Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve the reliability of crime prevention by providing fingerprint checking systems incorporated in push buttons to ensure the specification of a user. CONSTITUTION:Fingerprint checking units are provided in either of an elevator- hall control panel 2 and a cage control panel 4, or in both the panels to operate in the crime preventing hour to permit the use of an elevator by a specified person. When a specified person who registered his fingerprint in a data base, depresses a push button, a fingerprint detecting device 1 is operated to compare- detect the fingerprint to determine whether an elevator call must be registered or not by means of a judging device, and then transmits the judged results to an elevator-call registration circuit. Based on the results of the fingerprint checking device 1, the elevator-call registration circuit switches control from usual operation in which a cage stops at every floor, to a non-stop operation in which the cage direct travels to an aimed floor, and registers an elevator-call for crime prevention, and performs the non-stop operation.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an elevator crime prevention call registration device.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a method of preventing a crime when an elevator is used late at night, operation control is performed to stop at each floor. Or install a surveillance camera in the car as a security measure,
Although various things such as crime prevention measures that incorporate a security system with IC cards and keys are used,
The reliability of the crime prevention is still insufficient. FIG. 4 is a flowchart of a conventional elevator crime prevention operation, and it can be seen that an unspecified person can operate, and that the operator can drive to the destination floor by stopping at each floor and opening and closing the door.

[0003]

There are merits and demerits in the security system, and it may be difficult for the security camera to identify the face and shape of the criminal, and the security system using the IC card or the key is also used by the user. If you accidentally forget or lose it, it can be misused by others.

Further, in each floor stop operation (see the flowchart of FIG. 4), while the user gets on the elevator and arrives at the destination floor, there is a possibility that a criminal may get in because the user stops at each floor and opens and closes the elevator doors. Not perfect.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and performs direct operation control to the destination floor to prevent crime during driving and an authentication device for limiting the operation of the elevator to a specific person. It provides an elevator.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A fingerprint detection unit is provided at either or both of the elevator hall and the operation panel of the car, and is activated at the time of crime prevention driving, and registration is permitted in the case of a specific person. However, in the case of an unspecified person, a judgment device that refuses call registration is installed, and the elevator is used after confirming the specified person.In such a case, the method of performing direct operation to the destination floor was also used. Take security measures.

[0007]

[Operation] A specific person who is permitted to use the elevator at midnight registers a fingerprint in the database in advance. When this particular person pushes the push button for call registration to use the elevator at midnight, the fingerprint collation device including the fingerprint detection unit and the fingerprint registration switch incorporated in the push button of the operation panel operates. After comparing and detecting the fingerprint of a specific person, the decision device decides whether or not the call can be registered, and the result is transmitted to the call registration circuit. In the call registration circuit, the control is switched from the normal stop operation of each floor to the direct operation of the target floor according to the result of the fingerprint collating device, and the call registration for crime prevention and the direct operation are performed.

[0008]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described based on the embodiments shown in FIGS. FIG. 2 is a flow chart of the crime prevention operation of the elevator according to the present invention, and it is understood that the user is specified, and that each floor is directly driven to the destination without stopping.

The fingerprint collation device includes a fingerprint collation unit 1 including a detection unit, a fingerprint registration switching unit, a filter unit, a database, a comparator, and a car call determination unit, and a call button 3 on the hall operation panel 2 and a car operation panel 4. It is composed of a destination floor button 5, and when a finger is pressed against this call button to perform call registration, the detection unit detects fingerprint data. The fingerprint registration switch is switched to the operation mode in advance by manual operation, and objects other than fingerprints are excluded by the filter part,
The obtained data is compared and compared with the data of the specified person registered in the database, and the result is sent to the car call judging device. By sending a call registration enable / disable signal to the call registration circuit as a contact output in the car call determiner, the call of the specified person is accepted and the call of the unspecified person is canceled.

[0010] Further, the floor stop operation mode, which is performed by the elevator operation control, is switched to the target floor direct operation mode by the enable / disable signal. Under this condition, no calls will be accepted from others.

In the call registration control (FIG. 3), the crime prevention operation or the normal operation is automatically or manually switched by Sw, and the control section for performing the conventional stop operation of each floor as the crime prevention operation mode and the control for performing the direct operation of the target floor. Two types of parts are prepared, and switching is performed by each relay operation.

For example, in the case of car call registration, a specific person
When you get on the elevator car from the first floor and press the destination button on the fifth floor with your finger or touch it, the fingerprint collation device 1 operates and as a result of the determination, call registration is possible, the output contact X ₁ of the determination device is closed, and Ry ₁ Is closed and the b-contact b _{1 of} Ry ₁ connected to the crime prevention driving circuit (stopped on each floor) is opened, and the crime prevention driving circuit is disconnected. Instead, the contact a ₁ of Ry ₁ is closed and the crime prevention operation circuit (directly to the target floor) is activated.

Furthermore, Ry ₃ is operated to close the a-contact a ₃ of Ry _3, even if a contact point a2 of Ry ₂ is opened Ry
The relay of ₁ holds the excited state. As a result, when a specific person is authenticated, call registration is performed and direct operation to the destination floor is performed.

With such a structure, compared to the conventional indirect security measures such as a surveillance camera, an IC card, a key, etc., it is a method of collating the fingerprint of an individual, so that the identification is accurate and there is room for an unspecified person to enter. Therefore, there is no need to stop operation on each floor, and direct operation to the target floor is possible, which is more effective as a crime prevention measure. Further, as a secondary effect, there is no unnecessary stoppage of the car, the waiting time is shortened even for the next user, and the elevator energy is saved.

[0015]

According to the present invention, it becomes possible to easily and surely identify an elevator user, and it is possible to provide an elevator that can be used by the user with peace of mind at any time.
