Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device used for, for example, an entrance lock interlocking elevator that can operate in conjunction with the release of an entrance lock of a building.

  In recent years, from the viewpoint of improving the security of private houses, apartment houses, etc., a personal authentication device that installs a personal authentication function at the entrance of a building and authenticates whether or not a user who uses the apartment house is a genuine user. Has been proposed (Patent Document 1).

  This personal authentication device includes an authentication unit for authenticating a user (authenticated person), an image input unit for capturing a user's face image, and an authentication history storage unit, and authenticates biometric information of an IC card possessed by the user. When the user is authenticated and authenticated as a genuine user, a door release instruction signal is sent to the door control unit, while a history holding instruction is issued to the authentication history storage unit, and the user's face image information is stored. It is the structure to do.

  However, in the personal authentication device as described above, if the user forgets or loses the IC card, it cannot be used, and it is a technology related to unlocking the front door lock, taking into account the case of using an elevator. It is not intended to improve security. This means that if an unauthorized user enters the building through the front door, he can move freely on any floor using the elevator, and the elevator will help the unauthorized user move, It was not highly secure security.

In addition, as another conventional technology, in apartment houses, etc., a personal authentication device is installed at the common entrance, personal authentication is performed from the fingerprint of the user, and if it authenticates as a genuine user, it is linked to the unlocking of the entrance. A system that can automatically register the destination floor of an elevator is also considered.

  However, the interlocked elevator security technology described above automatically registers the preset resident's home floor as the destination floor when the user is authenticated as a genuine resident and interlocks with the release of the entrance lock. Therefore, there is a problem that the residents of the apartment house cannot move to other floors other than the home floor.

  On the other hand, if the resident is allowed to freely move to a floor other than the residence floor from the viewpoint of improving usability, there is a problem that the security level is lowered. Therefore, it has been desired to develop an easy-to-use elevator control device that allows a resident to move to a floor other than the resident without lowering the security level.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an easy-to-use elevator control device that can move to a desired floor without lowering the security level.

The elevator control device according to the present invention is installed in an entrance and a car, respectively, and first and second face image photographing means for photographing the user's face image and hand pose, and a resident living in the building Each time, face image reference information, home floor information, entrance floor information, and pose information for moving to another resident floor (moving floor) are stored and transmitted from the first or second face image photographing means. When the face image reference information is referred to based on the face image information to authenticate the authentic resident, the predetermined pose information is continuously read based on the pose sent from the face image photographing means, and the resident's home Resident authentication device that outputs together with floor information or entrance floor information, and resident movement floor memory that stores information on other resident floors (moving floors) that can be moved in correspondence with the pose information of each resident And, when receiving the resident's home floor information or entrance floor information and pose information from the resident authentication device, the destination information on the other resident floor information associated with the pose information from the resident movement floor storage unit A destination floor registration processing unit that automatically registers as a floor, and an operation control device that operates the car based on the destination floor that is automatically registered from the destination floor registration processing unit are provided.

This invention more to the above configuration, resident other can move only home floor by the authentication of the face image, resident of the other which are dating intimately in the same building in When there is a resident, it is necessary to move to a resident floor other than the home floor.

  Therefore, the present invention recognizes the image of the pose by transmitting the image of the pose by the resident's hand that has been negotiated in advance to the resident authentication device after the resident has turned his face to the face image photographing means, Since the predetermined pose information is sent to the destination floor registration processing unit together with the resident's home floor information or entrance floor information, the other resident floor information registered in advance associated with the pose information is read and automatically registered. Residents can easily move to other floors required by hand poses and can realize an easy-to-use elevator control device.

  It is also possible to cancel the destination floor previously registered with the hand pose by the cancel pose and automatically register the home floor of the resident automatically again.

  Furthermore, the resident authentication device and the fingerprint authentication device may be combined.

  According to the present invention, a resident can move to a desired floor using an elevator without lowering the security level, and as a result, it is possible to ensure operation control of the elevator that is easy to use.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

(First embodiment)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a first embodiment of an elevator control apparatus according to the present invention.

  In mid-to-high-rise apartments, etc., from the viewpoint of improving security, there is an entrance such as a door with a door lock function, and the user moves to the elevator landing floor after unlocking the entrance door and uses the elevator. It takes a form. In addition, there is a form in which the user passes through the entrance that is always open, moves to the elevator landing floor as it is, and uses the elevator.

  The elevator control device according to the present invention can be applied to any form, but for convenience of explanation, it is assumed that the elevator control device is applied to an apartment house having an entrance with a door lock function. As an example of an elevator, a rope 2 is wound around a hoist 1 as shown in FIG. 1, and a car 3 is suspended from one end of the rope 2 and a counterweight 4 is suspended from the other end. It has become.

  As this elevator control device, it is installed in the entrance 5 and the elevator car 3, and the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b such as photographing cameras for photographing the face image of the user 6, and the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b. A resident authentication device 8 for authenticating whether or not it is a genuine resident (including a person who has some kind of relationship with the resident; the same applies hereinafter) living in the apartment based on the face image taken in A destination floor automatic registration device 9 for automatically registering a destination floor according to floor information such as a home floor automatically issued from the resident authentication device 8 when the user 6 is authenticated as a genuine resident from the face image. And an operation control device 10 that controls the operation of the elevator.

  As the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b, for example, an analog or digital photographing camera capable of photographing with visible light is used, and a user rides through the entrance 5 regardless of the presence or absence of a door lock function. When boarding or after boarding in the car 3, a face image of the elevator user is taken. It is also possible to use an infrared camera so that shooting can be performed in a relatively dark place at night.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the resident authentication device 8 includes resident face images, face image reference information such as feature information of the face images (see a in FIG. 2), home floor information and entrance floor information for each resident. (Refer to FIG. 5b), and when the face image information is received from the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b, the face reference information stored in the authentication reference information storage unit 8a is referred to. When it is determined whether or not it is a genuine resident and it is authenticated that it is a genuine resident, the resident authentication processing unit 8b that transmits home floor information or entrance floor information associated with the resident. And are provided.

  When the destination floor automatic registration device 9 receives the resident's home floor information or entrance floor information from the resident authentication processing unit 8b, the destination floor automatic registration device 9 executes an automatic registration process of the destination floor according to the home floor information or entrance floor information. In addition, the destination floor automatic registration device 9 receives the destination floor registration instruction from the destination floor button of the car operation panel 11 installed in the car 3, but the home floor information or If you have not received entrance floor information, or you have received home floor information or entrance floor information, but it is different from the destination floor from the destination floor button, automatic registration of the destination floor by the destination floor registration instruction from the destination floor button It is also possible to refuse.

  The operation control device 10 has a function of controlling the operation of the elevator according to a car call button operation installed at each floor landing and an automatic destination registration process by the destination floor automatic registration device 9.

  Next, the operation of the control device as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  The resident authentication processing unit 8b constituting the resident authentication device 8 takes in the face image information from the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b and executes authentication processing at predetermined intervals. Specifically, for example, when the resident A who lives on the fifth floor of the apartment house turns his face to the face image capturing device 7a installed at the entrance 5, the face image information of the resident A is transferred from the face image capturing device 7a. Sent to the person authentication processing unit 8b. Here, while the resident authentication processing unit 8b determines that there is face image information (S1), the face image reference information previously registered in the authentication reference information storage unit 8a based on the face image information (FIG. 2). If (a)) is referred to and face image reference information having a similarity equal to or greater than the required value exists, the user who faces his face to the face image photographing device 7a is a genuine resident. Otherwise, it is authenticated that it is not a resident (S2). If it is authenticated that the user is not a resident, the process returns to step S1.

  When the resident authentication processing unit 8b authenticates that the resident is a genuine resident, the occupant authentication processing unit 8b outputs a lock release instruction signal of the entrance 5 and releases the door lock of the entrance 5 through a door control unit (not shown). The home floor or entrance floor information associated with the resident A who is regarded as a genuine resident is transmitted, and “1” is set in the authentication flag (S3). This authentication flag “1” indicates that the resident A has been authenticated and has transmitted home floor or entrance floor information.

  By the way, normally, in the case of a face image taken by the entrance side face image photographing device 7a, the resident A moves from the entrance floor to the home floor, so the home floor information is transmitted, while the car side face image photographing device. In the case of the face image photographed in 7b, the resident A moves from the fifth floor of the home floor to the entrance floor, and therefore transmits the entrance floor information.

  The destination floor automatic registration device 9 determines the presence of home floor information or entrance floor information from the resident authentication processing unit 8b (S4). On the other hand, automatic registration processing is performed with the fifth floor as the destination floor (S5).

  After this automatic registration processing of the home floor and when it is determined that there is no information on the home floor etc., it is determined whether or not the destination floor button of the car operation panel 11 in the car 3 has been operated (S6). Is judged to have been operated, it is judged whether or not the destination floor is the same as the fifth floor (authentication flag “1”) previously registered (S7). Confirm that the button was operated under the destination floor. When a destination floor button different from the previously registered fifth floor is operated, it is determined that the person is not a resident and the destination floor registration process is not performed. That is, the registration process by the operation of the destination floor button is rejected.

  In addition, the operation control apparatus 10 stops on the floor of a resident's home floor sequentially from the nearest floor among these registration floors based on the registration process of the destination floor by the destination floor automatic registration apparatus 9, and a resident is made into a home floor. Lower (S8).

  Furthermore, when operation continues (S9), it returns to step S1 and repeats the same process.

  On the other hand, when the resident A who lives on the 5th floor gets into the car 3 and turns his face to the face image capturing device 7b, the resident authentication device 8 uses the face image information from the face image capturing device 7b in the same manner as described above. If it authenticates that it is a resident (S1, S2), the destination floor information which makes the entrance floor the destination floor is transmitted instead of unlocking (S3), and thereafter the same processing is executed (S4 to S9).

  Therefore, according to the above embodiment, if the resident who lives in the apartment house turns his face to the face image photographing device 7a, the resident authentication device 8 uses the face image information from the face image photographing device 7a. If the resident is a resident, the entrance 5 is unlocked and the preset resident's home floor is set as the destination floor, and the registration process is automatically performed. A resident can move between the home floor and the entrance floor without always carrying an IC card or the like as in the past, and in the case of a face image of a person other than the resident, the registration process of the destination floor is impossible. In addition, even if the destination floor button is operated, if it is not the home floor of the previous resident, the registration process is rejected, so that unauthorized intruders cannot enter the resident floor using the elevator, and the security level Reduce , It is possible that only residents to move to the home floor by using the elevator. Similarly, when the resident moves to the entrance floor, the elevator operates under the authentication processing of the face image photographing device 7b of the car 3 and the resident authentication device 8 resident authentication processing unit 8b. Intruders cannot move using the elevator.

  In the above embodiment, when the destination floor button of the car operation panel 11 is operated, the automatic registration is ignored unless information on the home floor or the entrance floor based on the resident authentication is received from the resident authentication device 8. However, for example, the resident authentication processing unit 8b of the resident authentication device 8 determines that the face images from the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b have been received in an appropriate state, and a face image accumulation database (not shown). When it is determined that the face image corresponding to is stored, information that enables registration processing by the destination floor button is sent to the destination floor automatic registration device 9, and the destination floor automatic by the operation of the destination floor button of the car operation panel 11 is transmitted. It may be configured to perform registration.

(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the elevator control apparatus according to the present invention. In the figure, the same or equivalent parts as in FIG. 1 are described with the same reference numerals, and the details will be given in the description of FIG.

  In this embodiment, not only the home floor acquired from the user's face image information but also the pose by the resident's hand can be recognized and moved to a resident floor (use floor) other than the predetermined home floor. This is an example.

  This elevator control device is different from the configuration shown in FIG. 1 in the configurations of the resident authentication device 8 and the destination floor automatic registration device 9, and the other configurations are the same as those in FIG. .

  That is, the resident authentication device 8 includes an authentication reference information storage unit 8a and a resident authentication processing unit 8b. In the authentication reference information storage unit 8a, as shown in FIG. The authentication flag area, the home floor, the entrance floor, and the pose information are registered for each resident and a plurality of pose pattern information (see the figure (b)). For example, for the resident A who lives on the fifth floor of the apartment house, the home floor: the fifth floor, the entrance floor: the first floor, and the pose information “1”, “2”, “3” are registered. The pose information “1” corresponds to the pose “1” in FIG. 5B, the pose information “2” corresponds to the pose “2”, and so on.

  The resident authentication processing unit 8b refers to the resident's face image reference information as shown in FIG. 5 (a) based on the face images sent from the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b. When the user poses by hand toward the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b after authentication, the same figure (b) based on the image of the hand pose from the face image photographing devices 7a and 7b. The pose information “1” corresponding to the pose by a genuine resident is retrieved with reference to the poses “1”, “2”,... It has a function of transmitting to the automatic registration device 9.

  The destination floor automatic registration device 9 includes a resident moving floor storage unit 9a in which moving floor information for pose information for each resident is registered, and a resident's home floor transmitted from the resident authentication processing unit 8b. Information or entrance floor information is temporarily stored in a predetermined area of the resident moving floor storage unit 9a, and is already set in the resident moving floor storage unit 9a based on the pose information “1” of the pose by the resident. There is provided a destination floor registration processing unit 9b for taking out the information on other resident floors (moving floor information) and automatically registering the destination floor.

  Next, the operation of the elevator control device configured as described above will be described.

  First, the resident movement floor storage unit 9a has pose information “1”: the third floor, pose information “2”: the eighth floor, and pose information “3”: the tenth floor corresponding to the resident A who lives on the fifth floor. It is remembered. Accordingly, the pose information “1”, “2”, and “3” is registered in advance in the authentication reference information storage unit 8a corresponding to the resident A.

  In the state as described above, it is assumed that the resident A who lives on the fifth floor of the apartment house turns his face to the face image photographing device 7a installed at the entrance 5 and poses "2" by hand. Accordingly, in addition to the face image of the user, the image of the pose “2” is sent from the face image photographing device 7a to the resident authentication processing unit 8b.

  In this resident authentication processing unit 8b, if the face image reference information stored in the authentication reference information storage unit 8a is checked based on the face image information from the face image photographing device 7a and authenticated as a genuine resident, While unlocking the entrance 5, the pose pattern stored in the authentication reference information storage unit 8a is referred to based on the image of the pose “2”, and the pose “2” is recognized. Thus, the home floor or the entrance floor for the resident A and the pose information “2” are extracted and sent to the destination floor automatic registration device 9.

  The destination floor registration processing unit 9b of the destination floor automatic registration device 9 stores, for example, home floor information of the resident A transmitted from the resident authentication processing unit 8b in an appropriate area of the resident movement floor storage unit 9a. On the other hand, based on the pose information “2” from the resident authentication processing unit 8b, the pose information “2” already registered for the resident A in advance, not based on the 5th floor of the home floor, but based on the 8th floor It is determined that the person A requests the 8th floor from the pause information “2”, and the 8th floor is automatically registered as the destination floor.

  In addition, it is assumed that a resident A who lives on the fifth floor gets on the car 3, turns his face to the face image photographing device 7b, and takes a pose "3" by hand, for example. When the resident authentication processing unit 8b authenticates the authentic resident A as described above, the resident entrance floor information and the pose information “3” based on the recognition of the pose “3” are obtained from the authentication reference information storage unit 8a. It is taken out and transmitted to the destination floor automatic registration device 9. The destination floor automatic registration device 9 stores the entrance floor information transmitted from the resident authentication processing unit 8b in an appropriate area of the resident movement floor storage unit 9a, while the pause information from the resident authentication processing unit 8b. Based on “3”, not the entrance floor information but the pose information “3” already registered for the resident A in advance: Based on the 10th floor, the resident A requests the 10th floor from the pose information “3”. The 10th floor is automatically registered as the destination floor.

  Therefore, according to the embodiment as described above, by registering the relationship between the pose information of the resident and the moving floor in advance in the resident moving floor storage unit 9a connected to the destination floor automatic registration device 9, Since the person authentication device 8 authenticates the authentic resident from the face image information of the face image photographing device 7a, acquires pose information from the image of the pose by hand, and transmits it to the destination floor automatic registration device 9, The destination floor automatic registration device 9 can take out the moving floor information to and from other residents of the apartment house from the pose information and automatically register it as the destination floor. Thereby, a resident can move easily to floors other than the home floor, and an elevator excellent in usability can be realized without deteriorating security.

(Third embodiment)
In this embodiment, the second embodiment describes an example in which a resident registers a moving floor that goes to and from another resident as a destination floor in a pose, but when a resident takes a cancel pose, This is an example of recognizing the cancel pose and canceling the destination floor automatically registered earlier.

  First, the occupant movement floor storage unit 9a further stores cancel information for a cancel pose for each resident. In the resident movement floor storage unit 9a, a movement floor that moves to and from other residents by the previous pose is registered as a destination floor. At this time, home floor information and the like are stored in the resident movement floor storage unit 9a at the time of the previous automatic registration.

  In such a state, for example, after the user turned his face to the face image photographing device 7a, he took a pose by hand to move to a resident floor other than the home floor. When there is a case where it is desired to cancel the movement of the floor, the user takes a cancel pose toward the face image photographing device 7a.

  Here, the resident authentication processing unit 8b recognizes the cancel pose sent from the face image photographing device 7a, extracts the cancel information corresponding to the cancel pose, and transmits it to the destination floor automatic registration device 9. When the destination floor automatic registration device 9 receives the cancellation information within 3 seconds after the elevator is activated, the destination floor automatic registration device 9 cancels the destination floor call that has been automatically registered first, and the resident A's home floor 5 floor The automatic registration process is executed again.

  Therefore, according to the embodiment as described above, in addition to a pose for going back and forth within the apartment house, a pose for canceling a resident's floor (moving floor) other than the home floor previously registered. Based on the above, the registered destination floor call registration is canceled and the registered home floor is registered as the destination floor, so the destination floor can be changed as necessary, the destination floor can be canceled, and the home It can be automatically registered again on the floor, and the occupant can move the apartment house very flexibly while ensuring sufficient security.
