It is assumed that the user identification information of the user is pre-registered in the storage means 38 . Furthermore, in the storage means 38, information such as apartment residents, buildings, tenants, etc., destination floors of users, etc. may be registered in advance in association with user identification information.

Here, the comparison and collation refers to searching whether or not the user identification information received from the attribute reading means 36 exists in the identification information list stored in advance in the storage means 38 .
The user identification information is compared and collated, and if the user has been registered in advance, the process proceeds to step S4. (YES in step S3)
If the user has not been registered in advance, the process returns to step S1. (NO in step S3)

In step S4, the elevator control panel 7 moves the car 1 to the floor of the hall 30 for which the attribute authentication means 39 determines that the user has been registered in advance.

In step S5, the car 1 reaches the floor of the landing 30 and the door opening/closing control device 6 opens the door 9 of the car. After that, the elevator user authenticated in step 3 gets inside the car 1 .

In step S<b>6 , the door control means 50 detects the user's door closing request by means of the door closing request means 22 inside the car 1 . When the door close button is pressed, it is determined that the following elevator users do not want to use the elevator (ride together).

The signal transmitted from the door closing request means 22 to the door control means 50 may include information on the degree of door closing request, such as the time or interval at which the door closing button is pressed.
Determination of the user's degree of request to close the door is based on the fact that the door close button is continuously pressed. For example, when the door close button is continuously pressed for two seconds or more, it is determined that the user's request to close the door is high. Further, the case where the door close button is pressed multiple times may be used as the determination criterion. For example, when the door close button is pressed three times or more, it is determined that the user's request to close the door is high.

In order to determine that the user inside the car 1 does not want to ride together, the car notification means 26 installed inside the car 1 may be used. The car notification means 26 displays an image of the hall 30 including a person who is going to get on in the direction of the elevator by means of a hall photographing means 32 installed in the hall 30 .

The car notification means 26 notifies the user inside the car 1 to prompt the user to close the door. With this notification, the user inside the car 1 can quickly perform an operation to avoid riding together.

The door control means 50 may receive a signal from the sound collecting means 27 instead of the door closing request means 22 and make a determination.
The sound collecting means 27 recognizes the voice of the user inside the car 1 and transmits a signal for requesting door closing to the door control means 50 .

If the door close button has been pressed, the process proceeds to step S7. (YES in step S6)
If the door close button has not been pressed, the process proceeds to step S12. (NO in step S6)

In step S<b>7 , the door control means 50 receives the number of passengers inside the car 1 detected by the passenger detection means 20 .
If the number of passengers is one, the process proceeds to step S8. (YES in step S7)
If the number of passengers is not 1, the process proceeds to step S12. (NO in step S7)

In step S8, the attribute authentication means 39 determines whether or not the elevator user has predetermined user identification information (predetermined attribute). If the user identification information and the user identification information of the user stored in advance in the storage means 38 match, the attribute authentication means 39 proceeds to step S9. (YES in step S8)
Here, the predetermined attribute is an attribute such as male/female, child, elderly, etc. registered in advance in the user identification information.
If the user of the elevator does not have the predetermined user identification information (predetermined attribute), the process proceeds to step S12. (NO in step S8)

In step S<b>8 , the door control means 50 receives the authentication result of the attribute authentication means 39 and transmits the reception result to the car notification means 26 or hall notification means 31 .
Further, the door control means 50 may use the car notification means 26 to notify the user of the elevator of the authentication result.
Furthermore, the door control means 50 invalidates the door opening request from the landing 30 .

In step 9, the door control means 50 transmits a first door closing command to the door opening/closing control device 6, and the door opening/closing control device 6 starts closing the door 9 of the car and the door 10 of the landing. do.
Here, the first door closing command is to close the car door 9 at the rated door closing speed when using the elevator.

Further, in step S9, when the degree of door closing request transmitted from the door closing request means 22 is high, a second door closing command different from the first door closing command is transmitted to the door opening/closing control device 6. .
Here, the second door closing command is a door closing command for the door opening/closing control device 6 to close the car door 9 faster than the rated door closing speed.
Upon receiving the second door closing command transmitted from the door control means 50, the door opening/closing control device 6 speeds up the door closing operation. As a result, there is an effect that the users inside the car 1 can improve the avoidance of riding together with the following users.

The car notification means 26 notifies the user inside the car 1 of the content of the alert. For example, the car notification means 26 notifies the user inside the car 1 that the door closing speed of the car door 9 should be increased.

A hall notification means 31 installed in the hall 30 alerts users in the hall 30 including a person who is going to board the elevator in the direction of the elevator.
The content of the alert is information such as prohibiting reopening of the door and increasing the closing speed of the door 9 of the car.
Here, re-opening means that the operation of closing the door 9 of the car is changed to the operation of opening the door 9 while the door opening/closing control device 6 is performing the operation of closing the door 9 of the car.

In step S10, when the subsequent user uses the attribute reading means 36 or the call registration means 37 to board, the door opening/closing control device 6 controls the door control means 50 when the door opening is prohibited by the door control means 50. , the door opening/closing control device 6 continues the door closing operation without opening the door again, and proceeds to step S11.

In step S11, the door opening/closing control device 6 causes the door 9 of the car to be fully closed.
After the car doors 9 are fully closed, the elevator control panel 7 moves the elevator car 1 to the destination floor desired by the user.

In step S12, after the elevator car 1 arrives at the hall 30, the door opening/closing control device 6 keeps the door 9 of the car open for a standard door open holding time.

In step S13, the door control means 50 transmits a command to the door opening/closing control device 6 to validate the door opening request.

As described above, the elevator control apparatus according to the first embodiment has a predetermined attribute, and when a pre-registered user uses the elevator alone, after getting into the car 1, the door is closed. When the button is pressed, it is determined that the subsequent user does not want to ride with the passenger. The door control means 50 invalidates the door opening request from the hall 30 and prohibits the door opening/closing control device 6 from opening the door again, thereby avoiding riding together.

Furthermore, the user inside the car 1 can use the elevator by checking the appearance of the landing 30 displayed on the car notification means 26. - 特許庁In addition, the car notification means 26 functions to avoid riding together by notifying the user inside the car 1 of "re-opening of the door is prohibited", "the door closing speed is being increased", and the like. There is an effect that it can be confirmed that it is doing.

The door control means 50 uses the hall notification means 31 to notify the user of the hall 30 of the state in which the reopening of the door is prohibited or the state in which the door closing speed is increased.
The notification by the hall notification means 31 has the effect of alerting the user heading inside the car 1 from the hall 30 not to touch the door 10 of the hall.

In the above example, the door-close request means 22 may provide a display function for the door-close button, and light the button light when the elevator user presses the door-close button. As for the lighting condition of the button light, the door control means 50 may compare and verify the user identification information, and the button light may be turned on when the user is registered in advance. This lighting of the button light enables the user who does not want to ride with the following user to recognize the position of the door closing request means 22 and to speed up the door closing operation.

In the above example, the sound collecting means 27 may be used to register the destination floor by voice of the user inside the car 1 . For example, after recognizing predetermined words such as "beginning" and "registration", the sound collecting means 27 shifts to the recognition method of categorical registration. After that, the sound collecting means 27 recognizes the voice of the target floor such as "2nd floor" and "5th floor" uttered by the user.
