　エレベーター装置１は、ネットワーク４を介してサーバ３に接続される。ネットワーク４は、例えばＩＰネットワークである。ＩＰネットワークは、通信プロトコルとしてＩＰ（Ｉｎｔｅｒｎｅｔ　Ｐｒｏｔｏｃｏｌ）を用いた通信ネットワークである。ネットワーク４は、クローズドネットワークでも良いし、オープンネットワークでも良い。サーバ３には、多数のエレベーター装置が接続される。エレベーター装置１は、サーバ３に接続されるエレベーター装置の一例である。例えば、エレベーター装置１は、ビルＢに備えられる。 The elevator device 1 is connected to the server 3 via the network 4. The network 4 is, for example, an IP network. The IP network is a communication network using IP (Internet Protocol) as a communication protocol. The network 4 may be a closed network or an open network. A large number of elevator devices are connected to the server 3. The elevator device 1 is an example of an elevator device connected to the server 3. For example, the elevator device 1 is provided in the building B.
　エレベーター装置１は、かご１１及びつり合いおもり１２を備える。かご１１は、昇降路１３を上下に移動する。昇降路１３は、ビルＢの内部に形成された上下に延びる空間である。かご１１及びつり合いおもり１２は、主ロープ１４によって昇降路１３に吊り下げられる。主ロープ１４は、巻上機１５に巻き掛けられる。巻上機１５は、制御装置１６によって制御される。即ち、制御装置１６は、かご１１の移動を制御する。制御装置１６は、ネットワーク４を介してサーバ３と通信可能である。制御装置１６が有する通信機能は、エレベーター装置１において別装置として備えられても良い。 The elevator device 1 includes a basket 11 and a balance weight 12. The car 11 moves up and down on the hoistway 13. The hoistway 13 is a vertically extending space formed inside the building B. The car 11 and the counterweight 12 are suspended from the hoistway 13 by the main rope 14. The main rope 14 is wound around the hoisting machine 15. The hoisting machine 15 is controlled by the control device 16. That is, the control device 16 controls the movement of the car 11. The control device 16 can communicate with the server 3 via the network 4. The communication function of the control device 16 may be provided as a separate device in the elevator device 1.
　かご１１に秤装置１８が設けられる。秤装置１８は、かご１１の積載荷重を測定する。秤装置１８が測定した値の情報は、制御装置１６に入力される。図１は、秤装置１８がかご１１の下部に設けられる例を示す。秤装置１８は、主ロープ１４の端部に設けられても良い。 The scale device 18 is provided in the basket 11. The weighing device 18 measures the load capacity of the car 11. Information on the value measured by the weighing device 18 is input to the control device 16. FIG. 1 shows an example in which the weighing device 18 is provided at the lower part of the car 11. The weighing device 18 may be provided at the end of the main rope 14.
　携帯端末２は、利用者が所有する端末である。携帯端末２は、例えばスマートフォンである。携帯端末２に、エレベーター用の特定のアプリケーションが予めインストールされる。利用者は、エレベーター装置１の管理を行う保守会社のホームページに携帯端末２からアクセスすることにより、携帯端末２に上記アプリケーションをダウンロードすることができる。以下の説明では、このアプリケーションを「アプリケーションＡ」と表記する。 The mobile terminal 2 is a terminal owned by the user. The mobile terminal 2 is, for example, a smartphone. A specific application for an elevator is pre-installed on the mobile terminal 2. The user can download the above application to the mobile terminal 2 by accessing the homepage of the maintenance company that manages the elevator device 1 from the mobile terminal 2. In the following description, this application will be referred to as "application A".
　図２は、携帯端末２の例を示す図である。携帯端末２は、表示器２１、入力装置２２、判定部２３、及び通信部２４を備える。表示器２１及び入力装置２２は、タッチパネル式の一体型の装置でも良い。 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of the mobile terminal 2. The mobile terminal 2 includes a display 21, an input device 22, a determination unit 23, and a communication unit 24. The display 21 and the input device 22 may be a touch panel type integrated device.
　図３は、携帯端末２の動作例を示すフローチャートである。携帯端末２では、エレベーター装置１に対する呼びを要求するために必要な要求操作が行われたか否かが判定される（Ｓ１０１）。利用者は、エレベーター装置１を利用する際に携帯端末２においてアプリケーションＡを立ち上げる。利用者は、入力装置２２から要求操作を行う。 FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the mobile terminal 2. In the mobile terminal 2, it is determined whether or not the request operation necessary for requesting the call to the elevator device 1 has been performed (S101). The user launches the application A on the mobile terminal 2 when using the elevator device 1. The user performs a request operation from the input device 22.
　図４は、利用者が行う要求操作を説明するための図である。図４は、表示器２１に表示された操作画面を示す。一例として、利用者が行う要求操作には、かご１１に乗る階を指定する操作が含まれる。要求操作には、かご１１から降りる階を指定する操作が含まれる。例えば、利用者がボタン２５を押すことにより、Ｓ１０１でＹｅｓと判定される。 FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining a request operation performed by the user. FIG. 4 shows an operation screen displayed on the display 21. As an example, the request operation performed by the user includes an operation of designating the floor on which the car 11 is placed. The request operation includes an operation of designating a floor to be descended from the car 11. For example, when the user presses the button 25, S101 determines Yes.
　Ｓ１０１でＹｅｓと判定されると、判定部２３は、追加要求の送信機能が有効であるか否かを判定する（Ｓ１０２）。追加要求は、かご１１内に占有空間を追加するための要求である。例えば、ベビーカーを押している利用者は、自分が乗る空間に加え、ベビーカーを載せるための空間がかご１１内に必要になる。かかる場合、利用者は、設定画面において追加要求の送信機能を予め有効にしておく。 If it is determined to be Yes in S101, the determination unit 23 determines whether or not the additional request transmission function is effective (S102). The additional request is a request for adding the occupied space in the car 11. For example, a user pushing a stroller needs a space in the basket 11 to put the stroller in addition to the space in which he / she rides. In such a case, the user enables the transmission function of the additional request in advance on the setting screen.
　図５は、設定画面の例を示す図である。利用者は、設定画面のチェックボックス２６にチェックを入れておくことにより、追加要求の送信機能を有効にしておくことができる。チェックボックス２６にチェックが入っていれば、Ｓ１０２でＹｅｓと判定される。チェックボックス２６にチェックが入っていなければ、Ｓ１０２でＮｏと判定される。 FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a setting screen. The user can enable the additional request transmission function by checking the check box 26 on the setting screen. If the check box 26 is checked, it is determined to be Yes in S102. If the check box 26 is not checked, it is determined as No in S102.
　Ｓ１０２でＹｅｓと判定されると、表示器２１に確認画面が表示される（Ｓ１０３）。図６は、確認画面の例を示す図である。確認画面は、追加要求を呼びに含めても良いか否かを確認するための画面である。確認画面が表示器２１に表示されると、判定部２３は、確認操作が行われたか否かを判定する（Ｓ１０４）。例えば、ボタン２７が押されると、Ｓ１０４でＹｅｓと判定される。ボタン２８が押されると、Ｓ１０４でＮｏと判定される。 If Yes is determined in S102, a confirmation screen is displayed on the display 21 (S103). FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a confirmation screen. The confirmation screen is a screen for confirming whether or not the additional request may be included in the call. When the confirmation screen is displayed on the display 21, the determination unit 23 determines whether or not the confirmation operation has been performed (S104). For example, when the button 27 is pressed, S104 determines Yes. When the button 28 is pressed, it is determined as No in S104.
　Ｓ１０４でＹｅｓと判定されると、通信部２４は、Ｓ１０１で行われた要求操作に基づく呼びを送信する（Ｓ１０５）。Ｓ１０５で送信される呼びには、エレベーター装置１を特定するための識別情報が含まれる。当該呼びには、利用者がかご１１に乗る階の情報とかご１１から降りる階の情報とが含まれる。更に、当該呼びには追加要求が含まれる。 If it is determined to be Yes in S104, the communication unit 24 transmits a call based on the request operation performed in S101 (S105). The call transmitted in S105 includes identification information for identifying the elevator device 1. The call includes information on the floor on which the user gets on the car 11 and information on the floor on which the user gets off the car 11. In addition, the call includes additional requests.
　一方、Ｓ１０２或いはＳ１０４でＮｏと判定されると、通信部２４は、追加要求を含まない呼びを送信する（Ｓ１０６）。Ｓ１０６で送信される呼びには、エレベーター装置１を特定するための識別情報が含まれる。当該呼びには、利用者がかご１１に乗る階の情報とかご１１から降りる階の情報とが含まれる。 On the other hand, if No is determined in S102 or S104, the communication unit 24 transmits a call that does not include an additional request (S106). The call transmitted in S106 includes identification information for identifying the elevator device 1. The call includes information on the floor on which the user gets on the car 11 and information on the floor on which the user gets off the car 11.
　図３は、Ｓ１０２でＹｅｓと判定された場合に、追加要求を呼びに含めても良いか否かを利用者に確認する例を示す。この確認のための処理は実行されなくても良い。かかる場合、Ｓ１０２でＹｅｓと判定されると、通信部２４は、Ｓ１０５において追加要求を含む呼びを送信する。通信部２４は、Ｓ１０２でＮｏと判定されると、Ｓ１０６において追加要求を含まない呼びを送信する。 FIG. 3 shows an example of confirming with the user whether or not an additional request may be included in the call when the result is determined to be Yes in S102. The process for this confirmation does not have to be executed. In such a case, if it is determined to be Yes in S102, the communication unit 24 transmits a call including an additional request in S105. When the communication unit 24 determines No in S102, the communication unit 24 transmits a call including no additional request in S106.
　また、図３は、利用者が自発的に要求操作を行う例を示す。他の例として、エレベーターの乗場１９に発信装置５が設置されても良い。発信装置５は、例えばビーコンである。発信装置５は、一定の周期で、特定の周波数帯域の無線信号を発する。携帯端末２では、発信装置５が発した無線信号を受信したか否かが判定される。発信装置５が発した無線信号を携帯端末２が受信すると、携帯端末２においてアプリケーションＡが自動的に起動する。 Further, FIG. 3 shows an example in which the user voluntarily performs a request operation. As another example, the transmitter 5 may be installed at the elevator landing 19. The transmitting device 5 is, for example, a beacon. The transmitting device 5 emits a radio signal in a specific frequency band at a fixed cycle. In the mobile terminal 2, it is determined whether or not the radio signal emitted by the transmitting device 5 is received. When the mobile terminal 2 receives the wireless signal emitted by the transmitting device 5, the application A is automatically activated in the mobile terminal 2.
　携帯端末２では、呼びの送信が自動的に行われても良い。例えば、利用者がかご１１に乗る階の情報とかご１１から降りる階の情報とは、予め登録される。チェックボックス２６にチェックが入っていれば、アプリケーションＡが起動することによって、追加要求を含む呼びが自動送信される。チェックボックス２６にチェックが入っていなければ、アプリケーションＡが起動することによって、追加要求を含まない呼びが自動送信される。 The mobile terminal 2 may automatically send a call. For example, the information on the floor where the user gets on the car 11 and the information on the floor where the user gets off the car 11 are registered in advance. If the check box 26 is checked, the call including the additional request is automatically transmitted by starting the application A. If the check box 26 is not checked, application A is started to automatically send a call that does not include an additional request.
　Ｓ１０５及びＳ１０６で送信された呼びは、サーバ３によって受信される。サーバ３は、受信した呼びをネットワーク４を介してエレベーター装置１に転送する。 The calls transmitted in S105 and S106 are received by the server 3. The server 3 transfers the received call to the elevator device 1 via the network 4.
　図７は、制御装置１６の例を示す図である。制御装置１６は、通信部３１、登録部３２、検出部３３、演算部３４、判定部３５、判定部３６、演算部３７、及び判定部３８を備える。 FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the control device 16. The control device 16 includes a communication unit 31, a registration unit 32, a detection unit 33, a calculation unit 34, a determination unit 35, a determination unit 36, a calculation unit 37, and a determination unit 38.
　図８は、制御装置１６の動作例を示すフローチャートである。制御装置１６では、携帯端末２から送信された呼びをサーバ３を介して受信したか否かが判定される（Ｓ２０１）。サーバ３で転送された携帯端末２からの呼びを通信部３１が受信すると、Ｓ２０１でＹｅｓと判定される。例えば、携帯端末２においてＳ１０５で呼びが送信されると、通信部３１は、追加要求を含む呼びを受信する。携帯端末２においてＳ１０６で呼びが送信されると、通信部３１は、追加要求を含まない呼びを受信する。 FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the control device 16. The control device 16 determines whether or not the call transmitted from the mobile terminal 2 is received via the server 3 (S201). When the communication unit 31 receives the call from the mobile terminal 2 transferred by the server 3, S201 determines Yes. For example, when the call is transmitted in S105 in the mobile terminal 2, the communication unit 31 receives the call including the additional request. When the call is transmitted in S106 in the mobile terminal 2, the communication unit 31 receives the call that does not include the additional request.
　登録部３２は、かご１１に応答させる呼びを登録する。即ち、かご１１は、登録部３２が登録した呼びに順次応答する。かご１１は、登録部３２が登録しない呼びには応答しない。エレベーター装置１以外のエレベーター装置がビルＢに備えられていなければ、通信部３１が受信した呼びを登録部３２が一旦登録しなくても、その後に登録のための条件が成立すれば、登録部３２は当該呼びを登録する。エレベーター装置１以外のエレベーター装置がビルＢに備えられていれば、登録部３２が登録しない呼びには、かご１１以外のかごが応答する。 The registration unit 32 registers a call to be answered in the car 11. That is, the car 11 sequentially responds to the calls registered by the registration unit 32. The basket 11 does not respond to a call that the registration unit 32 does not register. If an elevator device other than the elevator device 1 is not provided in the building B, even if the registration unit 32 does not once register the call received by the communication unit 31, if the conditions for registration are satisfied after that, the registration unit 32 registers the call. If an elevator device other than the elevator device 1 is provided in the building B, a car other than the car 11 responds to a call not registered by the registration unit 32.
　Ｓ２０１で新規の呼びが受信されると、その呼びを登録するか否かを判定するための登録判定処理が開始される。図８のＳ２０２からＳ２０７に示す処理は、登録判定処理の一つである満員判定処理である。以下の説明では、Ｓ２０１で新規に受信された呼びのことを、他の呼びと区別するために「新規呼び」と表記する。 When a new call is received in S201, the registration determination process for determining whether or not to register the call is started. The process shown in S202 to S207 of FIG. 8 is a fullness determination process, which is one of the registration determination processes. In the following description, the call newly received in S201 is referred to as "new call" in order to distinguish it from other calls.
　Ｓ２０１でＹｅｓと判定されると、制御装置１６では、秤装置１８によって測定された値が取得される（Ｓ２０２）。以下の説明では、Ｓ２０２で取得された値のことを「秤値Ｗ１」とも表記する。また、Ｓ２０１でＹｅｓと判定されると、検出部３３は、その時点で登録されている呼びに含まれる追加要求の数Ｎを検出する（Ｓ２０３）。なお、登録されている呼びとは、登録部３２が登録した呼びであって、かご１１の応答が完了していない呼びのことである。 If it is determined to be Yes in S201, the control device 16 acquires the value measured by the weighing device 18 (S202). In the following description, the value acquired in S202 is also referred to as “scale value W1”. Further, if it is determined to be Yes in S201, the detection unit 33 detects the number N of additional requests included in the call registered at that time (S203). The registered call is a call registered by the registration unit 32, and the response of the car 11 has not been completed.
　次に、演算部３４は、検出部３３によって検出された数Ｎに応じて補正値Ｗａ１を演算する（Ｓ２０４）。例えば、演算部３４は（１）式によって補正値Ｗａ１を演算する。
　Ｗａ１＝Ｎ×Ｗｐ　　…（１）
　ここで、Ｗｐは予め設定された値である。利用者１人分の荷重として設定された値がＷｐとして採用されても良い。一例として、Ｗｐ＝７５ｋｇに設定される。 Next, the calculation unit 34 calculates the correction value Wa1 according to the number N detected by the detection unit 33 (S204). For example, the calculation unit 34 calculates the correction value Wa1 by the equation (1).
Wa1 = N × Wp ... (1)
Here, Wp is a preset value. The value set as the load for one user may be adopted as Wp. As an example, Wp = 75 kg is set.
　次に、演算部３４は、かご１１が満員であるか否かを判定するための判定値Ｗｄ１を演算する（Ｓ２０５）。例えば、演算部３４は（２）式によって判定値Ｗｄ１を演算する。
　Ｗｄ１＝Ｗ１＋Ｗａ１　　…（２）
　即ち、演算部３４は、補正値Ｗａ１を秤値Ｗ１に加算することによって判定値Ｗｄ１を得る。なお、Ｓ２０３で検出された数Ｎが０であれば、判定値Ｗｄ１は秤値Ｗ１と同値になる。 Next, the calculation unit 34 calculates a determination value Wd1 for determining whether or not the car 11 is full (S205). For example, the calculation unit 34 calculates the determination value Wd1 by the equation (2).
Wd1 = W1 + Wa1 ... (2)
That is, the calculation unit 34 obtains the determination value Wd1 by adding the correction value Wa1 to the scale value W1. If the number N detected in S203 is 0, the determination value Wd1 is the same as the scale value W1.
　判定部３５は、判定値Ｗｄ１と特定の閾値Ｔｈ１とに基づいて、かご１１が満員であるか否かを判定する。例えば、判定部３５は、判定値Ｗｄ１と閾値Ｔｈ１とを比較する（Ｓ２０６）。閾値Ｔｈ１は、かご１１の最大積載荷重に基づいて予め設定される。一例として、閾値Ｔｈ１は、かご１１の最大積載荷重の９０％の値に設定される。判定部３５は、判定値Ｗｄ１が閾値Ｔｈ１より大きければ、かご１１が満員であると判定する（Ｓ２０７）。かご１１が満員であるとＳ２０７で判定されると、登録部３２は、Ｓ２０１で受信された新規呼びを登録しない。 The determination unit 35 determines whether or not the car 11 is full based on the determination value Wd1 and the specific threshold value Th1. For example, the determination unit 35 compares the determination value Wd1 with the threshold value Th1 (S206). The threshold Th1 is preset based on the maximum load capacity of the car 11. As an example, the threshold Th1 is set to a value of 90% of the maximum load capacity of the car 11. If the determination value Wd1 is larger than the threshold value Th1, the determination unit 35 determines that the car 11 is full (S207). When it is determined in S207 that the car 11 is full, the registration unit 32 does not register the new call received in S201.
　このように、満員判定処理では、数Ｎに応じた補正値Ｗａ１が秤値Ｗ１に加算され、当該加算によって得られた判定値Ｗｄ１が閾値Ｔｈ１と比較される。このため、ベビーカー等がかご１１に乗っていることを考慮した満員判定が可能となり、利用者の利便性が低下することを防止できる。また、既設の秤装置１８を利用するために安価に実現でき、既設のエレベーター装置への適用も容易である。 As described above, in the fullness determination process, the correction value Wa1 corresponding to the number N is added to the scale value W1, and the determination value Wd1 obtained by the addition is compared with the threshold value Th1. Therefore, it is possible to determine the occupancy in consideration of the fact that the stroller or the like is in the car 11, and it is possible to prevent the convenience of the user from being lowered. Further, since the existing weighing device 18 can be used, it can be realized at low cost and can be easily applied to the existing elevator device.
　図８のＳ２０８からＳ２１３に示す処理は、登録判定処理の一つである乗車判定処理である。Ｓ２０６でＮｏと判定されると、新規呼びを送信した利用者がかご１１に乗ることができるか否かを判定するための処理が開始される。即ち、Ｓ２０６でＮｏと判定されると、判定部３６は、新規呼びに追加要求が含まれているか否かを判定する（Ｓ２０８）。Ｓ１０５で送信された呼びを通信部３１が受信すると、Ｓ２０８でＹｅｓと判定される。Ｓ１０６で送信された呼びを通信部３１が受信すると、Ｓ２０８でＮｏと判定される。 The process shown in S208 to S213 in FIG. 8 is a boarding determination process, which is one of the registration determination processes. If No is determined in S206, a process for determining whether or not the user who has transmitted the new call can get in the car 11 is started. That is, if No is determined in S206, the determination unit 36 determines whether or not the new call includes an additional request (S208). When the communication unit 31 receives the call transmitted in S105, it is determined as Yes in S208. When the communication unit 31 receives the call transmitted in S106, it is determined as No in S208.
　演算部３７は、利用者がかご１１に乗ることができるか否かを判定するための判定値Ｗｄ２を演算する。例えば、演算部３７は、Ｓ２０８でＮｏと判定されると、（３）式によって判定値Ｗｄ２を演算する（Ｓ２０９）。
　Ｗｄ２＝Ｗｄ１＋Ｗｐ　　…（３）
　即ち、Ｓ２０８でＮｏと判定されると、演算部３７は、判定値Ｗｄ１に一定値Ｗｐを加算することによって判定値Ｗｄ２を得る。 The calculation unit 37 calculates a determination value Wd2 for determining whether or not the user can get in the car 11. For example, when the calculation unit 37 determines No in S208, the calculation unit 37 calculates the determination value Wd2 by the equation (3) (S209).
Wd2 = Wd1 + Wp ... (3)
That is, when No is determined in S208, the calculation unit 37 obtains the determination value Wd2 by adding the constant value Wp to the determination value Wd1.
　一方、Ｓ２０８でＹｅｓと判定されると、演算部３７は、（４）式によって判定値Ｗｄ２を演算する（Ｓ２１０）。
　Ｗｄ２＝Ｗｄ１＋２×Ｗｐ　　…（４）
　即ち、Ｓ２０８でＹｅｓと判定されると、演算部３７は、判定値Ｗｄ１に一定値Ｗｐより大きな特定の値を加算することによって判定値Ｗｄ２を得る。（４）式は、判定値Ｗｄ１に一定値Ｗｐの２倍の値が加算される例を示す。 On the other hand, if it is determined to be Yes in S208, the calculation unit 37 calculates the determination value Wd2 by the equation (4) (S210).
Wd2 = Wd1 + 2 × Wp ... (4)
That is, when the determination is Yes in S208, the calculation unit 37 obtains the determination value Wd2 by adding a specific value larger than the constant value Wp to the determination value Wd1. Equation (4) shows an example in which a value twice the constant value Wp is added to the determination value Wd1.
　判定部３８は、判定値Ｗｄ２と特定の閾値Ｔｈ２とに基づいて、新規呼びの登録が可能か否かを判定する。例えば、判定部３８は、判定値Ｗｄ２と閾値Ｔｈ２とを比較する（Ｓ２１１）。閾値Ｔｈ２は、かご１１の最大積載荷重に基づいて予め設定される。閾値Ｔｈ２は、閾値Ｔｈ１より大きい。一例として、閾値Ｔｈ２は、かご１１の最大積載荷重の１１０％の値に設定される。判定部３８は、判定値Ｗｄ２が閾値Ｔｈ２より大きければ、新規呼びを送信した利用者はかご１１に乗ることができないと判定する（Ｓ２１２）。乗車不可とＳ２１２で判定されると、登録部３２は、Ｓ２０１で受信された新規呼びを登録しない。 The determination unit 38 determines whether or not a new call can be registered based on the determination value Wd2 and the specific threshold value Th2. For example, the determination unit 38 compares the determination value Wd2 with the threshold value Th2 (S211). The threshold Th2 is preset based on the maximum load capacity of the car 11. The threshold Th2 is larger than the threshold Th1. As an example, the threshold Th2 is set to a value of 110% of the maximum load capacity of the car 11. If the determination value Wd2 is larger than the threshold value Th2, the determination unit 38 determines that the user who has transmitted the new call cannot ride in the car 11 (S212). If it is determined in S212 that the vehicle cannot be boarded, the registration unit 32 does not register the new call received in S201.
　一方、判定部３８は、判定値Ｗｄ２が閾値Ｔｈ２より大きくなければ、新規呼びを送信した利用者はかご１１に乗ることができると判定する（Ｓ２１３）。Ｓ２１１でＹｅｓと判定されると、登録のための他の条件が成立すれば、登録部３２は新規呼びを登録する。 On the other hand, the determination unit 38 determines that the user who has transmitted the new call can get in the car 11 if the determination value Wd2 is not larger than the threshold value Th2 (S213). If Yes is determined in S211 and other conditions for registration are satisfied, the registration unit 32 registers a new call.
　このように、乗車判定処理では、新規呼びに追加要求が含まれているか否かによって判定値Ｗｄ１に加算される値が設定され、当該加算によって得られた判定値Ｗｄ２が閾値Ｔｈ２と比較される。このため、ベビーカー等を押している利用者のことを考慮した乗車判定が可能となり、利用者の利便性が低下することを防止できる。また、既設の秤装置１８を利用するために安価に実現でき、既設のエレベーター装置への適用も容易である。 As described above, in the boarding determination process, a value to be added to the determination value Wd1 is set depending on whether or not an additional request is included in the new call, and the determination value Wd2 obtained by the addition is compared with the threshold value Th2. .. Therefore, it is possible to determine the boarding in consideration of the user pushing the stroller or the like, and it is possible to prevent the convenience of the user from being lowered. Further, since the existing weighing device 18 can be used, it can be realized at low cost and can be easily applied to the existing elevator device.
　他の例として、追加したい占有空間の広さを利用者が携帯端末２から指定できても良い。図９は、携帯端末２に表示される確認画面の他の例を示す図である。図９は、仮想人数を指定して追加要求を呼びに含める例を示す。携帯端末２では、図３に示す動作と同様の動作が行われる。Ｓ１０２でＹｅｓと判定されると、Ｓ１０３において図９に示す確認画面が表示器２１に表示される。 As another example, the user may be able to specify the size of the occupied space to be added from the mobile terminal 2. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing another example of the confirmation screen displayed on the mobile terminal 2. FIG. 9 shows an example in which an additional request is included in a call by designating a virtual number of people. In the mobile terminal 2, the same operation as that shown in FIG. 3 is performed. If Yes is determined in S102, the confirmation screen shown in FIG. 9 is displayed on the display 21 in S103.
　例えば、利用者は、スーツケースを運ぶためにかご１１内に０．５人分の占有空間を追加したい場合、ボタン２７ａを押す。同様に、利用者は、ベビーカーのために１人分の占有空間を追加したい場合、ボタン２７ｂを押す。利用者は、大型の荷物を運ぶために２人分の占有空間を追加したい場合、ボタン２７ｃを押す。利用者は、３人分の占有空間を追加したい場合、ボタン２７ｄを押す。ボタン２７ａ～２７ｄの何れかのボタンが押されると、Ｓ１０４でＹｅｓと判定される。Ｓ１０５で送信される呼びの追加要求には、指定された仮想人数の情報が含まれる。ボタン２８が押されると、Ｓ１０４でＮｏと判定される。 For example, the user presses the button 27a when he / she wants to add an occupied space for 0.5 people in the basket 11 to carry the suitcase. Similarly, the user presses button 27b if he wants to add space for one person for the stroller. The user presses the button 27c when he / she wants to add an occupied space for two people to carry a large load. The user presses the button 27d when he / she wants to add the occupied space for three people. When any of the buttons 27a to 27d is pressed, S104 determines Yes. The call addition request transmitted in S105 includes information on the specified number of virtual people. When the button 28 is pressed, it is determined as No in S104.
　制御装置１６では、図８に示す動作と同様の動作が行われる。以下においては、上述した動作と異なる動作についてのみ説明する。例えば、検出部３３は、Ｓ２０１でＹｅｓと判定されると、Ｓ２０３において、その時点で登録されている呼びに含まれる追加要求を検出する。演算部３４は、検出部３３によって検出された追加要求が指定する仮想人数Ｎｖｓｕｍに応じて補正値Ｗａ１を演算する（Ｓ２０４）。 In the control device 16, the same operation as that shown in FIG. 8 is performed. In the following, only operations different from the above-mentioned operations will be described. For example, when the detection unit 33 determines Yes in S201, the detection unit 33 detects an additional request included in the call registered at that time in S203. The calculation unit 34 calculates the correction value Wa1 according to the virtual number of people Nvsum specified by the additional request detected by the detection unit 33 (S204).
　例えば、演算部３４は（５）式によって補正値Ｗａ１を演算する。
　Ｗａ１＝Ｎｖｓｕｍ×Ｗｐ　　…（５）
　一例として、新規呼びを受信した時点で５つの呼びが登録されており、検出部３３がＳ２０３で２つの追加要求を検出した場合を考える。１つの追加要求が指定する仮想人数Ｎｖが１人であり、もう１つの追加要求が指定する仮想人数Ｎｖが０．５人であれば、演算部３４は、（５）式のＮｖｓｕｍに各Ｎｖの和である１．５を代入する。（５）式は、仮想人数Ｎｖｓｕｍに一定値Ｗｐを掛けることによって補正値Ｗａ１を得る例を示す。 For example, the calculation unit 34 calculates the correction value Wa1 by the equation (5).
Wa1 = Nvsum × Wp… (5)
As an example, consider a case where five calls are registered when a new call is received and the detection unit 33 detects two additional requests in S203. If the virtual number Nv specified by one additional request is one and the virtual number Nv specified by the other additional request is 0.5, the arithmetic unit 34 inputs each Nv to the Nvsum of the equation (5). Substitute 1.5, which is the sum of. Equation (5) shows an example of obtaining a correction value Wa1 by multiplying the virtual number of people Nvsum by a constant value Wp.
　また、乗車判定処理では、Ｓ２０８でＹｅｓと判定されると、演算部３７は、新規呼びの追加要求が指定する仮想人数Ｎｖｎｅｗに応じて補正値Ｗａ２を演算する。例えば、演算部３７は、（６）式によって補正値Ｗａ２を演算する。
　Ｗａ２＝Ｎｖｎｅｗ×Ｗｐ　　…（６） Further, in the boarding determination process, if Yes is determined in S208, the calculation unit 37 calculates the correction value Wa2 according to the virtual number of people Nvnew specified by the request for adding a new call. For example, the calculation unit 37 calculates the correction value Wa2 by the equation (6).
Wa2 = Nvnew × Wp ... (6)
　次に、演算部３７は、補正値Ｗａ２も用いて（７）式によって判定値Ｗｄ２を演算する（Ｓ２０９）。
　Ｗｄ２＝Ｗｄ１＋Ｗｐ＋Ｗａ２　　…（７）
　即ち、Ｓ２０８でＹｅｓと判定されると、演算部３７は、判定値Ｗｄ１に一定値Ｗｐと補正値Ｗａ２とを加算することによって判定値Ｗｄ２を得る。 Next, the calculation unit 37 calculates the determination value Wd2 by the equation (7) using the correction value Wa2 (S209).
Wd2 = Wd1 + Wp + Wa2 ... (7)
That is, when the determination is Yes in S208, the calculation unit 37 obtains the determination value Wd2 by adding the constant value Wp and the correction value Wa2 to the determination value Wd1.
