Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of elevator control, and specifically comprises a control system for face recognition call, and a method for taking an elevator. BACKGROUND

[0002] Face recognition is widely used in various fields as a way of permission identification, including the field of elevators. There are mainly two ways of permission control for face recognition call in the market at present.

[0003] The first way is to record the user's face in the database and grant the user permission to all floors. After identity authentication, the elevator opens all floor permissions, and the user can reach any floor as needed. The disadvantage of this scheme is that there is a lack of control over the user and the floors the user can access, and the security and privacy cannot be guaranteed.

[0004] The second way is to record the user's face in the database and grant the user permission to a certain floor. After identity authentication, the elevator opens the user's binding floor permission, and the user can only reach the binding floor. The disadvantage of this scheme is that the user cannot temporarily change the destination floor and can only reach the binding floor. If the user needs to go to other floors, the user needs to reapply for authorization and change the binding floor, and can only reach the changed binding floor thereafter, which brings many inconveniences to the actual life and work, and the user experience is poor and the elevator experience is decreased.

[0005] In addition, the existing face recognition call elevator requires visitors to register before taking the elevator. For temporary visitors such as housekeeping staff and delivery personnel, the registration process causes unnecessary time waste, and some visitors may not know how to register. Therefore, the existing face recognition call elevator brings great difficulty to visitors taking the elevator.

[0006] In addition to the above problems, the traditional elevator control box panel has physical floor buttons corresponding to each floor. After obtaining the permission to take the elevator, the passenger needs to register the destination floor by triggering the floor button. First, the number of floor buttons on the elevator control box needs to be customized according to the number of floors, so that the production of the existing elevator control box cannot be standardized. Second, the traditional elevator control box often has damaged buttons during use, increasing maintenance costs, and also prone to non-standard taking behavior, such as anyone can trigger all floor buttons at the same time. In addition, the use of physical floor buttons has the risk of cross-infection of germs, which is not conducive to public health and safety. SUMMARY

[0007] The face recognition elevator control system optimizes the elevator access logic of non-bound floors, meets the needs of users to easily access any floor, and solves the problem of visitor elevator access, so that the use of the entire control system is more convenient and safe.

[0008] To achieve the above object, the present application provides the following technical solution: a face recognition elevator control system, characterized in that it comprises:

[0009] a server;

[0010] a face recognition device, which is used to realize face recognition and permission checking, interact with the server for data, and communicate with the elevator control system;

[0011] an elevator control system, which is in communication connection with the face recognition device, and is used to control the operation of the elevator according to the permission checking result and instructions of the face recognition device;

[0012] a first terminal, which is in data interaction with the server, and is used to input face information, edit authorized floor applications and bound floor applications, and transmit the edited authorized floor applications and bound floor applications, as well as the face information, to the server, wherein the floor selection range of the bound floor application is within the floor range of the authorized floor application; the server generates a second permission according to the bound floor application and synchronizes the second permission to the first terminal and the face recognition device, and the second permission refers to the stop permission for a certain floor;

[0013] a second terminal, which is in data interaction with the server, and is used to audit the authorized floor applications from the server, and generates the first permission of the user and stores it in the server after the audit is passed, and the first permission refers to the access permission for multiple floors;

[0014] a message middleware, which is used for the server to synchronize and transmit notification messages to the first terminal and the face recognition device.

[0015] As a preferred solution, the first terminal is a mobile communication device installed with an elevator management system; the elevator management system has the function of editing the authorized floor applications and bound floor applications, and is in communication connection with the server.

[0016] As a preferred solution, the control system of the face recognition elevator call further comprises an elevator operating box, the elevator operating box comprising the face recognition device and an operating box panel, wherein the floor buttons on the operating box panel for registering the destination floor only include common floor buttons. The operating box of this solution is a standard operating box, the buttons on the operating box panel for registering the destination floor only include common floor buttons, such as button 1, button -1, etc. The elevator operating box is different from the traditional operating box, which is not limited by the building height and is suitable for any building using elevators. The advantages mainly lie in the production and manufacturing process and cost, the failure rate and maintenance cost during use, public health, property management, etc.

[0017] As a preferred solution, the first terminal can generate an access card and send it to the third terminal through social software, the information of the access card including the destination floor, and the selection range of the destination floor is limited to the authorized floor; the third terminal is a smart phone or a tablet computer capable of data interaction with the server, which can send the destination floor information in the access card to the server, and the server sends the received destination floor information from the third terminal to the face recognition device through the message middleware; the face recognition device sends a registration instruction to the elevator control system according to the received destination floor information, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the destination floor. In this solution, the visitor access function is added, the first terminal generates an access card and sends it to the third terminal (applet) of the visitor through social software, such as WeChat. The visitor can obtain the elevator access right through the access card sent by the registered user without downloading the elevator management system and registering as a member, thereby eliminating the "user discrimination" disadvantage of the face recognition elevator system.

[0018] As a preferred solution, the elevator management system also has a temporary destination floor selection function, and after selecting the function, a selection interface corresponding to the virtual elevator buttons of each floor will pop up on the first terminal. The user selects the destination floor through the virtual elevator buttons, and after selection, the first terminal sends the destination floor to the server. The server sends the received destination floor to the face recognition device through the middleware. The face recognition device sends a registration instruction to the elevator control system according to the received destination floor information, and then the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the destination floor. This solution provides a way for the user to take the elevator through the first terminal. First, any passenger holding the above-mentioned first terminal can complete the elevator through the first terminal, without being limited by the face recognition device. Second, when the destination floor of the passenger (registered user) is not the binding floor, the passenger selects the destination floor through the first terminal, which provides convenience for residents to access other floors. Since the temporary destination floor selected through the first terminal does not need to be audited by the second terminal and will not change the binding floor, the selection of the temporary destination floor will not affect the subsequent elevator of the resident.

[0019] As a preferred solution, the destination floor selected through the first terminal is automatically invalidated after the elevator runs to the floor corresponding to the destination floor. The validity period of the temporary destination floor is set to the time when the elevator runs to the temporary destination floor, and it is automatically invalidated. First, this saves the user from the trouble of manual cancellation. Second, this provides convenience for the user to select another temporary destination floor through the first terminal after the end of the elevator.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the above-mentioned face recognition call control system are:

[0021] ① For elevator manufacturers: replace the traditional control box with a standard control box, simplify the elevator control box structure, reduce installation complexity, and reduce production, installation and maintenance costs. It is very convenient to change the stop floor.

[0022] ② For users:

[0023] a. Registered users can take the elevator as needed, either by face recognition or through the first terminal. Taking the elevator through the first terminal can reach any floor, ensuring that the passenger's various elevator needs are met.

[0024] b. When a registered user accesses a non-binding floor, he or she can select a temporary destination floor through the first terminal and complete the elevator. This way of taking the elevator will not change the binding floor, and it will automatically invalidate after the end of the elevator. Therefore, the application provides a very convenient way to change the floor.

[0025] c. Automatic registration is very convenient. After using a standard control box, users do not need to touch the control box except for the public floor buttons, which can avoid infection, etc.

[0026] d. Provide a visitor elevator access, after the registered user invitation, the visitor can confirm the elevator through the applet, without the registered user to pick up;

[0027] e. When the operating box screen is damaged, but the core mainboard is normal, the user can still take the elevator through the first terminal and the third terminal, compared with the existing various elevator systems, the invention effectively reduces the influence of the local failure of the operating box on the passenger taking the elevator.

[0028] ③ For the management user: the use of the elevator system requires the user to complete registration or get the invitation of the registered user, so the safety can be effectively improved;

[0029] Based on the above face recognition call control system, the application also provides a method for taking the elevator, which comprises the following steps:

[0030] Step 1. The new user opens the elevator management system through the first terminal, then registers and logs in;

[0031] Step 2. Enter the face information;

[0032] Step 3. Edit the authorized floor application and submit it to the server, the administrator audits the authorized floor application of the user on the second terminal, and generates the first authority of the user after the audit is passed and stores the first authority in the server, wherein the first authority refers to the access authority to multiple floors;

[0033] Step 4. The new user edits the binding floor application in the elevator management system, and the server gives the user the second authority according to the binding floor application and synchronizes the second authority to the first terminal and the face recognition device, the second authority refers to the stop authority to a certain floor, and the floor selection range of the binding floor application is within the floor range of the authorized floor application;

[0034] The above steps 1-4 are the pre-operation for the new user to take the elevator using the control system for the first time, and after completing the above operation, the new user becomes a registered user;

[0035] The registered user can send an elevator request through face recognition, and takes the elevator according to the following steps:

[0036] Step 5. The user calls the elevator, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the calling floor;

[0037] Step 6. The user enters the car, then interacts with the face recognition device, and the face recognition device collects the face information of the user;

[0038] Step 7. The face recognition device identifies the user's face information, and after successful identification, calls the corresponding binding floor information, and sends a registered floor instruction to the elevator control system for the binding floor;

[0039] Step 8. The elevator control system receives the registration floor instruction and registers the binding floor, and controls the elevator to stop at the binding floor after running to the binding floor according to the registered binding floor;

[0040] Step 9. The user walks out of the car, and the ride is completed.

[0041] In the above technical solution, the user registers as a registered member through the first terminal, and thereafter can complete the registration of the binding floor through face recognition each time the user takes the elevator, which is convenient for the user to take the elevator and also convenient for the back-end to count the elevator information and manage the elevator.

[0042] As a preferred solution, the registered user can also send a ride request through the first terminal, and after logging in to the ride management system, selects the floor to be reached through the temporary destination floor selection function thereof, which can reach the binding floor or the non-binding floor, so that on the basis of the face recognition ride, the solution provides a ride method for reaching the temporary destination floor for the user who wants to reach the non-binding floor (also the public floor), greatly facilitating the different ride needs of the user; in the solution, the user takes the elevator according to the following steps:

[0043] Step 9. The user calls the elevator, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the call floor;

[0044] Step 10. The user enters the car, and then selects the temporary destination floor selection function in the ride management system through the first terminal, and then a virtual elevator button interface with virtual buttons corresponding to each floor is popped up, the user selects the temporary destination floor I from the virtual elevator button interface, and then sends a ride request;

[0045] Step 11. The first terminal sends the temporary destination floor I information to the server, and the server receives the temporary destination floor I information and sends a registration floor message for the above temporary destination floor I to the face recognition device; the face recognition device receives the registration floor message and sends a registration instruction I for the temporary destination floor I to the elevator control system;

[0046] Step 12. The elevator control system receives the registration instruction I and registers the above temporary destination floor I, and controls the elevator to stop at the floor corresponding to the temporary destination floor I according to the temporary destination floor I;

[0047] Step 13. The user walks out of the car, and the ride is completed.

[0048] For the case of sending a lift request through the first terminal, after the elevator stops at the temporary destination floor I, the temporary destination floor I selected by the first terminal is automatically invalidated, so the temporary destination floor I selected by the first terminal will not change the binding common floor, neither affecting the face recognition lift process, nor affecting the next use of the first terminal to send a lift request.

[0049] The above is the two lift methods of registered users, but there are also temporary lift situations for visitors in reality, so as a preferred solution, in this lift method, a registered user can generate a visitor card through the first terminal and send it to the third terminal, where the visitor card includes a temporary destination floor II within the floor range of the authorized floor application; the holder of the third terminal (visitor) takes the lift according to the following steps:

[0050] Step a. The holder of the third terminal calls the elevator, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the floor where the call is made;

[0051] Step b. The holder of the third terminal enters the car and then sends a lift request by clicking on the access card received by the third terminal;

[0052] Step c. The server receives the information of the temporary destination floor II from the third terminal, sends a registration floor message for the above temporary destination floor II to the face recognition device, and then the face recognition device sends a registration instruction II for the temporary destination floor II to the elevator control system;

[0053] Step d. The elevator control system receives and registers the above registration instruction II, and controls the elevator to run to the floor corresponding to the temporary destination floor II and stop after registration according to the registration instruction II;

[0054] Step e. The holder of the third terminal gets out of the car and completes the lift.

[0055] Therefore, the visitor can obtain lift permission through the access card sent by the registered user and complete the lift without downloading the lift management system and registering as a member, thereby eliminating the "user discrimination" disadvantage of the face recognition lift system.

[0056] As a preferred solution, in step 7, after the user is recognized by the face recognition device, the face recognition device compares the user's binding floor information with the floor information of the call signal and judges whether to automatically register the binding floor; according to the classification of the elevator running direction, there are two cases:

[0057] One is that the elevator running direction is downward:

[0058] If the floor of the call signal is the same as or below the user's binding floor, the face recognition device sends an open floor instruction to inform the elevator control system to open the public floor permission, the user manually triggers the physical public floor button on the panel of the operating box, the operating box directly sends a registration floor instruction to the selected public floor button to the elevator control system, then the elevator control system receives the registration floor instruction and registers the public floor, and then controls the elevator to stop at the public floor according to the registered public floor;

[0059] If the floor of the call signal is above the user's binding floor, the face recognition device sends a registration floor instruction to automatically register the binding floor, and sends an open floor instruction to inform the elevator control system to open the public floor permission; if the user wants to reach the destination floor which is a public floor, the user needs to manually trigger the physical public floor button on the panel of the operating box, and the operating box directly sends a registration floor instruction to the selected public floor button to the elevator control system; after completing the floor registration, the elevator control system controls the elevator to stop at the registered floor in sequence.

[0060] Second, the running direction of the elevator is upward:

[0061] If the floor of the call signal is below the user's binding floor, the face recognition device sends a registration floor instruction to automatically register the binding floor, and sends an open floor instruction to inform the elevator control system to open the public floor permission; if the user wants to reach the destination floor which is a public floor, the user needs to manually trigger the physical public floor button on the panel of the operating box, and the operating box directly sends a registration floor instruction to the selected public floor button to the elevator control system; after completing the floor registration, the elevator control system controls the elevator to stop at the registered floor in sequence.

[0062] If the floor of the call signal is the same as or above the user's binding floor, the face recognition device sends an open floor instruction to inform the elevator control system to open the public floor permission, the user manually triggers the physical public floor button on the panel of the operating box, the operating box directly sends a registration floor instruction to the selected public floor button to the elevator control system, then the elevator control system receives the registration floor instruction and registers the public floor, and then controls the elevator to stop at the public floor according to the registered public floor.

[0073] The embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that the realization process of how to apply technical means to solve technical problems and achieve technical effects of the present application can be fully understood and implemented.

[0074] Figure 1 The principle diagram of the face recognition elevator call control system of the embodiment provided by the present application; Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the elevator operation box used is shown, which is a standard operation box, including an operation box panel and a face recognition automatic registration intelligent terminal. It needs to be particularly emphasized that the operation box used in the embodiment is a standard operation box, and compared with the traditional operation box, the floor buttons on the operation box panel for registering the destination floor only include public floor buttons. The embodiment shows three public floors of 1st floor, -1st floor and -2nd floor. Of course, the public floor can also be 10th floor, 15th floor, etc. This kind of elevator operation box does not need to set one-to-one corresponding floor buttons according to the floor, is not limited by the floor height, is suitable for any building using elevators, and its advantages mainly reflect in the production and manufacturing process and cost, the failure rate and maintenance cost during use, public health, property management and other aspects.

[0075] The facial recognition automatic registration smart terminal used firstly has facial recognition function, which is used to realize facial recognition and permission verification. It also interacts with the server for data and communicates with the elevator control system (sending registration floor instructions, floor access authorization instructions, etc.).

[0076] The elevator control system is connected to the facial recognition automatic registration smart terminal and controls the elevator operation according to the permission verification results and instructions of the facial recognition automatic registration smart terminal.

[0077] The first terminal used is the registered user terminal (i.e., the resident terminal), which interacts with the server for data exchange;

[0078] The second terminal used is the administrator terminal, which interacts with the server to review the authorization floor application from the server. After the review is approved, the user's first permission is generated and stored on the server. The first permission refers to the access permission to multiple floors.

[0079] The third terminal is a visitor terminal, which connects to the first terminal through social software such as WeChat and QQ, and interacts with the server for data.

[0080] The message middleware used serves as an intermediary component for transmitting notification messages from the server to the first terminal and the smart terminal with automatic facial recognition registration.

[0081] Specifically, this embodiment uses a mobile phone equipped with an elevator management system as the first terminal. This system is used for user registration and can record facial information. It has functions for editing authorized floor requests and binding floor requests, and interacts with the server. Specifically, it transmits the edited authorized floor requests, binding floor requests, and facial information to the server. The floor selection range for the binding floor request is within the range of the authorized floor requests. The server generates a second permission based on the binding floor request and synchronizes this second permission to the first terminal and the facial recognition device. The second permission refers to the stopping permission for a specific floor. After completing user registration, the user can directly use facial recognition to ride the elevator.

[0082] The first terminal (elevator management system) also has a temporary destination floor selection function. Selecting this function will display a pop-up window on the first terminal. Figure 6 The virtual button selection interface shown contains virtual elevator buttons corresponding to each floor. Users select their destination floor using these virtual elevator buttons. After selection, users click the "Confirm Now Take the Elevator" button to send the destination floor information to the server. The server then sends the received destination floor information to the facial recognition automatic registration smart terminal via middleware. The facial recognition automatic registration smart terminal sends a registration command to the elevator control system based on the received destination floor information. The elevator control system then controls the elevator to run to the destination floor.

[0083] In addition, the first terminal (the elevator management system) also has an access card generation function. Specifically, the first terminal can generate an access card and send it to the third terminal (the applet) in the form of an applet through a social software. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, the third terminal receives the access card, and after opening, the information in the access card can be seen, including the access destination floor, and the selection range of the access destination floor is limited to the authorized floor. The visitor can take the elevator by clicking the "now confirm taking the elevator" key in the access card.

[0084] Compared with face recognition taking the elevator, taking the elevator through the temporary destination floor selection function of the first terminal and taking the elevator through the access card are both time-effective and invalid after the elevator stops at the destination floor.

[0085] Based on the above-mentioned face recognition call control system, the application also provides a taking elevator method, which comprises the following steps:

[0086] Step 1. A new user opens the elevator management system through the first terminal, then registers and logs in;

[0087] Step 2. Enter face information;

[0088] Step 3. Edit the authorized floor application and submit it to the server, and the administrator audits the user's authorized floor application on the second terminal. After the audit is passed, the first permission of the user is generated and stored in the server, wherein the first permission refers to the access permission to multiple floors;

[0089] Step 4. The new user edits the binding floor application in the elevator management system, and the server gives the user the second permission according to the binding floor application and synchronizes the second permission to the first terminal and the face recognition device, wherein the second permission refers to the stop permission to a certain floor, and the floor selection range of the binding floor application is within the floor range of the authorized floor application;

[0090] The above steps 1-4 are the pre-operation for the user to take the elevator for the first time using the control system. After the above operation is completed, the new user becomes a registered user.

[0091] For registered users, the process of taking the elevator by face recognition is as shown in the figure, which specifically includes: Figure 3

[0092] Step 5. The user calls the elevator, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the calling floor;

[0093] Step 6. The user enters the car, then interacts with the face recognition automatic registration intelligent terminal, the face recognition automatic registration intelligent terminal collects the user's face information and recognizes successfully;

[0094] ​Step 7. After the user is identified by the face recognition, the face recognition device compares the user's binding floor information with the floor information of the call signal, and determines whether to automatically register the binding floor according to the comparison result;

[0095] According to the running direction of the elevator, it includes two cases:

[0096] First, the running direction of the elevator is downward:

[0097] If the floor of the call signal is the same as or below the user's binding floor, the face recognition automatically registers the smart terminal to send an open floor instruction to the elevator control system to open the public floor permission. The user manually triggers the physical public floor button on the panel of the operating box to send a registration floor instruction to the elevator control system, and then the elevator control system receives the registration floor instruction and registers the public floor. Then, the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the public floor and stop at the public floor according to the registered public floor.

[0098] For example, the elevator is running downward, the user's binding floor is the seventh floor, and the user is located on the fifth floor. The user enters and completes face recognition. At this time, the elevator control system only opens the public floor, and the user manually triggers the public floor button to register the destination floor. The elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the registered public floor.

[0099] If the floor of the call signal is above the user's binding floor, the face recognition automatically registers the smart terminal to send a registration floor instruction to automatically register the binding floor, and sends an open floor instruction to the elevator control system to open the public floor permission. If the user needs to reach the public floor, the user needs to manually trigger the physical public floor button on the panel of the operating box to send a registration floor instruction to the elevator control system. After completing the floor registration, the elevator control system controls the elevator to stop at the registered floor in the order of the registered floor.

[0100] For example, the elevator is running downward, the user's binding floor is the seventh floor, and the user is located on the eighth floor. The user enters and completes face recognition. At this time, the elevator control system opens the public floor permission and automatically registers the binding floor. If the user needs to reach the public floor, the user needs to manually trigger the public floor button to register the destination floor. The elevator control system controls the elevator to reach and stop at the registered floor in the order of the registered floor.

[0101] Second, the running direction of the elevator is upward:

[0102] If the floor of the call signal is below the user's binding floor, the face recognition automatic registration intelligent terminal sends a registration floor instruction to automatically register the binding floor and sends an open floor instruction to notify the elevator control system to open the public floor permission; if the user's destination floor is a public floor, the user needs to manually trigger the physical public floor button on the panel of the operating box, and the operating box directly sends a registration floor instruction to the selected public floor button to the elevator control system; after completing the floor registration, the elevator control system controls the elevator to stop at the registered floor in sequence.

[0103] For example, the elevator is ascending, the user's binding floor is the seventh floor, and the person is on the fifth floor. The user enters and completes face recognition, at which time the elevator control system opens the public floor permission and automatically registers the binding floor. If the user needs to reach a public floor (the public floor is not limited to a certain number of floors below, but can also be located above, such as community canteens, public conference rooms, etc.), the user needs to manually trigger the public floor button to register the destination floor, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to reach and stop at the registered floor in sequence.

[0104] If the floor of the call signal is on the same floor as the user's binding floor or above, at which time the face recognition automatic registration intelligent terminal sends an open floor instruction to notify the elevator control system to open the public floor permission, the user manually triggers the physical public floor button on the panel of the operating box, and the operating box directly sends a registration floor instruction to the selected public floor button to the elevator control system, then the elevator control system receives the registration floor instruction and registers the public floor, and then controls the elevator to run to the public floor and stop.

[0105] For example, the elevator is ascending, the user's binding floor is the seventh floor, and the person is on the eighth floor. The user enters and completes face recognition, at which time the elevator control system only opens the public floor, and the user needs to manually trigger the public floor button to register the destination floor, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the registered public floor and stop.

[0106] In addition to taking the elevator through face recognition, registered users can also directly take the elevator through the first terminal, which is roughly as shown in Figure 4 After logging in to the elevator management system, select the temporary destination floor selection function, at which time a virtual elevator button interface as shown in Figure 5 will pop up. This interface contains virtual floor buttons corresponding to all floors, and the user can select any floor for registration. This way supports the user to reach any floor, but also as a way for registered users to temporarily access non-binding floors. Specifically, the user takes the elevator according to the following steps:

[0107] Step 9. The user calls the elevator, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the call floor;

[0108] Step 10. The user enters the car, selects the temporary destination floor I in the virtual elevator button interface of the first terminal, and then clicks the "Confirm now take the elevator" key to send the elevator request to the server;

[0109] Step 11. After the server receives the temporary destination floor I information, it sends a message to the message middleware, which sends a registration floor message for the temporary destination floor I to the face recognition automatic registration intelligent terminal. After receiving the registration floor message, the face recognition device sends a registration instruction I for the temporary destination floor I to the elevator control system;

[0110] Step 12. The elevator control system receives the registration instruction I and registers the temporary destination floor I, and controls the elevator to stop at the floor corresponding to the temporary destination floor I after running to the temporary destination floor I;

[0111] Step 13. The user exits the car and completes the ride.

[0112] In this ride approach, the elevator automatically invalidates the temporary destination floor I selected by the first terminal after stopping at the temporary destination floor I. Compared with the existing method of modifying the bound floor to reach other non-public floors, this method of changing the floor does not require changing the registration information (bound floor), and is invalidated after the elevator stops at the registered floor, which does not affect the face recognition ride process and does not affect the next use of the first terminal to send an elevator request, greatly facilitating the user's different ride needs.

[0113] The above describes two ride methods for registered users, but there are also temporary ride situations for visitors in reality. In this ride method, an access card ride method is also provided as shown in Figure 6 In this method, a registered user can generate an access card as shown in Figure 7 through the first terminal, and send it to the third terminal (the holder of the third terminal is a visitor) in the form of a mini program through WeChat; the above-mentioned access card includes a temporary destination floor II, which is within the floor range of the authorized floor application. In this method, the display form of the access card on the third terminal is as shown in Figure 8 After clicking the access card, its form is as shown in Figure 9 The visitor will ride according to the following steps using the access card:

[0114] Step a. Call the elevator, and the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the call floor;

[0115] Step b. The visitor enters the car while opening the access card, and then sends an elevator request to the server by clicking the "Confirm now take the elevator" key;

[0116] Step c. After receiving the information of the temporary destination floor II from the third terminal, the server sends a message to the message middleware, the message middleware sends a registration floor message for the temporary destination floor II to the face recognition device, and then the face recognition device sends a registration instruction II for the temporary destination floor II to the elevator control system;

[0117] Step d. The elevator control system receives and registers the registration instruction II, and controls the elevator to stop at the floor corresponding to the temporary destination floor II according to the registration instruction II;

[0118] Step e. The holder of the third terminal gets out of the car and completes the ride.

[0119] Therefore, the visitor can obtain the ride permission through the access card sent by the registered user and complete the ride without downloading the ride management system and registering as a member, thereby eliminating the disadvantage of "user discrimination" existing in the face recognition ride system. In the embodiment, the access card received by the visitor only supports one-way use, and the access card is invalid after the elevator stops at the temporary destination floor II. Therefore, the registered user needs to share the access card when inviting and accompanying the visitor.
