As the switching operation units 506a and 506b, for example, push button switches can be used, but other forms may be used as long as they have a function of detecting an artificial operation input. 6 to 10 are mainly described in relation to the state of the embodiment shown in FIG. 3, but the contents of the explanation also apply to the embodiment shown in FIG.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of a configuration for collectively switching destination floor display contents of the destination floor registration button 302. Since each destination floor registration button 302 has the same structure, only a part of the destination floor registration buttons will be described. FIG. 6A shows a part of the destination floor registration button 302 of the operation panel 110 in the state shown in FIG. In the state shown in FIG. 6A, among the destination floor displays included in the destination floor registration button, a character display 602a "" indicating the destination floors belonging to the first group, for example, the destination floors corresponding to the first floor and the sixth floor. Only 1 ”, character display 602b“ 6 ”, etc. are visible to the passenger of the car 104. An opaque surface plate 604 is provided on the front side of the character displays 602a, 602b, etc., that is, on the interior side of the car 104, and the character displays 602a and 602b pass through openings 606a and 606b formed in the surface plate 604, respectively. Visible to passengers in the car 104. FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an example of a cross section of FIG. 6A at a straight line portion passing between the centers of the character displays 602a and 602b illustrated in FIG. A switch 608a and a switch 608b are provided on the back surface of the member on which the character display 602a is formed and the member on which the character display 602b is formed. The switches 608a and 608b detect that the character display 602a and the character display 602b are pressed, respectively. The switches 608a and 608b are connected to the circuit board 610, and the pressed state of the character display 602a and the character display 602b detected by the switch 608a, the switch 608b, etc. is transmitted to the circuit board 610. The state of the switching operation unit 306 is also transmitted to the circuit board 610. Here, the member on which the character display 602a is formed is connected to the member on which the character display 602a ′ is formed, and the member on which the character display 602b is formed is connected to the member on which the character display 602b ′ is formed. When an operation for switching the destination floor display content is input to the switching operation unit 306, the member is collectively slid in the P direction shown in FIG. 6B by the display content switching unit (not shown). In order to slide the member on which the character display indicating the destination designation floor of the car 104 is formed, any appropriate sliding mechanism known in this technical field can be used.

  When the member on which the character display indicating the destination designated floor is formed slides in the P direction, the destination floor display included in the destination floor registration button 302 of the operation panel 110 shown in FIG. As shown in c), they are switched at once. That is, in the state shown in FIG. 6C, among the destination floor displays included in the destination floor registration button, the second group hidden by the opaque surface plate 604 in the state shown in FIG. Only the character display 602a ′ “11” and the character display 602b ′ “16” representing the destination floors corresponding to the 11th floor and the 16th floor are visible to the passengers of the car 104. A character display 602a “1” and characters representing destination floors belonging to the first group, for example, destination floors corresponding to the first floor and the sixth floor, which were visible to the passenger in the state shown in FIG. The indication 602b “6” is hidden by the opaque surface plate 604 and is invisible to the passengers in the car 104. In this state, the appearance of the destination floor registration button 302 on the operation panel 110 is as shown in FIG. FIG. 6D is a diagram showing an example of a cross section of FIG. 6C in a straight line portion passing between the centers of the character displays 602a ′ and 602b ′ shown in FIG. Except for the fact that the positions of the formed members are different, this is the same as FIG. In this state, the switch 608a and the switch 608b detect that the character display 602a 'and the character display 602b' are pressed, respectively. The pressed state of the character display 602a ', the character display 602b', etc. detected by the switch 608a, the switch 608b, etc. is transmitted to the circuit board 610.

  In the configuration example shown in FIG. 6, the destination floor display contents of the destination floor registration button 302 are formed in a convex shape as shown in FIG. The floor display can be recognized. The destination floor display content may be formed in a concave shape. Further, by forming the contour of the destination floor display contents of the destination floor registration button 302 in a convex shape as shown in FIG. 7B, a visually impaired passenger can recognize each destination floor display. Can do. The outline of the destination floor display content may be formed in a concave shape. Furthermore, by forming the braille notation of the contents corresponding to each destination floor display of the destination floor registration button 302 so as to be superimposed as shown by white circles in FIG. The destination floor display can be recognized. The visibility of the destination floor display content is hardly impaired by making the braille notation transparent or making it a color that matches the destination floor display.

  As described above, for example, the switch 608a has a function of detecting that the character display 602a is pressed and detecting that the character display 602a 'is pressed. Therefore, it is impossible to determine whether the character display 602a is pressed or the character display 602a 'is pressed only by the pressed state of the character display transmitted from the switch 608a to the circuit board 610. Therefore, in consideration of the state of the switching operation unit 306 transmitted to the circuit board 610, the character display (destination registration button) pressed by the passenger of the car 104, that is, the designated destination floor is determined. The operation for determining the destination floor will be described later with reference to FIG.

  The example of the configuration for switching the destination floor display contents of the destination floor registration button 302 has been described above with reference to FIG. 6 with respect to some destination floor registration buttons. However, the slide direction for switching the destination floor display of the two groups is not necessarily limited. The direction is not limited to the P direction shown in FIG. The slide direction for switching the destination floor display of the two groups can be, for example, the vertical direction or the diagonal direction, depending on the positional relationship of the destination floor display of the two groups. This applies not only to the embodiment shown in FIG. 6 but also to all embodiments described below.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of a functional block diagram for explaining the operation of determining the destination floor designated by the passenger of the car 104. The outputs of the plurality of button press detection units 802 are connected to the destination floor determination unit 804. In the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the button press detection unit 802 is a switch 608, and the destination floor determination unit 804 is mounted on the circuit board 610. In addition, the state of the switching operation unit 306 is input to the destination floor determination unit 804. The case where the button press detection unit # 1 (802) is the switch 608a shown in FIG. 6 will be described as an example. As described above, the switch 608a detects that the character display 602a corresponding to the first floor is pressed, and detects that the character display 602a 'corresponding to the 11th floor is pressed. In other words, the destination registration button whose pressed state is detected by the switch 608a is the character display 602a or the character display 602a '. When the destination floor determination unit 804 receives the pressed state detection signal from the switch 608 a, the destination floor determination unit 804 determines the destination floor designated by the passenger of the car 104 according to the state of the switching operation unit 306 input from the switching operation unit 306.
