Embodiment 1 FIG.
FIG. 1 is an example of an overview diagram of a destination floor registration apparatus according to the first embodiment.

  The destination floor registration device 1 is provided, for example, at a landing where a plurality of elevators can get on and off. The destination floor registration device 1 may be provided, for example, on all floors where elevator cars can stop. The destination floor registration device 1 may be provided only on one or more specific floors, for example.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the destination floor registration device 1 includes an operation unit 2 and a display unit 3. The operation unit 2 is, for example, a push button or a touch panel. The display unit 3 is, for example, a liquid crystal display or a touch panel. The destination floor registration device 1 may include, for example, a speaker (not shown).

  The operation unit 2 shown in FIG. 1 has a plurality of buttons. Each button is provided, for example, corresponding to each floor where the elevator car can stop. For example, the elevator user presses a button corresponding to a desired floor. That is, the operation unit 2 accepts an input operation on the destination floor by the user.

  The display unit 3 is provided at a position that enters the field of view of the user who is performing an input operation on the operation unit 2. The display unit 3 is provided on the same surface as the operation unit 2 in the housing of the destination floor registration device 1, for example. For example, the display unit 3 is provided adjacent to the operation unit 2 in the housing of the destination floor registration device 1.

  FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the group management system in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the group management system includes a destination floor registration device 1 and a group management device 4. The group management device 4 is electrically connected to, for example, a plurality of destination floor registration devices 1. The group management device 4 is electrically connected to each control device of a plurality of elevators (not shown), for example. The group management device 4 manages the operation of a plurality of elevators.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the group management device 4 includes a car assignment unit 5, a car state detection unit 6, a number of people storage unit 7, and a notification control unit 8.

  When a destination floor input operation is performed on the destination floor registration device 1, the car assignment unit 5 registers a destination call for moving from the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1 to the destination floor. At this time, the car allocating unit 5 counts the number of persons moving to the destination floor including the operator performing the input operation based on the input operation on the destination floor. Hereinafter, the number of people counted by the car assignment unit 5 based on the input operation on the destination floor is also referred to as “destination calling number”.

  For example, the car allocating unit 5 counts the number of destination callers according to the period in which the input operation on the same destination floor is continued without interruption. For example, when the time during which the input operation is performed is less than 1 second, the car assignment unit 5 counts the number of destination callers as one. For example, each time the input operation is continued for one second, the car assignment unit 5 adds the number of destination call persons one by one. In this case, for example, if the button corresponding to the fifth floor is operated for 3 seconds or more and less than 4 seconds, the number of persons moving to the fifth floor is counted as four.

  When the destination floor input operation is performed on the destination floor registration device 1, the car assignment unit 5 acquires a “car state” described later from the car state detection unit 6. When a destination floor input operation is performed on the destination floor registration device 1, the car assignment unit 5 acquires “number of people information” described later from the number of people storage unit 7. The car allocation unit 5 determines an optimal allocation car from a plurality of cars based on the “car status” of each car, the “number of people information” of each car, and the number of destination callers. Note that determining the assigned car includes changing the assigned car according to a change in the number of destination callers.

  The determination of the optimum assigned car may be, for example, assigning a car to a call so that the waiting time of the entire elevators managed in groups is minimized. The determination of the optimal allocation car may be, for example, the allocation of a car to a call so that the running energy consumption of the car is minimized. The determination of the optimum assigned car may be, for example, assigning a car to a call based on some preset index.

  The car state detector 6 detects the “car state” of each car. The “car state” includes, for example, information such as the current position, the traveling direction, and the assigned destination call. The current position of the car indicates the current position of the car in the vertical direction. The traveling direction of the car indicates that the car is moving up or down, or is stopped. The assigned destination call of the car indicates the boarding floor and the destination floor of the destination call for which the car is determined as the assigned car. A boarding floor is an installation floor of the destination floor registration apparatus 1 in which an input operation of the destination floor is performed.

  The number storage unit 7 stores “number information” of each car. The “number-of-people information” of the car includes, for example, information such as the number of persons currently in the car, the number of persons scheduled to get on the car on each floor, and the number of persons scheduled to get off the car on each floor.

  When the assigned car that responds to the destination call is determined, the car assignment unit 5 outputs the destination call information. The destination call information includes, for example, information such as the boarding floor, the destination floor, the assigned car, and the number of destination callers.

  The car state detection unit 6 updates the “car state” based on the destination call information output from the car assignment unit 5. For example, the car state detection unit 6 updates the contents of the assigned destination call based on the destination call information.

  The number storage unit 7 updates the “number information” based on the destination call information output from the car assignment unit 5. For example, the number of people storage unit 7 updates the number of people who get on the assigned car on each floor and the number of people who get off the assigned car on each floor based on the destination call information. Further, when the car state detection unit 6 detects the arrival of a car at the destination floor, the number of people storage unit 7 updates the number of people currently in the car.

  The car allocating unit 5 outputs information indicating the number of passengers on board and information indicating the number of passengers on board when the user performs an input operation on the destination floor with respect to the destination floor registration device 1 and the assigned car is determined. . The number of simultaneous passengers is the number of other users who get into the assigned car on the user's boarding floor. The number of simultaneous passengers is the number of destination call persons counted based on another input operation performed before the input operation. The number of simultaneous passengers may include the number of people who go to another destination floor. The number of boarded passengers is the number of passengers already in the assigned car when arriving at the user's boarding floor. The number of simultaneous passengers and the number of passengers who have already boarded the vehicle are calculated based on, for example, “person information”.

  The information indicating the number of boarded passengers may include, for example, information indicating the number of boarded passengers who get off the assigned car on the boarding floor. The information indicating the number of people who have boarded may include, for example, information indicating the number of people who have not boarded from the assigned car on the boarding floor. The information indicating the number of boarded passengers may include, for example, information indicating the number of boarded passengers who have not boarded at the present time but who will board the assigned car on a floor different from the boarding floor.

  The notification control unit 8 notifies information from the destination floor registration device 1. The notification control unit 8 displays visual information on the display unit 3, for example. For example, the notification control unit 8 may broadcast audio information from a speaker (not shown) of the destination floor registration device 1.

  When the destination floor input operation is performed on the destination floor registration device 1, the notification control unit 8 is based on the destination call information output from the car assignment unit 5, information indicating the number of passengers at the same time, and information indicating the number of passengers already boarded. The information is displayed on the display unit 3 of the destination floor registration device 1.

  When the destination floor input operation is performed on the destination floor registration device 1, the notification control unit 8 displays, for example, information indicating the destination floor and the assigned car on the display unit 3 of the destination floor registration device 1.

  When the destination floor input operation for the destination floor registration device 1 is performed, the notification control unit 8 displays, for example, information indicating the expected number of people on the display unit 3 of the destination floor registration device 1. The expected number of passengers is the number of people who will get on the assigned car on the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1. The planned number of passengers is the sum of the number of destination callers and the number of simultaneous passengers. For example, the information control unit 8 may separately display information indicating the number of people called as destination information and information indicating the number of simultaneous passengers as information indicating the planned number of passengers.

  When the destination floor input operation for the destination floor registration device 1 is performed, the notification control unit 8 displays, for example, information indicating the number of boarded passengers on the display unit 3 of the destination floor registration device 1. For example, the notification control unit 8 may display information indicating the boarding capacity together with information indicating the number of passengers. For example, the notification control unit 8 may separately display the number of people who get off and the number of people who do not get off on the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1 as information indicating the number of people who have boarded. For example, as information indicating the number of people who have boarded, the notification control unit 8 separately displays the number of people who are currently on the assigned car and the number of people who will be on the floor different from the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1. Also good.

  For example, when displaying the information indicating the destination floor, the assigned car, the number of passengers to be boarded, the number of people who have boarded, and the like, the notification control unit 8 may broadcast at least a part of the content overlapping in a voice announcement.

  As described above, the destination call number changes in conjunction with the destination floor input operation to the destination floor registration device 1. When the number of destination calls changes, the number of people scheduled to ride changes. If the number of passengers changes, the assigned car can be changed. When the assigned car is changed, the number of passengers and the number of passengers that have been boarded change. That is, the notification control unit 8 changes the information notified from the destination floor registration device 1 one by one in conjunction with the destination floor input operation for the destination floor registration device 1.

  FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the group management apparatus in the first embodiment.

  When the destination floor registration device 1 detects an input operation on the destination floor, the destination floor registration device 1 transmits information indicating the destination floor to the group management device 4 (step S101). The group management device 4 registers a destination call from the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1 to the destination floor (step S102). At this time, the group management device 4 counts the number of destination callers as one (step S103). The one person is an operator who performs an input operation, for example.

  The group management device 4 determines whether there is a car in which the current number of passengers can board (step S104). The number of passengers who can board the boarding is, for example, a car that does not exceed the boarding capacity even if the number of boarding persons is added to the number of boarding persons who do not get off at the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1.

  If it is determined in step S104 that there is a car that can be boarded by the scheduled number of passengers, the group management device 4 assigns an optimal car among the cars that can be boarded by the number of boarding passengers to the destination call (step S105). Subsequent to step S105, the group management device 4 causes the destination floor registration device 1 to display the destination floor, the assigned car name, the scheduled number of people on board, and the number of people on board (step S106).

  The group management device 4 determines whether or not the destination floor input operation has continued for 1 second (step S107). In the process of step S107 after the second time, it is determined whether or not it continues for one second from the previous determination timing.

  If it is determined in step S107 that the input operation on the destination floor has continued for 1 second, the group management apparatus 4 adds one destination calling person (step S108). After step S108, the process of step S104 is performed. When the processing after step S104 is repeated, the number of destination callers is added one by one according to the time during which the input operation on the destination floor is continued.

  For example, when the operator operates a button corresponding to the destination floor for 4 seconds or more and less than 5 seconds, a total of five people including one operator and four accompanying persons are counted as the number of destination callers. In this case, in step S105, a car that can be boarded by the number of passengers who are added to the five passengers and the simultaneous passengers is assigned.

  When it is determined in step S107 that the destination floor input operation has not continued for 1 second, the group management device 4 deletes the display of the destination floor registration device 1 after a predetermined time (step S109).

  When it is determined in step S104 that there is no car that can be boarded, the group management device 4 displays on the destination floor registration device 1 that, for example, the number of people that can board and there is no car that can board all of them. (Step S110). After step S110, the process of step S107 is performed.

  In step S110, for example, a vacant car may be assigned as much as possible out of the cars in which everyone can board. In step S110, for example, information prompting re-operation after waiting for a while may be displayed. In step S110, for example, a car that can be boarded by the scheduled number of passengers after having responded to the destination call of another user currently on board may be assigned.

  FIG. 11 shows a state when the operation of the fifth floor button is continued from the state of FIG. 10 and the operation time becomes 3 seconds or more and less than 4 seconds. In this case, the number of destination callers increases to four. For example, when a group of four people including the operator tries to move to the fifth floor, such an operation is performed.

  FIG. 12 is a ninth diagram for explaining the operation of the destination floor registration apparatus in the first embodiment. FIG. 13 is a tenth diagram for explaining the operation of the destination floor registration apparatus in the first embodiment.

  Figure 12 shows that when the 8th floor button was operated for less than 1 second, Unit B was assigned, and there were three other users who were already assigned Unit B on the same floor, and Unit B arrived. The case where there are 10 people in the time basket is shown.

  FIG. 13 shows a state when the operation of the eighth floor button is continued from the state of FIG. 12 and the operation time becomes 3 seconds or more and less than 4 seconds. In this case, since the total number of destination callers has increased to four, the total of the number of people who will not get off at the time of arrival of Unit B and the number of people scheduled to board exceeds the boarding capacity, so Unit D is assigned again. This change means that it is optimal to assign Unit B if it is a group of 3 or less, but it is optimal to assign Unit D if it is a group of 4 or more.

FIG. 15 shows a state where display of the first visual symbol is started. The first visual symbol moves from the left side to the right side as shown in the order of FIGS. If the operation of the eighth floor button is continued, when the operation time becomes 1 second or longer, the display of the second visual symbol is started as shown in FIG. The second visual symbol moves from the left side to the right side as shown in the order of FIGS. FIG. 19 shows a state when the operation time of the 8th floor button is 1 second or more and less than 2 seconds. That is, the notification control unit 8 expresses, as an animation, a state in which the number of called people is counted, for example, as shown in the order of FIGS.

  FIG. 20 is another example of an overview diagram of the destination floor registration apparatus in the first embodiment. The destination floor registration device 1 shown in FIG. 20 is the same as the destination floor registration device 1 shown in FIG.

  FIG. 20 shows a ten-key type destination floor registration device 1. The operation unit 2 shown in FIG. 20 has buttons corresponding to the numbers from 0 to 9, respectively. For example, the elevator user uses the operation unit 2 shown in FIG. 20 to input one or more digits representing the destination floor. Even in this case, for example, if the input operation of the last digit is regarded as the input operation of the floor button, it is possible to count the number of destination callers as described above. That is, the car allocating unit 5 may count the number of destination callers according to the period in which the last digit input operation is continued without interruption.

  In the first embodiment, the car assignment unit 5 determines an assigned car from a plurality of cars based on, for example, an input operation on the destination floor with respect to the destination floor registration device 1. For example, when the destination floor registration device 1 is input to the destination floor, the notification control unit 8 determines the information indicating the assigned car and the expected number of people on the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1. It is displayed on the destination floor registration device 1. For example, the notification control unit 8 increases the scheduled number of passengers displayed on the destination floor registration device 1 one by one in conjunction with an input operation on the destination floor with respect to the destination floor registration device 1. For this reason, it is possible to make the user recognize that the operation on the destination floor registration device affects the count of the number of people. As a result, it is possible to induce an input operation that accurately counts the number of users.

  In the first embodiment, the notification control unit 8 is, for example, a boarding displayed on the destination floor registration device 1 according to a period in which the input operation on the same destination floor with respect to the destination floor registration device 1 is continued without interruption. Increase the planned number of people one by one. Therefore, it is possible to count the number of users with a simple configuration without providing a dedicated button or the like for inputting the number of people in the destination floor registration device.

  In the first embodiment, for example, when an input operation on the destination floor is performed on the destination floor registration device 1, the notification control unit 8 sets the destination call number based on the input operation and the input as the expected number of boarding passengers. Prior to the operation, the number of simultaneous passengers based on another input operation performed on the destination floor registration device 1 is displayed on the destination floor registration device 1 separately. The notification control unit 8 increases the number of destination call persons displayed on the destination floor registration device 1 one by one in conjunction with the input operation. For this reason, it is possible to make the user recognize that the operation on the destination floor registration device affects the count of the number of people.

  In Embodiment 1, for example, when the destination floor registration device 1 is input to the destination floor registration device 1, the notification control unit 8 arrives at the arrival of the assigned car to the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1 As the number of people who have boarded, the number of people getting off the floor and the number of people not getting off the floor are displayed separately on the destination floor registration device 1. For this reason, it is possible to make the user at the hall recognize the congestion situation of the assigned car.

  In the first embodiment, the car assignment unit 5 assigns, for example, the total of the number of people who have not boarded and the number of people who will get on the floor among the number of people who have boarded at the arrival of the car to the installation floor of the destination floor registration device 1 When the car capacity is exceeded, the assigned car is changed. For this reason, it is possible to prevent some users from getting into the car. In addition, it is possible to make the user recognize that the operation on the destination floor registration device affects the count of the number of people.

  In the first embodiment, for example, the notification control unit 8 animates a visual symbol indicating the number of people when the planned number of passengers displayed on the destination floor registration device 1 is increased. For this reason, it can be made to understand intuitively that operation with respect to a destination floor registration apparatus affects the count of the number of people.

  In the first embodiment, the operation time of the operation unit 2 necessary for increasing the destination call count by one may be set to a time other than 1 second, for example. Further, for example, the function of counting the number of destination callers according to the operation time of the operation unit 2 may be disabled, and the number of times that the input operation on the destination floor is performed may be counted as the number of destination callers.

  In the first embodiment, the notification control unit 8 may be provided in the destination floor registration device 1, for example. Even in this case, if the destination call information, the information indicating the number of passengers at the same time, the information indicating the number of passengers on board, and the like are transmitted from the group management device 4 to the destination floor registration device 1, the same operation as described above is performed. be able to.

  FIG. 21 is a hardware configuration diagram of the group management apparatus.

  The functions of the car assignment unit 5, the car state detection unit 6, the number of people storage unit 7, and the notification control unit 8 in the group management device 4 are realized by a processing circuit. The processing circuit may be dedicated hardware 50. The processing circuit may include a processor 51 and a memory 52. A part of the processing circuit is formed as dedicated hardware 50, and may further include a processor 51 and a memory 52. FIG. 21 shows an example in which the processing circuit is partly formed as dedicated hardware 50 and includes a processor 51 and a memory 52.

  When at least a part of the processing circuit is at least one dedicated hardware 50, the processing circuit may be, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA, or the like. The combination is applicable.
