It is a flow chart showing the operating process.

Referring to FIG. 1, an information display system 100 displaying specific information in an elevator includes a communication unit 10, a wireless communication unit 20, a storage unit 30, an information output unit 40, and a control unit 50. do.

The communication unit 10 is for communicating with an elevator system, and may be, for example, a network communication means. For example, the information display system 100 receives door opening information about door opening/closing from the elevator system, information about the current floor and the destination floor pressed by passengers, weight information by a weight sensor provided in the elevator, etc. is received through the communication unit 10 as boarding information.

The short-range wireless communication unit 20 is a means for short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, and short-range wireless communication transmitted from a terminal device (eg, a smartphone, etc.) possessed by an external passenger. receive a signal In general, most terminal device users use a short-distance wireless communication function such as a Bluetooth function and a Wi-Fi function in a state in which they are always turned on. Recently, terminal devices such as smart phones are used in a state in which the Bluetooth function is always driven for functions such as wireless earphones and hands-free for vehicles. Therefore, terminal devices always transmit short-range wireless communication signals to the outside by this short-range wireless communication function, and the information display system 100 according to this embodiment receives the short-range wireless communication signals of terminal devices possessed by passengers so that passengers can identify.

The storage unit 30 stores various types of information (hereinafter referred to as promotional information) exposed to occupants inside the elevator. Company information, building fire response information, management room guidance information, etc. may be stored as building information.

The control unit 50 identifies the external wireless signal by the short-range wireless communication unit 20, calculates the number of passengers in the elevator, and selects the display information corresponding to the number of passengers from the storage unit 30. The short-range wireless communication signal includes unique information of the terminal device such as a MAC address. Therefore, the control unit 50 can identify each terminal device by checking the unique information included in the received external short-range wireless communication signal, and calculates the number of passengers using the number of terminal devices identified. And, among the stored promotional information, one or more is selected as display information according to the number of passengers. For example, when there is only one passenger, advertisement information effective for an individual is selected as display information, or when there are more than five passengers, important building information of the day registered in the management office may be preferentially selected. Of course, this is just one example, and the display information may be selected according to the number of passengers according to various criteria.

The information output unit 40 is for outputting information displayed, and may be, for example, a screen display unit such as a display and a sound source output unit such as a speaker.

Referring to FIG. 2 together, the information display system 100 calculates the number of passengers by identifying short-range wireless signals transmitted from terminal devices possessed by passengers in the elevator (S210). Then, among the promotional information including advertisement information and building information, display information corresponding to the number of passengers is selected (S220), and the selected display information is output (S230).

3 is a flowchart illustrating an information display process by interworking between an elevator system and an information display system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3 , as described above, the information display system 100 receives boarding information such as whether the door is open, weight information, and destination floor from the elevator system 300 .

Accordingly, the elevator system 300 provides the boarding information described above to the information display system 100 when the door is opened and closed and button manipulation for the destination floor is recognized (S310).

Then, the information display system 100 uses the weight information among the boarding information to calculate the number of passengers (S330), and uses the movement information (for example, the expected movement time) according to the current floor and the destination floor to select the display information. Use (S340).

For example, if the number of passengers calculated using a short-range wireless signal is 1, but the weight information is 150kg higher than when there is no person, it may be determined that 1 more person without a terminal device is on board. Of course, at this time, the number of passengers may be determined by further using the number of manipulated destination floors.

For another example, when it is determined that there is only one passenger and the weight information is increased by 50kg compared to when there is no passenger, it is determined that there is only one passenger and it is a woman, and advertisement information suitable for one woman can be used as display information. . That is, the weight information can also be used for selection of display information.

And, in selecting the expression information, movement information is used. For example, the presentation information can be selected with priority over the playback time corresponding to the expected movement time. For example, if the movement time is 20 seconds, it is close to 20 seconds. Priority is given to display information having a reproduction time.

According to an example, the control unit 50 of the information display system 100 converts passenger information including unique information corresponding to an external wireless signal into a DB, stores it in the storage unit 30, and then refers to the passenger information to determine the passenger information. By analyzing the type, it can be used to select the expression information. For example, if the previous boarding history of the current passenger is greater than or equal to a certain number, the type may be set to resident, and if the boarding history is less than a certain number, the type may be set to an associate or a first-time visitor if there is no boarding history.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a process of selecting expression information using DBized passenger information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the information display system 100 converts unique information (for example, beer, etc.) according to a wireless signal and passenger information about the output expression information into a DB and stores it (S410).

Subsequently, based on the passenger information, the type of the currently boarded passenger is analyzed (S420). As in the above example, the type of passenger is analyzed as one of residents, officials, and first-time visitors. Of course, if there are multiple passengers, the type of each passenger is analyzed.

Referring to the history according to the analyzed type and passenger information (for example, identifying the expression information output as the history of each passenger), expression information is selected (S430). For example, if the passenger is only person A and there is expression information 1 output as the history of passenger A, other expression information other than expression information 1 is selected to prevent the same expression information from being repeatedly displayed to the same person. Alternatively, the number of repetitions may be limited by outputting the same display information less than a certain number of times.

5 is a flowchart illustrating a display process of display information according to a single passenger according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 5 , when the number of passengers is calculated (S510), the information display system 100 determines whether there is only one passenger (or moves to one destination floor) (S520).

If there is only one person, the playback speed of the selected display information is set to correspond to the expected travel time to the destination floor (S530). For example, if the current floor is the 1st floor and the destination floor is the 20th floor, and the expected movement time is 25 seconds, the reproduction speed of the display information having a reproduction time of 30 seconds is changed to be reproduced in 25 seconds.

Unlike this, if there are not one but a plurality of passengers or a plurality of destinations, the display information is normally output (S540).

Of course, when all other passengers get off and only one person remains, and the playback of the previously played display information ends (or when playback time is running out), a new customized display information is selected to play at a playback speed suitable for the remaining estimated travel time. can also be output as

6 is a flowchart illustrating a process of changing or maintaining expression information using elevator door open information according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6, when the information display system 100 acquires information about opening and closing elevator doors from the elevator system 300 (S610), it determines whether the change in the number of passengers is less than a threshold value (S620). .

If the change in the number of passengers is less than the threshold, the output information is maintained (S630), and if the change in the number of passengers is greater than the threshold, the display information is reselected according to the number of passengers and output (S640).

According to the present embodiment, by changing real-time display information according to passengers getting on and off, more useful information can be quickly delivered to passengers.

A computer program stored in a computer-readable medium may be provided to perform the operating method in the elevator information display system displaying passenger-customized information according to the present invention described above.

In addition, the operating method in the elevator information display system displaying the passenger-customized information according to the above can be implemented as computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium. Computer-readable recording media includes all types of recording media in which data that can be decoded by a computer system is stored. For example, there may be read only memory (ROM), random access memory (RAM), magnetic tape, magnetic disk, flash memory, optical data storage device, and the like. In addition, the computer-readable recording medium may be distributed to computer systems connected through a computer communication network, and stored and executed as readable codes in a distributed manner.

In addition, although the above has been described with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention, those skilled in the art can make the present invention within the scope not departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the claims below.
