Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the operating system of elevators. Background Technology

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes an elevator car control panel capable of non-contact operation input. This car control panel includes a destination floor control panel for inputting operations to register the destination floor and an effective control panel for inputting operations to activate the car control panel. Then, after detecting a non-contact operation on the effective control panel of the car control panel, and if a non-contact operation on the destination floor control panel is detected within the effective time period, the destination floor is registered. Patent Document 1 also states that the greater the load inside the car, the longer the initial value of the effective time can be set.

[0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2022-76600 Summary of the Invention

[0006] The problem that the invention aims to solve

[0007] The ease of operating an elevator control panel varies depending on the user's proficiency. Furthermore, in recent years, elevator control panels have become increasingly diverse, including touch-panel panels and those capable of contactless input, resulting in a wide variety of user interfaces (UIs). Consequently, the difference in user proficiency with the control panel among users has widened.

[0008] Therefore, the necessity of auxiliary tools such as guidance and instruction for users to operate the control panel smoothly varies from user to user, and the optimal UI for the control panel also varies from user to user. For example, for users with low operating proficiency, a UI that allows for sufficient input can prevent operational errors. However, for users with high operating proficiency, such a UI may sometimes slow down the operation. Therefore, it is difficult to balance the suppression of operational errors by users with low operating proficiency with the operation speed of users with high operating proficiency. In this regard, the operating system in Patent Document 1 does not take into account the operating proficiency of each user.

[0009] In view of the above-mentioned problems, this disclosure provides an elevator operating system that can set a UI for the control panel suitable for each user.

[0010] Methods for solving problems

[0011] The elevator operating system disclosed herein includes: an operating panel having an operating unit and a notification unit, wherein the operating unit accepts operation inputs for instructing the elevator car to move, and the notification unit notifies information related to the operation of the elevator; and a setting unit that sets the user interface of the operating panel for each user based on information related to the operation status of the operating panel by each user.

[0012] Invention Effects

[0013] According to the elevator operating system disclosed herein, an appropriate user interface for the control panel can be provided based on the individual operating conditions of each user. Therefore, it is possible to both mitigate operational errors by users unfamiliar with the operation and increase the operating speed of skilled users. Attached Figure Description

[0024] Hereinafter, embodiments of the elevator operating system of this disclosure will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in the various drawings, the same or equivalent parts are labeled with the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are simplified or omitted.

[0025] Implementation method 1.

[0026] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram showing the operating system and surrounding structure of the elevator according to Embodiment 1. (As shown...) Figure 1 As shown, the elevator's operating system 100 includes an operation panel 1 and a control unit 2.

[0027] The control panel 1 is a landing control panel located near the elevator's landing door 3. Only one control panel 1 is shown here, but control panels 1 are located at the landings of each service floor of the elevator. Furthermore, in cases where multiple elevators are installed, multiple control panels 1 can be installed at a single landing. By operating the control panel 1, the user can input commands to move the elevator car. Although not shown in the figure, the operating system 100 also includes a car control panel located inside the elevator car as the control panel 1.

[0028] The control panel 1 may include, for example, an operation panel and a speaker as a user interface (hereinafter also referred to as "UI"). The speaker functions as a notification unit that informs the user of information via voice guidance. Alternatively, a microphone may also be included as a UI.

[0029] The operation panel of the operation panel 1 serves both as an operation unit for receiving user input and as a display unit for displaying information to the user. When the operation panel functions as an operation unit, it can detect non-contact input that the user can input by bringing a part of their body, such as a finger, close to the screen.

[0030] Figure 2 and Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the operation panel of operation panel 1. Figure 2 This is the screen displayed when a user makes a floor call for the elevator. In the screen where a user makes a floor call for the elevator, as shown... Figure 2 As shown, the control panel displays prompts 10 for users to input their desired floor, such as "Please enter the floor you wish to use," and also displays an operation button 11 for users to input their destination floor. This operation button 11 corresponds to the elevator's service floor. By bringing a part of their body, such as a finger, close to the operation button 11 displaying the desired destination floor for a certain period of time, users can register an elevator call from the floor.

[0031] Figure 3 After the user completes the elevator call registration, then... Figure 2 This is an example of a screen displayed. When elevator call registration is complete, such as... Figure 3 As shown, a user-oriented guidance screen is displayed on the control panel. This screen includes, for example, a display 13 showing the registered destination floor such as "Using Floor 4" and a display 14 indicating the elevator number assigned to the user, such as "Elevator A".

[0032] Refer again Figure 1 The control unit 2 is connected to the operation panel 1 in a manner that enables the sending and receiving of information. The control unit 2 includes an operation status monitoring unit 21 and a UI setting unit 22.

[0033] The operation status monitoring unit 21 acquires information about the user's operation status when the user inputs operations onto the control panel 1, and monitors the user's operation status. Specifically, the acquired operation status information includes at least one of the following: whether there was any erroneous operation and the registration operation time. The registration operation time is the time required from the start of the user's operation until the elevator call registration is completed.

[0034] The UI setting unit 22 determines the user's proficiency based on the operation status information obtained by the operation status monitoring unit 21. The method for determining proficiency is not limited as long as it can be evaluated under certain criteria. For example, by pre-assigning scores to each item of the operation status information, the UI setting unit 22 can calculate a score corresponding to the operation status information to determine the user's proficiency.

[0035] More specifically, for example, if the operation status information item is whether there was an error, scores are set for both the error-causing and error-free scenarios, and stored in the storage unit (not shown) of the control unit 2. Furthermore, if the operation status information item is the registration time, a score corresponding to the registration time is set and stored in the storage unit (not shown) of the control unit 2. The UI setting unit 22 calculates the scores based on the operation status information. Additionally, if there are multiple operation status information items, the scores for each item can be added together to calculate the operation proficiency.

[0036] Regarding operational proficiency, the calculated score can also be used as an evaluation value representing the level of operational proficiency. In this case, the UI setting unit 22 determines the user's operational proficiency by calculating the user's operational proficiency score. Furthermore, operational proficiency can also be represented by multiple proficiency levels, for example, divided into multiple grades. In this case, the score calculated as described above and the proficiency level are pre-correlated and stored in the storage unit (not shown) of the control unit 2. The UI setting unit 22 determines the user's operational proficiency by calculating the proficiency level corresponding to the calculated score.

[0037] The UI setting unit 22 sets UI parameters based on the user's proficiency. UI parameters are parameters used to change specific items of the UI. These specific items are pre-set appropriately based on the content of the UI on the operation panel 1.

[0038] For example, if the control panel 1 has an operation panel that accepts non-touch operations, a specific item can be set with a hover time, and the hover time can be changed according to UI parameters. Here, hover time refers to the standby time from when the user brings their finger or other object close to the target operation button on the control panel 1 until the control panel 1 actually accepts the registration.

[0039] Furthermore, for example, the display speed of the screen displayed on the operation panel from one screen to the next can be set as a specific item, and the display speed of the operation panel can be changed according to UI parameters. Additionally, for example, the speed of voice guidance from the speaker can be set as a specific item, and the playback speed of voice guidance can be changed according to UI parameters.

[0040] The relationship between user proficiency and various UI parameters such as hover time, display speed, and voice guidance is defined through pre-determination, mapping, or functions, and stored in the storage unit of control unit 2. UI setting unit 22 sets UI parameters corresponding to user proficiency according to the relationships stored in the storage unit.

[0041] The UI setting unit 22 sends the set UI parameters to the control panel 1. After receiving the UI parameters, the control panel 1 changes its UI for the user according to the UI parameters. Specifically, for example, if the specific item is hover time, the UI is set to have a longer hover time for users with low operating proficiency compared to users with high operating proficiency. Furthermore, if the specific item is display speed, the UI of the control panel 1 is set to have a slower display speed for users with low operating proficiency and a faster display speed for users with high operating proficiency. Additionally, if the specific item is voice guidance speed, the UI is set to have a slower voice guidance speed for users with low operating proficiency and a faster voice guidance speed for users with high operating proficiency.

[0042] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an example of the control processing performed by the control unit 2 of the operating system in Embodiment 1. During the provision of elevator service, the control is repeatedly executed at predetermined control intervals. Figure 4 Control processing.

[0043] exist Figure 4 In the control process, firstly, in step S101, it is determined whether there is any operation input to the operation panel 1. If no operation input to the operation panel 1 is detected, the current process temporarily ends.

[0044] On the other hand, in step S101, if it is determined that there is an operation input to the operation panel 1, then in step S102, the operation status monitoring unit 21 obtains information on whether there is an erroneous operation and the recorded operation time as the operation status of the user who performed the operation.

[0045] Next, in step S103, the user's operational proficiency is determined. That is, based on the operational status information obtained in step S102, the UI setting unit 22 determines the user's operational proficiency after performing the corresponding operation.

[0046] Next, in step S104, UI parameters corresponding to the user's operating proficiency are set. As described above, the relationship between operating proficiency and UI parameters is pre-stored in the storage unit. The UI setting unit 22 sets the UI parameters according to this relationship. The UI setting unit 22 sends the UI parameters to the operation panel 1.

[0047] Next, in step S105, the operation panel 1 changes the UI settings for the user according to the received UI parameters, such as displaying the operation panel or making announcements from the speaker. After that, the current process is temporarily terminated.

[0048] As an example of applying the UI settings for each user in step S105 after the operation disk 1 receives the UI parameters, the following (1) to (4) can be listed.

[0049] (1) When a user re-operates after accidentally registering an elevator call.

[0050] In this situation, for example, when the hover time is longer or other user-specific UI settings have been configured, the following is displayed: Figure 2 The screen shown is for elevator call registration.

[0051] (2) The operation of the car control panel after the passenger has entered the car.

[0052] For example, when a user operates the car control panel after entering the car, such as opening and closing the car door or registering the destination floor, the UI settings should be appropriate to the user's proficiency level.

[0053] (3) The situation of users who have used the elevator in the past

[0054] If a user has a history of using the elevator and UI settings have been configured for that user, it is also possible to... Figure 2 The user's pre-set UI settings are applied from the stage shown on the elevator call registration screen. There is no limitation on the method for determining whether a user has UI settings. For example, a camera could be installed at floor 4, and the user could be identified based on the camera image to determine if there are any records of past UI settings for that user. Alternatively, if the floor control panel 1 is a control panel with a card reader, the user could be identified based on the user's identification number obtained through the control panel 1 to determine if there are any past UI settings for that user. Furthermore, this assumes that past UI settings for each user are stored, but there is no limit to the retention period for UI settings; for example, UI setting information can be cleared after one day.

[0055] (4) Providing users with information related to the elevator

[0056] For example, regarding in Figure 3 The system displays the registered destination floor and assigned elevator number, then provides users with information related to elevator operation, and offers voice guidance, all within each user's UI settings.

[0057] Furthermore, for example, regarding the car control panel UI when multiple users enter the car at floor 4 and the UI settings are complete, for instance, the UI settings for the user with the lowest operating proficiency can be applied, or the UI set to its initial value can be used directly without changing the UI settings. Moreover, even when multiple users are present, the system can be configured to identify users via a camera or similar device and apply UI settings tailored to each user.

[0058] As explained above, in this embodiment, the user's proficiency with the control panel 1 is determined based on their operating status, and the UI of the control panel 1 is changed accordingly. Therefore, UI prompts corresponding to the user's proficiency can reduce operational errors by users with low proficiency and promote smooth operation input by users with high proficiency.

[0059] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the operation panel 1 is described as having an operation panel capable of accepting contactless operation input. However, the operation panel 1 is not limited to this; it may also have an operation panel with an operation button that allows registration of the destination floor by pressing it. Additionally, it may have an operation panel with a pressable operation button, allowing contactless input by bringing a finger or similar object close to the button. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the structure of the operating system 100 including a landing operation panel and a car operation panel, which serve as the operation panel 1, has been described; however, the operating system may also have a structure with only a landing operation panel. Moreover, the location of the operation panel 1 is not limited to being located near the landing door 3; in the case of multiple elevators arranged together, it may also be located near the landing entrance.

[0060] Implementation method 2.

[0061] Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the operating system and its surrounding structure in Embodiment 2. Figure 5 The operating system 200 has the same structure as the operating system 100 of Embodiment 1, except that it has a user action control unit 23.

[0062] The user action control unit 23 includes, for example, a camera positioned to capture images around the control panel 1. The operation status control unit 21 can obtain the operation start time—the time from when the user arrives at a predetermined position on the control panel 1 until operation begins—based on the camera image from the user action control unit 23. Here, the predetermined position is appropriately set in advance near the control panel 1 as a reference position for determining the operation start time.

[0063] The operation status monitoring unit 21 obtains information on the presence or absence of erroneous operations, the registration time, and the operation start time as operation status information. The UI setting unit 22 determines the user's proficiency based on this information. The method for determining proficiency is not limited as long as it can be evaluated under certain criteria. For example, as described in Embodiment 1, scores are assigned to each item: presence or absence of erroneous operations, registration time, and operation start time. The user's proficiency is determined based on the scores corresponding to the presence or absence of erroneous operations, the registration time, and the operation start time. Here, the proficiency can be determined based on either the presence or absence of erroneous operations or the registration time, as well as the operation start time, or it can be determined solely based on the operation start time.

[0064] Figure 6 This is a flowchart illustrating an example of control processing performed by the control unit of the operating system in Embodiment 2. Figure 6The flowchart shown, except that it includes the processing of step S201 prior to step S101, is similar to... Figure 4 The flowcharts are the same.

[0065] exist Figure 6 In step S201, it is determined whether the user is close to the control panel 1. Here, the user action control unit 23 determines whether there is a user within a specified range of the control panel 1 based on the camera image, thereby determining whether the user is close to the control panel 1.

[0066] If it is determined in step S201 that no user is approaching, the process temporarily ends. On the other hand, if it is determined in step S201 that a user is approaching, the process proceeds to step S101 to determine whether there is any operation input to the operation panel 1. If it is determined in step S101 that no operation input is found, the process returns to step S201, and the determination of whether a user is approaching in step S201 and the determination of whether there is operation input in step S101 are performed at predetermined intervals.

[0067] If an operation input is determined in step S101, the operation status is then obtained in step S102. The operation status obtained here includes, in addition to the information on whether there is an erroneous operation and the registration time of the operation as described in Embodiment 1, information on the operation start time from the detection of the user's approach to the user's commencement of the operation.

[0068] Next, proceed to step S103 to determine operational proficiency. Here, the determination of operational proficiency uses at least one of the following information: presence or absence of erroneous operations, registration time of the operation, and operation start time. Afterwards, steps S104 and S105 are performed in the same manner as in Embodiment 1, and this process concludes.

[0069] As explained above, the operating system of this embodiment obtains the operation start time as the user's operation status and uses it to determine the user's operation proficiency. Therefore, it is possible to obtain not only information from the moment the user begins operating the control panel 1, but also user action information from the moment the user approaches the control panel 1, enabling a more accurate determination of operation proficiency. Furthermore, since operation proficiency can be determined earlier based on the operation start time information, a UI corresponding to the user's operation proficiency can be set and provided at an earlier stage.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the user action control unit 23 is described as having a camera capable of capturing images of the vicinity of the control panel 1, thereby detecting the user's approach. However, the user action control unit 23 is not limited to this and may also be configured to detect the user's actions through other structures. Figure 7This is a diagram used to illustrate other structural examples of the user's action control unit.

[0071] Figure 7 The operating system 201 replaces the user action control unit 23 with a user action control unit 24. The user action control unit 24 replaces the camera with a proximity sensor located near the control panel 1. The proximity sensor detects when the user is near the control panel 1. When the proximity sensor detects a user approaching the control panel 1, the user action control unit 24 sends information about the detected proximity to the operation status control unit 21. Thus, the operation status control unit 21 can obtain the time from when the user approaches the control panel 1 until operation begins.

[0072] Implementation method 3.

[0073] Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram showing the operating system and peripheral structure of Embodiment 3. Figure 8 In addition to having a congestion monitoring unit 26, the operating system 300 also has the following features: Figure 1 The operating system 100 has the same structure. The congestion monitoring unit 26 is equipped with a camera that captures images near the elevator floors and has the function of detecting the number of users reflected in the captured images based on the camera images. The information on the number of users obtained by the congestion monitoring unit 26 is sent to the UI setting unit 22.

[0074] The UI setting unit 22 sets the UI parameters for each user based on the user's operating proficiency information sent from the operation status control unit 21 and the congestion status of the floor 4 obtained by the congestion status control unit 26.

[0075] More specifically, for example, a coefficient corresponding to the congestion level is preset and stored in the storage unit (not shown) of the control unit 2. Furthermore, the UI parameter set according to the user's operational proficiency can be multiplied by the coefficient set according to the congestion level as the UI parameter for each user. Alternatively, the coefficient can be set to a uniform constant, and the UI parameter can be multiplied by this coefficient when the congestion level exceeds a certain value.

[0076] Therefore, based on the level of congestion, or when the level of congestion is higher than a certain value, the screen display speed can be increased by a certain percentage compared to the UI settings of each user, or the voice guidance speed can be increased by a certain percentage.

[0077] In addition, UI settings can be changed according to the congestion level by omitting a portion of the UI content based on pre-set conditions. In cases of high congestion, a lower limit can be set for the UI display speed.

[0078] Figure 9 This is a flowchart illustrating an example of control processing performed by the control unit of the operating system in Embodiment 3. Figure 9 The flowchart shown, except that it includes the processing of step S301 after step S103 and before step S104, is similar to... Figure 4 The flowcharts are the same.

[0079] exist Figure 9 In the control process, after determining the user's operational proficiency in step S103, congestion information is obtained in step S301. This congestion information is obtained by the congestion monitoring unit 26. Then, in step S104, a congestion-based UI is set, and in step S105, the UI for each user is displayed.

[0080] As explained above, in this embodiment, the UI parameters can be set to parameters corresponding to the operator's proficiency and the congestion level of station 4. Therefore, the UI of the control panel 1 can be adjusted to suit the congestion situation of station 4, thus alleviating the congestion at station 4.

[0081] Furthermore, this embodiment describes a structure in which the congestion monitoring unit 26 is integrated into the operating system of Embodiment 1. However, it is not limited to this; for example, the structure of the congestion monitoring unit 26 may also be provided in the operating system of Embodiment 2. In this case, the camera provided by the congestion monitoring unit 26 may also serve as the camera of the user action monitoring unit 23 of Embodiment 2.

[0082] Implementation method 4.

[0083] The operating system in Implementation 4, in addition to replacing Figure 8 Besides the fact that the operating system's congestion control unit 26 has user attributes, it is also related to... Figure 8 The operating system is the same. The user attribute control unit is equipped with a camera that covers the vicinity of the control panel 1 and has the function of obtaining user attributes based on the camera images.

[0084] Here, user attributes include information such as wheelchair users, stroller users, and trolley users. Specific UI items reflecting user attributes include, for example, the display height of the input area on the control panel 1 and the standby time without touch input. For example, if the user attribute is a wheelchair user, the UI parameters are set to lower the display height of the input area on the control panel 1. Furthermore, for example, if the user attribute is any of the wheelchair, stroller, or trolley users, the UI parameters are set to extend the standby time without touch input.

[0085] As explained above, according to this embodiment, user attributes such as those of wheelchair users, strollers, and trolley users are obtained, and UI parameters are changed accordingly, thereby providing a UI that is suitable for the user's attributes.

[0086] Furthermore, this embodiment describes a structure in which a user attribute monitoring unit is integrated into the operating system of Embodiment 1. However, it is not limited to this; for example, the structure of the user attribute monitoring unit can be provided in any of the systems in Embodiments 2 to 4. In this case, the camera provided by the user attribute monitoring unit can also serve as the camera in Embodiment 2 and the camera in the congestion monitoring unit 26 of Embodiment 3.

[0087] Furthermore, the user attribute acquisition unit in this embodiment is not limited to having a camera. For example, it can also be configured to read the user's ID and thus read user attribute information by using a card reader built into the operation panel 1 or provided near the operation panel 1.

[0088] Implementation method 5.

[0089] The operating system of Embodiment 5 has the same structure as the operating system 200 of Embodiment 2. The operating system of Embodiment 5 is the same as the operating system 100 of Embodiment 1, except that the UI setting unit 22 sets UI parameters according to the weighted or priority order of each item of information on the operation status.

[0090] Specifically, the storage unit of the control unit 2 stores weighting coefficients T1, A, and T2 for each item obtained by the operation status monitoring unit 21, namely, the operation start time t1 [seconds], whether there is an operation error a (e.g., operation error...0, no operation error...1), and the registration operation time t2 [seconds]. When setting UI parameters, the UI setting unit 22 calculates the operation proficiency K by multiplying the value of each item of the operation status information by the weighting coefficient according to the following formula (1).

[0091] Operational proficiency K = t1 × T1 + a × A + t2 + T2 … (1)

[0092] As mentioned above, by assigning weighted priorities to items based on operational status, an appropriate UI can be provided to the user.

[0093] Furthermore, the case where all items, including the start time of the operation, the presence or absence of a misoperation, and the registration time of the operation, are used as information on the operation status to calculate the operation proficiency K in the above formula (1) has been explained. However, this embodiment is not limited to this. For example, it is also possible to use only the items of the start time of the operation t1 and the presence or absence of a misoperation a to calculate the operation proficiency K = t1 × T1 + a × A, etc., using any one or more of the items of the operation status information.

[0094] Furthermore, this embodiment describes the case where the UI settings of this embodiment are combined in the operating system 200 of Embodiment 2. However, it is not limited to this; the UI settings of this embodiment can also be combined in the operating systems of Embodiments 1 or 3 to 5. For example, when combined with the operating system of Embodiment 4, it can be configured such that weighting coefficients are also set for user attributes grasped by the user attribute grasping unit, and UI parameters are calculated based on the weighted operation proficiency K and user attributes. Furthermore, for example, when combined with the operating system 300 of Embodiment 3, it can be configured such that weighting coefficients are also set for congestion conditions grasped by the congestion condition grasping unit 26, and UI parameters are calculated based on the weighted operation proficiency K and congestion conditions.

[0095] Figure 10 This is a flowchart illustrating an example of control processing when the UI settings of this embodiment are applied in the operating system of Embodiment 3. Figure 10 In the control processing, in step S103, the operation proficiency determination uses weighted coefficients for each item of the operation status to calculate the operation proficiency K. Furthermore, in step S104, the UI parameters are calculated using weighted coefficients set separately for operation proficiency and congestion status. Other aspects are similar to... Figure 9 The control processing is the same, so the explanation is omitted.

[0096] Furthermore, the weighting coefficients in this embodiment can also be configured to be externally modifiable. For example, they can be configured such that, through additional control processing, the relationship between each item of the operational status information and the actual occurrence rate of misoperation and operation speed can be analyzed, and the weighting coefficients of items with high correlation to operational proficiency can be increased. This further suppresses the occurrence of misoperations and promotes smooth and rapid operation.
