Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of elevator technology, and in particular to a multi-mode elevator dispatch control method, device, system and storage medium. Background Technology
[0002] With the rise in pet ownership, pets are increasingly seen riding elevators in public places such as shopping malls, residential buildings, and office buildings. Passengers who are unwilling to ride elevators with their pets due to fear or allergies may experience discomfort when riding with their pets. For passengers bringing pets on elevators, the close and confined space of an elevator increases the risk of pets injuring each other and leading to unexpected conflicts.
[0003] In the current elevator dispatching method under the pet prompt system, during the elevator response operation, since the destination floor of the elevator call command initiated from outside the hall is unknown, in order to avoid conflicts, the response to all possible conflicting elevator call commands is usually delayed. This results in low elevator dispatching efficiency, which in turn affects the elevator riding experience.
[0004] There is currently no effective solution to the problem of poor elevator experience when pet prompts are displayed in elevators. Summary of the Invention
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a multi-mode elevator dispatch control method, device, system, and storage medium that can improve the elevator riding experience when prompting for pets, in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems.
[0006] Firstly, this embodiment provides a multi-mode elevator dispatch control method, including:
[0007] After detecting that the current target instruction is triggered outside the hall, the type of the current target instruction is obtained; the type includes: passengers with pets and passengers who do not wish to travel with their pets;
[0008] If there is a target instruction that has already been responded to in the elevator, determine whether there is a preset conflict relationship between the current target instruction and the target instruction that has already been responded to, based on the type.
[0009] When the aforementioned conflict exists, based on the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command already responded to inside the car, the elevator is dispatched in a preset mode to respond to the current target command.
[0010] In some embodiments, the conflicting relationships include: a passenger traveling with a pet and a passenger who does not wish to travel with the pet, and / or multiple passengers traveling with pets that have conflicting relationships.
[0011] In some embodiments, the step of dispatching an elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target command based on the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command already responded to inside the car includes:
[0012] When the registration status of the target floor cannot be obtained, in the first preset mode, the elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until they are waiting for elevators in the running direction or changing direction, while the elevator dispatching logic group control responds to the current target command.
[0013] In some embodiments, the step of dispatching an elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target command based on the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command already responded to inside the car includes:
[0014] When the registration status of the destination floor cannot be obtained, in the second preset mode, the elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until the passenger enters the car after a preset time after the response is completed and all registered destination floors are reached. At the same time, the elevator dispatch logic group control dispatches elevators to respond to the current target command.
[0015] When the registration status of the destination floor cannot be obtained, in the third preset mode, the elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until the response is completed and the passenger enters the car and enters all the registered destination floors within a preset time period. At the same time, the elevator dispatch logic group control responds to the current target command.
[0016] In some embodiments, the step of dispatching an elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target command based on the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command already responded to inside the car includes:
[0017] When the registration information of the destination floor is obtained through elevator configuration, in the fourth preset mode, the elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until the passenger enters the destination floor of all target commands within the preset time period. At the same time, the elevator dispatch logic group control responds to the current target command.
[0018] In some embodiments, the step of dispatching an elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target command based on the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command already responded to inside the car includes:
[0019] When the registration status of the destination floor cannot be obtained, but the elevator is equipped with a pet detection function, in the fifth preset mode, the elevator with a responded target command is controlled to delay responding to the current target command until the pet is in the car. During this period, all registered destination floors in the running direction are dispatched in response to the current target command using the dispatch logic group control.
[0020] In some of these embodiments, it also includes:
[0021] The preset modes are superimposed, and the preset mode is switched when the corresponding conditions are met.
[0022] Secondly, this embodiment provides a multi-mode elevator dispatch control device, including:
[0023] The instruction triggering module is used to obtain the type of the current target instruction after detecting that the current target instruction is triggered outside the hall; the type includes: passengers with pets and passengers who do not wish to travel with pets;
[0024] The conflict detection module is used to determine, based on the type, whether there is a preset conflict relationship between the current target instruction and the already responded target instruction when there is a target instruction already responded to in the elevator.
[0025] The multi-mode elevator dispatch module is used to dispatch an elevator in response to the current target command in a preset mode when the conflict exists, based on the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command that has been responded to in the car.
[0026] Thirdly, this embodiment provides a multi-mode elevator dispatching control system, including: an outside-hall triggering device for at least one elevator, a pet alert device, and a multi-mode elevator dispatching control device as described in the second aspect;
[0027] The hall-outside triggering device is used by passengers outside the hall to trigger the current target command;
[0028] The pet alert device is used to alert pets both outside the hall and inside the sedan chair.
[0029] Fourthly, this embodiment provides a storage medium storing a computer program that, when executed by a processor, implements the multi-mode elevator control method described in the first aspect above.
[0030] Compared with related technologies, the multi-mode elevator dispatch control method, device, system, and storage medium provided in this embodiment, after detecting a current target instruction triggered outside the hall, obtains the type of the current target instruction; the type includes: passengers with pets and passengers who do not wish to ride with pets; if there is a target instruction that has already been responded to in the elevator, it determines whether there is a preset conflict relationship between the current target instruction and the responded target instruction based on the type; if there is a conflict relationship, it dispatches an elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target instruction according to the destination floor registration information of the responded target instruction in the car and the elevator configuration. Through this application, when a current target instruction is triggered, it is possible to determine whether there is a conflict relationship with a target instruction that has already been responded to in the elevator, and when a conflict relationship is determined, it selects the corresponding preset mode to dispatch an elevator in response to the current target instruction based on the multiple destination floor registration information of the responded target instruction and the elevator configuration, thereby improving dispatch efficiency and elevator experience, and solving the problem of poor elevator experience when the elevator provides pet alerts.

[0043] The method embodiments provided in this example can be executed on a terminal, computer, or similar computing device. For example, it can run on a terminal. Figure 1 This is a hardware structure block diagram of the terminal of the multi-mode elevator dispatch control method in this embodiment. For example... Figure 1 As shown, a terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 Only one is shown in the diagram. A processor 102 and a memory 104 for storing data are also included. The processor 102 may be, but is not limited to, a microprocessor (MCU) or a programmable logic device (FPGA).

[0046] With the rise in pet ownership, pets are increasingly seen riding elevators in public places such as shopping malls, residential buildings, and office buildings. Passengers who are unwilling to ride elevators with their pets due to fear or allergies may experience discomfort when riding with their pets. For passengers bringing pets on elevators, the close and confined space of an elevator increases the risk of pets injuring each other and leading to unexpected conflicts.
[0047] In the current elevator dispatching method under the pet prompt system, during the elevator response operation, since the destination floor of the elevator call command initiated from outside the hall is unknown, in order to avoid conflicts, the response to all possible conflicting elevator call commands is usually delayed. This results in low elevator dispatching efficiency, which in turn affects the elevator riding experience.
[0048] This embodiment provides a multi-mode elevator dispatch control method. Figure 2 This is a flowchart of the multi-mode elevator dispatch control method in this embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0049] Step S210: After detecting that the current target instruction is triggered outside the hall, obtain the type of the current target instruction; the type includes: passengers with pets and passengers who do not wish to ride with pets.
[0050] Specifically, in the scenario of pet prompts in elevators, passengers waiting outside the elevator hall need to distinguish between regular instructions and target instructions. Target instructions include those triggered by passengers with pets and those triggered by passengers who do not wish to ride with their pets. The types of target instructions are correspondingly those for passengers with pets and passengers who do not wish to ride with their pets. Instructions triggered in other situations are regular instructions.
[0051] Regular commands and target commands can be distinguished based on trigger operations or function buttons. For example, trigger operations are based on the existing regular buttons on the elevator, including: triggering the up call button once indicates a regular command; triggering the up call button twice in a short period of time indicates a target command for passengers with pets; triggering the up call button continuously for 2 seconds indicates a target command for passengers who do not wish to ride with their pets; function buttons can be implemented through additional configured operating devices.
[0052] After detecting the triggering of the current target instruction outside the hall in real time, obtain relevant information such as the type and direction of the current target instruction (upward or downward).
[0053] Step S220: If there is a target instruction that has been responded to in the elevator, determine whether there is a preset conflict relationship between the current target instruction and the target instruction that has been responded to, based on the type.
[0054] Specifically, after detecting a current target command triggered outside the hall, if the elevator is idle or there is a previously responded regular command, the elevator dispatch logic will be used to dispatch elevators in groups based on the car's load, pet conditions, and direction of travel, and the current target command will be responded to.
[0055] If an elevator has already responded to a target instruction, it is necessary to further determine whether there is a conflict between the current target instruction and the responded target instruction. The determination is based on whether the passenger in the current target instruction registration information and the passenger in the responded target instruction registration information are conflicting parties. For example, if a passenger in the elevator is carrying a pet, meaning the elevator has already responded to a target instruction, and if the passenger who triggered the current target instruction registered information indicating they did not wish to ride with a pet, then a conflict exists.
[0056] If there is no conflict, the elevator dispatch logic will be used for group control and dispatch, and the current target command will be responded to.
[0057] Step S230: When a conflict exists, based on the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command already responded to in the car, dispatch an elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target command.
[0058] Specifically, when a command is triggered outside the elevator lobby, the destination floor for each command cannot be obtained. For a target command that has already been responded to, the passenger needs to register the destination floor and other relevant information inside the elevator car. However, considering the complexity of multiple passengers, passengers with regular commands and passengers with target commands riding together, and different elevator configurations, it is impossible to determine the passenger's destination floor registration information. Furthermore, in group control elevator dispatching, multiple elevators communicate to exchange data, and multiple elevators can respond to a certain command. Assuming that conflicting parties are not riding the same elevator, simply assigning the conflicting party to an idle elevator may not be the optimal solution.
[0059] Therefore, when a conflict is identified, during the call phase of the current target instruction, for elevators that have already responded to the target instruction, the possibility of that elevator responding to the current target instruction should be ruled out if it is near the departure floor picking up passengers but has not yet arrived at the departure floor. At the same time, according to the elevator dispatching logic algorithm, the group control dispatching responds to the current target instruction, other target instructions, and regular instructions. The response is achieved when the running direction and the car interior conditions meet the preset requirements and the passenger boarding conditions are met. The current target instruction outside the elevator hall is eliminated, reducing passenger waiting time and minimizing the risk of shared rides while improving elevator dispatching efficiency.
[0060] For elevators that have already responded to a target command, after arriving at the departure floor and picking up passengers, the elevator is dispatched according to the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration based on the previously responded target command. Furthermore, within each preset mode, elevators with previously responded target commands delay their response to the current target command. Simultaneously, using an elevator dispatching logic algorithm, elevators are group-controlled to respond to the current target command, other target commands, and regular commands, reducing passenger waiting time, minimizing the risk of shared rides, and improving elevator dispatching efficiency.
[0061] Through the above steps, when the current target instruction is triggered, it can be determined whether there is a conflict with the target instruction that the elevator has already responded to. If a conflict is found, based on the multiple destination floor registration information of the responded target instruction and the elevator configuration, the corresponding preset mode is selected for elevator dispatch. In each preset mode, the elevators with responded target instructions are controlled to delay responding to the current target instruction. At the same time, the elevator dispatching logic algorithm is used to control the dispatching of elevators to respond to all instructions. Compared with the prior art, this embodiment considers the coexistence of regular instructions and target instructions. While avoiding conflicts when providing pet prompts, the preset mode maximizes the efficiency of elevator dispatching, thereby improving the elevator riding experience and solving the problem of poor elevator riding experience when the elevator provides pet prompts.
[0062] In some embodiments, conflicting relationships include: a passenger with a pet and a passenger who does not wish to travel with the pet, and / or multiple passengers with pets that have conflicting relationships.
[0063] Specifically, in one application scenario, the conflicting parties are passengers traveling with pets and passengers unwilling to travel with pets. In another application scenario, multiple passengers traveling with conflicting pets are each other's conflicting parties. Furthermore, considering that pet groups include various pet types, the conflicting relationships can be further categorized by specific pet type to establish more refined conflicting relationships.
[0064] In the following embodiments, for elevators that have responded to target commands, after receiving the corresponding passenger, five preset modes are provided to dispatch the elevator to respond to the current target command based on the passenger's registration information on the destination floor inside the car and the elevator configuration.
[0065] In some application scenarios, passengers may not register their destination floor because they have already registered it in the elevator, or they may have registered but the destination floor cannot be accurately obtained, resulting in the inability to obtain the destination floor registration information. At the same time, the elevator does not have any additional configuration. In response to the destination floor registration situation in this application scenario, the following embodiments provide three preset modes.
[0066] In some of these embodiments, when the registration status of the destination floor cannot be obtained, in the first preset mode, the elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until they are waiting in the running direction or changing direction, while the elevator dispatching logic group control responds to the current target command.
[0067] Specifically, the system controls elevators that have already responded to a target command to delay responding to the current target command, eliminating the possibility of this elevator waiting or changing direction in the direction of the already responded target command before responding to the current target command. In the first preset mode, to prevent conflicts, all floors in the elevator's direction of travel are considered as possible destination floors for the current target command. Only when the elevator is waiting or changing direction in the direction of travel can the already responded target command be ensured to have ended. At the same time, based on the time-optimal or efficiency-optimal principle of elevator dispatching logic, the system groups and dispatches elevators to respond to the current target command, other target commands, and regular commands.
[0068] In this mode, the elevator configuration does not require additional in-car triggering devices and in-car identification devices. The configuration is simple, the amount of data processing is small, and the response is fast. It can be achieved by relying on the elevator's existing in-car registration device.
[0069] In some of these embodiments, when the registration status of the destination floor cannot be obtained, in the second preset mode, the elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until the passenger enters the car after a preset time and all registered destination floors are reached. At the same time, the elevator dispatch logic group control dispatches elevators to respond to the current target command.
[0070] Specifically, the elevators that have already responded to a target command will delay responding to the current target command, eliminating the possibility that the elevator will respond to the current target command before all registered destination floors have been reached after the preset time when passengers have entered the car. In the second preset mode, to prevent conflicts, all registered destination floors in the elevator's direction of travel are considered as possible destination floors for the current target command. This process continues until all registered destination floors have been reached after the preset time when passengers have entered the car, ensuring that the previously responded target command has ended. Simultaneously, based on the time-optimal or efficiency-optimal dispatching logic, the group control dispatches elevators to respond to the current target command, other target commands, and regular commands.
[0071] For example, if a passenger has been inside the car for a period of time and there are three destination floors (5th, 6th, and 9th) registered, which may be the destination floors for regular instructions, current target instructions, and other target instructions, then all three registered destination floors will be regarded as the destination floors for the current target instructions.
[0072] In this mode, the elevator configuration does not require additional in-car triggering and in-car identification devices. The configuration is simple, the data processing volume is small, and the response is fast. It can be achieved by relying on the existing in-car registration device of the elevator. By default, passengers will be registered after entering the car. However, if the same destination floor has already been reached, it will not be registered again. Compared with the first preset mode, by treating all destination floors registered in the car as the destination floor of the current target instruction, the range of destination floors is further narrowed, and the dispatching efficiency is improved.
[0073] In some of these embodiments, when the registration status of the destination floor cannot be obtained, in the third preset mode, the elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until the response is completed and the passenger enters the car and enters all registered destination floors within a preset time period. At the same time, the elevator dispatch logic group control responds to the current target command.
[0074] Specifically, elevators with already responded target commands will delay responding to the current target command, eliminating the possibility that the elevator will respond to the current target command before all registered destination floors within a preset time period after the passenger has entered the car. In the third preset mode, it is assumed that a passenger will register a destination floor after entering the car for a certain period of time, even if the same destination floor has already been registered. To prevent conflicts, all destination floors registered by the elevator within a preset time after the passenger enters are considered as possible destination floors for the current target command. Only after responding to all registered destination floors within the preset time period after the passenger has entered the car can the already responded target command be ensured to have ended. At the same time, based on the time-optimal or efficiency-optimal elevator dispatching logic, the group control dispatches elevators to respond to the current target command, other target commands, and regular commands.
[0075] For example, it is assumed that all registered destination floors within a preset time period after a passenger enters the car are likely to be the destination floors of their current target instruction. Excluding destination floors registered before and after the preset time period, if there are two car registrations before the preset time period (floors 12 and 13), two car registrations within the preset time period (floors 6 and 9), and one car registration after the preset time period (floor 11), then floors 6 and 9 are considered to be possible destination floors of the current target instruction.
[0076] In this mode, the elevator configuration does not require additional in-car triggering and in-car identification devices. The configuration is simple, the amount of data processing is small, and the response is fast. It can be achieved by relying on the existing in-car registration device of the elevator. However, it is more dependent on the active registration of passengers. Compared with the second preset mode, by taking all the destination floors registered in the car within the preset time period as the destination floors of the current target instruction, the range of destination floors is further narrowed and the dispatch efficiency is improved.
[0077] In some application scenarios, by additional configuration of the elevator, it is possible to obtain the destination floor registration information of the current target instruction inside the car or the pet information inside the car. For this application scenario, the following embodiments provide two preset modes.
[0078] In some of these embodiments, when the destination floor registration information is obtained through elevator configuration, in the fourth preset mode, elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until the passenger enters the destination floor of all target commands within a preset time period inside the car. At the same time, elevator dispatch logic group control dispatches elevators to respond to the current target command.
[0079] Specifically, elevators with already responded target commands will delay responding to the current target command, eliminating the possibility that the elevator will respond to the current target command before completing responses to all target commands within a preset time period after the passenger enters the car. In the fourth preset mode, it is assumed that the passenger will register the destination floor after entering the car for a certain period of time, even if the same destination floor has already been registered. To prevent conflicts, the destination floors of all target commands registered by the elevator within a preset time after the passenger enters are considered as possible destination floors for the current target command. Only after responding to all target commands registered within the preset time period after the passenger enters the car can the already responded target command be ensured to have ended. At the same time, based on the time-optimal or efficiency-optimal elevator dispatching logic, the group control dispatches elevators to respond to the current target command, other target commands, and regular commands.
[0080] For example, the destination layer of a passenger's registered target instruction within a preset time period is considered the destination layer of their current target instruction. Excluding destination layers registered before and after the preset time period, if there are two regular registrations in the car on the 12th and 13th floors before the preset time period, two regular registrations in the car on the 6th and 9th floors and one target instruction registration in the car on the 6th floor within the preset time period, and one registration in the car on the 11th floor after the preset time period, then the destination layer of the current target instruction is considered to be the 6th floor.
[0081] In this mode, in addition to the existing in-car registration device, an in-car triggering device is required, but no additional in-car identification device is needed. The data processing volume is relatively large. Passengers register their destination floor and pet notification function (such as a button indicating they are traveling with a pet or do not wish to ride with a pet) through the in-car triggering device, thus completing the registration for the current target floor. However, this mode relies heavily on passengers' active registration. Compared to the preset modes mentioned above, this mode can obtain the registration information inside the elevator, eliminating the need to assume sufficient margin to prevent conflicts and improving dispatch efficiency.
[0082] In some of these embodiments, when the registration status of the destination floor cannot be obtained, but the elevator is equipped with a pet detection function, in the fifth preset mode, the elevators that have responded to the target command are controlled to delay responding to the current target command until the pet is in the car. During this period, all registered destination floors in the running direction are dispatched in response to the current target command using the dispatch logic group control.
[0083] Specifically, the elevator that has already responded to a target command will delay responding to the current target command, eliminating the possibility that the elevator will respond to the current target command before all registered destination floors in its direction of travel have been reached while a pet is detected inside the elevator. In the fifth preset mode, it is not necessary to confirm when the passenger registers after entering the car. To prevent conflicts, all floors in the direction of travel during the period when a pet is detected inside the elevator are considered as possible destination floors for the current target command. Only after responding to the destination floors of all registered target commands within the preset time period when the passenger enters the car can the already responded target command be ensured to have ended. At the same time, based on the time-optimal or efficiency-optimal elevator dispatching logic, the group control dispatches elevators to respond to the current target command, other target commands, and regular commands.
[0084] In this mode, in addition to the existing in-car registration device, an in-car identification device is also required, but no additional in-car triggering device is needed. The in-car identification device enables pet detection, which, compared to the preset mode, can obtain pet-related information within the elevator without assuming sufficient margin to prevent conflicts, thus improving dispatch efficiency.
[0085] In some embodiments, the method further includes:
[0086] The preset modes are stacked, and the corresponding preset mode is switched when the corresponding conditions are met.
[0087] Specifically, depending on the data processing capabilities of the elevator system and the elevator configuration, different preset modes or a combination of preset modes can be selected. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the preset mode overlay and switching in this embodiment. Figure 3 The middle arrow indicates switching from one preset mode to another, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the first preset mode can be used alone, or, given the uncertainty of whether the passenger's destination registration is timely after entering the car, it can be executed first, followed by other preset modes. When the second preset mode is superimposed, it can be switched directly when a registered destination exists in the car; when the third preset mode is superimposed, it can be switched directly when a registered destination exists in the car within a preset time period; when the fourth preset mode is superimposed, it can be switched directly when a target instruction's destination exists in the car; when the fifth preset mode is superimposed, it can be switched directly when a pet is detected in the car.
[0088] like Figure 3As shown, the fourth preset mode can be superimposed on the fifth preset mode. When no pet is detected in the car, the car can be directly switched from the fifth preset mode to the fourth preset mode. The third preset mode can be superimposed on the fourth preset mode. When there is no target layer of the target instruction in the car, the car can be switched from the fourth preset mode to the third preset mode. The third preset mode can be superimposed on the third preset mode. When there is no target layer registered within the preset time period in the car, the car can be switched from the third preset mode to the second preset mode.
[0089] The present embodiment will now be described and illustrated through preferred embodiments.
[0090] Figure 4 This is a flowchart of the multi-mode elevator dispatch control method in this embodiment, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps:
[0091] Step S410: Real-time detection of whether the current target command is triggered outside the hall.
[0092] When a trigger is detected, proceed to step S420; when no trigger is detected, proceed to step S450.
[0093] Step S420: Detect whether the elevator has a responded target command.
[0094] If it exists, proceed to step S430; if it does not exist, proceed to step S450.
[0095] Step S430: Determine whether there is a preset conflict relationship between the current target instruction and the already responded target instruction.
[0096] If a conflict exists, proceed to step S440; if no conflict exists, proceed to step S450.
[0097] Step S440: Determine whether the elevator that has responded to the target command has reached the departure floor of the target command and whether the elevator ride requirements are met.
[0098] The requirements for using elevators include the car's load capacity, pet restrictions, and direction of travel.
[0099] If the departure layer has been reached and the requirements are met, proceed to step S441; if the departure layer has not been reached or the requirements are not met, proceed to step S442.
[0100] Step S441: Based on the destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command already responded to in the car, dispatch the elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target command.
[0101] Step S442: Eliminate the possibility that the elevator is responding to the current target command while it is near the departure floor or has not yet reached the departure floor, and dispatch the elevator according to the elevator dispatch logic.
[0102] In step S450, the elevator dispatching logic is used to respond to the current target command, other target commands, and regular commands in the group control dispatching system.
[0103] This embodiment can determine whether there is a conflict with the target command that the elevator has already responded to when the current target command is triggered. If a conflict is found, the corresponding preset mode is selected for dispatching the elevator based on the multiple destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command that has already responded. In each preset mode, the elevators with the target command that has already responded are controlled to delay responding to the current target command. At the same time, the elevator dispatching logic algorithm is used to control the dispatching of elevators to respond to all commands. This embodiment considers the coexistence of regular commands and target commands. While avoiding conflicts when pet prompts are used, the preset mode maximizes the efficiency of dispatching the elevator, thereby improving the elevator riding experience and solving the problem of poor elevator riding experience when the elevator is prompting pets.
[0104] It should be noted that the steps shown in the above process or in the flowchart of the accompanying figures can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions, and although a logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than that shown here.
[0105] This embodiment also provides an apparatus for implementing the above embodiments and preferred embodiments; details already described will not be repeated. The terms "module," "unit," "subunit," etc., used below refer to combinations of software and / or hardware that perform a predetermined function. Although the apparatus described in the following embodiments is preferably implemented in software, hardware implementation, or a combination of software and hardware, is also possible and contemplated.
[0106] Figure 5 This is a structural block diagram of the multi-mode elevator dispatch control device in this embodiment, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the device includes:
[0107] The instruction triggering module 10 is used to obtain the type of the current target instruction after detecting that the current target instruction is triggered outside the hall; the type includes: passengers with pets and passengers who do not wish to ride with pets.
[0108] The conflict detection module 20 is used to determine whether there is a preset conflict relationship between the current target instruction and the already responded target instruction, based on the type, when there is a target instruction already responded to in the elevator.
[0109] The multi-mode elevator dispatch module 30 is used to dispatch an elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target command when there is a conflict, based on the target floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command that has been responded to in the car.
[0110] The device provided in this embodiment can determine whether there is a conflict with the target command that the elevator has already responded to when the current target command is triggered. If a conflict is found, the device selects a corresponding preset mode for dispatching the elevator based on the multiple destination floor registration information and elevator configuration of the target command that has already responded. In each preset mode, the elevators that have already responded to the target command delay their response to the current target command. At the same time, the elevator dispatching logic algorithm is used to control the dispatching of elevators to respond to all commands. This embodiment considers the coexistence of regular commands and target commands. While avoiding conflicts when providing pet prompts, the preset modes maximize the efficiency of dispatching the elevator, thereby improving the riding experience and solving the problem of poor riding experience when the elevator provides pet prompts.
[0111] It should be noted that the above modules can be functional modules or program modules, and can be implemented through software or hardware. For modules implemented through hardware, the above modules can reside in the same processor; or the above modules can be located in different processors in any combination.
[0112] This embodiment provides a multi-mode elevator dispatching control system. Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of a multi-mode elevator dispatch control system. The system includes: an outside triggering device for at least one elevator, a pet alert device, and the multi-mode elevator dispatch control device described in the above embodiments.
[0113] The hall-outside triggering device is used for passenger registration outside the hall and to trigger the current target command;
[0114] Pet alert device, used to alert pets both outside the hall and inside the sedan chair.
[0115] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, a multi-mode elevator dispatch control system can include hall-exterior triggering devices and pet alert devices for multiple elevators, as well as a multi-mode elevator dispatch control device. Communication is established between the elevator control systems of each elevator for data exchange, and all elevators operate under a unified group control and scheduling scenario controlled by the multi-mode elevator dispatch control device. An in-car registration device is a standard configuration for each elevator, allowing passengers to register their destination floor inside the car.
[0116] The hall-outside triggering device is used to provide triggering instructions to passengers waiting for the elevator outside the hall. These instructions can take the form of a passenger's triggering operation corresponding to a specific target instruction or a regular instruction.
[0117] The pet alert device is used in elevator pet alert scenarios, displaying pet-related information inside the elevator car and outside the hall to provide pet alerts.
[0118] The elevator dispatch control device is used to obtain the type of the current target command after detecting that the current target command is triggered outside the hall. The type includes: passengers with pets and passengers who do not wish to ride with their pets. If there is a target command that has already been responded to in the elevator, the device determines whether there is a preset conflict relationship between the current target command and the target command that has already been responded to, based on the type. If there is a conflict relationship, the device dispatches the elevator in a preset mode to respond to the current target command according to the destination floor registration information of the target command that has already been responded to in the car and the elevator configuration.
[0119] In some of these embodiments, Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the multi-mode elevator control system in this embodiment, as shown below. Figure 7 As shown, in the fourth preset mode, in Figure 6 In addition to the above, each elevator is also equipped with an in-car triggering device. The in-car triggering device is used for passengers to register their destination floor and for pet notification functions (such as a button for passengers with pets or those who do not wish to ride with their pets), thus realizing the registration of the destination floor for the current target instruction.
[0120] In some of these embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, in the fifth preset mode, in Figure 6 In addition to this, each elevator is also equipped with an in-car identification device to detect pets and obtain information about pets inside the elevator.
[0121] In addition, the elevator's own elevator control system can also be used to collect elevator-related operating information, trigger commands, and other information, and send relevant operating commands after certain logical processing, including triggering the pet reminder device and receiving various target commands and routine commands.
[0122] It should be noted that the system provided in this embodiment can be implemented independently of the elevator's own control system, or it can be implemented by adding the control methods in the above embodiment to the elevator's own control system in order to save costs.
[0123] This embodiment also provides a computer device, including a memory and a processor, wherein the memory stores a computer program and the processor is configured to run the computer program to perform the steps in any of the above method embodiments.
[0124] Optionally, the computer device may further include a transmission device and an input / output device, wherein the transmission device is connected to the processor and the input / output device is connected to the processor.
