The display data creation section 3 includes a service situation evaluation section 3a, a pattern selection section 3b, and a data output processing section 3c.

[0014] The service situation evaluation unit 3a
Evaluate the service status (degree of congestion, waiting time, etc.) for each floor from the elevator status signals (car position, car floor call, assigned hall call floor, number of passengers in the car, etc.) from the elevator.
The pattern selection unit 3 uses the result as a service status flag.
Output to b. The pattern selection unit 3b selects the type of optimal display pattern to be displayed on the displays 5a-1, 6a-1, and 7a from the elevator status signal and the service status flag from the service status evaluation unit 3a, and performs data output processing. It is output to section 3c. The data output processing section 3c synthesizes the type of display pattern from the pattern selection section 3b and the elevator status signal, and outputs the synthesized signal to the display driving section 4.

The display driving section 4 creates screen data based on the data from the data output processing section 3c, and outputs it to the displays 5a-1, 6a-1, and 7a.

FIG. 6 shows displays 5a-1, 6a-1,
Display 5a-1 shows the installation location of display 7a.

[0018]

[Table 1]

Table 1 shows the relationship between pattern selection conditions 3b and display contents in the pattern selection section of FIG. The pattern selection section 3b selects the type of pattern according to the conditions shown in Table 1, and selects the type and elevator status (
display contents). For example, if it is a special operation mode, the display pattern will be 1, and the display will be a message related to the operation mode.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a program for displaying contents on a display.

First, in step 200, the MA of the basic guidance selection mode is determined. The details are as shown in the basic guidance selection mode determination flow in FIG. First, in step 205, the display contents are updated, and in steps 210 to 250
The basic guidance mode MA is determined between. step 300
In the update control of mode-specific guidance contents P(L), guidance contents such as event guidance and commercial guidance for elevator users are updated for each operation mode. In step 305, the first and second timers are updated to match the mode-specific guidance content P(L). In step 310, f is set as the number of floors. In step 315, it is determined whether the elevator has reached the landing floor or whether the next stopping floor has been determined. If this is true, the process proceeds to step 320; if not, the process proceeds to step 356. In step 320, specific conditions are determined from the basic guidance selection mode MA, and MC(F) is created based on MH(F) between door opening and departure. For example, if the assigned hall call is a down call, traffic information etc. will be created, and if the assigned hall call is an up call, event information and greeting information in the building will be created. In step 325, the guidance display MC(F) under specific conditions is determined, and if it is 0, the mode-specific guidance content P(L) in step 335 is determined, and if it is 0 or more, step 33
0 MC (F) will be guided to the hall.

In steps 340 and 354, a guidance display of P(L) or guidance display MC(F) under specific conditions is displayed in the car a predetermined time later than the hall display. Further, in steps 350 and 355, a guidance display of mode-specific guidance contents P(L) or guidance display MC(F) under specific conditions is performed in the aisle after a predetermined time delay from the guidance display inside the car. Steps 356, 357, 358, 359, 361, 3
65, 368, and 370, the elapsed time after the car departs is detected, and MC(F) is cleared after a predetermined time elapses. Furthermore, when the elevator is assigned a hall call, the mode-specific guidance content P (L) or the guidance display MH (F) under specific conditions is displayed in the hall until the car arrives, and after a second predetermined time has elapsed, the hall call is displayed. The guidance content by mode P (L) or the guidance display MC (F) under specific conditions in step 371
Display the information.

In step 375, it is determined whether the processing of all floors has been completed. If the processing has been completed, the process returns to the main routine; if not, the process returns to step 315.
