The operation control unit 15 determines permission or non-permission of the operation of the car on the basis of discrimination results by the specific person discrimination unit, and controls the operation of the car.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device, an elevator device, and a program for controlling the operation of a car according to a user, for example.

  Conventionally, in facilities where high safety is required, such as child care support facilities, nursing care facilities, and hospitals, specific persons such as infants and the elderly are prohibited from using the elevator alone. However, these specific persons are permitted to use the elevator as long as they are accompanied by an attendant such as a guardian or a nurse.

  However, in order to prevent the elevator device from being used only by a specific person, a use prohibition tag is put on a landing side indicator (for example, an indicator that informs the current position of the car), or an entry prohibition fence is provided at the landing. Measures were taken. However, the effect of these countermeasures is low, and the specific person still presses the call button provided at the boarding area to call the car to the boarding area and erroneously board the car that has arrived at the boarding area.

  As a technique for avoiding single use of an elevator apparatus by a specific person, for example, a technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 is known. In this Patent Document 1, a photographed face image of a user who gets on the vehicle is compared with a reference face image of a user who can use an elevator at the current time, and the photographed face image of the user matches the reference face image. If not, it is disclosed that the car door is kept open.

JP, 2006-222385, A

  However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is difficult to compare and discriminate between the captured face image and the reference face image when the face is difficult to be reflected on the camera, such as when the user is wearing a cap. . For this reason, the specific person accidentally gets on the car called on the boarding floor because the call button of the elevator is carelessly pressed even though the specific person is not permitted to use the elevator alone. There was a thing.

  The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to limit the use of an elevator only for a user who is restricted from riding in a car.

  The elevator control device according to the present invention includes a storage unit that stores feature classification data for classifying features of a specific person among users who ride in a car, and user's captured image data captured by the imaging unit. Is compared with the feature classification data read from the storage unit to determine whether the feature of the user included in the captured image data matches the feature of the specific person indicated in the feature classification data. Based on the determination result of the vehicle and the specific person determination unit, the permission or non-permission of the operation of the car is determined, and the operation of the car is controlled.

According to the present invention, a user who is restricted from using the elevator is discriminated. When only this user gets on the car, the operation of the car is not permitted. Limited to

  DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments for carrying out the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the present specification and drawings, components having substantially the same function or configuration are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted.

[First Embodiment]
First, a configuration and an operation example of the elevator control device and the elevator device according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.
FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram illustrating an example of the overall configuration of the elevator apparatus 1.

  The elevator device 1 includes a car 2, a rope 3, a hoisting machine 4, a control panel 5, an elevator control device 6, and a counterweight 7.

  The car 2 is connected to a counterweight 7 via a rope 3. When the sheave of the hoisting machine 4 that receives power supply from a power source (not shown) rotates, the rope 3 wound around the sheave is driven. Then, the relative position between the car 2 and the counterweight 7 changes, and the car 2 moves up and down on the hoistway 8.

The car 2 is provided with a car door 10, a camera 11, and a speaker 12.
The car door 10 is opened and closed by engaging with the landing door 13 when the car 2 reaches the landing floor. When the car door 10 and the landing door 13 are opened on the boarding floor, the user gets on the car 2. Then, when the car 2 on which the user has boarded moves and arrives at the destination floor, the car door 10 and the landing door 13 are opened, and the user can get out of the car 2.

  The camera 11 is an example of a photographing unit that can photograph a user who gets in the car 2 and output image data to the elevator control device 6. The camera 11 is connected to a storage unit 20 described later. Therefore, the image data output from the camera 11 is stored in the storage unit 20.

  In addition, the installation position of the camera 11 may be an upper part in the car 2 that can take a picture of a user who has entered the car 2 or an upper part on the side of the hall 14 that can take a picture of a user waiting at the hall 14. . However, by providing the camera 11 in the car 2, it is possible to photograph all the users who enter the car 2 from the multi-floor hall 14 with the single camera 11.

  The speaker 12 is used as an example of an audio output unit that can output audio into the car 2. The speaker 12 broadcasts a predetermined announcement according to a command from the operation control unit 15 described later. For this reason, the user who is getting on the car 2 gets off the car 2 according to the announcement. Note that the speaker 12 may be capable of outputting sound outside the car 2. In this case, even a nurse who is not in the car 2 or in the hallway, etc., is listening to the broadcast announcement, and a user who is not allowed to operate alone is in the car 2 You can notice that. Therefore, a nurse or the like can safely get off the user who is on the car 2 from the car 2.

  The control panel 5 includes an operation control unit 15 for driving the hoisting machine 4, opening / closing the car door 10 and the landing door 13, and giving an announcement command by the speaker 12, and comprehensively controls the operation of the elevator apparatus 1. It is possible. The operation control unit 15 determines whether the operation of the car 2 is permitted or not based on the determination result of the specific person determination unit 21 and controls the operation of the car 2.

  The elevator control device 6 includes a storage unit 20, a specific person determination unit 21, and a user number determination unit 22. The elevator control device 6 is provided outside the elevator device 1, but may be provided integrally in the control panel 5. It is also possible to replace only the elevator control device 6 by updating the elevator device 1 or to install a program capable of executing processing of each part in the elevator control device 6 in the existing elevator control device 6. It is.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram illustrating an internal configuration example of the elevator control device 6.
The storage unit 20 stores clothing image data (an example of photographed image data) of the current user photographed by the camera 11. The user this time is a user who gets on the car 2 by performing a car call operation. The storage unit 20 also stores clothing image data of users who have boarded the car 2 in the past. And the memory | storage part 20 memorize | stores the characteristic classification data for classifying the characteristic of a specific person among the users boarding the passenger car 2. In the present embodiment, the characteristic of the specific person represents the clothes of the specific person. For this reason, the feature classification data includes the first clothing classification data indicating the characteristics of a specific person who is not permitted to board the car 2, and the second clothes indicating the characteristics of the specific person who is permitted to board the car 2. Classification data. The first clothing classification data and the second clothing classification data are image data representing clothing that can be easily identified by the specific person determination unit 21. In the first embodiment, processing using the first clothing classification data is performed, and in the second embodiment described later, processing using the second clothing classification data is performed.

  Note that only the first clothing classification data or the second clothing classification data may be stored in the storage unit 20 in accordance with the processing of the elevator control device 6. Detailed contents of the first clothing classification data and the second clothing classification data are shown in FIG. 4 to be described later.

  The specific person discriminating unit 21 compares the user's captured image data captured by the camera 11 with the feature classification data read from the storage unit 20, and the user's characteristics included in the captured image data are converted into the feature classification. It is determined whether or not it matches the characteristics of the specific person indicated in the data. In the first embodiment, the specific person determination unit 21 compares the current user's clothing image data captured by the camera 11 with the first clothing classification data to determine whether they match. . In addition, the specific person determination unit 21 determines the ratio of the color of clothes and shoes specified by the user to the whole body, the difference in the color of the clothing depending on the standing position of the user, and the difference in the colors of the clothing on the upper body and the lower body. Etc. are also provided. For this reason, even if the illumination in the boarding area or the car 2 is dark or the sunlight is inserted from the boarding area, it is possible to accurately compare the clothing image data and the first clothing classification data.

  The number-of-users determination unit 22 acquires the number of users who have boarded the car 2 based on the image data captured by the camera 11. Then, the user number determination unit 22 determines whether or not a plurality of users have boarded the car 2 based on the acquired number of users. The number-of-users determination unit 22 determines that there is a user in the car 2 based on the measurement result of a photoelectric sensor or the like provided in the car door 10, and uses a weighing scale provided in the car 2. The user in the car 2 may be determined by dividing the measured value by the average weight of the user.

  When it is determined by the number-of-users determination unit 22 that a plurality of users have boarded the car 2, the operation control unit 15 determines whether or not specific users are included in the plurality of users. Judgment of permission or non-permission of operation of the car 2. When the operation of the car 2 is not permitted, the operation control unit 15 maintains the hall door 13 on the floor where the car 2 stops and the car door 10 of the car 2 in an open state. Continue to stop 2. In addition, when the operation of the car 2 is not permitted, the operation control unit 15 performs a notification indicating that the use of the elevator is not permitted by the voice output unit. This notification is an announcement by voice, but may be an alarm to the monitoring center of the elevator apparatus 1 or a medical office.

Next, the hardware configuration of the computer C configuring the control panel 5 and the elevator control device 6 will be described.
FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of the computer C.

  The computer C is hardware used as a so-called computer. The computer C includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) C1, a ROM (Read Only Memory) C2, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) C3 connected to the bus C4. Furthermore, the computer C includes a nonvolatile storage C5 and a network interface C6.

  The CPU C1 reads out the program code of software that implements each function according to the present embodiment from the ROM C2, and executes it. In the RAM C3, variables, parameters and the like generated during the arithmetic processing are temporarily written. The CPU C <b> 1 executes processing of the specific person determination unit 21 and the number of users determination unit 22 in the elevator control device 6 and processing of the operation control unit 15 in the control panel 5.

  As the nonvolatile storage C5, for example, an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), a flexible disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a CD-R, a magnetic tape, a nonvolatile memory, or the like is used. It is done. In the nonvolatile storage C5, in addition to the OS (Operating System) and various parameters, a program for causing the computer C to function is recorded. The ROM C2 and the non-volatile storage C5 record programs and data necessary for the operation of the CPU C1, and are computer-readable non-transitory recording media storing programs executed by the computer C. Used as an example. For this reason, this program is permanently stored in the ROM C2 and the non-volatile storage C5. In addition, the storage 20 of the elevator control device 6 is configured in the non-volatile storage C5, and the first clothing classification data and the second clothing classification data shown in FIG. 4 are stored.

  For example, a network interface card (NIC) or the like is used as the network interface C6, and various types of data can be transmitted and received between devices via a LAN (local area network) connected to a terminal, a dedicated line, or the like. is there. For example, the elevator control device 6 and the control panel 5 transmit and receive data through the network interface C6.

Here, the clothing classification data will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram showing a configuration example of clothing classification data.

  FIG. 4 shows a list of examples of specific persons and clothing for each group in which a specific person who is restricted from boarding the car 2 is group A and a specific person who is allowed to board the car 2 is group B. Has been. Specific persons belonging to Group A include, for example, infants in child-rearing facilities, elderly people in nursing facilities, and hospitalized patients in hospitals. Infants, for example, uniforms, garden caps, and outerwear are examples of clothing used to identify these specific persons. Moreover, in elderly people and hospitalized patients, for example, there are pajamas, slippers, sandals, and wheelchairs. The wheelchair is not so-called clothing, but is included as clothing because it becomes effective data when determining whether or not the user is a specific person. The clothing data included in the group A is treated as first clothing classification data.

  On the other hand, specific persons belonging to group B include, for example, doctors, nurses, caregivers, staff, employees, family members, and visitors. And as a clothing used when discriminating these specific persons, in a doctor and a nurse, there are a white robe, an ID card, and a sandal, for example. In addition, caregivers include, for example, an apron, work clothes, an ID card, and outerwear. Staff and employees include, for example, work clothes, ID cards, and tops. For family members and visitors, for example, there are visit cards and slippers. In addition, group B including specific persons who are permitted to use the elevator includes image data of clothing worn by users other than group A as clothing classification data. And the data of the clothing contained in the group B are handled as 2nd clothing classification data.

  In this Embodiment, the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 discriminate | determines whether a user corresponds to a specific person using the clothing classification data contained in either the group A or the group B. FIG. For this reason, the clothing classification data of the group which is not used for discrimination does not need to exist in the storage unit 20. For example, if only the first clothing classification data of the group A is stored in the storage unit 20, the specific person determination unit 21 indicates that the user of the clothing that does not correspond to the first clothing classification data is other than the group A. It can be identified as a user. If only the second clothing classification data of the group B is stored in the storage unit 20, the specific person determination unit 21 indicates that the user of the clothing that does not correspond to the second clothing classification data is a user other than the group B. Can be determined.

Next, a procedure for determining whether or not the user is a specific person in the elevator control device 6 and determining whether or not elevator operation is possible will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6 in order.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart in which the elevator control device 6 determines whether or not elevator operation is possible based on the first clothing classification data.

  First, the number-of-users determination unit 22 determines the presence / absence of a user in the car 2 based on image data captured by the camera 11 and transmitted to the elevator control device 6 (S1). The image data of the camera 11 may be sent directly from the camera 11 to the user number determination unit 22 or may be read once by the user number determination unit 22 from the image data stored in the storage unit 20. When it is determined that there is no user in the car 2 (S1: NO), the number-of-users determination unit 22 continues to determine whether there are any users in the car 2.

  When it is determined that there are users in the car 2 (S1: YES), the user number determination unit 22 determines whether there are a plurality of users in the car 2 (S2). When there are not a plurality of users in the car 2, that is, when there is only a single user (S2: NO), the image data obtained by photographing the user by the camera 11 is used as the clothing image data of the user this time. The data is stored in the storage unit 20 (S3). Next, the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 is the 1st user's clothing which is stored in the memory | storage part 20, and the 1st item concerning the specific person's clothing where the boarding similarly stored in the memory | storage part 20 is restrict | limited. The clothing classification data is compared (S4).

  Then, the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 discriminate | determines whether the clothing image data of a single this time user corresponds with the 1st clothing classification data stored previously (S5). If it is determined by the specific person determination unit 21 that they match (S5: YES), the operation control unit 15 does not permit the operation of the car 2 (S6). As described above, the operation control unit 15 does not permit the operation of the car 2 when any of the user characteristics included in the captured image data matches the characteristics of the specific person indicated in the first characteristic classification data. And the operation control part 15 maintains the car door 10 and the landing door 13 in an open state. For this reason, a user who gets in the car 2 cannot move to a different floor from the boarding floor.

  Further, since the user is not permitted to operate the car 2, the operation control unit 15 outputs an announcement command to the speaker 12. For example, an announcement from the speaker 12 such as "You cannot use the elevator. Please get off the car. Please get on with the passenger who can use the elevator." The user in the car 2 gets off the car once according to the announcement. Furthermore, even if a call is registered in the car 2 on another floor until the user gets off from the car 2, the operation control unit 15 performs control so that the car 2 does not respond to the call. For this reason, the car 2 maintains the car door 10 and the landing door 13 in the open state, and continues the state in which the car 2 is stopped. After all the users have exited from the car 2 or a certain time has elapsed, the process shown in FIG. 5 is resumed.

  On the other hand, if it is determined by the specific person determination unit 21 that the clothing image data of the user this time does not match the first clothing classification data stored in advance (S5: NO), the user who boarded alone will get on Is not a specific person who is restricted. At this time, the operation control unit 15 permits the operation of the car 2 to the user (S7). In this way, the operation control unit 15 permits the operation of the car 2 when the characteristics of at least one user included in the captured image data do not match the characteristics of the specific person indicated in the first characteristic classification data. . Then, the operation control unit 15 closes the car door 10 and the landing door 13 to provide the user with a service corresponding to the registered car call. With this service, a user who has boarded the car 2 can move to the intended destination floor.

  In step S2, when the number-of-users determination unit 22 determines that there are a plurality of users in the car 2 (S2: YES), the camera 11 captures a plurality of image data obtained by photographing a plurality of users. Is stored in the storage unit 20 as clothing image data of the current user (S8). Next, the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 compares the several clothing item image data of this time user stored in the memory | storage part 20, and the 1st clothing classification data similarly stored in the memory | storage part 20 (S9). .

  Then, the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 discriminate | determines whether all of several clothing user image data of this time user corresponds with either of the 1st clothing classification data stored beforehand (S10). When it is determined by the specific person determination unit 21 that they match (S10: YES), the operation control unit 15 does not permit the operation of the car 2 (S6). As described above, the operation control unit 15 does not permit the operation of the car 2 when any of the user characteristics included in the captured image data matches the characteristics of the specific person indicated in the first characteristic classification data. And the operation control part 15 maintains the car door 10 and the landing door 13 in an open state. This corresponds to, for example, a situation where all of a plurality of users who have entered the car 2 are infants.

  On the other hand, when it is determined by the specific person determination unit 21 that the specific person determination unit 21 does not match the first clothing classification data among the plurality of clothes image data of the user this time (S10: NO) The operation control unit 15 permits the operation of the car 2 (S11). From this, it is shown that at least one of the plurality of users who have entered the car 2 is a user who is permitted to board. For example, this corresponds to a situation in which a plurality of users who have entered the car 2 are hospitalized patients and doctors. In this way, the operation control unit 15 permits the operation of the car 2 when the characteristics of at least one user included in the captured image data do not match the characteristics of the specific person indicated in the first characteristic classification data. . Then, the operation control unit 15 closes the car door 10 and the landing door 13 to provide the user with a service corresponding to the registered car call.

  In the elevator apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment described above, the storage unit 20 stores in advance the first clothing classification data related to the clothing of the specific person whose boarding is restricted. And the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 discriminate | determines whether the present user's clothing image data image | photographed with the camera 11 and 1st clothing classification data are in agreement, and the operation control part 15 is. The operation of the car 2 is controlled based on the determination result. Then, the operation control unit 15 disallows or permits the operation of the car 2 based on the pass / fail of the user's clothing image data and the first clothing classification data. In this way, the specific person determination unit 21 does not perform comparison determination based on a face image as in the past, but makes a comparison determination based on the user's clothing, so that the user who has boarded the car 2 permits the use of the elevator. It is possible to more accurately determine whether or not the user is a good user. If the user is not permitted to use the elevator, the operation control unit 15 does not permit the operation of the car 2, maintains the car door 10 and the landing door 13 in an open state, and stops the car 2. And For this reason, even if the user gets on the car 2 by mistake, the user can safely get off the car 2.

  In addition, a user number determination unit 22 that determines whether or not there are a plurality of users in the car 2 is provided. When the number-of-users determination unit 22 determines that there are a plurality of users in the car 2, the specific person determination unit 21 sets the image data of all current users photographed by the camera 11 and the first number. The operation control unit 15 compares the first clothing classification data with the first clothing classification data, and determines whether or not the two clothing classification data match. Is not allowed to operate.

  In other words, the operation of the car 2 is permitted when the clothing image data and the first clothing classification data of at least one current user among a plurality of users who have entered the car 2 do not match. As a result, it is possible to determine whether there is only a specific person whose boarding is restricted in a state where a plurality of users are on board, or whether at least one of the users is permitted to use the elevator. It is possible to prevent deterioration of serviceability while ensuring.

[Second Embodiment]
Next, an operation example of the elevator apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this elevator apparatus, whether or not elevator operation is possible is determined based on the second clothing classification data.
FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the control device according to the second embodiment and determining whether or not the elevator operation is possible based on the second clothing classification data.

  First, the number-of-users determination unit 22 determines the presence / absence of a user in the car 2 based on image data captured by the camera 11 and transmitted to the elevator control device 6 (S21). In the present embodiment, the user number determination unit 22 does not acquire the number of users in the car 2. When it is determined that there is no user in the car 2 (S21: NO), the number-of-users determination unit 22 continues to determine whether there are any users in the car 2.

  When it is determined that there is a user in the car 2 (S21: YES), the user is photographed by the camera 11 and stored in the storage unit 20 as the clothing image data of the user this time (S22). In the second embodiment, it is not determined whether or not there are a plurality of users in the car 2 by the user number determination unit 22.

  Next, the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 is the 2nd item which concerns on the clothes of the specific person with the boarding similarly stored in the memory | storage part 20, and the user's clothing image data stored in the memory | storage part 20 similarly. The clothing classification data is compared (S23).

  Then, the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 discriminate | determines whether the user's clothing image data of this time and the 2nd clothing classification data stored previously correspond (S24). If the specific person determination unit 21 determines that the clothing image data of at least one user matches the second clothing classification data (S24: YES), the operation control unit 15 permits the operation of the car 2. (S25). In this way, the operation control unit 15 permits the operation of the car 2 when the characteristics of at least one user included in the captured image data match the characteristics of the specific person indicated in the second characteristic classification data. . Then, the operation control unit 15 closes the car door 10 and the landing door 13 to provide the user with a service corresponding to the registered car call.

  The reason why the service is provided to the user in this way is that at least one of the plurality of users who have entered the car 2 is a user who is permitted to board. On the other hand, if it is determined that the clothing image data of the current user does not match the second clothing classification data, whether single or multiple (S24: NO), the operation control unit 15 operates the car 2. Is not permitted (S26). As described above, the operation control unit 15 does not permit the operation of the car 2 when none of the characteristics of the user included in the captured image data matches the characteristics of the specific person indicated in the second characteristic classification data. And the operation control part 15 maintains the car door 10 and the landing door 13 in an open state. In other words, in order to ensure the safety of the user, it is assumed that the user who gets in the car 2 is a user who is restricted from riding regardless of whether the user is single or plural. The operation of the car 2 is not permitted. For this reason, a user who gets in the car 2 cannot move to a different floor from the boarding floor.

  In the elevator apparatus 1 according to the second embodiment described above, the second clothing classification data relating to the clothing of the specific person who is permitted to board is stored in the storage unit 20 in advance. And the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 discriminate | determines whether the present user's clothing image data image | photographed with the camera 11 and the 2nd clothing classification data correspond, and discriminate | determines, The operation control part 15 is. The operation of the car 2 is controlled based on the determination result. Then, the operation control unit 15 disallows or permits the operation of the car 2 based on the pass / fail of the user's clothing image data and the second clothing classification data. Thereby, it is possible to make a comparative determination based on the user's clothes, instead of the comparative determination based on the conventional face image. And it can discriminate | determine more precisely whether an elevator utilization may be permitted, and can aim at the improvement of safety | security.

  Further, the operation control unit 15 does not determine whether there are a plurality of users in the car 2 by the number-of-users determination unit 22, and the operation control unit 15 determines the clothing image data of the at least one current user and the second clothes. When the clothing classification data matches, the operation of the car 2 is permitted. For this reason, the propriety of operation can be determined with a fewer processing procedure compared with the process which determines the propriety of operation based on 1st clothing classification data based on 1st Embodiment mentioned above. In this way, it is possible to simplify the process by omitting the process of determining the presence or absence of a plurality of users in the car 2.

  As in the first embodiment, in the second embodiment, a process for determining whether there are a plurality of users in the car 2 by the number-of-users determination unit 22 and the use of the car 2 A process of determining the number of persons may be performed. And the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 is a feature of at least one user when a plurality of users get on the car 2 based on the number of users of the car 2 determined by the user number determination part 22. May be matched with the characteristics shown in the second clothing classification data. And based on this judgment result, operation control part 15 may judge permission or non-permission of operation of car 2, and may control operation of car 2.

[Modification]
In the first embodiment described above, the specific person is determined using the first clothing classification data, and in the second embodiment, the specific person is determined using the second clothing classification data. However, the specific person may be identified from the user who has boarded the car 2 by combining the first clothing classification data and the second clothing classification data. Thereby, for example, even if the feature of one user does not match the feature shown in the first clothing classification data, the user matches the feature shown in the second clothing classification data, so that this user And so on.

  Moreover, the specific person discrimination | determination part 21 may misrecognize a user, if only one clothing is made into discrimination | determination object.
