In general, a card of a system in which necessary data is mainly written by magnetism has its information recording system defined by the JIS standard. For example, “Form A” in the JIS standard has a maximum of 79 areas where data can be written.
There are characters, of which 6 characters, 1 character each, are assigned to the characters that specify the start and end codes, LRC code, separation code, and style code. Are assigned, and other characters in which the total number of characters does not exceed 79 are assigned as characters to which arbitrary data can be written. In addition, “Form A” is defined such that the order of writing the respective data also follows a certain rule.

Therefore, the present invention utilizes the fact that the data written on a credit card, a cash card, or the like as described above complies with a certain rule, and reads the data in the card with a card reader. Once temporarily stored in the storage device, by allowing a user who is allowed to enter and exit the building or a manager of the building to perform a predetermined specific operation or an operation of sending a message, Storing the data in the card in a storage circuit provided in the card reader,
Thereafter, only when the data stored in the card reader matches the data of the card held by the user, the registration of the car call to the specific floor is made valid.

[0010]

As described above, in a card such as a credit card or a cash card which mainly writes data by magnetism, the information recording method is determined by the JIS standard. Required data is written according to the format.

Accordingly, the present invention reads data written on a credit card, cash card, or the like owned by a person who can use the building with a card reader, and then calls the card reader or elevator car. A specific operation or message is sent to the car call registration device to be performed, and the data read by the card reader and the specific floor No. from which the owner descends. Are registered and stored in a storage device in the card reader.

[0012] In this way, once data of a credit card, a cash card, etc. owned by the user of the building is registered in the card reader, registration of the car call is performed only by reading the card into the card reader. Can be done automatically. For this reason, it is not necessary to register a personal identification number each time, or to carry a card or key dedicated to car call registration.

When the user of the building changes or the card is lost, the data is registered in the storage device in the card reader, the stored data is deleted, and the data is re-registered so that an outsider can use the card. Therefore, a very effective means for crime prevention can be provided.

First, with reference to FIG. 2, the information recording format of the magnetic card specified in "Form A" of the JIS standard will be described.

The information recording method of a card, such as a credit card or a cash card, into which necessary data is mainly written by magnetism is defined by the JIS standard. For example, according to “Form A” in the JIS standard, FIG. 2 is defined.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2, the maximum area in which data can be written is 79 characters,
Among them, start code, end code, LRC code, separation code,
A total of six characters, one for each character that specifies the style code, are assigned,
2-2 as characters that can write titles
Six characters are assigned. Further, an area in which other arbitrary data can be written is defined as long as the total number of characters does not exceed 79. Also,
Each of the above-mentioned data is determined so that its writing order follows a certain rule.

Next, the operation of the first embodiment of the present invention for registering a call using a card in which data of such a format is written will be described with reference to FIG. The process from registration to car call registration will be described.

(1) A passenger who is permitted to use an elevator first registers his / her card. Therefore, the magnetic card 2 is inserted into the magnetic head unit 1 to read data written on the magnetic card 2 and input to the logic circuit 7 via the code conversion circuit 6 for converting the data into a serial digital signal. Then, the serial digital signal is converted into a parallel signal, and the logic circuit 7
Once stored and stored.

(2) At this time, the control circuit 9 displays the initial display floor No. on the display device 3. This initial display floor N
As o., the reference floor (for example, the first floor) of the elevator is displayed. Therefore, since the first floor becomes the car call registration floor in this state, the user sets the floor No. of the floor to be descended in the following procedure.

That is, the user can use the magnetic card 2
Is inserted into the magnetic head unit 1 and the data written on the magnetic card 2 is read. Then, the floor No. displayed on the display device 3 is operated to perform the elevator operation and the car call registration within the predetermined time. Perform operations such as pressing part 5 several times,
The floor No. of the floor from which the user descends (for example, 5 on the fifth floor in FIG. 1) is changed.

(3) After the operation of (2), the user inserts the magnetic card 2 into the magnetic head unit 1 again within a predetermined time to read the same data written on the magnetic card 2. By repeating, N of the floor where the user descends
The data of o. (5 in FIG. 1) is stored and stored in the storage circuit 10 via the control circuit 9, and registered as the floor No. of the floor from which the user descends.

(4) At the time of the above operations (1) to (3), if these operations are not completed within a predetermined time, the control circuit 9 determines that the owner of the magnetic card 2 is an outsider to the building. Therefore, these operations are invalidated without registering the data in the magnetic card 2 and registering the floor No. of the floor where the user descends.

(5) When the operations (1) to (3) are completed within a predetermined time, the control circuit 9 determines the registered floor No. 5 of the floor on which the user of the magnetic card 2 will descend. Weights the number of registered floors among the five floors registered as descending floors (for example, the first case; 5-1; the second case; 5-2). 5-1; the data in the magnetic card 2 and the data of the floor No. of the floor from which the user descends are stored, stored and registered in the storage circuit 10 in combination.

When the operations (1) to (3) and (5) described above are completed, the owner of the card used for the operation is registered as a user of the elevator, including the descending floor.

The operation of registering the card may be performed only when the user of the elevator starts using the elevator. The registration function of the control unit 20 is performed in the presence of an administrator or the like. It is desirable to perform this in a state where is enabled.

(6) Thereafter, the user can register the car call only by inserting the registered magnetic card 2 into the magnetic head unit 1 and reading the data in the card. That is, the data read as described above is provided to the matching circuit 8 via the code conversion circuit 6 and the logic circuit 7, and the matching with the user data registered and stored in the storage device 10 is checked. When it is detected that the user is permitted to use the
Notifies the elevator controller 11 of the occurrence of the call and the floor No. of the user's descending floor obtained from the storage device 10 at the time of data collation by the collation circuit 8.

As described above, an elevator user can easily register a car call simply by using a credit card, a cash card, or the like owned by each person without having a card dedicated to car call registration. Outsiders cannot register any car calls.

When the user of the building is changed or the card is lost, it is necessary to delete the data registered in the storage device 10 as described above and re-register the data. It is performed in the following procedure.

(7) First, the registration deletion magnetic card 2 owned by the manager or user of the building is inserted into the magnetic head unit 1 and the data is read. At this time, as in the case of the above (2), the display device 3 displays the car's floor No. as the reference floor of the elevator (for example, 1st floor).
Floor) is displayed. Therefore, the first floor becomes the floor for canceling the registration of the car call in this state, so the floor No. of the floor for canceling the registration of the car call is registered in the following procedure.

(8) As described above, the data written on the magnetic card 2 is read by inserting the magnetic card 2 for deregistration into the magnetic head unit 1 and then displayed on the display device 3 within a predetermined time. The floor No. of the car is deleted by operating the elevator No. of the car call registration by operating the operation unit 5 for registering the car call several times or the like.
In the case of, change to 5), which indicates the fifth floor.

(9) After the operation of (8), an operation of inserting the magnetic card 2 for deregistration into the magnetic head unit 1 again within a predetermined time and reading the same data written on the magnetic card 2 is performed. Repeatedly, floor N of the floor of the car call registration cancellation
o. The data (for example, 5 on the fifth floor in FIG. 1) is stored and stored in the storage circuit 10 via the control circuit 9.

(10) Next, the operation of inserting the magnetic card 2 for deregistering again into the magnetic head unit 2 and reading the same data written on the magnetic card 2 is repeated. At this time, the control circuit 9 determines the number of floors N to be displayed on the display device 3 as the floor N on which the user of the registered magnetic card 2 will descend.
o. The initial value of the weighting No. indicating the number of the registered 5th floor among the 5th floors (for example, in the first case;
1) representing -1 is displayed. Therefore, when the registration of the third registered magnetic card 2 is to be deleted, the operation unit 5 for performing the elevator car call registration is adjusted to the number “3” in the same manner as described above, and then the registration is deleted again. The operation of inserting the same magnetic card 2 into the magnetic head unit 1 and reading the same data written on the magnetic card 2 is repeated, and the data of the third registered magnetic card 2 of the fifth floor car call is deleted. Do.

When registering a new card, a magnetic card can be re-registered by preparing another card and repeating the above operations (1) to (3).

Thus, even if the registered magnetic card 2 is lost, even if the registered magnetic card 2 is lost,
Since the registration can be easily deleted only by using, the use by an outsider can be prevented, and this can be a very effective means for crime prevention.

In the first embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 1, the display operation section for displaying the floor of the car includes a magnetic head section, a display device for displaying the floor No. of the car, and the lowering of the elevator. And the display operation unit housed in the part including the operation unit for registering the elevator car call was used, but instead of this,
A landing position indicator that displays the operating position of the elevator during normal times can be used together, and in this case, the same functions and effects as described above can be obtained.

If the reading operation is not repeated, the registration of the data of the magnetic card 2 and the registration of the floor No. of the floor from which the user descends cannot be performed. Also,
When deleting or re-registering data, it is necessary to use a magnetic card for registration deletion owned by the manager or user of the building. For this reason, the first embodiment of the present invention has a system configuration in which the number of operations for registering, deleting, and reregistering data is slightly larger.

Therefore, in the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, in order to reduce the number of these operations, data registration, deletion and re-registration operations are permitted only once or twice. Permission means 2 such as an electronic lock or key switch
2 are provided.

In the second embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 3, for example, when an electronic lock is used as the permitting means 22, two types of data registration, deletion, and re-registration operations can be performed.

The registration of the data of the magnetic card 2 and the floor No. of the floor from which the user descends are performed. In addition, when data is deleted or re-registered, it is configured so that data can be deleted and re-registered by using a magnetic card for registration deletion owned by the manager or user of the building. I have.

However, in the first embodiment of the present invention, since there is no response after the operation of data registration, deletion, and re-registration, the data is surely registered after the operation of data registration, deletion, and re-registration. Whether registration, deletion, re-registration of
This leaves the user uneasy.

Therefore, the third embodiment of the present invention shown in FIG. 4 operates the card to register the data written on the card, to compare the stored data after registration with the card data, and to match the result of the comparison. The procedure and the result of the car call registration after the completion and the means 23 for guiding the erasure and reregistration of the data written on the card by sound or voice are provided, and the operation of data registration, collation, deletion and reregistration is performed. Each time the operation is completed, the quality of each operation, the presence or absence of completion, and the procedure of the next operation are guided by sound or voice.

According to the third embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to obtain the effect that the operations of data registration, collation, deletion and re-registration can be performed easily and reliably.
