A reservation number signal is shown, (26b) is a display start time signal, (26c) is a display end time signal, and (26d) is a coded display character string signal showing a display message.

In FIG. 3, S (1) to S (10) are display start times, E (1) to E (10) are display end times, M (1) to M (10) are display messages, and D ( 0), D (1), and D (2) are character variables representing a combined display message (hereinafter referred to as composite display message), i is a numerical variable representing a reservation number, j is a numerical variable for determining an even number, k Is a numerical variable representing the indicators (6A) (6B) (8), and t is the current time.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. The operation according to this flowchart is
It is executed by the arithmetic program stored in 2).

First, when the power is turned on, step (31)
Initializes the data in the RAM (13) by setting it to a predetermined value such as zero or resetting the clock IC (12).
Adjust switch (25) via input circuit (23) in step (32)
The setting signal is taken in from and the clock IC (12) is adjusted to the designated time. The display message M (1), the display start time S (1) and the display end time E (1) registered in the reservation device (26) in step (33) are input together with the reservation number data I, and the result is shown in FIG. Set in RAM (13) as shown. In this embodiment, the number of display messages that can be reserved by the reservation device (26) is limited to 10 and the length of the displayed text per message is limited to 16 characters.

At step (34), it is determined whether the reservation number data I has become zero. If it is not zero, the process returns to step (33) to input the display message and the display start and end times one after another and set them in the RAM (13). When the reserved display message and the display start and end times are all input from the reservation device (26), the reservation number data I becomes zero, so the process proceeds to step (35). In steps (35) to (43), display (6A) (6
B) Select, distribute and combine display messages to be displayed in (8).

In step (35), first, a numerical variable i representing a reservation number and a numerical variable j for judging an even number are set to 1, respectively, and combined messages D (0), D (1), Initialize D (2) to a zero length string (null string). In step (36) (corresponding to the selection means (14)), it is selected whether or not it is the time zone in which the display message M (i) of the numerical variable i is displayed. That is, it is determined whether S (i) ≦ t <E whether the time t input from the clock IC (12) is within the display period.
Judge according to (i), and if it is within the display period, step (37).
Go to.

Since the display message is distributed in step (37) (corresponding to the distribution means (15)), it is judged whether the numerical variable j is an even number. If it is an even number, the process proceeds to step (38), and the display message M (i) is linked to the combined display message D (0) to update the combined display message D (0). If it is an odd number, the process proceeds to step (39), and the composite display message D (1) is similarly updated. Then, in step (40), the composite display message D (2) is updated regardless of the numerical variable j. At this time, if "Δ # Δ" (Δ represents a blank) is inserted before the display message M (i), a character string is inserted so that the break of the sentence can be easily understood. In addition, steps (38) to (4
0) corresponds to the synthesizing means (16).

Then, in step (41), the display message M
To distribute (i), increment the numerical variable j by 1. In step (42), the numerical variable i is incremented by 1 for the next reservation number processing. If it is determined in step (36) that the current time t is outside the display period, the process jumps to step (42) to update the numerical variable i. In step (43), it is determined whether the numerical variable i exceeds 10. When it is 10 or less, the process returns to step (36) and steps (36) to (43) are repeated. When the processes of steps (35) to (42) are completed for all the reserved display messages, the numerical variable i becomes 11, so that the step (4
Go to 4).

As a result, for example, when t = 11: 00, "GOOD MORNING." (00: 00: 00-1)
2:00), "TODAY IS FINE" (06:
00-15: 00), "Precipitation probability 10%" (10:00)
0 to 14:00), "Air temperature 20 ° C" (10:00 to 1)
Each of the four messages (4:00) is synthesized,
The composite display messages D (0), D (1), D (2) are as shown in FIG.

In step (44), the numerical variable k representing the corresponding display is set to 1. In step (45), it is determined whether the corresponding display is set to an even number, and if it is specified to an even number, the process proceeds to step (46), and the composite display message D (0) as shown in FIG. It is coded so that it can be displayed on the display (6A) and is sent to the display (6A) via the output circuit (24). If it is not designated as an even number, it is determined in step (47) whether the corresponding display unit is designated as an odd number.

If it is judged as an odd number in step (47), the composite display message D (1) is sent to the display (6B) in step (48). If no odd number is determined in step (47), the composite display message D (2) is displayed in step (49).
Send to (8). When the transmission is complete, the numerical variable k is incremented by 1 for the next indicator in step (50). In step (51), it is judged whether steps (45) to (50) have been repeated for the number of setting display units.If not completed, return to step (45), and if completed, return to step (32) again. , And similar processing is repeated.

Then, in the display devices (6A) (6B) (8), the composite display message D sent from the display control device (11).
(0), D (1), D (2) are stored. For example, as shown in FIG. 5 (A), the composite display message D (0) is displayed on the display (6A) and as shown in FIG. 5 (B). Then, the composite display message D (1) is displayed on the display unit (6B) by scrolling from the right side to the left side by one character every 200 milliseconds. The composite display message D (2) is displayed on the display unit (8).

Example 2. In the above embodiment, each indicator (6A)
(6B) According to (8), the display message is divided so that it is displayed only when the numerical variable j is an odd number, only when it is an even number, and whether it is odd or even, but it is not limited to this. is not. For example, the number of divisions can be easily changed according to the set number of display devices on the same floor.

Example 3. Further, a plurality of types of information to be displayed may be distributed to each display device by changing the combination of display messages so that the display order is different. In addition, it is also possible to create a plurality of groups with two or more types of display messages as one group, and to distribute and display the groups by changing the order of each group.

[0024]

As described above, according to the present invention, when there are a plurality of pieces of information to be displayed, these pieces of information are distributed and displayed on a plurality of display devices. Is not displayed on the display, and there is an effect that the user of the elevator can be made to pay attention to a large amount of information.
