Further, it is disclosed that a pseudo floor display different from an actual movement is performed when passing over or in front of a hall registration floor.

[0005]

Problems to be Solved by the Invention Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-53153
The technique described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. HEI 9-112400 considers a case where it is detected that an intruder has entered a building, and does not consider crime prevention for an elevator user.

[0006] The technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-10396 is an invention for preventing the general user from showing the movement of the elevator when raising the oil temperature of the hydraulic elevator.
It does not consider services for elevator users.

The technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-345346 is such that display / non-display is switched for each floor, but it is intended to solve the shortage of signal line capacity.
This also does not take into account security related to elevators.

The technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 5-254747 is intended to save energy.

The technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-204283 realizes non-display by specific storage contents of a card. However, a user of an elevator uses a special card holding information for non-display. It is necessary to possess.
While the elevator is in operation and after the operation is completed, the destination floor is hidden by hiding it until it reaches the next user's hall call occurrence floor. Therefore, there is a possibility that a user of another elevator may misunderstand that the elevator is out of order.

The technique described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-227044 is limited to a landing car position display device installed for each of a plurality of elevators performing group management control. Turning on the car position display of the corresponding car when the elevator approaches the hall call registration floor and turning off the light in other situations has nothing to do with the crime prevention of the elevator.

Further, the present invention discloses that a pseudo-floor display different from an actual movement is performed when passing over or in front of a hall registration floor, so that a person who has registered the hall call can be registered. The position of the car is not displayed. That is, the general user of the elevator cannot know the position of the actual car without knowing it by others.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method of notifying a car position of an elevator which can prevent others from knowing its destination floor by a car user's intention without requiring a special security card. Is to provide.

[0013]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a display unit of a hall display device, a notification unit of an in-car notification device, a voice generation unit of a hall sound generation device, and a user of an elevator. In an elevator car position notification method in which at least one of a display of a portable terminal owned by the user and a display of a fixed terminal installed in connection with the elevator is notified of the position of the elevator, the display is performed using a human body. Authentication means for elevator users, means for authenticating elevator users using mobile terminals, means for authenticating elevator users using equipment related to elevators installed in halls or cars, and networks. Using at least one of the means of authenticating the user of the elevator performed using the terminal via
The output of the original car position to the corresponding one of the display unit, the notification unit, and the voice utterance unit is stopped.

Also, the original car position of the elevator is
Elevator user authentication means performed using a human body, an elevator performed using a portable terminal, so as not to output to a corresponding one of the display unit, the notification unit, and the voice utterance unit User authentication means, elevator user authentication means performed using elevator-related equipment installed in the hall or car, elevator user authentication means performed using a terminal via a network One is to use a database of control settings (notification and non-notification settings) relating to the user of the elevator, and a notification content determining means for determining the notification content in accordance with the result of querying the database.

In addition, non-notification of the car position on each floor,
Or if you try to make a dummy notification of the car position,
In order to reduce the installation cost, a device for non-reporting or dummy notification of the car position is installed in a place where the car or the car moves in synchronization with the car, and the corresponding non-reporting is performed. Alternatively, the dummy notification is installed in association with the display unit of the landing display device, the notification unit of the in-car notification device, the sound generation unit of the landing sound generation device, the display unit of the portable terminal carried by the user of the elevator, and the elevator. This is performed on at least one of the display units of the fixed terminal.

The display unit of the landing display device, the notification unit of the in-car notification device, the sound generation unit of the landing sound generation device, the display unit of the portable terminal carried by the user of the elevator, and the elevator are installed. In the elevator car position notification method in which at least one of the display units of the fixed terminal is notified of the elevator car position, an output destination for not reporting the original car position, and an output for performing dummy notification of the car position At least one of the destinations is different from the output destination for reporting the original car position.

Further, in order to improve the usability of the elevator user, the notification of the original car position under the predetermined condition is performed by displaying the display of the portable terminal of the elevator user who has performed the call registration and the fixed terminal. At least one of the display unit, the display unit of the hall display device of the floor where the hall call registration is performed, and the sound generation unit of the hall sound generation device of the floor where the hall call is registered is performed.

Further, when the dummy notification of the car position is performed so that the original car position is not known, when the hall call registration floor is the end floor, the dummy notification is made as if the hall call registration floor is stopped halfway, and the destination floor is notified. When there is no stop floor between the car and the true car position, a dummy notification is issued as if the vehicle has passed the destination floor.

Also, the elevator user is required to set a dummy ride floor at the car position and a dummy destination floor so that a third party can be disturbed without knowing the original floor of the elevator user. , At least one of the dummy stop floor and the dummy passage floor.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an elevator car position notifying method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a schematic configuration of an apparatus for implementing the elevator car position notification method of the present invention.

The present apparatus comprises an operation control device 10, hall call buttons 31 to 3n, a hall display device, that is, an elevator hall device including a hall car position display device 21 to 2n, a hall sound generator and the like, and a car 51 to 5n. And an authentication input device 60 for authenticating an elevator user, and a collation database, that is, a database 100 of control settings (notification such as display, non-notification such as non-display setting) relating to the elevator user. .

The operation control device 10 includes a database collation interface 11 forming a connection with the database 100, an input unit 14, and a car 51 to 5 n according to a signal input from the input unit 14. An operation control unit 13 that performs operation control, a signal output from the database matching interface 11, and an operation control unit 1.
In accordance with the signal output from the control unit 3, for example, a content to be notified to the hall car position display devices 21 to 2 n, that is, a notification content determining unit for determining the content to be displayed, for example, a display content determining unit 12 is provided. In addition, when signals output from the operation control unit 10 are given to the car control devices 41 to 4n, the cars 51 to 5n corresponding to the car control devices 41 to 4n move up and down.

The database 100 includes, for example, an individual registrant management table 111 which is a management table of elevator users, and a non-information / information management table for users of the cars 51 to 5n, that is, a non-display / display management table. Non-report / report management tables for elevator managers 121 to 12n, that is, non-display / display management tables 131 to 13n are included.

The input device for authentication 60, the interface 11 for database collation, and the database 100
May be included as a part of the elevator device or as a part of the building.

However, the installation location of the authentication input device 60 must be a place where the user can drop in when using the elevator, or a device that can communicate wirelessly. For example, elevator halls, cars 51 to 5n
Among them, a mobile terminal of an elevator user, for example, a mobile phone, a fixed terminal installed in a hall or the like related to the elevator, and the like.

When the authentication input device 60 is installed in an elevator hall, the hall call buttons 21 to 2n
It is possible to authenticate the user of the elevator before registering the hall call by pressing.
, It is possible to easily perform processing of non-display of the car position, for example, non-display. However, installation on each floor increases the installation cost. For this reason, in order to reduce the installation cost, the authentication input device 60 is limited to only when entering from the lobby floor and only in the hall on the lobby floor.
May be installed.

Further, when the elevators are installed in the cars 51 to 5n, it is sufficient to install the same number of elevators without installing them on each floor, so that the installation cost can be reduced. However, call registration at the hall and car 51
Since no operation can be performed until the user calls up to 5n, the floor at which the driver gets in can be known. Therefore, the following method can be considered as an example of the countermeasure.

1) Cars 51 to 5 for hall calls
When moving n, the car position of the hall is always informed, for example, hidden, no matter who makes the hall call.

2) Since the lobby floor is not the residence floor of the elevator user, a condition is added to the above "1", and the car position is displayed on the display unit of the hall car position display device in response to a call from the lobby floor. Is displayed.

3) After the vehicle stops at the hall floor, for example, a dummy display of the car position is displayed on the display unit of the car position display device of the corresponding hall, so that the actual floor on which the passenger enters can not be identified.

Further, when an input is made from a wireless device such as a mobile phone, it can be realized by installing one receiving device as a great merit. Another advantage is that each user of the elevator has a display or a sound generator, so that the display content can be changed for each individual user. Therefore, instead of displaying on the display section of the car position display device of the hall, it is also possible to display on the display section of the mobile phone.

The authentication input device 6 arranged as described above
From 0, the data necessary for the authentication of the user of the elevator is fetched and collated with the registered data of the database 100 via the interface 11. Here, the input data for authentication includes biometric data that is a part of a human body such as a fingerprint and a retina, data for identifying an elevator user by encryption, and an elevator user transmitted from a mobile terminal. It can recognize the user of the elevator, such as recognition data and specific operations.

As described above, the database 100 includes:
Various databases are stored. Here, when the car position is notified, for example, displayed or non-notified, for example, non-display, dummy notification, for example, dummy display, will be described in detail in the following description of each embodiment. The data is compared with the data in the personal registrant management table 111 for user authentication, and it is determined whether or not the user is a registrant to the database 100. Next, if the user is a registrant, based on the car position display / non-display management tables 121 to 12n for the user and the car position display / non-display management tables 131 to 13n for the administrator, For example, a determination is made as to whether the car position is to be displayed on the display section of the hall car position display device 21 to 2n, or whether the car position is to be hidden or dummy displayed.

Next, each embodiment of the present invention, which is performed by using the apparatus configured as described above, will be described.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing the first embodiment of the present invention.

Using the flowchart of FIG. 2, the user of the elevator notifies / non-notifies (for example, display /
A case of switching between non-display) and dummy notification (for example, dummy display) will be described.

The first embodiment and a second embodiment described below correspond to the first and second aspects of the present invention.
Authentication means of the user of the elevator performed using a human body such as a fingerprint, authentication means of the user of the elevator performed using a portable terminal such as a mobile phone, elevator-related equipment installed in the hall or the car 51 to 5n For example, using the authentication input device 60 including any one of an elevator user authentication means performed using a destination floor button and an elevator user authentication means performed using a terminal via a network, The display unit of the hall car position display device 21 to 2n which is the display device, the notification unit of the in-car notification device, the sound generation unit of the hall sound generation device, the display unit of the mobile phone which is the portable terminal of the elevator user, the elevator At least one of the fixed terminals set in association with the display unit of the hall car position display device 21 to 2n, for example, The output of the position is obtained so as to stop.

An authentication input device 60 including any one of the above-described authentication means, and a database of control settings (notification such as display or non-notification such as non-display) relating to the user of the elevator. The display of the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n of the hall display device using the information content 100 and the notification content determining means for determining the display content, for example, the display content determination unit 12 in accordance with the inquiry result of the database 100. Unit, a notification unit of the in-car notification device, a voice generation unit of the landing voice generation device, a mobile terminal possessed by the user of the elevator, for example, a display of a mobile phone, at least a display of a fixed terminal set in relation to the elevator One, for example, a hall car position display device 21-2
The output of the original car position for n is stopped.

In the first embodiment shown in FIG.
The user of each of the cars 51 to 5n inputs to the device for recognizing the user provided in the hall in step 201, that is, the authentication input device 60. Here, the authentication input device 6
0, as described above, uses biometrics such as a fingerprint, a voiceprint, and a retina, or uses a mobile terminal, for example, a mobile phone to identify an individual,
For example, it uses a password. When there is this input, input information is obtained in step 202. In step 203, it is determined whether or not the information is registered in the authentication input device 60 itself or in a database of a building where the authentication input device 60 is installed or a place via a network. If registered, proceed to step 204,
If not registered, the process proceeds to step 209. In step 204, the user of the elevator is specified based on the registered contents of the database 100. In step 205, the user wants or does not want to non-report the position of the car at the landing, that is, not to display it. It is determined whether or not a dummy notification of the car position, that is, a dummy display is desired. When non-display or dummy display is desired, the process proceeds to step 206, and when not, the process proceeds to step 209. In step 206, it is confirmed whether the building manager or the person managing the elevator is permitted to hide the car position at the present time. If permitted, the process proceeds to step 207, and processing for not displaying the car position at the landing is performed. Alternatively, if partial non-display / dummy display is permitted with a condition, non-display / dummy display is performed according to the condition. If the state is not permitted, the process proceeds to step 208, informing that the current state cannot be displayed in the non-display mode or the dummy mode, and the process proceeds to step 209.

Step 209 is for non-display request.
Or if you can not hide, among other users,
For example, it is determined whether or not there is a person who wants to hide the car position on the display unit of the hall car position display device 21 to 2n. When there is another non-display applicant, the process goes to step 207 to hide the display of the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n. Otherwise, the process goes to step 210 to display the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n. The car position is displayed on the display. Then, the process ends in step 211.

However, when the hall call buttons 31 to 3n are pressed, the car 5
Until 1 to 5n arrives, it is not necessary to hide the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n on the display unit on the floor where the person who created the hall call is present. The car position may be displayed at 21 to 2n. This will be described later with reference to FIG.

In the above description, the car position display devices 21 to 2
n, display, non-display, or dummy display of the car position is performed on the display unit. For example, instead of display, non-display, and dummy display, the notification unit of the in-car notification device, or the landing sound generation device The sound generator may generate a sound indicating the car position, may not generate the corresponding sound, or may generate a dummy sound corresponding to a position different from the original car position.

When the user of the elevator is authenticated by the authentication input device 60, an individual may be authenticated. For example, a plurality of persons may be defined as one group, and the group may be authenticated. Good.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a second embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, description will be given of a case where the display of the landing car position is hidden using a portable telephone.

The second embodiment corresponds to the first and second aspects of the present invention as described above, and also corresponds to the fourth and fifth aspects of the present invention.

That is, in the second embodiment,
At least one of the output destination for hiding the original car position and the output destination for performing a dummy display of the car position, for example, the output destination for non-display, is provided by the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n, which are hall display devices. The display unit, the notification unit of the in-car notification device, the sound generation unit of the hall sound generation device, the display unit of the mobile phone that is the mobile terminal of the elevator user, and the display unit of the fixed terminal set in relation to the elevator At least one, for example, a hall car position display device 21-2n
And the output destination to display the original car position,
This is different from the display units of the above-described hall car position display devices 21 to 2n.

In particular, the original car position under the predetermined condition is displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone of the person who made the call registration,
In this case, for example, the display unit of the fixed terminal, the sound generation unit of the hall sound generation device on the floor where the hall call registration is performed, and the like are displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone of the person who registered the call.

In the second embodiment, starting from step 300, in step 301, communication is performed from the portable terminal of the user of the elevator, that is, the portable telephone to the receiving device provided in the hall. In step 302, personal authentication is performed, and in step 303, the hall car position display device 21
The database 1 determines whether or not the person is permitted to hide the car position on the display units 2 to 2n.
This is performed by comparing with 00. If it is a non-displayable person, the process proceeds to step 304; if it is not non-displayable, the process proceeds to step 314.

In step 304, it is determined whether or not the display of the car position display devices 21 to 2n is permitted to hide the car position.
If the scene is non-displayable, the process proceeds to step 305. If the scene cannot be hidden, the process proceeds to step 307, and a selection screen such as “Cannot be hidden at this time. OK, do not understand” is displayed on the display unit of the mobile phone, and “OK” is given in step 308. When the selection is made, the process proceeds to step 314, and when "not acknowledge" is selected, the process proceeds to step 309 to stop the call registration.

When proceeding to step 305, a selection screen is displayed as "Do you want to hide the car position on the display section of the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n? Yes, No." If "yes" is selected, the process proceeds to step 310, and if "no" is selected, the process proceeds to step 314.

When proceeding to step 310, a selection screen is displayed on the display section of the mobile phone, "Do you want to display the car position on this screen? Yes, No."
Is selected, the process proceeds to step 312, where the car position is displayed only on the screen of the mobile phone. In this embodiment, the description is for the case where the car position information is disclosed between the registrants who wished to hide the car position. Even if the registrant wishes to hide the car position, the display is not displayed to other persons. In such an example, the display content on the screen of the mobile phone is also limited so as not to display the destination of another registrant. If "No" is selected in step 311, the process proceeds to step 313, and no display is performed on the screen of the mobile phone. Then, the process proceeds to step 321. Finally, the screen of the display unit of the mobile phone remains displayed.
The non-display screen remains non-display, and step 322 is executed.
To end.

The process proceeds from step 303, step 306, or step 308 to step 314, where it is determined whether the previous elevator user and the current elevator user are registrants desiring non-display. In the case of the applicant, the process proceeds to step 315, and non-display is performed on the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n, and step 31 is performed.
If not, the process proceeds to step 316, where a display is performed on the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n. The process also proceeds to step 317, and the elevator arrives at the hall floor. Then the passenger gets into the car.
In step 318, if there is a registrant who is currently using the non-display request, the process proceeds to step 319, and the process proceeds to step 321 according to the display content of the registrant. If there is no registrant currently using the non-display request, Proceed to step 320 and proceed to step 321. Then, at step 321, the display /
The non-display contents are maintained, and the process ends in step 322.

Steps 305 and 3 in FIG.
The selection is made in step 10, but as another method, two items can be selected collectively, or step 3
There are various methods such as giving only one of the options in step 05 or step 310, displaying the other options, displaying the selection screen for the first time, and setting the one selected in the first time from the second time on. Can be adopted.

In the second embodiment shown in FIG. 3 described above, the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n and the mobile phone of the user of the elevator have been described. There are various output destinations such as a mobile phone of a user of the elevator who desires non-display, a mobile phone of a user who does not display the mobile phone, a mobile phone connected via a network, and the like.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a third embodiment of the present invention.

The third embodiment shown in FIG. 4 corresponds to the invention according to claim 3 of the present application, and is an apparatus for performing non-reporting of a car position, for example, non-display, or performing dummy notification of a car position, for example, a dummy display, For example, the authentication input device 60 for hiding the car position is installed in the car or in a place that moves in synchronization with the car, and the display units of the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n and the notification unit of the in-car notification device are provided. At least one of a sound generator of a hall sound generator, a portable terminal carried by a user of an elevator, for example, a display of a mobile phone, and a display of a fixed terminal set in relation to the elevator, for example, a hall car position display. It is a flowchart at the time of performing non-display corresponding to the display part of 21-2n.

As described above, when the authentication input devices 60 are provided in the cars 51 to 5n, the number of devices to be installed can be reduced as compared with the case where the authentication input devices 60 are installed on each floor. . However, since the user of the elevator is authenticated for the first time after the cars 51 to 5n arrive at the boarding floor, it is difficult to control the display up to that time.

In the third embodiment, step 400
, And in step 401, the hall call button 31
When it is detected whether or not .about.3n is pressed, that is, when a hall call is detected, in step 402, it is determined whether there is a non-display applicant who has used the elevator last time or another non-display applicant who is currently using the elevator. Judgment is made, and if not, proceed to Step 404;
Proceeding to step 03, in this step 403, a display taking into account the previous or other non-displaying user who is currently using the display is performed on the display units of the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n. The easiest way to think about it is to keep it hidden if it's hidden,
Dummy display can be realized by performing display that becomes a dummy display for each other. In addition, the car position display devices 21 to 2n that perform dummy display and non-display may have the same display content for each floor, or may display different contents.

At step 404, the current car position is determined, and if the car is stopped at the same floor as the hall floor, the process proceeds to step 405. If the car is stopped at the same floor as the hall floor and not displayed. Proceeds to step 407, and proceeds to step 406 when the floor is different from the hall floor. When proceeding to step 406, there is an option at step 408 to indicate whether or not to display the car position toward the hall floor. One is “display” in step 409, and the other is “non-display” in step 410. Here, whether to make “display” in step 409 or “non-display” in step 410 is set in advance, for example, in consideration of the usage status of the cars 51 to 5n. When the process proceeds from step 405 to step 411, or when “display” is set in advance and the display is selected in step 408 and the process proceeds to step 411 from step 409, the elevator arrives at the hall floor in step 411. In step 412, the user of the elevator is authenticated in the car, and in step 413, it is determined whether the person is non-displayable. If the person is possible, the hall car position display devices 21 to 21 are determined in step 414. The dummy display is performed on the 2n display unit. If the person is not a possible person, the process proceeds to step 421 with the hall car position display devices 21 to 2n being displayed, arrives at the destination floor, and ends in step 422. Also,
When the process proceeds from step 407 to step 416, or when “non-display” is set in advance and the process proceeds from step 410 to step 416, the vehicle arrives at the hall floor in step 416 and the inside of the car is determined in step 417. In step 418, it is determined whether or not the person is a non-displayable person. If the person is non-displayable, non-display is maintained. Otherwise, display is performed. And arrive at the destination floor, step 42
End at 2.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a fourth embodiment of the present invention.

The fourth embodiment corresponds to the invention according to claim 7 of the present application. FIG. 5 shows a dummy notification of a car position, for example, a dummy ride floor, a dummy destination floor, a dummy destination floor when a dummy display is performed. 6 is a flowchart when the user of the cars 51 to 5n specifies at least one of the stop floor and the dummy passing floor, for example, the dummy boarding floor and the dummy getting off floor.

In the fifth embodiment, the process starts at step 500 and enters a hall call creation procedure at step 501. In step 502, the true destination floor, that is, the destination floor, is entered, and in step 503, it is determined. At step 504, it is confirmed whether the elevator user who has entered the destination floor is a registered person. If the user is a registrant, the process proceeds to step 505;
Proceed to 08.

At step 505, the dummy ride floor and the dummy descend floor can be input, and the respective inputs are made. In step 506, it is checked whether or not the inputted floor overlaps the true destination floor of another registrant who is currently using the elevator. If they do not overlap, the designated dummy floor is determined in step 511, and if they overlap, the process proceeds to step 507, and the process proceeds to step 511 through the process of changing the dummy floor.
