The information of the passkey 2 that can be carried by the resident may include an RFID code informing the destination floor information of the elevator. In this case, the first and second readers 10 and 20 may be RFID readers.

The call control unit 50 may receive information on the holder of the passkey 2 provided to the parking position database 70 in connection with the parking position server.

The elevator reader 30 installed in the elevator and receiving the information of the pass key for assuring certainty of the elevator call signal or elevator down operation can function as a third reader.

The pass key 2 may be a passive RFID tag or an active RFID tag, and is not particularly limited in any of the embodiments of the present invention.

1, a hole reader 20 having the same structure and function as the public door reader 10 is provided, but a human body sensor can be installed by removing the hole reader 20.

That is, the human body detection sensor is disposed closer to the elevator than the common entrance reader 10, and senses the human body holding the passkey.

In this case, the elevator call server 50, which is the call control unit, transmits the pass key 2 to the human body detection sensor 20-1 after the reader 10 receives the information of the pass key 2. [ And generates an elevator call signal and transmits it to the elevator controller when it is determined that the human body is detected.

The elevator call signal may include automatic pressing information with the resident layer of the holder holding the pass key 2 as the elevation target floor. The information (2) of the pass key includes an RFID code informing the target layer information of the elevator, and the reader (10) may be an RFID reader.

An elevator interrogator installed in the elevator for receiving assurance of the elevator call signal or elevator down operation and receiving the information of the pass key when the hall reader 20 is replaced with the human body sensor 20-1, (30) may be further provided.

As another alternative, the elevator automatic call generator may replace the common entrance reader 10 of FIG. 1 with a human body sensor when it is removed. In this case, the reader / writer 20 is installed closer to the elevator than the human body sensor 10-1, and functions as an RFID reader for receiving the information of the passkey 2.

Accordingly, the call control unit may be configured such that the RFID reader as the hall reader 20 receives information of the pass key 2 after the human body sensor 10-1 detects a human body holding the pass key 2 An elevator call signal is generated and transmitted to the elevator controller.

Here, the human body sensor may be an ultrasonic sensor or an infrared sensor.

In the standby state, the second RF transceiver 130 operates to sense access of the passkey 2. [ When the access of the passkey 2 is detected, the reader transitions to the active state and the first RF transceiver 110 is driven. The first RF transceiver 110 reads the unique ID information stored in the pass key 2. It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited thereto and that the information (key ID) of the passkey can be read using only the first RF transceiver 110 or the second RF transceiver 130 . Also, information of the pass key can be read through communication in the GHz band. When the information of the pass key is read and the registration table or the parking position information (hereinafter referred to as UPIS) database is matched, the cops and lakes of the apartment house where the passkey holder lives can be grasped.

The microcontrol unit 140 may be implemented as an ATMEGA 128. 5 and 6, the microcontroller unit 140 outputs the key ID of the pass key through a corresponding one of the lines L10, L20 and L30 of FIG. do.

5 is a flow chart of elevator automatic call generation control according to FIG.

5, when the key ID and the reader ID are received from the common entrance reader in step S501, the control unit 530 obtains the line information of the apartment where the apartment is located using the key ID.

In step S502, it is checked whether the same line information matches.

If the line and line information match, the operation of storing the resident information and the key ID is executed in step S503. For example, Key # 102 and key # 301 may be stored as AF0EAF1234567890.

In step S504, it is checked whether information is received from the hall reader 20 in Fig. 1 within the set time. If the information is received at the hall reader 20, it can be determined that the user is intending to board the elevator.

When the information is received from the hall reader 20, the key ID received from the hall reader 20 and the key ID stored in step S503 are compared with each other in step S505.

If the comparison results in step S506, it is apparent that the user is going to board the elevator, so steps S507 and S508 are performed in order.

In operation S507, elevator call information including the boarding layer and the destination layer is generated and transmitted to the elevator server. By executing the step S507, the user can have a state in which the elevator is called and the destination layer is automatically input, just by walking toward the elevator. Thus, when both hands are loaded with heavy loads, they have a convenient advantage since they do not have to call the elevator or act to press the destination floor.

The step S508 is a step of selectively deleting the information stored in the steps after receiving the reception response message from the elevator server.

6 is a flow chart of the elevator descent control according to Fig.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the key ID and the reader ID are received from the elevator reader 30 in step S601, the controller 530 reads the user ID information using the key ID in step S602. If it is determined in step S603 that the parking position (UPIS) information is present at the time of reading the occupant information, step S604 is performed.

That is, when the elevator reader 30 installed at the entrance of the elevator gate where the elevator ascends and descends reads the key ID of the pass key, the elevator call information is transmitted by the controller 530 to the elevator server. In this case, when the UPIS information is present, the parked layer of the user's vehicle becomes the destination layer when the elevator is lowered. On the other hand, when there is no UPIS information, the lobby layer becomes a target layer when the elevator is lowered.

It can be checked in step S605 whether or not it has passed the common entrance reader.

7 is an exemplary diagram of a pass key registration table related to FIG.

Referring to FIG. 7, there is shown an example of a table configuration in which the ID and password of the apartment house corresponding to the ID of the passkey, UPIS information, and telephone number are registered.

For example, a user with a passkey ID of AF0EAF1234567890 is living in Room 102, Room 301, and the parking position in the most recently parked parking area is B2-107F on the second floor. It is also shown that the user's telephone number is registered as 010-3380-1254 when necessary.

8 is an exemplary diagram of a reader registration table related to Fig.

Referring to FIG. 8, as a registration table related to a reader, reader # 7 is a reader installed in lines 102 and # 1, and in the case of 13 layers, it is a reader in charge of 201, 201, 301, 302, ... 1301 and 1302.

According to the embodiments of the present invention as described above, the pressing operation or the touch operation for elevator call or destination layer is removed. Therefore, the convenience of the user or resident is optimized, and the waiting time for boarding the elevator is minimized or reduced.

If the destination floor is not displayed automatically without being automatically called for boarding the elevator, it turns out to be a resident of the household, which is advantageous for household security.
