Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each figure, the same or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals. Duplicate descriptions will be simplified or omitted as appropriate. The present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described below.

Embodiment 1.
The elevator control device 2 according to the first embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 based on the elevator system 100.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the elevator system 100 of the first embodiment. The elevator system 100 includes a reading means 1, an elevator control device 2, and an elevator 3.

The reading means 1 is a means for reading the authentication information stored in the mobile information terminal possessed by the elevator user. The reading means 1 is, for example, a reading device mounted on a security gate installed in a passage leading to an elevator landing in a building, an IC card reader, or the like. When the reading means 1 reads the authentication information from the elevator user's personal digital assistant, the reading means 1 transmits the reading time information and the authentication information regarding the reading time to the elevator control device 2.

The authentication information includes elevator user identification information, destination floor information, elevator user attribute information, and the like. The identification information is, for example, personal information such as an identification number, a name, and an affiliation. Further, the attribute information is information related to the attributes of users such as general users, persons with disabilities, and VIP users. The information to be included in the authentication information can be arbitrarily determined.

In the elevator system 100 of the present disclosure, it is assumed that the elevator user possesses a mobile information terminal that stores authentication information regarding the use of the elevator. The mobile information terminal is, for example, a mobile terminal such as an IC card or a smartphone equipped with an IC tag.

In the elevator system 100, the elevator control device 2 controls each elevator 3. Further, the elevator control device 2 can be used in combination with a security gate including a reading device and a display device for displaying information about the car registered on the destination floor. Although FIG. 1 shows an elevator system 100 having two elevators 3, the number of elevators is not limited to this, and the same applies to other embodiments described below.

The elevator control device 2 includes an authentication information acquisition unit 4, a storage unit 5, a user determination unit 6, and an operation allocation unit 7.

The authentication information acquisition unit 4 receives the reading time information and the authentication information transmitted from the reading means 1. The authentication information acquisition unit 4 analyzes the authentication information and acquires identification information, destination floor information, and the like.

The storage unit 5 stores in advance the boarding schedule for each elevator user. The boarding schedule is, for example, a time zone in which the elevator user uses the elevator 3. The boarding schedule is information corresponding to the identification information included in the authentication information for each elevator user. The storage unit 5 can use a storage device such as an HDD, and may be a storage device used by connecting to the elevator control device 2 from the outside.

For example, in an office building equipped with an elevator system used in combination with authentication at a security gate or the like, the boarding schedule is a time zone unique to the elevator user. That is, the time zone when a person who goes in and out of a certain office goes to work or the time zone when he / she leaves the office corresponds to the boarding schedule. In addition, the boarding schedule may include a time zone peculiar to the elevator user, such as a time zone in which the elevator is used at lunch time. As described above, the boarding schedule is not limited to one time zone from a predetermined start time to the end time, but is a time zone peculiar to the elevator user according to the usage time zone of the elevator user.

As will be explained in detail later, the boarding schedule can be updated according to the usage status of elevator users.

The user determination unit 6 receives the reading time information, the identification information, the destination floor information, and the like transmitted from the authentication information acquisition unit 4. The user determination unit 6 acquires the boarding schedule corresponding to the identification information from the storage unit 5. The user determination unit 6 determines whether the use of the elevator 3 by the elevator user is a regular use or a non-regular use based on the boarding schedule. If the reading time information is within the range of the boarding schedule, the user determination unit 6 determines that the use is normal. The range of the boarding schedule means that it is within the range of the usage time zone which is the boarding schedule. If the reading time information is included in the usage time zone, it is judged to be regular usage. The range of the boarding schedule includes the start time and the end time, which are the boundaries of the usage time zone.

In addition, a time zone other than the determined usage time zone may be additionally set in the boarding schedule. For example, if the boarding schedule is from 8:00 to 9:00 and an elevator user plans to use it between 12:00 and 13:00 on a specific usage day, it will be from 12:00 to 13:00. The time zone of 00 minutes may also be set as a boarding schedule.

The user determination unit 6 determines that the elevator is non-regular use when the read time information is out of the range of the boarding schedule. Note that "out of the range of the boarding schedule" does not include the boundary between the start time and the end time of the usage time zone. Therefore, the user determination unit 6 can detect the non-regular use of the elevator based on the boarding schedule.

When the user judgment unit 6 makes a judgment of the user of the elevator 3, the user judgment unit 6 transmits the judgment information and the destination floor information related to the judgment to the operation allocation unit 7.

When the operation allocation unit 7 receives the determination information, the destination floor information, and the like from the user determination unit 6, the operation allocation unit 7 allocates the car based on the determination information. Specifically, when the user determination unit 6 determines that the user is a regular user, the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car based on the destination floor information and registers the destination floor. In this way, the operation allocation unit 7 registers the destination floor based on the authentication information. The elevator control device 2 may accept the destination floor information when it is determined to be a regular use by inputting the destination floor of the user. Further, when the user determination unit 6 determines that the user is a non-regular user, the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car based on the specific floor information and registers the destination floor. Here, the specific floor means a floor that does not require security release authentication in order to enter the area of the floor, for example, a floor where a security room where security guards are assigned exists. Further, the operation allocation unit 7 may receive the specific floor information from the user determination unit 6, or the operation allocation unit 7 may be provided in advance.

The elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator based on the destination floor registration for the car assigned by the operation allocation unit 7. In this way, the elevator control device 2 operates the elevator 3 to the destination floor or a specific floor intended by the elevator user. That is, it can be said that the elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator for non-regular use. In addition, the operation to the specific floor will be performed by direct operation from the boarding floor to the specific floor. As a result, it is possible to prevent non-regular users from getting off on floors other than specific floors.

Therefore, when the elevator user loses the authentication medium, the elevator control device 2 uses the elevator by another person for non-regular use before registering the authentication medium as an authentication medium for which authentication should be rejected. It can detect and operate elevators for non-regular use.

Further, when the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car that operates to a specific floor, the operation allocation unit 7 may not allocate the car to other users. By doing so, it is possible to prevent other users from riding in the same car as non-regular users.

Subsequently, the operation of the elevator control device 2 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator control device 2 according to the first embodiment. First, the reading means 1 reads the authentication information from the mobile information terminal of the elevator user. The elevator control device 2 receives the read authentication information (ST101). Here, the elevator control device 2 receives the reading time information in which the authentication information is read together with the authentication information. The authentication information and the reading time information received by the elevator control device 2 are transmitted to the authentication information acquisition unit 4.

The authentication information acquisition unit 4 analyzes the authentication information, acquires the identification information and the destination floor information, and transmits the identification information and the destination floor information to the user determination unit 6 together with the reading time information (ST102).

The user determination unit 6 acquires a boarding schedule from the storage unit based on the identification information received from the authentication information acquisition unit 4. The user determination unit 6 determines whether or not the read time information is within the boarding schedule range (ST103).

When the reading time information is within the boarding schedule range, the user determination unit 6 transmits the determination information and the destination floor information to the operation allocation unit 7 (YES in ST103).

When the reading time information is out of the boarding schedule range, the user determination unit 6 transmits the determination information and the specific floor information to the operation allocation unit 7 (NO in ST103).

When the operation allocation unit 7 receives the determination information and the destination floor information from the user determination unit 6, the operation allocation unit 7 registers the destination floor for regular use (ST104). Specifically, the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car based on the judgment information and the destination floor information, and registers the destination floor.

The elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator based on the registration of the destination floor for regular use performed by the operation allocation unit 7 (ST105). When the elevator 3 arrives at the floor registered as the destination floor, a series of operations is completed.

Further, when the operation allocation unit 7 receives the judgment information and the specific floor information from the user judgment unit 6, the operation allocation unit 7 registers the destination floor for non-regular use (ST106). Specifically, the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car based on the judgment information and the specific floor information, and registers the destination floor.

The elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator 3 based on the registration of the destination floor for non-regular use performed by the operation allocation unit 7 (ST105). When the elevator 3 arrives at the specific floor registered on the destination floor, a series of operations is completed.

As described above, the elevator control device 2 according to the first embodiment acquires the elevator user authentication information and the reading time information regarding the reading time when the reading means is used from the reading means 1 for reading the information about the elevator user. User who determines that the use is normal when the reading time information is within the range of the elevator user's boarding schedule, and determines that it is non-regular use when the reading time information is outside the range of the boarding schedule. If the judgment unit 6 and the user judgment unit 6 determine that the user is a regular user, the destination floor is registered based on the authentication information, and if the user judgment unit 6 determines that the user is a non-regular user, the non-regular user is operated. It is an elevator control device 2 that includes an operation allocation unit 7 that registers a destination floor based on specific floor information regarding a specific floor, and controls the operation of an elevator based on the destination floor registration.

According to such a configuration, when the elevator user loses the authentication medium, the elevator control device 2 uses the authentication medium by another person before registering the authentication medium as the authentication medium to be rejected. It is possible to detect non-regular use of elevators and operate elevators for non-regular use.

Further, when the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car to operate on a specific floor, the elevator control device 2 may not allocate the car to other users.

With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent other users from riding in the same car as non-regular users.

Further, as a modification of the elevator control device 2 according to the first embodiment, the normal use operation allocation unit 8 and the non-regular use operation allocation unit 9 may be provided as the operation allocation unit 7. FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a modified example of the elevator control device 2 according to the first embodiment.

The regular use operation allocation unit 8 receives the determination information determined by the user determination unit 6 to be regular use, the destination floor information, and the like. The regular use operation allocation unit 8 allocates the car and registers the destination floor based on the destination floor information.

Further, the non-regular use operation allocation unit 9 receives the determination information determined by the user determination unit 6 to be non-regular use, the specific floor information, and the like. The non-regular use operation allocation unit 9 allocates the car and registers the destination floor based on the specific floor information. Further, the non-regular use operation allocation unit 9 enables switching between enabling and disabling the car allocation function.

As described above, the elevator control device 2 according to the modified example of the first embodiment can easily switch whether the non-regular use operation allocation unit 9 enables or disables the car allocation function. When the non-regular use operation allocation unit 9 disables the car allocation function, the elevator control device 2 does not allocate the car for the non-regular use.

Embodiment 2.
Subsequently, the elevator control device 2 according to the second embodiment will be described based on the elevator system 100. FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the elevator system 100 according to the second embodiment. In the following description, the configuration different from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the configuration similar to the first embodiment may be omitted as appropriate. The elevator system 100 according to the second embodiment is different from the elevator system 100 of the first embodiment in that the elevator control device 2 includes a boarding schedule processing unit 10.

The elevator control device 2 includes an authentication information acquisition unit 4, a storage unit 5, a user determination unit 6, an operation allocation unit 7, and a boarding schedule processing unit 10.

The boarding schedule processing unit 10 receives the reading time information, the identification information acquired by analyzing the authentication information by the authentication information acquisition unit 4, and the destination floor information. The boarding schedule processing unit 10 updates the boarding schedule corresponding to the identification information based on the read time information. The boarding schedule processing unit 10 sets a time zone in which the elevator user uses the elevator from the identification information, the corresponding boarding schedule, and the newly read reading time information, and updates the boarding schedule. The boarding schedule is updated by updating the boarding schedule stored in the storage unit 5 by the boarding schedule processing unit 10.

The user determination unit 6 receives the reading time information, the identification information, the destination floor information, and the like transmitted from the authentication information acquisition unit 4. The user determination unit 6 acquires the boarding schedule corresponding to the identification information from the storage unit 5. The boarding schedule acquired by the user determination unit 6 is a boarding schedule updated by the boarding schedule processing unit 10. The user determination unit 6 determines whether the use of the elevator 3 by the elevator user is a regular use or a non-regular use based on the boarding schedule.

When the user determination unit 6 determines that the user is a regular user, the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car based on the destination floor information and registers the destination floor. Further, when the user determination unit 6 determines that the user is a non-regular user, the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car based on the specific floor information and registers the destination floor. The elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator 3 based on the destination floor registration for the car assigned by the operation allocation unit 7.

As described above, in the elevator control device 2, the boarding schedule processing unit 10 updates the boarding schedule and controls the operation of the elevator 3 based on the updated boarding schedule. As a result, the operation of the elevator 3 can be controlled using the boarding schedule according to the usage status of the elevator user.

Subsequently, the operation of the elevator control device 2 of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator control device 2 of the second embodiment. The description of the same operation as that of the first embodiment will be omitted. This also applies to the following embodiments.

Subsequently, the authentication information acquisition unit 4 transmits the identification information, the destination floor information, and the reading time information to the boarding schedule processing unit 10 (ST201). Upon receiving each information, the boarding schedule processing unit 10 updates the boarding schedule corresponding to the identification information based on the read time information (ST202). Each operation of ST201 and ST202 may be performed between the operations of ST101 and ST102.

As described above, the elevator control device 2 according to the second embodiment further includes a boarding schedule processing unit 10, and the boarding schedule processing unit 10 is based on the elevator user authentication information and the reading time read by the reading means 1. This is an elevator control device 2 that updates the boarding schedule.

According to such a configuration, the elevator control device 2 can control the operation of the elevator 3 by using the boarding schedule according to the usage situation of the elevator user.

Further, as a modification 1 of the second embodiment, the elevator control device 2 can also control the operation of the elevator 3 by acquiring the usage status of the elevator user for a certain period of time and updating the boarding schedule. This will be described in detail below. The configuration of the elevator system 100 of the first modification of the second embodiment is the same as the configuration of FIG.

The boarding schedule processing unit 10 sets the usage status acquisition period for acquiring the usage status to, for example, 3 months in order to make the boarding schedule conform to the usage status of the elevator user. The boarding schedule processing unit 10 receives the reading time information, the identification information acquired by analyzing the authentication information by the authentication information acquisition unit 4, and the destination floor information. The boarding schedule processing unit 10 determines whether or not the usage status acquisition period has elapsed, and if the period has not passed, the boarding schedule processing unit 10 updates the identification information and the corresponding boarding schedule based on the read time information. Get the usage status. The boarding schedule to be updated is created, for example, as a boarding schedule from the acquired usage status to the time zone from the earliest time to the latest reading time.

When the use of the elevator user has passed the usage status acquisition period, the boarding schedule processing unit 10 updates the schedule created from the usage status acquired in the period as the boarding schedule. The elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator 3 based on the updated boarding schedule.

As described above, in the elevator control device 2, the boarding schedule processing unit 10 acquires the usage status for a certain period of time, sets the boarding schedule, and controls the operation of the elevator 3. This makes it possible to control the operation of the elevator 3 using a boarding schedule that more accurately represents the usage status of the elevator users.

Subsequently, the operation of the elevator control device 2 of the first modification of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator control device 2 of the first modification of the second embodiment.

The operation of the elevator control device 2 of the modification 1 of the second embodiment is the same as the operation of the second embodiment in that it is determined whether or not the usage status acquisition period has elapsed and the boarding schedule is updated according to the determination result. different.

The boarding schedule processing unit 10 determines whether or not the usage status acquisition period has elapsed (ST211). Here, if the usage status acquisition period has passed, the process proceeds to the next ST103 (YES in ST211). On the other hand, if the usage status acquisition period has not elapsed (NO in ST211), the boarding schedule processing unit 10 updates the boarding schedule corresponding to the identification information based on the read time information (ST202). Then proceed to ST103.

Further, as a modification 2 of the second embodiment, the elevator control device 2 calculates a boarding schedule based on the usage status of the elevator user acquired by the boarding schedule processing unit 10 and sets the boarding schedule as the boarding schedule. It is also possible to control the operation of the elevator. This will be described in detail below.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a reading time and a number of times of use, which are usage situations for each elevator user in the second modification of the second embodiment.

FIG. 7 shows the usage status of elevator users to which identification numbers 0001, 0002, 1000, and 2000 are assigned as identification information. The reading time and the number of times of use are shown as the usage status of each elevator user. For example, for the elevator user whose identification number is 0001, the number of times of use in the time zone from 7:30 to 9:30 is registered. The reading time is shown divided every 5 minutes. For example, when the reading time is 8:00, the number of uses is 12 times. Here, the reading time of 8:00 includes the reading performed between 8:00:00 and 8:04:59.

FIG. 7 describes information that has been read when the elevator 3 is used after the mobile information terminal such as an IC card is distributed to the elevator users. In this way, the boarding schedule processing unit 10 stores the reading time and the number of times of use together with the identification number in the storage unit 5.

Next, a method of calculating the boarding schedule from the usage status of the elevator will be described. FIG. 8 shows the reading time and the number of times of use of the elevator user whose identification number is 0001. Here, as shown in FIG. 8, the number of times of use that becomes a threshold value is set, the time zone in which the number of times of use exceeds the threshold value is calculated, and the time zone is set as the boarding schedule. As shown by the wavy line in FIG. 8, the threshold value is set to 10 times, and the boarding schedule in this case corresponds to the time zone indicated by the double-headed arrow in FIG. That is, the elevator control device 2 sets the boarding schedule from the reading time information in which the number of times of use corresponding to the reading time information exceeds a predetermined threshold value.

The elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator 3 using this boarding schedule.

As described above, since the elevator control device 2 sets a threshold value for the number of times the elevator user uses and calculates the boarding schedule, it is possible to easily adjust the judgment conditions for regular use or non-regular use. Can be done.

Embodiment 3.
Subsequently, the elevator control device 2 according to the third embodiment will be described based on the elevator system 100. FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the elevator system 100 according to the third embodiment. In the following description, the configuration different from the other embodiments will be mainly described, and the description may be omitted as appropriate for the configuration similar to the other embodiments. The elevator system 100 according to the third embodiment is different from the elevator system 100 of another embodiment in that it includes a release information determination unit 11.

As described above, in the elevator control device 2, the user determination unit 6 determines whether the use of the elevator 3 is a regular use or a non-regular use based on the boarding schedule. For example, if a legitimate elevator user uses the elevator 3 outside the range of the boarding schedule, the elevator control device 2 determines that the use is non-regular use. The elevator control device 2 of the third embodiment has a function of canceling the non-regular use when the legitimate elevator user is determined to be the non-regular use.

The elevator control device 2 includes a release information determination unit 11. The cancellation information determination unit 11 receives the cancellation information from the elevator user, and determines whether or not to cancel the destination floor registration by non-regular use based on the cancellation information. The release information determination unit 11 can receive the release information from the elevator user through an input means such as an authentication device provided at the security gate and various input devices such as a touch panel provided near the elevator hall. As the release information, in addition to the elevator user's date of birth information and password information set for each elevator user, information used for biometric authentication such as fingerprint information and face information can be used.

When the cancellation information determination unit 11 receives the cancellation information, it determines whether or not the identification information of the elevator user matches the corresponding cancellation registration information. When the cancellation information and the cancellation registration information match, the cancellation information determination unit 11 determines that the destination floor registration due to non-regular use is canceled. The cancellation information determination unit 11 notifies the operation allocation unit 7 of the determination, and when the operation allocation unit 7 receives the notification, the cancellation information determination unit 11 cancels the destination floor registration by non-regular use and registers the destination floor by regular use.

If the cancellation information and the cancellation registration information do not match or the cancellation information is not input for a certain period of time, the cancellation information determination unit 11 does not cancel the destination floor registration by non-regular use. After that, the elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator based on the registration of the destination floor by non-regular use.

As described above, when the elevator control device 2 is used by a regular elevator user outside the range of the boarding schedule and the destination floor is registered by non-regular use, the elevator control device 2 is used by non-regular use based on the cancellation information. Since the destination floor registration is canceled and the destination floor registration for regular use is performed, the convenience of the regular elevator user is not impaired.

Subsequently, the operation of the elevator control device 2 of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator control device 2 of the third embodiment.

The destination floor for non-regular use is registered (ST106), and then the elevator control device 2 receives the release information from the input means (ST301). Subsequently, the release information determination unit 11 determines whether or not the release information matches the release registration information (ST302).

When the cancellation information matches the cancellation registration information (YES in ST302), the operation allocation unit 7 cancels the destination floor registration for non-regular use (ST303) and registers the destination floor for regular use (ST304).

On the other hand, when the cancellation information does not match the cancellation registration information (NO in ST302), the elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the elevator based on the registration of the destination floor for non-regular use (ST105).

As described above, when the elevator control device 2 is used by a regular elevator user outside the range of the boarding schedule and the destination floor is registered by non-regular use, the elevator control device 2 is used by non-regular use based on the cancellation information. Since the destination floor registration is canceled and the destination floor registration for regular use is performed, the convenience of the regular elevator user is not impaired.

Embodiment 4.
Subsequently, the elevator control device 2 according to the fourth embodiment will be described based on the elevator system 100. FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the elevator system 100 according to the 43rd embodiment. In the following description, the configuration different from the other embodiments will be mainly described, and the description may be omitted as appropriate for the configuration similar to the other embodiments. The elevator system 100 according to the fourth embodiment is different from the elevator system 100 of another embodiment in that it includes an autonomous mobile body 20 capable of communicating with the elevator control device 2 and operating.

The autonomous moving body 20 is a mechanical device capable of autonomously moving without human operation. The autonomous mobile body 20 can operate in cooperation with the elevator 3. Further, the autonomous mobile body 20 can communicate with the elevator 3, autonomously calls the elevator 3 in cooperation with the elevator 3, and can board the elevator 3 in response to the call. For example, the autonomous mobile body 20 is a guidance robot that guides elevator users.

When the user determination unit 6 determines that the autonomous mobile body 20 is a non-regular use and the operation allocation unit 7 allocates a car whose destination floor is a specific floor, the autonomous moving body 20 guides the elevator user to the assigned car. It has a function. The elevator control device 2 that communicates with the autonomous mobile body 20 notifies the position information of the reading means 1 from which the authentication information of the elevator user is read when the user determination unit 6 determines that the use is non-regular use. It also notifies the autonomous mobile body 20 that non-regular use has been performed. For example, when there are a plurality of security gates provided with a reading device, the position information of the reading means 1 is a gate number indicating which security gate was used for reading.

The autonomous moving body 20 moves by itself toward the position of the reading means 1 in which the reading is performed based on the position information in order to guide the elevator user. The autonomous mobile body 20 stands by, for example, at an elevator landing close to the security gate, and when it receives notification of location information, it moves toward the security gate where the authentication information has been read.

The autonomous mobile body 20 guides the elevator user to the car after moving based on the position information. The autonomous moving body 20 may guide the elevator user by issuing an announcement to guide the car to the car by voice.

The autonomous moving body 20 guides the elevator user to a predetermined car, and when the elevator user gets in the car, the car closes the door, and the elevator 3 operates, the guidance ends. The elevator control device 2 may notify the autonomous moving body 20 that the car has closed, and the autonomous moving body 20 that has received the notification may end the guidance operation. After that, the elevator user is carried to a specific floor by controlling the operation of the elevator 3 by the elevator control device 2. Since the operation of the elevator control device 2 when it is determined to be non-regular use is the same as that of the other embodiments, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Therefore, in the elevator system 100, the autonomous mobile body 20 cooperates with the elevator control device 2 to guide the elevator user determined to be non-regular use to a predetermined car, so that the user can be reliably guided to a specific floor. Can be done.

Further, the elevator control device 2 guides the elevator user to a predetermined car after it is determined to be non-regular use, and the ride is completed until all the cars are closed and the elevator 3 is operated. May not assign the car to other elevator users. That is, for other elevator users, a car other than the car assigned to the elevator user determined to be a non-regular user is assigned. By doing so, it is possible to prevent an elevator user who is determined to be a non-regular user from riding with another elevator user.

Subsequently, the operation of the elevator system 100 of the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the elevator system 100 of the fourth embodiment.

When the destination floor for non-regular use is registered (ST106), the elevator control device 2 notifies the autonomous mobile body 20 of the position information from which the authentication information has been read (ST401). Subsequently, the autonomous mobile body 20 moves to the position where the authentication information is read based on the position information (ST402).

After the autonomous mobile body 20 moves based on the position information, the elevator user is guided to the car registered on the destination floor for non-regular use (ST403). After that, when the elevator user gets in the car and the car closes, the autonomous moving body 20 ends the guidance operation (ST404).

As described above, in the elevator system 100, the autonomous mobile body 20 guides the elevator user determined to be non-regular use to a predetermined car, so that the user can be reliably guided to a specific floor.

Further, as a modification 1 of the fourth embodiment, when it is determined that the legitimate elevator user is a non-regular user, the autonomous moving body 20 cancels the destination floor registration and performs the destination floor registration by the regular use. You can also do it. The case where a regular elevator user is determined to be a non-regular user is the same as in the third embodiment.

When the autonomous mobile body 20 is determined to be a non-regular use, the autonomous mobile body 20 receives a notification of position information and starts a guidance operation of an elevator user. After that, the elevator user who receives the guidance by the autonomous moving body 20 inputs the cancellation information for canceling the destination floor registration by non-regular use to the autonomous moving body 20. When the autonomous moving body 20 that has received the cancellation information determines that the destination floor registration due to non-regular use is canceled based on the cancellation information, it indicates to the elevator control device 2 that the destination floor registration due to non-regular use is canceled. Notify the cancellation. Upon receiving the cancellation notice, the elevator control device 2 cancels the destination floor registration by non-regular use and registers the destination floor by regular use. For example, when the elevator control device 2 receives the cancellation notification, the operation allocation unit 7 cancels the destination floor registration by non-regular use and registers the destination floor by regular use.

Here, as the release information, the same information as the release information described in the third embodiment can be used. Further, the autonomous moving body 20 determines that the destination floor registration by non-regular use is canceled when the input cancellation information matches the cancellation registration information corresponding to the identification information. On the other hand, if the input cancellation information does not match the cancellation registration information, the autonomous moving body 20 does not determine that the destination floor registration due to non-regular use is canceled, and continues the guidance operation of the elevator user. Further, even if the cancellation information is not input to the autonomous moving body 20 for a certain period of time, it is not determined that the destination floor registration due to non-regular use is canceled. The autonomous moving body 20 that performs the guidance operation may issue an announcement prompting the elevator user to input the release information.

As described above, when the elevator system 100 is used by a regular elevator user outside the range of the boarding schedule and the destination floor is registered by non-regular use, the destination by non-regular use is based on the cancellation information. Since the floor registration is canceled and the destination floor registration for regular use is performed, the convenience of the regular elevator user is not impaired.
