Abstract

PURPOSE:To inform a person permitted to use an elevator of an elevator operating audio message in his language. CONSTITUTION:A card reader 1 reads (S-2) a language code as well as an ID number written in an ID card, and informs (S-5) an elevator user in a cage of an audio message 'Register a cage call' in Japanese from a voice synthesizing device 14 through a speaker 15 if the language code is Japanese (S-3). If the language code is English, the audio message is informed in English (S-6). Consequently, the safety in a personal elevator can be maintained, and attentive operation to the elevator user can be performed.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator notification device for notifying elevator operation guidance in the language used by elevator users.

0002

[Prior Art] Conventionally, in elevators that are used only by people who are permitted to use the elevator according to ID discrimination results, when voice guidance is provided on how to operate the elevator, the guidance is in either Japanese or English. I was going.

0003

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional voice guidance was provided in a preset language, which resulted in extremely unfriendly guidance for people who did not understand any of the set languages, leading to problems such as confusion in operating the elevator. was there. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator notification device that can provide elevator operation guidance in the language used by elevator users.

0004

[Means for Solving the Problems] An elevator notification device according to the present invention performs ID discrimination based on ID discrimination information of an elevator user, and outputs an elevator use permission signal to elevator operating means according to the ID discrimination result. In the elevator equipment equipped with the device, the ID discrimination information includes the language information used by the ID discriminator, and when the ID discrimination is successful, the ID discrimination device reads an elevator operation guidance message in the language corresponding to the language information used. The system is equipped with a message notification means for notifying.

[0005]

According to the present invention, the ID discriminating device deciphers the language used by the elevator user from the ID information read at the time of ID discrimination, and notifies elevator operation guidance according to the language used.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1(a) is a configuration diagram of an elevator operation panel in this embodiment. In the figure, 1 is a card reader equipped with a card reader head 14 on the front, and 2 is an in-car operation panel equipped with car call registration buttons 1F to 6F. (b) in the same figure
is an internal configuration diagram of the card reader 1. As its configuration, CPU11, R which constitutes a microcomputer
OM 12, RAM 13, card reader head 14, voice synthesizer 14 that synthesizes voice messages and outputs them to speaker 15, interface 16 that outputs control signals to the elevator control panel, OK to excite and close contacts according to ID discrimination results. It has a built-in relay 17.

FIG. 2 shows the car call registration button 1 on the in-car operation panel 2.
This is a car call registration circuit that operates in response to operations from F to 6F.
Normally open contacts that close when the judgment result is OK, 1FB to 6F
B is the car call registration button on the 1st to 6th floors, P1F to P6F
are car position switch contacts on the 1st to 6th floors, 1C to 6C
are the car call relays for the 1st to 6th floors, and 1Fa to 6Fa are the normally open contacts of the car call relays.

Next, the operation of this embodiment according to the above configuration will be explained with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 4 and 5. First, when an elevator user gets into an elevator car, he/she reads the card reader head 14 of the card reader 1 in the car.
Insert your ID card. When the CPU 1 determines that the ID card has been read through the card reader head 14 (S-1), the CPU 1 determines whether the ID number is a regular number registered in advance (S-2). the result. If it is determined that the number is not a legitimate number, the voice synthesizer 14 plays a voice message through the speaker 15 to the elevator user saying, ``Please read your card again'' in Japanese, and then in English. Play a voice message with the same content.

[0009] Furthermore, if the ID number is found to be a regular number in step S-2, the language code in the ID number is deciphered to determine whether the language code is Japanese, that is, the language used by the elevator user. Determine whether it is Japanese (S-
3) If it is Japanese, the speaker 1 is sent from the speech synthesizer 14.
5, a voice message saying "Please register your car call" is played in Japanese (S-5). Alternatively, if it is determined that the language code is not Japanese but English or another language (S-4), the voice message is played in English (S-6). After each voice message is played,
CPU 11 connects OK relay 1 through interface 16.
Output an excitation signal to 7 for 5 seconds.

OK relay 17 is energized and normally open contact 17a
is closed, the elevator user presses, for example, the 6th floor car call registration button 6FB according to the voice message (S-9), and the 6th floor car call relay 6C transmits the excitation current through the car position contact P6F. The self-contact 6Fa is closed while the car is energized, until the car reaches the 6th floor (+)
A self-holding circuit is formed by - normally open contact 6Fa - car position contact P6F - car call relay 6C (-), and car call registration to the 6th floor is performed (S-10).

[0011] Next, the elevator car runs to the 6th floor by the car call (S-11), and when it arrives at the 6th floor (S-1
2) The car position contact is opened (S-13), the self-holding circuit is released, and the car call relay 6C is demagnetized.

[0012] The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but similar effects can be achieved in the following embodiments. The distinction between Japanese and foreigners may be carried out by any method as long as it can be distinguished by some kind of discrimination method, regardless of the language code. Announcements during IDNG may be made in either language. In addition to English, it can be used in Spanish, Chinese, and other languages, and can be used by people with three or more languages.

[0013] It goes without saying that in addition to audio, display devices can be provided for each language and guidance can be provided using them. (Example) OK → Permit NG → Disallowed The ID discriminating device may be any ID discriminating device such as a numeric keypad, fingerprint, voice print, etc., in addition to magnetic, IC, optical cards, etc., or they may be used alone or may be used in combination. Needless to say, the same method can be applied to not only car calls but also platform calls.

[0014]

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to this invention, the ID
Elevator use is permitted according to the determination result, and an elevator operation guidance message is notified in the language used by the elevator user, so safety in personal elevators can be maintained and the elevator can be operated with consideration for elevator users. be.
