This information display device 2 is not limited to the position shown in the figure,
As long as it is a position in the elevator car 1 where passengers can read the displayed information, it may be installed anywhere in the car, and a plurality of information display devices may be provided. Note that the information display device 2 only needs to be of such a size that characters, numerals, figures, etc. can be distinguished.
For example, a liquid crystal display, an LED display device, and the like are easily formed to be thin, and are suitable for being installed in a car.

FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of the information display device 2. The information display device 2 according to this embodiment is composed of a display section 6 formed by a liquid crystal display and a menu display section 7 for notifying the display contents by turning on an LED. .

FIG. 3 is a block diagram of the information display device 2. The elevator car 1 has a car call button 8 inside,
A display unit 6 and a menu display unit 7 are provided. The elevator control device 4 has a driving state detecting device 9 for detecting the position and the driving direction of the elevator car, a guidance display in the building, and a data holding for recording and holding display data such as a departure time of a new station and a nearest station. A device 10 and a clock device 11 for counting date, day of the week, time, etc.,
A display command device 12 for commanding the display of various data according to predetermined conditions, a control device 13 for moving various devices of the elevator, and other devices for moving the elevator are provided.

Next, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, a basement floor has a connection to the nearest subway station, a bus stop near the entrance on the ground floor, a basement floor and a ground floor. The operation will be described using an information display device for an elevator installed in a five-story building as an example.

As shown in steps S1 and S2 in FIG.
When the elevator is started, the control device 13 uses the normal timetable from the clock device 11, receives data indicating whether to use the holiday timetable, and sets the departure time data of the day. This setting can be done once a day,
In this embodiment, the configuration is implemented each time. In step S3, the presence or absence of the car call registration is detected. The operation state detection device 9 shown in FIG. 3 receives data from the control device 13 and informs the display command device 12 of the operation direction when the car 1 arrives at the service floor.
As shown in 4 to S7, the display command device 12 switches the display information in accordance with the driving direction of the arriving elevator and the registration of the car call of the passenger who got in. At this time, whether or not the car call registration floor is a floor below the floor on which the passenger has boarded is used as a criterion. In cases other than this combination, that is, general information such as a weather forecast is displayed from the information display device 2 at the time of up operation. Provides information or floor information such as tenants on each floor.

As shown in steps S4, S5 and S6, when the car call registration of the lower floor during down operation is detected, it is indicated whether or not the car call registration is a predetermined specific floor. The determination is made in the device 12, and in the case of other than the specific floor, the provision of the general information is continued as in the case described above. Also, when a car call is registered on a floor above the floor on which the passenger has erroneously boarded during down driving, the provision of general information is similarly continued. However, as shown in steps S5 and S8, when the specific car call detecting means in the display command device 13 detects that the car call registration is a specific floor call registration, for example, the first basement floor When the call registration of B1 has been made, the display command device 12 outputs a command signal to the control device 13 to display the departure time of the subway at the nearest station on the information display device 2 in the car 1. The departure time selection means in the control device 13 that has received the command signal receives the current time data from the clock device 11 and adds the time required for walking to the nearest station to the received time data, and the estimated time of arrival at the station, A comparison with the departure time of the subway registered in the data holding device 10 is performed, and a plurality of departure times of the subway after the above-described expected station arrival time are selected. At this time, in order to lengthen the information provision time in the elevator car with a short information provision time,
When the time data is selected, the comparison is started from the data at the same time, thereby performing a search without waste.

At this time, as shown in step S9, the information display device 2 shows the departure time of the subway that can be used by the passenger, taking into account the time for the elevator user to get off the elevator car 1 and walk to the nearest station. The guidance is displayed by the display means that does not. Further, as shown in step S10, when there are a plurality of available transportation facilities near the entrance on the same floor, the departure time of the transportation facility selected by the same procedure as described above is displayed by switching or scrolling. Provide information to passengers. Step S
As shown in 9, S10 and S12, when the departure times of a plurality of transportation means are displayed as guidance on one display device, a menu display section 7 is provided so that the user does not mistake the departure time of any transportation means. It is preferable to turn on the lamp of the corresponding portion of the menu display section 7 while the departure time of the relevant route or the relevant transportation is displayed. Display guidance on the first floor from step S6 to step S12 via step S11 is also performed in the same procedure as in the case of the above-described first basement floor B1.

When an elevator is used, a passenger who gets on another floor may get off on the same floor. In this case, the information display device 2 provides information to the passenger who has already entered the car. Therefore, there is a disadvantage that a passenger who gets on later cannot receive the information. Therefore, in the configuration shown in the present embodiment, means for detecting a passenger getting into the car is added, and after the guidance display corresponding to the specific floor is completed, the passenger getting on is detected, and the guidance is displayed again by the display means. It is also possible to provide extremely detailed services.

In the above-described embodiment, the departure time of city traffic is guided by the information display device 2 in the car only during down driving. For example, only during up driving, or on a specific floor. Only when driving from the floor to a specific floor, it is possible to display guidance that restricts the information providing partner. In this way, it is possible to provide not only general information premised on providing information to outsiders, such as guidance in the building, but also effective information when people working in the building go out.

Next, another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 5, which is an enlarged view of an operation panel 3 provided in an elevator car. The difference from the previous embodiment is that
The operation panel 3 is provided with a display switching button 14 as a display means. As a whole configuration, a display switching button 14 is provided in the elevator car 1 similarly to the car call button 8 in the block circuit diagram shown in FIG. It is connected to the display command device 12 via a line.

In the present embodiment, the display switching operation is performed in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, and the display of the general information and the display guide such as the departure time of the nearest transportation is performed regardless of whether or not the display is performed. The display contents are sequentially switched according to the operation of the switching button 14. Therefore, the passenger in the car can select and display the required information on the display device by operating the display switching button 14.

In the above-described embodiment, the information display device 2 switches between the guide information in the building and the departure / arrival time information, but a dedicated information display device may be provided for each.
