Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent wasteful power consumption by stopping an elevator at a registered floor and detecting a passenger's getting-in and -off after detecting the passenger' s fingerprint when the passenger has depressed plural destination registration key, designating the passenger as a person prohibited from getting in the elevator when the passenger does not get in or off as many times as prescribed, and prohibiting the passenger's registration thereafter. CONSTITUTION:When a passenger depresses a destination registration key 1, the fingerprint for destination registration key 1 is detected by a fingerprint detecting part 2 optically, and the fingerprint is recognized by a fingerprint recognizing means 7 to be stored in a first memory 8. Next, an elevator ride permission judging means 9 makes comparison with the fingerprints of persons prohibited from getting in which are stored in a memory 14, and judges whether the fingerprint is that of a person prohibited from getting in the elevator or not, and if so, registration is prohibited, and if not, registration can be made to move and elevator to a prescribed floor. Then whether the passenger gets in or off at the prescribed floor is detected by a getting-in/off detecting means 11. When no passenger gets in or off the elevator as many times as prescribed, the passenger's fingerprint is registered in the memory 14 as a person prohibited from getting in the elevator.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to an elevator call control device, and particularly relates to destination registration mischief.

[Prior art] A conventional elevator call control device was developed in U.S. Pat.
As disclosed in 15, in order to call an elevator car (hereinafter referred to as a car), passengers at the hall register their destination in advance using a destination registration key provided at the hall and board the elevator. .

For example, if a passenger at the landing on the first floor presses a destination registration key on multiple floors as a prank, the car will register the signal of that destination registration key, and the passenger will be able to board the car at the registered floor using the destination registration key. At least they stopped on that floor one after another.

In other words, even if a passenger at the platform mischievously pressed the destination registration key, the elevator would still have to go to the specified floor.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] In the conventional elevator call control device as described above, when a passenger at the landing presses multiple destination registration keys, the passenger is registered and goes to that destination even if the passenger does not board the elevator. As a result, there was a problem in that power was wasted and the service deteriorated.

This invention was made to solve this problem. When a passenger presses multiple destination registration keys, the passenger's fingerprint is detected and the car is stopped at the registered floor. Detecting whether the vehicle is boarding or disembarking, and if a predetermined number of cases are not both, the user is designated as a prohibited person, and if a destination registration key is pressed by a prohibited person, signals from that destination registration key are prohibited. An object of the present invention is to provide an elevator call control device that prohibits the use of the elevator and prevents wasteful power consumption.

[Means for Solving the Problems] An elevator call control device according to the present invention has an operation panel in a landing consisting of a destination key for registering the destination of a car or a car call key for calling a car. In an elevator call control device that moves the car to the registered or called floor after moving the car to the floor, when the car moves to the floor where the destination key or car call key is pressed, it is detected whether a passenger has boarded the car. If the car gets on the car, it outputs the first boarding/alighting signal, and if the car moves to the registered destination and a passenger gets on from that destination floor, it outputs the second boarding/alighting signal, and if the passenger gets off, it outputs the third boarding/alighting signal. boarding/alighting determination means for outputting a boarding/alighting signal; recognition means for recognizing a fingerprint of a passenger operating a key and storing the recognition data in a first memory; If the boarding/alighting signal is not input, it is determined to be a mischief, and when the number of times of determination reaches a predetermined number, the recognition data stored in the first memory is stored in the second memory as prohibited person data. When the destination key or car call key on the operation panel is pressed, the recognition data is compared with the prohibited person data,
If the recognition data match, the device is equipped with a use determining means that prohibits the key signal.

[Function] In this invention, when the car moves to the floor where the destination key or the car call key is pressed, the boarding/alighting determination means detects whether a passenger has boarded the car, and if a passenger has boarded the car, outputs the first boarding/alighting signal, and furthermore, If the car moves to the registered destination and a passenger gets on from the destination floor, a second boarding/alighting signal is output, and if a passenger gets off, a third boarding/alighting signal is output.

Then, the recognition means recognizes the fingerprint of the passenger who operated the key, and stores the recognition data in the first memory.

Then, when the determination counting means determines that the first boarding/alighting signal, the second boarding/alighting signal, or the third boarding/alighting signal is not manually operated,
If it is determined that it is a prank and the number of times of determination reaches a predetermined number of times, the recognition data is set as prohibited person data.

Next, when the destination key on the operation panel is pressed, the usage determination means
The recognition data is compared with the prohibited person data, and if the recognition data match, registration of the destination key signal is prohibited.

(12) is boarding determination means, which erases the fingerprint stored in the first memory (8) when the passenger detection signal is input to the floor stored in the first memory (8); If no input is made, it is determined that it is a prank, and the fingerprint stored in the first memory (8) is not erased, but a signal is output to cause the fingerprint to be counted.

(13) is a fingerprint counting means, and passenger determination means (1
When the signal from 2) reaches a predetermined number of times, the first memory (8
) is stored in the second memory (14) as the fingerprint data of the prohibited person.

(16) is an elevator drive unit, and an operation control unit (10
) is used to drive the elevator based on signals from the elevator.

The operation of the elevator call control device configured as described above will be explained below using a flowchart. However, the explanation of the input and output circuits will be omitted.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating the present invention in detail.

For example, if a passenger A in the elevator hall (hereinafter referred to as the hall) on the first floor points to the fifth floor with his index finger on the destination registration key on the destination registration operation panel provided in the hall, the designated floor detection means (6) detects the destination. The input of the registered key is read (Sl), and it is determined whether the key is available manually (S3). In this case, since the destination registration key for the 5th floor was specified, it is determined that the key is available.

If it is determined that the destination registration key has been input, the designated floor detection means (6) stores the floor of the destination registration key in the first memory (8) (S5).

Then, the fingerprint detection unit (2) optically detects the fingerprint of the pressed destination registration key, and the fingerprint recognition means (7) recognizes the fingerprint and stores it in the first memory (8) (S9). . Next, the elevator usability determination means (9) reads the second memory (1
4) Read the fingerprint data of the prohibited person stored in (
Sll), the fingerprint data in the first memory (8) and the fingerprint data in the second memory (14) are compared to determine whether there are any fingerprints that are determined to be the same (sia). In this case, it is assumed that it is determined that there is no identical item.

If it is determined that there is no identical elevator, the elevator usability determining means (9) lights up the designated destination registration key and outputs an usability signal to the operation control means (10) (S15). Then, the operation control means (10) reads the stored designated floor (5th floor) from the first memory (S17), outputs a signal to the elevator drive unit (16) to drive the car to the 1st floor, and moves the car to the 1st floor. is moved to the first floor (Sl9). Then, the basket is moved to the designated floor (fifth floor).

Next, when the car reaches the designated floor, the boarding/alighting detection means (11) detects whether a passenger has boarded the car or not (521).
), determines whether there are passengers (823). In this case, it is assumed that it is determined that the passenger did not get off the train.

If it is determined that the passenger has not alighted, the boarding/alighting detection means (11
) does not output the passenger detection signal to the passenger determination means (12) (825).

Next, the passenger determining means (12) reads the output of the boarding/alighting detecting means (11) (S29) and determines whether there is a passenger detection signal (831).In this case, it is determined that there is no passenger detection signal.

Next, if the passenger determining means (12) determines that there is no passenger detection signal, it determines that it is a prank and outputs a prank signal indicating that it is a prank (S34).

Next, the fingerprint counting means (13) passes through the passenger determining means (12).
) reads the output (836) and determines whether there is a signal (
sag). In this case, since the mischief signal was output in step S34, it is determined that there is a mischief signal.

If it is determined that there is a mischief signal, the fingerprint counting means (13
) counts the fingerprints stored in the first memory (8) (841).

Next, it is determined whether the counted value has reached a predetermined number or more (twice or more) (843). In this case, it is determined that the predetermined number has not been reached since it is done once, and the control is stopped at step 85.
Move to 5.

Next, after the elevator moves to the landing on the first floor after a predetermined time has elapsed, if passenger A at the landing operates the destination registration key (1) and instructs the fourth floor, Step S1-Step S19 in the above explanation Execute the process and go to the 4th floor.
If the passenger detection signal is not output again from the boarding/alighting detection means (11) and the boarding determination means determines that it is a prank in step 834, the fingerprint stored in the first memory (8) is similar to the previous fingerprint. If it is determined that they are the same, the fingerprint counting means (12) determines that the preset number of fingerprints has been reached, and the fingerprint counting means (12) determines that the number of fingerprints counted is the same as that of the passenger A stored in the first memory (8).
The fingerprint of the person who is prohibited from using the elevator is used as the second fingerprint data.
(S45).

Then, after a predetermined period of time has elapsed, if passenger A registers the 4th floor, for example, at the landing on the 1st floor, the fingerprint recognition means (6) registers the designated floor in the first memory (8), as described above. to be memorized.

Further, when the fingerprint recognition means (7) stores the pressed fingerprint in the first memory (8), the elevator use determination means (9)
reads the fingerprint data from the second memory (14). In this case, since fingerprint data is stored, a signal indicating that it cannot be used is output to the operation control means (10) (847).

When the operation control means (lO) receives the unusable signal, it erases the designated floor (4th floor) stored in the first memory (S
51).

Next, the operation control unit (lO) displays, for example, on the display unit (4) that the elevator cannot be used (S53).

Then, it is determined whether the process is finished (555), and if it is not finished, control is transferred to step 81.

Therefore, passenger A cannot use this elevator.

In the above embodiment, passenger A's index finger was used, but any finger may be used as long as a fingerprint can be obtained.

Further, in the above embodiment, a fingerprint is detected, but voice may be detected as long as the destination of the basket can be registered using a voiceprint.

In addition, in the above embodiment, the case where passenger A presses one destination registration key as a prank was explained, but even if passenger A presses the destination registration key with multiple fingers at the same time, the passenger Use may be prohibited.

This means that, for example, when passenger A presses a destination registration key on the 1st to 5th floors, the fingerprint detection unit (2) sequentially detects the fingerprints on the destination registration key, and all the fingerprints detected by the fingerprint recognition means (7) are The fingerprint is recognized and stored in the first memory (8). Then, when Passenger A presses the destination registration key again, the fingerprints are compared with the stored fingerprints, and if it is determined that even one of them matches, the process is performed as described above, and if the fingerprints are detected for a predetermined number of floors,
Users are prohibited from using it.

Furthermore, when the prohibited person specifies a plurality of floors, the destination registration key for only one floor may be selected to respond to the call.

By the way, the present invention may be utilized for wheelchairs, and may also be used to detect fingerprints from an up call key and a down call key provided at a boarding hall.

It may also be used to register a destination inside an elevator.

Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it is assumed that whether or not a passenger gets off the car is detected, but the present invention may also be used when a passenger does not get on a registered floor.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when the destination key or the car call key on the operation panel at the landing is pressed, the fingerprint of the passenger who operated the key is recognized, and the destination key or the car call key is activated. When the car moves to the floor that was pushed, the boarding/alighting determination means detects the passenger getting on and off, and if the passenger does not get on or off at that floor, it is determined to be a prank, and if the number of determinations reaches a predetermined number of times, it is recognized The data is treated as prohibited person data, and then when a key on the operation panel is pressed, the recognition data is compared with the prohibited person data,
If the recognition data matches, registration of the key signal is prohibited, which prevents the car from being driven unnecessarily due to mischief, and improves the service. .
