Description

  The present invention relates to a group management elevator apparatus, and more particularly to a group management elevator apparatus for guiding a user to a number of elevators (a so-called car) to board a user.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a system provided with a plurality of elevators, various systems have been proposed for guiding an elevator to board a user. In addition, when guiding an elevator to board, it has been proposed to identify a user and to display a guide screen of the number of a model (so-called car number) suitable for the user.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system in which a call apparatus provided with a touch screen is installed in an elevator lobby, and a call apparatus acquires call identification information for each user using a radio frequency identification (RFID) device. Patent Document 1 describes that the display content of the touch screen is set according to the identification information of the user acquired by the calling device.

Japanese Patent Publication No. 2008-505037

  As described in Patent Document 1, when the guidance information is displayed on the touch screen installed in the elevator lobby, the user needs to stop in front of the touch screen to confirm the display content of the touch screen. However, stopping in front of the touch screen to identify and guide the user requires the user to stop temporarily, which hinders smooth movement of the user, which is not preferable.

In addition, it is difficult to provide guidance to all the users unless the elevator lobby has a large number of touch screens in a time zone in which the elevator users concentrate. Therefore, the guidance system proposed conventionally is not practical to apply to an elevator with many users.
Thus, although it has been conventionally proposed that guidance to elevator users be provided appropriately for each user, providing guidance to a large number of users without bothering the users is The prior art has been difficult.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a group management elevator device capable of reliably notifying an elevator number assigned to a user without stopping the user.

The present invention includes a service request acquisition unit that determines a service request of a user of an elevator, an assignment processing unit that allocates an appropriate elevator from a plurality of elevators based on the service request acquired by the service request acquisition unit, and service request acquisition. The coordinate position detection unit detects the coordinate position of the user who has received the service request, and the elevator guidance information allocated by the assignment processing unit is displayed at the display position corresponding to the coordinate position detected by the coordinate position detection unit. And a landing guidance notifying unit.
Then, when the coordinate position of the user detected by the coordinate position detection unit exceeds the first coordinate position, the display of the guidance information by the landing guidance notification unit is ended, and the assignment processing unit changes the elevator usage status When there is a change in the elevator assigned to the user who requested the service, the coordinate position of the user detected by the coordinate position detection unit is before the second coordinate position before the first coordinate position. The guidance information displayed by the landing guidance informing unit notifies the change of the elevator, and the guidance information displayed by the landing guidance informing unit when the coordinate position of the user detected by the coordinate position detecting unit exceeds the second coordinate position We did not change elevator to notify in.

According to the group control elevator apparatus of the present invention, notification of the assigned elevator can be appropriately notified to the user without stopping the user.
Problems, configurations, and effects other than those described above will be made clear by the following description of the embodiment.

<1. First Embodiment>
Hereinafter, an example of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 10.
[1-1. System Overview]
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of a group management elevator apparatus according to an example of a first embodiment of the present invention.
A group management elevator apparatus according to an example of the first embodiment of the present invention includes a hall destination floor acquisition unit 10, an input / output control system 20, a hall guidance notification unit 30, and a group management control system 60. The group management control system 60 controls a plurality of elevator control units 50-1 to 50-N (N is an arbitrary integer). Each elevator control unit 50-1 to 50-N controls the operation status of each car 52-1 to 52-N by the elevator drive units 51-1 to 51-N. Here, among a plurality of prepared elevators (cars 52-1 to 52-N), elevators assigned to users are referred to as assigned cars.

The landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 includes a destination floor acquisition unit 11 and a coordinate position detection unit 12. The destination floor acquisition unit 11 acquires information on the destination floor of the user based on the information read by the information reading device 14. The information reader 14 is installed, for example, at the entrance of the elevator hall, and reads information of the tag 14a possessed by the elevator user. The information reading device 14 reads the information of the user registered in the approaching tag 14 a by, for example, proximity wireless communication. Instead of the tag 14a, the destination floor acquisition unit 11 may read information on the user registered in an information terminal (such as a smartphone) possessed by the user. Further, the tag 14a possessed by the user is used as a card for personal authentication in which personal information such as an employee ID card, an admission card, a student card, etc. is registered. The personal information registered in the tag 14a includes, in addition to the personal ID assigned to the user, information on the user's affiliation destination and entry destination. Alternatively, as personal information registered in the tag 14a, information on which floor in the building the user's affiliation destination or entrance destination is may be registered. Further, information on the height of the user may be registered in the tag 14a.
Further, information indicating that the user needs to operate in a different manner when using the elevator, such as when the user is a wheelchair user, is registered in the tag 14a.

The information reader 14 that has read the stored information of the tag 14 a sends the read information to the destination floor acquisition unit 11. The destination floor acquisition unit 11 determines the destination floor of the user who holds the tag 14a. For example, when the user's affiliation destination is acquired from the storage information of the tag 14a, it is determined on which floor of the building the affiliation destination is located, and the determined floor is determined as the destination floor.
Alternatively, the information reading device 14 may read only the personal ID such as the employee number stored in the tag 14a, and the destination floor acquisition unit 11 may determine the destination floor from the personal ID. In this case, the destination floor acquisition unit 11 (or the management center of personal information that communicates with the destination floor acquisition unit 11) stores in advance a correspondence table of personal ID, destination floor, affiliation, etc. From the table, the destination floor acquisition unit 11 determines the destination floor of the user.

In addition, at the landing of the elevator, a landing destination floor registration device 13 composed of buttons, a touch panel and the like is installed, and it is possible for the user to input a destination floor. The destination floor input by the landing destination floor registration device 13 is supplied to the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10.
A detection sensor 101a for detecting the coordinate position of the user is installed at the entrance of the landing of the elevator, and the coordinate position detection unit 12 detects the coordinate position of the user based on the detection data of the detection sensor 101a. A specific example of detection of the coordinate position of the user by the detection sensor 101a at the landing of the elevator will be described later.

  The destination floor information determined by the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 is supplied to the input / output control system 20. The input / output control system 20 manages the input / output of information between the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10, the landing guidance notification unit 30, and the group management control system 60, and the information of the specifications received from each processing unit (system) , Convert to information of specifications that can be received by the processing unit (system) of the transmission destination.

The landing guidance and notification unit 30 includes the guidance and notification device 100 that guides the assigned elevator to each and every user. The guidance and notification device 100 is configured of a relatively large display, and is installed at the entrance of the landing. The landing guidance and notification unit 30 includes a display coordinate determination unit 31 that determines which position of the guidance and notification device 100 is to be used for notification (display), and a notification processing unit 32 that performs notification processing of the assigned car. .
The display coordinate determination unit 31 determines, based on the coordinate position of the user detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12, the coordinate position at which the guidance and notification apparatus 100 notifies the assigned car. When determining the coordinate position, the display coordinate determination unit 31 may refer to personal information read from the tag 14 a by the destination floor acquisition unit 11.

The group management control system 60 includes an operation management control system 70 that performs operation management of the plurality of cars 52-1 to 52 -N, a learning system 80, and an intelligence system 90.
The learning system 80 determines which operation program is optimum from the information collected by daily operation control, or learns the daily floor-by-floor operation status, and the destination is congested for each departure floor. Learn the floor and perform the process of calculating the high demand floor. The intelligence system 90 performs simulation from the collected information and automatically generates an optimal driving program.
By providing such a learning system 80 and an intelligence system 90, the group management control system 60 learns traffic conditions that change from moment to moment, and automatically generates operating conditions suitable for building-specific traffic demands. Provide optimal operation management for each call registration.

The operation management control system 70 includes a destination floor input acceptance processing unit 71, an ID determination processing unit 72, a display coordinate detection processing unit 73, an allocation changeable position determination processing unit 74, an allocation machine determination processing unit 75, and a car. A display position determination unit 76 and an ID assigned machine guidance processing unit 77 are provided.
The destination floor input reception processing unit 71 receives the destination call registration from the hall destination floor acquisition unit 10.
The ID determination processing unit 72 assigns an ID described later in the order detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12. Alternatively, the ID determination processing unit 72 manages the ID for each personal ID detected by the destination floor acquisition unit 11.

The display coordinate detection processing unit 73 determines a coordinate position (X, Y coordinate or X coordinate) which can be visually recognized by the user, which is ahead of the detection position of the user based on the detection coordinate of the user.
The assignment changeable position determination processing unit 74 selects an optimal assignment car according to the change in traffic demand and guides when changing the assignment car for the user because there is a change in traffic demand. To implement, determine the coordinates of the user who can change the allocation.
The allocation machine determination processing unit 75 selects an allocation machine for each ID allocated by the ID determination processing unit 72, and information necessary for allocation is appropriate based on information such as departure floor, destination floor, and user attributes. It functions as an assignment processor that assigns elevators.
The number display position determination unit 76 determines the position of the user and determines the notification position of the assigned number machine information. For example, the machine display position determination unit 76 performs display position determination processing so as to notify assigned machine information from the notification position entrance to a specific position (for example, 50 cm from the exit of the guidance passage).
The ID-assigned assignment machine guidance processing unit 77 creates ID information and information of the assignment machine for each ID. Then, the information generated by the ID-based allocation vehicle guidance processing unit 77 is transmitted to the landing guidance notification unit 30.

  The ID information provided by the ID determination processing unit 72 includes a mode using an ID provided on the group management control system 60 side and a mode using ID information transmitted from the hall destination floor acquisition unit 10 . The ID information set in each mode can be distinguished, for example, by dividing the range of values. For example, as the ID information value, the ID information provided on the group management control system 60 side is a value in the range of 0x8000 to 0xFFFF, and the ID information provided by the hall destination floor acquisition unit 10 is 0x0000 to 0x7FFF. It is a range value.

The mode in which the group management control system 60 side assigns ID information is a mode in which ID information is assigned based on the order of the input user information. The user information is the departure floor and destination floor information transmitted from the hall destination floor acquisition unit 10. For example, if the user from the third floor to the destination floor to the eighth floor and the user from the fourth floor to the first floor to the first floor are continuously input, the user from the third floor to the eighth floor of the destination floor The ID of 0x8001, the number of users from the 4th floor of departure floor to the 1st floor of the destination floor are managed in order with 0x8002.
In the mode in which ID information is transmitted from the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10, for example, an external device other than the operation management control system 70 manages the ID in cooperation with a security control device (not shown) or a security server. Mode. At this time, the managed ID information is transmitted from the external device to the group management control system 60, and the group management control system 60 uses the received ID information as it is.

The display coordinate detection processing unit 73 manages position coordinates for each ID-specific user provided by the ID determination processing unit 72 based on the coordinate position of the user detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12.
The assignment changeable position determination processing unit 74 determines the assignment changeable position from the position information of the user. This is because there is a case where the allocation efficiency of the assigned aircraft registered once is improved in overall operation efficiency by performing the assignment change according to the traffic conditions. For example, the registration machine may be delayed in arriving at the registered floor than expected due to a failure or a long-time door opening by the user. However, after guiding the assigned car guidance to the user, it is difficult to change the assigned car for each user unless there is some guidance processing. Therefore, when the user exists at a position where registration can be performed and a position where it is possible to give a guide to the assigned machine, the position where guidance of another car can be set is set from the display of the number once registered.

As described above, the allocation machine determination processing unit 75 determines the allocation machine having the optimal operation efficiency according to the building parameters and the user's use situation, based on the user's departure floor information and the destination floor information. .
The unit display position determination unit 76 determines which allocation unit is displayed at which position for which user. This determines the coordinate position for displaying or projecting the assigned car to a place where the user can easily understand visually.

As the coordinate position, the entrance position is set to “0”, and the display end position is set to P _MAX (x, y). The coordinate (x) indicates the traveling direction of the user, ie, the coordinate position in the direction from the entrance to the exit, and the coordinate (y) is perpendicular to the coordinate (x), ie, the direction of each user. Indicates the height direction.
Here, the display coordinate position easy for the user to understand is P (x, y + α) with respect to the user's coordinate position P (x, y). This is to make it possible to understand at a glance the guidance display to the user by performing guidance display at a position ahead of the user by the predetermined value α with respect to the traveling direction of the user. At this time, a is set to a value such as 50 [cm] as a simple fixed value. Alternatively, it may be variable based on the height information of the user so that any user of any height may be at an appropriate display position.

In the case of variably setting based on the height information of the user, for example, the value of α is calculated by the following equation.
α = b / tan (a)
Here, a indicates a fixed angle, and b indicates the height of the user.
In this way, with the setting of display coordinates that match the height of the user, the appropriate guidance for each individual person to be easily understandable to the user according to the user is Kano.

  The ID-assigned allocation machine guidance processing unit 77 manages, for each user, the users calculated by the machine display position determination unit 76 in the order of IDs in the group management control system 60, and the input / output control system 20. The guidance display position information is transmitted to the landing guidance notification unit 30 via the information.

  Although each elevator control unit 50-1 to 50-N is controlled by the group management control system 60 in the configuration shown in FIG. 1, the group management control system 60 is not used by switching by the switching unit 40. A control configuration is also possible. That is, when the group management control system 60 is not used, the input / output control system 20 directly communicates with each elevator control unit 50-1 to 50-N by switching by the switching unit 40. However, during normal operation, the group management control system 60 is always used.

[1-2. Configuration example of landing]
FIG.2 and FIG.3 shows the example of a structure of the landing of an elevator. FIG. 2 is a plan view showing the entire landing, and FIG. 3 is a side view showing the entrance of the landing.
The example of FIG. 2 shows a landing where three elevator doors 53-1, 53-2, 53-3 are installed. By opening the respective doors 53-1, 53-2, 53-3, the user can get on the corresponding car (for example, the car 52-1 shown in FIG. 1). Here, an elevator corresponding to the door 53-1 is referred to as a car A, an elevator corresponding to the door 53-2 is referred to as a car B, and an elevator corresponding to the door 53-3 is referred to as a car C.

At the entrance of the landing, a guide passage 101 through which the user passes is formed. A detection sensor 101a for detecting a coordinate position of the user is disposed on one side surface of the guide passage 101, and a guidance notification device 100 for displaying (notifying) guidance information is disposed on the other side surface.
The guide passage 101 is configured by, for example, a security gate installed at an entrance of a building, or a gate provided with a space through which one user can pass in order to limit the number of entrances. Further, the guide notification device 100 performs visual guide notification directed to the user by a display such as a liquid crystal panel.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the guide notification device 100 installed in the guide passage 101 has a shape that displays information in a horizontally long manner along the moving direction of the user 102 as described later. The display by the guidance and notification device 100 is performed based on an instruction from the notification processing unit 32.

[1-3. Flow of guidance and notification processing]
FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a flow of guidance notification processing for individual users in the group management elevator apparatus.
First, the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 determines whether the user's destination floor has been acquired by reading the tag 14a or the like (step S11). Here, when the destination floor of the user is acquired, it is determined whether the coordinate position detection unit 12 detects the coordinate position of the user at the entrance (step S12). If the destination floor information in the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 and the coordinate position information in the coordinate position detection unit 12 can not be acquired, the process returns to the determination in step S11 and waits until the destination floor and the coordinate position can be detected. Do.

When the coordinate position of the user is detected in step S12, the operation management control system 70 determines an assigned car for the user (step S13). Then, the assigned notification device 100 displays the assigned car at the display position corresponding to the current coordinate position detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12 (step S14). The display position at this time changes in conjunction with the change in detection of the coordinate position of the user.
Thereafter, the operation management control system 70 determines whether or not the current coordinate position detected by the coordinate position detection unit 12 has become a position at which the display is ended (step S15). Here, the operation standby control system 70 waits for the detection of the position to end the display, and when it is determined that the position to end the display is reached in step S15, the operation management control system 70 ends the display of the guidance information in the guidance notification device 100. (Step S16).

[1-4. Processing based on the height of the user]
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of processing when using height information of the user.
First, the display coordinate detection processing unit 73 of the operation management control system 70 determines whether the user's own height information is included in the user's information acquired by the destination floor acquisition unit 11 (step S21). Here, when there is height information, the display coordinate detection processing unit 73 sets a display position based on the acquired height (step S22). As the setting of the display position here, for example, as described above, using the distance α calculated using the equation α = b / tan (a), the distance α is more than the coordinate position of the user Make it appear in front of you.
If there is no height information in step S21, the display coordinate detection processing unit 73 sets the display position as the distance α being a predetermined fixed value (for example, 50 [cm]) (step S23).

[1-5. Example of process when changing assigned machine]
FIG. 6 is a flow chart showing an example of processing when there is a change in the machine number once assigned to the user by the operation management control system 70.
First, the assignment changeable position determination processing unit 74 of the operation management control system 70 determines whether or not a change has occurred in the assigned car for the user whose guide information is displayed by the guide notification device 100 (step S31). Here, if there is no change, the assignment changeable position determination processing unit 74 waits until there is a change.
When it is determined in step S31 that a change has occurred in the assigned machine, it is determined whether the current display position being set by the machine display position determination unit 76 is before the specific position P _chg (step S32). . Here, when the current position of the user is before the specific position P _chg , the assignment changeable position determination processing unit 74 determines that the position is a position where the guidance can be changed. The displayed guide car (display car) is changed (step S33). If it is determined in step S32 that the current position of the user is beyond the specific position P _chg , the change processing of the guide car displayed by the guide notification device 100 is disabled.

[1-6. Display example of guidance information]
Next, with reference to FIG. 7 and FIG. 8, the operation | movement which displays guidance information is demonstrated.
In the example of FIG. 7, the state where the first user 102 has entered the guide passage 101 is shown. Here, after the user 102, the user 103 approaches the entrance of the guiding passage 101. An information reader 14 is installed at the entrance of the guide passage 101.
When the tag 104a (FIG. 1) possessed by the user 102 is read by the information reader 14, the destination floor of the user 102 is acquired by the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10, and the guidance and notification device 100 A guidance display 100-1 of the assigned car is performed. Here, the A car is an assigned car, and “A” is displayed on Px + α that is a predetermined distance α (here, 50 cm) ahead of the current coordinate position Px of the user.
And this guidance display 100-1 is performed, changing a display position until the coordinate position of the user 102 becomes _PMAX . When the user 102 reaches the coordinate position P _MAX , the guidance display “A” for the user 102 ends.
In addition, before the coordinate position of the user 102 becomes _Pchg , there may be a change in the assigned car displayed as guidance. The change of the assigned car displayed as guidance is executed by the process described in the flowchart of FIG.

FIG. 8 shows an example where the user 102 has advanced to the vicinity of the exit of the guiding passage 101 and another user 103 has entered the entrance.
At this time, in accordance with the coordinate position of the user 103, the guidance display 100-2 of the assigned car of the user 103 is performed. Here, the assigned car of the user 103 is the B-th car and is displayed as "B". When height information of the user 103 is present, the display coordinate position is set to a position in which the height of the user 103 is taken into consideration. Although the example in which the distance α before the user's coordinate position is variable according to the height has been described in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the coordinate position in the y-axis direction of the guidance display “A” and “B” as shown in FIG. The heights y1 and y2 may be set variably.
The coordinate positions in the y-axis direction for the guidance displays 100-1 and 100-2 for the respective users 102 and 103 are set to the same position (height) from the display start to the display end.

As described above, in the guidance display by the guidance and notification device 100, since the display position of the assigned machine information (such as "A") moves in the X coordinate in accordance with the movement of the user, the machine information of each user is displayed. "A" etc. can be notified surely. In addition, since the guidance display position is variably set to a position that is easy to view for each user, also from this point, it is possible to make it easy for the individual user to easily view.
Therefore, according to the system of the present embodiment, notification of assigned machine number information and the like can be reliably performed without stopping the user, and each user can be smoothly moved to the entrance / exit side. Can.

[1-7. Example of displaying other information]
9 and 10 show an example in which information other than the assigned car is displayed when the guidance display is performed.
FIG. 9 is an example in which the destination floor display 100-1a is simultaneously performed when the guidance display 100-1 indicating the assigned car "A" is displayed to the user 102. In this example, the guidance notification device 100 displays "destination 7th floor" as the destination floor display 100-1a with relatively small characters under the character "A".

In FIG. 10, when the guidance displays 100-1 and 100-2 indicating the assigned machines "A" and "B" are performed for the users 102 and 103, a part of each personal information is simultaneously displayed. Is an example. For example, when the guidance display 100-1 indicating the assigned car "A" is displayed to the user 102, a part of digits of the ID of the user 102 (here, under the letter "A") Personal information display 100-1b is performed by the last three digits.
Similarly, when the guidance display 100-2 indicating the assigned machine "B" is displayed to the user 103, a part of the digit of the ID of the user 103 (here, under the letter "B") Then, the personal information display 100-2b by the lower three digits is performed.
Instead of displaying a part of the ID of each individual, the guidance and notification apparatus 100 may display part or all of the name, the department, or the like.

<2. Second Embodiment>
Hereinafter, an example of the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 11 to 14.
In this embodiment, instead of the guide notification device 100 described in the first embodiment, a guide notification device 200 for projecting information on a floor surface is used. The configuration of FIG. 1 described in the first embodiment is applied to the configuration of the entire system other than the guide notification device 200. Further, the processing of the flowchart of FIG. 4 described in the first embodiment is applied to the flow of the entire guidance and notification processing.

[2-1. Installation example of guidance and notification device]
FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 show a configuration example of a landing of an elevator by a group control elevator apparatus according to an example of the second embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 11 is a plan view showing the entire landing, and FIG. 12 is a plan view showing the entrance of the landing.
The example of FIG. 11 shows a hall where doors 53-1, 53-2, and 53-3 of three elevators (A, B, and C) are installed.

  At the entrance of the landing to the entrance and exit, a guidance and notification device 200 for projecting information on the floor surface of the passage is installed. In this example, a total of two guidance notification devices 200 are installed, one each on the right side and the left side of the entrance. Each guidance alerting | reporting apparatus 200 is arrange | positioned in the state which stood up in pole shape, for example. Further, the guide notification device 200 may incorporate the information reading device 14 (FIG. 1) or the detection sensor 101a.

FIG. 12 shows an example where guidance information is displayed by the guidance notification device 200.
Here, the user 201 arrives at the entrance of the landing, the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 acquires the ID of the user 201, and the operation management control system 70 determines the assigned car "A" based on the destination floor. I suppose. At this time, the guidance notification device 200 projects the guidance display 202 on the floor surface. In the guidance display 202 at this time, “A” which is an assigned car is displayed.

In the example of FIG. 12, the coordinate (x) indicates the coordinate position in the traveling direction of the user, and the coordinate (y) indicates the coordinate position in the horizontal direction of each user.
As shown in FIG. 12, when the coordinate position of the user 201 is Px, the position at which the guide notification device 200 projects the guidance display 202 is a coordinate position Px + α that is a distance α ahead of the coordinate position Px. Here, α is a fixed value of 50 [cm].

  FIG. 13 shows a state in which the user 201 confirms the guidance display 202 displayed on the floor F of the landing. The guidance display 202 projected by the guidance and notification device 200 is ahead of the user 201 by a fixed distance α, and the guidance display 202 is performed at a front position where the user 201 can easily view.

And the projection position where guidance indication 202 is performed changes gradually with the progress of user 201. That is, as shown in FIG. 12, with the change of the coordinate position of the user 201, the guide notification device 200 sets the projection position in the x direction until the coordinate position Px of the user 201 reaches the coordinate position P _MAX. Change continuously. At this time, display coordinates in the y direction are fixed values. Further, the specific position P _chg is set at a position before the coordinate position P _MAX , and when the user 201 does not exceed the specific position P _chg , the assigned car by the guidance display 202 can be changed.

FIG. 14 shows a state where the position Px of the user 201 has advanced to some extent from the entrance of the landing.
As shown in FIG. 14, while the position Px of the user 201 is in front of the coordinate position P _MAX , a constant distance α (here, 50 [cm]) is added to the coordinate position Px at that time. At the position, a guidance display 202 is provided by projection.
If there is another user following the user 201, the guidance display of the assigned car is also performed for the user.
In the case of the example of FIG. 14, since two guidance notification devices 200 are installed, the two guidance notification devices 200 are alternately projected and displayed for each user who has passed through the landing. It is also good. For example, the guidance notification device 200 on the right side may project to a certain user, and the guidance notification device 200 on the left side may project the next user. Of course, one guidance notification device 200 may project the assigned car to a plurality of different positions for a plurality of users.

<3. Modified example>
The present invention is not limited to the configurations and processes described in the first and second embodiments described above, and includes various modifications. For example, in the first embodiment, the management is performed for each ID acquired from the tag 104a or the like. However, by identifying the user's personal information through an arbitrary server, the user is identified. , Or may determine the assigned machine.

In the first and second embodiments described above, the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10 acquires destination floor information of the user and performs a service based on the destination floor. The invention can also be applied to the case where a service request of another user other than the destination floor is acquired and a car number is assigned to each user. That is, instead of the landing destination floor acquisition unit 10, as a service request acquisition unit that acquires not only the service floor for the destination floor but also the user's various elevator usages, allocation of machine numbers according to the user's detailed requests is performed. You may do so.
In addition, the process of detecting the user ID and the like using a tag is also an example, and other processes may be applied. For example, the user's face may be recognized to automatically determine the destination floor of the user.

  Also, the signal flow lines shown in FIG. 1 indicate what is considered necessary for the description, and not all lines necessary for the device are necessarily shown. In practice, almost all configurations may be considered to be mutually connected.
