[Embodiment 1]
Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

(Elevator 100 configuration)
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of a main part configuration of an elevator 100 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the elevator 100 according to the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 1, the elevator 100 includes a control device 1 and a car 2.

<Configuration of control device 1>
The control device 1 is a computer that controls the overall operation control of the elevator 100, and includes a CPU 11 and a memory 12.

The CPU 11 reads and executes various control programs and the like for controlling the operation of the elevator from the memory 12. As a result, the control device 1 realizes smooth operation of the elevator 100. The function of the control device 1 will be described later.

The memory 12 stores, for example, various control programs for controlling the movement of the car 2 and controlling the opening / closing of the door (not shown) of the car 2. The movement control of the car 2 may include, for example, a control of moving the car 2 to the floor where the landing call is made, a control of moving the car 2 to the floor registered as the destination floor, and the like.

<Structure of basket 2>
The car 2 is a car that passes through a hoistway provided in a building and moves between a plurality of floors of the building. The car 2 includes a car operation panel 20 and a car information acquisition unit 24. The in-car operation panel 20 includes a non-contact operation detection unit 22 and a notification unit 21.

In the car 2, an in-car operation panel 20 for accepting registration of the destination floor of the user is installed. FIG. 1 shows a form in which there is one operation panel in the car, but the number of operation panels in the car is not limited and may be two or more. Further, at least one of the plurality of operation panels in the car may be a wheelchair operation panel.

The in-car operation panel 20 includes at least one non-contact operation detection unit 22. The operation panel 20 in the car may include two or more non-contact operation detection units 22. That is, the operation panel 20 in the car may include a non-contact operation detection unit 22 for accepting registration of the destination floor according to the number of floors of the building in which the elevator is installed. Further, the operation panel 20 in the car may be provided with a floor display unit (not shown) for allowing the user to visually recognize characters or numbers representing the floor of the building. In one example, one floor display unit may be associated with one non-contact operation detection unit 22. The in-car operation panel 20 may be installed on a sleeve wall near the door of the car 2, a side wall of the car 2, or the like.

The non-contact operation detection unit 22 is a sensor capable of detecting a non-contact operation for registering the destination floor of the car 2. In one example, the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is, for example, a reflection type photoelectric sensor in which a floodlight and a light receiver are integrated. In the non-contact operation detection unit 22, the floodlight irradiates light such as infrared rays, and the light receiver receives the reflected light from the irradiated object. The non-contact operation detection unit 22 detects the presence or absence of a nearby object based on the amount of light received by the light receiver. Here, the object may be, for example, the hand of a user who performs an operation for registering the destination floor.

The non-contact operation detection unit 22 can adjust the detection distance of the non-contact operation detection unit 22 by adjusting the amount of light received on the receiver side of the reflective photoelectric sensor. As an example, the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is set to detect a user's hand or the like approaching within 5 cm from the operation panel 20 in the car. When the non-contact operation detection unit 22 detects the user's hand or the like, the non-contact operation detection unit 22 transmits a detection signal to the effect that the operation has been detected to the control device 1.

The non-contact operation detection unit 22 may be configured to continue transmitting the detection signal during the period during which the operation is detected. In this case, the non-contact operation detection unit 22 may transmit the detection signal at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second). If this configuration is adopted, the control device 1 specifies the timing at which the operation is detected and the timing at which the operation is no longer detected for each non-contact operation detection unit 22 based on the detection signal from the non-contact operation detection unit 22. can do.

The car information acquisition unit 24 acquires car information, which is at least one of the load weight of the car 2 and the image in the car 2. The car information acquisition unit 24 may be, for example, a load cell, a camera, or the like. The car 2 may include a plurality of car information acquisition units 24. Further, one car information acquisition unit 24 may acquire a plurality of different types of car information.

The load weight of the car 2 may be acquired as a numerical value by, for example, a load cell which is a car information acquisition unit 24. The image in the car 2 may be acquired by, for example, a camera which is a car information acquisition unit 24. The image in the car 2 may be a still image or a moving image. The car information acquired by the car information acquisition unit 24 is output to the car internal condition determination unit 115, which will be described later.

The notification unit 21 notifies the user of information indicating whether or not the non-contact operation detection unit 22 can accept the non-contact operation. The notification unit 21 may be, for example, a speaker that emits voice guidance, a display device such as a display, or lighting such as an LED. With such a configuration, it is possible to notify the user whether or not the destination floor can be registered by the non-contact operation of the non-contact operation detection unit 22.

FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing an example of the notification unit 21. In FIG. 3, the notification unit 21 is a display arranged on the upper part of the operation panel 20 in the car. For example, when the non-contact operation detection unit 22 in the in-car operation panel 20 can accept the non-contact operation, the notification unit 21 displays a mark that the non-contact operation can be accepted. Further, when the notification unit 21 is a display, for example, the display may be made to display characters such as "Currently, a non-contact sensor can be used".

If the notification unit 21 is a speaker, when the user boarded the elevator, voice guidance such as "Currently, the non-contact sensor can be used" or "Currently, the non-contact sensor cannot be used" is given. You may. Whether or not the user has boarded the elevator may be determined, for example, by the information acquired from the car information acquisition unit 24 described above.

Further, when the notification unit 21 is a lighting, the user is notified of information indicating whether or not the non-contact operation can be accepted by turning the lighting on / off or changing the color of the lighting. May be good.

One notification unit 21 may be provided in the operation panel 20 in the car, or a plurality of different types of notification units 21 may be provided.

(Function of control device 1)
Next, the function of the control device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the elevator 100 shown in FIG. For convenience of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to the members having the same functions as the members described with reference to FIG. 1, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

The control device 1 includes a control unit 110 and a storage unit 120. The control unit 110 corresponds to the CPU 11 of FIG. 1, and the storage unit 120 corresponds to the memory 12 of FIG.

The storage unit 120 stores the period setting information 121 and the destination floor registration information 122. The period setting information 121 is information regarding a rule for the period setting unit 113, which will be described later, to set a period. The rule for setting the period is, for example, a rule for determining when to set the period based on the operating condition of the elevator. The destination floor registration information 122 is information indicating the destination floor registered by the destination floor registration unit 116, which will be described later.

The control unit 110 includes a detection signal acquisition unit 111, an operation control unit 112, a period setting unit 113, a notification control unit 114, a car internal status determination unit 115, and a destination floor registration unit 116.

The detection signal acquisition unit 111 acquires the detection signal from the non-contact operation detection unit 22. Further, the detection signal acquisition unit 111 identifies the floor corresponding to the non-contact operation detection unit 22 which is the transmission source of the detection signal for each detection signal.

The operation control unit 112 controls the operation of the elevator. The operation control unit 112 controls, for example, to move the car 2 to the floor where the landing call is made, to move the car 2 to the floor registered as the destination floor, to control the opening / closing of the car door, and the like.

The period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 of the operation panel in the car is not accepted. Normally, when the non-contact operation detection unit 22 detects a non-contact operation, the floor specified by the detection signal acquisition unit 111 is registered as a call registration. By setting a period during which the period setting unit 113 does not accept the non-contact operation, even if the non-contact operation detection unit 22 detects the non-contact operation and the detection signal acquisition unit 111 acquires the signal, the destination No signal is output to the destination floor registration unit 116 for registering the floor. That is, during the period during which the non-contact operation set by the period setting unit 113 is not accepted, the user cannot register the destination floor by the non-contact operation. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce erroneous detection due to non-contact operation in the car 2.

The period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 mounted on at least one of the in-car operation panels in the car 2 is not accepted. May be good. For example, a period may be set in which only the non-contact operation detected from the operation panel installed at a position where an erroneous operation is likely to be performed is not accepted among the plurality of operation panels in the car in the car 2. With such a configuration, it is possible to reduce erroneous detection due to non-contact operation in the car 2.

Further, the period setting unit 113 may set a period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 of the wheelchair operation panel is not accepted among the plurality of in-car operation panels in the car 2. .. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a state in which a plurality of operation panels in the car are installed. In FIG. 7, the in-car operation panel 20b is a general-purpose in-car operation panel installed on the sleeve wall in the car 2, and includes a non-contact operation detection unit 22b. The in-car operation panel 20c is an in-car operation panel for wheelchairs installed on the side wall in the car 2, and includes a non-contact operation detection unit 22c. Since the wheelchair car inner operation panel 20c is installed on the side wall of the car 2 and is installed at a position lower than the general car inner operation panel 20b, the user unintentionally operates the non-contact operation. There is a high possibility that it will be done. Therefore, the period setting unit 113 is configured to set a period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22c of the wheelchair car in-car operation panel 20c is not accepted, so that the wheelchair car in-car operation panel 20c is used. It is possible to prevent erroneous operation.

The case where the period setting unit 113 sets the period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted will be described in detail later.

The period during which the non-contact operation set by the period setting unit 113 is not accepted may be set for each operation panel, and all of the plurality of non-contact operation detection units 22 included in one operation panel may be set for each operation panel. The non-contact operation may not be accepted for the period set in. Further, during the period in which the non-contact operation set by the period setting unit 113 is not accepted, the non-contact operation corresponding to the floor ahead in the traveling direction of the car 2 that is driving toward the registered predetermined destination floor is also performed. Not accepted. Further, even during the period in which the non-contact operation set by the period setting unit 113 is not accepted, the destination floor corresponding to the floor opposite to the traveling direction of the car 2 is registered by the contact operation such as pressing a button. You may.

Returning to FIG. 2, the notification control unit 114 controls the notification unit 21 so that the non-contact operation detection unit 22 notifies information indicating whether or not the non-contact operation can be accepted. For example, when the period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 of the in-car operation panel 20 is not accepted, the notification control unit 114 has the non-contact operation detection unit 22 in the non-contact operation detection unit 22. Notify the notification unit 21 that the operation cannot be accepted.

The in-car situation determination unit 115 determines the situation in the car 2. The car internal condition determination unit 115 is at least one of the degree of congestion in the car 2 and the state of the user indicating whether or not the user in the car 2 is operating the operation panel based on the car information. Judge one. For example, in the car internal condition determination unit 115, the current load (current load weight of the car 2) acquired from the car information acquisition unit 24 with respect to the load corresponding to the capacity of the car 2 (maximum load weight of the car 2). The proportion may be determined as "congestion degree". Further, the car internal condition determination unit 115 may determine whether or not the ratio of the current load weight of the car 2 to the maximum load weight of the car 2 is higher than a predetermined threshold value as the “congestion degree”. The predetermined threshold value is not particularly limited, but may be predetermined, for example, 60% or more, 70% or more, 80% or more. The car internal condition determination unit 115 may determine the ratio of the user to the space in the car as the "congestion degree" from the image acquired from the car information acquisition unit 24.

The car internal condition determination unit 115 may determine the state of the user indicating whether or not the user in the car is operating the operation panel from the image acquired from the car information acquisition unit 24. For example, in the car interior condition determination unit 115, the direction of the user's fingertip close to the non-contact operation detection unit 22 and the direction in which the user's face is facing, or the direction of the user's line of sight are the same. It may be determined whether or not the user is operating the operation panel in the car depending on whether or not the vehicle is present. The car internal condition determination unit 115 may detect the standing position of the user and determine whether or not the user intends to operate the in-car operation panel. In this case, for example, the car internal condition determination unit 115 measures the distance between the user and the in-car operation panel based on the image acquired from the car information acquisition unit 24, and the user is based on the distance. It may be determined whether or not the operation panel in the car is being operated.

The destination floor registration unit 116 registers the floor on which the user has performed a car call operation. The car call operation is an operation in which the user selects a destination floor in the car. While the period setting unit 113 sets the period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted, the signal from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 is output to the destination floor registration unit 116. Not done. The destination floor registration unit 116 may register the determined destination floor in the destination floor registration information 122 of the storage unit 120. The destination floor registration unit 116 may register the destination floor immediately after receiving the non-contact operation, or may register the destination floor after continuously receiving the non-contact operation for a predetermined time (for example, 0.3 seconds). good.

(Period setting of period setting unit 113)
In the following cases (1) and (2), the period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted. The processing performed by the period setting unit 113 in the following cases (1) and (2) may be stored in the period setting information 121 of the storage unit 120 in advance.

Further, the processes (1) and (2) performed by the period setting unit 113 may be set to be always applied, or may be set to be automatically applied according to the time, day, time zone, and the like. You may. The elevator management company or the like may manually set it according to the time, day, time zone, and the like. If there are multiple elevator cars in the building, it may be applied to each car.

(1) When the car is running or the car door is closed The period setting unit 113 performs a non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 when the car is running or the car door is closed. You may set a period during which you do not accept. The operation information of the car 2 indicating whether the car is running or the door of the car is closed may be acquired from the operation control unit 112. Further, when the car information acquisition unit 24 is a camera, the operation information of the car 2 indicating whether or not the car door is closed is based on the image acquired from the car information acquisition unit 24, and the status inside the car. The determination unit 115 may be configured to determine.

The period setting unit 113 may acquire the operation information of the car 2 from the operation control unit 112, for example, at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second). Then, the period setting unit 113 determines to set a period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted when the information that the car 2 is running or the door of the car 2 is closed is acquired. May be good. The period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted when the information that the door of the car 2 is closed, which is determined based on the image acquired from the car information acquisition unit 24, is acquired. You may decide to do so. Further, the period may be started at the same time when the setting of the period is decided.

The period setting unit 113 may set a period during which the car is running or a period during which the car door is closed as a period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted. Generally, the destination floor of an elevator is registered during the period when the user gets on and off, the car is stopped, or the car door is open, and the car is running or the car is registered. During the period when the door is closed, it is relatively unlikely that the destination floor of the elevator will be registered. Therefore, by setting the period during which the car is running or the period when the car door is closed as the period during which non-contact operation is not accepted, an erroneous operation during the period when the car is running or the door is closed is erroneously operated. It is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to.

The period setting unit 113 may acquire information on the operation of the car 2 from the operation control unit 112, for example, at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second). Then, the period setting unit 113 may determine the end of the set period when the information that the car 2 is stopped or the door of the car is in the open state is acquired. The period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted when the information that the door of the car 2 is closed, which is determined based on the image acquired from the car information acquisition unit 24, is acquired. You may decide to do so. In addition, the period may end at the same time as the end of the period is decided.

(2) According to the car information acquired by the car information acquisition unit 24, the period setting unit 113 has at least one of the load weight of the car 2 and the image in the car 2 acquired by the car information acquisition unit 24. Depending on the car information, a period during which non-contact operations are not accepted may be set.

With such a configuration, it is possible to flexibly prevent erroneous detection due to non-contact operation according to the car information as well as the running stop state of the car 2 or the open / closed state of the door.

The car information acquired by the car information acquisition unit 24 may be determined by the car internal condition determination unit 115. For example, the period setting unit 113 acquires the determination result from the car internal condition determination unit 115 at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second), and in (2-1) or (2-2) described later. It may be decided to set a period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted when the result determined to be present is acquired. Further, the period may be started at the same time when the setting of the period is decided. The case where the car internal condition determination unit 115 determines is described below.

(2-1) When the in-car condition determination unit 115 determines that the inside of the car is congested The in-car condition determination unit 115 determines the degree of congestion in the car 2 based on the car information. When the car internal condition determination unit 115 determines that the inside of the car 2 is congested, the period setting unit 113 may set a period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted. .. The timing at which the in-car condition determination unit 115 determines the degree of congestion in the car 2 is not particularly limited. For example, in the in-car condition determination unit 115, every time the car 2 starts running, or the door of the car 2 is closed. The degree of congestion may be determined at each time when the state is reached.

When the inside of the car is crowded, unintended non-contact operations are likely to occur depending on the user's body and luggage. Therefore, by setting a period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted when it is determined that the inside of the car 2 is congested, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to an erroneous operation which is an unintended non-contact operation by the user.

The length of the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted is not particularly limited, but for example, from the time when the car internal condition determination unit 115 determines that the inside of the car 2 is congested, it is determined that the inside of the car 2 is not congested. It may be until the time when it is done. The period setting unit 113 acquires, for example, a determination result from the car internal condition determination unit 115 at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second), and when the determination result that the inside of the car 2 is not congested is acquired. May decide the end of the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted. Further, the degree of congestion in the car 2 changes when the user gets on and off, that is, when the car 2 is stopped or when the door of the car 2 is in the open state. Therefore, the period setting unit 113 may acquire the determination result of the degree of congestion at each time when the car 2 starts moving to the destination floor or at each time when the door of the car 2 is closed. In addition, the period may end at the same time as the end of the period is decided.

Further, the length of the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted is, for example, a predetermined first predetermined time elapses from the time when the car internal condition determination unit 115 determines that the inside of the car 2 is congested. It may be up to. The predetermined first predetermined time may be, for example, a time of several seconds to several minutes.

(2-2) When the in-car condition determination unit 115 determines that the user is not operating the in-car operation panel The in-car condition determination unit 115 is used by the user in the car 2 based on the car information. The state of the user indicating whether or not the operation panel 20 in the car is being operated is determined. When the in-car condition determination unit 115 determines that the user is not operating the in-car operation panel 20, the period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted. It may be set.

In many cases, non-contact operations not intended by the user himself are detected by the user's body and luggage. Therefore, when it is determined that the user is not consciously operating the operation panel 20 in the car, a period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted is set, which is an erroneous operation that is an unintended non-contact operation by the user. It is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to.

The length of the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted is not particularly limited, but for example, from the time when the in-car condition determination unit 115 determines that the user is not operating the in-car operation panel 20, the user is in the car. It may be up to the time when it is determined that the operation panel 20 is being operated. The period setting unit 113 acquires a determination result from the car internal condition determination unit 115 at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second), and determines that the user is not operating the in-car operation panel 20. The time when the result is obtained may determine the end of the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted. In addition, the period may end at the same time as the end of the period is decided.

Further, the length of the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted is determined in advance from the time when, for example, the in-car condition determination unit 115 determines that the user is operating the in-car operation panel 20. It may be until the predetermined time elapses. The predetermined second predetermined time may be, for example, a few seconds to a few minutes.

[Processing performed by the elevator 100]
Hereinafter, the processing in the case of (1) described above performed by the elevator 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the elevator 100.

First, the control unit 110 (period setting unit 113) acquires information from the operation control unit 112 whether the door of the car 2 is closed or the car 2 is running (step S1). If the door is open or the car 2 is stopped (NO in step S1), step S1 is repeated. If the door is closed or the car 2 is running (YES in step S1), the process proceeds to step S2.

Next, the control unit 110 (period setting unit 113) sets a period during which the non-contact operation of the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted (step S2: period setting step), and proceeds to step S3.

The control unit 110 (period setting unit 113) acquires information from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 whether or not a non-contact operation for registering the destination floor of the car 2 has been detected (step S3: detection step). If the non-contact operation is not detected (NO in step S3), step S3 is repeated. If a non-contact operation is detected (YES in step S3), the process proceeds to step S4.

The control unit 110 determines whether or not it is within the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted. If it is within the period in which the non-contact operation is not accepted (YES in step S4), the process returns to step S3. If it is not within the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted, the process proceeds to step S5.

The control unit 110 receives the non-contact operation acquired from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 (step S5), and returns to step S1.

According to the above configuration, the elevator 100 does not accept the non-contact operation when the door of the car 2 is closed or the car 2 is running. As a result, the elevator 100 can prevent erroneous detection due to non-contact operation in the car 2 when the door of the car 2 is closed or the car 2 is running.

The landing non-contact operation detection unit 32 is a sensor capable of detecting a non-contact landing calling operation for calling the car 2. The mechanism by which the landing non-contact operation detection unit 32 detects the non-contact operation is the same as that of the non-contact operation detection unit 22 in the car.

The landing contact operation detection unit 33 detects a landing calling operation by contact for calling the car 2. The landing contact operation detection unit 33 is, for example, a button. When the button is pressed by the user, the landing contact operation detection unit 33 detects the contact operation.

The landing operation panel 30 is not limited to one, and a plurality of landing operation panels 30 may be provided. For example, a landing operation panel for general use and a landing operation panel for wheelchairs may be provided.

(Elevator 100 configuration)
As shown in FIG. 5, the elevator 100 includes a control device 1 and a car 2.

<Configuration of control device 1>
The control device 1 includes a CPU 11 and a memory 12 as in the control device 1 described in the first embodiment.

<Structure of basket 2>
The car 2 includes a car operation panel 20 and a car information acquisition unit 24. The in-car operation panel 20 is the same as the in-car operation panel 20 of the first embodiment in that it includes a non-contact operation detection unit 22 and a notification unit 21, but the car 2 of the present embodiment has a contact operation detection unit 23. Further prepare.

The contact operation detection unit 23 detects a contact operation for registering the destination floor of the car 2. The contact operation detection unit 23 is, for example, a button. When the button is pressed by the user, the contact operation detection unit 23 detects the contact operation.

(Function of control device 1)
Next, the function of the control device 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the elevator 100 shown in FIG. For convenience of explanation, the same reference numerals are given to the members having the same functions as the members described with reference to FIG. 5, and the description thereof will not be repeated.

The control device 1 includes a control unit 110 and a storage unit 120. The control unit 110 corresponds to the CPU 11 of FIG. 5, and the storage unit 120 corresponds to the memory 12 of FIG.

Similar to the control unit 110 of the first embodiment, the control unit 110 includes a detection signal acquisition unit 111, an operation control unit 112, a period setting unit 113, a notification control unit 114, a car interior status determination unit 115, and a destination floor registration unit 116. I have.

The detection signal acquisition unit 111 is from the non-contact operation detection unit 22 of the in-car operation panel 20, the contact operation detection unit 23, the landing non-contact operation detection unit 32 of the landing operation panel 30, and the landing contact operation detection unit 33. Acquire the detection signal. The detection signal acquisition unit 111 may specify which of the acquired detection signals is the detection signal. Further, although not shown in FIG. 6, it may be specified whether the signal is from a detection unit for general use or a signal from a detection unit for wheelchairs.

(Change of period of period setting unit 113)
In the following cases (3) to (8), the period setting unit 113 may change the period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted. Changing the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted means, for example, shortening or extending the length of the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted. In addition to changing the length of the period, or without changing the length of the period, the start time of the period in which the non-contact operation is not accepted may be changed.

The processing performed by the period setting unit 113 in the following cases (3) to (8) may be stored in the period setting information 121 of the storage unit 120 in advance. Further, the processes (3) to (8) performed by the period setting unit 113 may be set to be always applied, or may be set to be automatically applied according to the time, day, time zone, and the like. You may. The elevator management company or the like may manually set it according to the time, day, time zone, and the like. If there are multiple elevator cars in the building, it may be applied to each car.

(3) When the non-contact operation is detected when the car door is closed, and the non-contact operation detection state continues even when the door is changed from the closed state to the open state. Period setting unit 113 Detects non-contact operation when the non-contact operation is detected when the door of the car 2 is closed and the detection state of non-contact operation continues even when the door is changed from the closed state to the open state. The period during which the non-contact operation detected by the unit 22 is not accepted may be changed. Changing the period during which non-contact operations are not accepted is, for example, extending the period during which non-contact operations are not accepted.

The period setting unit 113 acquires, for example, information on the detection state of the non-contact operation from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 and information on opening / closing the door from the operation control unit 112 at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second). You may. Then, the period setting unit 113 may decide to change the length of the period when the non-contact operation is detected and the information that the door is not closed is acquired.

This will be specifically described with reference to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 shows the inside of the car 2. An in-car operation panel 20b and an in-car operation panel 20c are installed in the car 2, and each in-car operation panel includes non-contact operation detection units 22b and 22c for registering destination floors, respectively.

While the door of the car 2 is closed, the period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation by the non-contact operation detection unit 22b and the non-contact operation detection unit 22c is not accepted. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7, even if the user leans in front of the operation panel 20c in the car and the non-contact operation detection unit 22c detects the non-contact operation by the user's body, the non-contact operation is accepted. Will not be done.

However, when the door of the car 2 is changed from the closed state to the open state, the period in which the non-contact operation set by the period setting unit 113 is not accepted ends, so that the non-contact operation by the non-contact operation detection unit 22c is accepted. Will be. When the user remains leaning against the operation panel 20c in the car even when the door of the car 2 is opened, and the non-contact operation detection unit 22c continues to detect the non-contact operation by the user's body. , The non-contact operation may be accepted. Therefore, if the non-contact operation is detected when the door of the car 2 is closed, and the non-contact operation is still detected even when the door of the car 2 is changed from the closed state to the open state, the non-contact operation is detected. The period setting unit 113 extends, for example, a period during which a non-contact operation is not accepted.

With the above configuration, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to a non-contact operation unintentional by the user, which may be detected when the car door is changed from the closed state to the open state.

The operation panel in the car that does not accept the non-contact operation may be only the operation panel 20c in the car that continues to detect the non-contact operation when the door of the car 2 changes from the closed state to the open state. The operation panel in all the cars may be used.

The length of the extended period may be, for example, the period up to the point at which the continuous non-contact operation is no longer detected when the car door is open. The period setting unit 113 acquires, for example, the detection state of the non-contact operation from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 and the door opening / closing information from the operation control unit 112 at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second). May be good. Then, the period setting unit 113 may determine the time when the information that the non-contact operation is not detected and the door is not closed is acquired as the end time of the period.

(4) When the non-contact operation is detected while the car is running and the non-contact operation detection state continues even when the car is stopped, the period setting unit 113 is not in contact with the car while the car is running. If the operation is detected and the non-contact operation detection state continues even when the car is stopped, even if the period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted is changed. good.

When the non-contact operation is detected by the user's body, luggage, etc., the period during which the car is running is set to a period during which the period setting unit 113 does not accept the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22. Therefore, non-contact operation is not detected. However, if the non-contact operation by the user's body, luggage, or the like continues even when the car is stopped, the operation of the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is accepted, so that there is a risk of erroneous detection. Therefore, if the non-contact operation detection state continues from the running of the car to the stop of the car, the period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 may not be accepted may be extended. This makes it possible to prevent erroneous detection due to erroneous operation, which is a non-contact operation not intended by the user.

The length of the extended period may be, for example, the period up to the point at which the continuous non-contact operation is no longer detected while the car is running and when the car is stopped.

With the above configuration, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to a non-contact operation unintentional by the user, which may be detected while the car is running or stopped.

The operation panel in the car that does not accept the non-contact operation may be only the operation panel 20c in the car that continues to detect the non-contact operation when the car 2 is stopped from running, and is in all the cars in the car 2. It may be an operation panel.

The length of the extended period may be, for example, the period up to the point at which the continuous non-contact operation is no longer detected when the car 2 is stopped. The period setting unit 113 acquires, for example, information on the detection state of the non-contact operation from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 and the operation information of the car 2 from the operation control unit 112 at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second). You may. Then, the period setting unit 113 may determine the time point at which the non-contact operation is not detected and the information that the car 2 is stopped is acquired as the end time point of the period.

[Processing performed by the elevator 100 (in the case of (3) and (4))]
Hereinafter, the processing in the above cases (3) and (4) performed by the elevator 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the elevator 100.

First, the period setting unit 113 acquires information from the operation control unit 112 whether the door of the car 2 is in the closed state or the car 2 is running (step S11). If the door is open or the car 2 is stopped (NO in step S11), step 11 is repeated. If the door of the car 2 is closed or the car 2 is running (YES in step S11), the process proceeds to step S12.

The period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation of the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted (step S12: period setting step), and proceeds to step S13.

Next, the period setting unit 113 acquires information from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 as to whether or not a non-contact operation for registering the destination floor of the car 2 has been detected (step S13: detection step). If the non-contact operation is not detected (NO in step S13), step S13 is repeated, and if the non-contact operation is detected (YES in step S13), the process proceeds to step S14.

The period setting unit 113 acquires information from the operation control unit 112 whether the door of the car 2 is in the closed state or the car 2 is running (step S14). If the door is open or the car 2 is stopped (NO in step S14), the process proceeds to step S15. If the door of the car 2 is closed or the car 2 is running (YES in step S14), the process returns to step S13.

Subsequently, the period setting unit 113 acquires information from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 as to whether or not the detection state of the non-contact operation in step S13 continues (step S15). If the non-contact operation detection state continues (YES in step S15), the process proceeds to step S16, and if the non-contact operation detection state does not continue (NO in step S15), the process returns to step S11.

The period setting unit 113 changes the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted (step S16). After that, the process returns to step S15.

In this process, the period setting unit 113 sets the start of the period in which the non-contact operation is not accepted according to S11, and sets the end of the period in which the non-contact operation is not accepted according to S15.

(5) When the landing call operation is performed on the wheelchair landing operation panel The period setting unit 113 arrives at the floor corresponding to the landing call operation when the landing call operation is performed on the wheelchair landing operation panel. In the wheelchair operation panel of the car 2, the period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted may be changed.

FIG. 9 shows the landing operation panel 30. The landing operation panel 30 is provided with a landing operation panel 30a for general use and a landing operation panel 30b for wheelchairs at a position lower than the landing operation panel 30a for general use, and each operation panel has landing contact operation detection units 33a and 33b. , And the landing non-contact operation detection units 32a and 32b.

Further, FIG. 10 shows the car 2. The car 2 includes operation panels 20b and 20c in the car. Of the operation panels in the car, 20c is an operation panel in the car for wheelchairs. Further, each in-car operation panel includes non-contact operation detection units 22b and 22c, respectively. If the wheelchair landing operation panel 30b is used for the wheelchair call operation, it is highly possible that the wheelchair user has performed the wheelchair call operation, and the user is also in the car 2 with the wheelchair car operation panel. There is a high possibility of operating 20c. Therefore, the period setting unit 113 may change the period during which the non-contact operation of the wheelchair-accessible operation panel 20c in the car 2 that has arrived at the floor where the landing call operation is performed is not accepted. In this case, regardless of whether it is the landing contact operation detection unit 33b or the landing non-contact operation detection unit 32b, if the wheelchair detection unit is operated, the period setting unit 113 will be used for the wheelchair in the car 2. The period during which the non-contact operation of the operation panel 20c in the car is not accepted may be changed.

For example, the period setting unit 113 may change the start time of the period in which the non-contact operation is not accepted. Specifically, the period setting unit 113 may acquire information indicating that the landing call operation has been performed from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second). Then, the period setting unit 113 may decide to change the start time of the period when the information indicating that the landing call operation has been performed is acquired on the wheelchair landing operation panel 30b.

The period setting unit 113 did not set a period during which the non-contact operation was not accepted until it arrived at the floor corresponding to the wheelchair control panel operated in the car 2, and arrived at the corresponding floor. It may be changed to set the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted from the time point. Specifically, the start time of the period is registered by the wheelchair-accessible in-car operation panel from the time when the car 2 arrives at the floor where the landing call is operated by the wheelchair-use landing operation panel 30b and the car 2 stops. It may be changed by the time the car 2 arrives at the destination floor and the car 2 starts running.

With the above configuration, when the landing call operation is performed on the wheelchair-use landing operation panel 30b, the non-contact operation by the wheelchair-in-car operation panel 20c can be accepted. That is, even when the car door is closed or the car is running, the wheelchair user can register the destination floor by non-contact operation. Further, when the possibility of using the operation panel in the car for a wheelchair is low, it is possible to prevent erroneous detection due to the movement of passengers when getting on and off.

(6) When a call operation is performed by the landing non-contact operation detection unit of the landing operation panel The period setting unit 113 detects the non-contact operation when the call operation is performed by the landing non-contact operation detection unit 32 of the landing operation panel. The period during which the non-contact operation detected by the unit 22 is not accepted may be changed.

When the landing call operation is performed by the landing non-contact operation detection unit 32 of the landing operation panel 30, the user who has performed the landing call operation can operate the non-contact operation detection units 22b and 22c even in the car 2. High in sex. Therefore, the non-contact operation detection units 22b and 22c in the car 2 arriving at the floor where the landing call operation is performed may change the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted.

For example, the period setting unit 113 may change the start time of the period in which the non-contact operation is not accepted. Specifically, the period setting unit 113 may acquire information indicating that the landing call operation has been performed from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 at regular time intervals (for example, 10 times per second). Then, the period setting unit 113 may decide to change the start time of the period when the information that the landing call operation has been performed is acquired by the landing non-contact operation detection unit 32.

The period setting unit 113 did not set a period during which the non-contact operation was not accepted until it arrived at the floor corresponding to the non-contact operation detection operated in the car 2, and arrived at the corresponding floor. It may be changed to set the period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted from the time point. Specifically, the start time of the period is registered by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 from the time when the car 2 arrives at the floor where the landing call is operated by the landing non-contact operation detection unit 32 and the car 2 stops. It may be changed by the time the car 2 arrives at the destination floor and the car 2 starts running.

When the landing call operation is performed by the landing non-contact operation detection unit 32 according to the above configuration, the non-contact operation by the in-car operation panel 20 can be accepted. That is, even when the car door is closed or the car is running, a user who wants to actively perform a non-contact operation can register the destination floor by the non-contact operation.

[Processing performed by the elevator 100 (in the case of (5) and (6))]
Hereinafter, the processing in the above cases (5) and (6) performed by the elevator 100 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of processing executed by the elevator 100.

First, the period setting unit 113 acquires information from the operation control unit 112 whether the door of the car 2 is in the closed state or the car 2 is running (step S21). If the door is open or the car 2 is stopped (NO in step S21), step S21 is repeated. If the door is closed, or if the car 2 is running (YES in step S21), the process proceeds to step S22.

The period setting unit 113 sets a period during which the non-contact operation of the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted (step S22: period setting step), and proceeds to step S23.

The period setting unit 113 acquires information indicating that a predetermined landing call operation has been detected by the landing operation panel 30 from the detection signal acquisition unit 111 (step S23). The predetermined landing call operation is, for example, in the case of (5) above, the landing call operation by the wheelchair landing operation panel 30b in FIG. 9, or in the case of (6) above, the landing non-contact in FIG. This is a landing call operation by the operation detection units 32a and 32b.

If the predetermined landing call operation is detected (YES in step S23), the process proceeds to step S24, and if the predetermined landing call operation is not detected (NO in step S23), step S23 is repeated.

Subsequently, the period setting unit 113 acquires information on whether or not the car 2 has arrived at the floor corresponding to the predetermined landing call operation from the operation control unit 112 (step S24). The floor corresponding to the predetermined landing call operation is the floor on which the landing call operation is detected in step S23. For example, when the landing call operation by the landing operation panel installed on the third floor of the building is detected, the period setting unit 113 acquires information on whether or not the car 2 has arrived on the third floor.

If the car 2 arrives at the floor corresponding to the predetermined landing call operation (YES in step S24), the process proceeds to step S25, and if the car 2 has not arrived (NO in step S24), step S24 is repeated. ..

Subsequently, the period setting unit 113 changes the period during which the non-contact operation by the operation panel in the car corresponding to the landing call operation is not accepted (step S25). Here, the non-contact operation by the in-car operation panel corresponding to the landing call operation is, for example, in the case of (5) above, the non-contact operation detection unit 22c installed in the in-car operation panel 20c in FIG. It is a car calling operation by non-contact operation. Further, the non-contact operation by the in-car operation panel corresponding to the landing call operation is, for example, in the case of (6) above, the non-contact operation detection unit 22b installed in the in-car operation panels 20b and 20c in FIG. , 22c is a car calling operation by a non-contact operation.

The period setting unit 113 acquires information on whether or not the car 2 has arrived at the floor corresponding to the car calling operation from the operation control unit 112 (step S26). Here, the floor corresponding to the car calling operation is the floor on which the destination floor is registered by the car calling operation in the car 2 in step S23. For example, in the case of (5) above, it is the destination floor registered by the non-contact operation by the non-contact operation detection unit 22c in FIG. 10, and in the case of (6) above, it is the non-contact operation in FIG. It is a destination floor registered by a non-contact operation by the detection units 22b and 22c.

When the car arrives at the floor corresponding to the car calling operation (YES in step S26), the process returns to step S21, and when the car does not arrive at the floor corresponding to the car calling operation (NO in step S26). , Step S26 is repeated.

(7) When the car is running and the operation is detected by the contact operation detection unit 23 Even if the car 2 is running, any of the users in the car 2 is driven by the contact operation detection unit 23. When the destination floor is registered, another user in the car 2 may register the destination floor in a chain reaction.

Therefore, when the car 2 is running and the operation is detected by the contact operation detection unit 23, the period setting unit 113 does not accept the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22. You may change it.

For example, the period setting unit 113 does not set a period during which the non-contact operation is not accepted for the third predetermined time from the time when the operation is detected by the contact operation detection unit 23, and accepts the non-contact operation after the predetermined time elapses. You can set a period that does not exist. The third predetermined time may be, for example, a time of several seconds to several minutes.

Further, the period setting unit 113 performs a non-contact operation for a period from the time when the operation is detected by the contact operation detection unit 23 until the car door is opened or the car 2 is stopped. May not be accepted.

From the above configuration, even when the car 2 is running, when the operation is detected by the contact operation detection unit 23, the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is accepted. As a result, the user in the car 2 can register the destination floor by a non-contact operation.

(8) Within a predetermined time from the time when the car door is closed Even if the car 2 door is closed, the user in the car 2 registers the destination floor within the fourth predetermined time. Probability is high.

Therefore, the period setting unit 113 changes the period during which the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is not accepted from the time when the door of the car 2 is closed to the lapse of the fourth predetermined time. You may.

For example, the period setting unit 113 may change the start time of the period in which the non-contact operation is not accepted from the time when the door of the car 2 is closed to the time when the fourth predetermined time elapses. The fourth predetermined time may be, for example, a time of several seconds to several minutes. That is, the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is accepted within the fourth predetermined time from the time when the door of the car 2 is closed. Further, if the fourth predetermined time is too long, the non-contact operation will not be accepted even after the car 2 arrives at the next destination floor. Therefore, the car 2 arrives at least at the next destination floor during the fourth predetermined time. The fourth predetermined time may be terminated before the above.

With the above configuration, even if the door of the car 2 is in the closed state, the non-contact operation detected by the non-contact operation detection unit 22 is accepted within a predetermined time. As a result, the user in the car 2 can register the destination floor by a non-contact operation.

The destination floor registration unit 116a registers the floor on which the user has performed a car call operation. The destination floor registration unit 116a can register the floor on which the car call operation has been performed during the period in which the period setting unit 113a does not set a period during which the non-contact operation is not detected. The destination floor registration unit 116a may store information about the destination floor of the car 2 in the destination floor registration information 122a of the storage unit 120a.
