2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, as described in, for example, JP-A-3-31177, a camera is installed inside a car and images inside the car taken by this camera are taken out of the car and inside and outside the car. 2. Description of the Related Art A video device in a car of an elevator which is projected on a monitor has been proposed. In this conventional car video system, the image inside the car is displayed on the monitor outside and inside the car, so that the inside of the car can be monitored from the outside and crimes inside the car can be monitored. A person who is likely to commit is notified that the inside of the car is being monitored, thereby suppressing criminal activity.

[0003] However, although it is effective in deterring crime, it is usually thought that the image inside the car is merely displayed on the monitor, so that the user may get bored and the passengers in the car may also become tired. It may be uncomfortable to keep on being displayed on the monitor. For this reason, recently, as described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H10-297837, there has been proposed a monitor which displays a weather forecast, news, a publicity picture, or the like on a monitor to eliminate the feeling of passengers' hand-clipping and discomfort. Has been put to practical use.

[0004]

By the way, in the above-mentioned conventional monitor which displays a weather forecast, news, an advertisement, or the like on a monitor, even when the elevator has become abnormal and cannot be used, this abnormality does not occur. Since the weather forecast, news, advertisements, etc., which are not directly related, are displayed, it is not possible to notify the passengers waiting at the platform that the elevator is unavailable via the monitor.

[0005] On the other hand, there is a case where it is possible to remove even a passenger as a factor of the abnormality of the elevator. For example, some of the causes of abnormalities, such as the door not closing, are due to debris clogging the sill groove.In such a case, normal operations such as removing the debris can be performed by ordinary users and normal operation can be restored. Can be done. But,
In the conventional system, since such information cannot be transmitted to the user, there is no choice but to dispatch an expert engineer of an elevator maintenance company to deal with the problem, and there has been a problem that the elevator cannot be used for a long time. .

The present invention has been made in view of such a situation in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator capable of notifying a user that the elevator is unusable and the cause of the abnormality that has occurred. An object of the present invention is to provide an information display device.

[0007]

In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a camera provided in a car and a first camera.
, A second monitor provided at the landing, and a stop picture, and also receives a text broadcast signal from a text broadcast tuner and an image signal from the camera, and controls these information to control the first video. And a message unit for delivering to the second monitor, an abnormality detecting means for detecting an abnormality of the elevator, and a message unit based on the content of the abnormality detected by the abnormality detecting means. And a control unit for selecting a stored specific stop image and displaying the selected stop image on the first monitor and the second monitor.

According to the present invention having the above-described structure, when an abnormality occurs in the elevator, the abnormality is detected by the abnormality detecting means, and the content of the abnormality is selected by the control means. A specific stop image stored in advance is selected and displayed on the first monitor in the car and the second monitor in the hall, respectively. Thus, for example, when the elevator is unavailable, a message to that effect is displayed on the monitor so that the passengers at the landing can recognize it and use the other means of transportation. In addition, by displaying the cause of the abnormality that has occurred on the monitor, it is possible to make the passengers in the car and at the landing aware of the cause, and if possible, to urge the user to remove the cause.
