The purpose of such an elevator system is to transport as many users as possible to a given floor per given time, and the user's waiting time tends to be long, especially at busy times such as work or lunch This leads to increased discomfort for the user.

  In order to solve this problem, for example, according to Patent Document 1, for many users who are waiting for the elevator at the platform, the user is detected by destination floor and the platform is provided by the boarding car guidance device provided in the elevator hall. An apparatus has been proposed for guiding a user by any guidance means up to a car or a car. As a guiding means, a speaker, a light, a display or the like is used to present a change in sound or illuminance, a video, or a guidance by communicating with a portable terminal held by the user.

  Further, as another example, in Patent Document 2, for the user waiting for the elevator at the landing, the number of people on board the elevator car assigned is detected by a camera or the like installed in the car, It has been proposed to calculate the number of people who can get on the car from the detected number of people in the room and the maximum loading capacity of the elevator car, and to notify the result to the user waiting at the landing.
