Description

Elevator reminding system and method

Technical Field

The invention relates to the field of elevators, in particular to an elevator reminding system and method for reminding passengers to get off by using different lighting illumination modes in a car.

Background

An elevator generally has a display device in a car for providing passengers with the current floor and running direction of the car, and the passengers can obtain the current floor information of the elevator car through the display device during the movement of the elevator car and when the elevator car stops at a landing, such as chinese patent application CN 201910992314.7.

Although the display device is usually arranged in the car at an upper position beside the door so that the passenger can see the current floor information of the elevator car at his head or at his head. However, when the number of passengers in the car is large and crowded, the passengers at the rear of the car may be blocked by the passengers at the front of the car and cannot see the display device, and thus the passengers may miss their destination floors due to failure to obtain car position information in time. In addition, although some elevators are equipped with a floor voice broadcast function, when the car stops at a landing, the car voice broadcast device informs passengers of the current floor of the car in a voice manner, if the noise in the car is large, the passengers may miss the destination floors because the passengers cannot hear the voice broadcast.

In order to solve the above problems, the chinese patent application No. cn201880089794.x proposes that the interior of the car is illuminated with an interior illumination color consistent with the landing floor of the passenger when the car reaches the landing floor of the passenger according to the relationship between the pre-stored interior illumination color of the car and the car position, thereby realizing the reminding of the landing of the passenger. Although this scheme can solve aforementioned passenger because of the car other passengers shelter from when crowded and can't obtain car positional information and because of the noise can't hear clearly the current floor of car report and miss the problem of getting off the stairs in the car, nevertheless have following weak point:

1) the lighting color is pre-stored in the control part, so that passengers cannot know the lighting color, and the passengers can know the lighting color corresponding to the landing floor only by frequently taking the passengers and particularly memorizing the lighting color, which is particularly inconvenient for old people, children or non-permanent residents;

2) if the number of floors of the building in which the elevator is located is large, the need to pre-assign a fixed lighting color to each floor may result in insufficient lighting colors that are easily distinguished by passengers;

3) because the floor and the corresponding lighting color are pre-stored in the control part, the passenger cannot independently designate the lighting color according to personal preference and cannot meet the individual requirement of the passenger;

4) some floors of a building where the elevator is located cannot stop due to some reasons (such as being set as a non-service floor), but still occupy corresponding lighting colors, so that the waste of lighting color resources is caused;

5) since the number of floors of a building where an elevator is located varies, the elevator needs to be set in a targeted manner for the illumination color according to the number of floors of the elevator building before the elevator leaves a factory, and therefore, the elevator program cannot be unified and standardized.

Therefore, how to reasonably remind passengers of the floors for getting off the elevator on the basis of overcoming the defects of the prior art becomes a technical problem to be solved.

Detailed Description

Other advantages and effects of the present invention will become readily apparent to those skilled in the art from the following detailed description, wherein it is shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the specific embodiments are by way of illustration. In the following description, specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention, but the present invention may be practiced or applied in different embodiments, and the details may be based on different viewpoints and applications, and may be widely spread and replaced by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

Example one

The elevator reminding system of the embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, includes:

The lighting mode comprises at least one of lighting color, lighting brightness, patterns generated by lighting, lighting color change, lighting brightness change and pattern change generated by lighting. The elevator car interior lighting mode at least comprises a conventional lighting mode and a reminding lighting mode, the reminding lighting mode comprises a plurality of different reminding lighting modes, the conventional lighting mode comprises a conventional lighting mode, and the conventional lighting mode and all the reminding lighting modes are collectively called as a lighting mode.

The distribution unit selects one reminding illumination mode from the reminding illumination modes which are not associated and recorded by the recording unit and distributes the reminding illumination mode to the destination layer newly received by the destination layer receiving unit.

In addition, when the elevator car begins to close the door, the control unit controls the light of the elevator car to return to the conventional lighting mode; when the stopping floor of the elevator car is a non-target floor, the control unit controls the light of the elevator car to illuminate in a conventional illumination mode.

Preferably, when the building in which the elevator is located has only one common floor (such as a first-floor lobby), the allocation unit does not allocate the common floor, and the control unit controls the common floor to be illuminated in a conventional illumination mode; and when the building where the elevator is located has at least two public floors, the allocation unit allocates a fixed and different reminding illumination mode to each public floor.

The operation of the elevator reminding system of the embodiment will be described in detail in a specific scenario.

A residential building having a total of 8 stories is set. In this example, the lighting manner only refers to the lighting color inside the car, and it is assumed that the lighting color corresponding to the conventional lighting manner is ordinary white light.

When passengers enter the elevator cage from the floor 1, all the floors 4, 7 and 8 of the destination floor are registered by using destination floor registration buttons in the elevator cage. The destination floor receiving means (i.e., a registration signal receiving and processing circuit connected to a destination floor registration button in the car) receives the destination floor registered by the passenger, and the assigning means assigns a warning illumination mode with light blue as an illumination color to the destination floor 4, a warning illumination mode with light green as an illumination color to the destination floor 7, and a warning illumination mode with light yellow as an illumination color to the destination floor 8. The informing unit (here, the informing unit may be a registration state display lamp carried by the registration button for indicating whether the button is registered or not, or a display device for displaying information on the floor and direction where the car is located, as long as the device displays the assignment result of the illumination reminding mode) informs the passenger of the reminding illumination mode (here, illumination color) assigned by the assigning unit for the passenger's destination floor. The recording unit records all the distribution results of the distribution unit, for example, the target floor 4 and the light illumination color-light blue corresponding to the floor 4 are stored, and the storage can adopt a form similar to the 4-light blue, so that the corresponding relationship between the target floor and the light illumination color can be reflected.

When the elevator car is about to arrive or stops at the 4 th floor, the control unit controls the lighting device in the elevator car to switch the white light in the conventional lighting mode into the lighting color of the 4 th floor of the destination floor, namely light blue, so that passengers needing to go down the 4 th floor can know that the passengers should go down the current floor by sensing that the lighting color of the light in the elevator car is changed from white to light blue, and the trouble caused by missing the destination floor is avoided. When the elevator car stops at the 4 th floor, the passengers getting off the elevator finish getting off the elevator, and the passengers waiting at the landing enter the elevator car, the elevator starts to be closed, and at the moment, the control unit controls the lighting device in the elevator car to switch the lighting color of the 4 th floor of the destination floor in the reminding lighting mode, namely light blue, into white light in the conventional lighting mode.

Since the registered destination floors 7 and 8 are arranged in front of the elevator operation, the elevator car can go upwards after closing the door. If the elevator travels to floor 5 and receives a landing call from floor 6, the elevator car will stop at floor 6. Since floor 6 is not the destination floor, the control unit controls the lighting devices in the elevator car to maintain white light in the normal lighting mode.

In the foregoing description, the destination floor receiving means is a receiving and processing circuit connected to a destination floor registration button in the car, and the informing means is a registration status display lamp provided in the registration button for indicating whether the button is in a registered state, and the destination floor registration is implemented by using the destination floor registration button in the car after the passenger enters the car. When the passenger registers the destination floor by using the mobile terminal, the destination floor receiving unit is a communication unit for realizing the communication between the elevator and the mobile terminal, the communication unit receives the destination floor information from the mobile terminal of the passenger and transmits the allocation result (namely, the reminding illumination mode) of the allocation unit to the mobile terminal, and the communication unit simultaneously plays the functions of the destination floor receiving unit and the informing unit. In addition, when the elevator is provided with a destination floor registration device for inputting destination floor information by passengers outside the car such as a landing, the destination floor registration device transmits destination floor information for passenger registration to the elevator, and receives the assignment result (i.e., the alert illumination mode) of the assignment means and displays the result to the passengers, that is, the function of the notification means can be realized by the destination floor registration device at the landing.

In this embodiment, the allocation unit may autonomously allocate an unused reminding illumination mode to the received destination floor, so that it is not necessary for an elevator manufacturer to set a corresponding reminding illumination mode in advance for each floor before the elevator leaves the factory, thereby realizing the unification and standardization of programs, and avoiding the situations that the reminding illumination modes which are easily distinguished by passengers are not arranged enough and some floors are not stopped but occupy the reminding illumination modes when the number of floors of a building where the elevator is located is large, thereby reducing the consumption of illumination resources corresponding to the reminding illumination modes.

Example two

The present embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that the target layer recorded in the recording unit and the corresponding reminding illumination mode thereof are updated by using elevator operation data. Only the differences will be described below.

The elevator reminding system of the embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, includes:

the updating unit is used for updating the record content in the recording unit according to the elevator information, wherein the record content is a target layer and a reminding illumination mode corresponding to the target layer;

Specifically, the updating unit updates the recording content in the recording unit mainly in the following cases:

1) the elevator information comprises an elevator running direction, and when the elevator running direction changes, the updating unit clears the recorded content in the recording unit;

2) the elevator information comprises elevator car position information, and the updating unit deletes all target layers in the distance traveled by the elevator car and corresponding reminding illumination modes thereof;

3) the elevator information comprises elevator car position information, and when the elevator car stops at a certain destination layer or stops at a certain destination layer and the stopping time at the destination layer exceeds a first threshold value, the updating unit deletes the original destination layer and the corresponding reminding lighting mode thereof;

4) the elevator information comprises elevator car position information and door state information, and when the elevator car stops at a certain target layer and the door is opened, the updating unit deletes the original target layer and the corresponding reminding lighting mode;

5) the elevator information comprises elevator car position information and passenger entering car detection result information, and when the elevator car stops at a certain destination floor and a passenger entering the car is detected, the updating unit deletes the original destination floor and the corresponding reminding lighting mode.

In this embodiment, the clearing and deleting of the recorded content in the recording unit by the updating unit are to restore the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the destination layer that has been allocated or parked from the allocated state (i.e. associated with a specific destination layer) to the unallocated state (i.e. associated with no destination layer).

According to the embodiment, the used reminding illumination mode is reasonably updated (the destination floor or the elevator which stops in the current operation direction changes), so that dynamic updating and management of illumination resources corresponding to the reminding illumination mode are realized, and a foundation and guarantee are provided for efficient utilization of the resources of the reminding illumination mode.

EXAMPLE III

This embodiment is similar to the embodiment except that the update unit updates the recording content of the recording unit in different conditions.

Specifically, the elevator reminding system of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 3, includes:

the updating unit is used for updating the record content in the recording unit according to the elevator information, wherein the record content is a target layer and a reminding illumination mode corresponding to the target layer; when the elevator car stops at a certain destination layer and the destination layer receiving unit receives new destination layer information, the updating unit deletes the original destination layer and the corresponding reminding lighting mode thereof;

Example four

In the three embodiments, the lighting device in the elevator car adopts the conventional lighting mode in the moving process of the elevator car, and is switched to the reminding lighting mode corresponding to the destination floor when the elevator car arrives or stops at the destination floor, and then is switched back to the conventional lighting mode, so that obviously, two times of light switching exist in the process. Since the change in the lighting system due to the two switching operations may give a visual sense of incongruity to passengers in the car, it is necessary to reduce the number of switching operations or to reduce the difference between adjacent lighting systems before and after switching operations as much as possible.

Because the allocation unit allocates a reminding illumination mode different from the reminding illumination modes corresponding to other destination layers for each destination layer, obviously, after the elevator car reaches a certain destination layer, even if the illumination device in the car is not recovered from the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the destination layer to the conventional illumination mode, the judgment of whether the passenger in the car reaches the destination layer or not cannot be influenced, so that the illumination device in the car when the elevator reaches one destination layer continuously maintains the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the destination layer after illumination is performed by the illumination device in the car adopting the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the destination layer until the elevator car reaches or approaches the next destination layer, and the illumination device in the car is switched to the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the new destination layer. In this case, if the difference between the two types of warning illumination modes before and after switching is too large and the contrast of the illumination effect is too strong, the passenger in the car may feel uncomfortable during switching.

Therefore, when the allocation unit allocates the reminding illumination mode to the new destination layer received by the destination layer receiving unit, the reminding illumination mode which is similar to the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the adjacent destination layer to which the reminding illumination mode is allocated but can be distinguished by passengers is preferentially selected as the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the new destination layer. It should be noted that, a person skilled in the art may determine "proximity" herein according to specific content included in the lighting manner, for example, when the lighting manner is mainly a lighting color, two reminding lighting manners of adjacent destination layers are similar, which means that they belong to the same color system; when the lighting mode is mainly a pattern generated by lighting, two reminding lighting modes of adjacent destination layers which are similar refer to patterns with differences or style differences which are not particularly large, for example, a pattern with a square shape and a polygon shape, or a pattern with a square shape and a circle shape which are similar, and obviously, the pattern with the geometric figure and the cartoon character which are not similar belongs to the pattern.

The operation of the elevator reminding system of the present embodiment will be described in detail with specific examples.

The method comprises the steps of setting a residential building with 18 floors in total, wherein the lighting illumination in an elevator car of the residential building at least comprises a conventional illumination mode and a reminding illumination mode, wherein the reminding illumination mode comprises a plurality of different reminding illumination modes, the conventional illumination mode comprises a conventional illumination mode, and the conventional illumination mode and all the reminding illumination modes are collectively called as a lighting illumination mode. Here, the lighting manner only refers to the color of the lighting inside the car. In this example, it is assumed that the lighting color of the lamp light corresponding to the normal lighting system is normal white light, and the rated number of passengers in the elevator is 15.

Suppose 12 passengers enter the elevator car from floor 1 and register their destination floors in sequence, with final destination floors being 8, 15 and 18.

In this embodiment, after receiving destination floor 8, the destination floor receiving unit allocates a reminding illumination mode using yellow as an illumination color to floor 8; after receiving a destination floor 15, distributing a reminding illumination mode taking brown-yellow as an illumination color for the destination floor 15; after receiving the destination floor 18, a reminding illumination mode taking orange as an illumination color is distributed for the floor 18. After the elevator is started from floor 1, the illumination in the elevator car is illuminated in a conventional illumination mode (at the moment, the illumination is in common white). When the car is about to reach the 8 th floor, the illumination in the car is switched from the common white color of the conventional illumination mode to the yellow color of the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the 8 th floor. And when the lift car stops at the 8 th floor, is started and continues to ascend, the illumination in the lift car keeps the yellow of the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the 8 th floor unchanged. When the lift car is about to reach a destination floor of 15 floors, the yellow of the reminding lighting mode corresponding to the 8 floors in the lift car is switched to the brown yellow of the reminding lighting mode corresponding to the 15 floors, and although the yellow is different from the brown yellow, the change of the lighting effect caused by the switching between the yellow and the brown yellow does not make passengers feel uncomfortable. When the car stops at the floor 15 and starts to go up continuously, the lighting in the car keeps the brown-yellow color of the reminding lighting mode corresponding to the floor 15 unchanged. When the car is about to reach a destination floor of 18 floors, the lighting in the car is switched from the brown yellow of the reminding lighting mode corresponding to the floor 15 to the orange of the reminding lighting mode corresponding to the floor 18, and similarly, although the brown yellow and the orange are different, the change of the lighting effect caused by the switching of the brown yellow and the orange does not cause discomfort to passengers.

The illumination mode is reminded through appropriate selection to this embodiment, can avoid illumination mode switching process to produce the uncomfortable problem of scintillation etc. probably leading to the passenger to make the warning of going off the stairs to the passenger more comfortable.

EXAMPLE five

This embodiment is similar to the fourth embodiment, and only the differences will be described below.

In the fourth embodiment, when allocating the reminding illumination mode to the new destination layer received by the destination layer receiving unit, the allocating unit only considers the reminding illumination mode corresponding to the destination layer that has been allocated before. For example, in the example of embodiment four, floors 8, 15, and 18 are all destination floors for passenger registration that enters the elevator car at floor 1. When the allocation unit allocates the reminding illumination mode with the brown-yellow color as the illumination color to the destination floor 15, the destination floor 8 which has been received before the destination floor 15 is received is only allocated. Such an assignment method may result in an insufficient number of selectable illumination colors that are sufficiently different to be distinguishable by passengers but not uncomfortable to passengers at the time of switching, if the car stops due to a hall call and a new passenger enters the car and registers a plurality of destination floors earlier than floor 15 during the upward movement of the elevator, both the illumination color (yellow) corresponding to floor 8 of the destination floor and the illumination color (brown yellow) corresponding to floor 15 of the destination floor.

For this reason, in this embodiment, when the allocating unit allocates the reminding lighting manner to the new destination floor received by the destination floor receiving unit, possible destination floors located in front of the current position of the car in the current operation direction of the elevator are estimated according to historical destination floor data of the elevator, the registered destination floors and the possible destination floors are comprehensively considered, corresponding reminding lighting manners are arranged for the destination floors in an overall arrangement mode, and the reminding lighting manner corresponding to the registered destination floor is determined according to the result of the overall arrangement mode.

For example, for the example in the fourth embodiment, when the allocation unit allocates the reminding illumination mode with yellow as the illumination color to the destination floor 8, it is estimated that the destination floor 12 may appear in the current time slot according to the historical destination floor data of the elevator. After the reminding illumination mode taking yellow as the illumination color is allocated to the 8 th floor according to the allocation method of the fourth embodiment, the elevator receives the landing call of the 5 th floor when going up to the 2 nd floor. Passengers enter the elevator car during the period when the elevator car is parked at floor 5, and the destination floor of the newly entered passenger is floor 12. If the yellow color is assigned to floor 8 according to the method of the fourth embodiment, the destination floor 12 will not have the proper illumination color.

Therefore, after the destination floor receiving unit receives the destination floors 8, 15 and 18 registered by the passenger in floor 1, the destination floor receiving unit estimates that a destination floor 12 can appear in the current time period according to the historical destination floor data of the elevator, so that the elevator can appear a possible destination floor 12 in the process of arriving at floor 18 from floor 1. The distribution unit sequentially distributes the reminding lighting modes with the colors of green yellow, brown yellow and orange according to the arrival sequence of four destination floors including 8 th floor, 12 th floor, 15 th floor and 18 th floor. Therefore, when the destination floor of the 1 st floor receives 8 th floor for the first time, the allocation unit allocates a reminding illumination mode taking green and yellow as illumination colors to the destination floor; next, when receiving the destination floor 15, the user assigns a reminding lighting mode with brown yellow as lighting color, then when receiving the destination floor 18, the user assigns a reminding lighting mode with orange as lighting color, and finally when receiving the destination floor 12, the user assigns a lighting reminding mode with yellow as lighting color.

In the embodiment, the allocation unit estimates the possible destination layer in front of the running of the elevator car according to the historical destination layer data of the elevator, and selects and allocates the reminding illumination mode according to the relative position of the new destination layer in the possible destination layer, so that repeated switching between the reminding illumination mode and the conventional illumination mode can be omitted.

EXAMPLE six

The embodiment further limits the time of adopting the illumination reminding mode so as to deal with the situation that the car is crowded and other passengers occur between the passengers and the display device in the car to cause the display device in the car to be shielded in the background technology.

Specifically, the elevator reminding system of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, includes:

a notification unit configured to notify the passenger of different reminding lighting methods assigned by the assignment unit to each destination floor or only notify the passenger of different reminding lighting methods assigned by the assignment unit to a destination floor for which the congestion degree in the future exceeds a second threshold when the first determination unit determines that the current congestion degree or at least one future congestion degree exceeds the second threshold;

and the control unit is used for controlling the lighting device in the elevator car to light in the reminding lighting mode corresponding to a destination floor when the first judging unit judges that the current crowding degree or at least one future crowding degree exceeds a second threshold value and the elevator car is about to reach or stops at the destination floor, so that the reminding of passengers about to get off the elevator at the destination floor is finished.

The starting condition of the lighting mode is reasonably set, and the lighting is only reminded to the target floor when the crowding condition meeting the condition occurs in the lift car, so that the lighting resource loss required by lighting reminding when crowding does not occur in the lift car can be avoided, and the elevator-taking reminding control is simplified.

EXAMPLE seven

In the system according to the sixth embodiment, the assignment means performs assignment and outputs the assignment result regardless of whether the elevator car is congested, and the recording means records the assignment result, but the notification means and the control means operate only when the first judgment means judges that there is congestion.

Different from the sixth embodiment, the system of the present embodiment further defines the operation timings of the allocation unit and the recording unit, that is, the allocation, recording, notification and control of the reminding lighting mode are performed only when the elevator car is congested. Specifically, as shown in fig. 5, the elevator reminding system includes:

an allocation unit, which allocates the unallocated reminding lighting mode to the passenger destination floor or allocates the unallocated reminding lighting mode to the future destination floor whose crowdedness exceeds the second threshold value if and only if the first judgment unit judges that the current crowdedness or at least one future crowdedness exceeds the second threshold value;

and the control unit controls the lighting device in the elevator car to illuminate in the reminding lighting mode corresponding to a certain destination floor when the elevator car is about to arrive at or stops at the destination floor so as to remind passengers about to get off at the destination floor.

Example eight

Further restriction has been made to the opportunity that adopts the illumination mode of reminding to the elevator that the reply was carried in the background art disposes the voice broadcast device that arrives at a station, and when elevator car arrived the berth, there was the current stop floor of voice broadcast, if the passenger can hear this report content, can avoid missing the awkwardness of getting off the stairs. However, if the passengers cannot hear the broadcast content due to the high noise in the car, the passengers still may miss the elevator.

For this reason, the elevator reminding system of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 6, includes:

the informing unit is used for informing the passenger of different reminding illumination modes distributed by the distributing unit for each destination layer when the second judging unit judges that the noise intensity exceeds a third threshold value;

and the control unit is used for controlling the lighting device in the elevator car to light in the reminding lighting mode corresponding to a target floor when the second judging unit judges that the noise intensity exceeds the third threshold and the elevator car is about to reach or stops at the target floor, so that the reminding of passengers about to get off at the target floor is finished.

Example nine

In the system according to the eighth embodiment, the assigning means performs assigning and outputs the assigning result regardless of whether the elevator car is noisy, and the recording means records the assigning result, but the notifying means and the control means operate only in the case where the second judging means judges that there is a large noise.

Different from the eighth embodiment, the system of the present embodiment further defines the operation timings of the allocating unit and the recording unit, that is, the allocation, recording, notification, and control of the reminding lighting manner are performed only when the elevator car is in a noisy state. Specifically, as shown in fig. 7, the elevator reminding system includes:

an allocation unit, which allocates different reminding lighting modes which are not allocated to different destination floors of passengers if and only if the second judgment unit judges that the noise intensity exceeds a third threshold value, wherein the reminding lighting modes are different from the conventional lighting modes and can draw the attention of the passengers in the elevator car;

Example ten

On the basis of the sixth embodiment and the eighth embodiment, the present embodiment detects the congestion degree and the noise condition in the car at the same time, and determines whether to perform the warning illumination according to the detection result.

Specifically, the elevator reminding system of the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 8, includes:

the congestion degree determining unit is used for determining the current congestion degree of the elevator car according to the current information of the elevator or determining the future congestion degree of the elevator car before the elevator car reaches the terminal of the current running direction according to the historical information of the elevator;

a first judging unit configured to judge whether the current congestion degree determined by the congestion degree determining unit exceeds a second threshold or whether at least one future congestion degree exceeds a second threshold and whether the noise intensity detected by the noise detecting unit exceeds a third threshold;

a notification unit configured to notify the passenger of different reminding lighting manners allocated to each destination floor by the allocation unit or only notify the passenger of different reminding lighting manners allocated to the destination floor, to which the future congestion degree exceeds the second threshold, when the first determination unit determines that the current congestion degree or at least one future congestion degree exceeds the second threshold and the noise intensity exceeds the third threshold;

and the control unit controls the lighting device in the elevator car to illuminate in the reminding lighting mode corresponding to a destination floor when the first judging unit judges that the current crowding degree or at least one future crowding degree exceeds a second threshold value and the noise intensity exceeds a third threshold value and the elevator car is about to reach or stops at the destination floor, so that the reminding of passengers about to get off at the destination floor is finished.

EXAMPLE eleven

In the system according to the tenth embodiment, the assignment means performs assignment and outputs the assignment result regardless of whether the elevator car is congested and noisy, and the recording means records the assignment result, but the notification means and the control means operate only in the case where the first judgment means judges that congestion is present and there is large noise.

The system of the present embodiment is different from the tenth embodiment in that the system of the present embodiment further defines the operation timings of the allocation unit and the recording unit, that is, the allocation, recording, notification, and control of the warning illumination mode are performed only when the elevator car is in a crowded and noisy state. Specifically, as shown in fig. 9, the elevator reminding system includes:

an assigning unit that assigns an unassigned reminding illumination pattern to a destination floor of a passenger if and only if the first judging unit judges that the current congestion degree or at least one future congestion degree exceeds a second threshold and the noise intensity exceeds a third threshold, or assigns an unassigned reminding illumination pattern to only a destination floor of which the future congestion degree exceeds a second threshold;
