Description

[0001] System for controlling elevator [0002]

The present invention relates to an elevator control system, in which a user controls an elevator.

Recently, as society has developed, elevators have become an essential means of transportation in high-rise buildings. Now, elevators have evolved into a means of providing convenient and safe services for passengers on simple passenger transportation. Especially, in a densely populated residential environment such as a high-rise apartment, an elevator is used as a transportation means to be installed.

Generally, a user pushes an elevator call switch on a side of a door of an elevator and moves the elevator to the current floor number where the user is located. After the elevator is mounted, the floor selection button of the operation device in the car room is inputted.

In the case of the inner layer number button of the elevator, a push button (mechanical pager-push button) for ascending and descending is provided in the elevator.

In the case of a mechanical push button type calling means which is mainly used in an external call button provided outside the elevator, a call button of an up button or a down button is pressed on an elevator stopped at a certain floor inside the building.

However, this type of elevator call has the following problems.

First, in order to use the elevator, the elevator is called by pressing the external call button, or after the elevator is loaded, the desired number of floors must be selected by pressing the number of floors button. In this way, the user has to press the external or internal number of buttons one by one, which can spread the risk of infectious diseases. For example, when a flu patient or a mars patient touches an external or internal number of layers button to carry an elevator, or coughs, etc., and the infecting bacteria attaches to the calling button, another normal person touches the corresponding external or internal number of layers button There is a risk that the infecting microorganism will spread to the normal person.

Second, when the elevator is stopped on the floor where the elevator is called by the external call button, the user aboard the elevator may not be aware of it at all and may be upset. For example, when a user on an elevator descending from the 20th floor to the 1st floor handles personal work such as repairing makeup or the like, it does not know at all that it stops at the 10th floor due to a call from the outside 10th floor.

The user terminal 200 receives the user request information including the ascending call, the descending call, and the number of arriving layers of the elevator 100 requested by the user, and wirelessly transmits the user request information to the elevator 100. For example, it is possible to receive an ascending or descending call at the elevator entrance, or to receive the number of arriving seats to be reached on the inside of the elevator and wirelessly transmit the same to the elevator 100 together with the tag identification information.

The NFC tag 300 is a tag that is provided on the wall of the elevator gate of each floor and in which the tag identification information is recorded. NFC is a Near Field Communication (NFC) technology that transmits various wireless data within a distance of 10cm or less. Therefore, when the user terminal 200 having the NFC function is brought into contact with the NFC tag 300 provided on the wall of the elevator gate, the Bluetooth pairing is automatically performed. It can be easily and quickly bluetooth with the user terminal 200 without complicated setting process.

The elevator 100 performs elevator control according to a user request message including user request information wirelessly received from the user terminal 200 and a tag identification information. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, when the elevator 100 wirelessly receives an ascending or descending call from the user terminal 200 tagging the NFC tag 300 at the elevator entrance of the first floor, As shown in FIG.

3, when the user who has boarded the elevator inputs ten floors to his / her user terminal 200, the user terminal 200 wirelessly transmits the arrival floor number information of the eleventh floor to the elevator 100 And the elevator 100 reaches the 10th floor and stops.

In this manner, the user can operate the elevator 100 by operating his / her terminal without pressing a separate call button or the number of floors button. Accordingly, it is possible to minimize the spread of infectious diseases caused by the use of the elevator 100 used by a large number of the public.

FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an elevator according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a user terminal displaying the number of arrivals of an elevator in real time according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a user terminal that displays the number of tall call layers of an elevator according to an example.

4, the elevator 100 includes an external call button 110, an internal number button 120, a Bluetooth module 130, a user request information storage unit 140, and an elevator control unit 150 do.

The external call button 110 is provided on the wall of the elevator gate of each floor and is a button requested to call up or down call of the elevator 100. [

The number buttons 120 are provided inside the elevator to request the number of arriving passengers to reach.

The Bluetooth module 130 is provided in the wall of the elevator gate of each floor and inside the elevator and receives a user request message including user request information from the user terminal 200. The term "bluetooth" refers to short-range wireless communication technology that transmits information such as pictures and voice between portable devices such as a smart phone, an earphone, and a notebook. Accordingly, the user request information including the ascending call, the descending call, and the number of arriving layers of the elevator 100 requested by the user can be received from the user terminal 200 via Bluetooth.

Accordingly, the user terminal 200 reads the tag identification information by tagging the NFC tag 300 provided on the elevator gate wall, and transmits the user identification information including the elevation call requested by the user, the descending call, Input information. Then, the Bluetooth module 130 can transmit the user request message including the tag identification information and the user request information to the Bluetooth module 130.

When the validity of the tag identification information in the user request message received through the Bluetooth module 130 is verified, the elevator control unit 150 performs elevator control according to the user request information in the user request message. Here, validation of the validity of the tag identification information is to verify whether the tag identification information in the user request message received through the Bluetooth module 130 and the tag identification information assigned to the elevator 100 coincide with each other.

This is to prevent confusion of user request information when there are a plurality of elevators 100. For example, when a user A who wants to board a first elevator sends a Bluetooth user request message of an ascending call and receives a user request message of the A user both in the adjacent first elevator and the second elevator, Only the first elevator corresponding to the tag identification information in the request message performs control according to the user request message of the A user. On the other hand, the second elevator that does not match the tag identification information in the user request message of the A user ignores and discards the user request message of the A user.

The user request information storage unit 140 is a storage body for storing user request information including an ascending call, a descending call, and a number of arriving elevators requested by a user. This is to manage the history to inquire the information requested by the user in the event of an accident or the like in the future. For the sake of convenience, the storage body may be a hard disk drive, an SSD drive (Solid State Drive), a flash memory, a CF card (Compact Flash Card), an SD card (Secure Digital Card) A memory card, a media card, an MMC card, a memory stick, or the like, or may be provided in a separate device.

The elevator control unit 150 controls the elevator according to the user request information in the user request message received from the user terminal 200 and transmits the operation information of the elevator 100 to the user terminal 200, So that it can be confirmed through its own terminal.

For this purpose, the elevator control unit 150 transmits the number of arrivals of the elevator 100 to the user terminal 200 via Bluetooth in real time. As shown in FIG. 5, the user terminal 200 displays the number of arriving arrivals from the elevator control unit 150 in real time. Therefore, the user who boarded the elevator 100 can check his / her user terminal 200 and confirm the number of arriving elevators according to the elevator movement in real time. This is to make it possible to grasp the number of arriving elevators in real time simply by looking at the user terminal 200 without inconveniencing the user to look at the display panel provided inside the elevator.

The elevator control unit 150 also provides the number of the other calling parties to the user terminal 200 in the elevator, which is the number of the calling number from another user, when the elevator control unit 150 has to stop at the number of calls due to the call of the elevator 100 from another user . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 6, the user terminal 200 can display the number of other calling layers on the screen.

Therefore, when the elevator 100 stops at the floor where the elevator 100 is called by the external call button 110, the user aboard the elevator 100 can not be aware of the elevator 100 at all, By displaying the number of call layers, the user may not panic.

Further, the user terminal 200 displays the number of arriving layers in real time, or displays the number of other calls in a superimposed manner on a field smaller than the content screen displayed on the screen of the user terminal 200.

For example, it is possible to display the number of reachable layers or the number of layers to be called as a small size of the corner corner of the content screen of the news of "Naver". Even if the user strolls the elevator 100 and watches the news of 'Naver' displayed on his / her terminal, the number of reachable floors or the number of floors displayed as a small corner edge of the content screen of 'Naver' do.

For reference, the screen of the user terminal 200 may be implemented as a touch screen panel capable of receiving a user operation. The touch screen panel provides a touch screen screen capable of simultaneously performing input and display, A display window for displaying a work screen, and a graphical user interface (GUI) for communicating with the user is displayed.

7 is a diagram illustrating an example of displaying a CCTV image on a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

When the elevator 100 stops on the floor where the elevator 100 is called by the external call button 110, the person aboard the elevator 100 is never called by the outside person and knows nothing about the number of floors to be stopped. If an illegal person, such as a robber, calls the elevator 100 and is waiting outside, it can be dangerous.

As shown in FIG. 7, the elevator control system of the present invention includes a CCTV camera 400 that photographs the vicinity of an elevator gate of each floor in real time, generates a gate image for each floor, and transmits it to the elevator control unit 150 do.

The elevator control unit 150 transmits a blueprint image of the number of departing gateways to be taken by the user who is inside the elevator to the user terminal 200 used by the user who rides in the elevator, It is possible to display an image of the gate of the vehicle.

Therefore, the passenger of the elevator 100 can check the situation around the boarding gate which is inadvertently stopped by a call of another third party through the user terminal 200 through the image.
