6 is a touch panel operation panel. This touch panel operation panel 6 is provided below the turn light 5 in the building wall between both landing entrances and exits 2. This touch panel operation panel 6 includes a color liquid crystal panel 7 and a display control device 8.

The color liquid crystal panel 7 exposes the transflective display part to the boarding point 1 side. The color liquid crystal panel 7 has a function as a touch panel and an image scanner by mounting an optical sensor (photodiode) and an amplifier on a glass base. That is, the color liquid crystal panel 7 has a function of taking in an image of an object in contact with the display unit. Specifically, the color liquid crystal panel 7 is provided with the function which takes in a user's fingerprint by a scanner function, when the user's finger of an elevator contacts a display part.

The display control apparatus 8 performs fingerprint authentication based on the fingerprint of the user which the color liquid crystal panel 7 took in, and displays the operation screen of the elevator according to the user specified by the fingerprint authentication to the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7. It has a function to display.

Next, the fingerprint authentication method by the touch panel operation panel 6 is demonstrated using FIG.

2 is an authentication screen of an operation panel of an elevator in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In Fig. 2, 9 is an authentication screen. This authentication screen 9 is displayed on the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7. The guidance display is made on the upper side of this authentication screen 9 "Please contact a panel." Below this guide display, a horizontally long rectangular frame is displayed. Thereby, the user is urged to contact the finger 10 within the rectangular range. When the user's finger 10 touches the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7, the color liquid crystal panel 7 takes a fingerprint from the user's finger 10.

And the display control apparatus 8 performs authentication, matching the fingerprint which the color liquid crystal panel 7 took in with the fingerprint data for authentication previously stored. This authentication fingerprint data is stored in a manner of distinguishing ordinary passengers, maintenance workers, and managers. The display control device 8 determines whether the authenticated user is a general passenger, a maintenance worker or a manager.

Next, the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7 after fingerprint matching is demonstrated using FIGS.

3 is a display screen in the case where the user is fingerprint-identified as a general passenger in the elevator operating panel according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 3, when a user is fingerprint-identified as a general passenger, the destination floor registration screen 11 is displayed. Specifically, "1" to "6" are surrounded by a square frame and arranged two-dimensionally as a destination floor button of 1-6 layers, respectively. Thereby, the general passenger is notified that call registration of the first to sixth floors is possible.

Fig. 4 is a display screen in the case where the user is fingerprint-certified as a repairman by the elevator operating panel according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the maintenance mode of the operation panel of the elevator in Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 4, when the user is fingerprint-identified as a maintenance worker, the maintenance screen 12 is displayed. Specifically, "maintenance mode" is displayed above the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7. Moreover, "END" is displayed as a maintenance end button under the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7.

In addition, "1" to "8" are displayed on the center left side of the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7 as the destination floor buttons on the 1st to 8th floors. , "RUN", "STOP", "ON", and "OFF". The maintenance person can perform various elevator operations by contacting the said destination floor button and various operation buttons. That is, maintenance of an elevator by a maintenance worker can be performed, without providing an opening door and a maintenance exclusive switch in an operation panel.

Here, the general passenger does not use the elevator at the time of maintenance of the elevator. For this reason, workability of maintenance is more important than security at the time of maintenance. That is, the maintenance worker does not return to the normal mode until the maintenance touches the end button.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in step S1, the maintenance screen 12 of FIG. 4 is displayed, and the flow proceeds to step S2. In step S2, it is determined whether or not the finger 10 has touched any operation button. If the finger 10 does not touch any of the operation buttons, the control proceeds to step S3. In step S3, it is determined whether or not the finger 10 has touched the maintenance end button. If the finger 10 has not touched the maintenance end button, the control returns to step S2.

When the finger 10 touches the maintenance end button, the control proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the operation returns to the normal mode and the operation ends. On the other hand, in step S2, when the finger 10 touches any one operation button, it progresses to step S5. In step S5, the predetermined elevator operation corresponding to the operation button which the finger 10 touched is registered, and it returns to step S1.

Fig. 6 is a display screen when the user is fingerprint-identified as an administrator in the elevator operating panel according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart for demonstrating operation | movement of the secret mode of the operation panel of an elevator in Embodiment 1 of this invention.

As shown in FIG. 6, when a user is fingerprint-identified as an administrator, the secret layer registration screen 13 is displayed. Specifically, the "secret layer registration mode" is displayed above the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7. In this case, in addition to "1"-"6", "7" and "8" are displayed by enclosing a double square frame as a destination floor button of seventh and eighth floors, respectively. By displaying the destination floor button, the manager can register the call on the seventh and eighth floors as well as the first to sixth floors. That is, the manager can go to the seventh and eighth floors that are not permitted for regular passengers.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7, the secret layer registration mode screen 13 of FIG. 6 is displayed in step S11, and the processing proceeds to step S12. In step S12, it is determined whether or not the finger 10 has touched the destination floor button before the predetermined time has elapsed. If the finger 10 contacts the destination floor button before the predetermined time has passed, the process proceeds to step S13, where the destination floor corresponding to the destination floor button that the finger 10 has contacted is registered. Thereafter, the flow advances to step S14, the mode is changed to the normal mode, and the operation ends. On the other hand, in step S12, if the finger 10 does not touch the destination floor button before a predetermined time has elapsed, the operation ends without passing through steps S13 and S14 for security maintenance.

Fig. 8 is a display screen when fingerprint authentication is not performed at the elevator operating panel in the first embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 8, when the user is not one of the general passenger, the maintenance worker, or the manager and is not fingerprint authenticated, an error message screen 14 is displayed.

Specifically, it is displayed on the upper side of the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7 by being enclosed by the rectangular frame which is long as "authentication NG". Moreover, "the elevator cannot operate" is displayed in the center of the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7. This informs the user that the elevator cannot be used.

Next, a series of operations on the touch panel operation panel 6 will be described with reference to FIG. 9.

9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator operating panel in the first embodiment of the present invention.

First, in step S21, as an initial state, the authentication screen 9 of FIG. 2 is displayed on the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7, and it progresses to step S22. In step S22, when the user's finger 10 contacts the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7, the finger 10 is detected by the color liquid crystal panel 7. Then, the color liquid crystal panel 7 takes in the fingerprint from the finger 10 and proceeds to step S23. In step S23, fingerprint matching is performed. If the fingerprint is verified by fingerprint matching, the flow proceeds to step S24. In step S24, it is determined whether the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is a normal passenger.

If the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is a normal passenger, the flow proceeds to step S25. In step S25, the destination floor registration screen 11 of Fig. 3 is displayed, and the flow proceeds to step S26. In step S26, it is determined whether or not the finger 10 has touched any destination floor button before the predetermined time has elapsed. If the finger 10 has not touched any of the destination floor buttons before a predetermined time has elapsed, the process returns to step S21 to prevent a person who is not fingerprint authenticated from operating the destination floor button and maintain security. On the other hand, when the finger 10 contacts the destination floor button before the predetermined time has passed, the process proceeds to step S27. In step S27, the destination floor corresponding to the destination floor button touched by the finger 10 is registered, and the operation ends.

In step S24, if the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is not a normal passenger, the flow proceeds to step S28. In step S28, it is determined whether or not the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is a maintenance worker. If the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is a maintenance worker, the flow proceeds to step S29. In step S29, the mode goes into the maintenance mode described with reference to Figs. 4 and 5, and the operation ends.

On the other hand, in step S28, if the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is not a maintenance worker, the flow proceeds to step S30. In step S30, it is determined whether or not the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is an administrator. If the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is an administrator, the flow proceeds to step S31. In step S31, the system enters the incognito mode described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, and the operation ends.

In contrast, in step S30, if the user whose fingerprint has been authenticated is not an administrator, the flow proceeds to step S32. In step S32, other modes are entered and the operation ends. These other modes are set in response to various customer requests. For example, when a user is fingerprinted as a physically handicapped person registered in advance, an operation screen of an elevator suitable for the physically handicapped using a wheelchair is displayed on the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7.

In the case where the fingerprint is not authenticated in step S23, the flow proceeds to step S33. In step S33, the error message screen 14 shown in Fig. 8 is displayed on the display unit of the color liquid crystal panel 7, and the flow returns to step S11 to repeat the above operation.

According to Embodiment 1 demonstrated above, the display control apparatus 8 performs fingerprint authentication based on the fingerprint of the user which the color liquid crystal panel 7 took in, and displays the operation screen of the elevator according to the user specified by fingerprint authentication. It is made to display on the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7. For this reason, personal authentication can be performed without providing a device for identifying an individual such as a fingerprint matching device, a card reader, a keypad, and the like. Can be planned.

Moreover, the operation screen of the elevator suitable for various users can be displayed on one display screen. Moreover, when applied to the elevator of an apartment, security can be improved.

In addition, in Embodiment 1, it demonstrated the case where the touch panel operation panel 6 was provided in the boarding point 1. However, the touch panel operating panel 6 may be provided in the car. In this case, you may display the operation screen of the air conditioner which air-conditions inside a cage | basket | car, and the authentication apparatus which illuminates the inside of a cage | basket | car as a manager screen. Moreover, it is good also as a structure which takes in a user's fingerprint in arbitrary positions of the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7. In this case, the touch panel operation panel 6 of the universal design which can easily perform fingerprint authentication work, such as a tall user, a short user, a wheelchair user, can be provided.

In Embodiment 1, as shown in step S26 of FIG. 9, when a finger 10 does not touch any destination floor button within a predetermined time, it returns to step S21 and the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7 has the authentication screen 9 Was supposed to return to). However, there is a possibility that the registration of the destination floor may fail because the user incorrectly touches the position away from the destination floor button. Therefore, in Embodiment 2, when the user's finger 10 contacts the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7 within a predetermined time, the display of the destination floor button is maintained, and the display of the authentication screen 9 is not returned. . Hereinafter, the point different from Embodiment 1 is demonstrated.

As shown in FIG. 10, in step S34 after step S25, it is determined whether the finger 10 has been detected by the color liquid crystal panel 7 before a predetermined time has passed. If the finger 10 is detected before the predetermined time has passed, the process proceeds to step S35. In step S35, it is determined whether the finger 10 has touched any destination floor button. If the finger 10 contacts the destination floor button, the flow advances to step S27, where the destination floor corresponding to the destination floor button that the finger 10 has contacted is registered. On the other hand, when the finger 10 has not touched any destination floor button, the process returns to step S34 again, and only when the finger 10 is not detected before a predetermined time has elapsed, the authentication screen 9 of step S21. Return to the mark.

According to Embodiment 2 demonstrated above, when the user's finger 10 is detected in other than the display position of the destination floor button of the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7, within the predetermined time, the display control apparatus 8 The display of the destination floor button is held on the panel 7. For this reason, the operability of the touch panel operation panel 6 can be improved more.

11 is a destination floor registration screen of an operation panel of an elevator in Embodiment 3 of the present invention. 12 is a display screen in the case where fingerprint authentication is not performed at the elevator operating panel in the third embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same or equivalent part as Embodiment 1, and description is abbreviate | omitted.

In Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 2, in the initial state, the authentication screen 9 dedicated to fingerprint authentication was displayed. On the other hand, in Embodiment 3, in the initial state, the destination floor registration screen 15 equivalent to FIG. 3 of Embodiment 1 is displayed in an initial state. In Embodiment 3, when a user's finger 16 contacts a destination floor button, fingerprint authentication is performed and registration of a destination floor is performed. In FIG. 11, fingerprint authentication is performed by the user's finger 16 contacting the destination floor button 17 indicated by "6", and the sixth floor is registered as the destination floor. At this time, the destination floor button 17 indicated by "6" lights up. Thereby, the user is notified that the sixth floor has been registered as the destination floor.

In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, even when a finger 18 of a user who is not fingerprint authenticated touches a destination floor button, the destination floor is not registered. That is, in FIG. 12, even if the finger 18 of the user who has not been fingerprint authenticated touches the destination floor button 17 indicated by "6", the sixth floor is not registered as the destination floor. At this time, it is displayed as "error message 19" below the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7 as "the 6th floor cannot be guided."

Next, the operation of the touch panel operation panel 6 according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 13.

It is a flowchart for demonstrating operation | movement of the operation panel of an elevator in Embodiment 3 of this invention.

First, in step S41, the destination floor registration screen 15 is displayed on the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7 as an initial state, and the flow proceeds to step S42. In step S42, when the user's fingers 16 and 18 contact the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7, the fingers 16 and 18 are detected by the color liquid crystal panel 7. Then, the color liquid crystal panel 7 receives the fingerprint from the fingers 16 and 18, and proceeds to step S43. In step S43, it is determined whether the finger 16, 18 has touched any destination floor button.

If the fingers 16 and 18 do not touch any of the destination floor buttons, the control returns to step S41. On the other hand, if the finger 16, 18 has touched any destination floor button, the control proceeds to step S44. In step S44, fingerprint matching is performed. When fingerprint authentication is performed by fingerprint matching, the flow advances to step S45. As shown in Fig. 11, the destination floor corresponding to the destination floor button touched by the finger 16 is registered, and the operation ends. On the other hand, if the user is not fingerprint authenticated, the process proceeds to step S46, as shown in FIG. 12, an error message 19 is displayed, and the process returns to step S41.

In addition, the button to display as an initial state will not be specifically limited if it is an operation button of an elevator. In other words, it is sufficient to have a configuration capable of simultaneously registering fingerprint matching and operation of the elevator.

According to Embodiment 3 demonstrated above, when the display control apparatus 8 displays the operation button of an elevator previously on the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7, and the user's fingers 16 and 18 contacted the operation button. Then, fingerprint matching is performed, and when fingerprint authentication is performed by fingerprint matching, the operation of the elevator corresponding to the operation button is registered. For this reason, fingerprint authentication and destination floor registration can be performed simultaneously by a user's operation, and operability improves. In addition, the operation efficiency of the elevator can be improved thereby.

Embodiment 4.

14 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator operating panel in accordance with the fourth embodiment of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same or equivalent part as Embodiment 3, etc., and description is abbreviate | omitted.

In Embodiment 3, fingerprint authentication was required for registration of all floors. On the other hand, in Embodiment 4, only a specific layer needs fingerprint authentication. Specifically, the fourth embodiment is an elevator of six stops, while the first to fifth floors do not require fingerprint authentication and can be guided to a general passenger, but the sixth floor only guides a specific person who has been fingerprint authenticated. Hereinafter, the operation of the touch panel operation panel 6 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 14.

First, in step S41, the destination floor registration screen 15 is displayed on the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7 as an initial state, and the flow proceeds to step S42. In step S42, when the user's fingers 16 and 18 contact the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7, the fingers 16 and 18 are detected by the color liquid crystal panel 7. Then, the color liquid crystal panel 7 receives the fingerprint from the fingers 16 and 18, and proceeds to step S47. In step S47, it is determined whether the fingers 16 and 18 have touched the destination floor button corresponding to the sixth floor.

When the fingers 16 and 18 contact the destination floor buttons corresponding to the sixth floor, the process proceeds to step S48. In step S48, fingerprint matching is performed. If the fingerprint is verified in the fingerprint collation, the flow proceeds to step S49. In step S49, the sixth floor is registered as the destination floor. On the other hand, if fingerprint matching is not performed, the process proceeds to step S50. In step S50, an error message 19 is displayed, and the flow returns to step S41.

On the other hand, in step S47, when the fingers 16 and 18 do not contact the destination floor buttons corresponding to the sixth floor, the process proceeds to step S51. In step S51, it is determined whether the fingers 16 and 18 have touched the destination floor buttons corresponding to the floors other than the sixth floor. When the fingers 16 and 18 contact the destination floor buttons corresponding to the floors 16 and 18 other than the sixth floor, the flow proceeds to step S49, where the destination floor corresponding to the destination floor button the fingers 16 and 18 touches. It is registered and the operation ends. In contrast, when the fingers 16 and 18 do not contact the destination floor buttons corresponding to the floors other than the sixth floor, the process returns to step S41.

According to Embodiment 4 demonstrated above, when the user's fingers 16 and 18 contact a specific destination floor button among a plurality of destination floor buttons, a fingerprint authentication is performed and the destination corresponding to a specific destination floor button is performed. The floor is registered. On the other hand, when the user's fingers 16 and 18 contact a destination floor button other than a specific destination floor button, fingerprint matching is not performed, and a destination floor corresponding to a destination floor button other than the specific destination floor button is registered. do. For this reason, the operation efficiency of an elevator can be improved further.

Embodiment 5:

15 is a display screen in the case where a destination floor is input to an operation panel of an elevator in Embodiment 5 of the present invention. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to 1st Embodiment etc., and description is abbreviate | omitted.

In Embodiment 1, a destination layer was registered by contacting the destination floor button displayed on the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7. On the other hand, in Embodiment 5, on the holographic registration screen 20 of the color liquid crystal panel 7, a finger is drawn by handwriting operation, and a destination layer is registered. At this time, fingerprint authentication is also performed at the same time.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, "Please overwrite the destination layer with a finger" is displayed above the holographic registration screen 20 in the initial state. Thereby, the user is urged to overwrite the destination floor on the holographic registration screen 20. In FIG. 15, the user's finger 21 overwrites "3" on the holographic registration screen 20. The color liquid crystal panel 7 takes in the movement trajectory of the finger 21 using the scanner function. The display control device 8 determines whether or not the trajectory of the finger 21 inserted into the color liquid crystal panel 7 and the character "3" registered in advance coincide with each other, and perform character recognition.

Next, the operation of the touch panel operation panel 6 according to the fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 16.

16 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator operating panel in accordance with the fifth embodiment of the present invention.

First, in step S61, the handwritten registration screen 20 of FIG. 15 is displayed on the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7 as an initial state, and the flow proceeds to step S62. In step S62, when the user's finger 21 contacts the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7, the finger 21 is detected by the color liquid crystal panel 7. Then, the color liquid crystal panel 7 takes in the fingerprint from the finger 21, and proceeds to step S63.

In step S63, fingerprint matching is performed. If fingerprint authentication is performed by fingerprint matching, the flow proceeds to step S64. In step S64, the character identification determination is made, and the flow proceeds to step S65. In step S65, it is determined whether or not the character pattern matches. If the character patterns match, the flow proceeds to step S66. In step S66, the destination floor corresponding to the number matching the character pattern is registered. In contrast, when the fingerprint is not verified by fingerprint matching in step S63 or when the character pattern does not match in step S65, the flow advances to step S67. In step S67, the same error message screen 14 as in Fig. 8 of the first embodiment is displayed, and the flow returns to step S61.

In addition, the character which should be recognized is not limited only to the number corresponding to a destination layer. In other words, if the operation of various elevators is made to correspond to various characters, it is sufficient to have a configuration in which the operation of various elevators can be registered by overwriting various characters on the display portion of the color liquid crystal panel 7.

According to Embodiment 5 described above, the display control apparatus 8 performs character recognition based on the movement trace of the finger 21 on the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7, and respond | corresponds to the character recognized by character recognition. Register the operation of the elevator. For this reason, the display part of the color liquid crystal panel 7 can be made simple. Thereby, the design and visibility of the color liquid crystal panel 7 can be improved.
