The present invention is for virus prevention and quick and simple elevator passenger transportation. When a passenger displays the number of the destination floor and number of passengers on the screen of the smartphone and presents the same to the camera of an elevator button panel in a non-contact manner, a control unit reads the destination floor and the number of passengers and calculates the transport load. In a method of the present invention, efficient operation plans and transportation plans are established by comprehensively judging the waiting floor of the entire building, the expected number of passengers, and the destination floor to allocate and operate the elevator car.

Description

{Apparatus and methods of elevators to calculate passenger transport loads by equipped with cameras that read the target number of floors on a passenger's mobile phone}

The present invention relates to a short-distance contactless calling method and apparatus for automatically inputting the destination floor and calculating the transport load after the camera of the elevator reads the destination floor number on the smartphone presented by the passenger when using the elevator.

When using the elevator, the passenger presses the number button for the destination floor to which he or she wants to go. At this time, a non-contact method is being developed to prevent hygiene problems such as viruses and bacteria on the button. Due to the Corona 19 (virus) in early 2020, passengers are more reluctant to touch public facilities such as elevator buttons and knobs compared to conventional ones.

At the same time, there is a need for a method for promptly transporting while reducing contact between passengers as much as possible.

1 to 2 are analysis of the current state and problems of the prior art related to the non-contact method, identification and analysis of the transport load.

In Fig. 1, No. 1 relates to an elevator call in a general building. In general buildings used by the general public, such as shopping malls, hospitals, offices, officetels, and transportation facilities (railroad stations, airports, subways), there is generally an elevator call button on the entrance floor (lobby) and on each floor.

There are only two up and down buttons on this button and there is no button to enter the floor you want to go to. In order to install a plurality of buttons on each floor, the installation space on the wall of the elevator hall is insufficient, the cost increases, and the aesthetics is not good.

Therefore, a simple function to input the number of floors to the hall wall is required.

No. 2 in FIG. 1 relates to a floor number input panel of a high-end office. In high-end office buildings, such as skyscrapers, there is a touch numeric panel on the wall for entering the number of floors. The panel must be touched, and in the case of more than 10 layers, two or more touches are required.

Therefore, there is a need for a method to simply and quickly input the number of floors without touching.

No. 3 of FIG. 1 relates to a touch numeric panel in a hall, and the price of the panel is high and maintenance is difficult. Therefore, there is a need for a simple and quick way to input the number of floors instead of a panel.

No. 4 in FIG. 1 relates to the use of the touch numeric panel in the hall, and when entering the number of floors, the number of passengers cannot be input. Therefore, it is necessary to calculate the actual passenger transport load and figure out the number of people for countermeasures.

No. 5 of FIG. 1 relates to the use of the touch number panel in the hall, and when entering the number of floors, the number panel must be touched. Therefore, it is necessary to enter the number of floors and number of passengers without contact to prevent viruses.

No. 6 of FIG. 2 relates to the number of passengers, and it is not possible to input the number of passengers. Therefore, it is necessary to input the number of people together with entering the number of floors.

No. 7 of FIG. 2 relates to the conventional non-contact floor number input. To input the number of floors button through ultrasonic wave, optical sensor, or finger humidity, place your finger at a distance of 1~2cm from the button.

In addition, there is an increase in cost and difficulty in maintenance due to the installation of a finger recognition function on a plurality of floor buttons. Therefore, it is necessary to input the number of floors from a short distance of about 10 to 30 cm along with a method to input the number of floors instead of a finger.

3 is a functional analysis table according to the prior art (conventional).

No. 1 of FIG. 3 relates to a floor number input (LED) panel installed in an elevator hall, and is a finger contact method, and although floor number input is possible, input of the number of people is difficult and expensive, and maintenance cost is high, product size is large, and aesthetics is not good.

No. 2 of FIG. 3 relates to the up and down buttons installed in the hall, it is a contact method, and the number of floors and the number of people cannot be input.

No. 3 of FIG. 3 relates to the attachment of the antibacterial film, it is a contact method, the number of floors and the number of people cannot be input, must be replaced, and the aesthetics is not good.

No. 4 of FIG. 3 relates to the existing non-contact method, and although it is non-contact, it is a 1-2 cm proximity method, the number of floors and the number of people cannot be input, and it is expensive and expensive to maintain because it has to be installed on each button, and the product size and aesthetics are not good .

No. 5 of FIG. 3 relates to an application method for residents of an apartment house, and it is contactless and floor number input is possible, but it cannot be used in general buildings (hospitals, shopping malls), and you must sign up for a membership and use mobile communication.

4 to 5 are problems according to the prior art, required performance, and a technology (embodiment) that can be solved.

No. 1 of FIG. 4 relates to satisfying the non-contact function for preventing bacteria and viruses, and it is necessary to perform input at a distance of 10 cm to 30 cm rather than the proximity distance of non-contact input with a finger at a distance of 1 cm to 2 cm, which is the conventional method.

Possible methods include web input, voice input, RFID tag, and optical recognition method using a camera.

No. 2 in FIG. 4 relates to satisfying the function of inputting the number of floors a passenger wants to go to at the entrance floor (lobby) and the elevator hall of each floor. do.

A possible method is to input the number of floors in a non-contact manner in the hall of each floor, and there are web input, voice input, and optical device (camera). RFID is excluded because the target layer is fixed in the chip, and membership registration is required.

No. 3 of FIG. 4 relates to satisfying the function of inputting the number of passengers, that is, the number of passengers, and it is possible to calculate the actual transportation load and efficiently operate it only by knowing where and where how many passengers go.

Possible methods include non-contact input of the number of people in the hall on each floor, and there are web input, voice input, and optical device (camera). RFID is excluded because only one person is input and multiple entries are not allowed.

4 of FIG. 4 relates to satisfying the function of calling without installing an elevator calling app, and when using a building used by a large number of public such as shopping malls, hospitals, hotels, officetels, etc. It has to be done, so its effectiveness is low.

Therefore, the method of using the app is excluded in facilities used by the general public except for residential residents such as apartments and office workers such as offices. Possible methods include voice input, optics (camera), and RFID.

No. 5 of FIG. 4 relates to satisfying the function of preventing bacteria and viruses, and contact, quasi-contact, and proximity non-contact (1 to 2 cm) approaches with voice input should be excluded. Possible methods include optical devices (cameras) and RFID.

No. 6 of FIG. 5 relates to a non-contact type having a function of inputting a target layer but having a low installation cost, and there are optical devices (cameras) and RFID.

Possible methods include voice input, optics (camera), and RFID.

No. 9 of FIG. 5 is a non-contact type and has a function of inputting a target floor, but the aesthetics should not be bad, and having a plurality of buttons on each floor is excluded because the aesthetics is not good.

No. 10 of FIG. 5 relates to a simple and easy installation of a function for inputting a destination floor without contact in an existing elevator and a newly manufactured elevator, and there are voice input, optical device (camera), and RFID. .

6 is an analysis of the characteristics and performance of the non-contact method.

No. 1 in Figure 6 relates to the use of the elevator using the app (application). The web for residents, such as apartment houses, has the advantage of being medium-distance non-contact and allowing you to input the number of floors, but in general buildings such as hospitals and shopping malls, there is no web or wireless communication Maintenance cost is high, and membership registration is required. Therefore, the method using the web is limited to membership systems such as apartment houses.

No. 2 in FIG. 6 is a method in which passengers input using their own voice, which is medium-distance non-contact, and has the advantage of being able to input the number of destination floors and number of passengers by voice. There is a problem of propagation.

However, it can be used quickly and simply when using it alone without a passenger.

No. 3 in FIG. 6 is an input method using RFID, which distributes and registers cards through membership registration, and is suitable for people who live regularly such as houses or offices, but cannot be used in general buildings such as hospitals and shopping malls and cannot be used for installation costs and maintenance cost is high and it is difficult to apply to existing facilities.

No. 4 of FIG. 6 is a close-distance non-contact method, and there are ultrasonic waves, optical, antibacterial film, finger humidity detection, etc., and you have to put your finger in close proximity to the button on each floor. However, since it is not possible to install the buttons for each floor in the hall, the target floor and number of people cannot be entered, the installation and maintenance cost is high, the product size is large, the aesthetics is not good, and it is difficult to modify and use the existing product. Therefore, the close-distance non-contact method is most effective in preventing bacteria and viruses, but it has limitations in not knowing complex facilities, cost, and transportation load for efficient elevator operation.

No. 5 of FIG. 6 uses a camera, and the camera, that is, a small lens, is installed in any part of the elevator call button of each floor hall or the button panel of each floor inside the car. The camera reads the number of floors and the number of people displayed on the screen of the smartphone and automatically enters the destination floor.

Accordingly, it is possible to clearly know how many people are going to which floor on each floor, and accordingly, the transport load is calculated in real time to enable efficient operation.

If you display a number on your smartphone and present it at a distance of 10~30cm from the camera, it is a medium-distance non-contact method that the camera reads, so it is prevented from viruses and bacteria. The number of floors and the number of people can be read, and it can be used if a camera is additionally installed in the existing elevator, and it can be easily installed in a new product. The installation cost is not high, maintenance is simple, the product size is not large, and the aesthetics is not bad.

The camera does not perform the complex process of entering the current location, the number of destination buttons, and the number of people to enter the destination floor, rather than the elevator call button on each floor or inside the car. way to be

Therefore, most of the input devices are on the passenger's smartphone, and the process is also performed on the smartphone in advance, and the call button in each hall leaves only a simple and quick process of reading the result, and the camera reads the result.

The smartphone performs the same function as a number input pad installed inside the hall or car on each floor, and each passenger carries a mobile number input pad and calls an elevator.

By additionally entering the number of people, the elevator control unit can know the passenger demand for each floor and can establish an efficient transportation plan.

Two passengers, mother and child, enter the lobby on the first floor from the entrance of the building to go to the eye hospital on the 13th floor of the 15th-floor commercial building and arrive at the elevator hall (ID 2).

Thereafter, the app displaying the number of elevator floors is executed on the own smart phone 10 (ID 3).

Enter “13”, which is the 13th floor where the destination floor 12 is located, and the number of 2 passengers on the smartphone, and display it on the screen 11 (ID 4).

Now, the passenger presents the number (destination floor, number of passengers) of the smartphone to the camera 21 of the car call panel 20 of the hall calling the elevator car 40 or a separately installed camera (ID 5).

Then, the camera 21 of the car call panel 20 determines whether the smart phone 10, the number 12 is presented, and operates (ID 9).

And the number of the smartphone ((target floor 12, number of passengers 13) is read (ID 10).

The target floor number determination unit 31 of the control device 30 according to the camera number reads the number 12 of the smartphone input from the camera 21 of the car call panel 20 and determines the floor number (ID) 13).

For example, if it is 13, it is determined that it is the 13th floor. If it is 130, it is determined that it is the 130th floor.

When the number 12 is determined, it is determined whether the number of floors in the operable range is (ID 14).

Currently, it is possible to go from the 1st floor to the 13th floor, so it is judged that the operation is possible. If it is 130, an error message is generated because the building is on the 15th floor and therefore cannot be operated.

Next, the number of passengers determination unit 32 determines how many passengers 13 (ID 15). For example, if 2 people are displayed in the number of passengers, it is determined that 2 people are on board.

In this way, when the boarding floor (the first floor lobby), the destination floor 12, and the number of passengers 13 are input, the transport load analysis unit 33 establishes the passenger transport load and the transport plan accordingly (ID 16) .

For example, if another passenger has already called the number of the 13th floor entered this time, an elevator car that has already been assigned is assigned. If No. 1 among many elevators has already been assigned to the 13th floor, these two passengers will also be assigned to No. 1.

Then, Unit 2 can pass through the 13th floor without stopping to shorten the time.

If the number of passengers is full due to the number of passengers entered this time, another car is assigned or the middle floor (second floor to 12th floor section) passes through partially ignoring the call, and assigns to the next car or assigns another car to the middle floor (Second floor to 12th floor section) can be assigned and operated by dividing the section.

Next, the destination floor registration unit 34 registers the determined destination floor (13th floor) in the operating floor (ID 17).

And the elevator car allocation unit 35 allocates a car (ID 18).

For example, if 2 elevators are in operation, Unit 1 is going up from the 10th floor, and Unit 2 is going up from the 2nd basement floor, Unit 2 is assigned according to the time and distance priority rule and stops at the lobby platform on the 1st floor and set up moving to the 13th floor.

Then, the operation guide message is sent by voice (“13th floor”) or text (13th floor) through the speaker or display device of the car panel 20 of the hall (ID 11).

Thereafter, the car control unit 36 moves the assigned car 40 to the first floor, which is the boarding floor (ID 19).

Then, the elevator car 40 moves to the boarding floor (first floor) (ID 24).

The car control unit 36 determines whether the car 40 has arrived at the boarding floor (first floor) (ID 20).

The elevator car opens the door of the car under the control of the car control unit 36 (ID 25).

Then two passengers board (ID 6).

In the elevator car, according to the control (ID 21) of the car control unit 36, the light on the 13th floor button, which is the target floor button of the car inner panel 20, is turned on (ID 27).

For example, since the passenger has already presented the 13th floor in ID 5, the 13th floor button is automatically turned on without having to press the 13th floor button after boarding the car (time saving, simplified operation, non-contact).

The elevator car displays the destination floor guide of the car in text on a speaker or a display device according to the control of the car control unit 36 (ID 26).

For example, from the speaker, “The 13th floor, go up. The message “The door is closed” appears after boarding. Alternatively, the 13th floor is displayed on the destination floor display device (LED panel).

When multiple passengers board on the 1st floor, an announcement is displayed saying “The 7th, 9th, 13th, 15th floors, the door is closed.”

After a certain period of time has elapsed, the elevator car closes the car door under the control (ID 22) of the car control unit 36 (ID 28).

The elevator car 40 moves to the 13th floor of the destination floor under the control of the car control unit 36 (ID 29), and two passengers get off the 13th floor (ID 7).

11 to 16 is a logic diagram showing the elevator calling method of FIGS. 9 to 10 according to the present invention.

11 shows the entire logic diagram.

12 to 16, the first row is the operation of the passenger and the smartphone, the second row is the operation of the car call panel of the platform, the third row is the operation of the control device, and the fourth row is the operation of the elevator car indicates operation. The upper number in the square box is the ID number, and the lower number is the job name.

In FIG. 12 , first, two passengers from ID 2 arrive at the lobby (hall, platform) on the first floor. Next, run the elevator floor display app on the smartphone in ID 3. The following description is the same as that of FIGS. 9 and 10 , and thus will be omitted.

17 to 18 are flowcharts of a method of inputting the destination floor of the elevator with the number of destination floors and the number of passengers displayed on the smartphone inside the elevator car and calculating the transport load, according to the present invention.

In FIG. 17, the subject of the operation is composed of a passenger and a smartphone (ID 101), an elevator control device (ID 108), an elevator car interior button panel (ID 119), and an elevator car (ID 123).

The sequence of operations (operations) will be described below.

Two passengers enter the lobby on the first floor from the entrance of the building to go to the eye hospital on the 13th floor of a 15-story commercial building and arrive at the elevator hall (ID 102).

At this time, the elevator car 40 arrives on the first floor and there is an ascending mark (ID 124).

The elevator car door opens (ID 125).

A passenger boards the elevator car (ID 103).

The passenger executes an app that displays the number of elevator floors 12 on their smart phone 10 (ID 104).

Enter “13”, which is the 13th floor of the ophthalmic hospital you want to go to, and “2 passengers” on the smartphone, and display it on the screen (ID 105).

Now, the passenger presents the number (13, 2) of the smartphone to the camera 51 of the button panel 50 inside the elevator car 40 or a camera installed separately (ID 106).

Then, the camera 51 of the car inner panel 50 determines whether the smart phone 10 and the target floor number 12 are presented, and operates (ID 120).

And read the numbers (12, 13) of the smartphone (ID 121).

The target floor number determination unit 31 of the control device 30 reads the number 12 of the smart phone input from the camera 51 of the car inner panel 50 and determines the floor number (ID 109).

For example, if it is 13, it is determined that it is the 13th floor. If it is 130, it is determined that it is the 130th floor.

If the number is determined, it is determined whether the number of floors in the operable range is (ID 110).

Currently, it is possible to go from the 1st floor to the 13th floor, so it is judged that the operation is possible. If it is 130, an error message is generated because the building is on the 15th floor and therefore cannot be operated.

Next, the number of passengers determination unit 32 determines how many passengers 13 (ID 111). For example, if 2 people are displayed in the number of passengers, it is determined that 2 people are on board.

In this way, when the boarding floor (the first floor lobby), the destination floor 12, and the number of passengers 13 are input, the transport load analysis unit 33 establishes the passenger transport load and the transport plan accordingly (ID 112) .

Next, the destination floor registration unit 34 registers the determined destination floor (13th floor) in the operating floor (ID 113).

And the elevator car allocation unit 35 allocates a car (ID 114).

For example, a transport load is calculated by assigning two passengers to the currently boarded car.

In the elevator car, according to the lighting control (ID 115) of the destination floor button 52 of the car control unit 36, the 13th floor button 52, which is the destination floor button of the car inner panel 50, is lit (ID 122). ).

For example, since the passenger has already presented the 13th floor in ID 6, the 13th floor button is automatically turned on without having to press the 13th floor button (time saving, operation simplification, non-contact).

Through the speaker or the display device of the inner panel 50 of the car, a voice (“13th floor”) or text message (13th floor) sends out a guide message related to the operation of the destination floor (ID 126).

For example, the message “We will go up to the 13th floor, the door is closed” is displayed after boarding from the speaker. Alternatively, the 13th floor is displayed on the destination floor display device (LED panel).

The elevator car closes the car door according to the door closing control (ID 116) of the control unit 34 (ID 127).

Thereafter, the car control unit 36 moves the car to the 13th floor to the destination floor (ID 117), and the elevator car moves to the destination floor (13th floor) (ID 128).

The car control unit 36 determines whether the car 40 has arrived at the destination floor (13th floor) (ID 118).

The elevator car opens the door of the car under the control of the car control unit 36 (ID 129).

Then, two passengers get off on the 13th floor (ID 107).

19 to 24 are logic diagrams showing the elevator destination floor input method in the car of FIGS. 17 to 18 according to the present invention.

19 shows the entire logic diagram.

20 to 24, the first row is the operation of passengers and smartphones, the second row is the operation of the control device, the third row is the operation of the button/camera panel inside the car, and the fourth row is the elevator Indicates the operation of the car. The upper number in the square box is the ID number, and the lower number is the job name.

The following is an embodiment of the camera of the elevator button panel and the number of the target floor displayed on the smartphone, according to the present invention.

25 shows that the elevator destination floor setting app is installed on the desktop screen in the smartphone according to the present invention. Download the elevator destination floor number app from Google Play for the passenger's app.

For example, if you install the “elevator button app”, the destination floor number app is installed on the smartphone desktop.

In addition to the app, you can use the number display using the numeric keyboard to make a call, the number in KakaoTalk message sending, the number of the elevator destination floor of KakaoTalk (new), and the number in sending text messages.

Also, you can write numbers on paper, put a card with numbers printed on the back of the phone between the transparent phone wallets, and you can display numbers on the back of the employee ID. It is valid as long as the camera can read the numbers.

26 is an example in which the user inputs the target floor number 13 and the number of passengers to the smartphone. It is also possible to create barcodes with numbers, in which case the barcodes can be used further by measuring which of the numbers or barcodes is more advantageous and faster to read.

27 is an example of inputting another destination number. 17th floor was entered on the dial of dialer, and the number of passengers is represented by 4 human icons. Present it to the camera.

The user enters a number in the destination floor, selects the number of passengers below, and then enters the number of passengers. Alternatively, after a few seconds have elapsed after entering the destination, if the cursor moves down, the number of people can be entered.

Alternatively, since the normal number of people is within 2 to 5 people, the number of people can be designated by selecting the number of people icon after inputting the target floor. If the number of people is not specified, one person can be counted.

If the number of passengers is designated, it is advantageous for the control device to determine the lifting load of the entire building. It is possible to establish an efficient operation plan because it is possible to grasp in real time how many people are going on which floor and where they are going.

For example, in a high-rise office building, thousands of people work, and if a large number of employees go to a meal, meeting, or event together during lunchtime, input the number of people and the control device can efficiently allocate the number of employees. can also move quickly.

For example, if it is input that 6 people on the 23rd floor are moving to the 18th floor, the number of people who can board can be calculated from the passenger load in elevator No. You can't go through the 23rd floor and assign another elevator.

In general, when the elevator door is opened and there are only two people who can ride, the elevator closes after a few seconds and goes down because it does not get on. In this case, tens of seconds are lost.

28 is an example in which a camera is attached to a call panel installed in front of an elevator door (hall, platform) on the first floor or each floor according to the present invention. At the top, there is a notice saying “Put the target floor number to the camera”.

29 is a view showing that the passenger touches the target floor number and the number of passengers of the smartphone to the camera of the hall button panel of FIG. The number displayed on the smartphone indicates that the current passenger wants to go to the 13th floor and there are two passengers.

For example, if the floor where the current passenger is located is the 15th floor and the 8th floor (3 people) is presented, the controller determines that there are 3 possible passengers from the 15th floor to the 8th floor.

30 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the process of FIG. 29 . The smartphone is at a distance of about 10 to 30 cm from the camera, and the camera reads the destination floor and number of passengers displayed on the smartphone screen.

Just by presenting the number in a non-contact manner, the control device can identify the passenger going from the current floor to the destination floor.

31 is an example in which, according to the present invention, there is a button panel installed inside an elevator car and a camera is installed at the top.

32 is a cross-sectional view illustrating the example of FIG. 31 . A camera is installed on the top of the button panel inside the elevator car, and the passenger presents the number of their smartphone to the camera.

In the case of a building with one elevator in operation, if the number has already been presented to the camera on the first floor or in the elevator hall on each floor, there is no need to present the number again inside the elevator car. This is because, when the control device arrives at the waiting floor, it knows the number of the destination floor and controls so that the button on the inside panel of the car lights up (lights on).

Cancellation of the destination floor can be canceled by pressing a button in a conventional manner. To change the target layer, you just need to present a different number.

According to the present invention, a number can be input using a printed number. In the case of offices, the floor to which office workers go is almost fixed. Even in the case of a commercial building, the floor that the employees working in the mall go to is fixed. In the case of an apartment, the number of floors in the house is the same.

In other words, there is a characteristic that the number of floors is fixed in the case of a workplace or a house.

At this time, the same number previously entered in the smartphone can be used. A method to further simplify this process is to print the number of floors frequently used in the size of a business card and insert or paste it on the back (transparent cover) of the smartphone.

The number 9 is printed and inserted between the transparent covers on the back of the smartphone and presented to the camera on the car call panel in the lobby.

In addition, you can print the 13th floor on the back of your employee ID and present it to the camera while carrying it. In hotels or condos that are accommodation facilities, you can use a room key (key) with the room number of the hotel on it or a card with the room number on it.

The smartphone can be presented horizontally or squarely to the camera of the button panel of the elevator hall of each floor or the camera inside the car according to the present invention. When the camera is vertical, it is an example of enabling the scan from below or from a rectangular angle such as 45 degrees so that the privacy problem of passengers does not occur. Even when the camera is installed vertically, it is desirable that the position of the camera is about the waist or navel, the movement of raising the arm is convenient, and there is no privacy problem because the camera is at a height at which the face is not scanned.

If the camera is positioned on the side of the car (on the left or right wall when looking at the door from inside the car), the faces of the passengers are not visible, so privacy issues do not arise.

In the present invention, the target layer is designated by a number. In addition, the number of floors can be designated with text or figures (patterns, animals, plants). In the case of the 7th floor, “chill” is indicated, 7 stars are indicated, and 7 apples are indicated. Plants and animals can be useful to adolescents and children.

In addition, it can be used with a finger, and in the case of the 3rd floor, 3 fingers are displayed, and in the case of the 1st floor lobby, 1 finger is displayed.

In order to use the frequently used close button non-contact after boarding, display “closed” on the smartphone and present it to the camera, then the closing is input and the car door is closed.

In the case of the basement, it can be indicated by using the minus and underground tabs. In the case of “-3”, if 3 is entered in the “underground” input box, it is recognized as the 3rd basement floor.

Instead of using a numeric keypad, you can specify using a numeric keypad that rotates up and down, such as in a casino.

The control unit can display the current elevator floor, the floor to be stopped in the future, and the number of people in real time through the display unit (liquid crystal display device) in the elevator waiting hall on each floor. be able to make rational decisions.

Most passengers want to move to the destination floor more quickly. In the case of a large number of people, it is recognized that the control unit will calculate the fastest operation by simply touching the smartphone, and it will be transported quickly by itself, and the desire for non-contact will be high, so the usability of the present invention will increase.

A contactless button is useful to prevent sanitation, health, and health problems caused by viruses in commercial facilities, hospitals, offices, and apartments used by the public.

33 is a first embodiment of calculating a transport load from the number of destination floors and the number of passengers and establishing a transport plan according to the present invention. 34 to 35 are enlarged views of FIG. 33 .

The building of the embodiment is 4 stories below the ground and 49 above the ground, and there are two or more elevators, and the capacity is 12 people.

This is a case where the elevator car calculates the transport load from the 6th basement floor to the 49th floor, which is the top floor. At a specific time, according to the present invention, the target floor and the number of passengers of the smartphone are inputted with the camera, and the transport load is shown.

The first column shows the passenger's boarding floor, and the number of floors waiting in the platform, such as the 47th and 45th floors. The second column shows the number of passengers. The third column represents the lower layer (target layer). The number of people getting on and off is the difference between the number of people getting off the floor and the number of people getting on. If the value is +, passengers are added to the car, and if it is -, the number of passengers in the car is reduced.

The number of passengers remaining in the car is the number of passengers in the car.

The garden represents the number of 12 members of the ka.

The excess is the difference between the car's capacity (12 people) and the car's remaining capacity.

Therefore, excess allowance = Ka capacity - Ka remaining capacity.

Exceeding capacity refers to the number of people exceeding the capacity (12 people) when passing a stop on each floor.

The following describes the calculation of the transport load according to the embodiment of boarding and alighting at each floor. Until now, it was not possible to calculate the transportation load because general buildings (hospitals, shopping malls, hotels, etc.) . However, according to the present invention, the departure floor (location of the camera), the destination floor, and the number of passengers can be input from the number on the smartphone through the camera, and thus the transport load can be calculated.

In the parking lot on the 6th basement level (B6F) of the lower boarding floor of the first column, one person calls to move to the first floor. As the car starts from the 4th basement floor and picks up one person, the remaining number of people in the car is 1, and the capacity is 12, so there are 11 people in the car.

Next, one person from the first basement floor (B1F) called to move to the 19th floor, and when they reached the second basement floor, two people boarded, and a total of three people remained, with nine people remaining.

Several people called on the 1st floor entrance floor, from the 1st floor to the 15th floor (2 people), the 17th floor (1 person), the 19th floor (2 people), the 21st floor (1 person), the 25th floor (3 people), 30 As a floor (1 person), a total of 10 people can board at the same time. At this time, as one passenger alights on the 4th basement floor, the net number of passengers is 9.

Therefore, on the 1st floor, 1 person boarded from the 4th basement level got off, and there are 2 people who got on the 1st basement floor inside the car, so 10 new people get on the car, making a total of 12 people inside the car. As a result, the garden from the first floor is full and you can no longer ride.

By the way, one additional person on the 5th floor is calling for boarding (getting off on the 33rd floor), and 2 people on the 10th floor (getting off on the 37th floor) and one person on the 13th floor (getting off on the 25th floor) are calling. Therefore, it is calculated that additional passengers cannot be picked up until the passengers inside the car get off.

Through the number of overcapacity at the bottom, you can analyze the current overcapacity (1 person, 3 people, 4 people).

When reaching the 15th floor, 2 people get off on the 1st floor, so 2 people get off, 1 person gets off on the 17th floor, so 1 person is exceeded, 1 person on the 20th floor (gets off on the 40th floor), so 1 person is exceeded, and on the 25th floor, 1 person gets off Since 4 people get off, there is room for 2 people, 2 people boarding on the 24th floor, 1 getting off on the 30th floor (9 people remaining), 2 people getting off on the 31st floor, 1 person getting off on the 33rd floor, 1 person getting on the 34th floor , 2 people get off on the 35th floor, 2 people get off on the 37th floor, 1 ride on the 40th floor 4 people get off (10 people remaining), 1 person on the 41st floor, 1 person on the 45th floor, 2 people get off, 47 Two people get on on the floor, one gets off on the 48th floor, and finally all three get off on the 49th floor.

36 is a view showing the estimated transportation demand of the car remaining number (the number of passengers inside the car) according to the first embodiment according to the present invention by floor. This is about how the controller calculates the transport load as the passenger makes a call (destination floor, number of passengers) on each floor with a smartphone.

One person rides on the 6th basement floor, 2 people ride on the 1st basement floor, and several people get on the first floor, making it 12 people. Since the capacity is 12 people, it is not possible to board any more.

However, on the 5th, 10th, and 13th floors, passengers only get on and do not get off, so it is necessary to decide whether to accept or reject the calls on the 5th, 10th, and 13th floors.

As 4 people get off on the 25th floor, it can be seen that the remaining number of people in the car goes down below the capacity (12 people). Therefore, it indicates that the basic data that can establish the transportation load and the transportation plan accordingly in the section exceeding the capacity (5th to 25th floors) is secured.

According to the feature of the present invention, it is possible to grasp the transport load trend through three input variables of the destination floor, number of passengers, and departure floor where the camera is located in a building for general public use without using an app. found out that

37 is a diagram showing the number of people exceeding the capacity (12 people) by floor in the estimated transport demand for the remaining number of people in the car (the number of passengers inside the car) according to the first embodiment according to the present invention. It appears as 1 person on the 5th floor, 3 people on the 10th floor, 4 people on the 13th floor, 2 people on the 15th floor, etc.

There was a task that had to solve this excess number of people.

38 shows the cumulative value of the number of passengers in the first embodiment according to the present invention. It appears that a total of 27 people ride from the 6th basement floor to the 49th floor of the top floor.

In particular, it can be seen that the number of passengers on the first floor (lobby, entrance floor) increases rapidly.

39 shows the accumulated value of the number of people getting off the train according to the first embodiment according to the present invention. It appears that a total of 27 people get off from the first floor to the top 49th floor.

It can be seen that a lot of passengers get off from the 25th floor and above.

40 is a view showing the cumulative value of the number of passengers on board and the number of people getting off at the same time in the first embodiment according to the present invention. The red line at the top is for boarding, and the blue line at the bottom is for getting off, and the difference is the number of people remaining in the car.

41 is another graph showing the accumulated values of the number of passengers on board and the number of people getting off at the same time in the first embodiment according to the present invention. The dark red color in the center indicates the number of car remaining.

42 is an illustration of alternative 1 of the transport plan according to the transport overload of the first embodiment according to the present invention;

According to the transport load and car remaining number graph, the first floor is already full (12 people), so it is no longer possible to board.

However, since a call has been received to move one person from the 5th floor to the 33rd floor, even if the vehicle is stopped on the 5th floor, passengers on the 5th floor cannot board. Therefore, the control device must decide whether to stop or pass through the fifth floor. If it passes through the 5th floor, the transportation load on the 5th floor (1 person, moving from the 5th floor to the 33rd floor) is withheld (postponed to the next order, passed over) and is omitted from this calculation. will be.

43 is a result of calculating the transport load when passing through the 10th floor. In other words, even if the first pass passes through the 5th floor and the second passes through the 10th floor, the capacity is 12, indicating that there is no room for additional passengers.

44 is a calculation result of transport load when passing through the 13th floor. In other words, even if the first pass passes through the 5th floor and the second pass passes through the 10th floor, there is no room for additional passengers due to the capacity of 12 passengers. indicates.

Therefore, it is possible to ignore calls from the 5th, 10th, and 13th floors and pass through them and assign them to the next elevator, or to assign boarding when going back to the 49th floor and ascending again.

When a transportation plan is established in this way, calls from the 5th, 10th, and 13th floors are ignored, but if the vehicle stops on the 5th, 10th, or 13th floors, additional boarding is not possible and only time is wasted. Therefore, for calls on the 5th, 10th, and 13th floors, it can be assigned to the fastest elevator going up next, and this fact can be notified to the waiting passengers at the 5th, 10th, and 13th floors.

As described above, through the first embodiment, conventionally, it was not possible to know how many people were going to the floor on each platform, but now all information can be grasped. transportation efficiency can be improved.

45 is a second embodiment of calculating the transport load at the time of descent from the number of destination floors and the number of passengers and establishing a transport plan according to the present invention. 46 to 47 are enlarged views of FIG. 45 .

The building of the embodiment is 4 stories below the ground and 49 above the ground, and there are two or more elevators, and the capacity is 12 people.

This is a case where the descending transport load is calculated when the elevator car descends from the 49th floor, the top floor, to the 6th floor. At a specific time, according to the present invention, it shows the descending call data and the descending transport load in which the destination floor and the number of passengers of the smartphone are input by the camera.

The first column shows the passenger's boarding floor, and the number of floors waiting in the platform, such as the 49th and 45th floors. The second column shows the number of descending passengers. The third column represents the lower layer (target layer).

The number of people getting on and off is the difference between the number of people getting off the floor and the number of people getting on. If the value is +, passengers are added to the car, and if it is -, the number of passengers in the car is reduced.

The number of passengers remaining in the car is the number of passengers in the car.

The garden represents the number of 12 members of the ka.

The excess is the difference between the car's capacity (12 people) and the car's remaining capacity.

Therefore, excess allowance = Ka capacity - Ka remaining capacity.

Exceeding capacity refers to the number of people exceeding the capacity (12 people) when passing a stop on each floor.

The following describes the calculation of the transport load according to the embodiment of boarding and alighting at each floor. Until now, it was not possible to calculate the transportation load because general buildings (hospitals, shopping malls, hotels, etc.) . However, according to the present invention, the departure floor (location of the camera), the destination floor, and the number of passengers can be input from the number on the smartphone through the camera, and thus the transport load can be calculated.

If you look at the top of the first column, two people from the 49th floor of the top floor boarding floor are called to move to the first floor. Currently, the car has reached the 49th floor and is in a state to descend. As the car departs from the 49th floor and descends, it continues to pick up passengers, and most get off at the entrance floor on the first floor as a group, so the number of passengers continues to increase while descending.

However, until reaching the first floor, the capacity does not exceed 12, but increases to 11, and most of them get off on the first floor. Therefore, there is no overcapacity, so the passing layer does not occur.

48 is a case in which 5 people descend from the 35th floor to the 11th floor when the car descends from the 49th floor in the descending mode of the second embodiment according to the present invention.

When an order for moving 5 people from the 35th floor to the 11th floor is input through the camera 21 and the control device 30 of the 35th floor platform number determination unit 31 and the number of passengers determination unit 32, the transport load The analysis unit 33 recalculates the transport load by adding the input transport load.

If the car is stopped on the 35th floor, the remaining number of people will be 11, and if 2 additional people board the car on the 33rd floor, it will become 13 people, exceeding the capacity of 12, and even if the car is stopped on the 33rd floor, it will be in a state where it cannot be carried any more.

After that, one person on the 29th floor, one person on the 25th floor, and one person on the 21st floor are continuously waiting for boarding, and they will not be able to board.

Therefore, due to the stop on the 35th floor, 5 people from the 33rd, 29th, 25th, 21st, and 4th floors will be affected.

On the other hand, passengers who called from the 33rd, 29th, 25th and 21st floors called earlier than those on the 35th floor in time.

Therefore, instead of boarding the passengers on the 35th floor, the control device ignores the passengers on the 4 floors below and passes them through the first method and the 35th floor, and the passengers on the 33rd, 29th, 25th and 21st floors in the order of the time they were originally received. A second method of riding can be considered.

In this situation, it is possible to establish an algorithm for selecting the first method (five passengers on the 35th floor) and the second method (passing through the 35th floor). This can be based on call reception time or distance priority (arrival time) during descent.

Prediction of such a case is possible because, according to the characteristics of the present invention, the number of passengers on each floor and the level of getting off can be known through the number of smartphones.

49 shows that when a new order on the 35th floor is accepted in the descent mode of the second embodiment according to the present invention, when two people on the 33rd floor are boarded, the capacity is exceeded, and therefore, when riding the 35th floor, the 33rd floor It refers to pre-analyzing a situation that must be passed.

50 to 52 show that in the second embodiment according to the present invention, following the passage of the 33rd floor, there is one free seat on the 29th floor, so one person is boarded, and now the capacity is 12 and the state is full, the 25th floor, 22 This is a preliminary analysis of the situation and results in the case of passing the 17th and 17th floors without being able to ride in succession.

The reason that one person can ride on the 29th floor is because there is a free space inside the car that can accommodate one person at the time of arrival on the 29th floor.

Then, in the above situation, if 5 people boarded on the 35th floor, where a new call was made, it would have to pass through 4 floors: the 33rd, 25th, 22nd, and 17th floors. If it passes, passengers on the 33rd, 25th, 22nd, and 17th floors who called first will suffer damage.

It is a policy of distance priority to get 5 people on the 35th floor with priority from the car regardless of the order of reception, and to pass the 35th floor is a transportation policy based on the order of reception time.

However, since the number of stops and the number of passengers can be known according to the characteristics of the present invention rather than the distance or time priority, the operating time in each case, the number of passengers, the time to reach the first floor, which is the main destination, other following cars (such as unit 2), etc. Operation plan can be established by considering comprehensively.

Since the present invention has the feature of ensuring accurate departure floor, destination floor, and number of passengers input variables in real time, it is possible to establish the most efficient operation plan.

53 is a graph of the number of people remaining in the car, and is data of the call received initially. It shows that the starting point is descending from the 49th floor to the basement.

54 is an analysis of the number of cars remaining in a state in which a call (order) for 5 additional passengers is received on the 35th floor. As 5 people board the 35th floor, it goes up to 11, and it can be seen that the lower floor increases to 16 as it goes down.

55 shows the number of people exceeding the quota. From the 33rd floor onwards, the number of passengers will exceed 12, so from the 33rd floor onwards, passengers will no longer be able to carry passengers. indicates

56 is a cumulative graph of the number of passengers on board, FIG. 57 is a graph of the cumulative number of passengers getting off, and FIGS. 58 and 59 are simultaneous expressions of the cumulative number of boarding and disembarking persons, and the difference between the number of boarding and disembarking persons represents the number of remaining passengers in the car.

As described above, according to the present invention, the destination floor and the number of passengers are read from the camera position, the destination floor, and the number of passengers are read from the camera position, and the transport load for each floor is calculated when ascending and descending based on this. It was confirmed through the examples that it is possible to analyze and calculate the changing transport load in real time.

Therefore, according to the present invention, it is possible to establish a precise transport load and transport plan in real time in a non-contact (untact) manner, and accordingly, a passenger can quickly move to a desired floor in a non-contact manner.

The embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the drawings should not be construed as limiting the technical spirit of the present invention. The protection scope of the present invention is limited only by the matters described in the claims, and those skilled in the art can improve and change the technical idea of the present invention in various forms. Accordingly, such improvements and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention as long as they are apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art.

The method and apparatus for calling an elevator by the number of the target floor displayed on a smartphone according to the present invention can be used by additionally installing a camera and developing a control program in the case of an elevator currently in operation.

When manufacturing a new elevator, a camera according to the present invention can be additionally installed on a conventional button panel, and a program can be developed and used.

In addition to replacing the number entered by the camera with the effect of pressing a button, it is possible to identify most of the number of people waiting on each floor and the destination floor, so an efficient passenger transport method is proposed.

Therefore, the contents of the present invention can be directly applied to currently operating elevators and newly manufactured elevators and buildings.
