BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0008] Embodiment 1.

First, the configuration of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an elevator remote control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

In FIG. 1, the input device 1 inputs personal identification data for personal authentication by the user. The personal authentication device 2 receives the personal identification data transmitted from the input device 1, authenticates whether or not the person should be allowed to use the elevator, transmits the authentication result as an identification code, and performs auto-lock. Unlock the ceremony entrance door 5.

The elevator remote control device 4 receives the identification code transmitted from the personal authentication device 2 and sends a control signal to the elevator control panel 3 of the group to be used by the user. The boarding detection device 6 detects that the user has entered the elevator, and outputs a signal to the elevator control panel 3 to determine whether or not the user has got on the elevator. The unlocking permission device 7 is installed in each dwelling unit, and gives an instruction to unlock the automatic entrance type door to the visitor.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the elevator remote control device of the elevator remote control system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 2, 2-4 are the same as those in FIG. The elevator remote control device 4 has an identification code decoding means 10, decodes the identification code sent from the personal authentication device 2, and transmits the decoded result to the control content determination means 11.

Based on the identification code received from the identification code decoding means 10, the control content determination means 11 can automatically register a hall call and a car call if the user is a resident of a healthy person, for example. If the resident is a wheelchair resident, the automatic registration of the hall call and the wheelchair driving call for the car call is called, and if the user is a resident such as a manager, the automatic registration only for the hall call is called. Thus, the control content for the elevator is determined and a control signal of the determined control content is transmitted to the transmission means 12.

FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing a configuration of the elevator control panel of the elevator remote control system according to the first embodiment of the present invention.

In FIG. 3, 3, 4, and 6 are the same as those in FIG. The control signal receiving means 20 receives a control signal from the elevator remote control device 4. The call registration determination means 21 transmits the control signal sent from the control signal reception means 20 to the hall call control means 22 and the car call control means 23 according to a certain determination condition. The car call control means 23 receives a signal from the boarding detection device 6 for determining whether or not the user has boarded. The travel time storage device 24 stores the minimum travel time necessary for the user to travel to the place of authentication (in the present invention, the entrance of the building) force elevator.

FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing the operation of the call registration determination means of the elevator remote control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.

Next, the operation of the call registration determination means 21 will be described using the flowchart of FIG.

First, in step S1, a control signal is received from the control signal receiving means 20. Next, at step S2, a hall call control signal is transmitted to the hall call control means 22. Next, in step S3, it is determined whether or not there is a car call control signal among the control signals sent from the control signal receiving means 20. If there is a force call control signal, in step S4, the timer is reset (timer variable TM is set to zero) and the timer is started. The timer variable TM here is a value that automatically increases by 1 every 1 second. Next, in step S5, the value of the timer variable TM and the user's authentication location force stored in the travel time storage device 24 are compared with the travel time TO to the elevator. If the timer variable TM becomes larger than TO, a car call control signal is transmitted to the force call control means 23 in step S6.

[0012] In this flowchart, the timer variable TM is from the control signal receiving means 20. Each time a force call control signal is received, a new variable value is assumed. That is, when a plurality of car call control signals are continuously received, the timer variable TM is sequentially reset, and the timer variable TM of the most recently received car call control signal is used. Also, the hall call control means 22 performs a process of registering the hall call as soon as the hall call control signal is received from the call registration determination means 21. The force call control means 23 temporarily stores the car call control signal received from the call registration determination means 21, and uses the signal of 6 boarding detection devices to determine that the user has boarded. In addition, the car call control signal temporarily stored until then is registered.

Further, the car call control means 23 transmits a departure signal notifying that the elevator has departed to the call registration determination means 21 when the elevator in which the user enters has departed. If the call registration determination means 21 has stored a force call control signal to be sent to the car call control means 23 at the time of receiving this departure signal, the call call control means 22 will call the hall call control means 22. Send the signal again.

[0013] According to this, when the user uses the elevator continuously, the first registered user gets on the elevator before the second authenticated user arrives at the elevator landing. However, the car call to the destination floor of the second authenticated user is not automatically registered.

In addition, when the second user arrives at the landing after the elevator departs, the landing call is re-registered. It becomes possible to move.

In addition, when a visitor arrives, personal identification data is sent from the unlocking permission device 7 instead of being input from the input device 1 to the personal authentication device 2, and the entire system thereafter The movement is the same as when the resident came home.

[0014] According to the first embodiment, when a plurality of users are continuously authenticated, it is possible to prevent a user who has been authenticated later from getting behind the elevator, and a user who has been authenticated after the departure of the elevator is You can use the elevator without having to re-authenticate.
