Embodiment 1
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a destination floor registration device of an elevator according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
 図1において、行先階登録部1は、利用者による操作に基づいて、エレベータのかごの行先階を決定して、行先階登録を行う。タッチパネル2は、各行先階釦を画面上に表示するとともに、利用者が行先階を登録する際のタッチ操作を感知する。なお、タッチパネル2の画面上のレイアウトとしては、区画で仕切る形で、各階の行先階釦を割り付けることができ、必要に応じて、行先階釦以外にも、各種機能に対応した入力釦を割り付けることもできる。 In FIG. 1, the destination floor registration unit 1 determines a destination floor of an elevator car based on an operation by a user and performs destination floor registration. The touch panel 2 displays a row destination floor button on the screen and senses a touch operation when the user registers a destination floor. In addition, as the layout on the screen of the touch panel 2, a destination floor button of each floor can be allocated in a form divided into sections, and input buttons corresponding to various functions can be allocated other than the destination floor button as needed. It can also be done.
 アナウンス装置3は、タッチパネル2による感知結果に基づいて特定される、利用者がタッチパネル2をなぞっている指の位置を報知する。また、アナウンス装置3は、利用者の操作に基づいて行先階登録部1により行先階登録が行われた際に、登録された行先階を報知する。エレベータ制御装置4は、行先階登録部1による行先階登録に従って、エレベータの運転制御を行う。なお、この発明におけるエレベータの行先階登録装置は、乗場またはかご内のいずれにも適用可能である。 The announcement device 3 reports the position of the finger being traced by the user, which is specified based on the detection result by the touch panel 2. In addition, when the destination floor registration unit 1 performs the destination floor registration based on the user's operation, the announcement device 3 notifies the registered destination floor. The elevator control device 4 performs operation control of the elevator according to the destination floor registration by the destination floor registration unit 1. In addition, the destination floor registration apparatus of the elevator in this invention is applicable also to a hall or in a car.
 次に、行先階登録部1の各部の機能を詳細に説明する。 Next, the function of each part of the destination floor registration unit 1 will be described in detail.
 第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、タッチパネル2による感知結果に基づいて、利用者がタッチパネル2をなぞっている指の位置を第1の座標として検出する。さらに、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、利用者のタッチパネル2のなぞりが停止したことを検出する。例えば、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、検出した第1の座標の変化量が予め設定した停止判定範囲内に収まっている状態が設定時間継続することで、なぞりが停止したことを判断できる。 The first touch coordinate detection unit 1 a detects, as a first coordinate, the position of the finger on which the user is tracing the touch panel 2 based on the detection result of the touch panel 2. Furthermore, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a detects that the user's touch on the touch panel 2 has stopped. For example, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a can determine that tracing has stopped by continuing the state in which the amount of change in the detected first coordinate falls within the stop determination range set in advance for a set time. .
 第2のタッチ座標検出部1bは、利用者がタッチパネル2のなぞりを停止し、指がタッチされている状態で、別の指による第2のタッチを行った際に、その第2のタッチの指の位置を第2の座標として検出する。例えば、第2のタッチ座標検出部1bは、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aから、なぞりが停止した状態での第1の座標に関する情報を取得できる。そして、第2のタッチ座標検出部1bは、この状態において、第1の座標と異なる位置に関してタッチパネル2による感知結果が得られることで、第2のタッチがあったと判断し、第2の座標を検出することができる。 The second touch coordinate detection unit 1b is used for the second touch when the user performs a second touch with another finger in a state in which the user stops tracing the touch panel 2 and the finger is touched. The position of the finger is detected as a second coordinate. For example, the second touch coordinate detection unit 1b can obtain, from the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a, information on the first coordinate in a state where the tracing is stopped. Then, in this state, the second touch coordinate detection unit 1b determines that there is a second touch because the sensing result by the touch panel 2 is obtained for the position different from the first coordinate, and the second coordinate is determined. It can be detected.
 行先階検出部1cは、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aから取得した第1の座標と、タッチパネル2上に配置されている各行先階釦の位置とを比較することで、利用者の指により選定されている行先階を判定する。 The destination floor detection unit 1c compares the first coordinates obtained from the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a with the positions of the row destination floor buttons arranged on the touch panel 2 so that the user's finger can be used. Determine the selected destination floor.
 行先階決定部1dは、利用者がタッチパネル2のなぞりを停止した状態での第1の座標を第1のタッチ座標検出部1aから取得する。そして、行先階決定部1dは、なぞりが停止した状態で取得した第1の座標と、タッチパネル2上に配置されている各行先階釦の位置とを比較することで、利用者の操作に基づいて指定された行先階を仮決定する。 The destination floor determination unit 1d acquires, from the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a, the first coordinates in a state in which the user has stopped tracing the touch panel 2. Then, based on the user's operation, the destination floor determination unit 1d compares the first coordinates acquired while the tracing is stopped with the positions of the row destination floor buttons arranged on the touch panel 2. Tentatively determine the designated destination floor.
 さらに、行先階決定部1dは、行先階が仮決定されている状態で、第2のタッチ座標検出部1bから第2の座標を取得できた場合には、仮決定された行先階を、行先階登録すべき行先階として決定する。 Furthermore, if the second floor can be acquired from the second touch coordinate detection unit 1b in a state where the destination floor is tentatively determined, the destination floor determination unit 1d determines the tentatively determined destination floor as the destination floor. The floor is determined as the destination floor to be registered.
 入力方式判定部1eは、利用者のタッチパネル2の操作から、利用者が片手を使用して入力するか、両手を使用して入力するかを事前に判定する。例えば、入力方式判定部1eは、行先階の入力前の、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aにより検出された第1の座標と、第2のタッチ座標検出部1bにより検出された第2の座標との距離から、利用者が片手を使用して入力しているか、両手を使用して入力しているかを判定することができる。第1のタッチ座標検出部1aおよび第2のタッチ座標検出部1bは、タッチ座標検出部11を構成する。 From the user's operation on the touch panel 2, the input method determination unit 1e determines in advance whether the user inputs using one hand or inputs using both hands. For example, the input method determination unit 1e is configured to input the first coordinates detected by the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a and the second coordinates detected by the second touch coordinate detection unit 1b before the input of the destination floor. From this distance, it can be determined whether the user is inputting using one hand or using both hands. The first touch coordinate detection unit 1 a and the second touch coordinate detection unit 1 b constitute a touch coordinate detection unit 11.
 登録階決定部1fは、行先階決定部1dで決定された行先階を、エレベータ制御装置4に登録する。 The registered floor determination unit 1 f registers the destination floor determined by the destination floor determination unit 1 d in the elevator control device 4.
 報知制御部1gは、利用者がタッチパネル2を操作している間、行先階検出部1cで判定される行先階、および行先階決定部1dで決定された行先階をアナウンス装置3からアナウンスさせる。 While the user operates the touch panel 2, the notification control unit 1 g causes the announcement device 3 to announce the destination floor determined by the destination floor detection unit 1 c and the destination floor determined by the destination floor determination unit 1 d.
 このような各機能を備えた行先階登録部1は、ソフトウェアでもハードウェアでも構成され得る。行先階登録部1は、ソフトウェアで構成される場合には、図1で機能ブロックとして示した各機能を実行するプログラム、および各機能を実行するのに必要な各種データを記憶したメモリと、メモリに格納されたプログラムおよび各種データに従って処理を行うプロセッサとからなるコンピュータで構成され得る。 The destination floor registration unit 1 having such functions may be configured by software or hardware. If the destination floor registration unit 1 is configured by software, a memory that stores a program that executes each function shown as a functional block in FIG. 1 and various data necessary to execute each function, and a memory And a processor that performs processing in accordance with various programs and various data stored therein.
 一方、行先階登録部1は、ハードウェアで構成される場合には、各種機能を実行する1つまたは複数のディジタル回路で構成される。この場合には、付随する各種データは、ディジタル回路に予め組み込んでおくこととなる。 On the other hand, the destination floor registration unit 1 is configured by one or more digital circuits that execute various functions when configured by hardware. In this case, the accompanying various data are incorporated in advance in the digital circuit.
 次に、この発明の実施の形態1におけるエレベータの行先階登録装置の動作を、図2のフローチャートを用いて詳細に説明する。 Next, the operation of the destination floor registration device for elevators in accordance with the first embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail using the flowchart of FIG.
 まず、ステップS101にて、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、タッチパネル2による感知結果に基づいて、利用者によるタッチパネル2上での指のなぞりが検出されたか否かを判定する。そして、指のなぞりを検出した場合には、ステップS102に進む。 First, in step S101, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a determines, based on the result of sensing by the touch panel 2, whether or not the user's finger drag on the touch panel 2 is detected. Then, when the finger drag is detected, the process proceeds to step S102.
 ここでの「なぞり」とは、タッチパネル2上に指が触れた状態で、かつ指がスライドしている状態を意味する。従って、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、タッチパネル2による感知結果から特定できる座標が時間とともに変化することで、「なぞり」の状態であることを判断できる。 Here, “throw” means that the finger is in contact with the touch panel 2 and the finger is sliding. Therefore, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a can determine that the state of "sliding" is made by the fact that the coordinates that can be specified from the detection result by the touch panel 2 change with time.
 なお、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、複数の指のなぞりを検出した場合には、予め設定された1点を選択して、なぞりを検出するものとする。例えば、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、複数の指のうち、一番上部の座標を有する点を選択して、タッチ位置とする。そして、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、利用者がタッチパネル2をなぞっている指の位置を、第1の座標として検出する。 When the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a detects a trace of a plurality of fingers, it selects one preset point to detect the trace. For example, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a selects a point having the top coordinates among a plurality of fingers as a touch position. Then, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a detects the position of the finger with which the user is tracing the touch panel 2 as a first coordinate.
 ステップS102では、行先階検出部1cは、第1の座標から行先階を判定する。さらに、報知制御部1gは、行先階検出部1cにより判定された行先階を、アナウンス装置3により音でアナウンスさせて、ステップS103へ進む。従って、利用者は、指をなぞりながら、自身の指が、現状、どの行先階釦に触れているかを、音によるアナウンスで容易に判断することができる。 In step S102, the destination floor detection unit 1c determines the destination floor from the first coordinates. Furthermore, the notification control unit 1g causes the announcement device 3 to announce the destination floor determined by the destination floor detection unit 1c by sound, and the process proceeds to step S103. Therefore, the user can easily determine which destination floor button the finger is currently touching by means of a sound announcement while tracing the finger.
 ステップS103では、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、指のなぞりが停止したか否かを判定する。そして、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、指のなぞりが停止していない場合には、ステップS102へ戻り、指のなぞりが停止した場合には、ステップS104へ進む。 In step S103, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a determines whether the finger dragging has stopped. Then, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a returns to step S102 when the finger tracing is not stopped, and proceeds to step S104 when the finger tracing is stopped.
 ステップS104では、行先階決定部1dは、指のなぞりが停止した状態で、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aにより検出された第1の座標に基づいて、行先階を仮決定し、ステップS105へ進む。 In step S104, the destination floor determination unit 1d temporarily determines the destination floor based on the first coordinates detected by the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a in a state in which the finger tracing is stopped, and the process proceeds to step S105. move on.
 ステップS105では、行先階決定部1dは、第2のタッチ座標検出部1bにより第2の座標が検出されたか否かを判定する。そして、第2の座標が検出された場合には、ステップS108に進み、第2の座標が検出されない場合には、ステップS106に進む。 In step S105, the destination floor determination unit 1d determines whether the second coordinates are detected by the second touch coordinate detection unit 1b. Then, when the second coordinate is detected, the process proceeds to step S108, and when the second coordinate is not detected, the process proceeds to step S106.
 ステップS106では、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、なぞりを検出したか否かを判断する。そして、なぞりが検出された場合には、ステップS102へ戻り、なぞりが検出されなかった場合には、ステップS107へ進む。 In step S106, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a determines whether a drag has been detected. Then, if the trace is detected, the process returns to step S102, and if the trace is not detected, the process proceeds to step S107.
 ステップS107では、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aは、指がタッチパネル2上から離れたか否かを判断する。指がタッチパネル2上から離れたと判断された場合には、ステップS101へ戻り、指がタッチパネル上から離れていないと判断された場合には、ステップS105へ戻る。 In step S107, the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a determines whether the finger has left the touch panel 2 or not. If it is determined that the finger has left the touch panel 2, the process returns to step S101, and if it is determined that the finger has not left the touch panel, the process returns to step S105.
 ステップS108では、行先階決定部1dは、第1のタッチ座標検出部1aによってなぞりが停止したと判定されてから、第2のタッチ座標検出部1bによって第2の座標が検出されるまでの時間が、予め設定された許容時間範囲内であるか否かを判定する。そして、行先階決定部1dは、許容時間範囲内に第2の座標が検出された場合には、第1の座標に対応する行先階を行先階として決定して、S109へ進む。 In step S108, the time it takes for the second touch coordinate detection unit 1b to detect the second coordinates after the destination floor determination unit 1d determines that the first touch coordinate detection unit 1a stops tracing. It is determined whether or not it is within a preset allowable time range. Then, when the second coordinate is detected within the allowable time range, the destination floor determination unit 1d determines the destination floor corresponding to the first coordinate as the destination floor, and proceeds to S109.
 行先階決定部1dは、なぞりが停止してから、第2の座標が検出されるまでの時間が許容時間範囲外であったと判定した場合には、ステップS108aに進む。ステップS108aでは、報知制御部1gは、例えば、アナウンス装置3を介して、行先階入力操作のやり直しを利用者に対してアナウンスさせる。 If the destination floor determination unit 1 d determines that the time until the second coordinate is detected after the tracing is stopped is outside the allowable time range, the process proceeds to step S108 a. In step S108a, the notification control unit 1g causes the user to announce, for example, that the destination floor input operation should be performed again via the announcement device 3.
 ここで、許容時間範囲は、利用者によるなぞりが停止し、タッチパネル2に指をタッチさせた状態において、別の指で第2のタッチを行ったことを確認するための時間範囲として設定される。具体的には、この許容時間範囲は、第1の時間T1以上、第2の時間T2以下(T1<T2)として設定される。 Here, the allowable time range is set as a time range for confirming that the second touch is performed with another finger in a state where the user stops tracing and the touch panel 2 is touched by the finger. . Specifically, this allowable time range is set as the first time T1 or more and the second time T2 or less (T1 <T2).
 利用者のなぞりが停止した後、許容時間範囲を超えて、または許容時間範囲より短い時間で、第2のタッチ座標検出部1bにより第2の座標が検出された場合には、利用者の意図しない別の要因によるタッチが検出されてしまった可能性がある。そこで、行先階決定部1dは、許容時間範囲で第2の座標が検出されたか否かを判断することで、意図しない別の要因によるタッチの誤検出を防止することができる。 In the case where the second coordinates are detected by the second touch coordinate detection unit 1b after the user's drag stops and the second touch coordinate detection unit 1b detects the second coordinates within the allowable time range or in a time shorter than the allowable time range, the intention of the user It is possible that a touch due to another factor has not been detected. Therefore, the destination floor determination unit 1d can prevent an erroneous detection of a touch due to another unintended factor by determining whether or not the second coordinate is detected in the allowable time range.
 なお、このなぞりが停止してから第2の座標を検出するまでの時間制限の処理は、なくてもよい。 In addition, the process of the time restriction | limiting until this 2nd coordinate is detected after stop of this tracing may not be necessary.
 ステップS109では、登録階決定部1fは、ステップS108において行先階決定部1dによって決定された行先階を、エレベータ制御装置4に登録し、一連処理を終了する。このように、本実施の形態1に係るエレベータの行先階登録装置は、タッチパネル2の画面から仮決定を行った指が離れない状態で行先階登録を実行するため、再タッチ時に指の位置がずれてしまうことによる誤登録を防止できる。 In step S109, the registration floor determination unit 1f registers the destination floor determined by the destination floor determination unit 1d in step S108 in the elevator control device 4, and ends the series of processes. As described above, the destination floor registration device of the elevator according to the first embodiment performs destination floor registration in a state in which the finger that has been temporarily determined from the screen of touch panel 2 does not separate, so the position of the finger at the time of retouching Misregistration due to misalignment can be prevented.
 以上のように、実施の形態1によれば、利用者により、タッチパネル上の所望の行先階釦がタッチされている状態が維持されたまま、別のタッチ入力が行われることで、所望の行先階釦に対応した行先階が利用者により選択されたと判断し、行先階登録すべき行先階を決定できる構成を備えている。この結果、行先階の誤登録を防止することのできるエレベータの行先階登録装置およびエレベータの行先階登録方法を実現できる。 As described above, according to the first embodiment, another touch input is performed by the user while the state in which the desired destination floor button on the touch panel is touched is maintained, and thus the desired destination is input. It is determined that the destination floor corresponding to the floor button is selected by the user, and the destination floor to be registered in the destination floor can be determined. As a result, it is possible to realize an elevator destination floor registration device and an elevator destination floor registration method capable of preventing erroneous registration of a destination floor.
 さらに、実施の形態1によれば、利用者が所望の行先階釦を選択する際に、タッチパネル上で指をなぞらせた場合には、タッチパネル上の指の位置に配置されている行先階釦の情報を音でアナウンスする構成を付加することができる。この結果、視覚障がい者による行先階登録に適したエレベータの行先階登録装置およびエレベータの行先階登録方法を実現できる。 Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, when the user selects a desired destination floor button, if the user swipes a finger on the touch panel, the destination floor located at the position of the finger on the touch panel It is possible to add a configuration for announcing the button information by sound. As a result, it is possible to realize the elevator destination floor registration device and the elevator destination floor registration method suitable for the destination floor registration by the visually impaired.
 さらに、実施の形態1によれば、2つのタッチ入力の時間差を監視することで、意図しない別の要因によるタッチを除外できる構成を付加することができる。この結果、誤検出による行先階登録を防止することができる。 Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, by monitoring the time difference between two touch inputs, it is possible to add a configuration that can exclude a touch due to an unintended cause. As a result, destination floor registration due to false detection can be prevented.
 なお、図1に示した行先階登録部1内の構成は、一例であり、複数の構成要素を1つにまとめて構成することも可能である。 In addition, the structure in the destination floor registration part 1 shown in FIG. 1 is an example, and it is also possible to put together several components and to comprise.
 実施の形態2.
 実施の形態1においては、第2の座標が許容時間範囲内で検出されたことを確認することで、意図しない別の要因によるタッチの誤検出を防止する場合について説明した。これに対して、この実施の形態2では、利用者が片手か両手かの入力方式を予め選択しておき、第1の座標と、その後の第2の座標との距離に基づいて、意図しない別の要因によるタッチの誤検出を防止する場合について説明する。
Second Embodiment
In the first embodiment, the case has been described in which the erroneous detection of the touch due to an unintended cause is prevented by confirming that the second coordinate is detected within the allowable time range. On the other hand, in the second embodiment, the user preselects the input method of one hand or two hands, and the user does not intend based on the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate thereafter. A case of preventing erroneous detection of touch due to another factor will be described.
 本実施の形態2において、入力方式判定部1eは、利用者による選択入力に基づいて、第1の座標と第2の座標を設定する入力方法が、片手であるか両手であるかを予め特定する。さらに、入力方式判定部1eは、なぞりが停止した際の第1の座標とその後の第2の座標との距離を算出する。そして、行先階決定部1dは、算出した距離が、片手による入力では遠すぎる距離である場合、または両手による入力では近すぎる距離である場合には、登録操作を認めず、除外することで、誤登録を防止することができる。 In the second embodiment, the input method determination unit 1 e specifies in advance whether the input method for setting the first coordinate and the second coordinate is one hand or both hands based on the selection input by the user. Do. Furthermore, the input method determination unit 1 e calculates the distance between the first coordinate at the time the tracing is stopped and the second coordinate thereafter. Then, if the calculated distance is too long for one-handed input or if it is too near for two-handed input, the destination floor determination unit 1d does not accept the registration operation, but excludes it. Misregistration can be prevented.
 次に、この発明の実施の形態2におけるエレベータ行先階登録装置の動作を、実施の形態1と同様の状況を例に挙げて、図3のフローチャートを用いて詳細に説明する。 Next, the operation of the elevator destination floor registration apparatus according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 3, taking the same situation as that of the first embodiment as an example.
 まず、ステップS201にて、入力方式判定部1eは、利用者に対して、第1の座標と第2の座標を設定する入力方法が、片手であるか両手であるかを選択させる。具体的には、例えば、タッチパネル2上に片手か両手かの入力方式を選択する機能釦を設けておくことで、入力方式判定部1eは、利用者による選択操作に基づいて、入力方法を検出する。なお、入力方式判定部1eは、報知制御部1gおよびアナウンス装置3を介して、利用者に対して、入力方式の選択操作を促すアナウンスをさせてもよい。 First, in step S201, the input method determination unit 1e causes the user to select whether the input method for setting the first coordinate and the second coordinate is one hand or both hands. Specifically, for example, by providing the function button for selecting the input method of one hand or both hands on the touch panel 2, the input method determination unit 1e detects the input method based on the selection operation by the user. Do. Note that the input method determination unit 1e may cause the user to make an announcement prompting the user to select an input method via the notification control unit 1g and the announcement device 3.
 ステップS201において入力方式が決定された後には、図2に示す実施の形態1におけるステップS101~108aの処理が実行され、その後、ステップS202へ進む。 After the input method is determined in step S201, the processes of steps S101 to 108a in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 2 are executed, and then the process proceeds to step S202.
 ステップS202では、行先階決定部1dは、入力方式判定部1eから、入力方式の選択結果、および第1の座標と第2の座標との距離の算出結果を取得する。そして、行先階決定部1dは、選択結果から入力方式が片手であるか否かを判定し、利用者によって片手の入力方式が選択された場合には、ステップS203へ進み、両手の入力方式が選択された場合には、ステップS204へ進む。 In step S202, the destination floor determination unit 1d acquires the selection result of the input method and the calculation result of the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate from the input method determination unit 1e. Then, the destination floor determination unit 1d determines whether the input method is one hand based on the selection result, and when the user selects the one hand input method, the process proceeds to step S203, and the input method of both hands is selected. If it is selected, the process proceeds to step S204.
 ステップS203では、行先階決定部1dは、入力方式判定部1eから取得した算出結果に基づいて、第1の座標と第2の座標との距離が、片手で操作可能な短い距離範囲であるか否かを判定する。 In step S203, based on the calculation result acquired from the input method determination unit 1e, the destination floor determination unit 1d determines whether the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is a short distance range that can be operated with one hand. It is determined whether or not.
 そして、行先階決定部1dは、第1の座標と第2の座標との距離が短い距離範囲内であると判定した場合には、片手操作により第2の座標が適切に読み取れたと判断し、ステップS205に進む。一方、行先階決定部1dは、第1の座標と第2の座標との距離が短い距離範囲内でないと判定した場合には、ステップS101以降の処理に戻る。 Then, if the destination floor determination unit 1d determines that the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is within a short distance range, it determines that the second coordinate has been properly read by one-hand operation, The process proceeds to step S205. On the other hand, if the destination floor determination unit 1d determines that the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is not within the short distance range, the process returns to step S101 and subsequent steps.
 一方、ステップS204では、行先階決定部1dは、入力方式判定部1eから取得した算出結果に基づいて、第1の座標と第2の座標との距離が、両手で操作可能な長い距離範囲であるか否かを判定する。 On the other hand, in step S204, based on the calculation result acquired from the input method determination unit 1e, the destination floor determination unit 1d sets the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate within a long distance range that can be operated with both hands. Determine if there is.
 そして、行先階決定部1dは、第1の座標と第2の座標との距離が長い距離範囲内であると判定した場合には、両手操作により第2の座標が適切に読み取れたと判断し、ステップS205に進む。一方、行先階決定部1dは、第1の座標と第2の座標との距離が長い距離範囲内でないと判定した場合には、ステップS101以降の処理に戻る。 Then, if the destination floor determination unit 1d determines that the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is within a long distance range, it determines that the second coordinate is properly read by two-hand operation, The process proceeds to step S205. On the other hand, if it is determined that the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is not within the long distance range, the destination floor determination unit 1d returns to the process after step S101.
 最終的に、ステップS205に進んだ場合には、登録階決定部1fは、先のステップS109の処理を実行し、実施の形態1と同様に、一連処理を終了する。このようにして、第1の座標と第2の座標との距離に基づいて、意図しない別の要因によるタッチの誤検出を防止することができる。 Finally, when the process proceeds to step S205, the registered floor determination unit 1f executes the process of step S109 described above, and ends the series of processes as in the first embodiment. In this manner, based on the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate, it is possible to prevent an erroneous detection of a touch due to an unintended cause.
 なお、図3のステップS203およびステップS204では、第1の座標と第2の座標の距離が設定範囲にない場合には、図2に示す実施の形態1におけるステップS101~108aの処理に戻るように記載されている。しかしながら、本発明は、このような処理に限定されるものではない。 In steps S203 and S204 of FIG. 3, if the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is not within the set range, the process returns to the process of steps S101 to 108a in the first embodiment shown in FIG. It is described in. However, the present invention is not limited to such processing.
 図3のステップS203およびステップS204において、第1の座標と第2の座標の距離が設定範囲にない場合と判断された場合には、図2のステップS108aに示す処理と同様に、利用者に対して、行先階入力操作のやり直しをアナウンスすることも可能である。 If it is determined in step S203 and step S204 in FIG. 3 that the distance between the first coordinate and the second coordinate is not within the set range, the user is notified as in the process shown in step S108a in FIG. On the other hand, it is also possible to announce the redo of the destination floor input operation.
 この発明のエレベータの行先階登録装置によれば、タッチパネルから指を離さずに、行先階登録を行うことができる構成を備えている。この結果、利用者の誤操作による意図しない階への行先階登録を防止することができる。また、この発明のエレベータの行先階登録装置は、片手でも両手でも操作可能なため、利用者にとって利便性のよい行先階登録方式を提供することができる。 According to the destination floor registration device of the elevator of the present invention, the destination floor registration can be performed without releasing the finger from the touch panel. As a result, it is possible to prevent destination floor registration to an unintended floor due to a user's erroneous operation. Further, since the elevator destination floor registration device of the present invention can be operated with either one hand or both hands, it is possible to provide a convenient destination floor registration system for the user.
 また、この発明に係るエレベータの行先階登録装置は、タッチされた位置に対応する行先階釦を音によりアナウンスする機能を付加することができる。従って、本発明に係るタッチパネル式の行先階登録装置は、視覚障がい者が行先階を登録する場合においても、適用することができる。 Moreover, the destination floor registration apparatus of the elevator based on this invention can be added with the function which announces the destination floor button corresponding to the touched position by a sound. Therefore, the touch-panel-type destination floor registration device according to the present invention can be applied even when the visually impaired person registers the destination floor.
