TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an elevator control system and a control method thereof,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a lifting means radio control system capable of wirelessly controlling an elevating means via a mobile terminal and a control method thereof.

In order to manage the elevating means, a mechanic had to regularly visit the site on a regular basis to check the elevating means. As shown in FIG. 1, when a failure of the elevating means occurred, the user or the building manager had to receive the notification. In addition, since the repair engineer must go to the site to check the error code according to the failure of the elevating means, it was difficult to identify the failure in advance and respond quickly and appropriately.

Another prior art is to increase the management efficiency of the elevating means by storing the history of the existing failures on the database by making a check on the stock of substitute parts of the generated parts for quick action in case of a problem of the elevating means I have tried to try it.

However, it was also possible that a repairer could visit the site to identify the problem, and it was still difficult to deal with it promptly and promptly.

Accordingly, it is possible to grasp the problem quickly in advance in case of a failure of the elevator, and it is required to be able to take active, immediate and efficient management, rather than passive management to solve the problem through the report reception.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned needs, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a radio control system for elevating means through a mobile terminal and a method thereof, A mobile terminal capable of grasping a slight malfunction and a serious failure of the elevating means in advance and appropriately judging the necessity of on-site visit or radio control to prevent damages from the secondary accident of the elevating means, And a control method thereof.

The above object of the present invention can be achieved by an error code generation unit for generating an error code corresponding to a failure of an elevating means; A MEC unit including a message generator for receiving the generated error code and generating message information corresponding to the generated error code, and a communication unit for transmitting the generated message information to the mobile terminal and receiving a reset command signal from the mobile terminal. And a device controller for performing a reset to the elevating means based on the received reset command signal.

The MEC unit may further include a data transmission / reception unit for registering the number of the mobile terminal and applying a reset command signal or a restoration command signal based on the registered number.

The MEC apparatus may further include an image capturing unit that captures the inside of the elevating unit based on the error code to generate the first image information, and the communication unit may transmit the generated first image information to the mobile terminal.

The communication unit may generate at least one of audio information and second image information based on the message information, and transmit / receive the generated information to / from the mobile terminal.

Meanwhile, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of generating a fault code, the fault code generating method comprising the steps of: (S100) generating an error code corresponding to a fault occurrence of the elevator means; Receiving a generated error code by the message generating unit and generating message information corresponding to the generated error code (S130); The communication unit transmits the generated message information to the mobile terminal and receives a reset command from the mobile terminal (S150); And a step (S170) of causing the device control unit to perform a reset to the elevation means based on the received command signal.

According to an embodiment of the present invention as described above, the elevator radio control system and the control method thereof are provided through the mobile terminal, so that the repairer can automatically transmit the fault details to the mobile terminal .

Therefore, since the repairer can recognize the pre-failure information at the time of dispatching the field, rapid response is possible, and it is possible to omit the post-process of receiving the report.

In addition, it is possible to grasp the minor malfunction and serious malfunction of the lifting means without moving directly to the field through the received malfunction history of the mobile terminal, so that the necessary materials are prepared And can be processed by a wireless remote control in case of a minor failure.

On the other hand, when the passenger is trapped inside the elevator due to a failure in the elevator, which is one example of the elevating means of the present invention, the passenger can make a voice call through the interphone to the outside and a video call through the display device.

Therefore, it is possible to prevent the anxiety and the fear of the passengers trapped in the elevator from leading to secondary accidents.
