5. A mobile terminal of a visitor to the aforementioned building, further comprising a second mobile terminal on which the aforementioned application is installed, The application on the second mobile terminal is configured with a visitor number to allow the visitor to remove the restrictions placed on the elevator, and floor information indicating the base floor where the entrance is located and the destination floor where the room the visitor is going is located. The security server registers visitor information, including the visitor number issued in response to an application from the resident, linked to the resident's security information. When the first wireless signal transmitting device performs an operation to unlock the electric lock of the automatic door in the resident's room, it transmits a third wireless signal to the surrounding area that includes room floor information indicating the floor on which the room is located. If the second mobile terminal finds that the room floor indicated by the room floor information included in the third wireless signal received at the entrance matches the destination floor indicated by the usage floor information set in the application on the terminal, it sends a second security release request to the elevator server, including the visitor number and usage floor information set in the application, indicating that it wants to release the restrictions placed on the elevator. If the elevator server can confirm that the visitor information, including the visitor number included in the second security release request, is registered in association with the resident's security information, including the floor used information included in the second security release request, it transmits the security release permission information to the second mobile terminal. When the second mobile terminal receives the security release permission information, it transitions the state of the application to a state in which the restrictions placed on the elevator can be released, and in this state, when it receives the second wireless signal at the floor used by the visitor indicated by the floor used information, it transmits the call restriction release information and a call registration request indicating that it wants to register a destination call corresponding to the floor used information to the elevator server. When the elevator server receives the call restriction release information and the call registration request, it transmits a security release command to the elevator control device to release the restrictions placed on the elevator and a call registration command to register the destination call indicated by the call registration request. The elevator control device releases the restrictions placed on the elevator in accordance with the security release command and registers the destination call in accordance with the call registration command. The elevator system according to claim 1.

6. The visitor information further includes information indicating the validity period of the visitor number, which is set in accordance with the application from the resident. The elevator system according to claim 5.
