Assume that the content of the e-mail is, for example, a message such as “Set the 5th floor as a nonstop floor for the elevator of xxxx”. In such a case, "xxxx" is extracted as the elevator number to be operated, and it is determined that the mail is a mail indicating the non-stop floor from the word "non-stop floor".
From the words “fifth floor” and “setting”, “fifth floor” is interpreted as “set” as “nonstop floor”, and the operation command “set fifth floor to nonstop floor” is extracted.

After decrypting the contents in this way, the contents server 2 refers to the database 24 and refers to the elevator to which the elevator control device (here, the elevator control device 4a) corresponding to the elevator number “xxxx” belongs. It is searched which of the monitoring centers 3a to 3n (here, the elevator monitoring center 3a
), And an operation command signal format corresponding to the operation command “set the fifth floor to a non-stop floor” is searched (step S15).

Thus, the elevator monitoring center 3

Is selected by the operation of (1). Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment shown in FIG.

In the case of the fifth embodiment, the remote control of the elevator is executed according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, when the user accesses the content server 2 with the mobile phone 1, information for first displaying an operation screen for selecting a level is sent to the mobile phone 1 (steps S55 and S60).

On the other hand, if the user performs a level selection operation, the level selection information is sent to the content server 2, and the corresponding level operation screen is displayed on the mobile phone 1. (Step S65,
S70).

The user inputs an operation command from the operation screen displayed on the display unit 11 of the mobile phone 1 and transmits the operation command to the content server 2, whereby the content server 2 receives the operation command and receives the corresponding elevator. An operation command is transmitted to the monitoring center (step S7)
5, S80).

At the elevator monitoring center, the received operation command is converted into a signal format dedicated to the own device and transmitted to the corresponding elevator control device (step S8).
5). The elevator control device that has received the operation command signal controls the elevator according to the command (step S90).

According to the fifth embodiment, remote control can be performed using an operation screen of a level corresponding to the responsibility level of the user and the skill level of the operation.

Next, an elevator remote control system according to a sixth embodiment of the present invention will be described. The system configuration of the sixth embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1, but each of the elevator control devices 4a to 4m transmits its own elevator information via the elevator monitoring centers 3a to 3n. In that a function of sequentially transmitting data to the content server 2 is added.

As a result, the system according to the sixth embodiment performs the operation shown in the flowchart of FIG. As in the first embodiment, when the user accesses the content server 2 from the mobile phone 1, the content server 2 transmits an operation screen to the mobile phone 1 (steps S100 and S105).

The command is converted into common file data regardless of manufacturer and model and transmitted through the communication line 6a (steps S110 and S115).

The elevator monitoring center 3a converts a signal received from the content server 2 into an operation command according to a communication protocol with an elevator control device connected to the own device, and then converts the signal into an operation target. An operation signal is transmitted to the communication control unit 10a designated as (here, the elevator control device 4a) (step S120).

Upon receiving the operation command, the elevator control device 4a controls the elevator in accordance with the operation command (step S125), collects elevator information reflecting the result, transmits the elevator information to the elevator monitoring center 3a, and the elevator monitoring center 3a Is transmitted to the content server 2 after signal conversion into a format for the present system (step S130).

Then, the content server 2 transmits the received elevator information to the accessing mobile telephone 1 and displays it on the display unit 11 (step S).
135, S140).

The user looks at the display and confirms from the elevator information that the operation command is set correctly, and selects OK if wrong or insufficient, and transmits to the content server 2 by selecting NO. (Step S14
5). Here, if “OK”, this process ends, but if “NO”, the procedure from step S105 is repeated.

In the present embodiment, if the period in which the necessary elevator information and the monitoring signal in the elevator control device are transmitted to the content server 2 through the elevator monitoring center is set to every 1 second, the user can be almost in real time. It is possible to confirm whether or not the own operation command is reflected. Normally, the status signal of an elevator is about 100 bytes, and when using 64 kbs / s wireless packet communication (in the case of a PHS telephone), the communication time per operation is about 10 ms. Considering the nature, such an interval is appropriate. However, the speed may be increased due to the progress of the system, and the amount of information may increase, and there is no particular limitation.

According to the sixth embodiment, the operation can be checked to some extent without installing the elevator monitoring panel on site, and the hardware of the system can be simplified accordingly. There is also an advantage that the elevator administrator can monitor the elevator without being at a specific place.

Note that the present embodiment can be similarly applied to a system for transmitting an operation command using an e-mail as in the second embodiment. Also, in other embodiments, it can be employed as an additional function.

In FIGS. 1 and 6, information is transmitted from the content server to the monitoring center of each elevator maker. However, this is not limited to the monitoring center of a different maker. It may be a monitoring center in a local area. In short, the present invention can be implemented as long as remote operation can be performed in a wide area as much as possible.
