1-3. Various Functions of Call Registration System Next, functions of the call registration system 100 will be explained. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing functional blocks realized by the processor 36 of the control device 34 executing the call registration application. As shown in this figure, the control device 34 includes a call registration candidate display function section 341 that implements a call registration candidate display function, a call registration information reception function section 342 that implements a call registration information reception function, and a call registration information reception function section 342 that implements a call registration candidate display function. A call registration information transmitting function section 343 that realizes the function is provided.

1-3-1. Call Registration Candidate Display Function The call registration candidate display function unit 341 realizes a function of displaying an input screen including a display of call registration candidates on the display unit 321 of the mobile terminal 30. The display of call registration candidates here includes a departure floor display and an arrival floor display. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a departure floor display and an arrival floor display on the display unit 321 of the mobile terminal 30. This figure shows an example of the display on the display unit 321 when the call registration application is started. In the display section 321, the departure floor operation section 323 is a part that accepts an operation for scrolling and switching the floor of the departure floor displayed on the departure floor display 324 in an upward direction or a downward direction.

In other words, the arrival floor operation unit 325 has a function as the operation unit 322 that accepts a swipe operation on the screen by the user and performs a scroll operation of the arrival floor. In the example shown in this figure, the fourth floor is selected as the arrival floor.

1-3-2. Call Registration Information Reception Function The call registration information reception function section 342 realizes a function as a reception operation section that receives call registration information from the user. When the departure floor display 324 and the arrival floor display 326 are tapped on the display section 321, the displayed floors are determined as the departure and arrival floors for call registration. That is, the departure floor display 324 and the arrival floor display 326 function as an operation unit 322 that receives a tap operation by the user, receives call registration information, and performs an operation.

1-3-3. Call Registration Information Transmission Function The call registration information transmission function unit 343 realizes a function of transmitting the call registration information received by the call registration information reception function unit 342 to the management device 22 via the communication network 13.

1-4. Features of the call registration system according to the first embodiment Next, features of the call registration system 100 according to the first embodiment will be described. The call registration system 100 is characterized in that, in the call registration candidate display function, the default display of the departure floor display 324 and the arrival floor display 326 is a display that is highly convenient for the user. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, for example, if the user's previous departure floor was the 1st floor and the arrival floor was the 4th floor, the user completes his errands on the 4th floor and then returns to the 4th floor. It is thought that there is a high possibility that the person will return to the first floor.

Therefore, in the call registration system 100 of the first embodiment, the default display of the current departure floor display 324 and arrival floor display 326 is determined based on the call registration information transmitted in the previous call registration information transmission process. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a departure floor display and an arrival floor display on the display unit 321 of the mobile terminal 30. As shown in this figure, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 sets the default display of the current departure floor display 324 to the previous arrival floor, and sets the default display of the current arrival floor display 326 to the previous departure floor.

However, if the call registration application is started again immediately after executing the previous call registration information transmission process, the user will not be able to board the elevator 2 that was operated based on the call registration, and the call registration application will be started again. It is considered that there is a high possibility that this was done. Therefore, in the call registration system 100 of the first embodiment, if the call registration application is started again before a predetermined period of time has passed after the previous call registration information was accepted, the current departure The default displays of the floor display 324 and arrival floor display 326 are set to the previous departure floor and the previous arrival floor, respectively.

1-5. Specific Processing of Call Registration Processing Executed in Call Registration System 100 FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a routine of call registration processing executed in the call registration system 100 of the first embodiment. The call registration process is executed by the processor 36 of the control device 34 when the call registration application is activated by the user.

In step S100 of the routine shown in FIG. 7, it is first determined whether a first condition that is satisfied when a certain period of time has elapsed since the previous call registration was accepted is satisfied. The certain period of time here is a predetermined period of time that is required for the user to attempt the same call registration again if, for some reason, the user does not board the elevator 2 that was operated in accordance with the call registration. As a result, if the determination is found to be true, the process advances to step S102, and if the determination is not found to be true, the process advances to step S104.

In step S102, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 reads the previous departure floor and the previous arrival floor stored in the storage device 38. Then, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 sets the default display of the departure floor display 324 to the previous arrival floor, and sets the default display of the arrival floor display 326 to the previous departure floor.

In step S104, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 reads the previous departure floor and the previous arrival floor stored in the storage device 38. Then, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 sets the default display of the departure floor display 324 to the previous departure floor, and sets the default display of the arrival floor display 326 to the previous arrival floor.

After the process of step S102 or step S104 is performed, the process advances to step S106. In step S106, it is determined whether the call registration information receiving function unit 342 has received the call registration information. As a result, if the determination is not found to be true, the process of step S106 is repeatedly executed until the determination is found to be true.

If the determination is confirmed in step S106, the process proceeds to step S108. In step S108, the departure floor and previous arrival floor stored in the storage device 38 are updated to the departure floor and arrival floor of the call registration information received in the current routine.

According to the above-described call registration process, the user who performs call registration can complete the call registration without operating the departure floor operation section 323 and the arrival floor operation section 325 after starting the call registration application. The possibility of doing so increases. Thereby, the operational burden on the user who operates the mobile terminal to register a call can be reduced.

In addition, for example, when a user suddenly stops at a different floor from the departure floor when registering a return call, the user can easily change the arrival floor for the call registration by simply swiping the arrival floor operation section 325. can.

Furthermore, if the user is unable to board the elevator operated according to the call registration for some reason and starts the call registration application again, the user can complete the call registration without operating the departure floor operation section 323 and the arrival floor operation section 325. The possibility of being able to do so increases.

1-6. Modifications of Embodiment 1 The call registration system 100 of Embodiment 1 may be modified as follows. In addition, the following modification can also be applied to the call registration system of Embodiment 2 mentioned later.

1-6-1. Management device 22
In this embodiment, there is no limitation to the functional arrangement of the management device 22. That is, part or all of the functions of the management device 22 may be arranged in the control panel 10.

1-6-2. Call registration information reception function unit 342
The reception of call registration information from the user is not limited to the operation of tapping the departure floor display 324 and the arrival floor display 326, but may also be an operation of tapping a determination button separately provided on the display section 321, for example. Furthermore, acceptance of scroll operations on the departure floor display 324 and the arrival floor display 326 is not limited to the user's swipe operation, and may be realized by other operations.

1-6-3. Mobile terminal 30
The display unit 321 and the operation unit 322 of the mobile terminal 30 are not limited to the configuration as the touch panel display 32. That is, the display section 321 and the operation section 322 may be configured separately.

1-6-4. Control device 34
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a modification of the hardware resources of the control device 34. In the example shown in FIG. 8, the control device 34 includes a processing circuit 42 including, for example, a processor 36, a storage device 38, and dedicated hardware 40. FIG. 8 shows an example in which part of the functions of the control device 34 are realized by dedicated hardware 40. All of the functions of the control device 34 may be realized by dedicated hardware 40. The dedicated hardware 40 can be a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof.

Embodiment 2.
2-1. Configuration of Elevator Call Registration System According to Embodiment 2 FIG. 9 is a configuration diagram of an elevator call registration system according to Embodiment 2. The call registration system 200 of the second embodiment has the same system configuration as the call registration system 100 of the first embodiment, except that the mobile terminal 30 includes a position sensor 44. Descriptions of configurations common to call registration system 100 will be omitted.

The position sensor 44 is a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver that receives signals transmitted from a plurality of GPS satellites and calculates the position of the mobile terminal 30 based on the received signals. Information calculated by the position sensor 44 is sent to the control device 34.

2-2. Features of the call registration system of the second embodiment When a user of the elevator 2 moves outside the building 12 after getting off at the arrival floor, it is assumed that the user who returns to the building 12 will board the elevator 2 from the reference floor. be done. This situation can occur even if the floor the user last arrived at is not the reference floor, assuming that the user may use the stairs.

Therefore, the call registration system 200 of the second embodiment sets a second condition that is satisfied when there is no history of the user of the elevator 2 moving outside the building 12 after receiving the previous call registration as a condition included in the specified conditions. Default displays for the departure floor display 324 and the arrival floor display 326 are set depending on whether the condition is satisfied or not.

Specifically, when the call registration system 200 determines that the second condition is met, the user has not moved outside the building 12, so the call registration system 200 performs the same process as the call registration system 100 according to the first embodiment. conduct. On the other hand, if the call registration system 200 determines that the specified condition is not satisfied due to the failure of the second condition, the user who returns to the building 12 after moving outside the building 12 is likely to board from the standard floor. Therefore, the default display of the departure floor display 324 is set to the reference floor regardless of the previous arrival floor.

Further, in the case where it is determined that the specified condition is not satisfied due to the failure of the second condition, the call registration system 200 allows the user who has moved to the outside of the building 12 to return to the previous departure floor again if the previous arrival floor is the reference floor. It is determined that there is a high possibility of returning, and the default display of the arrival floor display 326 is set to the previous departure floor.

On the other hand, when the call registration system 200 determines that the specified condition is not satisfied due to the failure of the second condition, if the previous arrival floor is not the standard floor, the user uses the stairs from the conference room on the 8th floor, which is the arrival floor, for example. It is believed that the person then moved to the outside of the building. In this case, it is determined that there is a high possibility that the user who has returned to the building 12 will return to the 8th floor, which is the previous arrival floor, and the default display of the arrival floor display 326 is set to the previous arrival floor.

According to the operation of the call registration system 200, the default display of the departure floor display 324 and the arrival floor display 326 is set in consideration of whether the user of the elevator 2 has a history of moving outside the building 12. can do.

2-3. Specific Processing of Call Registration Processing Executed in Call Registration System 200 FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing a routine of call registration processing executed in the call registration system of the second embodiment. The call registration process is executed by the processor 36 of the control device 34 when the call registration application is activated by the user.

In steps S200 and S202 of the routine shown in FIG. 10, the same processes as steps S100 and S104 of the routine shown in FIG. 7 are executed. If the determination is confirmed in step S200, the process proceeds to step S204.

In step S204, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 acquires the movement history of the mobile terminal 30 from the previous position. FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing a data image stored in the storage device 38. The storage device 38 stores information regarding the previous position calculated by the position sensor 44 as various data. In step S204, the movement history of the mobile terminal 30 is acquired based on the position information calculated by the position sensor 44. When the process of step S204 is completed, the process advances to step S206.

In step S206, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 determines whether there is a history of movement from the previous position to the outside of the building 12, based on the movement history acquired in step S204. As a result, if the determination is not found to be true, the process advances to step S212, and if the determination is found to be true, the process advances to step S208.

In step S208, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 determines whether the previous arrival floor stored in the storage device 38 is the reference floor. As a result, if the determination is not found to be true, the process advances to step S210, and if the determination is found to be true, the process advances to step S212.

In step S210, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 reads the reference floor and the previous arrival floor stored in the storage device 38. Then, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 sets the default display of the departure floor display 324 to the reference floor, and sets the default display of the arrival floor display 326 to the previous arrival floor.

In step S212, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 reads the previous departure floor and the previous arrival floor stored in the storage device 38. Then, the call registration candidate display function unit 341 sets the default display of the departure floor display 324 to the previous arrival floor, and sets the default display of the arrival floor display 326 to the previous departure floor.

After the process of step S210, step S212, or step S202 is performed, the process proceeds to step S214. In step S214, it is determined whether the call registration information receiving function unit 342 has received call registration information. As a result, if the determination is not found to be true, the process of step S214 is repeatedly executed until the determination is found to be true.

If the determination is found to be valid in the process of step S214, the process proceeds to step S216. In step S216, the departure floor, previous arrival floor, and previous position stored in the storage device 38 are changed from the departure floor and arrival floor of the call registration information received in the current routine, and the position calculated by the position sensor 44. will be updated.

According to the above-described call registration process, even if the user who performs call registration moves outside the building 12, he or she can operate the departure floor operation section 323 and the arrival floor operation section 325 after starting the call registration application.
