Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator information display system capable of displaying unique information to be provided to a specific user on a display means in a car.

  This type of elevator information display system increases the added value of an elevator by providing desired information to passengers in the car. As an example, if passengers are authenticated by sensors, etc. at the landing, and the arriving car is unmanned, specific information for authenticated passengers (specific users) is displayed on the display means in the car, and the car A technique for controlling such unique information not to be displayed on the display means when there is a passenger in the vehicle is conventionally known (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  As another conventional example, when the receiver receives ID information transmitted from a passenger's portable information terminal, unique information such as an advertisement according to the passenger's attribute is displayed on the display means in the car. An elevator information display system is known (for example, see Patent Document 2).

JP 2007-276961 A JP 2002-104747 A

  In the prior art described in Patent Document 1, a message message or the like is exemplified as specific information for a specific user displayed on the display means in the car. However, when specific information with a large amount of information is displayed. The total display time becomes longer. For this reason, when trying to display unique information that is useful to the user and has a large amount of information on the display means in the car, the display cannot be completed within the travel time from the departure floor to the destination floor. Will increase. In other words, with this conventional technique, there is a high possibility that specific information with a large amount of information will be inevitably provided, so it is difficult for the user to provide highly satisfactory information.

  On the other hand, in the prior art described in Patent Document 2, the travel time required for the car to arrive at the destination floor from the departure floor is calculated in advance, and the unique information whose total display time is not longer than this travel time. Since (advertisements) are selectively displayed on the display means in the car, it is easy to display the unique information to the end within the travel time of the car. However, in such a conventional technique, since selection of specific information to be displayed is performed regardless of the user's desire, it is still difficult for the user to provide highly satisfactory information.

  The present invention has been made in view of the actual situation of the prior art, and its purpose is to provide specific information for a specific user that can be displayed in the car, and the time that the passenger is using the car. It is an object of the present invention to provide an elevator information display system that can be easily displayed to the end.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an elevator information display system capable of displaying unique information to be provided to a specific user on a display means in a car. Passenger authentication means for authenticating whether or not the vehicle is a user, in-car unattended determination means for determining whether or not the inside of the car is unmanned, and information data including specific information for a specific user Display information storage means for storing a group, provided information selection means for selecting the specific information to be provided from the information data group, and distance data for storing a calculation standard for the travel distance of the car Storage means, and when the passenger authentication means authenticates a passenger on the hall and the unmanned in-car determination means determines that the inside of the car is unattended, the providing information selection means Thus, it is possible to select the specific information to be displayed on the display means, and to adjust the travel time required for the car to arrive at the destination floor from the departure floor. The car is decelerated to a predetermined traveling speed so that the traveling time does not become shorter than the total display time of the unique information.

  In such an elevator information display system, when a specific user authenticated by passenger authentication means gets into an unmanned passenger car and registers a destination floor, the specific information for the specific user is displayed in the passenger car. Not only can it be displayed on the means, but by adjusting the travel time of the car in consideration of the total display time of the specific information (lowering the travel speed), it is possible to set the travel time so that the specific information can be displayed to the end. It is like that. As a result, the specific user can see the unique information for himself / herself displayed on the display means until the last time the car in the private room arrives at the destination floor.

  In the elevator information display system described above, the adjustment process is selectively permitted based on a signal indicating whether or not the specific user authenticated by the passenger authentication means requests the adjustment process of the travel time of the car. With the travel adjustment selection means, the specific user can select not to receive the specific information in preference to shortening the travel time even when the specific information can be provided in the car. Become. That is, since it is possible to independently select whether to display the unique information or to reduce the travel time according to the situation, it is easy for a specific user to use.

  In addition, in the elevator information display system described above, when it is determined that the use frequency of the car is high, a travel adjustment restricting unit that restricts the travel time adjustment processing from being executed is provided. The convenience of the entire passenger who uses the elevator can be prioritized over the provided service.

  According to the elevator information display system of the present invention, when it is determined that the passenger waiting on the landing is a specific user and the passenger in the car is unmanned, the specific information for the specific user Can be displayed on the display means in the car, and by adjusting the travel time of the car in consideration of the total display time of the specific information, it is possible to set the travel time so that the unique information can be displayed to the end. It has become. As a result, this specific user will be able to see the specific information for himself / herself displayed on the display means until the car in the private room arrives at the destination floor. The degree of satisfaction of a specific user for the information providing service can be increased. In addition, when there is a passenger in the car, since the unique information is not displayed on the display means, it is possible to protect the privacy of the specific user.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings. First, an elevator information display system according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator hall on each floor of the building has a personal authentication device (any one of 1a to 1d), a car call button (any one of 2a to 2d), and a display (any of 3a to 3d). Or). For example, an elevator hall on the first floor is provided with a personal authentication device 1a, a car call button 2a, and a display 3a. The personal authentication devices 1a to 1d perform personal authentication using an IC card or the like, and determine whether or not a passenger at the hall is a specific user. The car call buttons 2a to 2d perform call registration when pressed, and generate a signal for calling the car 10 to the landing. The indicators 3a to 3d display position information of the car 10 and the like. On the other hand, the car 10 is provided with a destination floor button 8 for registering a destination floor when pressed, and a display device 9 capable of displaying position information of the car 10 and various unique information. Further, the car 10 is provided with a load detector 21 that detects a load in the car 10 and an in-car camera 22 that captures an image in the car 10.

  The car 10 is connected to a counterweight 12 via a main rope 11, and the main rope 11 is wound around a sheave of the hoisting machine 13. The hoisting machine 13 is controlled by the elevator control device 4. That is, the speed control unit 4a of the elevator control device 4 controls the rotation operation of the hoisting machine 13 in accordance with signals output from the hall car call buttons 2a to 2d and the destination floor button 8 in the car 10. As a result, the car 10 is moved up and down, and the position information of the car 10 is displayed on the display devices 3a to 3d and the display device 9.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the elevator control device 4, the personal authentication devices 1a to 1d, the car call buttons 2a to 2d, the destination floor button 8, the display device 9 and the like are electrically connected. The information display control device 5 is provided, and the information display control device 5 can select information to be displayed on the display device 9 and adjust the travel time of the car 10. The information display control device 5 includes a display information storage unit 5a in which various information data groups that can be displayed on the display device 9 are stored, an inter-floor distance storage unit 5b in which the inter-floor distance of the building is stored, And a provision information selection unit 5c for selecting information to be displayed on the display device 9 from the information data group. The information data group is for a specific user who is authenticated by the personal authentication devices 1a to 1d. Unique information (video information and audio information) is included.

  Further, in this embodiment, when the personal authentication devices 1a to 1d authenticate that the passenger on the hall is a specific user and determine that the inside of the car 10 is unmanned, information display control is performed. The provision information selection unit 5c of the device 5 not only selects specific information for a specific user to be displayed on the display device 9, but also adjusts the travel time required for the car 10 to arrive at the destination floor from the departure floor. To do. Although details of the adjustment process will be described later, when the adjustment process is executed, the car 10 is moved to a predetermined travel so that the travel time of the car 10 does not become shorter than the total display time of the selected unique information. Slow down to speed. Whether the car 10 is unmanned is determined based on the detection data of the load detector 21 and the image data of the car camera 22.

  Next, the processing procedure of the information display system performed in the present embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG.

  In this flowchart, first, in process S1, it is assumed that a passenger at a landing (for example, the first floor) has been authenticated by a personal authentication device (for example, 1a). In the next process S2, the floor (departure floor) of the authenticated passenger (specific user) is determined by registering the car call button (for example, 2a) at the hall. Then, in the next process S3, it is determined whether or not the inside of the car 10 is unmanned. If it is determined that the car 10 is unattended, the process proceeds to process S4. If it is determined that the car 10 is not unattended, the process is performed. Proceed to S8.

  Although omitted in FIG. 2, if the passenger at the landing is not authenticated by the personal authentication device in the process S1, the process proceeds from the process S2 to the process S8.

  In the process S8, the passenger enters the car 10 that has arrived on the floor, and the destination floor button 8 is pressed, so the destination floor is registered. In the next process S9, general information for an unspecified number of people (for example, position information of the car 10) is selected as information to be displayed on the display device 9. Then, after the traveling speed of the car 10 is set to the rated speed V0 in the next process S10, the process proceeds to process S11 to start the elevator traveling (up or down). That is, when the process proceeds from the process S10 to the process S11, the car 10 is controlled to travel at the rated speed V0 by the speed control unit 4a of the elevator control device 4.

  On the other hand, if the determination in the process S3 is “Yes”, the destination floor (for example, the third floor) is registered by the pressing operation of the destination floor button 8 in the process S4, and then the processes of the processes S5 to S7 are sequentially performed. To step S11, the elevator travel (up or down) is started. That is, the case where the process proceeds from the process S2 to the process S4 through the process S3 is a case where an authenticated passenger (specific user) enters the unmanned passenger car 10 and registers the destination floor. In this case, after processing S4, first, in processing S5, referring to the data stored in the inter-story distance storage unit 5b, the inter-story distance from the location floor registered with the car call button to the destination floor is calculated. The travel distance L from the departure floor to the destination floor of the car 10 is acquired. For example, if the departure floor is the first floor and the destination floor is the third floor, the distance between the first floor and the third floor is the travel distance L. Next, the process proceeds to step S6, where the provided information selection unit 5c selects the authenticated specific user-specific information from the information data group stored in the display information storage unit 5a, and displays it in the display device 9. While displaying, the total display time T of the specific information is acquired. Then, in the next process S7, the provided information selection unit 5c obtains the average traveling speed Va at which the time required for the traveling distance L to move becomes the total display time T from the calculation formula (Va = L / T), thereby obtaining the car. Adjustment processing is performed to make the traveling time required until 10 arrives at the destination floor equal to the total display time T. In FIG. 2, the speed V when the car 10 is moving at a constant speed is shown as the process S7, and this speed V is slightly larger than the average traveling speed Va as will be described later.

  The travel time adjustment process will be described in detail. The total display time T of the unique information selected in process S6 is stored in advance in the display information storage unit 5a. For example, as shown in FIG. The total display time T2 of the unique information B is about twice as long as the display time T1. If the specific information A is selected in step S6, the car 10 departs the departure floor and moves to the destination floor if the car 10 is driven at a speed V1 during constant speed movement except during acceleration and deceleration. Since the travel time required for arrival is equivalent to the total display time T1 of the unique information A, the passenger (specific user) immediately arrives at the destination floor immediately after seeing the unique information A for the passenger in the car 10 to the end. You can get down. However, since acceleration / deceleration is also included in the traveling time of the car 10, the speed V1 is set to a value slightly larger than the average traveling speed (L / T1). Further, when the unique information B is selected in the process S6, if the car 10 is traveled at a speed V2 that is lower than the speed V1 when moving at a constant speed, the travel time is equal to the total display time T2 of the unique information B. Therefore, the passenger (specific user) can get down to the destination floor immediately after seeing the unique information B for himself / herself in the car 10 to the end. Also in this case, the speed V2 is set to a value slightly larger than the average travel speed (L / T2).

  If the traveling time of the car 10 is set within the total display time T of the unique information displayed on the display device 9, the unique information can be seen to the end in the car 10, but the traveling If the time is set unnecessarily long, other users are inconvenienced. Therefore, it is preferable to set the travel time to be approximately equal to the total display time T as described above.

  As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, when the passenger (specific user) authenticated by the personal authentication devices 1a to 1d gets into the unmanned passenger car 10 and registers the destination floor, Not only can the unique information for the specific user be displayed on the display device 9 in the car 10, but also by adjusting the travel time of the car 10 in consideration of the total display time T of the unique information. The travel time can be set so that the information can be displayed to the end. As a result, the specific user can see the unique information for himself / herself displayed on the display device 9 until the car 10 in the private room arrives at the destination floor. It is possible to increase the satisfaction level of specific users for the information providing service. In addition, when there is a passenger in the car 10, since the unique information is not displayed on the display device 9, the privacy of the specific user can be protected.

  Next, an elevator information display system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. However, in the configuration diagram of FIG. 4, portions corresponding to those in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, in the second embodiment, a speed setting command output from the provided information selection unit 5c to the speed control unit 4a is provided between the information display control device 5 and the elevator control device 4. A selection circuit section 6 that can be selectively cut off is interposed. This selection circuit unit 6 permits the adjustment processing of the traveling time of the car 10 only when the passenger (specific user) who is authenticated at the landing requests the provision of the unique information, and otherwise, the provision information selection unit The speed setting command from 5c is cut off so that the adjustment process is not executed.

  That is, in the present embodiment, when a first input operation is performed on the personal authentication devices 1a to 1d and the like at the landing, the first speed adjustment permission signal is notified from the landing to the selection circuit unit 6. ing. Further, when a second input operation is performed on the destination floor button 8 or the like in the car 10, a second speed adjustment permission signal is notified from the car 10 to the selection circuit unit 6. The selection circuit unit 6 sets the connection switch 6a between the provision information selection unit 5c and the speed control unit 4a to ON only when the first and second speed adjustment permission signals are notified, and otherwise. The connection switch 6a is set to OFF.

  Therefore, when the passenger requests specific information as a specific user, the first and second input operations are performed to notify the selection circuit unit 6 of the first and second speed adjustment permission signals. As a result, the selection circuit unit 6 performs a switching operation for setting the connection switch 6a to ON. As a result, the speed setting command output from the provided information selection unit 5c is input to the speed control unit 4a without being interrupted, so that the car can be used according to the total display time T of the specific information for the specific user. The process of adjusting 10 travel time becomes possible. However, if the first and second input operations are not performed, the selection switch 6 is not notified of the first and second speed adjustment permission signals, so that the connection switch 6a remains set to OFF. In this case, the speed setting command from the provision information selection unit 5c is blocked and is not input to the speed control unit 4a, so that the process of adjusting the travel time of the car 10 is not performed.

  Next, the processing procedure of the information display system performed in the second embodiment will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. However, also in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the description of the same part as in FIG. 2 is omitted as appropriate.

  In this flowchart, a process S1 for authenticating passengers at the hall using a personal authentication device, and a process for determining the floor (departure floor) of an authenticated passenger (specific user) by registering the car call button at the hall After performing S2, it progresses to step S21 and it is determined whether 1st input operation of producing | generating a 1st speed adjustment permission signal was performed. If the determination result in the process S21 is “No”, that is, if the first speed adjustment permission signal is not notified from the hall where the specific user is present to the selection circuit unit 6, the process proceeds to the process S8 to register the destination floor. After that, in process S9, general information for the unspecified majority is selected as information to be displayed on the display device 9 in the car 10, and in process S10, the traveling speed of the car 10 is set to the rated speed V0. . If the passenger at the hall is not authenticated by the personal authentication device in process S1, the process proceeds from process S2 to process S8.

  On the other hand, if the determination result in step S21 is “Yes”, that is, if the first speed adjustment permission signal is notified from the hall where the specific user is present to the selection circuit unit 6, the process proceeds to step S3, where the car is moved. It is determined whether or not 10 is unattended. If it is determined that the car 10 is unattended, the process proceeds to step S4. If it is determined that the car 10 is not unattended, the process proceeds to step S8.

  In the process S4, the specific user who has entered the car 10 registers the destination floor with the destination floor button 8, and in the next process S41, a second input operation is performed in which a second speed adjustment permission signal is generated. It is determined whether or not. When the determination result in the process S41 is “No”, that is, when the second speed adjustment permission signal is not notified to the selection circuit unit 6, the specific user in the car 10 provides specific information for some reason. It is determined that the selection has been made without requesting, and the process proceeds to step S9. In this case, general information for an unspecified number of people is displayed on the display device 9 in the car 10.

  On the other hand, when the determination result in the process S41 is “Yes”, that is, when the second speed adjustment permission signal is notified from the car 10 where the specific user is present to the selection circuit unit 6, each of the processes S5 to S7 is performed. Processing is performed sequentially. As described above, in the process S5, the travel distance L from the departure floor to the destination floor of the car 10 is obtained, and in the next process S6, specific information for a specific user is selected and displayed on the display device 9, The total display time T of the specific information is acquired. Further, in the next process S7, by calculating the average travel speed Va at which the travel time of the travel distance L becomes the total display time T, the travel time required until the car 10 arrives at the destination floor is displayed as the total display time. Adjustment processing to make it equal to T is performed. As a result, the specific user can see the unique information for himself / herself displayed on the display device 9 until the car 10 in the private room arrives at the destination floor. FIG. 5 also shows the speed V when the car 10 moves at a constant speed as step S7, and this speed V is slightly larger than the average travel speed Va.

  As described above, in the second embodiment of the present invention, it is shown whether or not the passenger (specific user) authenticated by the personal authentication devices 1a to 1d desires adjustment processing of the travel time of the car 10. A selection circuit unit 6 that selectively permits the adjustment processing based on the first and second speed adjustment permission signals is provided. Therefore, even when the specific user can be provided with the specific information in the car 10, the specific user can select not to receive the specific information in preference to shortening the traveling time. That is, since it is possible to independently select whether to display the unique information or to reduce the travel time according to the situation, it is easy for a specific user to use.

  In the second embodiment described above, when the first speed adjustment permission signal from the hall and the second speed adjustment permission signal from the car 10 are both notified to the selection circuit unit 6, the car 10 However, it may be simplified so that the adjustment process is permitted if any one of the speed adjustment permission signals is notified to the selection circuit unit 6. In this case, the processing procedure is obtained by omitting one of the processing S21 and the processing S41 in the flowchart of FIG.

  Next, an elevator information display system according to a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. However, in the configuration diagram of FIG. 6, portions corresponding to those in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the third embodiment includes travel adjustment limiting means 7 that is connected to the selection circuit unit 6 and that allows the connection switch 6 a to be forcibly set to OFF. This travel adjustment restriction means 7 is for restricting the travel time adjustment process from being executed when it is determined that the frequency of use of the car 10 is high, and for example, elevator operation information is collected. It is provided in the operation management device. Specifically, when it is determined from the operation information data that the frequency of use of the car 10 has reached a predetermined busy level, the travel adjustment limiting means 7 outputs a cutoff command signal to the selection circuit unit 6. . The selection circuit unit 6 that has received this shut-off command signal sets the connection switch 6a to the forced off state. This forced off state is a state in which the connection switch 6a is not turned on even when the first and second speed adjustment permission signals are notified, and the usage frequency of the car 10 is at a predetermined quiet level. The forced-off state is canceled when it is determined that it has been reached. That is, when the car 10 is frequently used, the connection switch 6a is forcibly turned off by the shut-off command signal of the travel adjustment limiting means 7, and the specific user requests to provide specific information. Even in this case, the speed setting command from the provision information selection unit 5c is blocked and is not input to the speed control unit 4a, so that the process of adjusting the traveling time of the car 10 is not performed.

  When the monitoring center that remotely monitors the operation of the elevator performs the operation management work, the cut-off command signal is sent from the travel adjustment limiting means 7 provided in the monitoring center via the communication line. 6 may be transmitted.

  As described above, the third embodiment of the present invention includes the travel adjustment limiting means 7 that limits the travel time adjustment processing so that it is not executed when it is determined that the frequency of use of the car 10 is high. Yes. Therefore, priority can be given to the convenience of the whole passenger who uses an elevator rather than the information provision service with respect to a specific user. And the structure provided with the travel adjustment restriction | limiting means 7 which restrict | limits so that adjustment processing of travel time may not be performed when it is judged that the frequency of use of the car 10 demonstrated in this embodiment example is high is 1st Embodiment. It can be combined in various forms, for example, applied to the configuration of the example or the second embodiment.
