  • the communication means 11 sends the individual identifying information (i.e., the individual identifying information received by the receiver 16) to the schedule management device 5.
  • the action identifying means 8 starts the processing for identifying later actions of the employee (an individual) identified by the individual identifying information.
  • Figure 3 is a flowchart showing actions of the elevator control system in the first embodiment according to the present invention. Specifically, Figure 3 shows the processing flow of the action identifying means 8.
  • Figure 4 is a diagram showing an example of correspondence between meeting room names and floor names.
  • the action identifying means 8 obtains current date and time information from the time function incorporated in the schedule management device 5 (S2). Also, on the basis of the individual identifying information received from the control device 10, the action identifying means 8 obtains schedule data on an employee identified by the individual identifying information from the storage means 6 (S3).
  • the action identifying means 8 identifies the place to which the employee (an employee present in the vicinity of a hall of the elevator) is going to move (S4).
  • the action identifying means 8 identifies the place to which the employee 2 is going to move as "meeting room 101." At this time, the action identifying means 8 performs the identification of the place to which the employee 2 is going to move on the basis of the place of holding a schedule whose start date and time or whose finish date and time is set in a prescribed period including the current date and time.
  • the action identifying means 8 identifies the place of holding a schedule which starts or finishes at that time (in this embodiment, the meeting room name) as the place to which the employee 2 is going to move.
  • the action identifying means 8 performs the identification of the place to which the employee 2 is going to move on the basis of, for example, the start date and time nearest to the current date and time. In the case where the start date and time or finish date and time of any schedule has not been set within the above-described prescribed period, the action identifying means 8 identifies a prescribed unidentified place (for example, "meeting room 000") as the place to which the employee 2 is going to move.
  • a prescribed unidentified place for example, "meeting room 000
  • the action identifying means 8 identifies on which floor the identified place to which the employee is going to move exists, that is, the action identifying means 8 identifies the floor to which the employee is going to move (S5).
  • the schedule management device 5 information on the correspondence relationship between places capable of being registered in schedule data (in this embodiment, meeting room names) and the floors on which the place exists is registered beforehand in the storage means 6. On the basis of this correspondence information, the action identifying means 8 identifies the floor to which the employee is going to move.
  • the action identifying means 8 identifies the floor to which the employee 2 is going to move as "the 1st floor” from the correspondence table shown in Figure 4 .
  • the action identifying means 8 identifies the floor to which the employee 2 is going to move as a prescribed unidentified floor.
  • the action identifying means 8 In the case where in S5 the action identifying means 8 identifies the place to which the employee is going to move, the action identifying means 8 sends information on the identified floor to which the employee is going to move to the control device 10 of the elevator (S6).
  • the communication means 11 of the control device 10 After the sending of individual identifying information to the schedule management device 5, on receiving from the schedule management device 5 information on the floor to which the employee is going to move as a response to the sending, the communication means 11 of the control device 10 sends the received information on the floor to which the employee is going to move to the control means 12.
  • the control means 12 registers a hall call. Also, after the registration of a hall call, the control means 12 causes a hall button 15 corresponding to the hall call to light up.
  • control means 12 compares the information on the receiver-installed floor received from the identification means 13 and the information on the floor to which the employee is going to move, which was received from the action identifying means 8 via the communication means 11, and indentifies the moving direction of the employee. Then, on the basis of the identified moving direction, the control means 12 registers a hall call of the receiver-installed floor identified by the identification means 13. Also, the control means 12 causes a hall button 15 in a direction corresponding to the above-described moving direction to light up.
  • the control means 12 identifies the moving direction of the employee 2 as a downward direction, and registers a downward hall call of the 3rd floor. Also, the control means 12 causes a downward-direction hall button 15a installed on the 3rd floor to light up.
  • the control means 12 identifies the moving direction of the employee 2 as an upward direction, and registers an upward-direction hall call of the 3rd floor. Also, the control means 12 causes an upward-direction hall button 15a installed on the 3rd floor to light up.
  • control means 12 causes a notice for promoting the operation of the hall button 15a to be given from a hall of the receiver-installed floor "the 3rd floor" identified by the identification means 13.
  • Reference numeral 17 denotes a car which ascends and descends in a shaft of an elevator. Actions of the car 17 are controlled by the control means 12. An operating panel 18 and a receiver 19 are installed in the car 17.
  • the operating panel 18 is provided with a plurality of car call buttons (not shown) corresponding to floors at which the car 17 stops.
  • a car call button of the operating panel 18 When a car call button of the operating panel 18 is pressed, a registration request for a car call is sent from the operating panel 18 to the control means 12.
  • the control means 12 Upon receipt of the registration request from the operating panel 18, the control means 12 registers a corresponding car call. After performing the registration of the car call, the control means 12 causes a corresponding car call button to light up.
  • the receiver 19 is intended for receiving record information from an IC tag incorporated in the employee ID card of each employee. For example, when the employee 2 boards the car 17 of an elevator, individual identifying information "1" is sent from the IC tag in the employee ID card 4 to the receiver 19. Upon receipt of the individual identifying information from the IC tag, the receiver 19 sends the received individual identifying information to the control means 12.
  • the control means 12 Upon receipt of the individual identifying information from the receiver 19 after the automatic registration of the hall call, the control means 12 registers a car call corresponding to the floor to which the employee is going to move, which was identified by the action identifying means 8, on the basis of the information received from the communication means 11. For example, in the above-described example in which "the 1st floor" was identified as the floor to which the employee 2 is going to move, upon receipt of the same individual identifying information "1" from the receiver 19 after the automatic registration of a downward hall call of the 3rd floor, the control means 12 registers a car call of the 1st floor. Also, the control means 12 causes a car button of the 1 st floor provided in the operating panel 18 to light up.
  • control means 12 In the case where automatic registration of a car call is performed, for example, upon receipt of information on the floor to which the employee is going to move from the communication means 11, the control means 12 causes the storage means 14 to store the information by correlating the information to individual identifying information. Upon receipt of individual identifying information from the receiver 19, the control means 12 performs the registration of a car call and the lighting-up of a car call button on the basis of the contents stored in the storage means 14.
  • the employee can move from a hall to a destination floor without performing a button operation.
  • the elevator control system of the present invention can be used in an environment in which the schedule control of individuals is performed using IC tags.
