Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] This invention relates to a device for reserving elevator service.

[Conventional technology]

Conventionally, as an elevator operation reservation device, there is one that makes a reservation for a car by transmitting the time and floor using a telephone. 1 thing to reserve a basket for
For example, it is shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 59-217512. That is, when the reserved time approaches, a call signal for the reserved ninth floor is emitted to call the car to the reserved floor and make it wait. When waiting with the door open on the reserved floor, the door is closed after a predetermined period of time.

However, when the car is left waiting on the reserved floor with the door open.

This service is also available for regular boarding calls.

If a car waiting with its door open on a reserved floor is assigned a landing call on another floor, it may depart immediately and be unavailable to reserved passengers. In addition, passengers other than the reserved passenger may use a car with two doors open before the reserved passenger, leaving the reserved passenger behind.

Therefore, we have improved this by increasing the opening time of the car door during the 1st door opening (compared to normal time) and making the 9th door close button insensitive, thereby regulating the generation of the 2nd door close command. 1, for example, as shown in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 60-82577.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

In the conventional elevator operation reservation device as described above,
Since we are trying to restrict the occurrence of door closing commands for cars waiting to open on the reserved floor, if a reserved passenger has already boarded the car, the departure may be delayed even though he/she has boarded one car, and the car may be left on the reserved floor or other places. There is a problem that the service on the floor is very poor.

This invention was developed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and allows reservations for elevator operation so that the reserved passenger can always use the car whose door is waiting to be opened, and also avoids deterioration of service on other floors. The purpose is to provide equipment.

[Means to solve the problem]

An elevator operation reservation device according to the present invention is as follows.

An input device that issues the reservation floor for reserving and dispatching the car, the date and time of the reservation, the destination floor, and a PIN number indicating the reservation customer.

a service reservation means for emitting an output corresponding to the input from the input device; a reservation dispatch control signal generating means for issuing a reserved vehicle dispatch control signal from the output of the service reservation means to a specific car at a date and time; and a reserved vehicle dispatch control signal. A reserved operation means for distributing the car to the reserved floor and waiting there with the door open;
A reserved passenger determining means is provided for registering the car call of the input destination floor if the passenger who boarded the car from the reserved floor matches the reserved passenger indicated by the input password.

[Effect]

In this invention, if the passenger who boarded the car from the reserved floor where the car was reserved and the reserved passenger indicated by the entered PIN number matches the car, the car departs to the destination floor, so the reserved passenger is subject to special regulations. without receiving it.

You can leave the car you have boarded to the desired floor.

The reservation dispatch control signal is transmitted by a transmission device (130),
(12D) into the group management device fQXI,
It is stored in the storage device (12B). Group management device aitt
a is the hall call signal from the hall button (6A), f! !
This is a well-known method in which the optimum car is selected from several cars and assigned to it. When the group management system 51 (1B) receives the reservation dispatch control signal, it selects the car predicted to become the first free car, and prohibits the allocation of subsequent hall calls to that car. Then, when the car becomes a free car and the reserved time arrives, a service command to the reserved floor designated by the reserved vehicle dispatch control signal and the input password are output to the car control device Q. These commands are transmitted to the transmission devices f(120), (
110) to the car control device I. The car control device I operates the drive control device (6B) according to the received service command to service the car to the reserved floor and time the nine doors to open. From now on, the PIN input device (7)

If the two match, a car call is registered, and if they do not match, a warning is broadcast from the voice synthesis broadcasting device. I do. Also, if the door remains open for a predetermined time or longer, one door will be closed and normal operation will resume.

Next, the input operation of the reservation table YT will be explained with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIGS. 4 to 1 (stored in the storage device (15B)).

The reservation table YT allows 999 reservations with reservation numbers 1 to 999 to be made. Each reservation field will be referred to as yT,1 (,1-t~999) by adding a subscript j to the reservation table YT. For example, if the content of YTj (j-1) contains r 0114150005011234J as an ASCII code, it would be "Reservation to register a hall call on the 5th floor at 3:00 pm on January 14th, and the next floor is the 1st floor. The password is "1234".

Now, when the telephone (1) operates, a request acceptance signal is output to the telephone (1) in step Qυ, enabling communication with the telephone (+1). At the step, determine whether data can be stored in the reservation table YT, and if it is possible, step (to)
Go to and update table pointer j.

Specify the storage location. Note that the table pointer j is set by an initial setting program (not shown).

Assume that it is cleared to zero. Hereafter, steps (to) to (to) are executed, and the process proceeds to step (2).

Step @ is a date and time input program, and step (c) is a reservation floor and destination floor input program.

Steps (to) are a password input program, which are shown in FIGS. 5 to 1, respectively. Then, in step -, a reservation completion signal is output to the telephone (1), and the communication with the telephone 111 is terminated), thereby terminating the process. Also, step (2
), if it is determined that the data cannot be stored, step (To)
Proceed to , and after outputting the reservation unavailable signal to the telephone (11),
Proceed to the step surface.

FIG. 5 is a 70-chart of the reservation date and time input program, in which in step (24a) it outputs the message "Please enter the date" to the telephone (1), waits for an input from the telephone (0), Once entered, step (24)
Proceed to step b) and check whether a 4-digit number has been entered.

When a 4-digit number is entered.

The process advances to step (24c), and if 9 is not input, the process returns to step (24a). In step (24c), check whether there are any discrepancies in the four-digit numbers. If there is no discrepancy, proceed to step (24d); if there is a discrepancy, proceed to step (24).
Return to a). In step (24d), the input numbers are stored in the Oth to third columns of the reservation column YTj of the reservation table YT. Similarly, steps (24θ) to (24θ)
The reserved time is stored in h).

FIG. 6 is a flowchart of the input program for the reserved floor and destination floor, and in the same way as in FIG.
The reserved floor in ~(25d) is changed to the reserved floor in steps (25e)~(
25h), the reserved destination floors are stored respectively.

FIG. 1 shows a password input program, and the password is stored in steps (26a) to (26c) in the same manner as in FIG.

Next, the program shown in Fig. 8 (stored in the storage device (13B)) is executed to create a reservation dispatch control signal from the input reservation table YT and the date and time read from the automatic calendar (3). This will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown below. Note that this program is repeatedly processed only once per minute.

It is assumed that the date and time of the event have already been read out by the Ike program.

In step on, determine whether there is data in the reservation table YT,
If there is, proceed to step (to); if not, the process ends. In step (to), scan pointer 1 is cleared to zero, and in step (to), scan pointer 1 is updated. In step (to), it is determined whether the reservation date of the first reservation table YTi matches today's date read from the automatic calendar (3), and if it matches, the process advances to step (to) and the automatic It is determined whether the current time read from the calendar (3) has passed a predetermined value from the reservation time of the reservation table YTt, and if it has passed, the process proceeds to step (to) and the reservation table YTi is used as a reservation dispatch control signal. The information is output to the management device 0, and the reservation table YT is updated in step (b) (see FIG. 9 for details). Note that the predetermined value of the step (to) is the sum of the time until the car becomes a free car and the time from when the car becomes a 71 no car until the reserved floor can be serviced. Then, in step (to), it is determined whether all the data in the reservation table YT has been scanned, and if it has not been scanned, the process returns to step (to) υ.

Steps (to) to (to) are repeated, and when scanning is completed, the process ends. Note that if the conditions and conditions are not satisfied in steps (to) and (to), the process jumps to step (to).

FIG. 9 is a flowchart of the update program for the reservation table YT, in which the scanning pointer is set in step (57a), it is determined in step (37b) whether the processing is completed, and if the processing is not completed, step (37c) is performed. Reservation table YTk-
The data of H is stored in YTk, the scan pointer is updated in step (37d), and the process returns to step (37b). If it is determined in step (37b) that the process has ended, the process proceeds to step Q7e), where the scan pointer 1 and table pointer j are reset, and the process is ended.・Next, the operation of reservation dispatch is performed using the program (memory) shown in Figure 10.
fi (stored in 12B)). Furthermore, this program.

Processed when a reservation dispatch control signal is input.

Step (In step 4D, select one car that will become the first free car (hereinafter referred to as 0 selection), and in step i4a, prohibit the assignment of a hall call to the selected car. In step i43, the selected car becomes a free car. When the selected basket becomes a free basket, wait for the reserved time at step @ number.When the reserved time arrives, in step (c) it is determined whether the reserved destination floor is above the reserved floor, and the upper If so, output the upper assignment command for the reserved floor to the selection in step ■, and proceed to step -.If it is lower, output the lower assignment command for the reserved floor to the selection in step (4), and proceed to step (4).
Go to 1. In step (to), select the reservation destination floor and set the PIN number. Step (to) car control device α
Wait for the normal operation return command to be transmitted from υ.

When the normal operation return command is transmitted, the process proceeds to the step group, allowing assignment of one of the selections, and ends the process.

Next, the program in Figure 11 (
The process will be explained with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG. Incidentally, this program is processed when 9 selections enters the door-open standby operation on the reserved floor.

Determine whether the destination button has been pressed in step (51),
If it has not been pressed, it is determined in step (52) whether the PIN has been input from the PIN input device 1 +7), and
In step (53), it is determined whether this password and the password input from the group management device C14 are the same.

If the two are equal, the car call of the reservation destination floor input from the group control device α is registered in step (54).

The basket is serviced on this reservation destination floor. Step (5
The process waits for the service to be completed in step 5), and when the service is completed, a normal operation return command is output to the group control device ff1Q3 in step (56), and the process ends. Step (51
) when it is determined that the destination button has been pressed.

In order to notify the customer that the car they are trying to use is a reserved car, a message is output to the voice synthesis broadcasting device 4, and in step (58) it is determined whether the car has been waiting for the door open for a predetermined time on the reserved floor, and one door is opened. If there is a wait, the process advances to step (56), and if one door is not on standby, the process returns to step (51). If it is determined in step (52) that the password has not been input, the process proceeds to step (58). Step (5
If it is determined in step 3) that the password numbers are not equal, the process proceeds to step (57).

In the example, a preset PIN number is input to the phone (
Although the information is input in step 1), this may be instructed to the reservation person through the telephone (1) at the time of reservation. In addition, a telephone is used as the input device (1), and a reservation customer detection device (
7), the password input device is a guide display (11 is a voice synthesis broadcasting device), but the present invention is not limited to this.
