Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-92042 JP 2002-129793 A

In the conventional elevators as described above, after the entrance door of a condominium or the like is unlocked by a resident or a visitor, a landing call service is enabled only on the corresponding floor.
This is to prevent unauthorized use of the elevator when a person other than a resident or a visitor illegally enters before the elevator door is closed.

  Residents temporarily cancel the elevator hall call service disconnection by authentication such as a non-contact key. Visitors contact the residents through the intercom from the entrance of the apartment, and the residents check the visitors and give instructions to unlock the entrance door from the dwelling board. The temporary release of the cut is performed.

  If the distance between the entrance and the elevator hall is far away, security may not be maintained if the elevator hall call service is temporarily disconnected when the entrance door is unlocked. There may be a device installed.

  In order to authenticate visitors, a numeric keypad is installed in the elevator hall, and when the same room number is operated as when the entrance door is unlocked, the elevator hall call service disconnection is temporarily released.

  At this time, if there is no time limit for temporary release of service disconnection, if a person other than the customer operates the same room number when the elevator is not used due to waiting at the entrance, etc. There was a problem that the release was temporarily released.

  In addition, when a time limit is set, if there are multiple visitors, etc., if another customer operates another room number first, and the numeric keypad operation for a given room number is delayed, the set time limit is set. As a result, there has been a problem that it is necessary to return to the entrance and perform the operation again.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator control device that makes it easy for a visitor to use an elevator while ensuring security.

  The elevator control device according to the present invention is the same as the numeric keypad described above by using the numeric keypad in the elevator hall on the entrance floor within a predetermined time after unlocking the entrance door by operating the numeric keypad or reading the non-contact key at the entrance of an apartment. When an operation is performed or when a non-contact key is read, the hall call service disconnection of the elevator is temporarily canceled and the hall call is automatically registered.

  Since the elevator control device according to the present invention is configured as described above, if the operation of the elevator hall numeric keypad is not performed within a predetermined time after the entrance door is unlocked, the hall call service is temporarily disconnected. Security can be maintained by disabling the release.

  In addition, after the resident confirms the visitor and unlocks the entrance door, even if the elevator hall numeric keypad may not be operated within a predetermined time, it is not necessary for the visitor to return to the entrance again and repeat the operation. Service to visitors is improved.
