S17). Specifically, the getting-off floor specifying unit is configured to detect a person from a subject reflected in the in-car image at the time of departure based on the latest in-car image (the in-car image at the time of departure) stored in the storage unit 31. A face area is identified and used as a face image. Then, the getting-off floor specifying unit stores the identified face image in the storage unit 31 as departure-time user data (step S18).

  Then, the getting-off floor specifying unit identifies the person getting off the landing floor (step S19). Specifically, the getting-off floor specifying unit extracts a difference based on the reference floor departure user data, the landing user data, and the departure user data stored in the storage unit 31, Uses facial images from the reference floor that are included in the user data at the time of departure from the floor and that are included in the user data at landing but are not included in the user data at departure. Identify the person getting off this landing floor. Thereby, the getting-off floor specifying unit can associate the face image (user) with the getting-off floor.

  And alighting floor specific part determines whether the data of the same person exist in user data (step S20). Specifically, the getting-off floor specifying unit is the same based on the feature information of the face image identified in step S19 and the feature information of the face image included in the user data stored in the storage unit 31. It is determined whether or not a human face image exists in the user data. When the same person does not exist in the user data (in the case of “No”), the getting-off floor specifying unit associates the face image with the getting-off floor and stores (registers) it in the storage unit 31 as new user data ( Step S21). When the same person exists in the user data (in the case of “Yes”), the getting-off floor specifying unit further determines whether or not the same combination of the face image and the getting-off floor exists in the user data. (Step S22).

  When it is determined that the same combination of the face image and the getting-off floor exists in the user data (in the case of “Yes”), the process returns to step S13 and the process is performed until the moving direction of the car 110 is switched from rising to falling. repeat. When it is determined that the same combination of the face image and the getting-off floor does not exist in the user data, that is, when the combination of the face image and the getting-off floor is different (in the case of “No”), the getting-off floor specifying unit Stores (updates) the combination of the new face image and the getting-off floor as user data in the storage unit 31 (step S23).

  Then, the processing from step S13 to step S23 is repeated until the moving direction of the car 110 is switched from rising to falling, that is, while the car 110 is rising from the reference floor.

  In this way, the user in the car 110 who has boarded from the reference floor, the getting-off floor is specified by the getting-off floor specifying unit, the face image and the getting-off floor are associated with each other, and the storage unit 31 is stored as user data. Remember me.

Then, in the elevator system 1 according to this embodiment, to identify the standard floor landing 200 ₁ of the user, it will be outlined in the procedure for obtaining the getting-off floors. When the elevator system 1 is activated and the reference floor user identification unit of the analysis unit 32 is activated, the reference floor user identification unit identifies the user, and the user has already stored the user data in the storage unit 31. It is determined whether it is stored as. When the reference floor user identification unit determines that the user is already stored in the storage unit 31, the reference floor user identification unit acquires the getting-off floor associated with the user from the user data. In this way, the standard floor user identification unit, standard floor landing 200 ₁ of the user is identified, the getting-off floors are obtained if stored in the user data storage unit 31.

Then, an elevator system 1 according to this embodiment, when the user in the car 110 in the standard floor landing 200 ₁ has riding, to identify the user in the car 110, outline of the processing procedure for obtaining the getting-off floors Will be described. When the elevator system 1 is activated and the reference floor user identification unit of the analysis unit 32 is activated, the in-car user identification unit identifies the user, and the user already stores the user data in the storage unit 31. It is determined whether it is stored as. And when it determines with the said user having already been memorize | stored in the memory | storage part 31, the user identification part in a car acquires the alighting floor linked | related with the said user from user data. In this way, when the user in the car 110 is stored in the user data of the storage unit 31, the getting-off floor is acquired by the in-car user identification unit.

Subsequently, the standard floor landing 200 _1, user when the user presses a standard floor call button 13, it will be described briefly in the processing procedure of the elevator system 1 according to this embodiment. When the user presses the reference floor call button 13, the reference floor call button 13 transmits a call registration signal to the control unit 33 of the operation control device 30. When the control unit 33 receives the call registration signal, the control unit 33 performs processing according to the flow shown in FIGS.

As shown in FIG. 5, the control unit 33 constantly monitors whether or not the reference floor call button 13 has been pressed by the user, that is, whether or not the control unit 33 has received a call registration signal (step S31). S31). When the control unit 33 determines that the reference floor call button 13 is not pressed by the user (in the case of “No”), the control unit 33 continues monitoring. Control unit 33, if it is determined that the standard floor call button 13 is pressed by the call registration user (in the case of "Yes"), the control unit 33, the reference floor landing 200 ₁ of the user, the call registration user It is determined whether or not there are users with different floors (step S32). Specifically, if it is determined that the reference floor call button 13 has been pressed, the reference floor call button 13 is moved from the subject in the image based on the latest reference floor landing image stored in the storage unit 31. The face area of the person being pressed is identified. Then, the control unit 33 is associated with the call registration user based on the feature information of the identified face image and the feature information of the face image included in the user data stored in the storage unit 31. Get the getting-off floor. The control unit 33 determines whether there is an exit floor associated with the call registration user and another user associated with a different exit floor by the reference floor user identification unit. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the getting-off floor associated with the call registration user is “seventh floor”, there is a user with the getting-off floor associated with “other than the seventh floor”. Therefore, in step S32, the control unit 33 determines that there is a user whose calling registration user and the getting-off floor are different ("Yes").

  When the control unit 33 determines that there is no user whose calling floor is different from the call registration user (in the case of “No”), the control unit 33 winds up a control signal for performing normal operation control of the elevator 100. Is transmitted to the machine 140 (step S33), and the process proceeds to step S35.

  If the control unit 33 determines that there is a user whose departure floor is different from the call registration user (in the case of “Yes”), the control unit 33 next activates the reference floor call special operation control unit (step S34).

  The reference floor call special operation control unit performs processing according to the flow shown in FIG. Specifically, the reference floor call special operation control unit sets the call registration user's getting-off floor as a priority stop floor, and sends a call registration signal for dispatching the car 110 via the control unit 33 to the hoisting machine. 140 (step S41). The priority stop floor is a call registration user's exit floor, and is a landing floor where the car 110 stops first. That is, the car 110 set with the priority stop floor performs a direct operation from the reference floor to the priority stop floor, and thereafter responds to the destination floor registration above the priority stop floor. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the call registration user is associated with “7th floor” as the getting-off floor, “7th floor” is set as the priority stop floor, and the hoisting machine 140 A call registration signal is transmitted to. When receiving the call registration signal, the hoisting machine 140 causes the car 110 (No. A) to respond to the call registration.

The standard floor call special operation control unit, for guiding a priority stop floor to the reference floor landing 200 _1, transmits a control signal to the reference floor display device 11 and a standard floor loudspeaker 12 via the operation guidance control device 40 (Step S42). Thus, the standard floor display device 11 and the reference floor loudspeaker 12, "car A that preferentially stopped on the 7th floor or floors are dispatched" that is guided to the reference floor landing 200 ₁ near the user.

The standard floor call special operation control unit, the standard floors user identification of criteria floor landing 200 ₁ identified by unit user (determining whether there are floors of the user's lower than the priority service floor S43). That is, the reference floor call special operation control unit, for the user of criteria other than registered users call floor landing 200 _1, alighting floor associated with the user, the user of the floor below the priority service floor is Determine if it exists. When the reference floor call special operation control unit determines that there is no corresponding user (in the case of “No”), the process ends.

  When the reference floor call special operation control unit determines that there is a corresponding user (in the case of “Yes”), the reference floor call special operation control unit is used by a user on a floor below the priority stop floor. A call registration signal for dispatching another car 110 (No. B) is transmitted to the hoisting machine 140 via the control unit 33 (step S44). Thus, the reference floor call special operation control unit makes the car 110 (No. B) different from the car 110 (No. A) performing the special operation control. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, when the call registration user is associated with “7th floor” as the getting-off floor, “2nd floor” to “6th floor” are associated with the getting-off floor. Since there is a user, the call registration signal is transmitted to the hoisting machine 140 in order to make the car 110 (No. B) respond. In this case, when receiving the call registration signal, the hoisting machine 140 causes the car 110 (No. B) to respond.

The standard floor call special operation control unit, for guiding the fact that dispatching the car 110 (B Unit) to stop the floors other than the priority service floor to the reference floor landing 200 _1, through the operation guidance control unit 40 reference A control signal is transmitted to the floor display device 11 and the reference floor speaker 12 (step S45). Thus, the standard floor display device 11 and the reference floor loudspeaker 12, is guided to the user "B Unit is to be dispatched to stop below 6F" standard floor landing 200 ₁ around that, standard floor call special operation The process of the control unit is terminated.

In this way, the cage 110 (A Unit) is the door opening is dispatched to the reference floor landing 200 _1. A user associated with the seventh floor and above gets into the car 110 (No. A). In addition, other users associated with floors below the seventh floor board the car 110 (No. B) that arrives second.

  When the reference floor call special operation control unit ends, the control unit 33 activates the car call special operation control unit (step S35).

  The car call special operation control unit performs processing in accordance with the flow shown in FIG. Specifically, the car call special operation control unit constantly monitors whether or not the car call button 23 is pressed by the user (step S51). When the car call special operation control unit determines that the car call button 23 is not pressed by the user (in the case of “No”), the car call special operation control unit continues monitoring.

  Here, when the user gets into the car 110 (No. A) and presses the car call button 23, the car call button 23 transmits a destination floor registration signal to the control unit 33 of the operation control device 30.

  When the car call special operation control unit determines that the car call button 23 is pressed by the user (in the case of “Yes”), the car call special operation control unit sets the car 110 (No. A) for the user. After responding to the destination floor registration except for the ignored destination floor registration in the pressed car call button 23, a destination floor registration signal is transmitted to the hoisting machine 140 in order to respond to the ignored destination floor registration. Specifically, for example, after the car 110 (No. A) responds to the destination floor registration of the priority stop floor “7th floor” or higher, “2nd floor” to “6th floor” below the priority stop floor “7th floor”. The car call special operation control unit transmits a destination floor registration signal to the hoisting machine 140 so as to respond to the destination floor registration up to.

  Specifically, the car call special operation control unit determines whether or not the car call button 23 on the floor below the priority stop floor has been pressed (step S52). When the car call special operation control unit determines that the car call button 23 on the floor below the priority stop floor has not been pressed (in the case of “No”), the process ends. When the car call special operation control unit determines that the car call button 23 on the floor below the priority stop floor is pressed (in the case of “Yes”), the car call special operation control unit responds to the priority stop floor. In order to notify the effect, a control signal is transmitted to the car display device 21 and the car speaker 22 via the operation guidance control device 40 (step S53). As a result, the car display device 21 and the car speaker 22 are informed to the user that “priority stop will be given to floors above the seventh floor”.

  Then, the car call special operation control unit determines whether or not the response of the destination floor registration of the priority stop floor and the floor above the priority stop floor has been completed (step S54). If the car call special operation control unit determines that the destination floor registration response of the priority stop floor and the floor above the priority stop floor has not been completed (in the case of “No”), the car call special operation control unit stands by. If the car call special operation control unit determines that the destination floor registration response for the priority stop floor and the floor above the priority stop floor has been completed (in the case of “Yes”), the car call special operation control unit has priority. In order to respond to destination floor registration below the stop floor, a destination floor registration signal is transmitted to the hoisting machine 140 (step S55).

In this manner, the first car 110 is dispatched with the disembarkation floor associated with the call registration user who first registered the car 110 with the elevator 100 as the priority stop floor. In the first car 110, the destination floor registration of the car 110 corresponding to the landing floor of the car 110 between the priority stop floor and the reference floor is ignored. The first car 110 responds to the destination floor registration below the priority stop floor when the response of the destination floor registration above the priority stop floor is completed. Further, the reference floor landing 200 _1, when the lower floor than the priority service floor the user associated're a getting-off floors, second unit of the car 110 that is different from the first unit of the car 110 is dispatched The

As described above, in the elevator system 1 according to the present embodiment, the first car 110 is dispatched with the getting-off floor associated as the call-registering user's getting-off floor being the priority stop floor. The first car 110 gives priority to the call registration user who performed the call registration first, so that the first car 110 can perform a direct operation with the stop floor associated with the call registration user as the priority stop floor. Can be used more comfortably and comfortably. At this time, the reference floor user identification unit determines that the disembarkation floor (destination floor) associated with the user is in accordance with the disembarkation floor before the user gets into the car 110 and the destination floor registration is performed. 110 can be dispatched. In this way, the first to call call was registered registered users with a standard floor landing 200 _1, it is possible to arrive at the drop-off floor without going through the middle floor, possible to shorten the time to get off from the ride Can do.

  Moreover, it is as convenient and comfortable as a call registered user for a user associated with a getting-off floor above the priority stop floor of the first car 110. Furthermore, since the second car 110 is dispatched to the user associated with the getting-off floor below the priority stop floor, convenience is not impaired. Thus, by allocating the car 110 by the elevator system 1 according to this embodiment, it is more convenient and more comfortable for more users of the elevator 100.

  Moreover, the getting-off floor specifying unit identifies the user in the car 110 based on the in-car image captured by the in-car camera 24, specifies the user's getting-off floor, and identifies the user and the getting-off floor. It is stored in association with user data. For this reason, a user and an alighting floor can be linked | related and memorize | stored as user data, without burdening a user.

  Moreover, the elevator system 1 in this embodiment is the floor below the priority stop floor when the other floor car 110 used by the user below the priority stop floor is dispatched in the reference floor call special operation control unit. May be grouped, and a priority stop floor of another car 110 may be determined and dispatched.

For example, a standard floor landing 200 ₁ of the user, the floors of the user below the priority stop floor, grouped in getting-off floors, so people can then dispatch the getting-off floors of the largest group as the preferred service floor May be. Specifically, standard floor landing 200 ₁ of the user, the case shown in FIG. Here, the getting-off floor associated with the user is divided into a high floor, a middle floor, and a low floor. The getting-off floor associated with the call registration user is a higher floor. Regarding the distribution of the number of persons getting off the floors other than the call registration users, the upper floor has 5 persons, the middle floor has 3 persons, and the lower floor has 1 person. The upper floor with the largest number of people overlaps with the upper floor, which is the priority stop floor of the first car 110 (Unit A), so the second floor car 110 has the second highest middle floor as the priority stop floor. A call registration signal is transmitted to the hoisting machine 140 so as to dispatch (No. B). In this way, by dispatching the second car 110, the car 110 can be preferentially dispatched to the getting-off floor where many users are associated, so that the user can be transported efficiently. Can do.

  The elevator system 1 according to the present embodiment is a user who is determined not to be stored in the user data in the storage unit 31 in the reference floor user identification unit or the in-car user identification unit of the analysis unit 32. However, for example, they are talking to users stored in the user data, wearing the same uniform, possessing or wearing items with the same company name or company emblem In this case, it may be determined that the user is accompanied by the user stored in the user data, and the same getting-off floor may be estimated.

  Furthermore, the elevator system 1 according to the present embodiment is a time zone in which the user concentrates, for example, when it is applied to the elevator 100 of an office building, the time before and after the weekday morning and evening hours, and the lunch time zone. For example, it may be executed in a predetermined time zone.
