본 발명은 엘리베이터 탑승 정보를 안내하는 시스템으로서, 엘리베이터를 이용하기 위하여 엘리베이터가 설치된 각 층의 엘리베이터 입구에서 대기하는 사용자에 대해 엘리베이터 탑승 정보를 표시하기 위한 시스템을 말한다.The present invention is a system for guiding elevator boarding information, and refers to a system for displaying elevator boarding information for a user waiting at an elevator entrance on each floor where an elevator is installed to use an elevator.
본 발명은 다른 측면에서 엘리베이터 탑승 정보를 이용하여, 엘리베이터가 이동경로 상에서 에너지 및 시간의 낭비 없이 최적의 경로로 이동하도록 하는 엘리베이터 시스템을 포함한다.The present invention includes an elevator system that, in another aspect, uses elevator boarding information to allow the elevator to travel in an optimal path without wasting energy and time on the travel path.
본 발명은 가장 작은 범위에서는 엘리베이터 탑승 정보를 표시하는 디스플레이 패널에 관한 것이다. 이하 각각에 대해 설명하고자 한다.The present invention relates to a display panel that displays elevator boarding information in the smallest range. Each will be described below.
본 명세서에서 사용되는 용어에서 단수의 표현은 문맥상 명백하게 다르게 해석되지 않는 한 복수의 표현을 포함하는 것으로 이해되어야 하고, "포함한다" 등의 용어는 설시된 특징, 개수, 단계, 동작, 구성요소, 부분품 또는 이들을 조합한 것이 존재함을 의미하는 것이지, 하나 또는 그 이상의 다른 특징들이나 개수, 단계 동작 구성요소, 부분품 또는 이들을 조합한 것들의 존재 또는 부가 가능성을 배제하지 않는 것으로 이해되어야 한다.As used herein, the singular forms "a," "an," and "the" are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It is to be understood that the present invention means that there is a part or a combination thereof, and does not exclude the presence or addition possibility of one or more other features or numbers, step operation components, parts or combinations thereof.
도 1은 본 발명에 따른 엘리베이터 탑승 정보를 안내하는 시스템의 구성에 대한 개략적인 블록도이고, 도 2는 엘리베이터 내부 탑승공간을 판단하는데 사용되는 탑승가부판단부(100)의 각 구성이 도시된 투영 사시도이다.Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of the configuration of the system for guiding the elevator boarding information according to the present invention, Figure 2 is a projection showing each configuration of the boarding judgment portion 100 used to determine the boarding space inside the elevator Perspective view.
본 발명에 따른 엘리베이터 탑승 정보를 안내하는 시스템은 엘리베이터 내부에 탑승가능공간을 판단하는 탑승가부판단부(100), 엘리베이터 이동 경로에서 멈춤경로를 판단하는 멈춤경로판단부(200) 및 탑승가부판단부(100)가 판단한 탑승가능공간 및 멈춤경로판단부(200)가 판단하는 멈춤경로를 엘리베이터 외부 대기자가 확인 가능하도록 표시하는 디스플레이부(300)를 포함한다. The system for guiding the elevator boarding information according to the present invention includes a boarding judgment part 100 determining a boarding space inside an elevator, a stop path decision part 200 determining a stop path in an elevator moving path, and a boarding decision part The display unit 300 may display the boarding space determined by the 100 and the stop path determined by the stop path determining unit 200 so that a waiter outside the elevator may check.
엘리베이터 내부 탑승자가 하차하고자 엘리베이터 내부의 인터페이스를 조작하여 설정되는 엘리베이터 멈춤 위치를 하차멈춤경로라고 정의하고, 엘리베이터 외부 대기자가 탑승하고자 엘리베이터 외부 인터페이스를 조작하여 설정되는 엘리베이터 멈춤 위치를 탑승멈춤경로라고 정의한다. 멈춤경로는 엘리베이터 내부 탑승자가 하차하고자 하는 하차멈춤경로 및 외부 대기자가 탑승하고자 하는 탑승멈춤경로를 포함한다.An elevator stop position defined by the passenger inside the elevator to operate the interface inside the elevator is defined as an unloading stop route, and an elevator stop position set by manipulating the outside interface of the elevator to allow passengers outside the elevator to be defined as a boarding stop route. . The stop route includes a stop route for the passenger inside the elevator to get off and a stop route for the outside waiter to board.
엘리베이터 탑승 정보를 사용자에게 안내하기 위한 본 발명의 가장 기본적인 구성은 엘리베이터 내부의 탑승가능공간을 판단하기 위한 탑승가부판단부(100), 엘리베이터가 이동하는 경로 중에서 멈추게 되는 위치(경로)를 판단하는 멈춤경로판단부(200) 및 엘리베이터 탑승 관련 정보를 표시하는 디스플레이부(300)를 포함한다.The most basic configuration of the present invention for guiding the elevator boarding information to the user is the boarding decision unit 100 for determining the boarding space available inside the elevator, the stop to determine the position (path) to stop in the path that the elevator moves The route determining unit 200 and the display unit 300 for displaying the elevator boarding-related information.
탑승가부판단부(100)는 엘리베이터 내부에 탑승자가 인원수를 파악하기 위한 것이다. 이를 통해 외부 대기자가 현재 이동하는 엘리베이터에 몇 명이나 더 탑승할 수 있는지 판단할 수 있다.The boarding judgment unit 100 is to determine the number of people occupants inside the elevator. Through this, it is possible to determine how many more outside waiters can board the currently moving elevator.
탑승가부판단부(100)는 탑승 인원수가 아닌 다른 측면으로 탑승가부를 판단할 수도 있다. 엘리베이터 탑승에 대한 제한은 정확하게 말하면 탑승 인원수가 아니고, 엘리베이터가 한 번에 이동시킬 수 있는 중량이라고 하겠다. 즉 중량을 기준으로 탑승 가부를 결정하고, 탑승 가능하다고 판단되는 경우, 엘리베이터 내부에 탑승가능한 공간이 있는지 파악하는 방법으로 탑승 가부를 결정할 수도 있다.The boarding determination unit 100 may determine whether the boarding is possible in terms of other aspects than the number of passengers. The limit for boarding an elevator is not exactly the number of passengers but the weight that the elevator can move at once. That is, whether or not the boarding can be determined based on the weight, and if it is determined that the boarding is possible, the boarding or not can be determined by checking whether there is a space available inside the elevator.
구체적으로 탑승가부판단부(100)는 엘리베이터 내부에 설치된 하나 이상의 카메라(110), 하나 이상의 거리측정센서(120) 또는 하나 이상의 하중센서(130) 중 어느 하나 또는 둘 이상의 조합을 포함한다. 즉 카메라, 거리측정센서(120) 또는 하중센서(130) 중 하나만이 사용될 수도 있고, 이중 둘 이상이 조합된 형태로 사용될 수도 있다.In detail, the boarding determination unit 100 includes one or more camera 110, one or more distance measuring sensor 120, or one or more load sensors 130 installed in the elevator. That is, only one of the camera, the distance sensor 120 or the load sensor 130 may be used, or two or more of them may be used in combination.
카메라(110)는 엘리베이터 내부 전경을 촬영하는 것으로, 입력되는 영상 데이터를 영상 처리분야에서 널리 알려진 방식을 이용하여 탑승인원수를 결정하거나, 탑승자가 없는 내부공간을 측정하기 위해 사용된다.The camera 110 photographs the inside view of the elevator. The camera 110 is used to determine the number of occupants or to measure an interior space without occupants by using input image data in a manner well known in the image processing field.
일반적으로 디지털 영상 처리를 이용하므로, 카메라(110)는 CCD 카메라인 것이 바람직하다. 또는 인체의 열정보를 촬영하는 적외선 카메라를 이용해도 탑승 인원을 파악하거나, 엘리베이터 내부 가용공간을 파악할 수 있다.In general, since the digital image processing is used, the camera 110 is preferably a CCD camera. Alternatively, an infrared camera that captures thermal information of the human body can be used to determine the occupants or the available space inside the elevator.
카메라(110)가 설치된 각도에 따라 카메라가 촬영할 수 없는 사각이 생길 수 있으므로, 사각이 생기지 않도록 복수 개의 카메라(110)를 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 도 2에서는 사각이 전혀 생기지 않도록 사각형 엘리베이터의 각 구석에 4개의 카메라(110)를 설치한 예를 도시한다.Since a blind spot cannot be taken by the camera depending on an angle at which the camera 110 is installed, it is preferable to use a plurality of cameras 110 so that blind spots do not occur. 2 shows an example in which four cameras 110 are installed in each corner of a rectangular elevator so that blind spots do not occur at all.
일반적으로 엘리베이터 탑승자는 움직임이 거의 없기 때문에 카메라(110)의 촬영 각도를 변경하면서 전체를 촬영하는 방법도 가능하다.In general, since the elevator occupants have little movement, it is also possible to shoot the whole while changing the photographing angle of the camera (110).
거리측정센서(120)는 엘리베이터 내부 벽면 중 일 측면에 설치될 수 있다. 다만 카메라와 조합되어 탑승자 인원을 파악하기 위해서는 엘리베이터 벽면 중 상측 즉 천장에 설치되는 것이 바람직하다. 도 2에서도 거리측정센서(120)는 엘리베이터 천장면에 설치된 예를 도시한다. 도 2에서는 거리측정 센서를 밀집하여 3개만 설치한 것으로 도시하였으나, 이는 설명의 편의를 위한 것이고 상황에 따라 다양한 개수 및 설치 위치를 가질 수 있음은 자명하다.The distance measuring sensor 120 may be installed on one side of the inner wall of the elevator. However, in order to identify the occupants in combination with the camera, it is preferable to be installed on the upper side of the elevator wall, that is, the ceiling. 2 also shows an example in which the distance measuring sensor 120 is installed on the ceiling of an elevator. In FIG. 2, only three distance measuring sensors are installed in a compact manner. However, this is for convenience of description and may have various numbers and installation positions according to circumstances.
거리측정센서(120)는 레이저, 적외선, 음파 등을 이용하여 반사되는 물체가 얼마나 떨어져 있는지를 측정할 수 있다. 거리측정센서(120)는 해당 분야의 통상의 지식을 가지 자가 대체 할 수 있는 다양한 근거리 측정 장치를 이용할 수 있다. The distance sensor 120 may measure how far an object to be reflected is separated by using a laser, infrared rays, or sound waves. Distance measuring sensor 120 may use a variety of short-range measuring device that can be replaced by those skilled in the art.
거리측정센서(120)만으로도 엘리베이터 내부에 가용공간이 있는지를 파악할 수 있으나, 탑승인원을 파악하기 위해서는 카메라(110)와 동시에 사용되는 것이 바람직하다. 카메라의 사각 등으로 카메라(110)에 입력된 정보만으로 정확한 탑승 인원을 파악하기 어려운 경우, 거리측정센서(120)에서 측정된 물체 위치 정보와 조합된 결과를 이용하여 탑승 인원을 파악한다. Although only the distance sensor 120 can determine whether there is an available space inside the elevator, it is preferable to be used simultaneously with the camera 110 to identify the occupant. When it is difficult to determine the correct occupant only by the information input to the camera 110 due to the blind spot of the camera, the occupant is identified using the result combined with the object position information measured by the distance measuring sensor 120.
도 3은 탑승가부판단부(100)의 구성 중 카메라(110)와 거리측정센서(120)가 조합된 정보를 해석한 결과를 개념적으로 도시한다. 도 3의 좌측 정보 결과는 거리측정센서(120)를 이용하여 엘리베이터 내부의 물체에 대한 위치를 도시한 것으로 탑승자의 머리, 어깨 등의 높낮이가 다르기 때문에 명확하게 탑승 인원이 파악되지 않는다. 도 3의 우측 정보 결과는 좌측 거리측정센서(120) 정보에 카메라(110)를 이용해 파악한 정보까지 조합된 결과를 나타낸다. 원형으로 표시한 부분이 명확하게 탑승자의 위치를 나타내는 것으로 도 3에서는 총 4명이 엘리베이터에 탑승한 것으로 측정된다. 사선으로 도시한 부분이 최종적인 탑승자의 위치를 나타낸다.3 conceptually illustrates a result of analyzing information in which the camera 110 and the distance measuring sensor 120 are combined during the configuration of the boarding determination unit 100. The left information result of FIG. 3 shows the position of the object inside the elevator by using the distance sensor 120. Since the height of the occupant's head, shoulder, etc. is different, the occupant is not clearly identified. The right information result of FIG. 3 represents a result of combining the left distance measuring sensor 120 information with information obtained by using the camera 110. The circled part clearly indicates the position of the occupant, and in FIG. 3, a total of four people are measured as being in the elevator. The part shown by the diagonal line represents the position of the final occupant.
탑승인원 외에 탑승자의 무게를 기준으로 엘리베이터 탑승가부를 판단하기 위해서는 탑승 중량을 측정하기 위한 하중센서(130)를 이용하는 것이 바람직하다. 도 2에서는 설명의 편의를 위해 엘리베이터 바닥면에 3개의 하중센서(130) 블록만을 도시하였으나, 정확한 하중 측정을 위해서는 엘리베이터 바닥면 전체에 하중센서(130)가 설치되는 것이 바람직하다.In addition to the occupants, it is preferable to use a load sensor 130 for measuring the weight of the board to determine whether the elevator boarding based on the weight of the occupant. In FIG. 2, only three load sensor 130 blocks are shown on the bottom of the elevator for convenience of description, but in order to accurately measure the load, the load sensor 130 is preferably installed on the entire floor of the elevator.
하중센서(130)를 이용하여 엘리베이터에 탑승한 인원 또는 다른 물체의 전체 중량을 측정하고, 엘리베이터가 운행될 수 있는 안전 중량 기준보다 엘리베이터 내부 중량이 적은 경우, 카메라(110) 또는 카메라와 거리측정센서(120)가 조합된 수단을 이용하여 탑승인원을 측정하거나, 엘리베이터 내부 가용공간 면적을 측정하여, 엘리베이터 외부 대기자가 몇 명이나 탑승할 수 있는지 판단할 수도 있다.Measuring the total weight of the person or other objects in the elevator by using the load sensor 130, if the weight inside the elevator is less than the safety weight standard that the elevator can operate, camera 110 or the camera and distance measuring sensor The number of passengers outside the elevator may be determined by measuring the number of occupants using the combined means 120 or by measuring the available space inside the elevator.
본 발명은 카메라(110)에 입력된 영상정보, 거리측정센서(120)에서 측정된 거리정보 또는 하중센서(130)에서 측정된 하중정보 중 하나 이상을 변수로 이용하여 가용한 탑승인원을 결정하는 탑승인원결정부(700)를 포함할 수 있다. 도 1에서 탑승인원 결정부는 미도시하였다. 구성에 대한 명칭이 다른 뿐인데, 탑승가부판단부(100)는 엘리베이터에 가용한 공간이 있는지 판단하여 엘리베이터에 탑승이 가능한지 판단하는 구성을 의미하고, 탑승인원결정부(700)는 엘리베이터에 탑승가능한 구체적인 인원을 결정하는 것이다. 따라서 탑승가부판단부(100)에서 탑승인원을 결정할 수도 있고, 별도의 프로세서를 갖춘 장치에서 탑승인원을 결정할 수도 있는 것이다.The present invention determines the available occupants by using one or more of the image information input to the camera 110, the distance information measured by the distance measuring sensor 120 or the load information measured by the load sensor 130 as a variable. A passenger number determination unit 700 may be included. In FIG. 1, the occupant determining unit is not shown. The name of the configuration is different only, the boarding judgment unit 100 means a configuration that determines whether there is space available in the elevator to determine whether it is possible to board the elevator, the boarding occupancy determining unit 700 is specific to the boarding To determine the number of people. Therefore, the boarding decision unit 100 may determine the number of passengers, or the device equipped with a separate processor may determine the number of passengers.
탑승인원결정부(700)는 하중센서(130)에서 측정된 하중 정보가 엘리베이터 가용하중보다 작은 경우, 카메라(110)에 입력된 영상정보에 대한 영상처리기술을 이용하여 확인된 탑승인원 또는 거리측정센서(120)에서 측정된 거리정보 중 하나 이상을 이용하여 가용한 탑승인원을 결정한다.When the load information measured by the load sensor 130 is less than the elevator available load, the boarding occupant determining unit 700 measures the number of passengers or distance checked using an image processing technique for the image information input to the camera 110. The available passengers are determined using one or more of the distance information measured by the sensor 120.
도 4는 엘리베이터 외부 대기자의 수를 파악하기 위한 탑승예정인원판단부(400)의 구성 및 동작을 설명하는 예시도이다.4 is an exemplary view for explaining the configuration and operation of the number of people to be boarded decision determination unit 400 to determine the number of waiting outside the elevator.
탑승예정인원판단부(400)는 엘리베이터를 탑승하고자 하는 외부 대기자의 수를 파악한다. 즉, 엘리베이터가 이동하는 방향 경로에 탑승멈춤경로 마다 외부 대기자의 수를 파악하는 것이다. 이러한 외부 대기자의 수를 탑승예정인원이라고 정의한다.The scheduled passenger determination unit 400 determines the number of external waiters to board the elevator. In other words, the number of external waiters is determined for each stopping route on the path in which the elevator moves. This number of external waiters is defined as the number of people to be boarded.
탑승예정인원판단부(400)는 엘리베이터 외부에 설치된 하나 이상의 카메라(410)를 포함하고, 카메라에 입력된 영상정보를 영상처리하여 탑승예정인원을 판단하는 것이 바람직하다. 탑승예정인원판단부(400)에 이용되는 카메라(410)는 CCD 카메라이거나, 열적외선 카메라일 수 있다. 원리는 엘리베이터 내부에 설치되어 있는 카메라(110)와 동일하다. 한편, 엘리베이터 외부에 설치된 카메라는 건물 내부에 설치된 CCTV 등을 이용하여도 된다.The scheduled passenger determination unit 400 may include one or more cameras 410 installed outside the elevator, and determine the expected passengers by image processing the image information input to the camera. The camera 410 used in the scheduled passenger determination unit 400 may be a CCD camera or a thermal infrared camera. The principle is the same as the camera 110 installed inside the elevator. On the other hand, the camera installed outside the elevator may use a CCTV or the like installed inside the building.
한편 탑승예정인원을 파악하기 위한 장치로 카메라(410) 외에 거리측정센서(120) 등 해당분야의 통상의 지식을 가진 자가 대체 가능한 다른 측정장치가 이용가능한 것은 물론이다.On the other hand, other devices that can be replaced by those skilled in the art, such as the distance measuring sensor 120 in addition to the camera 410 as a device for determining the number of people to be boarded is of course available.
도 1에서 점선으로 도시한 신호 내지 정보의 흐름은 실제멈춤결정부(500)의 동작을 도시하기 위한 것이다. 본 발명은 탑승가부판단부(100)에서 판단한 탑승가능공간, 탑승예정인원판단부(400)에서 판단한 탑승예정인원 및 하차멈춤경로에서 내부 탑승자가 하차하는 하차예정인원을 고려하여 멈춤경로에서 엘리베이터가 실제 멈추는 실제멈춤경로를 설정하는 실제멈춤결정부(500)를 더 포함할 수 있다.The flow of the signal or information shown by the dotted line in FIG. 1 is for illustrating the operation of the actual stop determination unit 500. The present invention takes into consideration the boarding space determined by the boarding decision unit 100, the number of scheduled passengers determined by the boarding decision member 400 and the scheduled passengers to get off at the stop stop route, the elevator in the stop route The actual stop may further include a real stop determination unit 500 for setting a real stop path.
실제멈춤결정부(500)는 탑승가부판단부(100)에서 판단한 결과 값인 탑승가능공간 내지 탐승가능인원결정부에서 결정된 탑승가능인원에서 하차멈춤경로에서 내부 탑승자가 하차하는 인원을 고려한 결과값과 탑승예정인원판단부(400)에서 판단한 탑승예정인원을 비교하여 각 층마다 탑승이 가능한지 판단을 수행한다. The actual stop determination unit 500 is a result value in consideration of the number of passengers who get off at the stop route and the number of passengers who get off at the boarding space determined as the result value determined by the boarding decision determination unit 100 or the number of occupants determined by the rideable number determination unit. Compared with the estimated number of people to be boarded determined by the planned number of people determination unit 400, it is determined whether boarding is possible for each floor.
특정 층의 모든 인원 또는 일부 인원이라도 탑승이 가능한 경우 실제멈춤결정부(500)는 해당 특정 층을 실제멈춤경로에 추가할 수 있다. 또는 특정 층의 모든 인원이 탑승가능한 경우에만 실제멈춤경로에 추가할 수도 있다. 이는 사전에 결정된 기준을 적용할 수도 있지만, 외부 대기자가 한번에 해당 층에 대기하고 있는 대기자가 모두 탑승하기 원하는 옵션을 선택한 경우에 해당 기준이 적용될 수도 있다.When all or some personnel of a specific floor are available, the actual stop determination unit 500 may add the specific floor to the actual stop path. Alternatively, you can add to the actual stop route only if all personnel on a particular floor are available. This may apply a predetermined criterion, but the criterion may also apply if an outside waiter has selected the option to wait for all waiters waiting on the floor at once.
후술하겠지만 엘리베이터 외부에 설치된 디스플레이부(300)를 통해 외부 대기자는 전술한 전체 대기자 탑승 요구 등을 포함한 각종 입력값을 입력할 수 있다. 또는 디스플레이부(300)가 아닌 별도의 입력 인터페이스를 이용할 수도 있다.As will be described later, the external waiter may input various input values including the above-described full waiter boarding request through the display unit 300 installed outside the elevator. Alternatively, the input unit may be used instead of the display unit 300.
실제멈춤결정부(500)에서 결정한 실제멈춤경로는 멈춤경로판단부(200)에 결정한 멈춤경로와 상이할 수 있다. 멈춤경로판단부(200)는 탑승자 또는 외부 대기자의 입력값을 기준으로 멈춤경로를 설정하기 때문이다. 실제멈춤결정부(500)에서 결정한 실제멈춤경로와 멈춤경로판단부(200)에서 사전에 결정한 멈춤경로가 상이한 경우, 실제멈춤경로를 엘리베이터의 멈춤경로로 재설정한다. 도 1 에 도시된 바와 같이, 실제멈춤결정부(500)가 결정한 실제멈춤경로를 멈춤경로판단부(200)에 판단한 멈춤경로값으로 재성정(점선으로 도시하였음)하거나, 실제멈춤결정부(500)에서 곧바로 중앙제어부(미도시 하였음)를 통해 엘리베이터 경로를 조정하고 디스플레이부(300)에 최종 실제멈춤경로를 표시(실선으로 도시하였음)하게 할 수 있다.The actual stop path determined by the real stop determiner 500 may be different from the stop path determined by the stop path determiner 200. This is because the stop route determining unit 200 sets the stop route based on the input value of the occupant or the external waiter. When the actual stop path determined by the actual stop determiner 500 and the stop path determined in advance by the stop path determiner 200 are different, the actual stop path is reset to the stop path of the elevator. As shown in FIG. 1, the actual stop path determined by the real stop determiner 500 is re-set (shown by a dotted line) determined by the stop path determiner 200, or the actual stop determiner 500 is determined. ), The elevator path may be adjusted directly through the central control unit (not shown), and the final actual stop path may be displayed on the display unit 300 (shown in solid line).
하차멈춤경로가 설정된 경우, 몇 명이 하차할지는 판단하기 어렵다. 보통 엘리베이터를 하차하고자 하는 사용자가 해당 층을 선택한 경우 동일층에 하차하고자 하는 자는 인터페이스를 통해 재차 입력을 수행하지 않기 때문이다. 따라서 본 발명에서는 하차멈춤경로가 설정된 경우 최소한 한 명이 하차하는 것으로 연산하였다.When the stop stop route is set, it is difficult to determine how many people will get off. Usually, when the user who wants to get off the elevator selects the floor, the person who wants to get off on the same floor does not input again through the interface. Therefore, in the present invention, when the stop stop route is set, it is calculated that at least one person gets off.
하지만 실제 내부 탑승자가 하차한 후 엘리베이터에 남은 인원이 예상한 하차 인원과 달라진 경우, 다시 탑승가부판단부(100)를 통해 정확한 탑승가능공간(또는 탑승인원)이 파악되기 때문에 곧바로 실제멈춤경로부에서 실제멈춤경로를 재설정할 수 있다. 따라서 실제멈춤경로부는 특정 층에서 엘리베이터가 멈춘 후에 엘리베이터 문이 닫힐 때마다 동작하는 것이 바람직하다.However, if the actual number of passengers remaining in the elevator after the actual internal passengers get off the expected number of disembarkation, the exact boarding space (or occupants) is identified through the boarding judgment part 100 again, so the actual stop route part immediately You can reset the actual stop path. Therefore, it is preferable that the actual stop path part operates every time the elevator door is closed after the elevator stops on a specific floor.
실제멈춤결정부(500)가 설정한 실제멈춤경로를 이용하여 엘리베이터가 외부 대기자가 대기하는 경로에 도달하는 대기시간을 연산하는 대기시간연산부(600)를 더 포함할 수 있다. 또한 이 대기시간을 외부 디스플레이부(300)에 표시하여 외부 대기자가 엘리베이터에 탑승가능한 시간을 사전에 알 수 있도록 한다.The real stop determination unit 500 may further include a wait time calculator 600 that calculates a waiting time for the elevator to reach a path where an external waiter waits using the real stop path set by the real stop determiner 500. In addition, the waiting time is displayed on the external display unit 300 so that the external waiting person can know in advance the time at which the passenger can board the elevator.
전술한 실제멈춤결정부(500)는 이용가능한 엘리베이터가 하나인 경우를 가정하여 설명한 것인데, 실제 건물에 복수 개의 엘리베이터가 설치되어 운행되는 경우도 고려하여야 한다.The above-described actual stop determination unit 500 has been described on the assumption that there is only one elevator available, and a case where a plurality of elevators are installed and operated in an actual building should also be considered.
실제멈춤결정부(500)는 이용가능한 엘리베이터가 복수 개인 경우, 각 엘리베이터의 탑승가능공간, 탑승예정인원 및 하차예정인원을 고려하여 복수 개의 엘리베이터 마다 실제멈춤경로를 설정할 수도 있다.When there are a plurality of elevators available, the actual stop determination unit 500 may set an actual stop path for each of the plurality of elevators in consideration of the available space of each elevator, the number of scheduled passengers, and the number of scheduled passengers to get off.
복수 개의 엘리베이터마다 탑승 가능한 공간 및 인원에 차이가 있으므로, 각 엘리베이터의 운행 시간을 기준으로 하여, 각 엘리베이터 마다 최적의 운행시간을 갖는 실제멈춤경로를 설정하는 것이 바람직하다.Since there is a difference in the space and the number of persons that can be boarded for each of the plurality of elevators, it is preferable to set an actual stop route having an optimal running time for each elevator based on the running time of each elevator.
본 발명의 다른 측면은 외부 디스플레이 장치가 아니라 효율적으로 운행되는 엘리베이터 자체이다. 따라서 엘리베이터는 실제멈춤결정부(500)가 실제멈춤경로를 설정하는 경우, 설정된 실제멈춤경로에서 엘리베이터가 멈추게된다.Another aspect of the invention is not the external display device, but the elevator itself running efficiently. Therefore, in the elevator, when the actual stop determination unit 500 sets the actual stop path, the elevator stops at the set actual stop path.
본 발명의 주요한 특징은 디스플레이부(300)에 집약된다고 할 수 있다. 이하 디스플레이부(300)에 대해 구체적인 실시예를 예로 들어 설명하기로 한다.The main feature of the present invention can be said to be concentrated in the display unit 300. Hereinafter, a specific embodiment of the display unit 300 will be described.

In this case, when the stop path is determined by the actual stop determination unit 500, the actual stop path is displayed as described above.
