Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator apparatus and an elevator system, and more particularly to an elevator apparatus and an elevator system with improved serviceability for users.

  With the development of communication technology and computer technology, various services are provided to users in recent elevator devices. In particular, recently, control of alarm devices such as a car opening / closing door and a speaker is performed using personal information of the user. The following is proposed as an example of the service to such a user.

  For example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-273520 (Patent Document 1), when an elevator user carrying an IC tag tries to get off from an elevator car on a floor other than the destination floor, the floor is not the destination floor. An elevator apparatus has been proposed in which the elevator user is prevented from getting out of the car on a floor other than the destination floor.

  Thus, since the user can be specified by using the IC tag, a database for each user can be constructed in the elevator apparatus, and various information can be provided to the user from this database. In addition, serviceability relating to determination of the destination of the car and opening / closing of the door can be improved for the user.

  By the way, when a user occupying a building such as a business building attends a meeting on another floor, the user goes to the meeting room on another floor using the elevator device from the floor where the user is using. When the conference ends, the action of returning to the original floor is taken.

  In addition, when a user makes a business trip to another office of the company where he / she works, the user enters from the entrance (entrance floor) of the office and uses an elevator device to go to a meeting room on the predetermined floor. When it finishes, it will return to the entrance (entrance floor).

  Furthermore, when a user meets with a customer, he / she goes out from the building where the user is occupying to the designated floor of another building where the customer is occupying and uses it after completing his / her duties. The action of returning to the building where the person is occupying will be taken.

  In general, when going to a meeting or a meeting, the user carries a portable computer (personal computer, tablet), notebook, writing instrument, etc. necessary for the meeting or a meeting, and when it is raining. Carrying an umbrella or the like (hereinafter collectively referred to as a portable item) to a meeting or a meeting. Here, it goes without saying that the portable items are not limited to the above-described items, and there are various items.

  When the meeting or meeting is completed, the user returns to the office that he / she uses, but it is often experienced that the user returns to the office without taking the portable item that he / she brought. By the way. Therefore, a user who realizes that he / she has forgotten to take away his / her portable object will take the action of returning to the conference room or the customer's building and taking the portable object back. For this reason, since a user's time loss becomes large, it is necessary to provide the service which improves this.

  The purpose of the present invention is that when a user goes to a predetermined floor using a car and finishes the job and then gets into the car to move from that floor, the user forgets to take his / her portable items. It is to provide an elevator apparatus and an elevator system that notify that effect and improve serviceability.

  The feature of the present invention is that the portable object information of the portable object is stored in the user database when the user gets into the car, and the portable object information of the portable object when the user gets off the predetermined floor and gets into the car again. Compared with the portable object information stored in the user database, if the comparison result does not match, the user is informed that he has forgotten to take the portable object.

  According to the present invention, when the user has forgotten to take away the portable object, the user can be notified of this, and thereby the user does not take an unnecessary action of returning and taking the portable object back. It is a thing that can be completed. Thereby, the serviceability of the elevator apparatus can be improved.

In the first embodiment, it is assumed that the user moves from the entrance floor to a predetermined floor, returns to the entrance floor after completing his / her duties. In this embodiment, a method for detecting forgetting to take a portable object using an authentication method using an RFID tag is adopted.

  RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) is a non-contact type recognition method using radio waves. An IC chip with an antenna processed in the form of a tag or a label (sometimes called an IC tag), which is used by being attached to a portable object. A receiving device for reading information from the IC chip is installed in the car to read portable information. The RFID tag information stored in the RFID tag stores at least user authentication information (authentication code) of the user who is the owner of the portable object and portable object information indicating that the object is a portable object. Of course, additional information other than this may be stored, for example, the type of portable object.

  The feature of this embodiment is that when the user enters the car from the entrance floor, the RFID tag information given to the user's portable items is read and temporarily stored in the database, and new when the user enters the car from a floor other than the entrance floor. The read RFID tag information and the previously stored RFID tag information are compared, and if they do not match, the user is informed that he has forgotten to take the portable object. Furthermore, preferably, in addition to this, by opening the door of the car for a predetermined time, it is possible to give the user time to get out of the car in order to bring back the portable item. Specific examples will be described below.

  In FIG. 1, the elevator apparatus includes a car 11 that moves up and down a hoistway 10, and a hoisting machine motor 13 that drives a rope 12 that suspends the car 11 to raise and lower the car 11 along the hoistway 10. It has.

  The main controller 17 is connected to a user database 18, and various information for each user is stored in the user database 18. The information for each user includes at least an authentication code for individual authentication of the user. In addition, the user's company, name, age, gender, usage permission floor, weight (Kg), usage log record of the elevator device, and the like are stored as necessary. Of course, it goes without saying that other information may be stored. The main controller 17 and the user database 18 function as an elevator server that manages the operation of the plurality of passenger cars 11.

  In the car 11, an RFID tag information lead for reading out the RFID tag information of the user RFID tag 21 carried by the user PS that has entered the car 11 and the portable RFID tag 22 attached to the portable object. Means 20 is installed, and the RFID tag information is transferred to the main control device 17 via the car-side control device 15 and the tail code 16.

  The user RFID tag 21 is affixed to a card such as a user name plate or an employee ID card, and has a form that is suspended from a neck of the user PS by a string. Information on the user RFID tag 12 includes at least an authentication code, which is user authentication information, and a user door opening / closing control information corresponding to the authentication code. In addition, name / age / gender / usage permission floor / weight (Kg), usage log record of the elevator apparatus, and control information of the elevator apparatus may be written.

  The RFID tag 22 for portable items is attached to a user's portable item by a method such as pasting, and at least a user authentication code which is user authentication information indicating that the item is owned by the user and the portable item Carrying object information indicating that is written. Thereby, it can authenticate that it is a user's portable thing. Furthermore, information indicating the type of portable object, for example, the type of umbrella, notebook, computer, etc., may be written.

  Here, FIG. 1 shows two scenes. One is a case where a user who has a user RFID tag 21 on the entrance floor carries a portable object to which a portable object RFID tag 22 representing a portable object is attached and enters the car. The other is when you get in the car on a floor other than the entrance floor after you have finished. In this case, the user has forgotten to take the portable item, and the user is in the car without carrying the portable item to which the RFID tag 22A for portable item is attached.

  Next, the control function of the control device composed of the car-side control device 15 and the main control device 17 will be briefly described. As shown in FIG. 2, the main control device 17 has a control function unit that is executed by a microcomputer. The microcomputer includes a calculation unit that executes various control calculations based on a control program, a storage unit that includes a control program, a ROM area that stores control constants, a RAM area as a working area for control calculations, and a car. An input / output circuit unit for inputting a button signal and a sensor signal transferred from the side control device 15 and outputting to the car side control device 15 is provided. Since the configuration of the microcomputer is well known, further explanation is omitted.

  The main controller 17 is provided with an elevator operation control function unit 17c for controlling the operation of the elevator device. The elevator operation control function unit 17c controls the hoisting machine motor 13, the door opening / closing motor 14, and the like. In accordance with the registration state of the landing button 19 and a car button (not shown), the car 1 is lifted and lowered to open and close the door.

  In addition, the main control device 17 is provided with an RFID tag information storage control function unit 17a that executes control for storing RFID tag information of users and portable items read in the car 11 in the user database 18. . This RFID tag information storage control function unit 17a has the function of temporarily storing the RFID tag information transferred from the car-side control device 15, and the RFID tag information in the corresponding user storage area of the user database 18. It has a function to transfer.

  Further, the RFID tag information stored when the user enters the entrance floor is read from the user database 18 and compared with the RFID tag information when the same user enters the floor other than the entrance floor. An RFID information determination function unit 7b that determines that the user has forgotten to take the portable object is provided. The determination information of the RFID tag information determination function unit 17b is transferred to the elevator operation control function unit 17c, and the elevator operation control function unit 17c outputs a determination information signal to the car-side control device 15.

  The car-side control device 15 also has a control function unit that is executed by a microcomputer. This microcomputer also has a calculation unit for executing various control calculations based on the control program, a storage unit consisting of a ROM area for storing control programs, control constants, etc., a RAM area as a working area for control calculations, and the like. An input / output circuit unit is provided for inputting a control signal from the control device 17 and outputting RFID tag information to the main control device 17 and each motor, broadcasting equipment, and the like.

  The car-side control device 15 includes an opening / closing door control function unit 15a that opens and closes the door by driving the door opening / closing motor 14 in accordance with a door opening / closing command of the elevator operation control function unit 17c, and an elevator operation control function unit. There is provided a car control function unit 15b that drives the hoisting motor 13 in accordance with a command from the machine 17c to move the car 11 up and down and outputs lights, signals, broadcasts, and the like.

  Also, the RFID tag information reading that receives the signal from the RFID information reading means 20 installed in the car 11, reads the user authentication information, the user authentication information of the portable object, and the portable object information and transfers them to the main control device 17. A functional unit 15c is provided.

  Next, a specific operation of the control flow in the above elevator apparatus will be described. In this embodiment, it is assumed that a user to be managed on the entrance floor gets on the car 11. For example, it is assumed that a user visits a business establishment involved on a business trip, moves from the entrance floor to a predetermined floor, returns to the entrance floor again after completing the use on the predetermined floor. Therefore, the RFID tag information read at the entrance floor is used as a reference for RFID tag information of users and portable items.

  In the present embodiment, the use of the car 11 by a user who does not have the user RFID tag 21 is excluded and the description thereof is omitted. For example, when the RFID tag information of the user RFID tag 21 is not detected in the first processing step, a control step may be added in which the control flow is not executed by going to the end as it is. Therefore, the control flow of the user having the user RFID tag 21 will be described below.

  In step S11 of FIG. 3, it is determined whether or not the car 11 is stopped at the entrance floor. If you are not parked on the entrance floor, you will be on the floor above the entrance floor and exit to the end. In some cases, the entrance floor is not the first floor. In this case, it is only necessary to treat the floor as the entrance floor.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S11 that the vehicle is stopped at the entrance floor, the process proceeds to step S12. When the user gets into the car 11 in step S12, the RFID tag information reading means 20 installed in the car 11 uses the RFID tag 21 for the user to authenticate the user himself and the RFID tag 22 for the portable object. The user authentication code and the portable object information indicating the portable object are read out. In this way, by reading the user authentication code from the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22, it can be determined that the user himself / herself is carrying his / her own portable item. In addition, when there is a portable item to which the RFID tag 22 for portable items is not attached, or when the portable item itself is not carried, information indicating that there is no RFID tag information of the RFID tag 22 for portable item is set. To do.

  When the reading of the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22 is completed in step S12, the process proceeds to step S13, and it is determined whether there is RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22. If there is no RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22, the process returns to step S11 again to execute the same processing steps. In this case, it is determined that the user does not carry the portable object that the user wants to manage, and the process returns to the first processing step.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S13 that there is RFID tag information of the RFID for portable object 22, it is determined that the user carrying the portable object to be managed has entered, and the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, since the user carries the portable object to be managed, the portable object is managed.

  In step S14, the RFID tag information of the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22 is transferred to the storage area of the user database 18 and stored. In this case, the authentication code of the user RFID tag 21 and the user authentication code of the portable RFID tag 22 are respectively an authentication code by the user RFID tag 21 and a user authentication code by the portable RFID tag 22. It is distinguished. Accordingly, it can be determined that the user himself / herself has carried the portable object and has entered the car 11 due to the presence of the two authentication codes.

  The storage area of the user database 18 is allocated in advance for each user, and the RFID tag information of the corresponding user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22 is determined to be stored. However, it is also possible to use a free storage area in which a new storage area is set and updated each time the user enters the car 11 without deciding a storage area in advance.

  With the above processing, when a user goes to a different floor from the entrance floor for a conference or the like, it is possible to store and manage that the user is carrying a portable item in the user database. .

  Next, a process when the user finishes a conference or the like and enters the car 11 from a floor other than the entrance floor will be described.

  In step S21 of FIG. 4, it is determined whether or not the car 11 is parked at a place other than the entrance floor. If you have not stopped outside the entrance floor, exit to the end.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S21 that the vehicle is not on the entrance floor, the process proceeds to step S22. When the user gets into the car 11 in step S22, the RFID tag information reading means 20 installed in the car 11 uses the RFID tag 21 for the user and the user authentication code and the mobile phone as in FIG. The user authentication code and the portable object information indicating the portable object are read from the RFID tag 22 for the object.

  When the reading of the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22 is completed in step S22, the process proceeds to step S23 and the read RFID tag information is temporarily stored in the storage unit of the RFID tag information storage function unit 17a. Is done. This usually uses a RAM area. Further, in step S23, the RFID tag information of the user RFID tag 21 and the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 stored at the entrance floor stored in the user database 18 by the control flow of FIG. Are read out and temporarily stored in the storage unit of the RFID tag information storage function unit 17a.

  Next, in step S24, the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 stored at the entrance floor is compared with the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 read at other than the current entrance floor. If the RFID tag information of the portable object stored by this comparison matches the RFID tag information of the newly read portable object, the end is assumed that there is no forgotten take-away of the portable object. In this step S24, it goes without saying that the comparison of the authentication codes of the user RFID tags 21 is performed.

  On the other hand, if the stored RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 and the newly read RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 do not match, the process proceeds to step S25 on the assumption that there has been a forgotten take-away of the portable object. Become. Here, the comparison between the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 and the newly read RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 is configured such that information on the type of the portable object is read in addition to the simple comparison. If it is, it becomes possible to compare each type, and it is possible to identify the type of the portable item that has forgotten to take home.

  In step S25, the broadcast device of the car 11 is used to notify the user that he / she has forgotten to take the portable object, and the user opens the door and keeps the door open, and the user returns to take the portable object. To be able to. Here, when the information on the type of the portable object is read, it is possible to compare each type, and it is possible to identify and broadcast the type of the portable object that has forgotten to take home. For example, it is possible to notify “Mr. XX, forgetting the umbrella”. According to this, the user can immediately remember a portable item that he or she forgot to take home, and can further improve serviceability.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user gets into the car on the entrance floor, the portable object information of the portable object is stored in the user database, and when the user gets off at the predetermined floor and enters the car again. The portable object information of the portable object is compared with the portable object information stored in the user database, and if the comparison result does not match, the user is informed that he has forgotten to take the portable object. According to this, when the user has forgotten to take away the portable object, the user can be notified of this, and without this, the user does not need to take the unnecessary action of returning and taking the portable object back. That's it.

  In the first embodiment, on the condition that the user has entered the car from the entrance floor, the portable object information of the portable object is stored in the user database. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the entrance floor is not used as a reference, and it is possible to notify the forgetfulness of taking away the portable object when moving from the first predetermined floor to the second predetermined floor. A method is proposed. For example, it is assumed that a user occupying a building goes to a conference room on another floor to hold a conference and returns to the original floor when the conference is over. The basic method is the same as in the first embodiment. Also in this embodiment, the use of the car 11 by a user who does not have the user RFID tag 21 is excluded from the description and will not be described.

  In step S31 of FIG. 5, for example, when the user gets into the car 11 on the first predetermined floor where the user's office is located, the RFID tag information reading means 20 installed in the car 11 The user authentication code is read from the user RFID tag 21, and the user authentication code of the user and the portable object information indicating the portable object are read from the portable RFID tag 22. By reading the user authentication code from the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22, it can be determined that the user is carrying his / her own portable item. This step S31 performs the same processing as step S12 of the first embodiment.

  Next, in step S32, the current number of floors (= first predetermined floor) when the user gets into the car 11 and the current time are detected. Since the rank is detected by the main control device 17, it is sufficient to use this rank information, and since the current time is also detected as a time stamp by the main control device 17, this time information may be used.

  When the reading of the RFID tag information of the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22 and the detection of the current floor number and time are completed in steps S31 and S32, the process proceeds to step S33, where the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 is obtained. It is determined whether there is. If there is no RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22, the process returns to step S31 and the same processing steps are executed. In this case as well, the process is the same as step S13 of the first embodiment, and the process returns to the first process step assuming that the user does not carry the portable object that the user wants to manage.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S32 that there is RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22, it is determined that a user having a portable item to be managed has entered, and the process proceeds to step S34. In this step S34, the RFID tag information of the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22 is transferred to the storage area of the user database 18 and stored therein. Further, the floor number and the current time when the user gets into the car 11 are also stored in association with the user's authentication code. Therefore, the user database 18 manages the portable items carried by the user. In addition, the management is executed as to which floor the user has used the car 11 at what time. Accordingly, it is possible to determine that the user has completed the use and has re-entered the car 11 from the subsequent change in floor number and time.

  Next, processing when the user exits from the car 11 on the second predetermined floor, finishes the duties such as the conference, and enters the car 11 again to return to the user's department from the second predetermined floor. explain.

  In step S41 of FIG. 6, when the user gets into the car 11, the user is authenticated from the user RFID tag 21 by the RFID tag information reading means 20 installed in the car 11, as in FIG. The code and the user authentication code and the portable object information indicating the portable object are read from the RFID tag 22 for the portable object.

  When the reading of the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22 is completed in step S41, the current floor number (= second predetermined floor) and the current number when the user gets into the car 11 in step S42. Detect time. When the current floor number and time are detected, the process proceeds to step S43, and the floor number and time stored when the user enters the car 11 on the first predetermined floor are read from the user database and compared. If it is determined that the first predetermined floor and the second predetermined floor do not match and the current time has passed a predetermined time (for example, one hour) or more, the process proceeds to step S44. Otherwise, the process proceeds to step S41. It is a return.

  The reason for making such a judgment is that when a user carries a portable object and attends a meeting or the like and a predetermined time elapses, the meeting ends and then returns to his / her department relatively forgetful things. Based on the fact that there are many cases. The length of the predetermined time described above is arbitrary, and is set by selecting an appropriate time. Of course, there is an option of not setting.

  Next, the RFID tag information read in step S44 is temporarily stored in the storage unit of the RFID tag information storage function unit 17a. In step S44, the RFID tag information of the user RFID tag 21 stored at the time of boarding on the first predetermined floor stored in the user database 18 by the control flow of FIG. The RFID tag information is read out and temporarily stored in the storage unit of the RFID tag information storage function unit 17a.

  Next, in step S45, the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 stored on the first predetermined floor and the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 read on the second predetermined floor are compared. I do. If the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 stored by this comparison and the RFID tag information of the newly read portable RFID tag 22 match, it is determined that there is no forgotten take-away of the portable item, and the process ends.

  On the other hand, if the RFID tag information of the portable RFID tag 22 and the RFID tag information of the newly read portable RFID tag 22 do not match, the process proceeds to step S46 because it is assumed that the portable object has been forgotten. In step S46, the broadcast device of the car 11 is used to notify the user that he / she has forgotten to take the portable object, and the user returns to picking up the portable object while keeping the door open. To be able to. Here, as in the first embodiment, if the information on the type of the portable object is read, the type can be compared, and the type of the portable object that has been forgotten to be taken can be identified and broadcast. According to this, the user can immediately remember a portable item that he or she forgot to take home, and can further improve serviceability.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the user gets into the car on the first predetermined floor, the portable object information of the portable object is stored in the user database, and the user gets off at the predetermined floor and enters the car again. The portable object information of the portable object at the time of boarding is compared with the portable object information stored in the user database, and if the comparison result does not match, the user is informed that he has forgotten to take the portable object. According to this, when the user has forgotten to take away the portable object, the user can be notified of this, and without this, the user does not need to take the unnecessary action of returning and taking the portable object back. That's it.

  In Example 1 and Example 2 described above, an RFID tag is used for the user authentication code and the portable object information to be given to the portable object, but the sticker paper (so-called, The same can be done by attaching a barcode sticker or the like) to a portable object. In this case, an optical reader for reading a barcode or the like is installed on the car.

  Example 1 and Example 2 presuppose the elevator server of the same building. However, the third embodiment proposes a method capable of notifying a person who has forgotten to take a portable object by Example 1 or Example 2 even when going to a different building.

  In FIG. 7, an elevator server 23 installed in a building A in which a user occupies and an elevator server 24 installed in a building B in which a customer occupies are connected by a communication cable 25. A user database 18 is constructed in the elevator server 23 of the building A. However, since the elevator server 24 of the building B is not an elevator server used by the user, the user database 18 is not constructed.

  When the user goes to the building B and enters the car to go to the customer's occupancy floor, the elevator server 24 reads the RFID of the user RFID tag 21 for the user and the RFID tag 22 for the portable object. Information such as tag information, floor number, and current time is transferred to the elevator server 23 of the building A using the communication cable 25. The elevator server 23 stores the transferred RFID tag information, floor number, and current time of the user and portable items in a storage area allocated to the corresponding user in the user database 18.

  When the user meets with the customer and enters the car again, the elevator server 24 reads the RFID tag information and floor number of the user RFID tag 21 and the portable RFID tag 22 of the newly read user. Information such as time is transferred to the elevator server 23 of the building A using the communication cable 25. The elevator server 23 compares the transferred information with the previously transferred and stored information to determine whether there is any forgotten take-away of the portable object. These processes can be executed using the processing methods of the first and second embodiments.

  When it is determined by the elevator server 23 that there is a forgotten take-away of the portable object, the elevator server 23 transfers this forgotten information to the elevator server 24, and the elevator server 24 uses this information to drive the building B.
