no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0044] figure 1 It is a figure which shows the structure of the elevator user detection system which concerns on 1st Embodiment. In addition, here, although one passenger car is taken as an example and demonstrated, even if it is a plurality of passenger cars, it is the same structure.

[0045] A camera 12 is provided above the entrance and exit of the passenger car 11 . Specifically, the camera 12 is installed on the curtain panel 11a covering the upper part of the entrance and exit of the passenger car 11 so that the lens portion faces directly below or is inclined at a predetermined angle toward the boarding place 15 side or the interior side of the passenger car 11. .

[0046] The camera 12 is, for example, a small surveillance camera such as a vehicle-mounted camera, has a wide-angle lens or a fisheye lens, and can continuously capture images of several frames (for example, 30 frames / second) per second. The camera 12 is activated when the passenger car 11 arrives at th...

no. 2 Embodiment approach

[0127] Next, a second embodiment will be described.

[0128] In the first embodiment described above, the range in the Y-axis direction of the detection area E1 is changed stepwise up to a predetermined position ( L4 ) in accordance with the movement of the car door 13 when the door is closed. On the other hand, in 2nd Embodiment, when starting to close a door, the range of the Y-axis direction of the detection area E1 is changed to a predetermined position (L4).

[0129] exist Figure 13 to Figure 15 This situation is shown in .

[0130] Figure 13 to Figure 15 It is a figure for explaining the range change of a detection area. Figure 13 The state of the detection area E1 before the start of door closing is shown. The detection area E1 has a distance of L3 from the entrance and exit of the passenger car 11 toward the landing direction (Y-axis direction). Figure 14 Shows the state of the detection area E1 just after the door is closed, Figure 15 The state of the detec...

no. 3 Embodiment approach

[0137] Next, a third embodiment will be described.

[0138] The third embodiment is an embodiment obtained by combining the above-mentioned first embodiment and the above-mentioned second embodiment. That is, in the third embodiment, the range of the detection area E1 in the Y-axis direction is changed step by step when the door is closed, and the range is changed to a predetermined position when the door opening amount Wa becomes equal to or smaller than a certain value ( L4 ).

[0139] exist Figure 17 to Figure 19 This situation is shown in .

[0140] Figure 17 to Figure 19 It is a diagram for explaining the range change of the detection area E1, and shows an example of the detection area E1 that is changed when the car door 13 moves from the fully open state to the door closing direction. The lower side is the passenger car side, and the upper side is the elevator side.

[0141] Such as Figure 17 As shown, when the door is started to close, the range of the detectio...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention relates to an elevator user detection system. A user or an object is detected according to the opening condition of the door. An elevator user detection system according to an embodiment includes a camera, a detection area setting unit, a detection processing unit, and a detection area changing unit. The camera photographs a predetermined range including the door from the passenger car toward the elevator. The detection area setting part sets a detection area including the elevator taking position on a shot image obtained by the camera. The detection processing unit detects a user or an object using the image within the detection region set by the detection region setting unit. The detection area changing part dynamically changes the range of the detection area from the entrance and exit of the passenger car to the elevator taking position according to the opening and closing action of the door.

Description

[0001] This application is based on Japanese patent application 2019-232906 (filing date: December 24, 2019) and enjoys the priority of this application. This application includes by reference this application in its entirety. technical field [0002] Embodiment of this invention relates to the elevator user detection system. Background technique [0003] Usually, when the passenger car of the elevator arrives at the boarding place and opens the door, the door closes after a predetermined time elapses and departs. At this time, the user of the elevator does not know when the door of the passenger car is closed, and therefore, when getting on the passenger car from the landing, it may hit the door on the way of closing the door. [0004] In order to avoid collision of such doors during boarding, there is a system that detects a user boarding a passenger car using images captured by a camera and reflects the detection result in door opening and closing control.
