Description

The present invention relates to an in-building information display system and method.

Regarding countermeasures against congestion after the installation of elevators, building management companies and maintenance companies that perform elevator maintenance (hereinafter also referred to as "administrators, etc.") monitor the operation status of elevators and adjust operation control settings appropriately according to the situation. Adjust for optimum performance. As an example, there is a setting that does not stop the elevator on closed floors.

In addition, in group-controlled elevators for high-rise buildings, there are elevators that are classified into at least one of the following types of operation: limited express operation with a reduced number of floors to stop, specialization in which the destination is limited to each of the high, medium and low floors from the standard floor. there is a bank

In this way, when a plurality of banks are set and there is a difference in the degree of congestion among the banks, it is conceivable that the administrator or the like manually changes the allocation of the banks to alleviate the congestion.

In addition, in Patent Document 1, a general user who has called an elevator by operating a hall button from a boarding area, has been kept waiting for a long time and has difficulty, and expresses suspicion or complaint to a manager, etc., that the elevator may be broken. , an elevator information display system has been proposed to make it easier to dispel such suspicions.

In addition, Patent Document 2 proposes a visualization device of boarding/alighting operation history information that makes it easy to analyze trends in the movement of elevator passengers as a technology that is utilized in consulting work such as optimizing building tenant placement.

In addition, in Patent Document 3, in order to specify a time zone suitable for elevator maintenance, when the use of the target elevator is restricted in the time zone specified by the time zone specifying unit, the waiting time of the elevator other than the target elevator is reduced. An information processing apparatus that calculates by simulation has been proposed.

A manager or the like using the elevator information display system of Patent Literature 1 causes the terminal to display information indicating the true cause in order to prove that the cause of the waiting is not the failure of the elevator but the congestion. As a result, it is possible to avoid complaints and the like from general users who have been kept waiting for a long time to the administrator. However, the technique of Patent Document 1 was not developed to further improve convenience and maintainability.

Further, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-100000, movement trends, the number of passengers in a car, and the like are analyzed from the history of boarding and alighting of elevator passengers. However, the congestion index such as the average waiting time at the elevator platform remains unknown, although it is the most important information that people want to know.

Furthermore, in Patent Document 3, it is possible to grasp the current situation and simulate setting changes, etc. for the number of users for each bank, the average waiting time, and the like. However, in order to efficiently allocate equipment personnel involved in maintenance and management, while utilizing past operation information and adapting to external factors such as weather conditions, it is necessary to ask managers, etc. It specialized in raising awareness and did not contribute significantly to management support.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and its object is to provide an in-building information display system that enhances convenience by focusing on elevator banks and contributes to efficient placement of equipment personnel. to do.

The present invention for solving the above-mentioned problems is a building information display system applied to a plurality of elevators forming a bank, and is a building master storing building information indicating at least the structure of the building in which the elevator is installed. an information storage unit; an elevator information storage unit for storing elevator device information and bank information for each group; an operation information storage unit for collecting and storing operation information indicating the number of elevator users; An information search unit that searches for at least one of operation information and external weather information, the most recent operation information that is a comparison source, the past operation information that is a comparison target, and the data of each congestion index are compared.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a functional block diagram illustrating the configuration of an in-building information display system (this system) according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The data center 3 shown in FIG. 1 is a computer that constitutes the main part of this system, and several functional parts are formed by the CPU executing programs stored in the memory, and various devices are installed in some devices. Input and output information to achieve the purpose.

The data center 3 connects the customer terminal 2 and the group control elevator 20 to the outside, and is system-configured so that weather data 16 can be obtained. The customer terminal 2 has an operation function and a display function for confirming the owner of the building 19, the customer 1 managing the building 19, and the congestion status of the elevators of the building 19 managed by the customer 1.

The data center 3 has a server processing unit 4, a communication device 10, a weather data collection device 15, and an elevator operation information storage unit 12 therein. In order to generate screen data to be displayed on the customer terminal 2, the server processing unit 4 includes an operation information comparison screen generation unit 5, an information search unit 7, and an operation information comparison data calculation unit 6 for displaying comparison results of the operation data. and more.

The building master information 8 stores building information such as the total number of floors in addition to the use of the building 19 . The elevator information 9 stores elevator device information, bank information and connection information, which are management units for group-controlled elevators.

The elevator operation data collection device 11 periodically collects the elevator operation data 26 from the group control elevator 20 of the customer building 19 through the high-speed communication network. The elevator operation information storage unit 12 accumulates and stores elevator operation data 26 collected in the customer building 19 using the elevator operation data collection device 11 in the database of the elevator operation information 13 .

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram illustrating the configuration of group control elevator 20 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the group management elevator 20 of the customer building 19 includes a communication device 21, a plurality of elevators 24a to 24n (collectively 24), elevator control devices 23a to 23n (collectively 23), a group management It is composed of a control device 22 , an operation data storage unit 25 and an elevator operation data 26 .

The communication device 21 connects to a high speed communication network. Elevator controllers 23a-23n control the operation of each elevator. A group supervisory control device 22 controls operation of a plurality of elevators. The operation data storage unit 25 stores operation data of a plurality of elevators in the group supervisory control device 22 . Elevator operation data 26 is stored in a memory card such as an SD card.

The data center 3 in FIG. 1 connects to the communication device 21 of the group control elevator 20 in FIG. 2 through the communication device 10 . With the system configuration shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, this system is periodically connected from the elevator operation data collection device 11 to the high-speed communication network.

After being connected to a high-speed communication network, this system collects elevator operation data 26 stored in a memory card such as an SD card in the operation data storage unit 25, and uses this data as elevator operation information 13. Save in the information storage unit 12 . Note that the notation of "data" refers to individual data, and when these are collectively processed, it is notated as "information", and the properties of the two are roughly distinguished, but the distinction is not strict.

Next, the procedure for confirming the congestion state of the managed elevator in a specific time zone when the elevator of the building 19 managed by the customer 1 such as the management company or the building owner is congested will be described with reference to the drawings. In the system shown in FIG. 1, the customer 1 is the manager or owner of the building 19 shown in FIG.

The group control elevators are controlled so as to operate optimally in response to car calls and hall calls of the plurality of elevators 24a, 24b, . . . 24n shown in FIG. As an example of the congestion situation, for example, in the case of an office building, etc., a queue of users occurs at the elevator platform during the hours of work and lunch. Alternatively, even if a car arrives in response to a call from the platform, there are times when the car cannot be boarded because the car is full. In such a case, complaints and requests for improvements have sometimes arisen from users of the elevator.

In such a case, the management company of building 19 investigates the cause of elevator congestion and complaints within the scope of its own capabilities. In addition, if the content requires specialized technology, an elevator maintenance company is requested to investigate the operation of the elevator. The maintenance company collects elevator operation data for a certain period of time, and also investigates the local boarding area and car congestion. was changed to correspond.

In addition, in the adjustment work, even after changing to the optimum setting for the elevator, it is necessary to fine-tune the setting while continuing the on-site survey of the congestion situation, and it may take several months until the countermeasure is completed. there were. First, for such continuous research and repeated fine adjustment, the system displays the number of users, waiting time at the platform, etc. on the customer terminal 2, so that the customer 1 can grasp the congestion situation by time period. I made it

FIG. 3 is an example of a screen for selecting a building 19 to be managed in the customer terminal 2 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, a customer 1, from a customer terminal 2 such as a personal computer or a tablet, performs a search browsing operation such as selecting an item by mouse click or panel touch operation (hereinafter also referred to as "selection"), while managing In order to select the building 19 to be used and check the congestion status of the owned elevator, the current congestion cause investigation can be continuously performed.

If there are multiple buildings 19 managed by the customer 1, data to be used as a search key is set in the building contractor name pulldown 101, building name pulldown 102, and address input field 103 on this screen, and the search button 104 is selected to display the results. is displayed in the building name list 105 .

The contractor name is determined from the login ID at the time of system login, and if there are multiple contractor names depending on the contract type, etc., one contractor of the management building 19 to be targeted this time can be selected. After that, the relevant building 19 is selected (106) from the management building name list 105, and the building selection button 107 is selected to switch to the screen of FIG.

FIG. 4 is an example of a screen transitioned from the screen of FIG. 3 to select banks A to C from a list of group control elevators (banks A to C) of building 19 . That is, FIG. 4 is a screen for selecting a group-controlled elevator whose congestion status is to be checked from among the many elevators installed in the building 19 managed by the customer 1 selected in FIG. Banks A to C will be described later in [Supplement 2].

When there are a plurality of group-controlled elevators in the building 19 to be managed, the customer 1 confirms the bank name and number from the bank list 201, which is the management unit of the group-controlled elevators, and selects the corresponding bank A to C from the selection column 202. By doing so, the screen transitions to the screen shown in FIG.

FIG. 5 is an example of a screen that graphically displays the number of passengers for each time zone on the designated date and time and the congestion index of the designated floor for the elevator of interest selected by the customer terminal 2 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, the number of users is displayed in the number of users display column 309 by calculating the number of people who boarded the elevator car per unit time from the elevator operation information 13 .

In addition, in this system, there are several kinds of congestion indexes calculated as follows, and these are displayed in the congestion index display column 310 . First, there is an average waiting time in seconds from when users line up at the platform to when they can board the elevator car. As a congestion index similar to this, this system uniquely calculates the time from when the call button at the platform is pressed until the car arrives, so there is no need for hesitation or judgment.

Another congestion index is a long-waiting rate calculated by calculating the frequency (%) of waiting times exceeding 60 seconds for users. Furthermore, as another congestion index, there is an average occupancy rate (%) that represents the degree of congestion in the car.

As a standard method of using this system, customer 1 first displays the building name of building 19 to be managed selected in FIG. It is displayed in the bank name display column 302 . Then, the floor of the target building 19 is selected from the floor selection pull-down 303 .

Next, the customer 1 sets the date and time period to be confirmed in the target date designation field 304 and the time period designation field 305 . The target date may be selected by displaying a sub-screen displaying a calendar. As for the time zone, the time zone (hour, minute) may be selected from a pull-down menu.

Next, the customer 1 selects the type of congestion index to be displayed from the congestion index pull-down 306, and selects the time unit (1 hour, 30 minutes, 5 minutes, 1 minute, etc.) used for displaying the congestion index from the display unit pull-down 307. select. Here, the customer 1 selects the search button 308 to display the number of elevator users on the specified date and time in the number of users display column 309, and the congestion index for each corresponding time period is displayed in the congestion index display column 310. .

Further, in this system, the customer 1 can check the past numerical values and the maximum difference with respect to the retrieval results of the elevator usage status displayed in the number-of-users display column 309 and the congestion index display column 310 in FIG. It is possible to compare with the current operating data, which is large. For example, in building 19, which has not been congested until now, it is assumed that congestion has occurred in the elevators during lunch breaks over the past month.

On the other hand, customer 1 uses this system and finds that congestion is occurring due to an increase in the number of people using the elevator. In that case, the customer 1 can calculate the difference between the current user and the past user in this system, and calculate the increased number of users based on the difference. Furthermore, the customer 1 uses the difference in the number of people as a guide, and shifts the lunch break time for each tenant, thereby dispersing the congestion that was concentrated during the lunch break.

When the customer 1 compares the past operation data with the current situation using this system, after confirming the search result on the screen of FIG. transition to In this system, the customer 1 can extract the past operation data on the screen of FIG. 6 and execute the procedure of comparing it with the search result of FIG. 5 described above. This procedure will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 6 is an example of a screen for setting the number of users for each time slot of the date and time searched in FIG. 5, the congestion index, and the extraction conditions for past operation information data, and selecting data to be compared. In this system, the customer 1 displays the building name of the building 19 to be managed selected in FIG. .

Furthermore, in this system, the customer 1 displays the date and time period of the comparison source operation data retrieved in FIG. to display.

Next, the customer 1 sets search conditions 405 to 411 for extracting past operation data to be compared in this system. Here, the customer 1 sets the time zone setting field 405, the floor setting field 406, the month setting field 407, the day of the week setting field 408, the weather setting field 410, and the time zone classification check box 411 to the same data as the comparison source operation data. Initial display of contents.

In this system, by aligning the time zones of the operation data for comparison, useful analysis can be carried out. Therefore, the customer 1 sets in the time zone setting column 405 when limiting the time zone of the operation data to be compared. Similarly, the customer 1 selects a floor value in the floor setting field (pull-down) 406 when limiting floors. Similarly, when the customer 1 limits the month, day, and day of the week in order to grasp the tendency of a specific month, day, or day of the week, the customer 1 makes settings in the month setting field 407, the day setting field 408, and the day of the week setting field 409, respectively. .

In addition, in this system, it is possible to accumulate past weather results in the weather information 14 together with past operation data, and to extract past operation data limited to the weather. For example, in a commercial facility building where the number of users changes depending on the weather, it is possible to grasp the number of users and the state of congestion by limiting the weather in order to grasp the trend.

In that case, the customer 1 first sets the weather (sunny, cloudy, rainy, snowy, etc.) in the weather setting column 410 . Then, the customer 1 sets the corresponding time period from the time period selection check box 411 regarding which time period (morning, afternoon, night) is targeted.

For example, using this system, the customer 1 selects 'rain' as the weather selected in the weather setting field 410 and selects 'morning' and 'afternoon' in the weather time zone check boxes 411 . In addition, when extracting past operation data using this system, the customer 1 refers to the past weather data accumulated in the weather information 14, Extract data.

In addition, when the customer 1 uses this system to check the settings of the above-mentioned items 405 to 410 and selects an item, based on the search conditions for the contents of each item in the search condition table 501 of FIG. Data may be extracted. FIG. 7 is a table for explaining extraction condition items of past operation data to be compared on the screen of FIG. 6 .

In the standard usage form of this system, one record of data with the largest difference in the specified congestion index is extracted from the past operation data. However, if there are multiple data with the maximum difference, the multiple data will be displayed regardless of the setting of the number of extracted data. In addition, if customer 1 wants to use this system to display a plurality of items sorted in descending order of difference, if the number of items to be extracted is set in the number of items to be extracted setting field 412, the specified number of items can be displayed as a difference. can be extracted in descending order of

After that, the customer 1 selects a search button 413 to search for operation data that matches the extraction conditions, and displays it in the comparison target operation data display column 415 . In addition, the customer 1 can transition to a screen described later with reference to FIG. 10 by selecting the detailed comparison button 416 in this system.

FIG. 8 is a schematic explanatory diagram of the process of extracting past operation information data from the screen of FIG. 6 . In this system, as shown in FIG. 8, the customer 1 compares the comparison source operation data congestion index value 601 with the comparison destination operation data congestion index value 602, and selects the comparison destination operation data of the miscellaneous index value difference 603 having the largest difference. 602 is extracted. It should be noted that the past operation information shown in FIG. 8 is not exclusive to this system, but is diverted from information accumulated for other purposes such as maintenance. Therefore, there is no great burden in constructing this system.

Here, the congestion index value 601 of the operation data to be compared as a reference is obtained by searching the screen of FIG. 5 by the customer 1 . On the other hand, the operation data congestion index value 602 to be compared is past data that matches the extraction conditions of the time period setting column 405 to the extraction number setting column 412 in FIG. If a plurality of cases are selected in the extraction number setting field 412 in FIG. 6, the search is repeated in the same way to extract the past operation data for comparison with a large difference set in 412 .

FIG. 9 is a screen that transitions from the screen of FIG. 6 and displays the comparison result between the extracted comparison source operation data and the comparison destination operation data (past data) with the number of users and the data distribution of the average waiting time. For example. Customer 1 can transition to FIG. 9 by selecting the graph comparison button 417 in FIG. 6 in this system. Using this system, as shown in FIG. 9, the customer 1 converts the comparison source operation data 702 extracted in FIG. 8 and the comparison target operation data 703 extracted from the screen of FIG. This can be represented by an example.

In the congestion index distribution graph 701 of FIG. 9, the comparison source operation data 702 obtained from the comparison result extracted in FIG. Therefore, it can be seen that the average waiting time (seconds) increases.

In addition, since the screen displaying the congestion index distribution graph 701 in FIG. 9 has room for displaying multiple pieces of information, the number of users, the congestion index, the differences in the weather information, etc., and the You may enable it to display at least one of. As a result, it is possible to check the content and grasp the cause of the deviation between the two points.

The multiple display described above displays the results extracted in FIG. 6 in the following manner. The comparison-source operation data shown in the comparison-source operation data display field 414 is displayed multiplexed in the space in FIG. The contents of the past operation data (date, time zone, floor, number of passengers, average waiting time, congestion index difference value) shown in the comparison target operation data display column 415 are displayed multiplexed in the space in FIG. Furthermore, when the present system requires more detailed comparison results, it is possible to perform detailed comparison in FIG. 10 by selecting the detailed comparison button 416 shown in FIG.

FIG. 10 is a graph and a table showing comparison results of the number of passengers, congestion index, etc. of the comparison source operation data selected and extracted from the screen of FIG. 6 and the comparison target operation data (past data). This is an example screen. In the screen of FIG. 10, a user number comparison result display column 801, a congestion index comparison result display column 802, and an operation data detailed comparison result column 803 are shown.

The number of users comparison result display column 801 displays the comparison result of the number of users of the elevator for each time period specified in FIG. The congestion index comparison result display column 802 displays the congestion index such as the average waiting time. Further, the detailed values of the number of users in the time period and the average waiting time may also be displayed by selecting a specified portion.

Rows No. 2 to No. 4 of the operation data detailed comparison result column 803 display values calculated from the elevator information 13 for congestion index values such as the number of users and average waiting time in the time period to be compared. Further, in rows No. 6 to No. 7 of the operation data detailed comparison result column 803, the track record of the weather data retrieved from the weather information 14 is also displayed for the weather data of the corresponding day.

FIG. 11 is a table exemplifying comparison results between comparison source operation data extracted from the screen of FIG. 6 and comparison destination operation data (past data). That is, FIG. 11 is a table showing the details of the contents displayed in the operation data detailed comparison result column 803 of FIG. In the table of FIG. 11, the display fields in the first to fourth columns from the left include the comparison item name 901 to be compared, the past operation data to be compared 902, the operation data to be compared 903, and the operation data. A difference 904 is shown.

In the column of the comparison item name 901 to be compared, this system has an operation date 905, a time zone 906, a floor 907, the number of users in the target time zone 908, a congestion index 909 such as an average waiting time, The weather of the target date is displayed as a weather display 910 by time zone. Also, in this system, in the column of the comparison item name 901, the display column of the corresponding item is developed one line at a time to the right from each item column.

In addition, the present system displays the maximum and minimum temperatures of the day in the temperature display column 911, the wind speed for each time period in the wind speed display column 912, and the 24-hour precipitation amount in the precipitation display column 913. to display. Based on the results of comparison between the comparison source current operation data 902 and the comparison target past operation data 903, this system checks the number of people using the elevators and the congestion index value, and and congestion status.

[Operation example]
Here, referring back to FIG. 6, a state in which various extraction conditions are selected will be described. For example, the customer 1 who uses this system compares the congestion status of the elevator platform on the first floor of the building 19 at different times on a rainy day on Friday, as an extraction condition item, on the screen of FIG. If you do, you should follow these steps:

The customer 1 first sets 'rain' in the weather setting field (pull-down) 410 on the screen of FIG. Next, on the screen of FIG. 6, the customer 1 sets the day of the week to 'Friday', with the rainy day both in the morning and the afternoon being extracted. If the customer 1 using this system searches in this way on the screen of FIG. A difference 915 can be grasped.

This system can also be used in such a way that it is possible to optimally determine the allocation of personnel for maintenance such as equipment and cleaning of the building 19 . Here, the optimum staffing refers to efficient staffing with the minimum required, without excessive, wastefulness, and unevenness. For example, a case where the number of elevator users varies depending on the weather and the day of the week will be described with reference to FIG. 12 .

FIG. 12 is a table exemplifying predicted values of the number of elevator users and congestion index values for each designated time zone based on the weather forecast for the next week and past operation information. FIG. 12 is divided into a calendar 1001 for the next week, and items No. 1 to No. 5 are shown. As shown in FIG. 12, this system calculates past operation information, weather, days of the week, and the number of elevator users on a weekly basis.

For example, based on the predicted number of users in the No. 4 line and the predicted average waiting time value 1002 in the No. 5 line, the building manager or administrator can optimally determine the above-mentioned maintenance personnel allocation. . This system can also be used to predict the number of users of upper-floor tenants of the commercial building 19 who must use an elevator to move to upper floors. In other words, in the group control elevator of a high-rise building, when a plurality of banks A to C are set and there is a difference in the degree of congestion between the banks A to C, the system focuses on the banks A to C. , it is possible to support the management decisions of building managers and administrators.

[Supplement 1]
As described above with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the computer devices that make up this system are called a communication unit, an input/output unit, and an arithmetic processing unit (hereinafter referred to as "CPU (Central Processing Unit)”), a storage unit, and a program. The computer device may be a one-chip microcomputer, but is not limited to that, and may be a personal computer or a part of a computer with other main uses.

In the computer device, a database (abbreviated as "information" in FIG. 1) for storing various kinds of information for each purpose is formed in each storage area of the storage unit, and programs stored in the storage unit are executed by the CPU. Thereby, the functions shown and described above are formed. The information handled here is read out after being stored in each database for easy retrieval.

[Supplement 2]
As shown in FIG. 4, a bank of elevators refers to elevators in a high-rise building that are differentiated by different stop floors. For example, if you want to go to the 2nd to 10th floors, use the elevators A1 to A4, 11th to 20th floors, use the B1 to B4 elevators, and if you want to go to the 21st to 30th floors, use the elevators in C1 to C2. The elevators 24a-24n are divided into three banks A, B, and C, A-C.

This system is an in-building information display system for visualizing elevator congestion information and displaying it in an easy-to-understand manner for administrators, etc., by comparing congestion indexes between elevator banks A to C and displaying the information. According to this system, a customer 1 operates an individual customer terminal 2 to perform arithmetic processing for comparing the most recent operation data of banks A to C of elevators 24 to be managed with past operation data. executed.

This system analyzes the reasons for discrepancies between recent and past operation data, such as the number of users and congestion indexes, and uses the results to improve operations for users (tenants, etc.) of Building 19 and to improve facility maintenance operations. can do. In other words, if congestion is expected to be unavoidable under the past management system, this system will make the manager or the like aware of it.

This system can be summarized as follows in terms of configuration, operation, and effects.
[1] This system is an in-building information display system for a plurality of elevators 24 in which banks A to C are formed. This system includes a building master information storage unit 8 , an elevator information storage unit 9 , an operation information storage unit 12 , an information search unit 7 and an operation information comparison screen generation unit 5 .

The building master information storage unit 8 stores building information indicating at least the structure of the building 19 in which the elevator 24 is installed. The elevator information storage unit 9 stores the equipment information 9 of the elevator 24 and the bank information in units of group control. The operation information storage unit 12 collects operation information indicating the number of users of the elevator 24 and stores the information for a certain period of time.

The information search unit 7 searches for at least one of the operating information of the elevator 24 and the external weather information 14 . The operation information comparison screen generation unit 5 compares the most recent operation information that is the comparison source, the past operation information that is the comparison destination, and the congestion index data of each, and displays the comparison result of the operation information.

This system compares the most recent operation data with the past operation data for the banks A to C of the elevators 24 that it manages. The system analyzes the reason for the discrepancy between the two so as to associate it with at least one of the elevator operation information, the number of users information, and the external weather information. Furthermore, this system can predict the near future to some extent based on this forecast transition by obtaining the forecast transition by comparing the operation information in the past and the present.

Especially in the group control elevator 24 of a high-rise building, when a plurality of banks A to C are set and there is a difference in the degree of congestion between the banks A to C, the system focuses on the banks A to C. , the convenience can be improved as follows. First, there are limited express services that are thinned out without stopping on floors that are expected to be quiet. Secondly, it is possible to change the setting of a floor where congestion is expected to be the standard floor. Third, it can be determined by majority rule to dedicate a destination from its base floor.

For at least one of the first to third settings, information for optimally adjusting the settings of the banks A to C can be provided to the administrator or the like in an easy-to-understand manner. Thus, based on the information provided by this system, the administrator or the like can manually change the allocation of banks A to C to reduce congestion.

In this way, the present system can improve convenience for elevator users and also support management decisions such as allocation of equipment personnel in the building 19 . As a result, it is also possible to reduce the burden on the equipment personnel. As an example, if it is known from past information that the calendar, season, and weather determine busyness and quietness, the burden can be reduced by efficiently allocating personnel according to the contents of the weather data 16.例文帳に追加In other words, this system focuses on banks A to C to improve convenience and contributes to efficient placement of equipment personnel.

[2] In [1] above, the present system selects operation information that maximizes the difference between the congestion index value calculated from the most recent information, which is the comparison source, and the congestion index value calculated from the past information, which is the comparison target. Extract. In this system, the operation information with the largest difference extracted in this way is likely to cause congestion and indicates the most serious situation requiring countermeasures. At that time, the present system can provide information for optimal response to the manager, manager, etc. of the building 19 to assist. In other words, you can remind them of the most important thing they should do right now.

[3] In the present system of [2] above, the difference is extracted by setting search conditions, and the search conditions are the same time zone, same floor, same Apply at least one of the month, the same day of the week, and the same day. Such a search condition in this system makes it easy to acquire forecast transitions by comparing operation information in the past and at present. Therefore, the present system can predict the near future on the extension line based on the prediction transition acquired in this way. Such a system can improve convenience by focusing on banks A to C and contribute to efficient allocation of equipment personnel.

[4] In [3] above, the present system further includes a data center 3, a customer terminal 2, a communication device 21, a group supervisory control device 22, and elevator control devices 23a to 23n. The data center 3 is connected to a plurality of elevators 20 and is system-configured so that external weather information can be obtained. The communication device 21 connects to a communication network, communicates mainly between the data center 3 and the group supervisory control device 22, and causes the data center 3 to collect elevator operation information.

The group management control device 22 group-manages and controls the operation of the plurality of elevators 20 . Elevator controllers 23a-23n control each of elevators 24a-24n. The customer terminal 2 is connected to the data center 3 and has an operation unit and a display unit for checking the congestion status of the group-controlled elevators 20 in the building 19 managed by the customer 1 . According to this system, it is possible to simply implement information support for making the manager or manager of the building 19 aware of the most important thing to be done at present. For example, due to a sudden downpour, the system can provide useful information from the customer terminal 2 for decisions such as changing the allocation of banks A to C in response to a sudden change in the flow of people, and the efficient temporary allocation of equipment personnel. can provide information.
