The operation of the hall device 13 shown in FIG. 10 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 11 to 21. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing another example of the operation of the hall device 13. 12 to 18 are diagrams for explaining other operation examples of the hall device 13.

In the hall device 13, it is determined whether or not input of the destination floor to the operating device 21 has been started (S101). A user who wishes to move to another floor operates the operating device 21 at the landing 8. For example, if the user wants to move to an upper floor, the user touches the operating device 21-1, the operating device 21-2, or the operating device 21-3 and swipes his or her finger upward. If the user wants to move downward, he or she can swipe his or her finger downward. When the determination processing unit 31 determines that the swipe operation as described above has been performed on the operating device 21, the determination is Yes in S101.

If the determination is Yes in S101, the display control unit 32 displays destination floor candidates in the direction specified by the user on the operating device 21 (S102). In S102, when the user swipes his or her finger upward, destination floor candidates above the landing 8 are displayed on the operating device 21. When the user swipes his or her finger downward, destination floor candidates below the landing 8 are displayed on the operating device 21.

FIG. 12 shows a state in which destination floor candidates are displayed on the operating device 21-1 by the user swiping his or her finger upward. In the example shown in FIG. 12, the seventh floor is a non-stop floor. The determination processing unit 31 identifies non-stop floors based on information from the group management device 14. Furthermore, if you want to move to a floor above the 8th floor, you can scroll the destination floor candidates by swiping your finger further upwards. FIG. 12 also shows an example in which the user swipes upward with a finger touching the operating device 21-2.

When destination floor candidates are displayed in S102, it is determined whether the destination floor has been determined (S103). For example, when the user's finger leaves the operating device 21 at a position indicating "9", the determination processing unit 31 determines that the destination floor is the ninth floor. As a result, a determination of Yes is made in S103. In this example, the user can input the destination floor with a single swipe operation.

If the determination is Yes in S103, the communication unit 33 transmits a registration request for a hall destination call to the group management device 14 (S104). Moreover, if it is determined Yes in S103, the display control unit 32 displays the determined destination floor on the operating device 21 (S105).

13 to 18 show examples of displaying the destination floor in S105. Note that in FIGS. 13 to 18, illustration of a part of the hall device 13 is omitted.

If it is determined Yes in S103, the display control unit 32 first erases the display of floors other than the floor determined as the destination floor among the destination floor candidates scrolling and displaying them, as shown in FIG. Display the destination floor above the direction button. FIG. 13 shows an example where the destination floor is the 9th floor. This display is performed only for a preset first time. The first time is, for example, 1 second.

Next, the display control unit 32 displays the destination floor in each upward button of the operating device 21, as shown in FIG. In the example shown in this embodiment, the determined destination floor is displayed in the up button of the operating device 21-1, the up button of the operating device 21-2, and the up button of the operating device 21-3. Ru. This display is performed for a preset second time period. The second time is, for example, 1 second.

Next, the display control unit 32 displays the determined destination floor next to the upward button of the operating device 21-1, as shown in FIG. The display shown in FIG. 15 may be performed by registering a corresponding call in the group management device 14.

FIG. 16 shows an example in which the 12th floor is determined as a new destination floor in S103 when the 8th, 9th, 11th, and 13th floors have already been registered as destination floors. If there is no space next to the upward button to display a new destination floor, a display may be made to indicate that there is a destination floor that cannot be displayed, as shown in FIG. 17. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the destination floors closest to the relevant floor are displayed as much as possible, and the presence of destination floors that cannot be displayed is indicated by displaying "...". The number of destination floors that can be displayed next to the up button is set in advance.

FIG. 18 shows an example in which registered destination floors are scrolled and displayed by the user swiping his or her finger to the left from the state shown in FIG. 17. In the example shown in Figure 18, as the destination floors are scrolled, the display indicating "8" and "9" disappears, and "..." is displayed to indicate that there is a destination floor that cannot be displayed below the 11th floor. It is shown by doing.

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing another example of the operation of the hall device 13. FIG. 19 shows an operation flow when canceling a destination floor that has already been registered. 20 and 21 are diagrams for explaining other operational examples of the hall device 13.

In the hall device 13, it is determined whether the display of the registered destination floor has been pressed and held (S201). When the user wishes to cancel the registered destination floor, the user presses and holds the display of the destination floor to be canceled. FIG. 20 shows a state in which the user is holding down the display of "11" on the operating device 21-1. For example, when the determination processing unit 31 determines that the display of "11" has been pressed for a long time, the determination is Yes in S201.

If it is determined Yes in S201, the display control unit 32 displays the long-pressed destination floor in a flashing manner (S202). At this time, the display of the destination floor that has not been pressed for a long time will not blink. This blinking display is performed only for a preset third time. The third time is, for example, 5 seconds.

Next, the determination processing unit 31 determines whether or not the operating device 25 is operated before the third time period elapses (S203). If the operating device 25 is operated before the third time period has elapsed, a determination of Yes is made in S203. That is, if the user touches the operating device 25 while the display of "11" is blinking, it is determined as Yes in S203.

On the other hand, if the third period of time has elapsed without any operation of the operating device 25, the determination in S204 is Yes. If the determination is Yes in S204, the display control unit 32 lights up and displays the destination floor that was blinked in S202 (S205). If the determination in S204 is Yes, the registration of the destination floor is not cancelled.

If the determination is Yes in S203, a process is performed to cancel the registration of the selected destination floor, that is, the long-pressed destination floor. Specifically, if the determination is Yes in S203, the communication unit 33 transmits a cancellation request to the group management device 14 to cancel the registration of the destination floor (S206). Thereby, the group management device 14 determines whether or not the corresponding call can be canceled.

When the cancellation request is sent in S206, the determination processing unit 31 determines whether the corresponding call has been canceled in the group management device 14 (S207). When the group management device 14 cancels the corresponding call in response to the received cancellation request, it transmits a signal to that effect to the hall device 13. When the hall device 13 receives the signal, it is determined as Yes in S207.

On the other hand, if the group management device 14 does not respond to the received cancellation request and does not cancel the corresponding call, it transmits a signal to that effect to the hall device 13. When the hall device 13 receives the signal, it is determined as No in S207. If the determination in S207 is No, the process in S205 is performed.

If the determination is Yes in S207, the display control unit 32 erases the display of the destination floor whose registration has been canceled (S208). FIG. 21 shows a state where the registration for the 11th floor has been canceled from the state shown in FIG.
