Description

The present invention relates to an elevator control technique in which a regulatory device for restricting entry to a landing is installed.

In order to improve the security of buildings equipped with elevators, whether to install a security gate at the elevator landing and allow the passage of the security gate based on the identification information (unique ID, etc.) read from the IC card possessed by the user. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a control technique for restricting a user's entry into a landing by determining whether or not it is present.

Further, in Patent Document 1, when the passage of the security gate is permitted, the control for performing call registration using the initial setting floor associated with the identification information of the permitted user. Technology has been proposed.

On the other hand, in an elevator to which such a control technology is applied, the user may miss the car assigned by the call registration after passing through the security gate. Therefore, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a control technique in which a registration device is installed in the landing and the registration device enables call registration again.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2013-67489 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2015-174716

In the above control technology disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the destination floor that the user can move by calling registration is limited to the initial setting floor associated with the identification information. However, if a common floor with a cafeteria or dining room is set up in the building, users can move to such a common floor by elevator, apart from the default floor (for example, the office floor). There is a need to.

Therefore, in order to enable movement to the common floor, it is conceivable to enable the above registration device to perform call registration with the common floor as the destination floor after passing through the security gate. However, in such a control, a new call registration different from the call registration executed when passing through the security gate is generated, so that the call registration executed when passing through the security gate is not only wasted, but also The useless operation of the elevator in response to the call registration (for example, the useless stop of the car on the floor where no one gets off) increases, and as a result, the operation efficiency of the elevator decreases.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to use an elevator in which a regulation device such as a security gate for restricting entry to a landing is installed, to a destination floor different from the initial setting floor without reducing the operation efficiency of the elevator. It is to provide a control system that enables the movement of.

In the control system of the elevator according to the present invention, a regulation device for restricting entry to the landing is installed, and whether or not to allow the user to pass through the regulation device is determined based on the identification information of the user. , Which is a control system applicable to the above, and includes a control device and a change reservation device. When the control device is permitted to pass through the regulation device based on the identification information, the control device calls and registers the identification information as a target. The change reservation device is installed outside the regulation device, and reserves a destination floor different from the initial setting floor associated with the identification information for each identification information as the target destination floor used for call registration. To enable. Then, when performing call registration, the control device determines whether to use the initial setting floor or another destination floor reserved by the change reservation device as the target destination floor.

According to the above control system, the user can reserve a destination floor different from the initial setting floor as the target destination floor used for call registration with the change reservation device before passing through the regulation device. Then, by letting the control device determine whether to use the initial setting floor or another destination floor reserved by the change reservation device as the target destination floor, the user can restrict the change reservation of the destination floor. It becomes possible to reflect it in the call registration executed when the device passes through. Therefore, waste such as two different call registrations for the same user is less likely to occur.

In the above control system, the control device has reservation management data, and when a user makes a reservation with the change reservation device, the identification information of the user and the reservation information including another reserved destination floor are used. , May be added to the reservation management data in association with each other. Then, when performing call registration, the control device may determine whether to use the initial setting floor or another destination floor as the target destination floor based on the reservation management data. According to this configuration, the information obtained by reserving another destination floor with the change reservation device (reservation information including another reserved destination floor) is managed for each identification information in the reservation management data. Therefore, the control device can acquire the determination material (that is, the reservation information) for selecting the target destination floor to be used for the call registration only by referring to the reservation management data. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the control in the control device from becoming complicated.

In the control system, when the control device performs call registration using the other destination floor, the identification information targeted for the call registration and the reservation information associated with the identification information are stored. It may be deleted from the reservation management data. As a result, the reservation of another destination floor on the change reservation device is valid only for the call registration that is subsequently executed when the user first passes through the regulation device. That is, a one-time reservation for another destination floor is realized.

In the above control system, the change reservation device enables the reservation of another destination floor for each identification information, and also enables the setting of the validity period for using the other destination floor as the target destination floor. May be good. Further, when the change reservation device makes a reservation for another destination floor and the validity period is set, the control device is set in the reservation information when the reservation information is added to the reservation management data. The validity period may be included. Then, in the case of performing call registration, if the identification information that is the target of the call registration is included in the reservation management data, the control device is valid included in the reservation information associated with the identification information. Based on the period, it may be determined whether the initial setting floor or another destination floor is used as the target destination floor.

According to this configuration, once the user sets the validity period on the change reservation device, the period intended by the user (valid) is thereafter even if the user does not repeatedly make a reservation on the change reservation device. Depending on the period), another destination floor is selected by the control device as the target destination floor used for call registration. Therefore, the convenience for the user is improved.

In the above control system, the identification information may be further associated with a disembarkation permission floor set as a disembarkation floor that can be permitted other than the initial setting floor. Then, when the change reservation device enables reservation of another destination floor for each identification information, the disembarkation permission floor associated with the identification information may be reserved as another destination floor. According to this configuration, in the change reservation device, it is possible for the user to select only the disembarkation floor (disembarkation permission floor) that is permitted other than the initial setting floor.

In the above control system, a reading device is provided in both the regulation device and the change reservation device, and the identification information read by the reading device is authenticated, and when the authentication is successful, the identification information is read. The device information that identifies the device on which the reader is provided and the initial setting floor that is associated with the identification information that has been successfully authenticated are combined with the management information that has a one-to-one correspondence with the identification information in the control device. It may be transmitted. Then, when the device information (A) is the device information of the regulation device, the control device may call and register using the management information as the identification information. Further, when the device information (B) is the device information of the change reservation device, the control device controls the change reservation device to enable the reservation of another destination floor by the change reservation device, and the reservation thereof. When this is performed, the management information may be used as the identification information, and another reserved destination floor may be managed in association with the management information.

According to this configuration, the control device can use the management information instead of the identification information to control the change reservation device and manage another destination floor reserved by the change reservation device. Therefore, the change reservation of the destination floor can be realized without acquiring the identification information from the other system side such as the security server.

According to the present invention, in an elevator equipped with a regulation device such as a security gate that regulates entry to the landing, a user who goes to a destination floor different from the initial setting floor without lowering the operation efficiency of the elevator. It can be moved.

[1] Configuration of Elevator and Its Control System [1-1] Configuration of Elevator FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing an elevator to which the control system according to the embodiment is applied. As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator includes a plurality of car 100s and a plurality of regulatory devices 101. Although FIG. 1 shows an elevator having three car 100s, the control system described below can be applied to an elevator having a plurality of car 100s, which is not limited to three. The control system of the present invention is also applicable to an elevator equipped with only one car 100 (see [3-4]), as will be described later. Further, although FIG. 1 shows an elevator equipped with three regulatory devices 101, the control system described below can also be applied to an elevator equipped with a plurality of regulatory devices 101, not limited to three. , It can also be applied to an elevator equipped with only one regulation device 101.

The regulation device 101 is a device such as a security gate that regulates the entry of the elevator into the landing H. The regulation device 101 is provided with a reading device 1A that reads identification information Pi (unique information that identifies the recording medium Q, such as a unique ID) from a recording medium Q (IC card, magnetic card, etc.) possessed by the user. There is. Further, the regulation device 101 is further provided with a display device 5A for displaying information such as the car 100 on which the user should board.

Here, the reading method of the recording medium Q by the reading device 1A may be a contact type or a non-contact type that reads information by short-range communication such as NFC (Near Field Communication). Well, it is not particularly limited. Further, the recording medium Q is not limited to a card-shaped one, but may be a stick-shaped one or a chip-shaped one. Further, a portable information terminal such as a smartphone capable of short-range communication (NFC or the like) with the reading device 1A may be used as the recording medium Q. The same applies to the reading device 1B of the change reservation device 4 described later.

Then, in the present embodiment, the regulation of entry into the landing H by the regulation device 101 (that is, the restriction of the users who can pass through the regulation device 101) is realized by the following control. Here, device information Pd for identifying the device is set in the device provided with the reading device, such as the regulation device 101 and the change reservation device 4 described later. The device information Pd may be information that identifies the reading device.

First, the identification information Pi read by the reading device 1A is transmitted from the regulating device 101 to the security server 102 together with the device information Pd1 of the regulating device 101 provided with the reading device 1A.

After that, the security server 102 authenticates the received identification information Pi. That is, whether or not to allow the user to pass through the regulation device 101 is determined based on the user's identification information Pi. Then, when the authentication of the identification information Pi is successful, the security server 102 identifies and identifies the regulatory device 101 that has transmitted the identification information Pi based on the device information Pd1 transmitted together with the identification information Pi. The operation of the regulation device 101 is controlled to allow the user to pass through. On the other hand, when the authentication of the identification information Pi fails, the security server 102 controls the operation of the regulation device 101 specified based on the device information Pd1 to restrict the passage of the user (specifically, prohibition).

[1-2] Configuration of Control System The control system of the present embodiment is composed of a plurality of elevator control devices 2, a group management control device 3, and a change reservation device 4 (FIG. 1).

The elevator control device 2 is provided so as to correspond to each of the car 100, and each elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the car 100 corresponding to itself. Then, these elevator control devices 2 are centrally managed and controlled by the group management control device 3. Specifically, each elevator control device 2 controls the operation of the car 100 based on the landing call (target destination floor Ft and departure floor) assigned by the group management control device 3. ..

When the authentication of the identification information Pi by the security server 102 is successful (when the passage of the regulation device 101 is permitted based on the identification information Pi), the group management control device 3 has the identification information Pi (in the present embodiment). , Call registration is performed for the management information Pj) which will be described later and is used instead of the identification information Pi (call registration process). Specifically, the group management control device 3 assigns the landing call of the identification information Pi, which is the target of call registration, to any one of the plurality of car 100s in consideration of the transportation efficiency of the elevator and the like. The details of the call registration process will be described later.

The change reservation device 4 is installed outside the regulation device 101 (specifically, in front of the regulation device 101 in the user's approach direction), and is used for call registration as a target destination floor Ft for each identification information Pi (specifically, in front of the regulation device 101). In the present embodiment, it is possible to reserve a destination floor different from the initial setting floor Fd associated with the identification information Pi) for each management information Pj used in place of the identification information Pi). .. Here, the initial setting floor Fd is a destination floor initially set as a drop-off floor permitted to the user identified by the identification information Pi.

Specifically, the change reservation device 4 includes a reading device 1B that reads the identification information Pi from the recording medium Q, and a display device 5B with an operation function (FIG. 1). In the present embodiment, the display device 5B is a display panel with a touch panel. The display device 5B may have a function of performing a selection operation or the like with a button.

The identification information Pi read by the reading device 1B is transmitted from the change reservation device 4 to the security server 102 together with the device information Pd2 of the change reservation device 4 provided with the reading device 1B. After that, the security server 102 authenticates the received identification information Pi. Then, when the authentication of the identification information Pi is successful, the group management control device 3 enables the change reservation device 4 to make a change reservation (change reservation process). The details of the change reservation process will be described later.

In the present embodiment, the group management control device 3 has a call registration processing unit 31 and a change reservation processing unit 32 (FIG. 1), and the call registration processing and the change reservation processing are executed by these processing units, respectively. It should be noted that these processing units may be configured by hardware by constructing a circuit in the group management control device 3, or may be processing of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a microcomputer, or the like included in the group management control device 3. It may be configured by software by causing the device to execute a program. Then, such a program may be stored in a storage medium (for example, a flash memory or the like) in a readable state, or may be stored in a storage unit (not shown) included in the control system.

Further, in the present embodiment, the security server 102 has the corresponding management data Ds. FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of correspondence management data Ds. In the correspondence management data Ds, the identification information Pi of the recording medium Q includes the initial setting floor Fd that is initially set as the disembarkation floor permitted to the user identified by the identification information Pi, and the initial setting for the same user. The disembarkation permission floor Fe set as the disembarkation floor that can be permitted on a floor other than the floor Fd is associated with. Further, in the correspondence management data Ds, in order to prevent leakage of the identification information Pi, the management information Pj (for example, attached to the IC card) corresponding to the identification information Pi of the recording medium Q on a one-to-one basis. (Something like a serial number) is associated. Then, when the security server 102 transmits information such as the initial setting floor Fd to the outside, the security server 102 uses the management information Pj as a substitute for the identification information Pi.

Regardless of whether the identification information Pi is transmitted from the regulation device 101 or the change reservation device 4, the security server 102 is associated with the identification information Pi when the authentication of the identification information Pi is successful. The information is read from the corresponding management data Ds, and the read information is transmitted to the group management control device 3. Here, the information transmitted to the group management control device 3 includes the management information Pj, the initial setting floor Fd, and the disembarkation permission floor Fe. At this time, the security server 102 also transmits the device information Pd (Pd1 or Pd2) transmitted from the regulation device 101 together with the identification information Pi to the group management control device 3.

After that, when the group management control device 3 receives the information from the security server 102, the group management control device 3 selectively executes either the call registration process or the change reservation process based on the information. The details will be described below.

[2] Control processing executed by the control system FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing the control processing executed by the control system. As shown in FIG. 3, the control process includes a call registration process (step S102 in FIG. 3) and a change reservation process (step S103 in FIG. 3). Then, this control process is started when the group management control device 3 receives information from the security server 102.

When the control process is started, the group management control device 3 selectively executes either the call registration process or the change reservation process based on the device information Pd included in the received information (FIG. 3). Steps S101 to S103). Specifically, the group management control device 3 determines whether the device information Pd is the device information Pd1 of the regulation device 101 or the device information Pd2 of the change reservation device 4 (step S101). Then, when the group management control device 3 determines “device information Pd1” in step S101, the call registration processing unit 31 executes the call registration process (step S102). Further, when the group management control device 3 determines "device information Pd2" in step S101, the change reservation processing unit 32 executes the change reservation process (step S103).

[2-1] Change Reservation Process FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing a change reservation process (step S103). When the change reservation process is started, the change reservation processing unit 32 controls the change reservation device 4 to enable the user to perform the change reservation operation on the change reservation device 4 (validation of the change reservation operation). . Step S11 in FIG. Here, the change reservation operation is an operation (touch operation, button operation, etc.) for reserving a destination floor different from the initial setting floor Fd.

Specifically, the change reservation processing unit 32 transmits the management information Pj and the disembarkation permission floor Fe included in the information received from the security server 102 to the change reservation device 4. At this time, the change reservation processing unit 32 may also transmit the initial setting floor Fd and the like to the change reservation device 4. When the change reservation device 4 receives the information including the management information Pj and the disembarkation permission floor Fe, the change reservation device 4 displays the received disembarkation permission floor Fe on the display device 5B so as to be selectable as the change reservation screen. That is, the change reservation device 4 can select the disembarkation permission floor Fe associated with the management information Pj as a destination floor different from the initial setting floor Fd associated with the management information Pj. Display on. FIG. 5 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the change reservation screen. As a result, in the change reservation device 4, it is possible for the user to select only the disembarkation floor (disembarkation permission floor Fe) that is permitted other than the initial setting floor Fd.

In addition, the management information Pj, the initial setting floor Fd, and the like may be displayed on the change reservation screen together with the disembarkation permission floor Fe (see FIG. 5). As a result, the user can confirm whether or not the displayed change reservation screen is a screen for his / her own change reservation with the displayed management information Pj, or confirm the initial setting floor Fd. can do.

When the user selects any one of the disembarkation permission floor Fe displayed on the change reservation screen after the change reservation screen is displayed on the display device 5B (after step S11), the selected disembarkation permission floor Fe is selected. The reservation information Pr including (that is, another destination floor reserved by the user) is transmitted from the change reservation device 4 to the group management control device 3 together with the management information Pj corresponding to the user. In the present embodiment, when the confirmation button is displayed on the change reservation screen (see FIG. 5) and the confirmation button is pressed with any one of the disembarkation permission floor Fe selected, the reservation information Pr is group-managed. It is transmitted to the control device 3.

Further, in the present embodiment, the cancel button is further displayed on the change reservation screen (see FIG. 5), and when the cancel button is pressed, the cancel signal Sc is controlled by the change reservation device 4 together with the management information Pj. It is transmitted to the device 3.

After step S11, the change reservation processing unit 32 determines whether or not the information including the management information Pj and the reservation information Pr has been received (step S12 in FIG. 4). The group management control device 3 has reservation management data Dt for managing the management information Pj and the reservation information Pr in association with each other. Then, when the change reservation processing unit 32 determines in step S12 that "received (Yes)", the received management information Pj and the reservation information Pr are associated with each other and added to the reservation management data Dt (FIG. 4). Step S13), and then the change reservation process is terminated. Note that FIG. 6 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the reservation management data Dt. That is, when the change reservation processing unit 32 makes a reservation for a destination floor different from the initial setting floor Fd, the change reservation processing unit 32 uses the management information Pj as the identification information Pi and reserves the reservation information Pr including another reserved destination floor. Is managed in association with the management information Pj.

When the change reservation processing unit 32 determines in step S12 that "not received (No)", it determines whether or not the cancellation signal Sc has been received (step S14 in FIG. 4). Then, when the change reservation processing unit 32 determines in step S14 that "received (Yes)", the change reservation processing unit 32 stops displaying the change reservation screen on the display device 5B (invalidation of the change reservation operation. Step in FIG. 4). S15), after that, the change reservation process is terminated. On the other hand, when it is determined in step S14 that "not received (No)", the change reservation processing unit 32 continues in step S12 and until it can determine in step S12 or S14 that "received (Yes)". S14 is repeatedly executed.

The change reservation processing unit 32 measures the time since the execution of step S11 in place of receiving the cancellation signal Sc, or in addition to receiving the cancellation signal Sc, to determine the measurement time. When the time is reached, the display of the change reservation screen on the display device 5B may be stopped (change reservation operation is invalidated) and the change reservation process may be terminated.

According to the above change reservation process, the user selects any one of the disembarkation permission floor Fe displayed on the change reservation screen, and sets the initial setting floor Fd as the target destination floor Ft to be used for call registration. Will be able to book another destination floor. Further, the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another destination floor) reserved by the user is managed in the group management control device 3 as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration in association with the management information Pj of the user. To.

[2-2] Call registration process FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a call registration process (step S102). In the call registration process of the present embodiment, the call registration processing unit 31 uses the management information Pj included in the information received from the security server 102 as the identification information Pi, and performs call registration for the management information Pj.

When the call registration process is started, the call registration processing unit 31 refers to the reservation management data Dt and is subject to the management information Pj (that is, the target of the call registration) included in the information received from the security server 102. It is determined whether or not the management information Pj) is included in the reservation management data Dt (step S21 in FIG. 7). Then, when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S21 that it is “included (Yes)”, the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another destination) associated with the management information Pj in the reservation management data Dt. (Floor) is selected as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration. On the other hand, when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S21 that it is "not included (No)", the initial setting floor Fd (specifically) associated with the management information Pj that is the target of call registration. Selects the initial setting floor Fd) included in the information received from the security server 102 together with the management information Pj) as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration.

That is, in step S21, the call registration processing unit 31 uses the initial setting floor Fd as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration, or the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another destination floor) reserved by the change reservation device 4. ) Is used. Specifically, the call registration processing unit 31 determines whether to use the initial setting floor Fd or the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another destination floor) based on the reservation management data Dt.

Then, when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S21 that it is “included (Yes)”, the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another destination) associated with the management information Pj in the reservation management data Dt. The floor) is used as the target destination floor Ft to perform call registration for the management information Pj (step S22 in FIG. 7), and then step S23, which will be described later, is executed to end the call registration process. On the other hand, when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S21 that it is “not included (No)”, the call registration processing unit 31 uses the initial setting floor Fd associated with the management information Pj as the target destination floor Ft. Call registration is performed for the management information Pj (step S24 in FIG. 7), and then the call registration process is terminated. That is, the call registration processing unit 31 initially sets the reservation information Pr (including the disembarkation permission floor Fe associated with the management information Pj) in the reservation management data Dt in the information transmitted from the security server 102. It is used in preference to the floor Fd.

In the call registration, the call registration processing unit 31 uses the target destination floor Ft and the departure floor (boarding floor) of the user identified by the management information Pj, which is the target of the call registration, as the landing call, and calls the landing. Is assigned to any one of a plurality of car 100s. Here, the departure floor is determined as follows, for example. The group management control device 3 has device management data, and in the device management data, the device information Pd and the installation floor of the device identified by the device information Pd are associated with each other. Then, the call registration processing unit 31 uses the device information Pd included in the information received from the security server 102 together with the management information Pj, and the installation floor associated with the device information Pd (here, here). The installation floor of the regulation device 101) is read from the device management data, and the read installation floor is used as the departure floor. The departure floor is not limited to the case where the call registration processing unit 31 determines based on the device information Pd, the security server 102 determines based on the device information Pd, and the security server 102 is determined together with the management information Pj. You may use the one sent from.

Further, when the call registration processing unit 31 receives the car information (number, symbol, etc.) for identifying the assigned car 100 after the landing call is assigned, and receives the management information Pj corresponding to the landing call. It is displayed on the display device 5A of the regulation device 101 identified by the device information Pd (here, device information Pd1) received together. As a result, the user can recognize the car 100 to be boarded by confirming the car information displayed on the display device 5A when passing through the regulation device 101.

In step S23, the call registration processing unit 31 deletes the management information Pj for which call registration was performed in step S22 and the reservation information Pr associated with the management information Pj from the reservation management data Dt. As a result, the reservation of another destination floor (disembarkation permission floor Fe) by the change reservation device 4 is valid only for the call registration executed when the user first passes through the regulation device 101. That is, a one-time reservation for another destination floor (get-off permission floor Fe) is realized.

According to the control system of the present embodiment, the user sets the destination floor (disembarkation permission floor Fe) different from the initial setting floor Fd as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration before passing through the regulation device 101. The change reservation device 4 can be used for reservation. Then, by letting the group management control device 3 determine whether to use the initial setting floor Fd or another destination floor reserved by the change reservation device 4 as the target destination floor Ft, the destination floor by the user is used. It becomes possible to reflect the change reservation of the above in the call registration executed when the regulation device 101 passes through. Therefore, waste such as two different call registrations for the same user is less likely to occur, and as a result, a user to a destination floor different from the initial setting floor Fd without deteriorating the operation efficiency of the elevator. Can be moved.

Further, in the present embodiment, the information (reservation information Pr including the reserved other destination floor) obtained by reserving another destination floor (disembarkation permission floor Fe) by the change reservation device 4 is the reservation management data. Since it is managed for each management information Pj in Dt, the group management control device 3 only refers to the reservation management data Dt, and is a judgment material for selecting the target destination floor Ft to be used for call registration (that is, reservation). Information Pr) can be obtained. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the control in the group management control device 3 from becoming complicated.

Further, the group management control device 3 uses the management information Pj instead of the identification information Pi to control the change reservation device 4, and also controls the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another destination floor) reserved by the change reservation device 4. to manage. Therefore, the change reservation of the destination floor can be realized without acquiring the identification information Pi from the security server 102 (other system) side.

[3] Modification example [3-1] First modification example In the above control system, the change reservation device 4 reserves a destination floor (disembarkation permission floor Fe) different from the initial setting floor Fd for each management information Pj. In addition to making it possible, it may be possible to set a validity period in which the other destination floor is used as the target destination floor Ft. Here, the setting of the validity period includes the setting of the time zone, the setting of the day of the week, the setting of the date, and the like.

Specifically, when the group management control device 3 (change reservation processing unit 32) executes the change reservation process step S11 (see FIG. 4), the change reservation device 4 displays the change reservation screen on the display device 5B. At the same time, a setting image that enables the user to set the validity period is displayed on the change reservation screen.

FIG. 8 is a conceptual diagram showing a modified example of the change reservation screen displayed on the change reservation device 4. On the change reservation screen of FIG. 8, the following operations (1) to (3) are possible as the setting of the validity period.
(1) Select whether or not to set the time zone and specify the time zone when selecting with the time zone setting (2) Select whether or not to set the day of the week and specify the day of the week when selecting with the day of the week setting (3) Set the date Selection of presence / absence of, and specification of date when selecting with date setting

Then, on the change reservation screen of FIG. 8, by selecting no date setting in the operation (3), the time zone and the day of the week set in the operations (1) and (2) are permanently set as the valid period ( That is, it can be used repeatedly). In addition, in the change reservation device 4, instead of enabling the setting of the valid period, or in addition to enabling the setting of the valid period, another destination floor (disembarkation permission floor Fe) is set as the target destination floor Ft. It may be possible to set the number of valid times to be used as.

In addition, instead of displaying the setting image on the change reservation screen, the change reservation device 4 sets the validity period by the user when any one of the disembarkation permission floor Fe is selected on the change reservation screen. Another screen (setting screen) that enables it may be switched and displayed in a pop-up display.

After that, when the change reservation device 4 makes a reservation for a destination floor (disembarkation permission floor Fe) different from the initial setting floor Fd and sets the validity period, another reserved destination floor (disembarkation permission floor Fe) is set. The reservation information Pr including the floor Fe) and the set validity period is transmitted from the change reservation device 4 to the group management control device 3 together with the management information Pj corresponding to the user. In this modification, a confirmation button is displayed on the change reservation screen (see FIG. 8), and when any one of the disembarkation permission floor Fe is selected and the confirmation button is pressed with the validity period set. The reservation information Pr is transmitted to the group management control device 3.

Then, when the change reservation processing unit 32 determines that “received (Yes)” in step S12 of FIG. 4, the received management information Pj and the reservation information Pr are associated with each other and added to the reservation management data Dt ( Step S13 in FIG. 4). At this time, the change reservation processing unit 32 adds the reservation information Pr to the reservation management data Dt while keeping the reservation information Pr including the valid period.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the call registration process executed in the first modification. When the call registration process is started, the call registration processing unit 31 refers to the reservation management data Dt and is subject to the management information Pj (that is, the target of the call registration) included in the information received from the security server 102. It is determined whether or not the management information Pj) is included in the reservation management data Dt (step S31 in FIG. 9). Then, when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S31 that it is "included (Yes)", the time point (decision time point) at that time is associated with the management information Pj. It is determined whether or not it is within the valid period included in (step S32 of FIG. 9). It should be noted that the above time point to be determined whether or not it is within the valid period is not limited to the time point determined to be "included (Yes)" in step S31, and the user has passed through the regulation device 101. Various time points that can be associated with the time point (for example, a time point when the security server 102 authenticates the identification information Pi, a time point when the group management control device 3 starts the call registration process, and the like) can be used.

When the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S32 that "it is within the valid period (Yes)", the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another destination floor) associated with the management information Pj in the reservation management data Dt ) Is selected as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration. On the other hand, when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S32 that "it is not within the valid period (No)", the initial setting floor Fd (specifically) associated with the management information Pj that is the target of call registration. Selects the initial setting floor Fd) included in the information received from the security server 102 together with the management information Pj) as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration.

That is, in steps S31 and S32, when the management information Pj that is the target of call registration is included in the reservation management data Dt, the call registration processing unit 31 sets the reservation information Pr associated with the management information Pj. Based on the included validity period, the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another destination floor) included in the same reservation information Pr is used as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration, or management that is the target of call registration. It is determined whether to use the initial setting floor Fd associated with the information Pj.

Further, even when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S31 that "it is not included (No)", the initial setting floor Fd associated with the management information Pj which is the target of call registration is set. Select as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration.

Then, when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S32 that "it is within the valid period (Yes)", the disembarkation permission floor Fe (another) associated with the management information Pj in the reservation management data Dt. (Destination floor) is used as the target destination floor Ft, call registration is performed for the management information Pj (step S33 in FIG. 9), and then the call registration process is terminated. On the other hand, when the call registration processing unit 31 determines in step S32 that it is not within the valid period (No), or in step S31 that it is not included (No), the management information Pj is added. Using the associated initial setting floor Fd as the target destination floor Ft, call registration is performed for the management information Pj (step S34 in FIG. 9), and then the call registration process is terminated.

According to the control system of the first modification, once the user sets the validity period in the change reservation device 4, the user does not have to repeatedly make a reservation in the change reservation device 4 after that. According to the period (valid period) intended by the person, another destination floor (the disembarkation permission floor Fe reserved by the change reservation device 4) is set by the group management control device 3 as the target destination floor Ft used for call registration. Be selected. Therefore, the convenience for the user is improved.

[3-2] Second Modification Example In the control system described above, the information on the disembarkation permission floor Fe is not limited to the case where the information of the disembarkation permission floor Fe is transmitted from the group management control device 3 to the change reservation device 4, and the change reservation device 4 itself, for example It may be possessed as common to all identification information Pis.

[3-3] Third Modified Example The security server 102 may have the first correspondence management data Ds1 in which only the management information Pj is associated with the identification information Pi, instead of the correspondence management data Ds described above. .. In this case, the group management control device 3 can have the second correspondence management data Ds2 in which the management information Pj is associated with the initial setting floor Fd and the disembarkation permission floor Fe. That is, all the information required for elevator control can be managed on the elevator control system side, except for the information required only for authentication on the security server 102. In this case, the security server 102 and the group management control device 3 execute the following controls.

When the security server 102 succeeds in authenticating the identification information Pi, the security server 102 transmits only the information including the management information Pj and the device information Pd corresponding to the identification information Pi to the group management control device 3. Then, when the group management control device 3 receives the information, the group management control device 3 reads the initial setting floor Fd and the disembarkation permission floor Fe corresponding to the management information Pj included in the information from the second correspondence management data Ds2. It is used for the control process described above.

[3-4] Other Modified Examples The control system described above is not limited to the one constructed without including the regulation device 101 and the security server 102, but is constructed with at least one of them. May be good. When the security server 102 is included in the control system, the group management control device 3 and the security server 102 may be collectively grasped as one control device.

Further, the control system may be modified so that the group management control device 3 or the regulation device 101 authenticates the identification information Pi without providing the security server 102. In this case, the elevator may be controlled by the identification information Pi without using the management information Pj.

Further, the control system described above can also be applied to an elevator equipped with only one car 100. In this case, the group management control device 3 does not have to be provided, and the call registration process and the change reservation process are executed by the elevator control device 2.

The description of the embodiments described above should be considered exemplary in all respects and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is indicated by the claims rather than the embodiments described above. Furthermore, the scope of the present invention is intended to include all modifications within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims.
