− Necessary for Next, the information necessary for display will be explained.

When displaying general information and elevator operation information,
made 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 card 22.23; , you must create it in advance on a computer, etc., and insert the IC card 2.
It is stored at 2°23.

Therefore, if you change the IC card, the displayed content will also change.
By preparing a large number of IC cards, it is possible to display information that is popular among passengers.

General information includes general information, common information, and emergency information. General-purpose information is information that does not change at any time and is unique to the building where the elevator is installed, such as the theme of the meeting, location, etc.
It is related to information such as the date and time, cafeteria menu, etc., and information about the events in the building. Common information is information that is common to each building and changes from time to time, such as weather forecasts and news broadcast on radio and television receivers. Emergency information is information when the elevator becomes unusable, and is related to display guidance in the event of disasters such as earthquakes and fires, and failures.

Elevator operation information is information that represents the current operating status of the elevator, including the current position of the car, the direction of travel,
There are floors where the car stops, floors where the car does not stop, etc.

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.

Information necessary for display is display data, display screen editing data, and schedule data.

Note that all of this information is digitally coded.

Each of these will be explained below.

First, the 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 a registration designation, a registration number, two screen size data, and display content data.

The registration 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 drawing size data is calculated by the number of dots XL in the X direction and the number of stages YL in the Y direction. In the case of 0 character data that specifies the screen size, 84XL4160. YL=1.2.
3, and in the case of graphic data, 1<X and 160. YL
=1°2.3.

The display content data is either character data or graphic data.As mentioned above, the 0 character data is the designated character code of JIS first and second level kanji, alphanumeric characters, and kana. Character commands are attached to character data.

Next, display screen editing data will be explained.

As described above, a screen number is assigned to each screen displayed on one display panel 24o7. 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 24o7 of each display data registered in one screen are determined. Referring to FIG. 6, the starting point is 14X<153. for character data. If Y=1°17.33 and one figure data, IKXK160,
Y=1.17.33.

Figure 7 shows an example of the structure of display screen editing data.
The registration designation in the figure is a code to clarify that it is display screen editing data.

FIG. 8(a) shows the allocation status of information displayed on the display panel 2407 when the display of a certain screen number consists of 10 display data (registration numbers 5, 10 to 18), that is, 1 screen editing It indicates the situation. Incidentally, FIG. 8(b) shows the relationship between registration numbers 5, 10 to 18 and the starting point.

The screen configuration shown in FIG. 8 is an example, and can be freely changed by changing the number of registration numbers and their starting points.

Furthermore, schedule data will be explained.

The schedule data specifies the display order, 9 display time, and 2 the number of display repetitions regarding the display of general-purpose information and common information, using the registration number of each display screen edit data described above. So that you can change the displayed content,
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. 9, 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.

FIG. 10 is an example of a screen displayed using the display screen editing data of FIG. 8. Registration number 10 indicates the running direction of the car, registration numbers 11 to 18 indicate the floors, and the upper stage of the display is used to display elevator operation information.1, starting point X = 01. Registration number 5 edited at Y=17 is designed to display general information, and in the case of FIG. 10, entertainment information is displayed using the lower two rows of the display. Elevator operation information can be displayed with 5 displays, depending on the position, so it is easy to see, so it is not necessary to install the display only on the upper stage, but also on the middle or lower stage.Also, one screen can be divided vertically and the left half It is also possible to display driving information on the left side and general information on the right side. Moreover, the division structure is free.

On such a screen, the information display control device 18.19
sends the elevator operating information to the elevator control device 10.
．． According to the signal from 11, the car position, running direction, floors where the car stops, and floors where the car does not stop are informed to passengers by changing the display form by replacing the registration number at any time.

In addition, the general information is transmitted to the display unit by changing the display content by replacing the registration number 6, that is, the individual display content is transmitted to the display unit according to the schedule data shown in FIG. , simply issues a command to replace the registration number, and each display performs display based on that command. Therefore, the amount of data transmitted when changing the display is small, and the display can be adapted to the rapid movement of the elevator.

In this way, elevator operation information and general information are displayed independently and simultaneously on two screens.

Next, a description will be given of how to change the display form of elevator operation information.

Figure 12 shows the correspondence data between the registration number before change and the registration number after change, which are displayed in different display formats to show the current position of the car in the floor display. 11-18. The current car position is displayed in different display formats depending on the characters or figures registered as the post-change registration number, and in FIG. 12 these are displayed in reverse. Note that as another means of changing the display format, the color of the characters indicating the floors may be changed. In this way, the registration numbers before and after the change are made to correspond, and the screen shown in FIG. 10 is displayed by replacing the registration number before the change at the current car position with the registration number after the change.

In FIG. 13, the display form of the floor where the car does not stop is changed to a dot display form, and the data of this dot is registered as the changed registration number.

The display screen becomes as shown in FIG.

Note that the hatched and filled areas on the display screen in FIGS. 10 to 13 indicate that the colors are different from the other areas. In addition, when the display is based on text,
You can also scroll it.

According to this embodiment, when passengers waiting for the elevator to arrive view the elevator operation information, they also view the general information displayed at the same time, so the general information can be displayed effectively.

In addition, the screen will not switch between driving information and general information, so you can view the screen with peace of mind.
There are no words that can make passengers feel distrustful.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As explained above, according to the present invention, general information is displayed together with elevator operation information.
It can give a sense of security to elevator passengers.
