Among Fig. 2, when power connection, in step S10, set up the control signal that is used for input block etc.Among the step S20, receive processing, in step S30, to receiving processing from the hall call signal of calling out entrance hall button X05-1 to n from the signal of casing controller X02-A to D.Among the step S40, obtain transportation request, and the result who obtains in the past by checking transportation request (transit information and purposes state add up recording section), predict a following transportation request by handling, the optimum operating mode of plan and estimation advance notice transportation request resets new operating mode.That is the transportation request detecting device that a special use, is arranged in this step; One operating mode plan making device is used for planning and the special-purpose cooresponding operating mode of special-purpose transportation request data value that requires detecting device to detect; The device of setting operation mode again and again; And be used for the decision directed content and with the device of the cooresponding mode of operating mode after changing.Among the step S50, elevator is distributed to hall call with the operating mode that resets among the step S40.Among the step S60, with distribute to predetermined elevator signal export processing, and will notify the processing of code signal to export to and notify and broadcaster.Among the step S70, execution is to the notice control in the entrance hall of the hall call of distribution.Repeat the processing among the step S20 to S70, disconnect until power supply.

Fig. 3 is the diagram of circuit that the transportation request acquisition process among the step S40 and operating mode assignment procedure are handled in the instruction diagram 2.

Among Fig. 3, by the Japanese Patent publication number is the method that discloses in the patent documentation of 62-36954 (1987), obtains the transportation request between the floor and the worksheet PSTW (f that is added to from current transportation request, f) (f is the largest floor level number) is as the transportation request of floor gap classification in the specified time.Among the step SA20, worksheet PSTW (f according to the transportation request of floor gap classification in the specified time, f), obtain the weighted mean of the transportation request and the past transportation request of floor gap classification in the identical transport courses, and produce current transport courses the floor gap classification transportation request table PST (m, f, f), m is a traffic flow, and f is the largest floor number of plies.Among the step SA30, predict the transportation request of classification between the building of next traffic flow with the data of obtaining in the past of the transportation request of the floor gap classification of the transportation request data of the floor gap classification of the current traffic flow m that produces among the step SA20 and next traffic flow m1, and the worksheet PTW of the transportation request of classification between generation building advance notice (f, f).Wherein, the data of obtaining in the past of the transportation request data of the floor gap classification of the current traffic flow m that produces among the employing step SA20 and the transportation request of next traffic flow m1 floor gap classification, predict transportation request between the building of next traffic flow, but be not limited only to this method.Can be only predict according to two kinds of transportation request data of the floor gap of next traffic flow that obtains in the past and next traffic flow m2.Worksheet PSTW (f, f) data that also can comprise in addition, the transportation request of floor gap classification.

Among the step SA40, (f, f) data are planned and the cooresponding various operating mode of transportation request according to the worksheet PTW of the transportation request of the floor gap classification of predicting among the step SA30.

Among the step SA50,, in operating mode plan part P30 shown in Figure 1, simulate according to the identical transportation request of a plurality of operating mode of planning among the step SA40.According to its result, by the user power of determining such as a plurality of estimated values of average latency, the ratio that waits as long for ratio, use stair, carrying person numble etc. is carried out evaluation of integrals, and select a setting operation mode.That is, in step SA50, provide a kind of selective arrangement of operating way.Operation scheme as for as skip floor operation or the quick operation of subregion can obtain the lap time of carrying person numble or elevator by calculating, and need not to simulate.

Among the step SA60, whether good than current operating mode according to the operating mode of coming plan among the determining step SA40 as average latency, the service viewpoint that waits as long for ratio etc. and select.Step SA70 carries out the setting again of the operating mode of planning among the step SA40 rather than current operating mode is handled.

Fig. 4 is the diagram of circuit that the operating mode planning process among the explanation step SA40 shown in Figure 3 is handled.

Among Fig. 4, at step BS10, worksheet PTW (f is listened in the advance notice of the transportation request of classification between the building that produces among the step SA30 of analysis chart 3, f) data, taking-up has the top K floor of transportation request between big building, and will extract by the transportation request data storage of floor classification the worksheet STW (K) as the transportation request between the designated floor in the big transportation request grade, (K is the elevator number).With the worksheet STW (2) of transportation request between designated floor to the transportation request data of STW (K) and the transportation request data value among the STW (1) relatively.For example, if the transportation request data value is lower than half of data value of STW (1), then wipe the transportation request data of STW (2) (n be 2 to n).Wherein, although what extract is the top K floor with big floor gap transportation request, be not limited only to this.The data of extracting can be fixed on floor gap on the top 4.Among the step BS20, calculating is used to specify the summation of the worksheet STW (1) of floor gap transportation request to the transportation request data value of STW (K), and calculates with equation (1) and to be used to specify the floor gap transportation request ratio PSR of floor gap to the summation that is used for all floor gap transportation requests. $\mathrm{PSR}=\frac{\underset{i=1}{\overset{k}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\mathrm{STW}\left(i\right)}{\underset{i=1}{\overset{f}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\underset{i=1}{\overset{f}{\mathrm{\Σ}}}\mathrm{PTW}(i,j)}---\left(1\right)$

Among the step BS30, if transportation request ratio PSR is higher than 1/K (K is the elevator number) then carries out the processing of step BS40 between the building between the designated floor of calculating in step BS20.Among the step BS40, plan the operating mode or the operation of the skip floor between designated floor of the non-pausing operation of in step BS10, extracting.Wherein, the transportation request that is used for non-pausing operation or skip floor operation designated floor is in subsequent processes, by with produce among the step SA30 shown in Figure 3 by the floor gap classification (f, as if data f) are clearly that the transportation request that 0 (zero) is treated between designated floor does not exist as the worksheet PTW of transportation request advance notice.Among the step BS50, the elevator number of operating between the designated floor as non-operation suspension or skip floor operation of coming to extract among the calculation procedure SB10 with equation (2).

K1＝PSR×K ……(2)

Among the step SB60, according to the worksheet PTW (f that produces among the step SA30 among Fig. 3 as the transportation request advance notice by the floor gap classification, f) obtain except that crowded two floors in top (for example: bottom, dining room floor etc.) summation, calculate common floor to the floor gap transportation request ratio PSR between all floor gap transportation request summations with equation 1 as the transportation request of common floor.

Among the step SB70, whether floor gap transportation request ratio PSR is in 0.1 (10%) between the common floor that calculates among the determining step SB60.If common floor gap floor gap transportation request ratio PSR then carries out the processing of step SB80 and step SB90 within 0.1 (10%).If the floor gap transportation request ratio PSR between the common floor is more than 0.1 (10%), then in step SB120, execution is to the plan of the operating mode of all floors service with (K-K1) individual elevator number, and above-mentioned (K-K1) individual elevator number is to count K1 and obtain by deduct the elevator as non-pausing operation that calculates among the step SB50 from elevator sum K.Among the step SB80,, carry out the subregion subregion floor of operation fast so set because the transportation request of common floor gap is less among the step SB70.Wherein, as subregion fast the elevator number of operation be to deduct in the total elevator number that from step BS50, calculates as the elevator of non-stoppage in transit row to count K1 and the number that obtains.If number (K-K1) is an odd number, then for example, with 5 elevators, and suppose that lowest floor is the most crowded floor, the low layer district just can satisfy nearly 45% transportation request of general requirements number with 2 elevators, and high rise zone just can satisfy nearly 55% transportation request of general requirements amount with 3 elevators, in addition, the subregion floor is set, is the crowded floor service in low layer district and the high rise zone.If number (K-K1) is an even number, then in low layer district and high rise zone, all uses 3 elevators, and the subregion floor is set, thereby become about 45% of general requirements from the transportation request of upper floor.

Among the step SB90, with equation 1, according to produce among the step SA30 shown in Figure 3 by the floor gap classification (f f) calculates and is divided into branch transportation request high-rise and that be divided into common floor between the branch low layer and compares PSR with the worksheet PTW that asks advance notice as transportation.If the floor gap transportation request ratio PSR between the common floor is lower than 0.05 (5%), then owing to the transportation request of floor gap between high rise zone and the low layer district is less, plan is provided with the operating mode of the quick operation of subregion of shifting floor.If the floor gap transportation request ratio PSR between the common floor is higher than 0.05 (5%), then the transportation request owing to floor gap between high rise zone and the low layer district is bigger, and the operating mode of the quick operation of subregion of floor is not shifted in plan.By said process, can plan and the cooresponding operating mode of transportation request with the floor gap transportation request of advance notice.The operating mode of plan is recorded in operating mode plan and command record fractional t1 1.

The data class that writes down among operating mode plan and the instruction recording section T11 has the method for operation such as common operation, operation fast, skip floor operation, controlled operation etc., the data (as the restriction of hall call register) of elevator restriction casing control, the selection that distributes the method for hall call, the restriction of casing call register, door opens and closes control of time or the like.In these data, the type records of the data that those casing controls are direct necessary is in elevator control data recording section T10.

Fig. 5 is the list structure embodiment as transportation request as using among Fig. 3 and Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 to Fig. 9 is to be model with a certain building, the lunchtime sometime between with the plan of a certain transportation request corresponding operation mode.The parameter in building is: number of floor levels is 12, and the elevator number is 6, and bottom is the 1st building, and the dining room is positioned at the 12nd buildings.

Fig. 6 is interior each floor of explanation lunchtime bar chart of number up and down.Suppose to adopt in the building in the lunchtime the staggered mechanism of having dinner.

In the form that Fig. 7 provides, with among the step SA30 shown in Figure 3 by the worksheet PTW (f as transportation request advance notice of floor gap classification, f) data are come the number up and down in the presentation graphs 6, wherein, line direction is for arriving this floor, column direction is that height is opened this floor, in another table, (f, a top K floor (6 layers of this routine middle and upper parts) that has big transportation request in the SB10 step of extracting in data f) is described the content that is used as the worksheet STW (K) of transportation request between designated floor with the worksheet PTW as the transportation request advance notice from the floor gap classification.Wherein, because transportation request amount size condition, the STW (1) that adopts 4 floor gaps in top is to STW (4).

Fig. 8 is a routine schedules operations mode figure, it is to handle by operating mode plan shown in Figure 4, (f, the data as the worksheet STW (K) of transportation request f) and between the designated floor obtain according to the worksheet PTW as transportation request advance notice by the floor gap classification shown in Fig. 7.Among Fig. 8, the plan elevator only be for No. 5 that layer 7 and the tenth floor play hall call service upwards, and with non-stoppage in transit line mode to the Floor 12 dining room, No. 6 elevator only moves downwards with the Room meal of non-stoppage in transit line mode from Floor 12.As for the 1st to No. 4 elevator, the plan subregion moves fast, thereby No. 1 and No. 2 elevator are served ground floor to layer 5 and Floor 12, and No. 3 and No. 4 elevator are that the 1st floor and the 6th floor are to the Floor 12 service.

Fig. 9 is according to the operating mode of planning among Fig. 8, and each floor shown in Figure 6 is the exploded drawings of number up and down.Among Fig. 9, (a) expression is exclusively used in non-stoppage in transit row upwards, it is corresponding with No. 5, elevator among Fig. 8, (b) expression is exclusively used in the non-row that stops of downward direction, it is corresponding with No. 6 elevator among Fig. 8, and (c) expression one low layer subregion moves fast, and it is corresponding with No. 1 and No. 2 elevator, (d) expression upper floor subregion moves fast, and it is corresponding with No. 3 and No. 4 elevator.

Therefore, the operating mode of planning among estimation Fig. 8, and judge whether the operating mode of plan is better than current operating mode.If the operating mode of plan is better than current operating mode, then set the operating mode of this plan.

Owing to have a function can reset and the cooresponding operating mode of above-mentioned floor gap transportation request, so can be provided with and the cooresponding service floor of transportation request.Even particularly shortage also can be under the situation of the service quality that does not reduce common floor in transportation request in as the rush hours of lunchtime when the elevator number, the carrying capacity on the crowded floor of improvement.

When determining to need to change operation scheme, treating process proceeds to bootstrap technique and selects part P05.

Bootstrap technique is selected such move of part P05 shown in diagram of circuit among Figure 10.That is, among the step S210, the data that write down among bootstrap technique selection part P05 read operation mode plan and the command component T11, and whether the decision operation mode variation has taken place.If operating mode does not become, then handle and proceed to step S280.If operating mode has changed, then treating process proceeds to step S230, selects and the corresponding notification data of this operating mode.Enter step S240 subsequently,, judge whether the notification data of selecting is different with the last data of same operating mode with the data comparison among the Notification Method historic records part T06.If different, then treating process enters step S250.If there is not difference, then treating process enters step S260.

Writing chart among the Notification Method historic records part T01 writes down and the corresponding advice method of each operating mode as shown in Figure 13.Writing chart is built into nearest notification data in each advice method of storing each notice and broadcaster, and as time of broadcast announcement, the data that show date and so on, if with past identical operations mode, then use writing chart, the advice method of selecting can be compared with broadcasted content in the past.Advice method 1 and advice method 2 are used separately as advice method under control operation and common operation, can by from the cooresponding confirmation of the reservation mode of this moment elevator state the suitable a kind of mode of selection come channeling conduct.So, needn't store the history of these operating mode.Various advice methods are stored in the advice method setting recording part.Above-mentioned data structure can provide as week, the data of common day and holiday and so on, rather than show date.Among the step S250, the amendment notice data, thus finish the request notice, and treating process enters step S280.Among the step S260, judge whether mistake operation ratio is lower than given value (3%).If mistake operation ratio is not less than given value, then treating process proceeds to step S280.If be lower than given value, and carried out the request notice, then the writing chart of alteration notification method instruction recording section is asked notice thereby discharge, and treating process proceeds to step S280.Finish after this processing,, produce the notification data of the data that comprise casing state recording part T01, and it is left in the writing chart of Notification Method setting and recording section T01 at step S280.Among Notification Method setting and the recording section T01, record and the cooresponding confirmation of the reservation content of operation mode.

In the treating process, request notice is not discharged by mistake operation ratio, but carries out at the schedule time, as illustrating among the step S260, but not shown.Even the mistake operation is than higher, the request advice method also is transformed into the general notification mode later at a certain leadtime.For example, change under the situation of service floor in the operation fast at subregion, also before changing, carry out the notice under 10 minutes the request mode after each quitting time in a week, and when starting change, before the alter operation mode and when the operating mode operation elevator that to be ready using by change the time, also carry out the notice under the request mode of 5 clocks.Set the time gap ask continuously to notify and be approximately a week, and if the mistake operation than being lower than 3%, then with the notifying changed one-tenth common mode under above-mentioned value, the request mode.

If operating mode flip-flop Composition Region operating mode then in the notice of carrying out before changing under 5 minutes the request advice method, and is proceeded by the operation of the quick operating mode of subregion to elevator.In addition, before closing the door, carry out the notice under the request mode of ascending stair restriction of 5 seconds kinds, even so that also can call user's attention when not changing operating mode.When call user's attention as mentioned above, can improve attention by change advice method with the request advice method to the user.

Adopting under the situation of speech guiding device as the guide broadcast method, when decision changes operating mode, one demonstration speech sign indicating number generation part P09 produces a control code as demonstration and speech, and it is recorded in the table of demonstration and speech coding setting and recording section T12.The request advice method will describe in detail below.

Hall call registration section P02 deposits a new hall call of being deposited by hall call LD device X05-1 to n in the table of a hall call register recording section T05.Hall call distribution portion P07 is assigned to each elevator according to the hall call restricting data that writes down among operating mode plan and the indicating section T11 with the new hall call of depositing among the hall call registration section T05, and just outcome record is in hall call assignment record part.

Grouping/casing control part P10 handles, thereby each data that grouping management control system X01 is produced by Network transmission line L01, promptly the cycle data ground that writes down among the data that write down among the data of each the recording section records partial record among the hall call assignment record part T09, the elevator control recording section T10 and the demonstration/speech control code recording section T12 send to casing control setup X02-A extremely-go in each of D.

Referring to the flow chart description control setup X02-A of the casing control setup among Figure 11 treating process to-D.

The casing control setup is resetted-starts by energized by step S300, and carries out initial treatment in step S310.Subsequently, in step S320, execution is to the casing call treatment, and in step S340 and step S350, to-D, will be sent to each display guiding device X03-A1 to An, X03-B1 to Bn, XD3-C1 to Cn, the XO3-D1 to Dn by Network transmission line L02-A from demonstration/speech control coded data that the grouping management control system transmits.In step S360, execution elevator control and treatment, and treating process turns back to step S320.In certain one-period, repeat this treating process.

Embodiment with the display notification device of 8 half big or small character type LED read out instruments of 4 plates is described below among Figure 12.Each a to d in four plates constitutes with 16 * 16 LED, and can show the literal of various literal and a full size, two half big or small literal.Needless to say can adopt another kind of LED read out instrument or liquid crystal indicator.Adopt two kinds of transformat FH1, HF2 to read out instrument.At transformat is under the situation of HF1, can carry out complicated demonstration, but need carry out periodic communication between 0.1 to 1 second.So in the transmission method such as RS-422A communication, the transmission of per 8 layer of 20 byte data needs

20 (byte) * 11 (position) * 8 (layer)/4800 (bps)=0.37 second.

So,, in fact can't use transmission method as RS-422A communication because load is too high.

At transformat is under the situation of HF2, in case data have been transmitted, then owing to specified the operation of read out instrument, need not to change data before the change data content.So, can make full use of low speed transmissions method as RS-422A.

Figure 14 describes as each operating mode of mistake operation probability and the relation table between the setting value.The restriction of mode mistake evolutionary operator probability preset value is set under the situation of tight (operating fast) higher as the subregion in the office hours and the restriction of mode under the situation of pine the preset value of mistake evolutionary operator probability be set to lowlyer, can suppress the reduction of operating efficiency.In the table, control casing calling file represents that after user's ascending stair, casing is parked in the ability on the non-designated floor under the mode.That is, mark X represents that the situation that casing calls out on a certain floor be parked in beyond the designated floor is invalid, and mark O represents that it is that situation on a certain floor that is parked in beyond the designated floor is effective that casing is called out.

Figure 15 has described the request displayed map in the example work hours.

Show and notifying device X03-D1-1 described one routine with a general notification mode 21 upstairs to the demonstration of No. 4 casing.Reference character LP12-A represent to deposit in No. 4 casing upward to hall call, the size of the area that the lamp of different colours occupies is represented wait time.Reference character LP11-B represents the current location of No. 4 casings, and label LP11-C represents the service direction of No. 4 casings, and label LP11-D represents the operation of the door of No. 4 casings on other floors.By showing the current state of the elevator that distributes for hall call in normal time, notify the elevator of its distribution of user, avoid taking place irritated.On the other hand, under the situation that subregion moves fast in the time that is on duty, must be by notifying the user to notify the user of wait effectively the current distribution state of elevator.So, must come with the demonstration of the advice method 3 shown in reference character X03-D1-2 rather than normal the demonstration effectively to notify the user with the information of the service floor of relevant No. 4 casings.Be on duty in the time, because it is former thereby cause the change of transportation request to charter the change at family or certain, by changing the data in plan of operation side shown in Fig. 1 and the command record fractional t1 1 service floor shown in the Y01 is changed over the service floor shown in the Y02, in this case, adopt the represented demonstration of reference character X03-D1-3, thereby with the change notice user.In order to ask variation point, the change of having only demonstration partly is to use the hollow character express different with other parts, as represented with reference character LP11-C-A.Much less, can adopt color display to attract people's attention, replace hollow literal.In addition, can prevent that service floor from changing caused wrong ascending stair by carrying out the represented voice announcement of reference character A01, thus call user's attention.As described, request notice means the notice that has adopted under a kind of advice method that attracts the user's attention different with the general notification mode.Using under the situation of read out instrument, request demonstration here defines with a kind of demonstration that is different from the common display type, for example, shows with above-mentioned different color or with flicker.With under the situation of voice announcement, can adopt the sound of the power of attracting the user's attention, repeat notice as the alarm whistle before the beginning voice announcement, change wave volume or same content and attract the user's attention several times.

Figure 16 is the service floor represented with Y01 among Figure 15 example figure that the notice of each floor shows in the time that is on duty.Reference character Y01A is the demonstration of an example as all elevators and all floors.The demonstration of No. 4 casings on B1 floor when reference character X01-D0-11 represents not have the elevator service in the example work hours.Telltale has an off-limits mark, off-limits time gap and off-limits reason, and the sincere advice people use stair.Because Notification Method history lists T06 stores the demonstration time, when the time is different, can ask to show.With reference to showing X03-D1-1, represent an example 1 telltale of No. 4 casings upstairs.This is the up hall call that an example is just being distributed, and shows direction, wait time and the purpose floor that distributes.Reference character X03-D2-11 represents an example 2 telltale of No. 4 casings upstairs.Because No. 4 elevator is not second layer service, a telltale is then arranged, show the reason that is prohibited from entering and the user is directed to other elevators.This to building, the 3rd building to seven too.Reference character XO3-D8-11 represents 8 telltales of No. 4 casings upstairs.Because unallocated as shown in FIG. hall call, so only provide floor with service.This to building, the 9th building to 12 too.Reference character XO3-D13-11 is an example 13 telltale of No. 4 casings upstairs.Because in the work hours on the less floor that accumulates in except that Building 1, hall place of user, so when on this floor, distributing hall call, adopt the telltale of use in the common time.

Figure 17 is an example of broadcasting telltale in the quitting time in advance.1 a reference character to be arranged in No. 4 casings upstairs be the telltale of X03-D1-2 in work hours the previous day, operates fast so that carry out subregion with the represented service floor of the Y01 among Figure 17.Yet because the change of building transportation request, operation in second day must change among Figure 15 with the service floor shown in the YO2.Therefore data among operating mode plan and the command list T11 change, and produce the represented service floor with Y02.In this case, by show three kinds of advice methods, X03-D8-1, X03-D8-2 and X03-D8-3 (this is that circulation is switched in advance) after the quitting time, can notify in second day working time to adopt which elevator.In addition, after the quitting time, distributed the elevator of hall call, can only notify the relevant personnel by only showing downward direction.Reference character LP18-A represents the telltale as downward direction hall call wait time, and reference character LP18-D represents other floor door open and-shut mode and has or not the ascending stair personnel.Reference character X03-D1-3 be an example when changing the same day 1 telltale of casing 4 upstairs.Among the figure,, use that to roll when display mode shows be no problem although show last content of announcement by changing method.The content of operating mode plan and command list T11 can change according to the input media that the outside provides, and the switching of above-mentioned display mode is to change from the operating mode of external input device by input to carry out.Input is carried out in can be at any time, and certainly, the input of operating mode change can be undertaken by the appointed day in advance.

Figure 18 is the situation when subregion broke down in elevator in quick operating period in first half an hour of lunchtime.In lunchtime when the service floor elevator of representing for Y03 be during with the quick operating mode operation of subregion, 1 upstairs the telltales in No. 2 casings be shown as X3-B1-1, No. 4 the interior telltale of casings is shown as X03-D1-6.When in No. 2 casings during et out of order, casing is in the state that service can not be provided.At this moment the service in building, the 6th building to 10 reduces greatly.Operating mode plan among Fig. 1 and command component P08 are by the error state of No. 2 casings of casing state recognition part T01 identification, and, for the service that prevents building, the 6th building to 10 descends, automatically change operating mode plan and command list T11 among Fig. 1, come the distribution services floor, for example, as by shown in the Y04 like that.At this moment, 1 upstairs the telltale of No. 2 casings show " et out of order " advice method 1 time, in order to the appearance of notice fault, shown in X03-B1-2 like that, and the telltale of No. 4 casings shows the floor that can serve, shown in X03-D1-7.Because service floor great changes occur in the short time, so flicker appears in telltale.In addition, carry out the voice announcement shown in the A02, call user's attention simultaneously.At subregion during fast operation is to be determined by client requests recording portion submeter T03, set the elevator of serving all floors and be No. 4 casings under the Y03.At this moment, it is on hall call buttons that " normally ", " fast " show, shown in X06-15, X06-25 among Figure 19, at this moment, the user can call out the elevator that they want ascending stair.

Figure 19 be an example without limits casing call out, but restriction demonstration, hall call and door open and close the time, the subregion of lunch in first half an hour operate fast.The service floor of each elevator is shown in Y05, and dining room floor the 5th telltale upstairs is for 4 times X03-A5-10, X03-B5-10, X05-C5-10 and X03-D5-10 at advice method.Reference character HLT1 is an entrance hall lamp, the arrival that the downward direction elevator is prolonged in expression.At this moment, when the casing that does not show in depositing read out instrument was into called out, service had been finished, but mistake operation detection program P01 is detected. as a faulty operation, and the percentum that casing is called out 50 mistakes operations is counted.If for the mistake operation probability that Figure 14 determines, ratio surpasses 20% of currency, then telltale X03-A5-11, X03-B5-11, X03-C5-11, X03-D5-11 flicker.In addition, carry out voice announcement, with calling party's attention as A03.If mistake operation probability becomes 15%, then flicker shows and voice announcement release, complains strong demonstration and disagreeable speech to avoid the user.If the mistake probability is also very low, for example be lower than 3%, then can carry out casing and call out control.

Referring to Figure 20 another embodiment is described.

Figure 20 has described an elevator control system of operation separately, it have as shown in Figure 1 grouping management control system X01 and casing control setup X02-A to-D.Difference with Fig. 1 is described below.

At first, in the present embodiment, the hall call distribution portion P07 in the grouping management control system of Fig. 1 becomes the hall call order of response and judges part P27.The hall call order of response is formulated part and is selected recording section T10 and hall call to deposit the data that write down among the recording section T05 according to method of operation, determines the service order of hall call.Although this is limited in the situation of the elevator of isolated operation, can improve delivery efficient by certain operating mode of method of operation being set for as designated floor method of service or dedicated operations mode.

Transportation request judgment part P04 is with the add up data of recording section T04 of transit information and purposes state, whether the decision operation mode changes because of transportation request, and with the change method plan of essentiality notifying operation and operation part, this with the grouping management control system in identical.

Method of operation selection and command component P08 are used for judging whether to exist because schedule and transportation request are used as the change order of operating mode from the data of the collection of purposes information and mistake operation detection part P01 and transportation request judgment part P04.If order does not then keep this mode as before.If order is arranged, then method of operation selection and command component partly read two kinds of operating mode that be suitable for time element and transportation request element this moment from method of operation selection and command record, and it is deposited with method of operation selection and command record part.

Method of operation is selected and command record fractional t1 0 storage normal operations mode, force quick operating mode, the quick operating mode of notice control, skip floor operating mode (operating mode that alternating floor is served), skip floor operation multi-pass operation mode is (on the floor of common skip floor operating mode and on crowded floor, perhaps remove a kind of operating mode of serving on the service floor of unmanned ascending stair according to transportation request), and as the data that limit in the hall call, the data that limit in the data of the restriction change of hall call service order and the casing call register.

Telltale speech sign indicating number generation part P09 method setting recording part T07 as per advice produces a control code as demonstration and speech, and it is recorded in demonstration and the speech control code recording section.

Hall call registration section P02 deposits hall call register recording section T05 with hall call LD device X05-1 to-new hall call that n deposits.

Hall call response sequential decision part P27 selects according to method of operation and the hall call restricting data of command record fractional t1 0 is judged service order, and the new hall call of order for depositing among the hall call registration section T05.Service order is recorded among the hall call response command recording section T09.

I/O transporting part P10 has a program, is used for by bus-type I/O transmission line, regularly the data that produce among the carrying case member control apparatus E01 (being hall call response command recording section T09 and demonstration and speech control code recording section T11).

In the present embodiment, when such shown in the embodiment determines the alter operation mode as shown in Figure 10, can change notice and the advice method of broadcaster.So, when selecting from operating mode and during the data of command record fractional t1 0 transmission alter operation mode, Notification Method selection part P05 reads the data among the Notification Method historic records part T06, decision and corresponding content of announcement of this operating mode and advice method again.The content of announcement of decision and the advice method of decision are recorded in Notification Method and are provided with in the recording section T07.The time of broadcast announcement also is recorded in the Notification Method setting recording part T07, and when it became Preset Time, the corresponding content of announcement of Notification Method setting recording part T07 and corresponding advice method were shown with speech control code generation part P09 and convert control code to.The encoded recording that is converted show and speech control code recording section T11 in, be sent to notice and broadcaster on the respective storey by I/O transporting part P10 subsequently.As mentioned above, can be according to this operating mode alter operation content.Yet, can advice method be altered to a request advice method according to the kind of the operating mode that changes.After doing like this, can make the user easily understand the change of operating mode, can successfully operate elevator.

Above, be used in as under progressively service operations and the quick operating operating mode,, will ask advice method to be applied to other operating mode and can make things convenient for the user according to the change of service state though the request advice method is limited at.For example, if will specify casing to stop a certain fixed time, then the previous day before shutdown, in sometime, broadcast regular shutdown in the request mode owing to periodic monitoring.Like this, the user can know shutdown in advance, can avoid using elevator.In addition, when stopping elevator when service owing to maintenance, by show in the request mode (for example among Figure 21 (a) or (b) shown in " no admittance " mark or flicker show), inform that elevator can not use.

If there are many people to accumulate on the certain floor, and must prolong wait time, and judge that extremely long wait time can use to move along the elevator of reverse direction operation and then forward by the user on following one deck of certain floor and avoid, then the indicator of both direction is lighted, and show literal or " U-TURN " mark among Figure 21 (C), and further adopt the request mode of flicker display mode.Like this, can avoid waiting as long for.Have, notice can adopt the demonstration (as using a kind of zoomorphism) of equally intending animal during wait time again, avoids that the user's is irritated.This is to show according to a kind of request of the present invention.

According to the present invention, in a kind of elevator control system, this system can be in the rush hours such as the work hours, setting each building by district or elevator number the division of each elevator is optimum operation mode, when the automatic setting result makes operating mode be different from last operating mode owing to the change of traffic flow, can come clearly with the change notice user by color or the advice method that changes variation point, the user can climb up elevator zero defect, so can be in that quick operating peak transportation request prevents the reduction of transport capacity in the time such as subregion.

Have again,, and, can make the time length that changes under the advice method for the necessary time and for minimum according to the release that the result sets change under the advice method by measurement mistake operation probability.Therefore, can prevent that the attractive in appearance of building from being made dirty, and prevent user's complaint.

Have again, operate fast by using the control of the notifying device of casing call register without limits to carry out subregion, even deposited the casing call register button of the floor of failing to give notice, also can carry out the service of any floor, and therefore make wrong ascending stair person in the plane can arrive at its destination.
