Embodiment 3 FIG.
FIG. 7 is a front view of an information terminal of the elevator system according to Embodiment 3 of the present invention. Note that the same or corresponding parts as those in the first embodiment or the second embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals. The description of this part is omitted.

The input unit 9d is provided so as to be able to accept an input of an authentication cancellation code by an external operation.

The input unit 9d recognizes the code corresponding to the number as the code for deauthorization when the return button is pressed after the number button is pressed. For example, the input unit 9d recognizes the number of digits of the authentication cancellation code according to the number of times the number button is pressed.

At this time, the display unit 9c displays a number “*” corresponding to the number of digits input to the input unit 9d.

Next, the outline | summary of operation | movement of an elevator system is demonstrated using FIG.
FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the outline of the operation of the elevator system according to the third embodiment of the present invention.

In step S21, the information terminal 9 receives an input of an authentication cancellation code. Thereafter, the reading device 6 performs the operation of step S22. In step S 22, the reading device 6 reads the identification information and the authentication cancellation code from the information terminal 9. Thereafter, the destination floor registration device 8 performs the operation of step S23. In step S23, the destination floor registration device 8 determines whether or not to authenticate the authentication cancellation code.

If the code for deauthentication is not authenticated in step S23, the destination floor registration device 8 performs the operation of step S24. In step S 24, the destination floor registration device 8 transmits information indicating that the car 3 cannot be allocated to the security gate 5. Thereafter, the security gate 5 performs the operation of step S25. In step S25, the security gate 5 maintains the closed state. Thereafter, the elevator system ends its operation.

When the code for deauthentication is authenticated in step S23, the destination floor registration device 8 performs the operation of step S26. In step S 26, the destination floor registration device 8 transmits information on the car 3 to which the call corresponding to the destination floor is assigned to the security gate 5 and the writing device 7. Thereafter, the writing device 7 performs the operation of step S27. In step S 27, the writing device 7 writes information on the car 3 in the information terminal 9. Thereafter, the security gate 5 performs the operation of step S28. In step S18, the security gate 5 is temporarily opened. Thereafter, the elevator system ends its operation.

According to the third embodiment described above, in addition to authentication by the information terminal 9 itself, it is also necessary to input an authentication cancellation code. For this reason, the security of an elevator system can be improved.

Note that the destination floor information and the authentication cancellation code may be automatically determined based on the number of digits input to the information terminal 9. In this case, it is possible to drive the car 3 to the floor desired by the user while improving the security of the elevator system.

As described above, the elevator system can be used for a system for checking a car to which a call is assigned.
