Description

The present invention relates to an elevator display system and an elevator display method.

Multiple elevators are installed in office buildings, condominiums, etc. In a general elevator system, the user operates the hall button (call button) installed in the elevator hall (boarding area), registers the hall call, and after the assigned car arrives, the user enters the car. Register the destination floor with the button operation of.

Conventional elevators require the operation of pressing the hall button and the operation of pressing the destination floor button in the car, but in recent years, a destination floor reservation system that registers the destination floor in the hall has been introduced. It is provided. The destination floor reservation system is a system that enables the user to call the hall and register the destination floor by using the destination registration device installed in the hall.

According to such a destination floor reservation system, since the destination floor is registered at the same time as calling the hall, the elevator control device can grasp the destination floor and assign the optimum unit to the user. The destination floor reservation system assumes that the user gets on the assigned elevator, but the final action depends on the user and may result in unexpected operation.
For example, Patent Document 1 describes a technique for grasping such a usage situation and making it possible to obtain appropriate information.

JP-A-2017-105604

As described in Patent Document 1, if a situation occurs in which a passenger does not get on the unit assigned at the time of registration and gets on another unit, the operation efficiency is lower than expected and the travel time is increased. .. It is conceivable that the destination floor registration device and the actual landing are separated from each other as a factor that causes passengers to board a unit other than the assigned unit. For example, if the assigned unit has not arrived yet and another unit arrives while moving from the installation location of the destination floor registration device to the platform of the unit guided, boarding the other unit. Is considered to be a condition for occurrence.

If you board a machine other than the one dispatched by the system during operation using the destination floor reservation system, the boarded machine will stop on an unexpected floor and the travel time for one round trip will increase.
On the other hand, in the car that was actually dispatched without getting on, there is a problem that an unnecessary stop occurs on the floor where no one gets off.

In addition, in the destination floor reservation system, based on the current elevator operation information and the situation of passengers already registered in the registration device, the number of passengers currently registered is constantly being examined. Therefore, when the number of registered passengers increases, the number to be guided may change. For example, in the subsequent registration in which a small number of users on the 5th floor and users on the 6th floor instructed to board the same machine, the users on the 5th floor, together with the pre-registered passengers, can accommodate one car. It is conceivable that a situation will occur that will be a minute. As an appropriate vehicle allocation in this case, it is preferable to combine only the users on the 5th floor into one unit because the travel time for one round trip can be reduced. Since such a situation occurs due to variations and biases in the floors used, it is difficult to estimate the situation even if the destination floor reservation system is used.
In this way, the destination floor reservation system handles the distribution of passengers in order to increase the operation rate, but even if such distribution is performed, there may be situations in which passengers board another unit. There was a situation in which operational efficiency declined due to changes in the number of passengers and other conditions.

An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator display system and an elevator display method that can appropriately provide guidance when passengers are sorted by destination floor reservation or the like.

In order to solve the above problems, for example, the configuration described in the claims is adopted.
The present application includes a plurality of means for solving the above problems. For example, an elevator display system that displays at an elevator platform, and detects a person who detects the presence of a passenger at the platform. Based on the information detected by the department and the information from the management department that grasps the operation status of the elevator, the passengers at the platform are distributed, and the guidance method is determined based on the distribution result. It is provided with a display device for displaying at the landing in a display form based on the guidance method determined by the unit.

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide appropriate guidance at the landing according to the situation where the passengers gather at the landing.

<Example of the first embodiment>
Hereinafter, examples of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 7.
[Display system configuration]
FIG. 1 shows the overall configuration of an elevator display system according to an example of the present embodiment.
The elevator display system of the present embodiment is installed at a landing on a predetermined floor (for example, the first floor) of an elevator having a plurality of units (for example, two units). Then, the elevator display system guides the elevator users at the landing to the number of the elevator to board and the position to wait.

As shown in FIG. 1, landing doors 11 and 12 of two elevators are arranged on the landing wall surface 10. The elevator display system of the embodiment is to display the guidance display 100 to the user who is waiting to get on the elevator car in front of the landing doors 11 and 12. A specific example of the guidance display 100 will be described later.

A person detection sensor 1 is installed at the elevator platform. As the person detection sensor 1, a surveillance camera, an infrared sensor, a card authentication device, a beacon, or the like is used. For example, a surveillance camera photographs a user at the landing and identifies the user by image recognition. Alternatively, a process for identifying the user is performed using a card authentication device or a beacon. In addition, an infrared sensor or a surveillance camera is used to detect the number of users at the landing.
The information about the user detected by the person detection sensor 1 is sent to the person detection unit 2.

When the person detection sensor 1 identifies a user, the person detection unit 2 acquires the destination floor information registered for each user. The information on the destination floor for each user acquired by the person detection unit 2 is supplied to the management system 3. Even when there are users whose destination floor cannot be specified, information such as the number of users whose destination floor cannot be specified is supplied to the management system 3.

Control panels 4 and 5 of two elevators are connected to the management system 3. Then, the management system 3 controls the operation of the car of the two elevators via the control panels 4 and 5. That is, the management system 3 controls the operation of the car of each of the first control panel 4 that controls the operation of the elevator of the first unit and the second control panel 5 that controls the operation of the elevator of the second unit. Send a command to control. In addition, the management system 3 acquires information on the operation status of each unit from the first control panel 4 and the second control panel 5. Then, the management system 3 controls the operation of each unit to an appropriate state based on the destination floor information of the user detected by the person detection unit 2. As the control of the appropriate state here, various controls such as a control that shortens the waiting time of each user at the landing and a control that improves the operation efficiency of each unit can be considered.

Here, in the embodiment of the present embodiment, the management system 3 can determine the number of users waiting at the landing and the destination floor of each user based on the information from the person detection unit 2.
Information on the operating status of the elevators of each unit determined by the management system 3, information on the number of users waiting at the platform and information on the destination floor of each user is supplied to the guidance unit 6.
The guidance unit 6 considers the optimum vehicle allocation for the passengers based on the information on the operation status of the elevators of each unit, the number of users waiting at the platform, and the information on the destination floor of each user, and the platform. Allocate the passengers in each unit to each unit, and determine the method of guiding the passengers based on the result of the allocation. At this time, the guidance unit 6 calculates, for example, the optimum travel time of each user, and performs guidance processing based on the calculation result. The optimum travel time is the travel time that minimizes the time that each passenger can reach the destination floor by elevator. However, it is necessary to appropriately allocate the stop floors of each unit so that all users are optimal.

Then, the information about the guidance method determined by the guidance unit 6 is sent to the display device 7.
The display device 7 uses the floor surface 8 of the landing to perform a guidance display 100 for guiding passengers by the guidance method determined by the guidance unit 6. The configuration of the display device 7 and an example of the guidance display 100 will be described later. Further, when the guidance unit 6 determines a guidance method for distributing passengers to a plurality of units, information such as the stop floor of each unit is returned to the management system 3 side, and each unit is controlled by the management system 3. Control to set the corresponding operating state.
When the display device 7 displays the guidance on the floor surface 8 of the landing, the passengers waiting at the landing can know whether to board Unit 1 or Unit 2, and arrive at the car at an appropriate position. I can wait.

[Hardware configuration example of induction unit]
FIG. 2 shows an example of hardware configuration when the guidance unit 6 is configured by a computer device.
The induction unit 6 shown in FIG. 2 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 6a, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 6b, and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 6c, respectively, which are connected to the bus. Further, the induction unit 6 includes a non-volatile storage 6d and a network interface 6e. Further, the display device 7 is also connected to the bus of the guidance unit 6, and the display is performed according to the instruction from the guidance unit 6.

The CPU 6a is an arithmetic processing unit that reads the program code of the software that executes the guidance processing in the guidance unit 6 from the ROM 6b and executes it.
Variables, parameters, etc. generated during the arithmetic processing are temporarily written in the RAM 6c.

For the non-volatile storage 6d, for example, a large-capacity information storage unit such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or an SSD (Solid State Drive) is used. The non-volatile storage 6d stores a program executed by the guidance unit 6, a history of past guidance processing, and the like.

For the network interface 6e, for example, a NIC (Network Interface Card) or the like is used. The network interface 6e transmits and receives various information to and from the management system 3.
Then, the guidance method is determined based on the result of executing the program under the control of the CPU 6a, and the information for displaying by the guidance method is sent from the guidance unit 6 to the display device 7.

The guidance unit 6 is configured by the computer shown in FIG. 2 as an example, and may be configured by a device other than the computer that performs arithmetic processing. For example, a part or all of the functions performed by the induction unit 6 may be realized by hardware such as FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) or ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit).

[Display device configuration example]
FIG. 3 shows a configuration example (Example 1) of the display device 7.
In the example shown in FIG. 3, as the display device 7, a projector 71 that projects an image on the floor surface 8 is installed on the ceiling of the landing. A display range 81 for projecting an image by the projector 71 is set on the floor surface 8 of the landing in front of the landing doors 11 and 12.

In the example of FIG. 3, an example is shown in which the guidance display 101 indicating the alignment line in which the elevator users are aligned and the guidance display 102 indicating the head position at the time of alignment are performed.
The guidance display 101 in FIG. 3 is a display of an alignment line indicating that the doors 11 and 12 are aligned in a row.
In FIG. 3, for simplification of the explanation, only one row is displayed as the guidance display 101 indicating the alignment line. For example, in front of the landing doors 11 and 12, each unit is individually displayed. Alignment lines may be displayed. Further, as will be described later, numbers such as the destination floor may be displayed by guidance, or figures or characters such as arrows may be displayed so that the machine can be identified.
In the case of the example of FIG. 3, since the projection is from the ceiling, the image is projected to the user at the place where the projected image and the user overlap, and a part of the image is not projected on the floor surface 8. There is. In particular, if the ceiling height is not sufficient, there is a possibility that there will be more shadows for passengers. In such a case, it is preferable to use the configuration shown in FIG. 4 described below.

FIG. 4 shows another configuration example (Example 2) of the display device 7.
In the example shown in FIG. 4, as the display device 7, a projector 72 that projects an image on the floor surface 8 is installed at a location 10a between the two landing doors 11 and 12 on the landing wall surface 10. In this case, the projector 72 is preferably installed so as not to protrude from the landing wall surface 10 so as to be embedded in the landing wall surface 10. The image projected by the projector 72 is an obliquely shifted image so that a distortion-free image is displayed in the display range 82 of the floor surface 8.

Even when the projector 72 shown in FIG. 4 is used, the guidance display 101 indicating the alignment line in which the elevator users are aligned and the guidance display 102 indicating the head position at the time of alignment are displayed as in the example of FIG. It can be carried out.
In the case of the example of FIG. 4, since the projection is from the landing wall surface 10, the projection is performed at the feet. Therefore, as compared with the case of projecting from the ceiling, the number of places projected to the user is relatively small, and a relatively good image can be projected onto the floor surface 8.

In the example of FIG. 4, an example in which the projector 72 is installed at a portion 10a substantially in front of the two landing doors 11 and 12 on the landing wall surface 10 is shown. On the other hand, the projector 72 may be installed at a place other than the front of the landing wall surface 10 so that the number of places projected on the passenger is reduced.

In the examples shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, one projector 71 and 72 are arranged in one landing, respectively, but a plurality of projectors may be arranged in one landing. When arranging a plurality of projectors, the plurality of projectors divide the display ranges 81 and 82 into a plurality of projectors, and each projector projects the divided images. Alternatively, a plurality of projectors may superimpose and project the same image on the display ranges 81 and 82 to reduce the possibility that the same image is not projected on the floor surface 8 due to the presence of customers.

Further, in the examples shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the case where the projectors 71 and 72 are used is assumed, but a display device other than the projector may be used as the display device 7.
For example, a light emitting element such as a light emitting diode may be directly embedded in the floor surface 8, and the guided display 101 or 102 may be performed by the embedded light emitting element.
Any configuration may be used as the display device 7 as long as appropriate display is possible, but for example, when a display element is embedded in the floor surface, a relatively large-scale construction work is required for embedding in the floor surface 8. Is required, and it is expected that maintenance will be large-scale. On the other hand, when the projector 71 or 72 is used, maintenance is easy.

[Flow of processing for guidance display]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing in which the display device 7 performs guidance display based on the guidance processing by the guidance unit 6.
First, the person detection unit 2 detects a person (customer) at the landing based on the detection by the person detection sensor 1 or the like (step S11). The person information detected by the person detection unit 2 is sent from the person detection unit 2 to the guidance unit 6 via the management system 3.

The guidance unit 6 determines whether or not the number of passengers at the landing is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value (step S12). In step S12, when the number of passengers at the landing is less than the threshold value (NO in step S12), the process returns to the passenger detection process in step S11.
Then, when it is determined in step S12 that the number of passengers at the landing is equal to or greater than the threshold value (YES in step S12), the guidance unit 6 examines and examines the optimum distribution of the units to be used by that number of passengers (step S13). The resulting guidance method is determined. Then, the guidance unit 6 performs guidance display based on the determined guidance method by the display device 7 (step S14).
The guidance display performed here is, for example, a display in which the user is divided into two units according to the destination floor of the user. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, which will be described later, a display is performed such that the units are assigned to each getting-off floor.
Further, before the guidance display in step S14 is performed, that is, in the steps S11 to S12, only the guidance displays 101 and 102 indicating the alignment line and the head position are performed as shown in FIG. 6 described later.

As the threshold value in step S12, for example, when the number of installed elevators is two or more, the threshold value is set to the capacity of two units or a predetermined number close to the capacity of two units. By doing so, since the information on the capacity of the two units is already known, the guidance unit 6 has two units so as to minimize the number of stops and the travel time of the passengers of the two units. Passengers can be assigned to the elevator of Unit No.

On the other hand, if the guidance unit 6 guides the passengers in a situation where the number of passengers is not sufficiently gathered, the guidance unit 6 will guide the passengers to the same person again with the guidance of the new optimum vehicle allocation by adding the passengers at the landing after that. There is a possibility of moving in front of the No. 1 machine. Therefore, in the process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the guidance display in step S14 is performed only when a sufficient number of people equal to or larger than the capacity are gathered.

Further, in the examination of the optimum distribution, the distribution method can be examined depending on the situation of the user each time the distribution is performed. For example, when there is a large variation in the users of each floor of the target floor, the travel time of the users to the higher floors can be minimized by weighting the number of people and the floors.

As other distribution methods, a method of dividing the even-numbered floors and the odd-numbered floors into different units, and a method of dividing the upper floors and the lower floors into different units can be considered. Whether it is appropriate or not can be appropriately determined according to the situation of the user's floor, and the user can be guided so that the travel time of one operation is minimized.
In the explanation of the flowchart of FIG. 5, a system that starts guidance when the capacity of two units is reached is shown. In such a case, the optimum conditions may be determined before the capacity of the two units is reached.

[Example of specific guidance display]
Next, a specific example of the guidance display will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7.
FIG. 6 shows a case where the guidance displays 101 and 102 indicating the alignment line and the head position described with reference to FIGS. 3 and 4 are performed. The guidance display 101 indicating the alignment line in this case shall be approximately in the center of the landing doors 11 and 12 of the two units. The guidance displays 101 and 102 showing the alignment line and the head position shown in FIG. 6 are always displayed on the floor surface 8 even before the guidance method is determined, and when the guidance method in the guidance unit 6 is determined, the following FIG. It switches to the display that sorts such as.

FIG. 7 is a display example after the distribution to the two units is decided. That is, in step S12 of the flowchart of FIG. 5, a display example is shown when the number of passengers at the landing reaches the capacity (or a predetermined number close to the capacity) of the two units.

In the example of FIG. 7, the guidance display 115 indicating the alignment line is displayed on the floor surface 8 between the two landing doors 11 and 12, and the floor surface 8 in front of the landing doors 11 and 12 of each unit is also displayed. Guidance displays 116 and 117 indicating the alignment lines for each unit are performed. Then, guidance displays 111 and 112 indicating the stop floors of each unit by numbers are performed on the floor surface 8, and guidance displays 113 and 114 of arrows indicating movement for each stop floor are performed on the floor surface 8. The guidance display 118 indicates the head position of each column.

By performing such guidance displays 111 to 118, it becomes possible to appropriately distribute and guide the passengers at the landing to each unit.
In other words, when the number of passengers gathers more than a certain number, it is possible to consider the optimum operation within that number of passengers, and even if there is a large variation in the floors used, one travel time (the time required for one round trip of the car). ) Can be shortened and the operation efficiency can be improved. In addition, if the number of people detected is small (the capacity has not been reached) and the passengers are guided, there is a possibility that the vehicle will not be properly dispatched depending on the passengers who come later. Therefore, it is preferable to guide passengers after a certain number of passengers have gathered.

<Example of the second embodiment>
Next, an example of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 8 to 12. In FIGS. 8 to 12 for explaining the second embodiment, the same parts as those in FIGS. 1 to 7 described in the first embodiment are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted.
[Display system configuration]
FIG. 8 shows the overall configuration of the elevator display system of the present embodiment.
Also in the second embodiment, the person detection sensor 1, the person detection unit 2, the management system 3, and the like are installed at a landing on a predetermined floor (for example, the first floor) of an elevator having a plurality of units (for example, two units). The configurations of the first control panel 4, the second control panel 5, and the guide unit 6 are the same as those in the example of FIG.
Then, in the present embodiment, the display device 7a is different from the display device 7 described in the first embodiment.

The display device 7a of the present embodiment is a projector 71 or 72 or the like described in the first embodiment, which displays guidance on the floor surface 8 of the landing and has doors on the upper parts of the landing doors 11 and 12. The upper display units 201 and 202 are provided to perform guidance display.
Display elements such as liquid crystal displays are used as the display units 201 and 202 on the door.

The display units 201 and 202 on the door may display the same arrows and stop floors as the floor surface 8, but details such as the number of people getting off at each stop floor and the estimated arrival time to each stop floor. Information may be displayed.
FIG. 9 shows an example of the detailed information screen 201a displayed on the door upper display unit 201.
In the example of FIG. 9, the time (number of seconds) until the car arrives at the landing door 11 is displayed as "Coming 30s". In addition, the number of people getting off at each stop floor "User" is displayed, and the estimated arrival time (seconds) "Time" to each stop floor is displayed.

The display of detailed information as shown in FIG. 9 using the display units 201 and 202 on the door is performed at the stage when the users can be assigned. Alternatively, detailed information as shown in FIG. 9 may be displayed regardless of the presence or absence of guidance by the guidance unit 6. However, in the situation where the guidance unit 6 is not guiding, the display of some information such as the number of people getting off at each stop floor may be omitted. This is because this information is not fixed until the guidance method is decided.

[Flow of processing for guidance display]
FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a flow of a process in which the display device 7a performs a guidance display based on the guidance processing by the guidance unit 6 in the second embodiment.
First, the person detection unit 2 detects a person (customer) at the landing based on the detection by the person detection sensor 1 or the like (step S21). The person information detected by the person detection unit 2 is sent from the person detection unit 2 to the guidance unit 6 via the management system 3.

Next, the guidance unit 6 determines which unit is waiting for arrival from the position of the landing where each passenger is waiting (step S22). For example, the guidance unit 6 determines the number of people lined up on the guidance line (guidance display 116, 117, etc. shown in FIG. 7) for each unit.

Then, the guidance unit 6 determines whether or not the number of people determined in step S22 is the capacity (or a predetermined number close to the capacity) of the target unit (step S23).
In step S23, if the number of people waiting for the target machine is not the capacity (NO in step S23), the process returns to the customer detection process in step S21.

Then, in step S23, when it is determined that the number of people waiting for the target unit is equal to or greater than the capacity (YES in step S23), the guidance unit 6 has reached the capacity on the door display unit 201 or 202 of the corresponding unit. Is displayed. For example, the display unit 201 or 202 on the door displays such as "This elevator cannot be used even if it is lined up any more."

Then, the guidance unit 6 determines whether or not the number of passengers at the landing is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold value (step S25). In step S25, when the number of passengers at the landing is less than the threshold value (NO in step S25), the process returns to the passenger detection process in step S21.
Then, when it is determined in step S25 that the number of passengers at the landing is equal to or greater than the threshold value (YES in step S25), the guidance unit 6 examines and examines the optimum distribution of the units to be used by that number (step S26). The resulting guidance method is determined. Then, the guidance unit 6 executes the guidance display based on the determined guidance method on the display device 7a (step S27).

As the threshold value in step S25, for example, when the number of installed elevators is two or more, the threshold value is set to the capacity for the second unit or the capacity for the second unit, as in the first embodiment. A predetermined number close to.
By doing so, since the information on the number of passengers for the two units is already known in the guidance unit 6, the number of stops and the travel time of the passengers should be minimized in the two units. Passengers can be distributed to the elevators.
Further, in the case of the second embodiment, the door upper display units 201 and 202 are provided to display detailed information as shown in FIG. 9, thereby guiding the user to each unit. Can be validated. This can be expected to reduce the situation of not following the guidance.

In this way, according to the second embodiment, the user can determine the number of the user to board by displaying the number of users and the time to the floor on the machine used by the regular passenger. It will be possible. In particular, by displaying detailed information on the display units 201 and 202 on the door, more appropriate guidance for passengers becomes possible. In addition, when the number of passengers gathers more than a certain number, it is possible to consider the optimum operation within that number of passengers, and even if there is a large variation in the floors of passengers, the travel time of each car (one round trip). Can be shortened.
Even in the case of the second embodiment, if the number of people detected is small and the number of people detected is small, the guidance may not be appropriate. It is preferable to do so.

[Example of specific guidance display]
Next, a specific example of the guidance display will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 and 12.
FIG. 11 shows a display image in which the guidance displays 121 and 122 on the floor surface for each unit and the door display units 201 and 202 for each unit are combined.
The display units 201 and 202 on the door display detailed information of the unit as shown in FIG. 9, for example.
Here, when the position where the user waits moves in front of another unit, it is necessary to update the user information. For example, the number of people getting off on each floor and the expected arrival time may change, making it difficult to obtain information correctly. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 11, it is preferable to display the guidance displays 121 and 122 indicating the range of the waiting position in front of each unit.

By setting the range of the guidance displays 121 and 122 indicating the range of the waiting position to be equal to or larger than the space used in the car of each unit (the size of the floor of the car), the passengers can get into each unit in advance. Can judge, and it is possible to judge in advance whether or not to board.

In addition, as a factor of the increase in travel time, the door opening time due to the situation that the user on the upper floor gets in the vicinity of the door, goes out of the car once every time it stops on the lower floor, and gets in again. Is expected to increase. Here, in the second embodiment, by displaying the detailed information as shown in FIG. 9, the user can be presented with the disembarkation floor of another user who gets into the same car. Therefore, each passenger can independently examine the boarding position, and can suppress the boarding of the high-rise user to the door side. In addition, by performing the guidance displays 121 and 122 indicating the detection range, it is possible to present a range equivalent to the actual car size in advance, and it is possible to eliminate the concern that the car may not be able to ride. As a result, it becomes possible to wait for a car in consideration of the boarding position, such as waiting behind the frames of the guidance displays 121 and 122 of the users on the lower floors.

FIG. 12 shows a specific display example in which the guidance displays 121 and 122 on the floor surface for each unit and the door display units 201 and 202 for each unit are combined.
In the example of FIG. 12, "5F" is displayed with an arrow on the door upper display unit 201 of one unit, and "7F" is displayed with an arrow on the door upper display unit 202 of the other unit, and the vehicle gets off on the 5th floor. An example of inducing a passenger and a passenger getting off the 7th floor to wait in front of another unit is shown. Further, as the display of the floor surface, the arrow display 123 on the 5th floor and the arrow display 124 on the 7th floor are similarly displayed.

By performing such a display, it is possible to more appropriately guide the passengers based on the distribution result of the passengers for each stop floor, which can contribute to the improvement of the operation efficiency of the elevator. In addition, even when re-sorting is performed due to an increase in the number of users after sorting, it becomes possible to appropriately guide each user by the re-sorting.

<Modification example>
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, but includes various modifications.
For example, in the example of each display form, the display example is performed in front of the landing doors 11 and 12 of the two elevators. On the other hand, even in the landing where the landing doors of three or more elevators are arranged, the same guidance process may be used to distribute the elevators to three or more elevators.

Further, in the flowcharts of FIGS. 5 and 10, when the number of passengers in the two elevator cars reaches or is close to the capacity, the optimum travel time is calculated and guidance processing is performed based on the calculation result. I made it. On the other hand, when the capacity of one car or a predetermined number of people close to the capacity is reached, the optimum travel time may be calculated and guidance processing may be performed based on the calculation result.

Further, in each of the above-described examples of the embodiment, it is assumed that the disembarkation floor for each user can be determined by the identification of the user or the like, but even if the disembarkation floor for each user is unknown, each example will be described. Guidance display may be performed to sort out waiting passengers. When the disembarkation floor for each user is unknown, it is preferable to display the arrow on the floor surface as described in FIG. 7 or display the arrow on the display units 201 and 202 on the door to sort the items. ..

In addition, the above-described embodiment examples have been described in detail in order to explain the present invention in an easy-to-understand manner, and are not necessarily limited to those having all the described configurations.
Further, in the above-described embodiment, the apparatus or system configuration may be changed, and some processing procedures may be omitted or replaced within a range that does not change the gist of the present invention.
In addition, information such as a program that performs guidance processing can be stored in a memory, a hard disk, a recording device such as an SSD (Solid State Drive), or a recording medium such as an IC card, an SD card, or an optical disk.

Furthermore, in the block diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 8, only control lines and information lines that are considered necessary for explanation are shown, and not all control lines and information lines are necessarily shown in the product. .. In practice, it can be considered that almost all configurations are interconnected. Further, in the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 5 and 10, a plurality of processes may be executed at the same time or the processing order may be changed as long as the processing results are not affected.
