  The communication control unit 41A communicates with the second communication control unit 34 of the communication conversion device 30 and communicates with each car (car) in the corresponding bank. For example, the communication control unit 41A obtains the latest information about the car of each car such as the current position of the car of each car, the state of the car when the door is extended, the remaining battery capacity of the car, etc. To do.

  The number assigning unit 42A assigns one of the numbers A to D in the corresponding bank A using the data of the user information (destination floor information) received from the communication conversion device 30. The communication control unit 41A communicates with the car assigned by the car assigning part 42A, and moves the car of the car to the calling floor. Then, the data of the number assigned by the number assigning unit 42A (assigned number data) is transmitted to the communication conversion device 30 with the address information of the gate device 20 that transmitted the user information by the communication control unit 41A.

  Further, the group management device 40B includes a communication control unit 41B and a number assignment unit 42B, and the respective functions are the same as those of the communication control unit 41A and the number assignment unit 42A of the group management device 40A.

[Hardware configuration of each device]
Next, the hardware configuration of each device for realizing the function of the control system of the elevator gate interlocking system shown in FIG. 3 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating a hardware configuration example of each device included in the elevator gate interlocking system.

  Here, a hardware configuration example of the computer 60 included in the gate device 20, the communication conversion device 30, the group management devices 40A to 40C, and the user information registration device 50 described above will be described. In addition, each part of the computer 60 is selected according to the function and intended use of each apparatus.

  The computer 60 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 61, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 62, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 63, which are connected to a bus 64, respectively. Further, the computer 60 includes a display unit 65, an operation unit 66, a nonvolatile storage 67, a first communication interface 68, and a second communication interface 69.

  The CPU 61 is an example of a control unit, and reads out the program code of software that realizes each function according to the present embodiment from the ROM 62 and executes it. The computer 60 may include a processing device such as an MPU (Micro-Processing Unit) instead of the CPU 61. In the RAM 63, variables, parameters, and the like generated during the arithmetic processing of the CPU 61 and the like are temporarily written.

  The display unit 65 is a liquid crystal display monitor, for example, and displays a result of processing performed by the computer 60 and the like. For example, a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, or the like is used as the operation unit 66, and a user can perform predetermined operation inputs and instructions.

  For example, in the gate device 20, the operation unit 66 may be deleted. Further, the communication conversion device 30 and the group management device 40 can delete the display unit 65 and the operation unit 66. In addition, when the user information registration device 50 and the information medium 10 are in a communicable state, it is possible to operate the operation unit 66 to input the user's intended destination floor to the information medium 10.

  Examples of the non-volatile storage 67 include a hard disk drive (HDD), a solid state drive (SSD), a flexible disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, a CD-ROM, a CD-R, a magnetic tape, and a non-volatile memory card. Used. In addition to the OS (Operating System) and various parameters, the nonvolatile storage 67 may store a program for causing the computer 60 to function. For example, the non-volatile storage 67 of the communication conversion device 30 may store stop floor information (see FIG. 2) assigned to each bank, a table T1 (see FIG. 4), and the like.

  As the first communication interface 68 and the second communication interface 69, for example, a NIC (Network Interface Card) or the like is used, and various types of data are transmitted / received between the devices via a wired or wireless LAN network. It is possible. The first communication interface 68 may perform communication using a near field communication technology such as NFC.

  For example, the first communication control unit 21 and the second communication control unit 24 of the gate device 20 (see FIG. 3) correspond to the first communication interface 68 and the second communication interface 69. Further, the first communication control unit 31 and the second communication control unit 34 of the communication conversion device 30 correspond to the first communication interface 68 and the second communication interface 69. Further, the communication control units 41A to 41C of the group management devices 40A to 40C correspond to the first communication interface 68.

  Further, the communication control unit 51 of the user information registration device 50 corresponds to the first communication interface 68. The first communication control unit 21 of the gate device 20 and the communication control unit 51 of the user information registration device 50 perform communication by short-range wireless communication. The communication control unit 51 constitutes a card reader / writer that reads information stored in an IC card or the like or writes information to the IC card.

[Gate device display processing]
Next, the procedure of the display processing method in the gate device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an exemplary procedure of a display processing method in the gate device 20. The CPU 61 reads out and executes the program stored in the ROM 62 or the nonvolatile storage 67, thereby realizing the processing shown in FIG.

  Since the door of the gate device 20 is normally closed, in order for the user to pass through the gate device 20, the information medium 10 possessed by the user is read by the reading surface of the gate device 20 (the first surface in FIG. 3). Over the communication control unit 21). Then, the security processing unit 22 of the gate device 20 reads the user information stored in the memory of the information medium 10 and transmits the read user information to the communication conversion device 30 via the second communication control unit 24. To do. Then, in the communication conversion device 30, a communication conversion process for assigning the number of machines based on the user information is executed (S1). Details of this communication conversion processing will be described with reference to FIG.

  Thereafter, the security processing unit 22 waits for the assigned machine data to be sent from the communication conversion device 30, and periodically determines whether or not the assigned machine data has been received (S2). When the assigned machine data is not received (NO in S2), the security processing unit 22 returns to the process of step S2 for performing the communication conversion process.

  When the assigned machine data is received in step S2 (YES in S2), the security processing unit 22 displays the assigned machine on the display unit 23 (S3). The user confirms the assigned car number displayed on the display unit 23 of the gate device 20, and waits for the car to come to the corresponding car number.

  As described above, when the destination floor of the user does not correspond to the bank shared floor, the user information is transmitted to the group management device of the corresponding bank based on the destination floor information. However, when the user's destination floor corresponds to the bank shared floor, if the number assignment process is performed based only on the destination floor information, it may be guided to a different bank each time. As described above, for example, if the user is on the 10th bank shared floor (see FIG. 2), a machine belonging to bank B or bank C is assigned. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the communication conversion apparatus 30 performs the following process as shown in FIG.

[Communication conversion processing of communication converter]
FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a procedure example of a communication conversion processing method in the communication conversion device 30.

  In FIG. 7, when the bank determination unit 32 of the communication conversion device 30 receives the user information of the information medium 10 from the gate device 20, the bank determination unit 32 determines whether the bank information ID is included in the user information (S11). When the bank identification ID is included in the user information, the bank determination unit 32 determines whether or not the bank identification ID is normal (S12), and then manages the bank group corresponding to the bank identification ID. It is determined whether the device is normal (S13). Since it is normally normal (YES in S12, YES in S13), the bank determination unit 32 sends the user information including at least the bank identification ID and destination floor information to the corresponding bank group management device, for example, the group management device 40B. User information is transmitted (S14).

  On the other hand, if the bank identification ID is abnormal in step S12 (NO in S12), or if the group management device of the target bank is abnormal in step S13 (NO in S13), the bank determination unit 32 Data (abnormality guidance) indicating that each exceptional abnormality has occurred is transmitted to the gate device 20, and the abnormality guidance is displayed on the display unit 23 of the gate device 20 (S17). The bank determination part 32 will complete | finish the process of this flowchart, if the process of step S17 is performed.

  For example, when there are three banks A to C in the elevator, if the bank identification ID “DDD” indicating the bank D is included in the user information, it is determined that the bank identification ID is abnormal. The The group management device is abnormal when the response signal from the group management device exceeds the normal range and indicates an abnormal value, or when the response signal is not returned in the first place.

  After the process of step S14, the bank determination unit 32 determines whether or not to wait for the assigned machine data from the assigned group management device (for example, the group management device 40B) (S15), and waits for the received assigned machine data. If there is (YES at S15), the determination process at step S15 is continued.

  Next, when the assigned machine data is not waiting to be received in step S14, that is, when assigned machine data is received (NO in S15), the bank determination unit 32 transmits the assigned machine data to the gate device 20, and the gate device. The assigned number is displayed on the display unit 23 (S16). After the process of step S16 is complete | finished, the bank determination part 32 complete | finishes the process of this flowchart.

  When the bank identification ID is not included in the user information in step S11 (NO in S11), the bank determination unit 32 is determined in advance for each destination floor information stored in the nonvolatile storage 67 in advance. Current bank identification ID (determined bank identification ID) is acquired (S18). And the bank determination part 32 transfers to the process of step S13 after the process of step S18. In this case, since the bank identification ID is not included in the user information of the information medium 10, a table (not shown) in which the bank identification ID is determined in advance for each destination floor information and the information is registered is shown in FIG. These are created separately from the table T 1 and stored in the nonvolatile storage 67.

  Thereafter, in the assigned group management device, for example, the group management device 40B, the number assignment unit 42B assigns an appropriate number based on the destination floor information included in the received user information as in the normal case, and the assignment The machine data is notified to the display unit 23 of the gate device 20 through the communication conversion device 30.

  Therefore, the user of the bank shared floor uses the same bank number as usual except for an exception (when an abnormality is detected in S12 and S13) based on the bank identification ID stored in the information medium 10 possessed by the user. It will be. Thereby, the convenience of the user can be improved by assigning the number machine so that the user only has to use a specific hall (stop). In other words, it is possible to prevent the users of the bank shared floor from being assigned different bank machines each time as in the past.

  On the other hand, even when the bank identification ID is not included in the user information, the user information is transmitted to the bank group management device, for example, the group management device 40B, which is determined in advance corresponding to the destination floor information. Then, the same processing is performed in the group management device 40B. For this reason, even when the bank identification ID is not included in the user information, the same bank and hall (stop) are used every time. In this way, users of the bank shared floor, users of other floors, or even when the bank information ID is not included in the user information, the user can use a familiar bank or hall. .

[Bank assignment processing in user information registration device]
Next, a procedure example of the bank assignment processing method in the user information registration apparatus 50 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a procedure example of the bank assignment processing method in the user information registration apparatus 50. By performing this flowchart, the bank identification ID determined according to the destination floor is registered in the information medium 10 regardless of whether or not the user's destination floor is a bank shared floor. 1 to 3 exemplify three bank configurations of banks A to C, but FIG. 8 shows an example assuming four bank configurations of banks A to D.

  In FIG. 8, when the information medium 10 is first placed over the reading surface of the gate device 20 (corresponding to the communication control unit 51 in FIG. 3), the communication control unit 51 reads and reads the user information from the memory of the information medium 10. The user information data is sent to the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52. When the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 detects that the information medium 10 is held over the reading surface, it determines whether the elevator has a plurality of banks (S21). The process of this flowchart is terminated. When the elevator does not have a plurality of banks, it is not necessary to assign a bank, and it is possible to assign an appropriate number only by destination floor information.

  Next, when the elevator has a plurality of banks (YES in S21), the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 determines whether or not the bank shared floor is used based on the read user information ( S22). When the bank shared floor is used (YES in S22), the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 calculates the number of users in the bank (S23). The number of users is an example of an index representing the usage demand of each bank. For example, when the destination floor is the 10th floor, the number of users is calculated for bank B and bank C. The user information registration device 50 accumulates information on the number of users (banks and the number of users) assigned to each bank. Based on the information on the banks and the number of users, the usage of each bank is stored. It is possible to calculate a person.

  Next, the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 calculates the bank with the smallest number of users among the plurality of banks for which the number of users has been calculated (S24). Then, the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 registers the bank identification ID indicating the bank having the smallest number of users in the information medium 10 as user information by the communication control unit 51 (S25). The communication control unit 51 can not only read information from the information medium 10 but also write information to the memory of the information medium 10. After the process of step S25 is complete | finished, the process of this flowchart is complete | finished.

  On the other hand, when the bank shared floor is not used in step S22 (NO in S22), the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 determines whether the destination floor of the user information uses the stop floor of bank A. Is determined (S26). When the destination floor is the stop floor of bank A (YES in S26), the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 uses the communication control unit 51 to set the bank identification ID indicating the bank A as the user information as an information medium. 10 (S27).

  Next, when the destination floor is not the stop floor of the bank A (NO in S26), the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 determines whether or not the destination floor is the stop floor of the bank B (S28), When the destination floor is the stop floor of bank B (YES in S28), the bank identification ID indicating bank B is registered in the information medium 10 as user information (S29).

  Next, when the destination floor is not the stop floor of the bank B (NO in S28), the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 determines whether or not the destination floor is the stop floor of the bank C (S30), When the destination floor is the stop floor of the bank C (YES in S30), the bank identification ID indicating the bank C is registered in the information medium 10 as user information (S31).

  Next, when the destination floor is not the stop floor of the bank C (NO in S30), the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 determines whether or not the destination floor is the stop floor of the bank D (S32). When the destination floor is the stop floor of the bank D (YES in S32), the bank identification ID indicating the bank D is registered in the information medium 10 as user information (S33).

  Next, when the destination floor is not the stop floor of the bank D (NO in S32), the bank identification ID assignment processing unit 52 displays the usage floor included in the user information on the display unit 53 of the user information registration device 50. A screen showing that is abnormal is displayed (S34). When any one of steps S27, S29, S31, S33, and S34 is completed, the process of this flowchart is terminated.

  By performing the bank identification ID registration process in the user information registration device 50, the bank corresponding to the destination floor is stored in the information medium 10 regardless of whether the user's destination floor is a bank shared floor or not. An identification ID is registered.

  The elevator to be controlled according to the embodiment described above includes a plurality of banks A to C including group management devices 40A to 40C that manage a plurality of units, and each bank A to C shares a bank with each other. This elevator has a floor and provides services. In the present embodiment, based on the bank identification ID of the user information read from the information medium 10 possessed by the user by the gate device 20 (security processing unit 22), the communication conversion processing 30 is performed in the corresponding banks A to C. Control is performed so as to cause the group management devices 40A to 40C to assign units. That is, a bank identification ID is registered as user information in the user information medium 10 in advance, and the bank determination unit 32 of the communication conversion device 30 selects any one of the banks A to C corresponding to the bank identification ID. User information for assignment of the number machine is transmitted to the management apparatus.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the user is guided to any one of the banks A to C indicated by the bank identification ID registered in the information medium 10. According to such a configuration, a user on the bank shared floor avoids being assigned to a machine with a different bank configuration every time, and an exception (when an abnormality occurs) is based on the bank identification ID of the information medium 10 possessed by the user. Except for, the machine of the same bank as usual is assigned. As a result, the user uses the machine in the same bank as usual, and the convenience of the user is improved by using only a specific hall.
