The picture pattern is displayed by assuming that one display module (16 vertically x 16 horizontally) has dots (red and green LEDs) lined up in 16 vertical columns, and the vertical dots are further divided into 4 sections of 4 dots each. , displays the LEDs lit in each ward in hexadecimal. Then, the hexadecimal numbers are arranged in order from the upper section to the lower section. In this way, all 16 columns are coded. Each dot is red.

Since there are two green LEDs, coding is done for both LEDs. By controlling the blinking of red and green LEDs, figures and patterns are displayed in four colors: red, orange, green, and ground color.

8 Must-have sauce■ Next, the information necessary for display will be explained.

General information and elevator operation information are displayed in the same format. The difference is that general information is created on the PC 2 immediately before display depending on the display content, whereas elevator operation information is stored on the IC cards 22 and 23. teeth,
Again, it must be created in advance on a computer, etc., and an IC card 22.
It is stored in 23.

General information includes general information, common information, and emergency information. The general-purpose information is information that does not change at any time and is specific to the building in which the elevator is installed, and is related to the theme of the meeting, the date and time of the meeting, the menu of the cafeteria, and other information about the entertainment in the building. Common information is information that is common to each building and changes from time to time.

This is the kind of news that is broadcast on weather forecasts or radio or television receivers. The emergency information is information when the elevator becomes unusable, and is related to display guidance in the event of a disaster such as an earthquake or fire, or a malfunction.

Elevator operation information is information that represents the current operating status of each elevator corner, including the passenger congestion rate in the car, waiting time, etc.
The information includes the current position, traveling direction, etc.

Each piece of information is assigned a screen number for each screen shown on the display panel 2407. Screen numbers are prioritized, and examples of priority include tension information, elevator operation information, common information,
It can be defined as general-purpose information. Also, screen number 1
~20 is general information, 21~40 is common information, 41~50
If the information is allocated such that 51 to 60 are elevator operation information and 51 to 60 are emergency information, confusion will not occur when changing the information.

This information may be displayed in text, figures,
It may be displayed using a pictorial pattern, or even characters, figures, and a pictorial pattern may be displayed at the same time.

Therefore, next, the format of information necessary for display will be explained.

The information required for display is 1 display data, display screen editing data, schedule data, and files.

Note that all of this information is digitally encoded.

These will be explained individually below.

First, display data relates to the content to be displayed, and a registration number is assigned to each display content.

As shown in FIG. 5, one piece of display data consists of registration designation, registration number 1 screen size data, and display content data.

The No. 8 designation specifies whether the content to be displayed is text or graphics.

When each LED on the display panel 2407 of the display device 2400 in FIG. 4 is represented by dots in the X and Y directions as shown in FIG. 6, the screen size data is calculated by the number of dots XL in the X direction and the number of stages YL in the Y direction This specifies the screen size. In the case of character data, 8 (XLK160.YL=1.2.
3, and in the case of graphic data, 1<XL<160. YL
=1°2.3.

The display content data is character data or graphic data. As described above, the character data is designated character codes of JIS 1st level and 2nd level kanji, alphanumeric characters, and kana. Character commands are attached to character data. The character command is attached to the beginning of the specified character code, and as shown in Table 1, specifies the type of character.

Table 1 This field is left blank because it is

When displaying characters, command display data is further created as necessary.

Command display data is scroll display data.

This is flicker display data.

The scroll display data specifies that a specified text be displayed by scrolling (fluidly displaying) characters within the registered screen size, and the codes are determined as shown in Table 2.

This specifies that the characters in the box are to be blinked using the commands in Table 3.

Table 3 In Tables 2 and 3, the code column is left blank because it can be specified arbitrarily.

Next is the graphic data for displaying figures and pictures, which, as mentioned above, consists of 16 vertical LEDs for each of the red and green LEDs.
Each dot in the column is encoded by representing every four dots in hexadecimal in the vertical direction.

FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b) each show an example of display content data when two characters and figures (picture patterns) are displayed.

In addition, the characters 2 displayed as the registration number in Figures 8 to 10
An example of the relationship between figures is shown.

Figure 8 shows the position of the car in letters, Figure 9 shows the degree of crowding of passengers in the car in figures, and Figure 10 shows the direction of travel of the car and the position of the car in figures. Since the open side of these changes depending on the operating status of the elevator, various characters and 2 figures are prepared to cope with the changes, and each is given a registration number.

In addition, display data of a basic registration number to be used as a registration number constituting display screen editing data to be described later is created.

The basic registration number is 40.10.2 in Figures 8 to 10.
It is 0.

Next, display screen editing data will be explained.

As described above, each screen displayed on the display panel 2407 is assigned a screen number. The number of characters or figures displayed on one screen, that is, the number of registrations, is determined by the number of registration numbers of the displayed characters or figures. The display starting points X and Y on the display panel 2407 of each display data registered in one screen are determined. Referring to Figure 6, the starting point is 1<X≦-153, Y=1 for character data.
゜17.33, and in the case of graphic data 1×X (160
, Y=1,17.33.

When displaying elevator operation information, the basic registration number is used as the registration number. This is because the displayed content changes, that is, the registration number is replaced, as will be described later, depending on the operating status of the elevator corner.

FIG. 11 shows an example of the structure of display screen editing data.

Note that the registration designation in FIG. 11 is a code for clarifying that it is display screen editing data.

FIG. 12 shows the allocation status of information displayed on the display panel 2407 when the display of screen number 10 consists of four pieces of display data (registration numbers 2, 5, 40.50), that is,
This shows the screen editing status.

Furthermore, schedule data will be explained.

The schedule data specifies the display order 9 display time 9 the number of display repetitions regarding the display of general-purpose information and common information using the screen number of each display screen editing data. Allows you to change partial display content on the screen.
For each screen number, add the registration number before change and the registration number after change. A registration number presence/absence flag is also provided to indicate whether or not the screen number is for changing the registration number. Schedule data is created for each display 24-31. As shown in FIG. 13, the schedule data consists of a schedule management table and a schedule screen table, and in the schedule management table, what is being displayed is flagged.

Finally, I will explain files.

Elevator control device! The operating status of the elevator sent from 10.11 to the information display control device 18.19 is once sent to the information display control bag [18, 19, and then sent to the information display control device 111.
8. Hall call floor table, car position table, waiting time and minute table, car running direction table, and signal detection table in the memory of 8.19.

It is stored in a car congestion degree table, etc. Files are used to convert these operating conditions into a format that can be displayed as operating information: display number, file, screen number file, registration number change file, direction file, waiting time file, and car congestion degree file.

There are time screen search files, priority judgment files, etc.

The relationship between these tables and files will be explained in the display description below.

In addition to the above-mentioned various files, what is stored in the IC cards 22 and 23 is display data such as graphic data that is difficult to quickly create on the personal computer 2.

These are display data that can be commonly used in each building and whose format is fixed to some extent, data that displays the operating status of elevators, and display screen editing data and schedule data for these display data.

In particular, the reason why the data that displays the operating status of the elevator is stored in the IC card is that if you are requested to change the display format and try to quickly create the data on the PC 2,
This is because it may cause confusion and destroy valid data.

That is, it is easy to create data calmly in advance and store it in the memory of an IC card, and to change the display format, it is only necessary to replace the IC card, data is not destroyed, and it is clear and Displays that match the operating status of the elevator can be displayed.

The display on the display panel 2407 is arranged in the display order of the display modules arranged in the order, for example, from the top left corner to the top right corner, then from the middle left corner to the middle right corner, and from the bottom left corner to the bottom right corner. If you decide on a certain number and arrange the data belonging to each screen number in that order, it will look better when displayed.

1st Day of the Display Flow Next, the display flow will be briefly explained based on FIG. 14.

First, in step 1, information (data) necessary for display is created using the personal computer 2 shown in FIG. On the other hand, in step 1a, information necessary for display on a personal computer (not shown in FIG. 1) is created and stored in the IC cards 22 and 23. Next, in step 2, the computer 2. IC card 22
．． 23, the data is transmitted to information display control devices 18 and 19.

In step 3, the information display devices 18 and 19 store a portion of the transmitted data in their own memory, and in step 4, the information display devices 18 and 19 transmit the remaining data to each display 24 to 31 for storage.

Steps 2 to 4 above are repeated depending on the buffer capacity of the memory of the information display control device 18, 19 (details will be explained later).

Next, in step 5, the information display control devices 18, 19 issue display commands to each of the displays 24-31. Based on this command, each display 24 to 31 independently performs the following steps in step 6.
Perform display.

Therefore, the relationship between the information display control device 18, 19 and each display 24 to 31 will be explained below.

The functions and operations of the information display device EZ18.19 will be explained. Broadly speaking, the information display control devices 1118 and 19 input information necessary for display from the personal computer 2 and the IC card 22 and 23, store some of it, and store the remaining information on the display 24.
- 31 and stored in the memories of the displays 24 - 31 (data input/output control), and the information necessary to display these and the elevator control system [elevator operation coming in from 10, 11, etc.] Displaying necessary guidance on the 1 displays 24 to 31 based on information regarding the situation, etc.
guidance display control).

First, data input/output control of the IC cards 22 and 23 (steps 2 to 4 in FIG. 13) will be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3.

By inserting the IC card 22 into the connector 1813, each bus 2203 to 2205 of the IC card 2200
and bus 1814 on board 1802 connects to connector 2202
．． 1813.

The MPU 1815 on the board 1802 has a memory 1816
A control program within the decoder 2206 sends a signal indicating data reading and a signal specifying a large number of RAMs in the memory 22o1 of the IC card 2200 to the decoder 2206. Therefore, the decoder 2206 puts the designated RAM in a read state. Next, the designated RAM address is sent via the address bus 2204 to designate the reading start address. And the specified RAM.

Data transmission unit 1817゜18 data at address
11, and transmitted to the board 1801 side via interfaces 1818 and 1812. The memory 181o of the board 1801 has a buffer section and a registration section, and the MPU 1809
stores some of the sent data in the buffer section. When the buffer section becomes full, the MPU 1809 divides the data into one to be transferred to the registration part and the other to be transmitted to the memory 2405 of the display device 2400, and stores the data in each of them. When the buffer section becomes empty, data from the board 1802 side is stored again. After repeating this process and completing reading and transmitting display data, nine display screen editing data, schedule data files, etc. are read, stored, and transmitted in sequence.

Information (data) necessary for display created on PC 2
interface 1803 by MPU 1809
．． Data is read into the buffer section of the memory 1810 via the data transmission section 1807 and stored in the registration section through the same processing as data from the IC card 22.
Reading and storing all data, dividing it into those sent to the 400 side,
Perform transmission.

When the IC card 22 or 23 is replaced, the data of the new IC card is simply stored at the address on each memory where the data of the old IC card was stored, and the data is not input from the PC 2 side. The data contained in the data is not erased in any way.

Therefore, the data input from the IC cards 22 and 23 can be freely exchanged based on opinions from passengers and the like. Of course, when changing the data from the personal computer 2 side, the data entered from the IC card side will not be erased, so the data can be changed freely from the personal computer 2 side as well.

What is stored in the registration section of the memory 1810 of the board 1801 is the registration number in the display data.

The screen number, schedule data, and file data in the display screen edit data are the display data and display screen edit that are stored in the memory on the display device 2400 side.

That is, what is stored in the memory 1810 of the information display control device 1800 is for issuing display commands, and what is stored in the memory 2405 of the display 2400 is related to the information to be displayed.

This means that when the information display control bag ff11800 issues a display command to each display, the display determines the content to be displayed based on the command and displays it. When displaying, as little data as possible is sent from the information display control device to each display so that the elevator can quickly respond to operating conditions.

Next, the operation 1 function of each display device 24 to 31 that receives a display command from the information display control device 18, 19 will be explained.

In FIG. 4, the MPU 2404 is connected to the interface 2401. Data transmission section 2
Display data sent via 402.

The display screen editing data is stored in the memory 2405.

When a display command is sent from the information display control device 18 along with the designation of a certain screen number.

The MPU 2404 detects this command, and the memory 2405
Find the screen number from the display edit data inside. Further, the liver υ 2404 extracts the registration number of the display data constituting the screen of that screen number and its starting point data from the display screen editing data.

If a registration number change order has been issued,
Next, the MPU 24Q4 converts the retrieved pre-change registration number into a post-change registration number. Next, the MPU 24Q4 converts the screen size data of each registration number retrieved from the display data in the memory 2405,
Extract display content data. And finally, MPU24
04 displays the display content data on the display panel 2407 from the starting point indicated by the starting point data with the screen size indicated by the screen size data.

Each display 24 to 26, 30.27 to 29.31 is connected in parallel to the information display control device 18, 19 by a cable, so the information display control device 18.19 determines which display to display. In order to make it clear whether the command is for display on a device, a display device number is coded and attached to the command. Therefore, the MPU 1809 of each display device looks at the code and takes in data only when it determines that it is relevant to itself.

Next, the operation for displaying the information display control bags [18, 19, and indicators 24 to 31] related to the operating status of elevator car i3.9 will be described.

When the storage and storage of information (data) necessary for display is completed, the MPU 1809 of the information display control device 18.19 displays a schedule of general-purpose information and common information.

Therefore, the schedule display of this information will be explained below.

The MPU 1809 of the information display control device 1800 is the memory 1
1 from the schedule data shown in Figure 13 in 810
The display time 1 screen number of the order 1 of the schedule data on the floor display 2400 is extracted. Then, set 1 to the display flag. Check the registration number presence/absence flag, and if this flag is not set, issue a command to display the display data of that screen number on the display on the first floor. When the registration number presence/absence flag is set, a command is issued to display the display data of that screen number on the display on the first floor, and a command is issued to change the current registration number of the display data of that screen number to the registered number after the change. , Similarly, a command to display the first schedule data is issued to the display devices on the second and third floors, which are successively higher floors.

After that, each time the display time of order 1 of each display of the read schedule data elapses, the screen number 1 of the first order is displayed.
The display time is read and a display command is issued to the display on each floor using the same process as the display command in order 1. However, if the display commands are issued at the same time, each display is prioritized and the display command is issued first to the display with a higher priority.

When the schedule data has been read to the end, look at the column for specifying the number of repetitions of the schedule data and issue an instruction to go back and display the beginning of the schedule data for the number of repetitions.

Next, we will explain how to issue a display command when a call button is pressed at a landing on a certain floor.

Hall call information generated by pressing any of the call buttons 12-17 is first transmitted to the elevator control devices 10-11, and then to the information display control devices 18-19. In the elevator control device 10, 11, based on the depression of the call buttons 12 to 17, the elevator controller 10, 11 takes steps to service the elevator car 8, 9 to the called platform, as is known in the art.

Now, in the information display control device 1800, as shown in FIG. 15, in the hall call floor table in the memory 1810, a flag 1 is set for the floor that is called.

Next, the display number corresponding to the floor flagged in the hall call floor table is retrieved from the display number file in the memory 1810, thereby determining the display that issues the display command. In addition, as shown in FIG. 16, the memory 1810
Extract the screen number corresponding to the floor flagged in the hall call floor table from the screen number search file in .

As described above, the number of the screen to be used for the display 2400 of the floor (platform) where the hall call was made has been determined.

Assuming that the specified screen includes a car position display, a traveling direction display, a waiting time display, and a car congestion level display, these displays will be explained below.

Firstly, regarding the display of the car position, as shown in FIG. Flag the floor.

Then, from the registration number change file in the memory 1809, the after-change registration number and the before-change registration number corresponding to the floor flagged in the car position table are retrieved. Note that since this is the first change, the registration number before change is the basic registration number used when creating one display screen edit data. Next, some R8s belonging to the screen numbers that have already been taken out
From the number.

Find the registration number related to car position display and issue a command to use the above-mentioned changed registration number. Then, a command to display the above screen number is issued. These commands are issued to the display with the display number taken out in advance, but if the command is to be displayed on the displays on all floors related to the called car, the commands attached to each display Items will be released in order of priority.

Every time the position of an elevator corner changes, a flag is set on the corresponding floor in the car position table and other flags are cleared. Then, through the above process, a command to use the changed registration number is issued.

On each display device side, based on the above command, display data corresponding to the registration number is read from the memory 2405 and guidance is displayed from the display panel 2407.

Next, the driving direction display will be explained.

Based on the traveling direction information of the elevator corner obtained from the elevator control device 10, the memory 18 is stored as shown in FIG.
A flag is set in a running direction table in 10 corresponding to the running direction. Then, the after-change registration number and the before-change registration number for the current elevator direction are retrieved from the direction file in the memory 1810. A command is issued to extract the registration number related to the traveling direction from the previously extracted screen number and change it to the changed registration number. Each time the elevator travel direction changes, the above process is performed, and the display 2400 displays the travel direction based on the change command.

Next, the waiting time and minutes display will be explained.

Based on the elevator waiting time information obtained from the elevator control device 10, the memory 18 is stored as shown in FIG.
The waiting time is written in each floor of the hall waiting time table related to the previously called display number in 1o. Then, from the waiting time file, extract the post-change registration number and pre-change registration number corresponding to the floor on which the waiting time has been written. Regarding the registration number related to the waiting time among the screen numbers extracted in advance, Issue a directive to use the revised registration number. Then, a command is issued to display the screen number that has already been taken out. The display displays the waiting time based on the above instructions. In the above process, the elevator moves.

Every time the waiting time changes, the hall waiting time table is rewritten and the display from the display is changed.

Finally, the degree of car congestion will be explained.

The memory 1810 includes a heel congestion degree table, in which the car congestion degree is written, for example, in terms of the total load of passengers in the car, based on information from the elevator control device 10.

There is a car congestion degree file in the memory 1810, and from this file, the registration number after change and u before change of the current car congestion degree are obtained.
Take out number 8. Next, a command is issued to use the changed registration number regarding the registration number for the car congestion degree among the screen numbers already taken out. Then, a command is issued to the display unit to display the above screen number. Every time passengers get on and off each floor and the degree of congestion changes, processing is performed to display the changed registration number.

The combination of general-purpose information, common information, etc. and elevator operation information will be explained.

If there is a waiting time for a car to arrive at the landing area after the call button is pressed at the landing area, as shown in Fig. 21(a), only the driving direction guidance and general information information will be displayed. When the elevator corner is about to arrive, all operating information is displayed as shown in Figure 21 (b), and when the elevator car arrives at the called platform,
If you want to configure the screen to display elevator operating information and general information as shown in Figure 21(c), as shown in Figure 22, the screen number at each point in time is displayed as the hall call floor table, hall waiting Using the hour/minute table, the open side can be retrieved from the time screen number search file and the retrieved screen number can be transmitted to the display. In addition, in Fig. 21, the part A1 is the running direction of the car, and the part A2 is general information or
Driving information.

The area A3 is an area indicating the degree of congestion, and the characters in parentheses indicate the content to be scrolled.

Also, if you want to display each piece of information separately, as shown in Figure 22, by changing the registration number of the display data belonging to each screen number, the display can be made according to the waiting time, that is, the position of the car. be able to.

An example thereof is shown in FIG. In FIG. 23, (a) shows the case when the waiting time is above tl, (b) shows the case when the waiting time is less than 11 and more than t2, and (c) shows the case when the waiting time is less than t2 and more than ta.

FIG. 24 shows a flow of display based on priority determination.

The MPU 1809 of the information display control device 18oO stores the elevator control device 1 in the signal detection table in the memory 1810.
Set a flag for the signal input from 0. If there is no input, set a flag where there is no input. When the flag is set without input, the screen number and display time for displaying general-purpose information and common information are extracted from the schedule management table and schedule screen table and sent to the priority determination file, as described above. In this case, only the screen number for general information and common information is being sent.

The screen number is sent directly to the display.

When the input from the elevator control device 10 is a hall call, the display number of the hall floor where the call was made is extracted from the hall call floor table and the display number file as described above, and the hall floor The screen number corresponding to the waiting time is extracted from the table, hall waiting time table, and time screen number search file as described above and sent to the priority determination file. In the priority determination file, the currently displayed screen number and the sent screen number are compared, and the screen number with the higher priority is selected and sent for display. Therefore.

When a screen number with a high priority is sent, the display screen is changed, but when a screen number with a low priority is sent, the priority judgment file does not change the screen number, so the display The screen does not change.

Note that when transitioning from displaying general-purpose information and common information based on schedule data to displaying driving information, a flag is set at a position corresponding to the currently displayed screen number in the display flag column of the schedule management table. Then, when the display of the driving information is finished and the display returns to the display of general-purpose information and common information based on the schedule data, one display continues from the screen number of the flag set in advance.

When an emergency situation occurs, information from the elevator control device 10 flags the emergency section of the signal detection file. Therefore, from the screen number search file,
Extracts the screen number of the display related to the emergency situation and sends it to the priority judgment file. In the priority judgment file, the highest priority is given to emergencies, so the screen number is extracted and sent to the display.

The occurrence of an emergency situation must be displayed on all indicators for one car. Therefore, the MPIJ 1809 sends the emergency information screen number to each display in order of priority.

When displaying on all cars, the information display control device of each car individually transmits the screen number to its own display. When the input of emergency situation information disappears, the flag at the corresponding position on the signal detection table is erased.

In the above embodiment, an IC card is used.

Other examples that can be used include floppy disks (FD) and compact disks (CD).

IC cards are small and have no moving parts, so they do not cause errors during data transmission. When an information display control device is installed in a machine room, there will be some dust, so it is better to use an IC card for data transmission.

These items can be installed simply by attaching them to the information display control device.
Since the displayed graphics and nine characters can be exchanged, there is no need to create various data on the computer in the control room, which not only reduces the burden on the computer operator, but also allows the operator to quickly respond to the opinions of passengers and others.

Although the information display control device 1800 in FIG. 2 is equipped with an IC card reader, the boards 1801 and 1802 may be independent devices and connected through a transmission path. In this case, what corresponds to board 1801 becomes an information display control device, and what corresponds to board 1802 becomes a data input/output device.

□ In addition to LEDs, various types of light emitting elements such as electroluminescent (EL) elements and liquid crystal elements can be used as light emitting elements in the display panel.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the display form can be easily changed and the display can be quickly performed in accordance with the opinions of passengers and the like.
