It is a flowchart explaining the display operation | movement in the display system of the elevator which concerns on this embodiment. It is explanatory drawing which shows the example of a pattern of the display content for every elevator driving time and user attribute in the display system of the elevator which concerns on this embodiment.

  An elevator display system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The description of FIGS. 1 to 4 is as described in the brief description column of the above drawings.

  In the drawings, 1 is an elevator control panel, 2 is an electric motor, 3 is a counterweight, 4 is a wire rope, 5 is a car, 6 is a car content selection unit, 7 is a car content storage unit, and 8 is a car display device. , 9 is a hoistway, 11 is an input / output device, 12 is a control device, 13 is a display command unit, 14 is a storage device, 15 is a display content table, 16 is a user type setting unit, 17 is a travel time calculation unit, and 18 is A content selection unit, 19 is a content display time calculation unit, and 20 is a monitoring device.

  In FIG. 1, an elevator generally includes an elevator control panel 1 in which an elevator control device that performs elevator control including control of an electric motor 2 is installed, and a car 5 disposed in a hoistway 9 provided in a building, And a counterweight 3. Here, the car 5 and the counterweight 3 are attached to both ends of a plurality of wire ropes 4 wound around a sheave that rotates in synchronization with the electric motor 2 in a fishing bottle manner.

  Further, the elevator control panel 1 controls forward and reverse rotation of the electric motor 2, lifts and lowers the car 5 and the counterweight 3 via the wire rope 4, and transports passengers who have entered the car 5.

  In addition, the display content stored in the car content storage unit 7 installed in the elevator car 5 (display content itself such as news and alert items (notices)) is installed in the elevator car 5. The content is selected by the in-car content selection unit 6 (based on a control instruction from the content selection unit 18 in the monitoring device 20 to be described later) and displayed on the in-car display device 8 installed in the elevator car 5.

  The monitoring device 20 detects an abnormal state of the equipment as an original basic function, and reports the abnormality to a monitoring center (not shown) connected remotely via a communication line. 1 is provided with an elevator monitoring function shown in FIG.

  That is, the monitoring device 20 detects an input / output device 11 that inputs / outputs a signal to / from the equipment and a change in the input signal of the input / output device 11, and controls the monitoring device 20 with a predetermined program installed therein. A display content table 15 that stores a user attribute that is set in advance for each building and uses the building, and that sets a time for reading the display content for each user attribute. And a display command unit 13 that instructs the in-car display device 8 installed in the elevator car 5 to display content.

  Here, the user attribute represents, for example, the type of a user who uses an elevator in a building such as an office building, a condominium, or a hospital. Taking an office building as an example, the user who uses the building is mostly an adult. Taking an apartment as an example, there is a user attribute (see FIG. 2) that the user covers a wide range of age groups, and taking the hospital as an example, the user has many elderly people.

  The monitoring device 20 further includes a user type (attribute) setting unit 16 that sets a user attribute that is set in advance for each building and uses the building, call registration and destination floor setting information of the elevator user, the input / output device 11 and the control. A travel time calculation unit 17 that is obtained from the elevator control panel 1 via the device 12 and calculates the travel time, and a content selection unit 18 that appropriately selects display content that matches the travel time calculated by the travel time calculation unit 17. And a content display time calculation unit 19 that calculates a time required for content display from the display time of the content selected by the content selection unit 18 and the travel time calculated by the travel time calculation unit 17.

  Next, in FIG. 2, the time for reading the display content is set in advance for each user attribute (eg, an attribute of a user who uses a building such as an office building, a condominium, or a hospital). The reading completion time is information indicating the time required for the user to read the display content, and is different for each user attribute. The setting data stores the display content type, the content name, and the reading completion time for each user attribute for each user attribute.

  For example, when the display content type is text news, the content name is Cl, and when the user attribute is an office building, the main user has a reading time of 5 seconds because there are many adults who are assumed to read letters quickly. If the user attribute is standard, set it to 8 seconds. If the user attribute is condominium, set the user's age range to 10 seconds. If the user attribute is hospital, the elderly is expected to be used. Is set to 15 seconds. Similarly, in the case of a user-created text, a reading completion time is set for each alerting item (notification item) and each landscape image. The reading completion time for each user attribute is stored in advance in the display content table 15 in the storage device 14 of the monitoring device 20.

  Next, the operation of the elevator display device according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4. FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining a display operation in the elevator display device according to this embodiment, and FIG. 4 shows an example of display content patterns for each elevator travel time and user attribute in the elevator display device according to this embodiment. It is explanatory drawing.

  First, the user type setting unit 16 of the monitoring device 20 uses the building stored in the storage device 14 by checking whether or not the user attribute of the elevator is set in the storage device 14 through the control device 12. The user attribute is acquired (step S1), and the user attribute of the elevator is set (step S2). The travel time calculation unit 17 acquires the departure floor and the destination floor from the elevator user call registration information from the elevator control panel 1 via the input / output device 11 and the control device 12, and calculates the travel time of the elevator (step). S3).

  Next, the content selection unit 18 refers to the display content table 15 stored in the storage device 14 and selects a plurality of display contents (see FIGS. 2 and 4) if necessary (step S4). The reading completion time for each display content type of the user attribute set in S2 is integrated (step S5).

  Here, the display content is selected so as to be within the elevator travel time calculated in step S3, and when the accumulated time of the selected display content reaches the elevator travel time (step S6), the display content selection is completed. To do. Note that the accumulated time of the selected display content (not limited to one display content, for example, a plurality of display content can be selected for each display content type shown in FIG. 2) reaches the elevator travel time. If not, the process returns to step S4 and continues until the accumulated time of the selected display content reaches the travel time of the elevator. If the accumulated time of the selected display content is the same as the elevator travel time (step S7), the content selection is completed.

  If the accumulated time of the selected display content is larger than the elevator travel time, the remaining time required for content display is calculated by the content display time calculation unit 19 (step Sll), and the required remaining time is controlled by the elevator (step S11). S12) The elevator is run to ensure the content display time.

  Next, a display content selection method according to the elevator travel time will be described with reference to FIG. When the elevator car 5 door closes and departs to the destination floor, it accelerates from the departure time TS, decelerates after steadily running, arrives at the destination floor, and the elevator car 5 door opens It shows that the time to TO is the elevator travel time TR. For example, when the elevator travel time TR is 30 seconds, for example, when the user attribute is an office building, the content selection unit 18 repeatedly selects display contents in order of content names Cl, C2, and C4 for each display content type. , C3 is selected only for content immediately before the elevator arrives. Note that the reason why the content C3 is displayed last is because C3 is a matter of attention when referring to FIG. 2, and the order of the display content does not have to be particularly concerned.

  When the user attribute of FIG. 4 is an office building, the content Cl is 5 seconds, the content C2 is 5 seconds, the content C4 is 5 seconds, then repeated, the content Cl is 5 seconds, the content C2 is 5 seconds, and immediately before the elevator arrives. The content C3 is selected for 5 seconds. When accumulated so far, it becomes 30 seconds, and the display content when the user attribute is an office building and the elevator traveling time is 30 seconds is determined.

  Similarly, for example, when the user attribute is standard, the content Cl is 8 seconds, the content C2 is 8 seconds, the content C4 is 8 seconds, and then the content C3 is selected to be 8 seconds immediately before the elevator arrives. When accumulated, the display time is 32 seconds. As a result, the elevator travel time is 2 seconds longer than 30 seconds. However, referring to the content table of the reading completion time for each user attribute in FIG. 2, there is no display content suitable for a time shorter by 2 seconds when the user attribute is standard. In order to display the display content C3 for 8 seconds, the elevator is controlled so as to extend the time until the elevator arrives at the destination floor and opens the door by 2 seconds. By this elevator travel control, the elevator travel time of 32 seconds that satisfies the content display time of 32 seconds can be achieved. Thus, the display content when the user attribute is standard and the elevator traveling time is 30 seconds is determined.

  Similarly, when the user attribute is condominium, the content Cl is 10 seconds, the content C2 is 10 seconds, the display content C3 immediately before arrival at the elevator is 10 seconds for the content C3, and the accumulated display time is 30 seconds. The display content is determined when the user attribute is an apartment and the elevator travel time is 30 seconds.

  If the user attribute is hospital, the content Cl is 15 seconds, the display content C3 immediately before arrival at the elevator is 15 seconds for the content C3, and the accumulated time is 30 seconds. The content display time may be the same as the elevator travel time 30 seconds. Yes, the display content when the user attribute is hospital and the elevator running time is 30 seconds is determined.

  Next, returning to the flowchart of FIG. 3, after the display content is determined (step S <b> 8), the display command unit 13 of the monitoring device 20 instructs the car content selection unit 6 via the control device 12 and the input / output device 11. The selected display content is instructed to be displayed (step S9). Here, unlike the content selection unit 18 in the monitoring device 20, the in-car content selection unit 6 does not have a control function for selecting content, and selects the content stored in the content storage unit 7 in the car. Only functions. Further, the display command unit 13 of the monitoring device 20 commands the elevator control panel 1 via the control device 12 and the input / output device 11 to perform elevator control for securing the content display time (step S9).

  The in-car content selection unit 6 acquires the content stored in the content storage unit 7 in accordance with the selected display content information instructed from the display command unit 13, displays the content on the in-car display device 8, Further, the elevator control panel 1 performs the elevator control commanded from the display command unit 13 to secure the content time.

  If the user attribute is not set in step S1, the building sets the user attribute as standard (step S10), and proceeds to step S3 and subsequent steps.

  According to the present embodiment, since the reading completion time for each user attribute is set and the display content can be selected according to the traveling time of the elevator, before the elevator user has read the display content of the display device in the car, Since it is possible to prevent the display from being switched, the discomfort of the elevator user can be eliminated.

  In the present embodiment, as a result of selection of display content according to the travel time of the elevator, the content is displayed even when the elevator is controlled to display the content even when it is longer than the travel time of the elevator. Since the display can be prevented from being switched before the elevator user has read the display content of the display device in the car, the discomfort of the elevator user can be eliminated.

  Further, in this embodiment, it is possible to set the reading completion time for each user attribute, and the setting of the reading completion time reflecting the result of operating the elevator can be changed. In the present embodiment, display content can be set based on the standard reading time even when the user attribute of the building has not been determined or there is a setting omission.

  In the present embodiment, the content display is commanded by the monitoring device 20 connected to the elevator control panel 1. However, the display content is selected from a monitoring center that is remotely connected via a communication line (not shown), and the display command is displayed. Even if it performs, the same effect is acquired. In the present embodiment, the display contents and user attributes shown in FIG. 2 have been described as examples. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied in the same manner regardless of addition of user attributes or increase or decrease of display content types. Is possible.
