  In addition, an operation screen for destination floor registration, so-called car call registration, is displayed on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61, and a car call input operation of a desired floor of the passenger on this screen is accepted, In accordance with this input operation, the destination floor registration by the elevator control device 1 is performed.

  Moreover, although not shown in figure, the platform display apparatus similar to the display apparatus 6 is installed also in the platform of each floor. In this case, the hall display device notifies the elevator operating status and information on the passing floor.

  Also, if the elevator has a function to accept destination floor registration at the landing, an operation screen for destination floor registration is displayed on this landing display device, and input of destination floor registration of a desired floor on this screen is performed. The operation is accepted, and the destination floor registration by the elevator control device 1 is performed in accordance with the input operation.

  As described above, the display device 6 having the flat panel display 61 on which the touch panel sensor is installed is convenient for passengers, but an unspecified number of people touch the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 many times. Therefore, bacteria etc. adhere to the operation surface and are unsanitary.

  For this reason, this embodiment is characterized in that the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 is kept clean by sterilizing the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 by the sterilization device 62 as necessary.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of the elevator control apparatus for the elevator according to the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 3, the elevator control device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a control unit 11 that controls the operation of the entire device, a storage device 12, a communication interface 13, an operation control unit 14, an operation count unit 15, and a sterilization necessity determination.

  The storage device 12 is a storage medium such as a non-volatile memory, and includes a communication interface 13, an operation control unit 14, an operation count counting unit 15, a sterilization necessity determination unit 16, a sterilization control processing unit 17, a timing unit 18, and a display control unit. The program for the processing operation by 19 is stored.

The communication interface 13 sends a drive signal to the hoisting machine 2 and performs communication processing with the display device 6.
The operation control unit 14 controls the operation of the car 3 by driving the hoisting machine 2 according to call registration. Each time the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is operated, the operation count counting unit 15 stores the value obtained by increasing the count value of the operation count in the storage device 12, so that the operation count of the flat panel display 61 is obtained. Count.

  The sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the flat panel display 61 needs to be sterilized when the number of operations counted by the operation number counting unit 15 reaches a specified value that requires sterilization of the flat panel display 61.

  The sterilization control processing unit 17 operates the sterilization device 62 of the display device 6 to operate the flat panel display 61 when the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 needs to be sterilized. The face glass is heated to sterilize the operation face glass.

  When the sterilization by the sterilization device 62 operated by the sterilization control processing unit 17 is finished, the display control unit 19 displays this on the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 or a message for displaying guidance to passengers. Is displayed on the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6.

Next, the operation of the elevator having the configuration shown in FIG. 1 will be described.
FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation procedure for sterilizing the touch panel display of the display device using the elevator according to the first embodiment.

  First, the operation count unit 15 of the elevator control device 1 initializes a count value of the number of operations stored in the storage device 12 (step S101). This initialization is performed after the previous sterilization process, that is, the sterilization process on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 by the sterilization apparatus 62 of the display device 6 is completed. However, when the sterilization process on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is not completed, the number of operations stored in the storage device 12 until the sterilization process on the operation surface glass is completed. The count value is not initialized.

  When any operation is performed on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 (step S102), the operation count counting unit 15 of the elevator control device 1 performs an operation stored in the storage device 12. An operation number increment process is performed in which the count value of the number of times is updated by 1 (step S103).

  Then, the operation control unit 14 of the elevator control device 1 determines whether or not the elevator is at rest, or here, is a non-directional standby state in which call registration is not registered (step S104).

  If it is determined that the elevator is not at rest (NO in step S101), the operation control unit 14 performs an elevator normal operation process, which is an operation according to call registration, in order to give priority to the service to passengers ( Step S113).

  On the other hand, when the operation control unit 14 determines that the elevator is at rest (YES in step S101), the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 counts the operation number counting unit 15 stored in the storage device 12. With reference to the number of operations, it is determined whether or not the number of operations exceeds a certain value that requires sterilization on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 (step S105).

  When the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the number of operations does not exceed the above-described fixed value (NO in step S105), the operation control unit 14 is an elevator normal operation that is an operation according to call registration. Processing is performed (step S113).

  On the other hand, when the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the number of operations exceeds a certain value (YES in step S105), the sterilization control processing unit 17 operates the sterilization device 62 of the display device 6, The sterilization process on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is started (step S106).

  And the sterilization control processing part 17 reached the predetermined time which can consider that the elapsed time time-measured by the time measuring part 18 from the start of this sterilization process completed the disinfection on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display apparatus 6. By determining whether or not, it is determined whether or not sterilization is completed (step S107).

  Before it is determined that the sterilization is completed (NO in step S107), if no operation is performed on the landing call registration device at the landing on each floor (NO in step S108), step S103 is performed to continue the sterilization process. Return to.

  Further, before it is determined that the sterilization is completed (NO in step S107), when the landing call registration device of the landing on each floor is operated and the landing call is registered by the operation control unit 14 (in step S108) YES), in order to give priority to the service to passengers, the sterilization control processing unit 17 stops the sterilization process by stopping the operation of the sterilization apparatus 62 of the display device 6 (step S109). And the operation control part 14 performs the elevator normal driving | operation process which is the driving | operation according to call registration (step S113).

  And the predetermined time which can be considered that the elapsed time time-measured by the time measuring part 18 from the start of this sterilization process was completed on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display apparatus 6, without operation with respect to a landing call registration apparatus. If the sterilization control processing unit 17 determines that the sterilization is completed by reaching the time (YES in step S107), the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is in a heated state. Yes.

  In this case, in consideration of passenger safety, the sterilization control processing unit 17 performs standby processing so that the temperature of the operation surface glass is naturally cooled to a temperature at which the passenger can safely touch, and sterilization is completed. After the determination, it is determined whether the time measured by the time measuring unit 18 has reached a predetermined time when it can be considered that the temperature of the operation surface glass has dropped below the safe temperature described above (steps S110 and S111).

Before the elapse of a predetermined time during which the temperature of the operation surface glass can be regarded as being lowered to the above-described safe temperature (NO in step S111), the sterilization control processing unit 17 continues to stand by.
On the other hand, if the sterilization control processing unit 17 determines that the predetermined time has passed that the temperature of the operation surface glass has decreased to the above-described safe temperature or less, the display control unit 19 displays the flat panel display of the display device 6. A message indicating that the sterilization of the operation surface glass 61 has been completed is displayed on the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 (step S112).

  FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating a display example for notification of sterilization of the touch panel display of the display device using the elevator according to the first embodiment. In this example, the processing completion time is displayed to the effect that the display has been sterilized.

  After performing this display, the operation control unit 14 performs an elevator normal operation process that is an operation according to call registration (step S113). After this elevator normal operation process, the process returns to S101. However, as described above, when the sterilization process on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is not completed, it is this S101 until the sterilization process on the operation surface glass is completed. Then, the count value of the number of operations stored in the storage device 12 is not initialized, and the process proceeds to S102.

  As described above, in the elevator according to the first embodiment, sterilization is performed by heating the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 while the elevator is stopped. Even if a large number of people touch and use it, it can be avoided that the operation surface of the touch panel becomes dirty or bacteria are attached, resulting in an unsanitary state.

Next, a modification of the first embodiment will be described.
In the first embodiment described above, sterilization on the operation surface glass is started when the number of operations on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 reaches a predetermined number. When the elapsed time from the end time of the previous sterilization process reaches a predetermined time, it is considered that many passengers are touching the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61, and the operation surface glass is sterilized. It is determined that it is necessary.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of an elevator control device for an elevator according to a modification of the first embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 6, the elevator control device 1 according to the present embodiment includes a control unit 11 that controls the operation of the entire device, a storage device 12, a communication interface 13, an operation control unit 14, an elapsed time counting unit 21, and an operation count counting unit. 15, a sterilization necessity determination unit 16, a sterilization control processing unit 17, a timer unit 18, and a display control unit 19. The configuration shown in FIG. 6 differs from the configuration shown in FIG. 3 in that an elapsed time count unit 21 is provided instead of the operation count unit 15.

The storage device 12 is a storage medium such as a non-volatile memory, and includes a communication interface 13, an operation control unit 14, an elapsed time counting unit 21, a sterilization necessity determination unit 16, a sterilization control processing unit 17, a time measuring unit 18, and a display control unit. The program for the processing operation by 19 is stored.
The elapsed time counting unit 21 counts the time measured by the time measuring unit 18 after the end of the previous sterilization of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6.

  In this modification, the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 sterilizes the flat panel display 61 when the elapsed time counted by the elapsed time counting unit 21 reaches a predetermined time required for the flat panel display 61 to be sterilized. It is determined that it is necessary.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation procedure for sterilization of the touch panel display of the display device using the elevator according to the modification of the first embodiment.
First, the elapsed time counting unit 21 of the elevator control device 1 initializes the count value of the elapsed time (step S121). This initialization is performed after the previous sterilization process, that is, the sterilization process on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 by the sterilization apparatus 62 of the display device 6 is completed. However, when the sterilization process on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is not completed, the elapsed time is not initialized until the sterilization process on the operation surface glass is completed. Thereafter, some operation is performed on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 (step S102), but no particular processing is performed here.

  Then, the operation control unit 14 of the elevator control device 1 determines whether or not the elevator is at rest, or here, is a non-directional standby state in which call registration is not registered (step S104).

  When it is determined that the elevator is not at rest (NO in step S104), the operation control unit 14 performs an elevator normal operation process, which is an operation according to call registration, in order to give priority to the service to passengers ( Step S113).

  On the other hand, when the operation control unit 14 determines that the elevator is at rest (YES in step S104), the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 refers to the elapsed time counted by the elapsed time counting unit 21, and this elapsed time. It is determined whether or not the time has exceeded a certain time required for sterilization on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 (step S122).

  When the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the elapsed time does not exceed the above-described fixed time (NO in step S122), the operation control unit 14 is an elevator normal operation that is an operation according to call registration. Processing is performed (step S113).

  On the other hand, when the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the elapsed time exceeds a certain time (YES in step S122), the sterilization control processing unit 17 operates the sterilization device 62 of the display device 6, The sterilization process on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is started (step S106). Subsequent operations are the same as those after S106 described in the first embodiment. And after the elevator normal operation process which is S113, it returns to S121. However, as described above, when the sterilization process on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is not completed, the process is S121 until the sterilization process on the operation surface glass is completed. The process proceeds to S102 without initializing the elapsed time.

(Second Embodiment)
Next, a second embodiment will be described. In addition, description of the same part as 1st Embodiment among the structures of the elevator in this embodiment is abbreviate | omitted.
In this embodiment, the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 is covered with a sheet so that the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 is touched on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 via the sheet 102. I try not to touch it directly.

  Here, the structure in which the sheet 102 is attached and fixed on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 cannot be used by an unspecified number of passengers, so that the sheet 102 is wound up every time it is used.

  Further, if the wound sheet 102 is simply replaced, the running cost increases remarkably, and the replacement work of the sheet becomes complicated. Therefore, the wound sheet 102 is sterilized by a sterilizer and reused (reused). ).

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a configuration example of an elevator display device according to the second embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 8, the display device 6 includes a flat panel display 61 which is a display panel having a touch panel function. A touch panel sensor (not shown) is installed on the surface of the flat panel display 61. The touch panel sensor method includes an analog resistance film method and a capacitance method, but is not particularly limited.

  Moreover, on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61, the sheet 102 covers the operation surface glass. In this embodiment, the passenger can perform a car call operation by touching the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 via the seat 102.

  The sheet 102 is wound in a roll shape and is stored above the flat panel display 61. The sheet 102 is placed between the feeding device 103 and the winding device 104, and the sheet 102 is fed from the feeding device 103 side toward the winding device 104 side.

  Specifically, a winding device 104 for winding the sheet 102 from the upper side to the lower side of the flat panel display 61 is provided below the flat panel display 61.

  The wound sheet 102 is stored below the flat panel display 61. In addition, a feeding device 103 for feeding the sheet 102 in accordance with the winding of the sheet 102 by the winding device 104 is provided on the upper portion of the flat panel display 61.

  In the present embodiment, a sheet sterilization apparatus 105 is provided between the winding apparatus 104 and the flat panel display 61 for sterilizing the sheet 102 that is not stored by heat treatment. The sheet sterilizer 105 sterilizes bacteria attached to the sheet by heat treatment.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram illustrating a functional configuration example of an elevator control device for an elevator according to the second embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 9, the elevator control device 1 according to this embodiment includes a control unit 11 that controls the operation of the entire device, a storage device 12, a communication interface 13, an operation control unit 14, a seat rotation control unit 31, and a seat usage state measurement. A sterilization necessity determination unit 16, a sterilization control processing unit 17, a usage count unit 33, and a display control unit 19.

  The storage device 12 is a storage medium such as a non-volatile memory, and includes a communication interface 13, an operation control unit 14, a sheet rotation control unit 31, a sheet use state measurement unit 32, a sterilization necessity determination unit 16, a sterilization control processing unit 17, A program for processing operations by the use count unit 33 and the display control unit 19 is stored.

The communication interface 13 performs communication processing with the hoisting machine 2 and the display device 6 as in the first embodiment.
The operation control unit 14 controls the operation of the car 3 by driving the hoisting machine 2 according to call registration, as in the first embodiment.

  The sheet rotation control unit 31 drives the feeding device 103 and the winding device 104 to wind the sheet 102 in the forward direction or to rewind it in the reverse direction. The positive direction is a winding direction from the feeding device 103 side to the winding device 104 side. The reverse direction is a direction in which the sheet 102 once wound on the winding device 104 side is wound from the winding device 104 side to the feeding device 103 side.

  Based on the drive control amount of the feeding device 103 and the winding device 104 by the sheet rotation control unit 31, the sheet use state measuring unit 32 is the length of the used sheet 102 out of the total length of the sheet 102, here The length of the portion wound by the winding device 104 is constantly measured, and the measurement result is stored in the storage device 12.

  The sterilization necessity determination unit 16 covers the flat panel display 61 when the length of the used sheet 102 measured by the sheet use state measurement unit 32 reaches a specified value that requires sterilization of the sheet 102. It is determined that the sheet must be wound in the opposite direction and the sheet needs to be sterilized.

  When the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 needs to be sterilized, the sterilization control processing unit 17 operates the sterilization device 106 of the display device 6 to store the sheet 102 that is not stored. Is heated to sterilize the sheet.

  Each time the use count counting unit 33 determines that the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 needs to wind the sheet in the reverse direction and sterilize the sheet, the sheet is wound in the reverse direction. Is used over almost the entire length, that is, touched by the passenger, the value obtained by incrementing the count value of the number of use by 1 is stored in the storage device 12, thereby counting the number of seat operations.

  When the sterilization by the sterilization device 106 operated by the sterilization control processing unit 17 is finished, the display control unit 19 displays this on the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 or a message for displaying guidance to passengers. Is displayed on the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6.

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation procedure for cleaning a sheet on a touch panel display of a display device using an elevator according to the second embodiment. In the initial state, the sheet 102 is assumed to be in a clean state over the entire length.

  First, the operation control unit 14 of the elevator control device 1 starts raising and lowering the car in response to call registration (step S200). Then, when the raising / lowering of the car is completed according to the call registration (step S201), the sheet rotation control unit 31 of the elevator control device 1 drives the feeding device 103 and the winding device 104 to move the sheet 102 in the forward direction. As a result, the clean portion of the sheet 102 is positioned so as to cover the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 (step S202).

  This winding amount is the length in the longitudinal direction of the exposed portion of the sheet 102 that has not been wound, and by this winding, the portion that was exposed before winding is wound on the winding device 104 side. Will not be exposed.

  In other words, in the present embodiment, the sheet is wound up every time the traveling corresponding to the call registration is performed. Therefore, after the traveling is finished, the clean sheet is placed on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6. Will be exposed to.

  Then, the display control unit 19 sends a message to the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 indicating that it has finished replacing the sheet on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 with a clean part. It is displayed (step S203).

  FIG. 11 is a diagram illustrating a display example for notifying that the sheets on the touch panel display of the display device by the elevator according to the second embodiment have been replaced. In this example, the fact that the sheet 102 has been replaced with a clean part and the processing completion time are displayed.

  After performing this display, the sheet use state measuring unit 32 determines the length of the used sheet 102 out of the total length of the sheet 102, here, the length of the portion wound by the winding device 104. The measurement result is read from the storage device 12.

  Then, the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines whether or not the length of the used sheet 102 read by the sheet use state measurement unit 32 is equal to or greater than a certain value that requires sterilization and reuse of the sheet 102. Is determined (step S204).

  When the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the length of the used sheet 102 measured by the sheet use state measurement unit 32 is not equal to or greater than a certain value that requires sterilization and reuse of the sheet 102 (NO in step S204) Since a certain amount or more of the sterilized sheet roll remains, the operation can be continued while feeding the sheet 102 in the forward direction as it is according to the use frequency of the elevator. Therefore, it returns to S201 and the operation control part 14 of the elevator control apparatus 1 controls raising / lowering of a car according to call registration.

  On the other hand, the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 determines that the length of the used sheet 102 measured by the sheet use state measurement unit 32 is equal to or greater than a certain value that requires sterilization and reuse of the sheet 102. In such a case (YES in step S204), the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 does not use the sterilized sheet roll, so the sheet 102 is reused later by performing sterilization while winding the sheet 102 in the reverse direction. Judge that it is necessary to do.

  In this case, the operation control unit 14 of the elevator control device 1 determines whether or not the elevator is at rest, or here is a non-directional standby state in which call registration is not registered (step S205).

  If the operation control unit 14 determines that the elevator is not at rest (NO in step S205), in order to give priority to the service to the passenger, the operation control unit 14 sees sterilization while winding the seat 102 in the reverse direction, and registers the call. In response to this, the raising / lowering of the car is started (step S206). Then, when the raising / lowering of the car is completed according to the call registration (step S207), the sheet rotation control unit 31 of the elevator control device 1 drives the feeding device 103 and the winding device 104 to move the seat 102 in the forward direction. (Step S208), the process returns to S206.

  Thus, even if it is determined by the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 that it is necessary to perform sterilization while winding the sheet 102 in the reverse direction, if the elevator is not at rest, the sheet 102 is removed in accordance with the operation. Priority is given to winding, and the sterilization while winding the sheet 102 in the reverse direction is forgotten, and the elevator is raised and lowered and the sheet 102 is wound in the forward direction according to the call registration. For this reason, the fixed value for determining whether or not it is necessary to perform sterilization while winding the sheet 102 in the reverse direction by the sterilization necessity determination unit 16 is set to a length somewhat shorter than the total length of the sheet.

  On the other hand, when the operation control unit 14 determines that the elevator is not operating (YES in step S105), the sterilization control processing unit 17 operates the sterilization device 106 of the display device 6 to make the display device 6 flat. The sterilization process of the sheet 102 covering the panel display 61 is started (step S209).

  Then, the operation counting unit 15 of the elevator control device 1 performs a sheet reuse counter increment process for updating the count value of the number of times of use of the sheet stored in the storage device 12 by 1 (step S210). Thereby, the number of times the sheet has been reused can be integrated.

  Then, in a state where the sterilization process by the sterilization device 106 is continued, the sheet rotation control unit 31 of the elevator control device 1 drives the feeding device 103 and the winding device 104 to wind the sheet 102 in the reverse direction. Start (step S211). As a result, while the sheet 102 once wound in the forward direction is sterilized, the sterilized sheet 102 is returned to the original state before winding, and the operation surface of the flat panel display 61 is sterilized. Therefore, the wound sheet 102 can be reused as a sterilized sheet while being wound in the positive direction when necessary.

  The sheet use state measuring unit 32 measures whether or not the sheet 102 has been rewound to the beginning. After starting the winding of the seat 102 in the reverse direction, before the seat 102 is rewound to the beginning, an operation is performed on the landing call registration device at the landing on each floor, and the landing call is registered by the operation control unit 14. In this case (YES in step S212), in order to give priority to the service to the passenger, the sterilization control processing unit 17 interrupts the reverse rotation of the sheet 102, and the sterilization control processing unit 31 performs sterilization. The control processing unit 17 stops the operation of the sterilization device 106 of the display device 6, interrupts the sterilization processing, and returns to S200. As a result, the sheet 102 is wound again in the forward direction as the vehicle travels.

  Then, the operation of the landing call registration device is not performed (NO in step S212), and the sheet use state measuring unit 32 indicates that the sheet 102 has been rewound to the beginning, that is, the entire sheet 102 has become clean. When the measurement is performed (YES in step S213), the usage count unit 33 reads the count value of the usage count stored in the storage device 12, and this count value, that is, the reuse count, determines the replacement life of the seat 102. It is determined whether or not the specified number of times is exceeded (step S214).

  If the count value read by the use count unit 33 is not equal to or greater than the specified number indicating the replacement life of the sheet 102 (NO in step S214), the sheet 102 is not required to be replaced and the sheet 102 is not processed until the beginning. Since the sheet 102 has been rewound and is in a clean state, the display control unit 19 indicates that the sheet on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 has been sterilized. The message is displayed on the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 (step S215).

  Further, if the count value read by the use number counting unit 33 is equal to or greater than the specified number indicating the replacement life of the sheet 102 (YES in step S214), it is the life of the sheet 102, and the sheet 102 is replaced with a new one. Since it is necessary to replace the display device 19, the display control unit 19 displays a message for prompting the worker to arrange replacement of the sheet on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 with a substitute sheet. It is displayed on the flat panel display 61 (step S216).

FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a display example for notifying a sheet replacement instruction on the touch panel display of the display device by the elevator according to the second embodiment.
And the display control part 19 displays the message which shows that the disinfection of the sheet | seat on the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display apparatus 6 was complete | finished on the flat panel display 61 of the display apparatus 6 (step S215).

  As described above, in the elevator according to the second embodiment, the sheet covering the operation surface glass of the flat panel display 61 of the display device 6 is wound around each operation to keep it clean, and after the sheet is used, Since sterilization is performed by heating while the elevator is stopped while rewinding the sheet, even if an unspecified number of people touch the sheet covering the flat panel display, bacteria adhere to this sheet, It can avoid becoming unsanitary.

According to each of these embodiments, it is possible to provide an elevator that can clean the operation surface of the touch panel display device.
