Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control device that controls an elevator.

  There is an elevator that can be opened and used only for people who have been authenticated in response to the growing social interest in crime prevention. However, in such an elevator, there is a security hole called so-called companion where an unauthenticated person gets into the elevator at the same time and can use the elevator when the door is opened to an authenticated person.

  Conventional elevator control apparatuses are disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, for example. Patent Document 1 discloses a technique in which the number of passengers is input and compared with the actual number of passengers, and when the number of passengers matches, the vehicle is operated directly to the destination floor. Patent Document 2 discloses a technique in which a hall call button and an authentication device are installed at a hall so that operation in an elevator car is impossible when the number of authentications does not match the number of people.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-237837 JP 2006-168930 A

  Patent Document 1 shows that when an unauthenticated person is not detected, the vehicle is operated directly, and when an unauthenticated person is detected, the elevator is not started. If not, there is a problem that the elevator cannot be used not only on the floor but also on the other floor. In addition, there is a problem that the elevator cannot be used if the certifier is erroneously detected as a non-authenticator even if the certifier is only in the elevator and the elevator is not started.

  Patent Document 2 shows that operation in the car is impossible when a non-authenticated person is detected, but does not mention a method for restoring normal operation after detection of the non-authenticated person. However, there is a problem that the elevator cannot be used if the in-car operation is disabled even though the state where the non-authenticated person is in the boarding state is finished.

  As described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, it is inconvenient for the certifier to restrict the operation of the elevator after detecting the non-authenticated person. Necessary.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator control device that can improve the convenience of an elevator user.

The elevator control device according to the present invention compares an in-car authentication unit for acquiring authentication information in an elevator car with the authentication information acquired by the in-car authentication unit, and an elevator by a user in the car. and collating means for authenticating a use, a detecting means for detecting the use of an elevator by the unauthenticated user, by said detecting means, when the elevator according unauthenticated user usage is detected, the non-authentication process at the time predetermined perform the Non-authentication processing means, and a certifier comprising cancellation means for stopping the non-authentication processing by the non-authentication processing means, and the cancellation means is composed of the same device as the in-car authentication means And a canceling unit for stopping the non-authentication process when the verification information verified by the verification unit is acquired again by the in-car authentication unit .

According to the elevator controller of the present invention, it is possible to improve the user's convenience of the elevators.

  As described in Patent Documents 1 and 2, if the operation of the elevator is restricted after detecting a non-authenticated person, it will be inconvenient for the certifier, so it is automatically restored to the normal operation when the safety is confirmed. It will be necessary. Even if there is no restriction on the operation of the elevator, even if the non-authenticated person informs the content that the passenger is in the boarding after detecting the accompanying passenger, similarly, the notification is made despite the absence of the non-authenticated person. Continuing will result in anxiety for the elevator user and may cause misunderstanding of the failure, so a technology for automatically terminating the notification is desired.

  Therefore, in the following embodiment, an elevator control device that takes into account the convenience of the elevator user will be described.

  The control device main body 1 is realized by a microcomputer, and the actual boarding / alighting person estimation means 11, the regular user count counting means 12, the comparison means 13, the collation means 14, the collation database 15, and the operation control means 16 constituting the control device main body 1. The door control means 17 and the user presence / absence estimation means 18 are constituted by software on a microcomputer.

  The measuring means 2 includes a weight sensor 25, a photoelectric sensor 26, and an in-car camera 27. The landing authentication means 3 includes a landing IC (Integrated Circuit) tag reader 31, a landing biometric authentication device 32, a landing physical key 33, and a landing tenkey 34. The notification means 4 includes a hall display 41, an in-car display 42 and an in-car audio transmitter 43. The cancel means 5 includes a cancel IC tag reader 51, a cancel button 52, a cancel biometric authentication device 53, a cancel physical key 54, and a cancel ten key 55.

  The actual boarding / alighting number estimating means 11 estimates the number of passengers on the car body 9 and the number of people getting off from the car body 9 based on the measurement data given from the measuring means 2. The collation means 14 collates the hall authentication information given from the hall authentication means 3 with the holding authentication information held in the collation database 15 described later, and uses the hall authentication information input using the hall authentication means 3 It is determined whether or not the person is a person who has been previously authenticated to use the elevator (hereinafter may be referred to as “certifier”). More specifically, the verification unit 14 is a detection unit that detects that a non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8. The collation database 15 holds retained authentication information that is authentication information of a person who is authenticated to use the elevator, and information such as a destination floor of the person who has the authentication information.

The regular user number counting means 12 totals the number of persons determined that the use of the elevator is authenticated by the collating means 14, and counts the number of persons scheduled to board the car body 9 on that floor. The comparison means 13 compares the number of persons estimated by the actual boarding / alighting number estimation means 11 with the number of persons counted by the regular user number counting means 12, and a person other than the certifier (hereinafter referred to as “non-authenticated person”). It is determined whether or not there is an elevator, that is, whether or not a non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8, and the determination result is notified to the elevator user through the notification means 4. . The comparison means 13 functions as a detection means for detecting that a non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8. Moreover, the comparison means 13 functions as a temporal control means for canceling the state in which the non-authenticated person is detected after a predetermined time has elapsed since it is detected that the non-authenticated person is in the elevator car. . The operation control means 16 controls the operation of the elevator according to, for example, a hall call. The door control means 17 moves the door 10 of the car 8 in the opening / closing direction X to open / close the door 10. The user presence / absence estimation means 18 estimates the presence / absence of a user in the elevator car 8. In the present embodiment, the canceling means 5, the comparing means 13, and the user presence / absence estimating means 18 are releasing means for canceling the state in which the collating means 14 as the detecting means detects the boarding of the non-authenticated person.

  The weight sensor 25 measures the load weight of the elevator car 8. The photoelectric sensor 26 measures the passing situation of the elevator user inside or outside the car body 9. The photoelectric sensor includes a plurality of light projectors and a plurality of light receivers, and each light projector and each light receiver correspond to each other on a one-to-one basis. If the signal light from the projector is blocked by the user when the user of the elevator passes between the projector and the receiver in this embodiment, the change in the amount of light blocked by the receiver is detected. Is configured to do. The car camera 27 photographs the inside of the car 8.

  The hall authentication means 3 is operated by an elevator user when inputting elevator use registration or authentication information. The boarding IC tag reader 31 reads a user-specific IC tag. The biometric authentication device 32 for a hall reads biometric information unique to the living body such as a fingerprint, an iris, a palm vein, a finger vein, and a face image. The landing physical key 33 is a keyhole that can be unlocked by inserting a predetermined physical key. The landing numeric keypad 34 is used to input a predetermined password.

  The hall display 41 and the car display 42 are constituted by, for example, a liquid crystal display, and display information indicating that, for example, sharing is occurring. The in-car audio transmitter 43 is constituted by a speaker, and outputs, for example, information indicating that a companion is occurring by voice.

  For example, when the canceling unit 5 cannot receive the judgment that the elevator can be used by the verification unit 14 such as a family member, a relative, a friend, or a lover of the certifier, the cancellation unit 5 rides with a person who is not a suspicious person for the certifier. A suspicious person who has been informed that they are in a shared state gets off the elevator car body 9 and the safety in the elevator car 8 is secured, there is a certifier who has forgotten the authentication operation and When the actual passenger number estimation means 11 erroneously estimates a large number of persons, the authenticator cancels the accompanying state, closes the door 10 of the car 8, and allows the departure. The cancel means 5 is operated by the elevator user when canceling the co-payment state, and gives a cancel signal to the elevator apparatus main body 1A.

  More specifically, in the accompanying state, the IC tag is read by the certifier holding the IC tag over the cancellation IC tag reader 51, or the fingerprint, iris, palm vein, finger Authentication is performed by reading biometric information unique to the living body such as a vein and a face image, pressing a cancel button 52, or inserting a predetermined physical key into a canceling physical key 54 which is a keyhole provided in the car 8. Or by inputting a predetermined personal identification number from the cancel keypad 55, the accompanying state is canceled.

  When the canceling IC tag reader 51 is installed in the elevator car 8 as the canceling means 5, it is necessary to distribute the IC tag to those who can use the elevator in advance. The IC tag to be distributed may be the same as the IC tag used for authentication in the hall authentication means 3. Further, when a keyhole is installed in the elevator car 8 as the canceling means 5, it is necessary to distribute a predetermined physical key to a person who can use the elevator in advance. The physical key to be distributed may be the same as the physical key used for authentication in the hall authentication means 3.

  Further, when the cancel button 52 is installed in the elevator car 8 as the canceling means 5, if a single cancel button is installed, even a non-authenticated person can cancel it. It is also possible to install a cancel button and cancel the block sign of the plurality of buttons. The block sign may be, for example, a code number, or may be a method in which a specific button such as a door closing button provided in the elevator car 8 is kept pressed for a long time or is pressed several times. Good. It is assumed that the block sign is well known to the certifier.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the operation of the elevator control device main body 1 in the elevator control device 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4 is a graph showing time-series changes in the load weight of the car 8 measured by the weight sensor 25. The horizontal axis in FIG. 4 indicates time t (i), and the vertical axis indicates the load weight W (i) of the car 8 measured at time t (i). Here, the variable i is the sampling number of the weight sensor 25, and t (i) −t (i−1) is the sampling period of the weight sensor 25. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, when the hall authentication means 3 is operated by the elevator user and the hall authentication information for using the elevator is input, this process starts, and the process proceeds to step a1.

  In step a1, the control device body 1 collects the hall authentication information given from the hall authentication means 3, and proceeds to step a2. In step a2, the collation unit 14 collates the hall authentication information given from the hall authentication unit 3 with the holding authentication information held in advance in the collation database 15, and proceeds to step a3.

  In step a3, the collating unit 14 determines whether the hall authentication information and the holding authentication information match, and if they match, the user who has entered the hall authentication information using the hall authentication unit 3 Then, it is determined that the use of the elevator is an authenticator who has been authenticated in advance, in other words, the use of the elevator is possible, and the process proceeds to step a4. In step a3, if the hall authentication information does not match the retained authentication information, the process proceeds to step a5.

  In step a4, the verification means 14 receives a hall call signal based on the operation of the hall call button by the elevator user and registers the hall call in the operation control means 16. The operation control means 16 controls the operation of the elevator car 8 according to the hall call. When hall call registration is performed in step a4, the process proceeds to step a6.

  In step a5, the control device body 1 determines whether or not the elevator has been called. If the elevator has not been called yet, the control apparatus body 1 returns to step a1, and if the elevator has already been called, moves to step a7.

  In step a6, the regular user number counting means 12 adds up the number of persons who have been authenticated by the collating means 14, that is, who are determined to be authenticators, to the car body 9 on the floor. Count the expected number of passengers. It is assumed that the initial value of the number of people scheduled to board the car body 9 on the floor is zero and is held in advance in the regular user counting means 12. When the planned number of passengers is counted in step a6, the process proceeds to step a7.

  In step a7, the door control means 17 opens the door 10 in response to the fact that the car body 9 has arrived at the floor from the operation control means 16. When the door 10 is opened in step a7, the process proceeds to step a8.

  In step a8, the measuring means 2 receives a door opening signal indicating that the door 10 is opened from the door control means 17, and the weight of the elevator car 8, the elevator user's car main body 9 or the car main body 9 outside. At least one of the passing situation to the car and the image in the car 9 is measured. The result measured by the measuring means 2 is used when estimating the number of people who actually get on the car body 9 (hereinafter referred to as “actual number of passengers”). Since the person gets on and off only when the door 10 is open, the measuring means 2 of the present embodiment is configured to receive the door opening signal from the door control means 17 and perform the measurement. The measurement itself may be configured to always be performed. Even if it is configured to always measure, if there is a measurement result when the door 10 is open, it is possible to estimate the actual number of passengers. When measured in step a8, the process proceeds to step a9.

  In step a9, the actual passenger number estimation means 11 estimates the actual number of passengers based on the measurement result given from the measurement means 2. When the actual number of passengers is estimated in step a9, the process proceeds to step a10.

  In step a10, the comparison means 13 compares the planned number of passengers acquired from the regular user number counting means 12 with the actual number of passengers acquired from the actual number of passengers estimation means 11, and the actual number of passengers exceeds the planned number of passengers. Whether or not the non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8 is determined. If it is determined in step a10 that the actual number of passengers exceeds the planned number of passengers, the process proceeds to step a11, where the actual number of passengers does not exceed the planned number of passengers, that is, the actual number of passengers is equal to or less than the planned number of passengers. If it is determined that there is, the process proceeds to step a15. Shifting to step a11 corresponds to detecting that a non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8.

  In step a11, the comparison means 13 does not permit the door control means 17 to close the door 10, and through the notification means 4, information indicating that the accompanying is occurring, and for the accompanying occurrence. Elevator information is notified to the elevator users. Specifically, information indicating that a companion has occurred is displayed on the hall display 41 or the in-car display 42, or a companion has occurred from the in-car audio transmitter 43. The information to represent is output by voice. As a result, a regular elevator user, that is, a user who has been authenticated for use of the elevator, can receive the notification content from the notification means 4 and get off from the elevator car body 9. When the notification by the notification unit 4 is completed in step a11, the process proceeds to step a12.

  In step a12, the comparison means 13 determines whether or not a cancel signal has been received from the cancellation means 5. If not received, the process proceeds to step a13. If received, the process proceeds to step a15. In step a12, when the elevator user recognizes from the information notified from the notification means 4 that the currently on board elevator is in the accompanying state, the elevator user can cancel the accompanying state through the canceling means 5. it can. When the comparison means 13 receives the cancel signal in step a12, the comparison means 13 stops notifying by the notification means 4 that it is in the accompanying state, and permits the door control means 17 to close the door 10. .

  In step a13, the user presence / absence estimation means 18 estimates the presence / absence of a user in the elevator car 8, and if it is estimated that there is a user in the car 8, the accompanying state is not canceled, that is, unauthenticated. If it is determined that only the passenger is staying in the elevator car 8, the process proceeds to step a14. If it is estimated that there is no user in the car 8, the process proceeds to step a15. Shifting to this step a15 is equivalent to canceling the state where the boarding of the non-authenticated person is detected.

  A method in which the user presence / absence estimation means 18 estimates the presence / absence of a user in the elevator car 8 in step a13 will be described. If the loading weight W (i) when the sampling number i is the largest value of the loading weight W (i), that is, the latest data of the loading weight W (i) is defined as W (i_max), in step a13, The user presence / absence estimation unit 18 receives the loaded weight W (i_max) from the measurement unit 2, and the loaded weight W (i_max) is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold W_judge stored in the user presence / absence estimation unit 18 in advance. In this case, it is estimated that there is no user (no) in the elevator car 8. On the other hand, when the loaded weight W (i_max) is larger than the threshold value W_judge, the user presence / absence estimation means 18 estimates that there is a user in the elevator car 8 (yes).

  The load weight compared with the threshold value W_judge by the user presence / absence estimation unit 18 may be a corrected load weight W (i_max) based on the equation (1) described later. For example, when the elevator weight sensor 25 is installed at the position shown in the figure, the weight sensor 25 includes the weight of the elevator car 8 itself and the weight of the rope in addition to the weight of the user in the elevator car 8. It is measured. Since the rope length becomes longer as the elevator car 8 goes to the lower floor, the measured value of the weight sensor 25 may differ depending on the position of the elevator car 8. Therefore, based on the following equation (1), the measured value W (i_max) is corrected by the position of the elevator car 8 to obtain a corrected loaded weight rev_W (i_max).

Load weight after correction rev_W (i_max) [kg]
= W (i_max) [kg]-{Rope density [kg / m] x Weighted rope length [m]} (1)

  Alternatively, correction may be performed based on a simple expression such as Expression (2) below, and the corrected load weight rev_W (i_max) may be obtained.

Load weight after correction rev_W (i_max) [kg]
= W (i_max) [kg] − {floor × coefficient} [kg] (2)

  It is assumed that the coefficient in the equation (2) is held in advance by the user presence / absence estimation means 18. In addition, the load weight compared with the threshold value W_judge by the user presence / absence estimation unit 18 may slightly increase or decrease due to the vibration of the user in the elevator car 8. For this reason, it may be an average value of the specific period [t (i_max−k), t (i_max)] of the loaded weight W (i_max) or the corrected loaded weight rev_W (i_max). As a result, the possibility of erroneous estimation of the presence / absence of the user due to the load weight slightly increasing / decreasing due to the vibration of the user in the elevator car 8 is reduced.

  In step a14, the comparison means 13 determines whether the time is up, in other words, whether a predetermined time has elapsed, and waits until the predetermined time has elapsed. If has passed, the process proceeds to step a15. Shifting to this step a15 is equivalent to canceling the state where the boarding of the non-authenticated person is detected.

  In step a15, the door control means 17 closes the door 10 and then ends all processing procedures.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, after detecting that the non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8 by the comparison means 13 that is the detection means, the cancel means 5 that is the release means is used. By the person presence / absence estimation means 18 or the comparison means 13, the state in which the non-authenticated person is detected is released. Accordingly, even if the elevator operation is restricted after the non-authenticated person is detected, it is possible to restore the normal operation, thereby improving the convenience of the elevator user.

  Similarly, when the information indicating that the non-authenticator is being detected is notified after the non-authenticated person is detected, the canceling means 5, the user presence / absence estimating means 18, or the comparing means 13, which is the canceling means, By canceling the state in which the certifier's boarding is detected and stopping the notification, it is possible to avoid worries of the subsequent user. In addition, it is possible to prevent a later user from mistaking it as a failure. Further, by stopping the voice notification, it is possible to prevent noise from residents around the elevator.

In addition, as a method of canceling, for example, a method of automatically returning to normal operation after a certain time has elapsed by the comparison unit 13 that is a temporal control unit without providing the user presence / absence estimation unit 18 and the cancellation unit 5 is employed. Users of halls on other floors must wait until a certain period of time passes to restore normal operation. According to the present embodiment, when there is no user in the elevator car 8 by the user presence / absence estimation means 18, the elevator is returned to the normal operation state, so that the users of the landings on other floors are kept waiting. It is possible to prevent the occurrence of this problem. In addition, the user who was in the elevator car 8 when the non-authenticated person was detected, the non-authenticated person gets off, and once he gets off, the elevator returns to a usable state, so that the user is kept waiting. Can be prevented in advance.

  Moreover, in the elevator control apparatus that can detect a non-authenticated person like the elevator control apparatus 100 of the present embodiment, it is necessary to consider a case where the person is not a suspicious person although it is a non-authenticated person. For example, the family of a certifier, relatives, friends, lovers, etc. are detected as non-certifiers. In this case, a method is required for the authenticator to at least manually register that the non-authenticator is not suspicious, thereby restoring the elevator to normal operation.

  In the present embodiment, the elevator car 8 includes canceling means 5 for the certifier to register that the non-certifier is not a suspicious person, so that the certifier is not authenticated such as a family who is not a suspicious person. When the passenger rides with the driver, the state where the non-authenticated person is detected can be canceled and the elevator can be returned to the normal operation. This makes it possible to use the elevator while ensuring crime prevention. The certifier who was in the elevator car 8 when the non-authenticated person was detected should cancel the non-certified person detection state and immediately return the elevator to normal operation when the non-certified person gets off. Is possible. As a result, it is possible to improve the convenience of the certifier while ensuring crime prevention.

  In the present embodiment, the comparison means 13 also functions as a time control means. In step a14, the non-authenticator is detected to be in the elevator car 8 and after a predetermined time has passed, Since the state where the authentication person's boarding is detected is canceled, the state where the non-authenticated person's boarding is detected can be canceled without providing the canceling means 5 and the user presence / absence estimation means 18. Accordingly, even if the elevator operation is restricted after the non-authenticated person is detected, it is possible to restore the normal operation, thereby improving the convenience of the elevator user.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when it is detected that only the non-authenticated person stays in the elevator car 8, in step a11, the door control means 17 constituting the non-authentication processing means performs the non-authentication process. Then, the closing prohibition process for prohibiting the closing of the door 10 is performed. This cancels the registration of the destination floor that has already been registered on the floor so that the non-authenticated person who stays in the elevator car 8 cannot freely move to the destination floor. Since it can be impossible until boarding call registration is performed and boarding is detected, crimes by non-authenticated persons can be prevented.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the user presence / absence estimation means 18 estimates the presence / absence of a user in the elevator car 8 based on the loaded weight data output from the weight sensor 25 that measures the loaded weight of the elevator. This eliminates the need for processing such as analysis of the image as compared with the case of estimation based on the image taken by the in-car camera 27, for example, and thus the presence / absence of the user in the elevator car 8 can be more easily determined. Can be estimated.

  In addition, the notification means 4 may or may not stop the notification of information indicating that the non-authenticated person is in the boarding state, in other words, the accompanying state. To do. If the information indicating that it is in a shared state has been continuously reported, an option whether to use the elevator or not is provided to subsequent elevator users, thereby improving crime prevention. it can. However, for example, when the hall display 41 or the in-car display 42 is not installed and only the in-car audio transmitter 43 is installed, information indicating that it is in the accompanying state is transmitted by voice. If it continues, it becomes a noise for the residents around the elevator. For such a reason, when the notification must be stopped, the notification may be resumed when the door 10 is opened in response to the next hall call.

  Alternatively, the lighting in the elevator car 8 may be turned off after the door 10 is closed, and the lighting may be turned on after the door 10 is opened in response to the next hall call. In this case, the illumination is included in the notification means 4. Further, the control function that controls lighting on and off may be separately provided in the elevator control device main body 1 as the lighting control means, but may be included in the operation control means 16. From the viewpoint of the user who registered the next hall call, it is possible to know that there was a user in the elevator car 8 that is not lit, and it is possible to regard a non-authenticated person as a suspicious person. Thereby, even if the notification is stopped, an option of whether or not to use the elevator can be provided to subsequent elevator users, and crime prevention can be improved.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 described above, when the comparison unit 13 does not receive a cancel signal from the cancellation unit 5 at step a12, the presence / absence of the user is estimated by the user presence / absence estimation unit 18 at step a13. However, the process may proceed to step a14 without proceeding to step a13, and the door 10 may be closed by the door control means 17 when a predetermined time has elapsed. In this case, the user presence / absence estimation means 18 becomes unnecessary. Although there is no user in the elevator car 8, the elevator will not return to a usable state until a predetermined time elapses, compared with the case where the user presence / absence estimation means 18 is provided. Although the degree of reduction in the hindrance to convenience is reduced, the user presence / absence estimation means 18 is not required, so that the configuration of the elevator control device main body 1 can be simplified.

  Further, in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, in step a11, after the information indicating that the accompanying state is informed, the process proceeds to step a12 and the canceling unit 5 can cancel the accompanying state. Instead of proceeding to step a12, the process may proceed to step a13, and the presence / absence of the user may be estimated by the user presence / absence estimation means 18. In this case, the canceling means 5 is not necessary. When a non-authenticated person detects, in other words, when a shared state is detected, all the users in the elevator car 8 must use the elevator once to get out of the elevator. In comparison, the degree of reduction in convenience hindrance decreases. Also, when traveling with the family of a certifier, relatives, friends, lovers, etc., if the cancellation means 5 is not provided, the elevator cannot be used as it is. It is necessary not to cancel the registration of the registered destination floor, and the degree of crime prevention is reduced as compared with the case where the cancel unit 5 is provided. However, when the canceling means 5 is unnecessary, the configuration of the elevator apparatus main body 1 can be simplified.

  In step a13 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, the user presence / absence estimation means 18 may estimate the presence / absence of a user in the elevator car 8 by the following method. That is, the user presence / absence estimation means 18 holds in advance the image data when there is no user from the in-car camera 27 of the measuring means 2, and the image data when there is no user and the latest image data. The presence or absence of a user in the elevator car 8 may be estimated by comparison. In this way, by estimating the presence / absence of a user in the elevator car 8 based on the image photographed by the in-car camera 27, for example, based on the loaded weight data output from the weight sensor 25, In comparison, the presence / absence of the user in the elevator car 8 can be estimated more accurately.

  Next, an example of a method for estimating the actual number of passengers by means of the actual passenger number estimation means 11 in step a9 of FIG. 3 will be described. FIG. 5 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the actual passenger number estimation means 11. The actual boarding / alighting number estimating means 11 includes a passing number of persons estimating means 11a and a traveling direction estimating means 11b. The passing number estimating means 11a and the traveling direction estimating means 11b are electrically connected to each other and configured by software on a microcomputer.

  The passing person estimation means 11a estimates the passing person number of the door 10 based on the measurement result of the photoelectric sensor 26 installed in the door 10 of the car 8, for example. The traveling direction estimation unit 11b estimates the traveling direction of the user based on, for example, the measurement result of the loaded weight of the car 8 by the weight sensor 25. The actual passenger number estimation means 11 estimates the number of passengers entering the car body 9 and the number of persons getting off from the car body 9 from the estimation result of the passing person estimation means 11a and the estimation result of the traveling direction estimation means 11b.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the operation of the actual passenger number estimation means 11. FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining a method of estimating the traveling direction. FIG. 7A is a graph showing a time-series change in the loaded weight of the car 8 measured by the weight sensor 25, and FIG. 7B is a diagram showing a time-series change in the traveling direction. FIG. 8 is a diagram for explaining a method of matching the number of passing people and the traveling direction. FIG. 8A is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for estimating the number of passing people, and FIG. 8B is a diagram illustrating time-series changes in the traveling direction. The horizontal axes in FIGS. 7A, 7B, 8A, and 8B indicate time t (i). The vertical axis in FIG. 7A indicates the loaded weight W (i) measured at time t (i). The variable i is a sampling number of the weight sensor 25 and is a natural number. t (i) −t (i−1) is the sampling period of the weight sensor 25. In the flowchart shown in FIG. 6, when a measurement result is given from the photoelectric sensor 26, this process is started, and the process proceeds to step b1.

  In step b1, the passing number estimating means 11a estimates the number of persons who have passed through the door 10. When the user passes through the door 10, the number of times the photoelectric sensor 26 senses the passage is defined as the number of passing people. If one sensing time is short, it may be determined that it is noise and a restriction based on sensing time may be provided so that the number of passing people is not counted. The method in which the passing number estimating means 11a estimates the passing number by the method as described above is hereinafter referred to as a “first passing number estimating method”. When the number of passing people is estimated in step b1, the process proceeds to step b2. In the case of the “first passing person estimation method”, the photoelectric sensor 26 may have only one pair of light receiving and emitting terminals.

  In step b2, the traveling direction estimation means 11b estimates the traveling direction of the user. Here, paying attention to a predetermined period [t (i), t (ix)] (x is a variable, a natural number) in the graph shown in FIG. 7, the traveling direction estimation means 11b uses W (i) − When W (i−x) <Y1 is satisfied, it is estimated that the predetermined period [t (i), t (i−x)] is getting off from the car body 9. Y1 is a predetermined threshold value. Further, when the traveling direction estimation means 11b satisfies W (i) -W (ix)> Y2, the car body 9 is being boarded for a predetermined period [t (i), t (ix)]. Estimated. The Y2 is a threshold that is predetermined and different from the Y1. The x, Y1, and Y2 are assumed to be held in advance by the traveling direction estimation unit 11b. The method in which the traveling direction estimation unit 11b estimates the traveling direction by the method as described above is hereinafter referred to as a “first traveling direction estimation method”. When the traveling direction is estimated in step b2, the process proceeds to step b3.

  In step b3, the traveling direction estimation means 11b matches the passing number result and the traveling direction result, in other words, matches and outputs the number of passengers on the car body 9 and the number of persons getting off from the car body 9.

  Next, a method of matching the passing number result and the traveling direction result by the traveling direction estimation unit 11b in step b3 will be described. As shown in FIG. 8, the traveling direction estimation means 11 b is assumed that the number of passing people is estimated to be one during the period [t (i), t (ix)] that is estimated to be getting off, The number of people getting off during the period is output as one. However, the photoelectric sensor 26 for estimating the number of people passing through and the weight sensor 25 for estimating the traveling direction are different in sensor series, so that a time difference occurs between the time series data of each other, and it is estimated that the vehicle is getting off. [t (i), t (i−x)] is not necessarily estimated to have one passing person.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8B, when the traveling direction of the output time of the passing number is unknown (hereinafter referred to as “not”), the output time of the passing number is set to ± Z (Z is By shifting within the range of (natural number), it is determined whether the traveling direction result matches the direction of getting on the car body 9 (hereinafter referred to as “ride”) or the direction of getting off from the car body 9 (hereinafter referred to as “falling”). Explore. As a result of the search, if it coincides with “Descent”, the number of people getting off is output as one.

  Even if the output time of the passing number of people is shifted within the range of ± Z, if the traveling direction result does not coincide with “power” or “descending”, according to the rules held in advance in the traveling direction estimation means 11b, The number of passengers is output as N (N is a natural number), and the number of passengers is output as M (M is a natural number).

  In the present embodiment, in FIG. 8, when the traveling direction of the output time of the passing number is “not”, the example of shifting the output time of the passing number within the range of ± Z has been described. The same effect can be obtained by shifting the period [t (i), t (i−x)] within a range of ± Z. The variable Z is assumed to be held by the traveling direction estimation unit 11b.

  In step b1, the passing number estimating means 11a may estimate the passing number by a second passing number estimating method different from the first passing number estimating method. FIG. 9 is a view showing a plurality of photoelectric sensors 26 arranged in the vicinity of the door 10. FIG. 10 is a diagram for explaining the second passing person estimation method. FIG. 10A is a graph showing a time-series change in the sensing position of the photoelectric sensor 26, and FIG. 10B is a graph showing a time-series change in the cumulative number of sensing results of the photoelectric sensor 26. The horizontal axis of Fig.10 (a) and FIG.10 (b) has shown time. The vertical axis in FIG. 10A indicates the installation position of the photoelectric sensor 26, and the vertical axis in FIG. 10B indicates the cumulative number of sensing results of the photoelectric sensor 26. In FIG. 10, the positions detected by the photoelectric sensor 26 are indicated by black dots.

  When a person passes through the door 10, for example, a sensing result as shown in FIG. Here, a predetermined range P is provided at the installation position of the photoelectric sensor 26. In this predetermined range P, a case where N1 (N1 is a natural number) or more photoelectric sensors 26 continuously sense M1 (M1 is a natural number) times is defined as a passage start condition S1. In addition, in the predetermined range P, a case where N2 (N2 is a natural number) or more photoelectric sensors 26 are not continuously detected M2 (M2 is a natural number) times is defined as a passage end condition E1. It is determined that the user has passed between the passage start condition S1 and the passage end condition E1 being satisfied, and the number of people passing is estimated as one.

  Further, a predetermined range Q is also provided for the accumulated number of sensing results obtained by accumulating the number of sensing of the photoelectric sensor 26 illustrated in FIG. In this predetermined range Q, a case where N3 (N3 is a natural number) or more photoelectric sensors 26 continuously sense M3 (M3 is a natural number) times is defined as a passage start condition S2. Further, in a predetermined range Q, a case where N4 (N4 is a natural number) or more sensors are not continuously detected M4 (M4 is a natural number) times is defined as a passage end condition E2. It is determined that the user has passed between the passage start condition S2 and the passage end condition E2 being satisfied, and the number of people passing is estimated as one.

  Either one of the two passage start conditions S1, S2 may be applied, or both may be applied. Further, either one of the two passage end conditions E1 and E2 may be applied, or both may be applied. It is assumed that P, Q, Nn (n is a natural number) and Mn (n is a natural number) are held by the passing number estimating means 112.

  In step b2, the traveling direction estimation unit 11b may estimate the traveling direction by a second traveling direction estimation method different from the first traveling direction estimation method. FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining the second traveling direction estimation method. FIG. 11A is a graph showing a time-series change in the load weight of the car 8 measured by the weight sensor 25, and FIG. 11B is a time calculated from the time-series change in the load weight of the car 8. It is a graph which shows the time series change of difference data. The horizontal axis of Fig.11 (a) and FIG.11 (b) has shown time t (i). The vertical axis in FIG. 11 (a) indicates the load weight W (i) of the car 8, and the vertical axis in FIG. 11 (b) indicates the time difference data W_diff (i).

  The traveling direction estimation means 11b calculates time difference data W_diff (i) from the loaded weight W (i) given from the weight sensor 25 using the following equation (3).

      W_diff (i) = (W (i) −W (i−Δi)) / (Δi) (3)

  In equation (3), Δi represents the difference interval. The time difference data W_diff (i) shown in FIG. 11B shows a negative value when the load weight of the car 8 decreases, and shows a positive value when the load weight of the car 8 increases. If there is no change, there is a characteristic showing a zero value. Therefore, it is estimated that the period [t (i), t (i−x)] from when the time difference data W_diff (i) shows a negative value until it again shows a zero value is getting off. In addition, it is estimated that a period from when the time difference data W_diff (i) shows a positive value until it shows a zero value again is during boarding.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, if the verification database 15 includes the information on the destination floor of the authentication information holder, or the hall authentication information obtained from the hall authentication means 3 includes the destination floor. In step a4 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, the matching unit 14 can register the destination floor in the operation control unit 16 simultaneously with the hall call registration. As a result, the elevator user does not need to press the destination floor button in the car 8, and the operability can be improved.

  However, if the user who registered the hall call in the driving control means 16 through the hall authentication means 3 does not get on the car body 9 for some reason, the verification means 14 also registers the destination floor in the driving control means 16. As a result, the elevator car 8 moves to the destination floor without anybody getting on the car body 9, and the vehicle is wasted. Therefore, the waiting time of other users is deteriorated, or the operation is not preferable from the viewpoint of energy saving.

Therefore, if it contains destination floor in the verification database 15 to landing authentication information obtained from it contains the destination floor information or landing authentication unit 3, the actual ride vehicle in step a 9 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 After it is estimated that there is a person who has got on the car body 9 by the estimation of the number of people, the matching unit 14 may register the destination floor in the operation control unit 16. This prevents the elevator car 8 from moving unnecessarily, and eliminates the need for the user to press the destination floor button in the car 8, thereby improving operability.

  Moreover, the hall authentication means 3 in step a1 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 3 can also adopt a method of collecting hall authentication information even if the elevator user does not perform a specific authentication operation. For example, even if the elevator user does not bring his face close to the camera, the camera is a user imaging device that captures a wide range of the hall. The hall authentication information can be collected by comparing the face image and performing face authentication. Further, the hall authentication information can be collected without taking out the IC tag from a pocket or a bag by a reader capable of reading the IC tag even at a long distance. This eliminates the need for an elevator user to perform an authentication operation, thereby further improving operability. Furthermore, the accompanying state is detected, and crime prevention can be ensured.

In step a 10 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, comparing means 13 obtains a boarding number from positive Occupancy counting means 12 acquires the actual number of passengers from the actual passenger number estimating means 11, and the prediction boarding persons Although it is configured to compare the actual number of passengers, the same effect can be obtained even if the comparison target is the number of passengers in the car. For example, persons actually are within the car 8 (hereinafter referred to as "real-car number") from the actual number of passengers and the actual dismount number of persons determined by the actual passenger number estimating means 11 in step a 9, indirectly following It is calculated | required using Formula (4).

      Number of people in the actual car = Number of people in the previous car + Actual number of passengers-Actual number of people getting off (4)

Further, originally, persons should have in cage 8 (hereinafter referred to as "in-car scheduled number") is the actual dismount number of persons determined by the actual passenger number estimating means 11 in step a 9, positive Occupancy counting means in Step a 6 It is calculated | required indirectly using the following formula | equation (5) from the boarding number of persons calculated | required by 12. FIG.

      Expected number of people in the car = previous number of people in the actual car + number of people scheduled to get on board-actual number of people getting off… (5)

In step a 10, comparator 13, and a real-car number is compared with the in-car scheduled number, specifically determine the actual in-car number is, whether more than the car in planned number and, if the actual in-car number exceeds-car schedule number, the information indicating that tailgating is occurring in step a 11 may be notified to the elevator user.

In step a 7 of the flow chart shown in Figure 3, the door control unit 17, the user by controlling to open the door 10 in the width can only be passed one by one, the actual passenger in step a 9 persons estimator 11 Can detect the number of people with higher accuracy. FIG. 12 is a view showing how the door 10 of the car 8 is opened by the door control means 17. FIG. 13 is a diagram illustrating how the door 10 of the car 8 is opened by the door control means 17 when the shielding object 10c appears.

In step a 7 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, the door control unit 17, when opening the door 10 of the car 8, as shown in FIG. 12, the door 10 only up to a width Wn the user can only pass one by one The opening of the door 10 is controlled so as not to open. Further, the door 10 is provided with a pair of shields 10c for allowing only one user to pass by one person. When the door 10 is opened by the door control means 17, as shown in FIG. A pair of shields 10c may appear with a width Wn that allows only one person to pass through. It is assumed that the data of the width Wn through which only one user can pass is held in advance by the door control means 17. Such a control method of the door 10 is hereinafter referred to as a “first door control method”.

The door control means 17 may control the opening method of the door 10 by a second door control method different from the first door control method described above. That is, in step a 7 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, the door control unit 17, when opening the door 10 of the car 8, as shown in FIG. 12, the width of the opening of the door 10, the user 1 person Control is performed so that the door 10 is opened at a first speed determined in advance until the width Wn that can pass only one by one, and then the door 10 is opened at a second speed lower than the first speed until the door 10 is fully opened.

In step a 7 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, the door control unit 17, when opening the door 10 of the car 8, as shown in FIG. 13, a pair as the user becomes the width can only be passed by one person The shield 10c may appear at a predetermined first speed, and thereafter, the pair of shields 10c may be retracted at a second speed that is slower than the first speed. It is assumed that the first speed and the second speed are held in advance by the door control means 17.

The door control means 17 may control the opening method of the door 10 by a third door control method different from the first and second door control methods described above. That is, open in step a 7 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, the door control unit 17, when opening the door 10 of the car 8, as shown in FIG. 12, to a width Wn the user can only pass one by one, The opening method of the door 10 is controlled so that the door 10 is fully opened after the elapse of a predetermined time. Or, in step a 7 in FIG. 3, the door control unit 17, when opening the door 10 of the car 8, as shown in FIG. 13, the user pair of shielding so that the width can only be passed by one person The opening of the door 10 may be controlled so that the object 10c appears and the pair of shielding objects 10c are retracted after a predetermined time has elapsed.

  If the door 10 is opened only to a width Wn that allows only one user to pass through, a person who cannot pass through the door 10 due to a large load or the like may be used for the second and third described above. In the door control method, the door 10 can be passed after a predetermined time has elapsed.

Further may be provided a door opening registration means in the vicinity of the door 10, in step a 7 in FIG. 3, when the door control unit 17 is controlling the door 10 by the second or third door control method described above, When the user operates the door opening registration means, the door control means 17 may control the door 10 so that the door 10 opens to the fully open state immediately, or control to retract the shielding object 10c immediately. May be. Here, the “door opening registration means” is, for example, a button for opening the door 10 of the elevator. By adopting such a control method, the user can pass through the door 10 without waiting until the door 10 is fully opened.

Further may be provided a door close button in the vicinity of the door 10, in step a 7 in FIG. 3, when the door control unit 17 is controlling the door 10 by the second or third door control method described above, use When a person operates the door close button, the door control means 17 may control the door 10 so that the door 10 is reversed and closed, or may control the door 10 to appear so that it cannot pass through. Good. Accordingly, the door 10 can be immediately closed because the outside air is cold, or the outside air can be immediately blocked by the shielding object 10c. In addition, the elevator car 8 can be quickly started by closing the door 10 immediately.

  The hall authentication means 3 does not necessarily have to be installed in the elevator hall. For example, it may be installed at the entrance of a building, or may be realized by a security gate installed at an entrance of an elevator hall or the like. Even in these cases, it is possible to obtain the same effect as when installed in an elevator hall.

  In the present embodiment, the door 10 includes two door portions, that is, a first door portion 10a and a second door portion 10b. The first and second door portions 10a and 10b are illustrated in FIG. It is assumed that the door 10 opens by moving from the door center to both ends in the opening / closing direction X. However, the present invention is not limited to such a door. For example, the door 10 may be configured by a single door portion, and the single door portion may be moved from one end portion of the doorway to the other end portion to open the door 10.

  Further, the two door portions, that is, the first and second door portions 10a and 10b do not necessarily have to be constituted by one rectangular plate member. For example, each of the first and second door portions 10a and 10b is formed in multiple stages by two or more rectangular plate-like members, and the first door portion 10a and the second door portion 10b are in the center of the door. When moving from the section to each end, the door 10 may be opened so that the plurality of rectangular plate-shaped members overlap while moving. Similarly, when the door 10 is configured by a single door portion, the single door portion does not necessarily have to be configured by a single rectangular plate-like member, for example, two or more multiple sheets It is configured in multiple stages by rectangular plate members, and when one door part moves from one end to the other end, the door 10 is opened so that the plurality of rectangular plate members overlap and move. May be.

  In the present embodiment, the weight sensor 25 is provided above the car 8 in the vertical direction, but is not limited to such a weight sensor. Since the measurement result of the weight sensor 25 is used for detecting an object on board such as the number of passengers and the number of persons getting off, it is only necessary to measure the weight of the object on the car 8. Therefore, the weight sensor 25 may be provided on the bottom side of the car 8. By providing the weight sensor 25 at the bottom of the car 8, the weight of the object on the car 8 can be directly measured. When the weight sensor 25 is provided vertically above the car 8 as in the present embodiment, the weight of the car 8 itself and the weight of the car 8 are included in the measured amount of the weight sensor 25 in addition to the weight of the object on the car 8. However, if the weight of the car 8 and the rope is subtracted, a measurement result equivalent to the case where the weight sensor 25 is provided on the bottom side of the car 8 can be obtained.

  Further, in the present embodiment, FIG. 9 shows a plurality of photoelectric sensors 26 arranged in the vicinity of the door 10, but FIG. 9 is a diagram schematically shown in order to simplify the explanation. The photoelectric sensor 26 may be installed on either the landing side or the car 8 side. The photoelectric sensor 26 is not necessarily installed at a position where it can be visually observed. For example, the elevator door 10 is generally composed of a landing-side door and a car 8 side door. In this case, the photoelectric sensor 26 is connected to the landing side door and the car 8 side door. It may be installed in between. The photoelectric sensors 26 do not necessarily have to be installed one by one at each landing. The photoelectric sensors 26 are attached to the doors on the car 8 side, and the photoelectric sensors 26 are moved along with the movement of the car 8 so that measurement can be performed on each floor. Good.

  The photoelectric sensor 26 is generally composed of a light emitting terminal and a light receiving terminal, but the light emitting and light receiving terminals do not necessarily correspond one-to-one. By emitting the beam at a wide angle on the light emitting side, it is possible to measure a plurality of measurement results with one light emitting terminal and a plurality of light receiving terminals. Even if such a photoelectric sensor 26 is used, the present invention can be used. It is possible to implement.

  In the present embodiment, a pair of shields 10c are made to appear in FIG. 13, but they are not necessarily a pair. The shielding object 10c may appear only from one side so that the width is such that only one person can pass through the door 10 at a time.

  Although not shown, the authentication information registration means may be provided in the elevator control device main body 1 or provided in the elevator control device 100 and electrically connected to the elevator control device main body 1. The authentication information registration means is to additionally register authentication information of a new certifier in the collation database 15, delete unnecessary authentication information from the collation database 15, or change authentication information registered in the collation database 15. It is a means to do. The authentication information registration means can be operated by an administrator of the elevator control device 100 or the elevator control device main body 1 or a person entrusted by the administrator.

  In this embodiment, an elevator is described as an example. However, in a closed space where an entrance is secured, a weight sensor that can measure the load weight of the closed space, and a photoelectric sensor that senses the closed space and the entrance of the closed space. By configuring the camera that captures the closed space and the entrance of the closed space as a measuring means, it is possible to detect the accompanying to the closed space by the method of the above-described embodiment.

<Second Embodiment>
Next, an elevator control apparatus 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first embodiment described above, co-existence is detected and crime prevention is improved, but a person who has been authenticated at the landing does not get on the elevator car main body 9 for some reason, instead. When a non-authenticated person gets on the elevator car body 9, there is a so-called impersonation problem that the expected number of passengers matches the actual number of passengers and the non-certified person can use the elevator. In the present embodiment, a method for improving the convenience of a legitimate user after preventing spoofing and improving the crime prevention property will be described.

  FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the elevator control apparatus 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. The elevator control device 200 includes an elevator control device main body 1, a measurement unit 2, a hall authentication unit 3, a notification unit 4, a cancellation unit 5, and an in-car authentication unit 6. Since the elevator control device 200 according to the present embodiment is similar in configuration to the elevator control device 100 according to the first embodiment described above, only different parts will be described, and the same reference will be made to corresponding portions. The reference numerals are used to omit the description common to the first embodiment.

  The in-car authentication means 6 includes an in-car IC tag reader 61, an in-car biometric authentication device 62, an in-car physical key 63, and an in-car ten key 64. The in-car authentication means 6 is operated by the elevator user when inputting authentication information in the elevator car 8. The in-car IC tag reader 61 reads a user-specific IC tag. The in-car biometric authentication device 62 reads biometric information unique to the living body such as fingerprints, irises, palm veins, finger veins, and facial images. The in-car physical key 63 is a keyhole configured to be unlockable by inserting a predetermined physical key into the keyhole. The in-car numeric keypad 64 is used when inputting a predetermined password.

  Further, the collation means 14 of the present embodiment collates the hall authentication information given from the hall authentication means 3 with the holding authentication information held in the collation database 15 and uses the hall authentication means 3 to check the hall authentication information. It is determined whether or not the user who has entered is a person who has been previously authenticated for use of the elevator, and the in-car authentication information given from the in-car authentication means 6 and the holding held in the verification database 15 It is determined whether or not the user who has entered the in-car authentication information by using the in-car authentication means 6 is a person who has been authenticated in advance for use of the elevator by comparing with the authentication information.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the operation of the elevator control device main body 1 in the elevator control device 200 according to the second embodiment of the present invention. When the hall authentication means 3 is operated by the elevator user and the hall authentication information for using the elevator is input, this process starts, and the process proceeds to step c1. The processing in steps c1 to c5 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 15 is the same as the processing in steps a1 to a5 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 3, and the processing in steps c6 to c8 in FIG. Step a7 to step a9 in FIG. 15 and the processing in step c13 to step c18 in FIG. 15 are the same as the processing in step a10 to step a15 in FIG. Explanation of each process in step c18 is omitted.

  In step c5, when the elevator is already called, the process proceeds to step c6. After the process of step c8, the process proceeds to step c9. In step c9, the control device main body 1 collects the in-car authentication information given from the in-car authentication means 6, and proceeds to step c10. In step c10, the collation means 14 collates the in-car authentication information given from the in-car authentication means 6 with the held authentication information held in advance in the collation database 15, and proceeds to step c11.

  In step c11, the collation unit 14 determines whether or not the in-car authentication information and the retained authentication information match, and if they match, the in-car authentication information is input using the in-car authentication unit 6. The user determines that the use of the elevator has been authenticated in advance, in other words, the use of the elevator is possible, and proceeds to step c12. In step c11, if the in-car authentication information does not match the retained authentication information, the process proceeds to step c13. Thus, if the in-car authentication information does not match the retained authentication information, it will not be counted as the expected number of passengers by the process in step c12 described later, so that it will be in the state where the accompanying passenger is detected and the process will move to step c14. Crime prevention is maintained.

  In step c12, the regular user number counting means 12 sums up the number of persons judged to be authenticated by the verification means 14 based on the authentication information from the car authentication means 6, Count the number of people who will board the car body 9 on the floor. It is assumed that the initial value of the number of people scheduled to board the car body 9 on the floor is zero and is held in advance in the regular user counting means 12. When the planned number of passengers is counted in step c12, the process proceeds to step c13.

  In this embodiment, each of the cancel IC tag reader 51, the cancel biometric authentication device 53, the cancel physical key 54, and the cancel ten key 55 constituting the cancel means 5 is the car constituting the in-car authentication means 6. The internal IC tag reader 61, the in-car biometric authentication device 62, the in-car physical key 63, and the in-car ten key 64 may be the same. However, when each device constituting the canceling means 5 and each device constituting the car authentication means 6 are the same, the canceling process in step c15 after detecting the companion by the comparing means 13, and the car in step c9 It is necessary to make a distinction from the collection processing of internal authentication information. When the comparison process by the comparison unit 13 in step c13 determines that the accompanying state is present, if the in-car authentication information already verified in step c10 is input from the in-car authentication unit 6 during the accompanying state, It is considered as a cancel action. For example, even if it is in the accompanying state, if the in-car authentication information that has not been collated in step c10 is input from the in-car authentication means 6, it is considered that the in-car authentication information is collected in step c9.

  In step c9, the car authentication means 6 can also take a method of collecting car authentication information even if the user does not perform a specific authentication operation. For example, with a camera that is shooting inside the elevator car 8, the face image of each individual held in advance is compared with the face image acquired by shooting with the camera, even if the user does not bring the face close to the camera. Then, the authentication information in the car can be collected without taking out the IC tag from the pocket or the bag by the face authentication or the reader capable of reading the IC tag even at a long distance. As a result, the user does not need to perform an authentication operation, and the operability can be further improved. In addition, accompanying persons can be detected, and crime prevention can be ensured.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, by authenticating in the car, it is possible to prevent spoofing, detect the accompanying person, and further improve the crime prevention.

<Third Embodiment>
Next, an elevator control apparatus 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first and second embodiments described above, a non-authenticated person is detected and crime prevention is improved, but no direct measures are taken against the non-authenticated person. In the present embodiment, a method for issuing an external notification when an unauthenticated person is detected will be described. Further, there is a problem that if the suspicious degree of the non-authenticated person is not high, if the reporting is continued to the outside easily, the reporting itself will be lost. Therefore, in the present embodiment, a method for determining whether or not to issue a report according to the suspicious degree of the unauthenticated person will be described.

  FIG. 16 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the elevator control apparatus 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. The elevator control device 300 includes an elevator control device main body 1A, a measurement unit 2, a hall authentication unit 3, a notification unit 4, a cancel unit 5, and an in-car authentication unit 6. Since the elevator control device 300 according to the present embodiment is similar in configuration to the elevator control device 200 according to the second embodiment described above, only different parts will be described, and the same reference will be made to corresponding portions. The reference numerals are used to omit the description common to the second embodiment.

  The control device main body 1A includes an actual boarding / alighting number estimating means 11, a regular user counting means 12, a comparing means 13, a checking means 14, a checking database 15, an operation control means 16, a door control means 17, and a user presence / absence estimating means 18. The above-described control device main body 1 is further provided with a notification means 19 and a suspiciousness estimation means 20. The actual boarding / alighting person estimation means 11, the regular user counting means 12, the comparison means 13, the collation means 14, the collation database 15, the operation control means 16, the door control means 17, the user presence / absence estimation means 18, which constitute the control device main body 1A, The reporting unit 19 and the suspicious degree estimating unit 20 are electrically connected to each other.

  The control device main body 1A is realized by a microcomputer, and the actual boarding / alighting person estimation means 11, the regular user number counting means 12, the comparison means 13, the collation means 14, the collation database 15, and the operation control means 16 constituting the control device main body 1A. The door control means 17, the user presence / absence estimation means 18, the reporting means 19 and the suspiciousness degree estimation means 20 are constituted by software on a microcomputer.

  The reporting unit 19 issues a report to the outside when it detects a companion. The suspicious degree estimation means 20 estimates the suspicious degree of the elevator user. The suspicious degree represents the degree of suspiciousness.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the operation of the elevator control device main body 1A in the elevator control device 300 according to the third embodiment of the present invention. When the hall authentication means 3 is operated by the elevator user and the hall authentication information for using the elevator is input, this process starts, and the process proceeds to step d1. The processing in steps d1 to d14 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 17 is the same as the processing in steps c1 to c14 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, and the processing in steps d16 to d18 in FIG. Step c15 to step c17 are the same as those in step c15 to step c17, and the description of each step d1 to step d14 and steps d16 to d18 is omitted.

  After the process of step d14, the process proceeds to step d15. In step d15, the reporting means 19 detects the accompanying person and reports to the outside reporting destination that the non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8, at least in the building. The report destinations include building residents, building security managers, building owners, elevators and building maintenance companies, security companies, and police. Notification delivery methods include voice delivery to mobile and fixed phones, text delivery such as FAX, personal computer mail, and mobile phone mail, and other text, voice, and data delivery using the Internet and dedicated communication lines. And any delivery method may be used. The reporting means 19 receives an image in the car 8 where the accompanying person is generated from the in-car camera 27 of the measuring means 2 when reporting that the non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8 to the outside. Then, the received image may be transmitted to the report destination. When the reporting means 19 reports to an external reporting destination, the process proceeds to step d16.

  It is assumed that data such as an address and a telephone number for specifying a notification destination is held in advance in the elevator control device main body 1 or in the elevator control device 100, and is held in the elevator control device 100. If it is, it is held by means that is electrically connected to the elevator control apparatus main body 1. In addition, data for specifying a report destination can be added, deleted, and changed by the authentication information registration unit.

  When a predetermined time elapses in step d18, the process proceeds to step d19. In step d19, the reporting means 19 detects the accompanying person and reports to the outside notification destination that the non-authenticated person is in the elevator car 8, at least in the building. When the reporting unit 19 reports to an external reporting destination, the process proceeds to step d20. In step d20, the door control means 17 closes the door 10 and ends all processing procedures.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 17 described above, as a condition for the reporting means 19 to report to an external reporting destination, it is assumed that a non-authenticated person is in the elevator car body 9. Other conditions may be added. For example, by analyzing an image taken by the car camera 27, a technique for detecting a person who is rampant in the elevator car 8 or a person who stays in the elevator car 8 unnaturally for a long time has been developed. Yes. Therefore, in the present embodiment, when it is detected that a non-authenticated person is in the elevator car body 9 and a person who is rampant in the elevator car 8 is detected by the image analysis as described above, The reporting unit 19 may report to an external report destination.

  Further, the processing procedure of the reporting process by the reporting unit 19 is not limited to step d15 and step d19. For example, only one of them may be performed without performing both the reporting process in step d15 and the reporting process in step d19.

  Further, in the reporting process at step d15 and the reporting process at step d19, the suspicious degree of the non-authenticated person may be used as a condition for selecting whether or not to report and the report destination. As described above, the suspicious degree estimation means 20 estimates the suspicious degree.

  Next, a method for estimating the suspicious degree by the suspicious degree estimating means 20 will be described. During step d13 to step d20, the suspicious degree estimation means 20 estimates the suspicious degree of the unauthenticated person from the situation. The suspicious degree estimation means 20 estimates that the suspicious degree is “low” because the non-authenticated person may be a family member, relative, friend, lover or the like of the certifier, for example, immediately after the notification process in step d14. To do. In addition, the suspicious degree estimation means 20 may receive a cancel signal in step d16 even if a predetermined time has passed even though a non-authenticated person has been detected, and the user will not be lost in step d17. Estimate the suspicious degree as “medium”. Further, the suspicious degree estimation means 20 estimates that the suspicious degree is “high” when the state of boarding the non-authenticated person is not canceled and the time is unavoidably timed up in step d18 even though the non-authenticated person is detected. To do. The method of estimating the suspicious degree by the method as described above is hereinafter referred to as “first suspicious degree estimating method”.

  In response to the estimation result of the suspicious degree estimated by the suspicious degree estimating means 20 as described above, for example, a non-authenticated person is detected immediately after the notification process in step d14. The degree is “low”. Therefore, for example, the reporting means 19 detects a non-authenticated person but does not report to an external reporting destination. Thereafter, when a predetermined time elapses, the suspicious degree becomes “medium”, so that the reporting means 19 is a reporting destination such as a resident of a building, a crime prevention manager of a building, a building owner, an elevator or a building maintenance company. To report. Further, when the suspicious degree becomes “high”, the reporting unit 19 reports to a reporting destination such as a security company or the police.

  The suspicious degree estimating means 20 may estimate the suspicious degree by a second suspicious degree estimating method different from the first suspicious degree estimating method. In the first suspicious degree estimation method, the suspicious degree is shown in three stages of “low”, “medium”, and “high”, but is not necessarily limited to three stages. For example, the suspicious degree may be a numerical value given by the following equation (6) that monotonously increases with respect to the elapsed time since the non-authenticated person was detected.

      Suspiciousness = Elapsed time after detection of non-authenticated person (sec) x coefficient (6)

  It is assumed that the coefficient is held in advance by the suspiciousness degree estimation unit 20. When the suspicious degree is given as a numerical value, the reporting means 19 may compare the numerical value of the suspicious degree with a threshold value, and determine the right or wrong of the reporting and the reporting destination from this comparison result. It is assumed that the threshold value is held in advance in the reporting unit 19.

  In the present embodiment, the car authentication means 6 is not necessarily required. In this case, the processing of step d1 to step d12 replaces the processing of step a1 to step a9 of FIG. 3 in the first embodiment described above.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, when a companion is detected, a measure is taken against a non-authenticated person who has entered the building by reporting to an external report destination. The crime prevention property can be further improved.

  Moreover, even if a report destination is changed or a non-authenticated person is detected according to the degree of suspiciousness, it is possible to prevent the report from becoming a skeleton by not issuing a report.

<Fourth embodiment>
Next, an elevator control apparatus 400 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first to third embodiments described above, the accompanying person is detected and the crime prevention property is improved, but the non-authenticated person detected as the accompanying person is a person who should not be in the building originally. It is likely and can cause problems in the building. When a problem occurs, it is necessary to identify the non-authenticated person later. At that time, the image taken by the in-car camera 27 installed in the elevator car 8 is used to identify the non-authenticated person. It becomes important data. When recording images at a high density, the size of the recorded image data increases and a large amount of limited storage capacity is used. Start and end conditions are required. In the present embodiment, a method for recording an image taken by the in-car camera 27 at a high density when the sharing is detected will be described.

  FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of an elevator control device 400 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. The elevator control device 400 includes an elevator control device main body 1B, a measurement unit 2, a hall authentication unit 3, a notification unit 4, a cancellation unit 5, and an in-car authentication unit 6. Since the elevator control device 400 of the present embodiment is similar in configuration to the elevator control device 300 of the third embodiment described above, only the parts that differ in configuration will be described, and the same reference will be made to the corresponding parts. The reference numerals are used to omit the description common to the third embodiment.

  The control device main body 1B includes an actual boarding / alighting number estimating means 11, a regular user counting means 12, a comparing means 13, a checking means 14, a checking database 15, an operation control means 16, a door control means 17, a user presence / absence estimating means 18, The control device main body 1A including the reporting means 19 and the suspiciousness degree estimation means 20 is further provided with an image recorder 21 and a high-density recording means 22. The actual boarding / alighting person estimation means 11, the regular user counting means 12, the comparison means 13, the collation means 14, the collation database 15, the operation control means 16, the door control means 17, the user presence / absence estimation means 18, which constitute the control device main body 1B, The reporting unit 19, the suspicious degree estimating unit 20, the image recorder 21 and the high density recording unit 22 are electrically connected to each other.

  The control device main body 1B is realized by a microcomputer, and the actual boarding / alighting person estimation means 11, the regular user counting means 12, the comparison means 13, the collation means 14, the collation database 15, and the operation control means 16 constituting the control device main body 1B. The door control means 17, the user presence / absence estimation means 18, the reporting means 19, the suspiciousness degree estimation means 20, the image recorder 21 and the high density recording means 22 are constituted by software on a microcomputer.

  The high-density recording means 22 records the image photographed by the car camera 27 on the image recorder 21 at a high density when detecting the accompanying.

  FIG. 19 is a flowchart illustrating a processing procedure of the operation of the elevator control device main body 1B in the elevator control device 400 according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. When the hall authentication means 3 is operated by the elevator user and the hall authentication information for using the elevator is input, this process starts, and the process proceeds to step e1. The process of step e1 to step e15 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 19 is the same as the process of step d1 to step d15 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 17, and the process of step e17 to step e21 of FIG. Since the process is the same as the process from step d16 to step d20, description of each process from step e1 to step e15 and from step e17 to step e21 is omitted.

  After the process of step e15, the process proceeds to step e16. In step e16, the high-density recording means 22 receives the detection of the companion, and the image captured by the in-car camera 27 is displayed in the image recorder 21 at a higher density than when the companion is not detected. Start the high-density recording process to record. The end condition of the high-density recording by the high-density recording means 22 may be defined by the elapsed time during the high-density recording, or may be until it stops at another floor. It may be until it is determined that there is no user.

  The processing procedure of the high-density recording process by the high-density recording means 22 is not limited to step e16 in FIG. In the high-density recording process in step e16, the suspicious degree of the non-authenticated person may be used as the right or wrong of high-density recording and the recording start condition. As described above, the suspicious degree estimation means 20 estimates the suspicious degree. Since the suspiciousness degree estimation method by the suspiciousness degree estimation means 20 is the same as the method of the third embodiment described above, a detailed description regarding the suspiciousness degree estimation method is omitted.

  In the present embodiment, when a non-authenticated person is detected and the suspicious degree of the non-authenticated person is “medium” or higher, the high-density recording unit 22 starts high-density recording on the image recorder 21. Alternatively, when the suspicious degree is equal to or higher than a predetermined threshold, the high-density recording unit 22 starts high-density recording on the image recorder 21. It is assumed that the threshold value is held in advance in the high-density recording unit 22.

  In the present embodiment, the car authentication means 6 is not necessarily required. In this case, the processing of step e1 to step e12 of FIG. 19 is replaced with the processing of step a1 to step a8 of FIG. 3 in the first embodiment described above. Further, the reporting means 19 is not necessarily required. In this case, the processing of step e15 and step e20 in FIG. 19 is not necessary.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, an image captured by the in-car camera 27 installed in the elevator car 8 is detected on the image recorder 21 by the high-density recording means 22 when the accompanying is detected. Since recording is performed with high density, it becomes easy to identify non-authenticated persons, and the crime prevention property of the building can be further improved.

  Further, when the control device main body 1B is configured to include the user presence / absence estimating means 18, one of the conditions for ending high-density recording by the high-density recording means 22 is that there is no user in the elevator car 8. The storage area of the image recorder 21 can be used efficiently.

  In addition, when a non-authenticated person is detected, the storage capacity of the image recorder 21 can be used efficiently by making the suspicious degree one of the conditions for starting high-density recording. .

<Fifth embodiment>
Next, an elevator control apparatus 500 according to a fifth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In the first to fourth embodiments described above, on the premise that the hall authentication means 3 installed at the hall is used, the accompanying person is detected and the crime prevention property is improved. However, the hall authentication means 3 is used. If it is attempted to detect sharing with each floor on the premise of this, the hall authentication means 3 must be installed at the hall on each floor, which is costly. In addition, the authenticator may forget the authentication operation and get on, but in the elevator control device that detects the non-authenticated person, the authenticator who forgot the authentication operation is treated as a non-authenticated person. At this time, if the hall authentication means 3 is only at the hall, the authenticator who forgets the authentication operation and gets on the car body 9 must get off the vehicle, perform the authentication operation, and then get on again. In the present embodiment, a method will be described in which in-car authentication means 6 is installed only in the elevator car 8 and non-authenticated persons are detected on all floors.

  FIG. 20 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of an elevator control device 500 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. The elevator control device 500 includes an elevator control device main body 1, a measurement unit 2, a notification unit 4, a cancellation unit 5, and an in-car authentication unit 6. Since the elevator control device 500 according to the present embodiment is similar in configuration to the elevator control devices 100 and 200 according to the first and second embodiments described above, only different parts will be described, and corresponding portions will be described. Are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description common to the first and second embodiments is omitted.

  FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of the operation of the elevator control device main body 1 in the elevator control device 500 according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention. When the hall call button is operated by the elevator user, this process is started, and the process proceeds to step f1. Since the processing of step f1 to step f14 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 21 is the same as the processing of step c4 and step c6 to step c18 of the flowchart shown in FIG. 15, each processing of step f1 to step f14 will be described. Omitted.

  In the flowchart shown in FIG. 21, after the non-authenticated person is detected in step f9, the processing from step f10 to step f14 is performed. However, as in the third embodiment, the reporting unit 19 is used together. Thus, the processing from step d14 to step d20 in FIG. 17 can also be performed. Further, as in the above-described fourth embodiment, it is also possible to perform the processing from step e14 to step e21 in FIG. 19 by using the high-density recording means 22 and the image recorder 21 together.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, it is possible to detect sharing with a plurality of floors at a lower cost than when using the hall authentication means 3 for the hall, to prevent spoofing, and to improve crime prevention. .

  Further, when the non-authenticated person is detected by providing the in-car authentication means 6 in the elevator car 8 as the authenticating means, the authenticator performs the authentication operation as in the case where only the hall authentication means 3 is provided. Forgetting that, when getting on the car body 9 of the elevator, it is possible to prevent a problem that the user has to get off the vehicle and perform the authentication operation and then get on again.
