Further, when the mobile terminal 15 receives a radio wave from the landing side beacon device 12, the application is activated and the operation screen of the application cannot be operated on the display unit, a call preset in the application is called. The request may be sent automatically. For example, when the application is running and the screen of the mobile terminal 15 is locked, a call request preset in the application may be automatically transmitted. For example, when the application is running and the screen of the application is not displayed, a preset call request in the application may be automatically transmitted. In these cases, the call can be requested immediately when the user does not have the possibility of manually requesting the call or changing the destination floor.

Further, the door open button and the door close button may be displayed on the screen of the application. For example, when the area of the door open button is touched, a request for door opening of the elevator may be transmitted from the mobile terminal 15 to the control device 13 via the base station 14 and the Internet network. For example, when the area of the door closing button is touched, a request for closing the door of the elevator may be transmitted from the mobile terminal 15 to the control device 13 via the base station 14 and the Internet network. In these cases, the elevator door opening / closing time can be adjusted even at a position slightly away from the landing 3. In the first embodiment, when the mobile terminal 15 transmits the information requesting the call of the elevator to the control device 13 by radio waves, the information is transmitted to the control device 13 via the base station 14 and the Internet network.

After that, the mobile terminal 15 ends the operation.

If the beacon device that transmitted the radio wave in step S12 is not the landing side beacon device 12, the mobile terminal 15 performs the operation of step S16. In step S16, the mobile terminal 15 determines whether or not to detect the radio wave from the car-side beacon device 16.

When the radio wave from the car-side beacon device 16 is detected in step S16, the mobile terminal 15 performs the operation of step S16. If the radio wave from the car-side beacon device 16 is not detected in step S16, the mobile terminal 15 performs the operation of step S14. In the radio wave detection of the beacon device, a detection threshold value for the intensity of the received radio wave is set, and detection or non-detection is determined depending on whether or not the threshold value is exceeded. This threshold value may be the same value for the landing side beacon device 12 and the car side beacon device 16, or different values may be used. By changing this threshold value, it is possible to make an optimum boarding / alighting determination according to different structures of buildings and elevators.

Next, a second example of an outline of the operation of the mobile terminal 15 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 13 is a flowchart for explaining a second example of an outline of the operation of the mobile terminal to which the automatic elevator call registration system according to the second embodiment is applied.

Steps S21 to S25 are the same as steps S11 to S15 in FIG. If the beacon device that transmitted the radio wave in step S22 is not the landing side beacon device 12, the mobile terminal 15 performs the operation of step S24.

According to the second embodiment described above, in the control device 13, when the mobile terminal 15 receives a radio wave from the landing side beacon device 12 and requests a call, the mobile terminal 15 is transmitted from the car side beacon device 16. Calls are not registered if a certain amount of time has not passed since the radio waves were no longer received. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the registration of calls that the user does not intend.

Specifically, when the mobile terminal 15 receives the radio wave from the car-side beacon device 16, the mobile terminal 15 suppresses the automatic transmission of the call request for a certain period of time. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the call from being registered while the car 6 is running. In the second embodiment, when the landing side beacon device 12 is not detected in step S22, the radio wave of the beacon device detected at this time is the radio wave of the car side beacon device 16, and the mobile terminal 15 performs the operation of step S24. However, the operation of step S24 may be performed after confirming that the radio wave of the landing side beacon device 12 is not detected for a certain period of time after detecting the radio wave of the car side beacon device 16. When the radio wave of the landing side beacon device 12 is detected within a certain period of time, the operation of step S23 may be performed. By performing such an operation, when there is no difference in the strength between the radio wave of the beacon device 16 on the car side and the radio wave of the beacon device 12 on the landing side received by the mobile terminal 15, such as when the car 6 is stopped on the boarding floor. Even if the car-side beacon device 16 is detected before the landing-side beacon device 12, the optimum boarding / alighting determination can be performed.
