The destination floor registration unit 62 registers the car based on the information indicating the destination floor input from the operation panel 41 and the call panel 43 or the mobile terminal 65 and the information on the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation unit 60. 31 destination floor is registered. The identified user does not input the destination floor from the operation panel 41 and panel 43 or the mobile terminal 65 even after a predetermined period of time (for example, 3 seconds) has elapsed since the user identification unit 50 identified the user. In this case, the destination floor registration unit 62 registers the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation unit 60 as the user's destination floor. Specifically, after confirming the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation section 60 with the user using a speaker or display panel, the destination floor registration section 62 selects a destination floor different from the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation section 60. When the user operates, the destination floor operated by the user is registered as the user's destination floor. Further, if the user does not operate a destination floor different from the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation section 60, the destination floor registration section 62 registers the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation section 60 as the user's destination floor. .

The group management device 2 is a device that manages the operation status of the six cars 31 and creates an operation schedule for the six cars 31. Specifically, the group management device 2 collects information indicating the destination floor or the direction of the destination floor obtained from the landing destination floor registration device 3, the positions of the six cars 31 (which floors they are on), and the information on the six cars 31. Based on information such as the moving direction of the car 31 and the opening/closing status of the doors of the six cars 31, the system is designed to shorten the waiting time of users and to shorten the total driving time of the six cars 31. , an operation schedule for six cars 31 is created. In addition, the group management device 2 operates by including information such as the number of users riding in the six cars 31, the number of users in each elevator hall 120, and the number of users on the called floor. You can also create a schedule. The number of users riding in the car 31 is measured based on an image taken by a camera 51 provided inside the car 31. Further, the number of users in each elevator hall 120 is measured based on the image of the camera 52 provided in the elevator hall 120. The group management device 2 notifies the control device 70 of the created operation schedule.

Returning to FIG. 1, the control device 70 is arranged in the hoistway 100. The control device 70 houses a drive unit 91 that drives the lift motor 34 and a control unit 80 that controls the drive unit 91 based on the operation schedule of the car 31.

FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a control system of the elevator apparatus 10. The control system includes the landing destination floor registration device 3, the group management device 2, and a control unit 80 and a drive unit 91 housed in the control device 70.

The control unit 80 controls the drive unit 91 based on the operation schedule created by the group management device 2 based on the information registered from the platform destination floor registration device 3. The drive unit 91 includes a power source for supplying power to the lifting motor 34, an inverter, and the like. The drive unit 91 drives the lifting motor 34 based on instructions from the control unit 80. In this embodiment, since there are six cars 31, there are six elevator motors 31. Further, the drive unit 91 opens and closes the door 32 provided on the car 31 and the door provided at the landing on each floor based on instructions from the control unit 80. Further, the control unit 80 transmits information indicating the positions of the six cars 31, the moving directions of the six cars 31, the open/closed states of the doors of the six cars 31, etc. to the group management device 2. The control unit 80 acquires the door open/close states of the six cars 31 from sensors (not shown) provided on the doors 32.

FIG. 6 is a block diagram of the control unit 80. The control unit 80 is a computer having a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 81 , a main storage section 82 , an auxiliary storage section 83 , and an interface section 84 that are interconnected via a bus 85 .

The CPU 81 executes a process described below according to a program stored in the auxiliary storage unit 83.

The main storage unit 82 includes a RAM (Random Access Memory) and the like. The main storage section 82 is used as a work area for the CPU 81.

The interface section 84 includes a serial interface, a parallel interface, a wireless LAN interface, and the like. Group management device 2 and drive unit 91 are connected to CPU 81 via interface section 84 .

In the elevator apparatus 10 configured as described above, the CPU 81 controls the drive unit 91 based on input from the group management device 2. For example, when the CPU 81 causes the lift motor 34 to rotate normally via the drive unit 91, the car 31 rises and the counterweight 26 falls. When the CPU 81 reverses the lifting motor 34 via the drive unit 91, the car 31 is lowered and the counterweight 26 is raised.

Next, with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. 7, information obtained by linking the user's image information obtained by the user identification unit 50 of the landing destination floor registration device 3 with the information indicating the destination floor operated by the user is obtained. The accumulation process will be explained. Since this information is used as training data for analysis using artificial intelligence, it will be referred to as training data accumulation processing. Here, a case will be described in which information indicating the destination floor is not acquired from the mobile terminal 65. The flowchart shown in FIG. 7 starts with the camera 51 or camera 52 photographing the user as a trigger.

The user identification unit 50 of the landing destination floor registration device 3 identifies the user based on the image of the user taken by the camera 51 or the camera 52 (step S11). For example, the user identification unit 50 identifies the user based on an image of the user's face taken by the camera 51 or the camera 52. Step S11 is a user identification step. Specifically, the user identification unit 50 identifies the user by having the image recognition unit 53 extract feature amounts of images of the user taken by the cameras 51 and 52. The user identification unit 50 compares the feature amount of the photographed image of the user with the feature amount of the stored image of the user, and if the degree of correlation between the two exceeds a threshold value, the user identification unit 50 determines that the two are the same user. Identify that there is. Note that photographing the user using the camera 51 or the camera 52 corresponds to the photographing process.

The user specifying unit 50 determines whether the specified user has input a destination floor (step S12). If the specified user does not input the destination floor after a predetermined period of time (for example, 3 seconds) (step S12: No), the teacher data accumulation process is ended.

On the other hand, when the user inputs the destination floor (step S12: Yes), the user identification unit 50 acquires information indicating the destination floor output from the operation panel 41 or the call panel 43 through the operation of the identified user. (Step S13). Step S13 is a destination floor input step. Then, the user specifying unit 50 stores information in which the acquired information indicating the destination floor and the specified user are linked in the storage unit as teacher data (step S14). Step S14 is a teacher data accumulation step. The user specifying unit 50 accumulates teacher data for each same user.

Next, a destination floor registration process (a landing destination floor registration method) by the landing destination floor registration device 3 will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. The destination floor registration process shown in FIG. 8 starts when the camera 51 or 52 detects a user as a trigger. Note that photographing the user using the camera 51 or the camera 52 corresponds to the photographing process.

The destination floor estimating unit 60 determines whether the number of times the user specifying unit 50 has stored the teaching data of the same user is greater than or equal to a predetermined number of times (step S31). If the number of times the teacher data has been stored is, for example, less than 100 times (step S31: No), the destination floor registration unit 62 waits until the user inputs the destination floor (step S32: No). Therefore, the longer it takes for the user to input the destination floor, the lower the elevator operation efficiency becomes. When the user inputs the destination floor (step S32: Yes), the destination floor registration unit 62 registers the destination floor input by the user (step S33).

On the other hand, if the number of times the same user's teaching data has been stored is, for example, 100 times or more (step S31: Yes), the destination floor estimating unit 60 determines the destination floor of the user specified based on the accumulated teaching data. Estimate (step S34). The destination floor estimating unit 60 estimates, for example, the floor that is used the most by the identified user as the destination floor. Step S34 is a destination floor estimation step.

Suppose that there are 5 users who have been photographed by the camera 51 or the camera 52, 3 of them have stored the teacher data 100 times or more, and 2 users have stored the teacher data 100 times or more. If the number of times is less than 100 times, the destination floor estimating unit 60 estimates the destination floors of each of the three people who have memorized the teaching data 100 times or more, and the destination floor of the two people who have memorized the teaching data less than 100 times. Floor estimation is not performed.

Next, the destination floor registration unit 62 confirms with the user the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation unit 60 (step S35). Step S35 is a confirmation step. The destination floor registration section 62 notifies the user of the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimating section 60 using the speaker or display panel of the operation panel 41 or the call panel 43. For example, if the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimating unit 60 is the fifth floor, the speaker of the operation panel 41 or the call panel 43 makes an announcement saying "Is the fifth floor OK?". In addition, if there are multiple users, an announcement such as "Please check the registered destination floor" is made.

The destination floor registration unit 62 monitors whether the user has input a destination floor (step S36). If the user inputs the destination floor within the predetermined time (step S36: Yes), the process moves to step S33. On the other hand, if the user does not input the destination floor within the predetermined time (step S36: No), the destination floor registration unit 62 registers the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation unit 60 as the destination floor (step S37). , ends the destination floor registration process. Step S33 and step S37 are a landing destination floor registration process.

As explained above, the landing destination floor registration system 1 according to the present embodiment includes the landing destination floor registration device 3 having the user specifying section 50 and the destination floor estimating section 60. The user identification unit 50 identifies the user based on the feature amount of the image of the user taken by the camera 51 or the camera 52. Then, the user specifying unit 50 stores information in which the acquired information indicating the destination floor and the specified user are linked in the storage unit as teacher data. The destination floor estimating unit 60 uses an analysis program using artificial intelligence and information (teacher data) linking the information indicating the destination floor outputted by the destination floor input means with the identified user based on the operation of the identified user. The destination floor for each user is estimated based on the If the identified user does not operate the destination floor even after a predetermined period of time has passed since the user identification unit 50 identified the user, the platform destination floor registration device 3 registers the destination estimated by the destination floor estimation unit 60. The destination floor of the identified user is registered based on the floor. In this way, the platform destination floor registration system 1 according to the present embodiment can eliminate the waiting time until the user inputs the destination floor, and therefore can improve the operating efficiency of the elevator.

Furthermore, in the platform destination floor registration system 1 according to the present embodiment, users who frequently use the platform can move to the desired destination floor without inputting the destination floor, thereby increasing the convenience of the users. can be improved.

Further, in the platform destination floor registration system 1 according to the present embodiment, when the number of times the user identification unit 50 has stored the teacher data is a predetermined number of times or more, the destination floor is used based on the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimation unit 60. Since the destination floor of each person is registered, the estimation system can be improved.

Further, in the platform destination floor registration system 1 according to the embodiment, after confirming the destination floor estimated by the destination floor estimating unit 60 with the specified user, if the specified user operates a destination floor different from the estimated destination floor. Since the destination floor operated by the specified user is registered as the specified user's destination floor, even if there is an error in estimating the destination floor, the user will not be inconvenienced.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, in the above embodiment, a case has been described in which the platform destination floor registration system 1 includes the group management device 2, but if the number of cars 31 is small, the group management device 2 may not be provided.

In addition, in the explanation of step S35, the case where the estimated destination floor is confirmed to the user by announcing the estimated destination floor from the operation panel 41 or the speaker of the call panel 43 was explained. You may also confirm the destination floor with the user.

Further, in the above description, a case has been described in which the user inputs the destination floor from the operation panel 41 or the call panel 43, but the destination floor input means is not limited to a physical button with an uneven surface. For example, the destination floor input means may register the destination floor by voice using a microphone. Further, the destination floor input means may include an image analysis device that outputs information indicating the destination floor based on the mouth movements of the user photographed by the camera. Note that by assuming that the image analysis device is based on the user's mouth movements, it can operate not only when the user utters, but also when there is no utterance.

Further, in the above description, a case has been described in which the landing destination floor registration device 3, the group management device 2, and the control device 70 are separate devices, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the landing destination floor registration device 3 and the group management device 2 may be implemented in the same device, or the landing destination floor registration device 3, the group management device 2, and the control device 70 may be implemented in the same device. Good too.

In the above description, a case has been described in which the user identifying unit 50 identifies the user based on the image of the user's face taken by the camera 51 or the camera 52, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the user identifying unit 50 may identify the user not only by the face image but also by including clothing, shoes, bags, and other belongings.

Although the explanation was omitted above, users may use multiple floors with similar frequency. In this case, in the estimation step described in step S34, a plurality of floors may be estimated as destination floor candidates. Then, in the confirmation step of step S35, the user may confirm, for example, "Which floor would you like to select, the 5th floor or the 8th floor?"

Further, in the above description, a case has been described in which the camera 51 inside the car 31 and the camera 52 provided in the elevator hall 120 are provided, but the present invention is not limited to this. Either one of the camera 51 and the camera 52 may be used. For example, the camera 52 in the elevator hall 120 may be omitted.

Further, in the description of step S11 above, a case has been described in which the user identifying unit 50 identifies the user based on the image of the user taken by the camera 51 or the camera 52, but there is no need to be limited to this. For example, the user identification unit 50 may identify the user based only on the image of the user taken by the camera 51. The camera 52 in the elevator hall 120 may also take pictures of people who do not board the car 31. Therefore, only those who board the car 31 may be determined to be users, and the teacher data accumulation process shown in FIG. 7 may be performed.

(Modified example)
Here, a case will be described in which a destination floor is registered from the mobile terminal 65. When registering the destination floor from the mobile terminal 65, the mobile terminal 65 registers information indicating the destination floor, for example, the user's ID number and the user's face photo via the communication device 4. Send to device 3.

In the process of step S11 in FIG. 7, the user identification unit 50 identifies the user using the user's ID number. Step S12 is omitted. In step S13, the user identification unit 50 acquires information indicating the destination floor transmitted from the mobile terminal 65. Then, in step S14, the user specifying unit 50 stores information in which the user's face photo information, the user's ID number, and the obtained information indicating the destination floor are linked in the storage unit as teacher data. The user specifying unit 50 accumulates teacher data for each same user.

In step S31 of FIG. 8, the user identification unit 50 determines that the information on the user's face photograph taken by the camera 51 or 52 matches the information on the user's face photograph transmitted from the mobile terminal 65. Determine whether or not. If the two do not match, the process moves to step S32. If the two match, the destination floor estimating unit 60 determines whether the number of times the user specifying unit 50 has stored the teacher data of the same user is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times (step S31). Other explanations are the same as above.
