JPH054779A - Remote call registering device for elevator - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make the operation of an elevator efficient by registering an elevator call by voice according to the guide, and communicating the scheduled arrival time of the elevator further by voice. CONSTITUTION:When an elevator user dials the telephone number of a remote monitor terminal 4, the method of elevator registration is guided by a speech synthesis unit 7. Sound signals commanded by the elevator user according to the guide are decoded by a sound confirming unit 6 and transmitted to an elevator control panel 11. All of elevator call registration from the microcomputer part of the elevator control panel 11 are taken into an elevator arrival scheduled required time calculating unit 8 so as to calculate the scheduled required time for the elevator to reach the remote call registered floor. The calculated result is communicated to the elevator remote call user by the sound synthesis unit 7. This saves the user the time for waiting wastefully, and the elevator can be operated efficiently.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to remote call registration for elevators.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in a method of remotely calling an elevator, an elevator call registration command is given to an elevator controller by a combination of PB signals issued by pushing a push button of a push button signal.

[0003]

However, in the method shown above, the elevator user has to remember a special method for registering the call for the elevator.
It is easy to make a mistake in pressing the buttons, and even if call registration is performed, when the elevator user arrives in the elevator hall, there is a problem that the elevator call registration from a remote location becomes useless after the elevator car departs. It was

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a simple call registration method and an elevator remote call registration device capable of notifying an estimated arrival time of an elevator car.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a call registration device for an elevator installed in a building using a public line to a place other than the elevator hall (for example, a room in an apartment). ) Is a system for registering an elevator call using a general home telephone, and is located between the telephone and the elevator control panel, and has a telephone line monitoring means for detecting that the telephone line is closed, and an elevator call. For users who are trying to register,
An announcement means for guiding the elevator call registration method by voice, a voice recognition means for decoding the instruction issued by voice, and an information transmission means (remote maintenance terminal) for transmitting the instruction issued by the telephone to the elevator control panel. ,
A calculation means for calculating the estimated time required for the elevator car to reach the floor and an announcement means for notifying the user who registered the elevator call of the estimated arrival time are provided.

[0006]

With the elevator remote call registration device having this configuration, the elevator call is registered according to the voice guide, and the scheduled arrival time of the elevator is notified by voice, so that the user does not have to wait for a waste and the elevator is It will be operated efficiently.

[0007]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described based on the embodiments shown in FIGS.

FIG. 1 shows the system configuration of the present invention. An elevator remote monitoring device terminal 4 is placed on a telephone set 1, a public line 2 and a public line network 3 which are placed in a general home or office.

The elevator remote monitoring device terminal 4 comprises a telephone line interface circuit 5, a voice recognition device 6, a voice synthesizing device 7, a required elevator arrival time calculation device 8, a terminal control section 9 and a serial interface 10, and the like. Elevator control unit 12 of elevator control panel 11
And the car 13 of the elevator.

When an elevator user wants to register an elevator call from a remote place, he dials the telephone number of the remote monitoring device terminal 4. When the telephone line monitoring means mounted in the telephone line interface circuit 5 senses that the telephone line is closed, the voice synthesizer 7 guides the elevator registration method shown in FIG.

According to the guide, the voice signal instructed by the elevator user is decoded by the voice recognition device 6, and the decoded command is transmitted to the elevator control panel 11.

Next, all the elevator call registrations are fetched from the microcomputer section of the elevator control panel into the estimated elevator arrival time required calculation device of the estimated elevator arrival required time calculation device 8, and the elevator arrives at the floor where the remote call registration is performed. Calculate the estimated time required. The result of the calculation is transmitted to the elevator remote call user by the voice synthesizer.

Another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

That is, the estimated elevator arrival time required calculation means is provided in the elevator control panel. Even in this case, the same effect as the above case can be obtained.

As described above, according to the present invention, the call registration can be performed according to the voice guide, so that the call registration can be performed like a normal telephone, and the malfunction due to the wrong button press can be eliminated.

Further, in order to inform the estimated time required to arrive at the elevator, it is possible to eliminate the fact that the elevator has been departed when it arrives at the elevator hall.

[0017]

According to the present invention, since voice call registration can be performed easily, accurate elevator remote call registration can be performed easily, and the estimated arrival time required for the elevator can be notified, so that the elevator user can be more advanced. Can provide services.
