The flowchart of FIG. 3 shows the first elevator control device 11, the second elevator control device 21, and the processing executed between the first elevator control device 11 and the second elevator control device 21 in these operations.

  In the present embodiment, during normal operation of the first elevator 10, the car call operated by the car call registration device of the first elevator 10 and the hall call operated by the hall call registration device are sent to the first call registration unit 111. The devices in the first elevator 10 are controlled by the first operation control unit 116 so as to be registered and respond to this.

  Similarly, during normal operation of the second elevator 20, the car call operated by the car call registration device of the second elevator 20 and the hall call operated by the hall call registration device are sent to the second call registration unit 211. The equipment in the 2nd elevator 20 is controlled by the 2nd operation control part 212 so that it may register and respond to this. In the second security camera device 23, the user of the elevator hall of the second elevator 20 is photographed.

  Thus, in a state where normal operation is performed (S1, S2), it is determined in the first call registration unit 111 of the first elevator control device 11 whether or not a car call to the first reference floor has occurred. (S3). When the car call to the first reference floor has not occurred ("NO" in S3), the process returns to step S1 and the normal operation is continued.

  When a car call to the first reference floor is generated (“YES” in S3), in response to the car call, the operation of each device in the first elevator 10 is controlled by the first operation control unit 116. The car 12 is moved to the first floor.

  When the first car 12 arrives at the first floor and the user X gets off from the first car 12, the first security camera device 13 takes a picture of the user X getting off. The imaging information generated by photographing is analyzed by the first analysis device 14, identification information for identifying the face of the user X who gets off the vehicle is generated and transmitted to the first elevator control device 11.

  In the first elevator control device 11, the identification information of the user X transmitted from the first analysis device 14 is acquired as first user information by the first user information acquisition unit 112. Moreover, in the 1st time information acquisition part 113, the time information when the 1st user information is acquired in the 1st user information acquisition part 112 is acquired as 1st time information t1 (S4).

If not ("NO" in S9), or if user X is not recognized again on the first floor of Building B in step S10 ("NO" in S10), the routine returns to normal operation (S2).

  User X moves from Building B to Building A and is expected to arrive at Building A when the movement time t has elapsed.

  In the first elevator control device 11 of the A building, the first transmission / reception unit 115 receives the car standby instruction transmitted from the second elevator control device 21. And each elevator apparatus is controlled by the 1st driving control part 116 so that the 1st car 12 may be made to stand by on the 1st floor (S14).

  After the first car 12 enters the standby state on the first floor, when a landing call on the first floor, which is the first reference floor, is generated and registered in the first call registration unit 111 (“YES” in S15), Return to normal operation (S1) and answer the car call. By being controlled in this way, when the passenger X of the first elevator 10 waits on the first floor at the timing when the user X arrives at the A building, and the user X performs a landing call operation on the first floor. It is possible to get on the car 12 promptly.

  In addition, when a hall call is not generated on the first floor (“NO” in S15) and a hall call is generated on another floor (“YES” in S16), the process returns to the normal operation (S1). Further, even when the hall call is not generated on either the first floor or the other floor (“NO” in S16), after a predetermined time has elapsed after entering the standby state (“YES” in S17), the process returns to the normal operation (S1).

  First, in a state in which normal operation is performed in the elevator of the A building and the elevator of the B building (S81, S82), the car of the first car 12 in the first call registration unit 111 of the first elevator control device 11 ′. When it is detected by the operation of the call registration device that a car call to the first floor which is the first reference floor has occurred ("YES" in S83), the car 12 which has arrived at the first floor in response to the car call. The user X who gets off the vehicle is photographed by the first security camera device 13. The imaging information generated by shooting is analyzed by the first analysis device 14, and identification information for identifying the face of the user X who gets off is generated and transmitted to the first elevator control device 11 '.

  In the first elevator control device 11 ′, the identification information of the user X transmitted from the first analysis device 14 is acquired as first user information by the first user information acquisition unit 112. In addition, when the schedule information regarding the user X is confirmed in the first determination unit 117 and there is a plan in another building (building B) within a predetermined time before and after the current date and time (“YES” in S85), After the first user information is acquired, it is determined whether or not the travel time t0 of the user X from the A building to the B building has elapsed (S86), and the first instruction generating unit 118 uses the second elevator. A car standby instruction is generated for causing the 20 cars 22 to wait on the second reference floor.

  If it is determined in step S86 that the travel time t0 has elapsed since the acquisition of the first user information (“YES” in S87), the car standby instruction generated by the first instruction generator 118 is issued. Then, it is transmitted from the first transmission / reception unit 115 to the second elevator control device 21 (S87).

  In the second elevator control device 21 of the B building, the car waiting instruction transmitted from the first elevator control device 11 ′ is received by the second transmitting / receiving unit 214. And each elevator apparatus is controlled by the 2nd driving control part 212 so that the 2nd passenger car 22 is made to stand by on the 1st floor (S88).

  After the second car 22 enters the standby state on the first floor, when a landing call on the first floor, which is the second reference floor, is generated and registered in the second call registration unit 211 (“YES” in S89), Return to normal operation (S93) and answer the car call. By being controlled in this way, when the passenger X of the second elevator 20 waits on the first floor at the timing when the user X arrives at the B building, and the user X performs a landing call operation on the first floor. It is possible to get on the car 22 promptly.

  Further, when the hall call is not generated on the first floor (“NO” in S89) and the hall call is generated on the other floor (“YES” in S90), the elevators of other cars are made to respond (S91). No landing call is generated on the first floor or the other floor (“NO” in S92), and when a certain period of time has elapsed since entering the standby state (“YES” in S92), the routine returns to normal operation (S93).

  Thereafter, when a car call operation with the first floor as the destination floor occurs, the second operation control unit 212 controls the operation of the equipment of the second elevator 20 in response to this ("YES" in S94). When the second determination unit 215 recognizes the user X again on the first floor of the B building (“YES” in S95), the second instruction generation unit 218 sets the car 12 of the first elevator 10 to the first reference. A car standby instruction for causing the floor to wait is generated. Then, after the user X is recognized again on the first floor of Building B in step S95, when the travel time t0 has elapsed ("YES" in S96), the car standby instruction generated by the second instruction generating unit 218 is issued. Then, it is transmitted from the second transmitting / receiving unit 214 to the first elevator control device 11 ′ (S97). When the car standby instruction is transmitted from the second transmission / reception unit 214, the operation of the second elevator control device 21 returns to the normal operation (S2).

  In the first elevator control device 11 ′ of the A building, the car standby instruction transmitted from the second elevator control device 21 is received by the first transmission / reception unit 115, and the first operation control unit 116 performs the second embodiment. Processing similar to that of steps S14 to S18 described is executed (S98).

  In step S85, when the schedule information of the user X does not have a plan at building B within a predetermined time before and after the current date and time ("NO" in S85), steps S4 to S18 described in the second embodiment are performed. The same process is executed (S99).

  According to the fifth embodiment described above, not only when the user moves back to another building and returns as in the first to fourth embodiments, but also when moving to another building. Convenience can be improved by shortening the waiting time when using the elevator in the previous building.

  In the first to fifth embodiments described above, the case has been described in which a car waiting instruction is transmitted to the elevator control device of the building to which the consumer is moving after the predetermined movement time has elapsed. A car waiting instruction may be transmitted a few seconds before the time elapses. By sending a car standby instruction early in this way, the car is surely waiting on the reference floor when the user arrives at the destination building, further reducing the waiting time for the user. Can be made.

These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, replacements, and changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
