1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an elevator control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a flow chart showing an elevator control method according to an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to this embodiment The control apparatus and method of an elevator are as follows.

As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator control apparatus according to the present embodiment includes a sensor unit 110, a boarding guide unit 120, a wireless communication unit 130, a control unit 140, a weight sensing unit 150, and a driving unit 160. ).

The weight sensing unit 150 detects the weight of the current elevator occupant.

The sensor unit 110 is installed on a specific floor and senses a waiting passenger waiting for boarding on each floor.

The controller 140 determines whether the elevator is full based on the detected weight of the elevator occupant, and if the number of passengers waiting for the specific floor exceeds the current occupancy of the specific floor when the elevator is not full, the specific floor The boarding waiter will be informed of boarding

When determining whether the elevator is full, the control unit 140 determines whether there is a person who gets out of the elevator on the specific floor, and when there is a person who gets off the elevator, guides the boarding waiter of the specific floor.

Boarding guide unit 120 provides a boarding-related guide to the boarding waiter of the specific floor.

When the controller 140 guides the boarding waiter of the specific floor, the controller 140 guides the boarding personnel through the boarding guide 120 based on the detected weight of the elevator occupant and the detected number of boarding waiters.

The operation and control method of the elevator control apparatus according to the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2. The elevator control apparatus and control method according to the present embodiment targets all floors in which the elevator operates, and performs control of boarding guidance for each floor individually. Hereinafter, a control method for a specific layer will be described, and the control method is performed for each individual layer.

As shown in FIG. 2, first, the controller 140 detects the weight of the occupant currently in the elevator through the weight sensor 150 (S101). The controller 140 may determine or predict the number of occupants currently boarding based on the weight of the occupant and the average weight of the occupant. In addition, the controller 140 may estimate the additional occupant based on the identified number of occupants and the allowable weight of the elevator (the number of persons having an average weight).

Next, the control unit 140 detects a boarding waiter currently waiting for boarding on the specific floor through the sensor unit 110 installed in the specific floor (S102). The controller 140 may detect a boarding waiter in various ways. For example, the sensor unit 110 may capture a boarding waiter to obtain an image thereof, and the controller 140 may process and analyze an image acquired through the sensor 110 to determine the number of boarding waiters. At this time, as a method of determining the number of waiting passengers, various methods such as a method of identifying a passenger by extracting a color and a shape of a human hair from the image and a method of identifying a passenger by detecting a pupil of the waiting passenger may be employed. Can be. In addition, by installing a pressure sensor (such as a piezoelectric sensor) on the floor of the boarding waiting point outside the elevator, it is possible to determine the number of boarding waiters based on the number of objects detected by the pressure sensor.

Subsequently, the controller 140 determines whether the elevator is full based on the detected weight of the elevator occupant (S103). The controller 140 may determine that the elevator is full when the total weight of all occupants currently on board exceeds a specific reference value.

Next, if the elevator is not full, as a result of the determination in step S103, the controller 140 determines whether the number of passengers waiting for the specific floor exceeds the current occupancy (S104). As described above, the controller 140 may estimate the additional occupant based on the identified number of occupants and the allowable weight of the elevator (the number of persons of the average weight), and based on the number of occupants It is possible to determine if the number of people that can ride is exceeded.

If the determination result in step (S104), if the number of passengers waiting for the specific floor exceeds the current occupancy, the controller 140 performs a boarding guidance to the boarding waiter of the specific floor (S105). As such, when the number of waiting passengers on the specific floor exceeds the current occupancy, all passengers cannot ride in the elevator on the corresponding floor. Thus, the boarding guidance here means to inform the boarding waiter (s) of information such as whether all of the current boarding waiters can board the elevator, or how many of the boarding waiters can board the elevator. Anyone who has to move to the desired floor in a hurry can avoid wasting time and effort by constantly waiting for the elevator and failing to get on. Here, the controller 140 guides the boarding personnel through the boarding guide 120 based on the detected weight of the elevator occupant and the detected number of boarding waiters.

Subsequently, the controller 140 controls the driving unit 160 to stop the elevator (S106).

Of course, as a result of the determination in step S104, if the number of waiting passengers on the specific floor does not exceed the current occupancy, all of the waiting passengers may board the elevator, so that the controller 140 waits for waiting on the specific floor. The bus stops at the specific floor without providing the boarding guidance (106).

On the other hand, when the determination result in step S103 the elevator is full, the control unit 140 determines whether there is a person who gets off the elevator in the specific floor (S107).

If there is a person who gets off the specific floor, the control unit 140 proceeds to step S104 to determine whether the number of passengers waiting for the specific floor exceeds the current occupancy. At this time, the controller 140 determines whether the number of passengers waiting for the specific floor exceeds the current occupancy based on the weight of the current occupant minus the sum of the average weights of the people to get off the elevator. Since the following procedure is the same as described above, it is omitted.

On the other hand, if there is no person to get off the elevator in step S107, because there is no person who can get off in the state that there are no occupants, the elevator passes without stopping to the specific floor (S108).

In addition, according to the present embodiment, when the waiting waiter is not detected as a result of the waiting waiter detection of the specific floor, the controller 140 controls to pass through the specific floor without stopping even when the elevator lift button of the specific floor is pressed. can do. This is to eliminate the wasted time and inconvenience caused by the elevator stopping at the floor even when no one is waiting to board.

In addition, according to the present embodiment, when a passenger rides in an elevator, the controller 140 may output a screen for selecting a floor to go to a wireless terminal (not shown) of the passenger through the wireless communication unit 130. . This allows passengers to select and enter their desired floor more conveniently.

In addition, the controller 140 may determine the number of passengers currently in an elevator, the number of passengers waiting to be boarded in at least one other floor on the way to the specific floor, and the number of passengers waiting for the specific floor. The boarding guidance can be performed in advance to the boarding waiter. In other words, by accumulating the number of passengers waiting for boarding on the other floor (s) on the way to the specific floor, in addition to the passengers who are currently in the elevator, boarding the elevator when the elevator reaches the specific floor. The boarding guidance can be preemptively given to the boarding waiter in anticipation of the number of passengers being carried out and taken into account the number of boarding waiters on the specific floor.

As described above, the elevator control apparatus and control method according to the present embodiment by informing the user, in particular, the passengers who can use the elevator in advance, so that it can properly respond in advance in the event of non-boarding, unnecessary waste of time Prevents and enables more optimized control of the elevator.
