The departure floor and the destination floor are transmitted from the building management board 29 to the elevator management board 17 together with, for example, a recognition signal. The operation management unit 18 drives the car 13 so as to answer the registered call.

Here, the destination floor of the user may be selected by the user. When the user arrives at the landing 7, the display unit 22 of the mobile device 20 displays the floor that can be used by the user registered in the related information of the user as a candidate for the destination floor. The image displayed here is generated by, for example, the guidance information generation unit 34 or the like. The user selects a destination floor from the candidates displayed through the voice recognition unit 25, the line-of-sight detection unit 24, or the like.

When the user is waiting for the arrival of the car 13 on the departure floor, the display unit 22 of the mobile device 20 may display the user's related information and the like. The display unit 22 displays, for example, information on the user's schedule, information on the user's in-house newsletter, and the like. Alternatively, the display unit 22 may display the content information. The content information may be, for example, news, a weather forecast, an advertisement, or management information of a building 2. The image of the information displayed here is generated by, for example, the guidance information generation unit 34 or the like.

When the car 13 arrives at the departure floor of the user, the display unit 22 of the mobile device 20 displays an image prompting the user to board the car 13. The image displayed here is generated as guidance information by, for example, the guidance information generation unit 34.

When the user is in the car 13, the display unit 22 of the mobile device 20 may display the same as when waiting at the landing 7.

FIG. 7 shows an example of guidance information displayed by the mobile device 20.

When the car 13 is closer to the user's destination floor than the preset proximity, the guidance information generation unit 34 generates an image indicating arrival at the destination floor as guidance information. The guidance information generation unit 34 generates the image when, for example, the distance from the car 13 to the user's destination floor is shorter than the preset distance. In this example, the guidance information generation unit 34 generates an image including an icon image showing the operation of opening the car door 14, a message notifying the arrival at the destination floor, and a message showing the floor of the destination floor. Here, the message is generated based on the language registered as the user's related information. The third communication unit 30 transmits the generated guidance information to the mobile device 20.

FIG. 8 shows an example of guidance information displayed by the mobile device 20 when the related information is shown in FIG. 7 and when another language is registered.

In this example, the guidance information generation unit 34 generates guidance information including a common icon image regardless of the language of the related information. Alternatively, the guidance information generation unit 34 may generate guidance information including an icon image corresponding to the user's cultural area when the related information includes information representing the user's cultural area.

After that, the user moves to the destination according to the display displayed on the mobile device 20. When the user passes through the door locked by the electric lock 37, the authentication unit 35 of the building management board 29 notifies the electric lock 37 that the user can be authenticated based on the biometric information. Upon receiving the notification from the authentication unit 35, the electric lock 37 unlocks the door. As a result, the user can smoothly pass through the inside of the building 2 to the destination.

FIG. 9 shows an example of guidance information displayed by the mobile device 20 when an emergency event occurs.

The traffic management system 1 guides the user to evacuate when an emergency event occurs. Here, the emergency event is an event requiring evacuation in the building 2 such as an earthquake or a fire.

When an emergency event occurs, the route information generation unit 33 generates route information including an evacuation route and an evacuation timing. The route information generation unit 33 sets the user's destination as an evacuation area. The evacuation area is, for example, a place preset in the building 2 in response to an emergency event. When there are a plurality of evacuation sites, the route information generation unit 33 is based on, for example, the location information of the user, the congestion information of each floor, the location information of the location where the emergency event occurred, and the related information of the user. You may choose an evacuation site. The route information generation unit 33 generates route information including an evacuation route with the evacuation site as the destination of the user. At this time, the evacuation route is generated based on the user's related information. For example, when the related information includes the physical function "wheelchair use", the route information generation unit 33 generates an evacuation route through a place having few steps.

Further, the route information generation unit 33 sets the evacuation timing for each user, for example, when it becomes difficult to move due to the occurrence of congestion. The evacuation timing is set based on, for example, the position of the user, congestion information on each floor, and the like. The evacuation timing may be set based on the user's related information. For example, when the information related to the user includes the physical function "visual impairment" and the route information generation unit 33 obtains the information that the caregiver is heading to the user, the user is evacuated. The timing may be set after the caregiver arrives.

The guidance information generation unit 34 generates guidance information based on the route information generated by the route information generation unit 33. For example, before the user's evacuation timing, the guidance information generation unit 34 generates an image including a message requesting to wait until the evacuation timing as guidance information. After the user's evacuation timing, the guidance information generation unit 34 generates an image of an arrow along the evacuation route using the user's position information. The third communication unit 30 transmits the generated guidance information to the mobile device 20.

The display unit 22 of the mobile device 20 displays the guidance information received by the second communication unit 21. When the user is waiting for the evacuation timing, the display unit 22 of the mobile device 20 may display information on an emergency event that has occurred, information on the response status to the emergency event, and the like. The image of the information displayed here is generated by, for example, the guidance information generation unit 34 or the like.

Further, the route information generation unit 33 generates route information based on congestion information about the floor including the destination of the first user.

The situation such as congestion may change for each floor inside the building 2. Since the route information is generated based on the congestion information before and after the user moves between the floors, the guidance of the user becomes smoother.

Further, when the route information generation unit 33 is generating the route information of another person, the route information about the first user is generated based on the route information of the other person. The other user route information is route information that guides another user of the first user among a plurality of users.

As a result, route information adjusted between each user is generated, so that the user's guidance becomes smoother.

Further, the traffic management system 1 includes an operation management unit 18. The operation management unit 18 registers a call from the departure floor to the destination floor of the first user when the first user arrives at the platform 7 of the elevator 5.
Further, the operation management unit 18 detects that the first user has arrived at the landing 7 by the recognition signal transmitted by the mobile device 20. The recognition signal is transmitted when the mobile device 20 recognizes the coded image 12 attached to the landing 7 by the camera provided in the mobile device 20. Further, it is transmitted when the mobile device 20 recognizes the landing device of the elevator 5 by the camera provided in the mobile device 20.

Since the user's call is automatically registered in the elevator 5, the guided user's movement becomes smoother. Further, since the arrival at the landing 7 is detected based on the image of the landing equipment or the coded image 12 attached to the landing 7, the call is registered by the natural movement of the user. Since the coded image 12 may be recognized based on the image taken by the camera rather than the visual sense of the user, there is room for adjustment in the size or color of the coded image 12 within the range in which the image can be recognized. Therefore, the influence of the coded image 12 on the design of the landing 7 is suppressed.

Further, the guidance information generation unit 34 generates guidance information including information on the call of the first user.

Since information such as the arrival of the car 13 in response to the user's call is shown as guidance information, the user can use the elevator 5 more smoothly. This makes the movement of the user smoother.
