Description

The present invention relates to an elevator control technique in which a regulatory device such as a security gate is installed.

For example, in Patent Document 1, whether or not a regulatory device such as a security gate is installed in an elevator and the regulatory device is allowed to pass based on the identification information (unique ID, etc.) read from the IC card possessed by the user. Judgment techniques have been proposed. Further, Patent Document 1 proposes a technique for performing call registration using an initial setting floor associated with identification information of a permitted user when the passage of a regulating device is permitted.

On the other hand, in an elevator to which such a technology is applied, a user may miss the car assigned by call registration after passing through the regulation device. Therefore, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a technique in which a destination floor registration device is installed at an elevator landing, and a call registration can be performed again through the destination floor registration device.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-67489 JP 2015-174716 Japanese Patent No. 5856977

In the above techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the destination floor that the user can move by calling registration is limited to the initial setting floor associated with the identification information. However, if there is a common floor in the building with a cafeteria, dining room, etc., it is necessary to be able to move to such a common floor by elevator separately from the initial setting floor (for example, the office floor). ..

In view of such circumstances, for example, in Patent Document 3, the destination on the display device provided in the regulation device so as to enable the movement to a destination floor (such as the common floor described above) different from the initial setting floor. A technology has been proposed that enables input of floors and performs call registration using the input destination floor. However, if it is possible to input the destination floor on the display device provided in the regulation device, the time required for passing through the regulation device becomes long, and there is a possibility that congestion may occur in front of the regulation device at the time of congestion.

Therefore, in Patent Document 3, in an elevator in which a plurality of regulation devices are installed, the regulation device capable of inputting the destination floor on the display device and the destination floor input on the display device are prohibited, and the identification information is read. A technique has been proposed in which a regulatory device that can only be used is mixed. This technology is intended to eliminate traffic congestion during congestion by allowing users to use different regulatory devices according to the destination floor they are heading to.

However, when two types of regulatory devices are mixed as described above, it is difficult for the user to distinguish between the two types of regulatory devices until the content displayed on the display device is viewed, and the user does not necessarily have to distinguish between the two types of regulatory devices. It is not always possible to use different regulatory devices depending on the destination floor you are heading to. Nevertheless, it was inconvenient for users to be aware of distinguishing them when passing through regulatory devices.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator in which a regulation device such as a security gate is installed, which can improve convenience and reduce congestion in front of the regulation device even during congestion. Is.

The control system according to the present invention can be applied to an elevator in which a plurality of regulation devices for restricting entry to the landing are installed, and a display device with an operation function provided in any of the regulation devices and a control device are provided. Be prepared. In the elevator, whether or not to allow the passage of the regulation device by the user is determined based on the identification information of the user, and the control device determines whether or not the passage of the regulation device is permitted based on the identification information. Call registration is performed using the destination floor corresponding to the identification information. Further, the display device has a switchable between a first display function and a second display function. Here, the first display function is a function of displaying the initial setting floor associated with the identification information so that the user can recognize that the destination floor is used for call registration. The second display function is a function that selectively displays the disembarkation permission floor associated with the identification information as the destination floor used for call registration. Then, the control device causes all the display devices to select the same one display function from the first display function and the second display function, and when the display function is switched, the switching is performed by all the display devices. Execute all at once.

According to the above control system, since the display functions of the display devices are switched all at once, all the display devices have the same display function as one display function. Therefore, the user does not need to use the regulation device properly according to the destination floor to which he / she is going. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to be conscious of distinguishing them when the regulatory device passes through, which increases convenience. In addition, when the display function is the first display function in all display devices, if the passage of the regulation device is permitted to the user, the user does not need to perform any subsequent operation automatically. In addition, call registration using the initial setting floor is executed. Therefore, the passage of the regulation device by the user becomes smooth, and as a result, the user is less likely to be congested in front of the regulation device even during congestion.

In the above control system, the control device may have a switchable between an automatic registration mode and a manual registration mode. Here, the automatic registration mode is a mode in which when the regulation device is permitted to pass based on the identification information, the call registration is performed using the initial setting floor associated with the identification information. In the manual registration mode, when the passage of the regulation device is permitted based on the identification information, the disembarkation permission floor associated with the identification information is changed to the display device provided in the regulation device that is permitted to pass. In this mode, the display is selectably displayed, and when any one of the disembarkation permission floors is selected by the display device, the call registration is performed using the disembarkation permission floor. In such a configuration, the control device may switch the display function for all the display devices at the same time according to the switching between the automatic registration mode and the manual registration mode. According to this configuration, the display functions of the display devices are switched all at once in conjunction with the switching of the registration mode in the control device.

In the above control system, the control device may invalidate both the call registration executed in the automatic registration mode and the manual registration mode while the display function of the display device is switched. According to this configuration, even if the registration mode and the display mechanism do not correspond to each other during the switching of the display function, the call registration is not executed during the switching. Therefore, even if the operation of the regulation device is not temporarily changed, it is unlikely that the call registration method recognized by the user when the regulation device is passing and the call registration method actually executed do not match. Become.

In the above control system, the control device may restrict the passage of all the restricting devices provided with the display device while the display function of the display device is being switched. According to this configuration, the passage of the regulating device is not permitted during the switching of the display function. Therefore, it is unlikely that the call registration method recognized by the user when the regulatory device is passing and the call registration method actually executed do not match.

According to the present invention, it is possible to improve the convenience of an elevator and to reduce the occurrence of traffic congestion in front of the regulating device even during congestion.

[1] Configuration of Elevator and Control System FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing an overall configuration of an elevator to which the control system according to the embodiment is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator includes a car 100, a regulation device 101, a security server 102, an elevator control device 103, and a group management control device 104. Then, device information Pd for identifying them is set in the regulation device 101.

In the present embodiment, a plurality of regulatory devices 101 are installed on a specific floor (lobby floor, etc.) of the building. Further, in such an elevator, the control system according to the present embodiment is provided at least in any of the regulation devices 101 in order to improve convenience and prevent congestion in front of the regulation device 101 even during congestion. It is composed of a display device 3 with an operation function and a group management control device 104. Hereinafter, the configuration of each part will be specifically described. Although not particularly limited, FIG. 1 shows a configuration in which three car 100s and three regulation devices 101 are provided on a specific floor as an example of an elevator.

<Regulatory device>
The regulation device 101 is a device such as a security gate that regulates the entry of an elevator to a landing on a specific floor. In FIG. 1, the landing is indicated by reference numeral H. The regulation device 101 includes a reading device 1 that reads information from a recording medium Q (IC card, magnetic card, etc.) possessed by the user, and a display device 2 that displays information on the car 100 that the user should board. And are provided. Here, the recording medium Q records the identification information Pi (unique information for identifying the recording medium Q, such as a unique ID) of the user who possesses the recording medium Q, and the reading device 1 identifies the information from the recording medium Q. Read information Pi. Further, the information of the car 100 displayed on the display device 2 is information (numbers, symbols, etc.) for identifying the car 100. Hereinafter, this information is referred to as "car information Pg".

The reading method of the recording medium Q by the reading device 1 may be a contact type or a non-contact type that reads information by short-range communication such as NFC (Near Field Communication). , Not particularly limited. Further, the recording medium Q is not limited to a card-shaped one, but may be a stick-shaped one or a chip-shaped one. Further, a portable information terminal such as a smartphone capable of short-range communication (NFC or the like) with the reading device 1 may be used as the recording medium Q.

The identification information Pi read by the reading device 1 is used in the security server 102 for authentication for determining whether or not to allow the user to pass through the regulating device 101. Therefore, when the reading device 1 reads the identification information Pi, the regulation device 101 transmits the identification information Pi to the security server 102 (see FIG. 1). At this time, the regulation device 101 transmits the device information Pd of the regulation device 101 to the security server 102 together with the identification information Pi in order to make the security server 102 recognize the position of the source of the identification information Pi. The regulation device 101 may transmit the device information of the reading device 1 (that is, the reading device 1 that has read the identification information Pi) provided in itself as the device information Pd to the security server 102.

In this embodiment, a display device 3 with an operation function is further provided in the regulation device 101. The display device 3 is a display panel with a touch panel, and is arranged in front of the display device 2 in the approach direction when passing through the regulation device 101. The display device 3 may have a function of performing a selection operation or the like with a button.

The display device 3 has a first display function and a second display function that can be switched as its own display function. Here, the first display function is a function for displaying the user so that the user recognizes that the call registration is performed in the automatic registration mode described later (see FIG. 6A). On the other hand, the second display function is a function for selectively displaying the disembarkation permission floor Fe, which will be described later, transmitted from the group management control device 104 before the call registration is performed in the manual registration mode described later (FIG. 6). (B)).

<Security server>
In order to maintain high security, the security server 102 authenticates the identification information Pi transmitted from the regulation device 101, and permits the user to pass through the regulation device 101 only when the authentication is successful. , Information associated with the identification information Pi that has been successfully authenticated (that is, information necessary for call registration) is transmitted to the group management control device 104 (authentication processing). The details of the authentication process will be described below.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an authentication process executed by the security server 102. The authentication process is started when the security server 102 receives the identification information Pi from the regulation device 101. When the authentication process is started, the security server 102 authenticates the received identification information Pi (step S101 in FIG. 2).

When the security server 102 succeeds in authenticating the identification information Pi in step S101, the security server 102 permits the user to pass through the regulation device 101 by controlling the regulation device 101 that is the source of the identification information Pi. (Step S102 in FIG. 2).

Specifically, the security server 102 has device management data D1. FIG. 3A is a conceptual diagram showing an example of device management data D1. In the device management data D1, for each device information Pd, the device address Pa (IP address, etc.) used for transmitting information to the regulation device 101 identified by the device information Pd, and the installation floor Fs of the regulation device 101. , Are associated with each other. Then, the security server 102 reads the device address Pa corresponding to the received device information Pd from the device management data D1 and controls the regulation device 101 specified by the read device address Pa to allow the regulation device 101 to pass. To the user.

After step S102, the security server 102 transmits the information associated with the identification information Pi that succeeded in authentication in step S101 (that is, the information necessary for call registration) to the group management control device 104 (FIG. 2). Step S103).

Specifically, the security server 102 further has the corresponding management data D2 in addition to the device management data D1 described above. FIG. 3B is a conceptual diagram showing an example of correspondence management data D2. In the correspondence management data D2, for each identification information Pi of the recording medium Q, the initial setting floor Fd initially set as the disembarkation floor of the user identified by the identification information Pi, and the initial setting floor for the same user. The disembarkation permission floor Fe including the disembarkation floor that can be permitted other than Fd is associated with. Further, in the correspondence management data D2, in order to prevent leakage of the identification information Pi, the management information Pj (for example, attached to the IC card) corresponding to the identification information Pi on a one-to-one basis for each identification information Pi of the recording medium Q is attached. (Something like a serial number) is associated.

Then, the security server 102 reads the management information Pj, the initial setting floor Fd, and the disembarkation permission floor Fe associated with the identification information Pi that succeeded in authentication in step S101 from the corresponding management data D2. Further, the security server 102 reads the installation floor Fs associated with the device information Pd from the device management data D1 by using the device information Pd transmitted from the regulation device 101 together with the identification information Pi.

After that, the security server 102 transmits the read information (management information Pj, initial setting floor Fd, disembarkation permission floor Fe, and installation floor Fs) to the group management control device 104 (see FIG. 1). At this time, the security server 102 also transmits the device address Pa read in step S102 to the group management control device 104. Instead of the security server 102, at least a part of the data in the device management data D1 and the correspondence management data D2 described above may be managed by the group management control device 104. In this case, the group management control device 104 reads at least a part of the information necessary for call registration from the data managed by itself.

When the security server 102 fails to authenticate the identification information Pi in step S101, the security server 102 controls (prohibits) the passage of the user in the regulation device 101 by controlling the regulation device 101 that is the source of the identification information Pi. ) (Step S104 in FIG. 2).

Such authentication processing may be executed in a processing unit configured by hardware by constructing a circuit in the security server 102, or a processing device such as a CPU included in the security server 102 may execute the program. It may be executed in a processing unit configured by software. Then, such a program may be stored in a portable storage device (for example, a flash memory or the like) in a readable state, or stored in a downloadable state on another server or the like, and the downloaded program is secured. It may be stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the server 102.

<Elevator control device>
The elevator control device 103 is provided so as to correspond to the car 100 one by one, and controls the operation of the car 100 corresponding to itself. Then, the elevator control device 103 is centrally managed and controlled by the group management control device 104.

<Group management control device>
The group management control device 104 receives information (management information Pj, initial setting floor Fd, disembarkation permission floor Fe, installation floor Fs, and device address Pa) received from the security server 102 each time the regulation device 101 is allowed to pass. Use to perform call registration (call registration process).

In the present embodiment, the group management control device 104 has two types of registration modes that can be switched with respect to the call registration process. Specifically, the group management control device 104 has a switchable between an automatic registration mode and a manual registration mode. Then, the group management control device 104 switches the registration mode to be executed between the automatic registration mode and the manual registration mode according to the time zone in which the elevator is operated (switching process). The details of the switching process will be described later.

Here, the automatic registration mode is a mode in which call registration is performed using the initial setting floor Fd included in the above information (hereinafter, referred to as “received information Pr”) received from the security server 102. That is, in the automatic registration mode, when the group management control device 104 is permitted to pass through the regulation device 101 based on the identification information Pi, the initial setting floor Fd associated with the identification information Pi (FIG. 3 (FIG. 3). B) Refer to) to perform call registration. The details of the call registration process executed in the automatic registration mode will be described later.

On the other hand, in the manual registration mode, the disembarkation permission floor Fe included in the reception information Pr can be selectively displayed on the display device 3 of the regulation device 101 specified by the device address Pa included in the same reception information Pr. In this mode, when any one of the disembarkation permission floor Fe is selected by the display device 3, the call registration is performed using the disembarkation permission floor Fe. That is, in the manual registration mode, when the group management control device 104 is permitted to pass through the regulation device 101 based on the identification information Pi, the disembarkation permission floor Fe associated with the identification information Pi (FIG. 3 (FIG. 3). B)) is displayed in a selectable manner on the display device 3 provided in the regulation device 101 where passage is permitted, and when any one of the disembarkation permission floor Fe is selected by the display device 3. Call registration is performed using the disembarkation permission floor Fe. The details of the call registration process executed in the manual registration mode will be described later.

In the present embodiment, the switching process and the called registration process are executed by the switching process unit 104A and the call registration processing unit 104B configured in the group management control device 104, respectively (see FIG. 1). Then, these processing units may be configured by hardware by constructing a circuit in the group management control device 104, or by causing a processing device such as a CPU included in the group management control device 104 to execute a program. It may be composed of software. Then, such a program may be stored in a portable storage device (for example, a flash memory or the like) in a readable state, or is stored in a downloadable state on another server or the like, and the downloaded programs are grouped. It may be stored in a storage unit (not shown) of the management control device 104.

[2] Control process executed by the control system [2-1] Switching process FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a switching process executed by the group management control device 104. The switching process is repeatedly executed by the switching process unit 104A of the group management control device 104 during the operation of the elevator.

When the switching process is started, the switching process unit 104A first sets the group management control device 104 to the manual registration mode, and substitutes the set registration mode into the variable X (step S201 in FIG. 4 X ← manual registration mode). ). Here, the variable X is a variable for representing the current registration mode set in the group management control device 104.

After step S201, the switching processing unit 104A simultaneously transmits a selection command signal (selection command signal S2 described later) to all the display devices 3 provided in the regulation device 101, thereby transmitting the selection command signal (described later) to all the display devices 3. , The second display function corresponding to the manual registration mode set in step S201 is selected all at once (step S202 in FIG. 4). That is, the switching processing unit 104A causes all the display devices 3 to select the same one display function (here, the second display function).

The steps S201 and S202 are steps for initializing the registration mode and the display function. In these steps, not only the above-mentioned initial settings but also the following initial settings may be executed. In step S201, the switching processing unit 104A may set the group management control device 104 to the automatic registration mode (X ← automatic registration mode). In this case, in step S202, the switching processing unit 104A simultaneously transmits a selection command signal (selection command signal S1 described later) to all the display devices 3 provided in the regulation device 101, thereby causing all the display devices. 3 is made to select the first display function corresponding to the automatic registration mode set in step S201 all at once.

After step S202, the switching processing unit 104A acquires the current time T (step S203 in FIG. 4). Then, the switching processing unit 104A acquires the registration mode (automatic registration mode or manual registration mode) to be set in the group management control device 104 at the acquired current time T, and substitutes the acquired registration mode into the variable Y ( Step S204 in FIG. 4). Here, the variable Y is a variable for representing the registration mode to be set in the group management control device 104 at the current time T.

Specifically, the group management control device 104 has the mode management data D3. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the mode management data D3. In the mode management data D3, a registration mode (automatic registration mode or manual registration mode) set in the group management control device 104 in the time zone is associated with each time zone. In the example of FIG. 5, a time zone from 7:00 to 9:00 (commuting time zone) is set as a time zone where congestion is expected, and while the automatic registration mode is associated with that time zone, other times. A manual registration mode is associated with the band.

Then, the switching processing unit 104A is set in the group management control device 104 at the current time T by reading the registration mode associated with the time zone to which the current time T acquired in step S201 belongs from the mode management data D3. Acquire the registration mode (automatic registration mode or manual registration mode) to be used.

After step S204, the switching processing unit 104A determines whether or not the variable Y (registration mode acquired in step S204) matches the variable X (current registration mode) (step S205 in FIG. 4). Then, when the switching processing unit 104A determines in step S205 that "they do not match (No)", the switching processing unit 104A acquires the registration mode set in the group management control device 104 in the registration mode assigned to the variable Y (in step S204). The registration mode is switched to (step S206 in FIG. 4). Further, the switching processing unit 104A replaces the value of the variable X with the value assigned to the variable Y (that is, the registration mode acquired in step S204) (X ← Y). On the other hand, when the switching processing unit 104A determines in step S205 that "matches (Yes)", it is not necessary to switch the registration mode (step S206), so the process returns to step S203.

After step S206, the switching processing unit 104A simultaneously executes switching of the display function of the display device 3 for all the display devices 3 (step S207 in FIG. 4). Specifically, the switching processing unit 104A simultaneously transmits the selection command signal to all the display devices 3, so that all the display devices 3 are simultaneously provided with the display functions corresponding to the registration modes acquired in step S204. Let me choose. That is, the switching processing unit 104A causes all the display devices 3 to simultaneously select the same one display function corresponding to the registration mode acquired in step S204 from the first display function and the second display function. Specifically, when the switching processing unit 104A selects the first display function corresponding to the automatic registration mode, the selection command signal S1 is simultaneously transmitted to all the display devices 3, and the first display function corresponding to the manual registration mode is supported. 2 When the display function is selected, the selection command signal S2 is transmitted to all the display devices 3 at the same time.

As a result, when the second display function is selected in all the display devices 3, those display functions are switched to the first display function all at once, and when the first display function is selected, the first display function is selected. , Those display functions are switched to the second display function all at once.

According to such a switching process, the display function is switched at the same time in all the display devices 3 according to the switching of the registration mode between the automatic registration mode and the manual registration mode. Then, after step S207, the process from step S203 is executed again.

[2-2] Call registration process <Automatic registration mode>
When the group management control device 104 is set to the automatic registration mode by the switching process described above, the first display function is selected as the display function of the display device 3. Then, the display device 3 displays a screen for making the user recognize that the call registration is performed in the automatic registration mode during the period when the group management control device 104 is set to the automatic registration mode. FIG. 6A is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display device 3 when the first display function is selected. In the example of FIG. 6A, in addition to the message for making the user recognize that the call registration is performed in the automatic registration mode, a message prompting the reading device 1 to read the recording medium Q is displayed on the screen. It is displayed.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a call registration process of the automatic registration mode executed by the group management control device 104. The call registration process is performed when the group management control device 104 receives information (management information Pj, initial setting floor Fd, disembarkation permission floor Fe, installation floor Fs, and device address Pa) from the security server 102. It is started by the call registration processing unit 104B of the device 104.

When the call registration process is started, the call registration processing unit 104B performs call registration using the initial setting floor Fd included in the above information (received information Pr) received from the security server 102 (step of FIG. 7). S301). Specifically, the call registration processing unit 104B allocates the initial setting floor Fd and the installation floor Fs included in the received information Pr to any one of the car 100 as the destination floor Fc1 and the departure floor Fc2, respectively.

After step S301, the call registration processing unit 104B sets the display device 2 of the regulation device 101 specified by the device address Pa included in the reception information Pr as information (display information) to be displayed on the display device 2. The management information Pj, the destination floor Fc1 (here, Fc1 = Fd), and the information of the car 100 assigned in step S301 (car information Pg) are transmitted (step S302 in FIG. 7). Then, when the display device 2 receives the above display information, the display device 2 displays the management information Pj, the destination floor Fc1, and the car information Pg on the screen.

According to the call registration process of such an automatic registration mode, when the passage of the regulation device 101 is permitted to the user, the initial setting is automatically performed without any subsequent operation of the user. Call registration using the floor Fd is executed. Then, the user can recognize the car 100 to be boarded by looking at the car information Pg displayed on the display device 2 when passing through the regulation device 101. Therefore, in the automatic registration mode, the passage of the regulation device 101 by the user becomes smooth. Then, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned switching process is executed so that the group management control device 104 is in the automatic registration mode during the time zone (commuting time zone) where congestion is expected. Therefore, even during congestion, the user is less likely to be congested in front of the regulation device 101.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display functions of the display devices 3 are switched all at once in conjunction with the switching of the registration mode in the group management control device 104. Therefore, when the group management control device 104 is set to the automatic registration mode, the display function becomes the first display function in all the display devices 3. Therefore, the user does not need to use the regulation device 101 properly according to the destination floor to which he / she is going. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to have a consciousness to distinguish them when the regulation device 101 passes, which is highly convenient.

<Manual registration mode>
When the group management control device 104 is set to the manual registration mode by the switching process described above, the second display function is selected as the display function of the display device 3. Then, the display device 3 waits until the disembarkation permission floor Fe is received from the group management control device 104 during the period when the group management control device 104 is set to the manual registration mode, and receives the disembarkation permission floor Fe. In this case, the disembarkation permission floor Fe is displayed in a selectable manner. FIG. 6B is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display device 3 and its change when the second display function is selected. Here, the left figure of FIG. 6B exemplifies a screen displayed while waiting until the disembarkation permission floor Fe is received, and the right figure of FIG. 6B shows the disembarkation permission floor Fe. The screen (destination floor selection screen) displayed when receiving is illustrated.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing a call registration process of the manual registration mode executed by the group management control device 104. The call registration process is performed when the group management control device 104 receives information (management information Pj, initial setting floor Fd, disembarkation permission floor Fe, installation floor Fs, and device address Pa) from the security server 102. It is started by the call registration processing unit 104B of the device 104.

When the call registration process is started, the call registration processing unit 104B includes the disembarkation permission floor Fe included in the above information (reception information Pr) received from the security server 102 in the same reception information Pr. It is transmitted to the display device 3 of the regulation device 101 specified by the device address Pa (step S401 in FIG. 8). At this time, the call registration processing unit 104B may also transmit the management information Pj and the like to the display device 3. Then, when the display device 3 receives the disembarkation permission floor Fe, the display device 3 displays the received disembarkation permission floor Fe in a selectable manner (step S501 in FIG. 8; see the right figure in FIG. 6B). In this way, the call registration processing unit 104B causes the display device 3 of the regulation device 101 specified by the device address Pa to selectively display the disembarkation permission floor Fe.

As a result, the user can select the destination floor Fc1 on the display device 3 (destination floor selection screen) when passing through the regulation device 101. The destination floor selection screen may display management information Pj and the like together with the disembarkation permission floor Fe (see the right figure in FIG. 6B). As a result, the user can confirm from the displayed management information Pj whether or not the displayed destination floor selection screen is a screen for selecting his / her own destination floor.

Then, when the user selects any one of the disembarkation permission floor Fe displayed on the display device 3 (destination floor selection screen) (in step S502 of FIG. 8, the display device 3 determines "Yes". When this is done), the display device 3 transmits the selected disembarkation permission floor Fe (hereinafter, referred to as “selection floor Fe0”) to the group management control device 104 (step S503 in FIG. 8). At this time, the display device 3 may also transmit the management information Pj or the like to the group management control device 104 so that the group management control device 104 can easily recognize which user the selected floor Fe0 belongs to. Good.

After step S401, the call registration processing unit 104B determines whether or not the selected floor Fe0 has been received from the display device 3 (step S402 in FIG. 8). Then, the call registration processing unit 104B repeatedly executes step S402 until it can be determined in step S402 that it has been "received (Yes)", and when it is determined in step S402 that it has been "received (Yes)", it has received it. Call registration is performed using the selection floor Fe0 (step S403 in FIG. 8). Specifically, the call registration processing unit 104B uses the received selection floor Fe0 and the installation floor Fs included in the reception information Pr as the destination floor Fc1 and the departure floor Fc2, respectively, as one of the car 100. Assign to.

After step S403, the call registration processing unit 104B sets the display device 2 of the regulation device 101 specified by the device address Pa included in the reception information Pr as information (display information) to be displayed on the display device 2. Information on the management information Pj, the destination floor Fc1 (here, Fc1 = Fe0), and the car 100 assigned in step S403 (car information Pg) is transmitted (step S404 in FIG. 8). Then, when the display device 2 receives the above display information, the display device 2 displays the management information Pj, the destination floor Fc1, and the car information Pg on the screen.

According to the call registration process of such a manual registration mode, the user can select the destination floor Fc1 from the disembarkation permission floor Fe displayed on the display device 3 when passing through the regulation device 101. Therefore, the user can move not only to the initial setting floor Fd but also to a floor different from the initial setting floor Fd. On the other hand, when the destination floor Fc1 can be selected on the display device 3, the time required for passing through the regulation device 101 tends to be long. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the above-mentioned switching process is executed so that the group management control device 104 enters the manual registration mode in a time zone other than the time zone (commuting time zone) where congestion is expected. Therefore, even if the time required for the regulation device 101 to pass is long, the user is unlikely to be congested in front of the regulation device 101.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display functions of the display devices 3 are switched all at once in conjunction with the switching of the registration mode in the group management control device 104. Therefore, when the group management control device 104 is set to the manual registration mode, the display function becomes the second display function in all the display devices 3. Therefore, the user does not need to use the regulation device 101 properly according to the destination floor to which he / she is going. Therefore, it is not necessary for the user to have a consciousness to distinguish them when the regulation device 101 passes, which is highly convenient.

[3] Modification example [3-1] First modification example In the control system described above, the timing is between the switching of the registration mode (step S206 in FIG. 4) and the simultaneous switching of the display functions (step S207 in FIG. 4). Misalignment occurs. Therefore, during the switching of the display function, the registration mode and the display mechanism may not correspond to each other, and if the regulation device 101 is allowed to pass at that time, the regulation device 101 is allowed to pass. The call registration method recognized by the user and the call registration method actually executed do not match.

Therefore, the group management control device 104 may restrict (prohibit) passage in all the regulating devices 101 provided with the display device 3 while the display function of the display device 3 is being switched. Hereinafter, a specific description will be given.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the switching process executed by the group management control device 104. In this modification, in order to regulate (prohibit) the passage of all the restricting devices 101 during the switching of the display function of the display device 3, the switching processing unit 104A determines in step S205 that "they do not match (No)". (That is, when it is determined that the registration mode needs to be switched), the switching start signal Sp1 is transmitted to the security server 102 before executing step S206 (switching of the registration mode) (step S211 in FIG. 9). ). Here, the switching start signal Sp1 is a signal informing that the group management control device 104 starts switching the registration mode.

At this time, the switching processing unit 104A further transmits the switching display signal Sp2 to all the display devices 3 at the same time, so that the passage of the regulation device 101 is restricted to all the display devices 3 and cannot be used. A notification screen for making the user recognize is displayed (step S212 in FIG. 9). FIG. 10A is a diagram showing an example of a notification screen displayed at that time.

When the security server 102 receives the switching start signal Sp1, the security server 102 controls all the regulation devices 101 at the same time, thereby causing the regulation devices 101 to regulate (prohibit) the passage of the user and maintain the state. (Step S111 in FIG. 9). At this time, the security server 102 may start the control to invalidate all the authentication of the identification information Pi read by the reading device 1.

After that, when the security server 102 can confirm that the regulation (prohibition) is maintained in all the regulation devices 101 (when it can be determined as "Yes" in step S112 of FIG. 9), the group management control device 104 The regulation completion signal Sp3 is transmitted to (step S113 in FIG. 9). As an example, the confirmation in step S112 is performed by determining whether or not a signal notifying the maintenance of regulation (prohibition) has been received from all the regulation devices 101.

After step S212, the switching processing unit 104A determines whether or not the regulation completion signal Sp3 has been received from the security server 102 (step S213 in FIG. 9). Then, the switching processing unit 104A repeatedly executes step S213 until it can be determined in step S213 that "received (Yes)", and when it is determined in step S213 that "received (Yes)", step S206 ( (Switching of registration mode) and step S207 (switching display functions all at once) are executed. Further, when step S207 is executed, the display of the notification screen (see FIG. 10A) on the display device 3 ends.

After step S207, when the switching processing unit 104A can confirm that the switching of the display functions has been completed in all the display devices 3 (when it can be determined as "Yes" in step S214 of FIG. 9), the security server 102 The switching completion signal Sp4 is transmitted to (step S215 in FIG. 9). As an example, the confirmation in step S214 is performed by determining whether or not a signal notifying the completion of switching has been received from all the display devices 3.

When the security server 102 receives the switching completion signal Sp4 (when it is determined as "Yes" in step S114 of FIG. 9), the security server 102 controls all the regulating devices 101 at the same time to regulate the regulating devices 101 (when it determines "Yes"). (Prohibition) is released (step S115 in FIG. 9). As a result, the regulation device 101 returns to the normal state. If the security server 102 has started the control for disabling all the authentication of the identification information Pi in step S111, the security server 102 enables the authentication of the identification information Pi and returns to the normal state.

According to such a control system, even if the registration mode and the display mechanism do not correspond to each other during the switching of the display function, the passage of the regulation device 101 is permitted during the switching. Absent. Therefore, it is unlikely that the call registration method recognized by the user when the regulation device 101 is passing and the call registration method actually executed do not match.

[3-2] Second Modified Example In response to the problem described at the beginning of the first modified example, the group management control device 104 performs call registration to be executed in the automatic registration mode and the manual registration mode while the display function is switched. May also be disabled.

According to such a control system, even if the registration mode and the display mechanism do not correspond to each other during the switching of the display function, the call registration is not executed during the switching. Therefore, the call registration method recognized by the user when the regulation device 101 is passing and the call registration method actually executed without temporarily changing the operation of the regulation device 101 as in the first modification. It is less likely that the situation will not match.

However, while the display function is being switched, a situation may occur in which the regulation device 101 is allowed to pass but the call registration does not occur. Therefore, the switching processing unit 104A simultaneously transmits the switching display signal Sp2 to all the display devices 3, and then uses the destination floor registration device at the landing after passing through the regulation device 101 to all the display devices 3. A notification screen may be displayed for the user to recognize that it is necessary to generate a call registration. FIG. 10B is a diagram showing an example of a notification screen displayed at that time.

[3-3] Other Modified Examples The control system described above is not limited to the one constructed without including the regulation device 101 and the security server 102, and may be constructed including at least a part thereof. Good. As an example, the mode management data D3 may be provided in the security server 102, or the above-mentioned switching process may be executed by a command of the security server 102. Further, the above-mentioned switching process may be executed by the security server 102, or may be shared and executed by the group management control device 104 and the security server 102.

Further, in the above-mentioned control system, not only when the display devices 2 and 3 are provided in the regulation device 101 as separate devices, only the display device 3 is provided in the regulation device 101, and the function of the display device 2 is provided in the display device 3. It may be realized by.

The scope of the present invention is indicated by the scope of claims, not by the above-described embodiment. Furthermore, the scope of the present invention is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.
