[0033] The following is a detailed description with reference to the accompanying drawings. The repeated description is appropriately simplified or omitted. In each figure, the same reference numeral represents the same part or a corresponding part.

[0034] Implementation method 1.

[0035] Figure 1 1 is a diagram showing an example of an elevator system according to Embodiment 1. The elevator system includes an elevator device 1 , a server 2 , a terminal 3 for an operator, and a terminal 4 for a manager.

[0036] The elevator device 1 is connected to the server 2 via the network 5. As an example, the network 5 includes a dedicated line. The server 2 is installed in a remote information center. The server 2 communicates with a plurality of elevator devices. The elevator device 1 is an example of an elevator device with which the server 2 communicates.

[0037] The operator is a professional technician who performs inspection of the elevator device 1. The operator holds a terminal 3. The operator uses the terminal 3 to perform inspection of the elevator device 1. The terminal 3 can communicate with the elevator device 1 by wire or wirelessly. As an example, the terminal 3 is a smart phone. The terminal 3 can also be a tablet terminal. The terminal 3 can also be a dedicated terminal designed for inspection of the elevator device 1.

[0038] The manager manages the elevator device 1. As an example, the manager is the owner of a building equipped with the elevator device 1. The manager has a terminal 4. The terminal 4 can be connected to the server 2 via a network 6. As an example, the network 6 includes an Internet line. Figure 1 The example in which the terminal 4 is a notebook computer is shown. The terminal 4 may be a smartphone or a tablet terminal.

[0039] The elevator device 1 includes a car 11 and a counterweight 12. The car 11 moves up and down in a hoistway 13. The car 11 and the counterweight 12 are suspended in the hoistway 13 by ropes 14. The counterweight 12 moves up and down in the hoistway 13 in a direction opposite to the direction in which the car 11 moves.

[0040] The rope 14 is wound around a traction machine 15. The traction machine 15 drives the car 11. The control device 16 controls the traction machine 15. That is, the movement of the car 11 is controlled by the control device 16. The control device 16 also controls the equipment provided in the car 11.

[0041] As an example, the hoisting machine 15 and the control device 16 are installed in a machine room above the hoistway 13. The hoisting machine 15 and the control device 16 may also be installed in the hoistway 13. When the hoisting machine 15 is installed in the hoistway 13, the hoisting machine 15 may be arranged at the top of the hoistway 13 or in the bottom pit of the hoistway 13.

[0042] The monitoring device 17 is connected to the control device 16. The monitoring device 17 has a function for the elevator device 1 to communicate with external devices. The external devices include the server 2. That is, the monitoring device 17 communicates with the server 2 via the network 5.

[0043] The car 11 is provided with an imaging device 18 and a lamp 19. The imaging device 18 communicates with the monitoring device 17 by wire or wirelessly. Figure 1 An example is shown in which the camera device 18 is provided on the downward surface of the car 11. In this case, the camera device 18 is used to capture an image of a position below the car 11. Alternatively, the camera device 18 may be provided above the car 11. As another example, the camera device 18 may be provided both above the car 11 and below the car 11. The lamp 19 is provided on the car 11 in such a manner as to emit light in a direction in which the camera device 18 captures images. Alternatively, when the camera device 18 is retrofitted to an existing elevator device 11, if a socket for a light bulb is already provided in the car 11, power is supplied to the camera device 18 and power is supplied to the lamp 19 from the socket.

[0044] Figure 2 This is a diagram for explaining the functions of the elevator system. The server 2 includes a storage unit 21. The terminal 3 includes a display 31, an input device 32, a generation unit 33, a creation unit 34, and an output unit 35. The input device 32 is a device for the operator to input information. The display 31 and the input device 32 may also be an integrated device of a touch panel type. The terminal 4 includes a display 41, an input device 42, a camera device 43, a communication unit 44, and a display control unit 45. The input device 42 is a device for the manager to input information. The display 41 and the input device 42 may also be an integrated device of a touch panel type.

[0045] The control device 16 includes an operation control unit 51, a shooting control unit 52, an acquisition unit 53, and an abnormality detection unit 54. The operation control unit 51 performs automatic operation, controlled operation, and recovery operation. Automatic operation is an operation for causing the car 11 to respond to registered elevator calls in sequence. Controlled operation is an operation for evacuating passengers in the car 11 immediately after an earthquake. Recovery operation is an operation for determining whether recovery is possible. Recovery operation is performed by actually moving the car 11 after an earthquake. The monitoring device 17 includes a storage unit 61 and a communication unit 62.

[0046] The operator regularly performs inspection of the elevator device 1. When the operator performs inspection of the elevator device 1, the operator uses the terminal 3 to create a report 30 for providing to the management staff. In the following content, the report related to the inspection is marked with a reference numeral 30a to distinguish it from other reports. That is, when the operator performs inspection of the elevator device 1, the operator creates a report 30a related to the inspection.

[0047] See also below Figures 3 to 6 , the operation when performing inspection of the elevator device 1 is described in detail. Figure 3 This is a flowchart showing an example of a procedure that an operator performs when inspecting the elevator apparatus 1 .

[0048] While the elevator apparatus 1 is in automatic operation, power is not supplied to the imaging device 18 and the light 19. Therefore, when the elevator apparatus 1 is in automatic operation, the imaging device 18 does not perform imaging.

[0049] When performing inspection of the elevator device 1, the operator first turns on the switch 11a for supplying power to the camera device 18 and the lamp 19 (S101). As an example, the switch 11a is provided in the car 11. Alternatively, a switch having the same function as that of the switch 11a may be provided in the control device 16. Alternatively, a switch having the same function as that of the switch 11a may be provided in the terminal 3. When the operator turns on the switch 11a, power is supplied to the lamp 19. As a result, the lamp 19 is lit. In addition, when the operator turns on the switch 11a, power is supplied to the camera device 18.

[0050] Figure 4 It is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the imaging device 18 . Figure 4 The operation of the camera 18 after the switch 11a is turned on in S101 is shown. When power is supplied to the camera 18, the camera 18 determines whether it can communicate with the monitoring device 17 (S201). When the communication between the camera 18 and the monitoring device 17 is established, the determination in S201 is "yes".

[0051] When power is supplied to the camera 18, the camera 18 starts photographing (S202). The image photographed by the camera 18 may be a moving image or a still image. The image data photographed by the camera 18 is transmitted to the monitoring device 17 (S203).

[0052] In the example shown in this embodiment, a unit for storing images captured by the camera 18 is provided. As an example, the images captured by the camera 18 are stored in the storage unit 21 of the server 2. In this case, when the communication unit 62 of the monitoring device 17 receives image data from the camera 18, it sends the received data to the server 2 via the network 5. In the server 2, the image data received from the monitoring device 17 is stored in the storage unit 21. As another example, the images captured by the camera 18 may be stored in the storage unit 61 of the monitoring device 17. Alternatively, the images captured by the camera 18 may be stored in the storage unit of another device.

[0053] After turning on the switch 11a in S101, the operator performs work required for inspection of the elevator apparatus 1 (S102). Figure 1 The example in which the worker is performing the inspection work in the pit of the hoistway 13 is shown. In this case, the camera 18 captures the worker performing the work in the pit.

[0054] When the operator completes the inspection of the elevator device 1, the operator turns off the switch 11a (S103). When the operator turns off the switch 11a, the lamp 19 goes out. When the operator turns off the switch 11a, the imaging of the imaging device 18 ends.

[0055] When the worker finishes the inspection of the elevator apparatus 1, he creates a report 30a related to the inspection using the terminal 3 (S104). In addition, the creation of the report 30a may be started before the inspection of the elevator apparatus 1 is finished. Figure 5 This is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the terminal 3 held by the operator. Figure 5 The operation performed by the terminal 3 in S104 is shown.

[0056] In the terminal 3, the generation unit 33 generates access information A1 (S301). The access information A1 is information for accessing the image captured by the camera device 18 when the inspection is performed, among the images stored in the storage unit 21. Alternatively, the generation unit 33 obtains information indicating the storage destination of the image from the server 2, and generates the access information A1 based on the obtained information. Alternatively, the generation unit 33 obtains information indicating the storage destination of the image from the input device 32, and generates the access information A1 based on the obtained information. As an example, the generation unit 33 generates a two-dimensional code as the access information A1.

[0057] Next, in the terminal 3, the creation unit 34 creates a report 30a related to the inspection (S302). The report 30a includes a plurality of report items such as the overall situation and the inspection results of each device. The creation unit 34 creates the report 30a using the access information A1 created by the generation unit 33 in S301.

[0058] Next, in the terminal 3, the report 30a created by the creation unit 34 is output by the output unit 35 (S303). For example, in S303, the report 30a is printed on paper. In this case, the access information A1 generated by the generation unit 33 is also printed on paper. As another example, the report 30a may be saved as electronic data. In this case, the electronic data includes the access information A1.

[0059] When the creation of the report 30a is completed, the operator reports the inspection to the management personnel (S105). In S105, the operator transfers the created report 30a to the management personnel. Alternatively, if the report 30a is electronic data, the operator sends the report 30a via e-mail.

[0060] The manager can confirm the status of the work performed in the inspection based on the image by using the report 30a received from the worker. Figure 6 This is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the terminal 4 held by the manager.

[0061] In the terminal 4, it is determined whether the access information is input (S401). If the manager receives the paper report 30a in S105, the access information A1 is printed in the report 30a. If the access information A1 is a two-dimensional code, the manager uses the camera 43 of the terminal 4 to capture the two-dimensional code. Therefore, it is determined as "yes" in S401.

[0062] When it is determined as "yes" in S401, the communication unit 44 determines whether it is possible to communicate with the server 2 (S402). When the communication between the terminal 4 and the server 2 is established, it is determined as "yes" in S402. Thus, the terminal 4 can access the image captured by the camera device 18 when the inspection is performed in the elevator device 1 among the images stored in the storage unit 21. In the following content, this image is also referred to as a "inspection image".

[0063] If it is determined as "YES" in S402, the display control unit 45 displays the inspection image on the display 41 (S403). The manager can confirm the status of the work performed in the inspection through the image at the terminal 4.

[0064] In the example shown in this embodiment, access information A1 is added to the report 30a related to the inspection. The manager who receives the report 30a can access the image captured by the camera 18 when the inspection is performed based on the access information A1. Therefore, the manager can confirm the inspection image according to his own situation and through simple operation.

[0065] In the present embodiment, an example in which the imaging device 18 does not perform imaging during the automatic operation is described. This is just an example. The imaging device 18 may perform imaging during the automatic operation.

[0066] Next, an example of creating a report related to the recovery operation will be described. In the following content, the report related to the recovery operation is denoted by reference numeral 30b to distinguish it from other reports.

[0067] Figure 7 1 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the control device 16. In the control device 16, the operation control unit 51 performs automatic operation (S501). During the automatic operation, the control device 16 determines whether an earthquake has occurred (S502). The elevator device 1 is equipped with a seismograph (not shown). If a specific signal is input from the seismograph to the control device 16, it is determined as "yes" in S502.

[0068] If the specific first condition is satisfied when it is determined as "yes" in S502, the operation control unit 51 performs controlled operation (S503). The first condition is a condition for starting controlled operation. The first condition is preset. As an example, if a signal indicating that an acceleration above a specific level is detected is input from a seismograph to the control device 16 and the car 11 is moving, the first condition is satisfied. In the controlled operation, the car 11 stops at the landing station of the nearest floor. When the car 11 stops at the landing station, the door opens.

[0069] When the car 11 stops due to an earthquake and a specific second condition is satisfied, the operation control unit 51 performs recovery operation (S504). The second condition is a condition for starting recovery operation. The second condition is preset. As an example, if a signal indicating that an acceleration above a specific level is detected is input from a seismograph to the control device 16 and the stopped car 11 is unmanned, the second condition is satisfied.

[0070] When the second condition is met and the recovery operation starts, the imaging control unit 52 outputs a signal for turning on the switch 11a (S505). As a result, the switch 11a is turned on and power is supplied to the imaging device 18. The imaging device 18 is supplied with power, and the imaging device 18 performs Figure 4That is, when the recovery operation starts, the image capturing by the image capturing device 18 starts. The images captured by the image capturing device 18 during the recovery operation are stored in the storage unit 21 of the server 2.

[0071] In the control device 16, during the recovery operation, the acquisition unit 53 acquires recovery data (S506). Recovery data is data required for the control device 16 to automatically determine whether recovery is possible. The control device 16 determines whether an abnormality exists based on the recovery data acquired in S506 (S507).

[0072] The abnormality detection unit 54 detects the abnormality of the device based on the recovery data. When the abnormality detection unit 54 detects an abnormality, it is determined as "yes" in S507. When it is determined as "yes" in S507, the operation control unit 51 stops the recovery operation (S508). In addition, when the recovery operation is stopped, the shooting control unit 52 outputs a signal for turning off the switch 11a (S509). As a result, the switch 11a is turned off, and the shooting of the camera device 18 ends.

[0073] When the abnormality detection unit 54 does not detect an abnormality and the recovery operation is completed ("Yes" in S510), the elevator device 1 is temporarily restored (S511). During the temporary restoration, the operation control unit 51 performs an operation to make the car 11 respond to the registered elevator call in sequence. In addition, during the temporary restoration, a specific display indicating that it is a temporary restoration is performed at the landing.

[0074] If it is determined to be "YES" in S510, the imaging control unit 52 outputs a signal for turning off the switch 11a (S509). As a result, the switch 11a is turned off, and imaging by the imaging device 18 ends.

[0075] When the recovery operation is carried out after the earthquake, the operator uses the terminal 3 to create a report 30b related to the recovery operation. Figure 5 Action shown.

[0076] For example, in the terminal 3, the generation unit 33 generates access information A2 (S301). The access information A2 is information for accessing the image captured by the camera device 18 when the recovery operation is performed, among the images stored in the storage unit 21. Alternatively, the generation unit 33 obtains information indicating the storage destination of the image from the server 2, and generates the access information A2 based on the obtained information. Alternatively, the generation unit 33 obtains information indicating the storage destination of the image from the input device 32, and generates the access information A2 based on the obtained information. As an example, the generation unit 33 generates a two-dimensional code as the access information A2.

[0077] Next, in the terminal 3, the creation unit 34 creates a report 30b related to the recovery operation (S302). The creation unit 34 creates the report 30b using the access information A2 created by the creation unit 33 in S301.

[0078] Next, in the terminal 3, the report 30b created by the creation unit 34 is outputted by the output unit 35 (S303). For example, in S303, the report 30b is printed on paper. In this case, the access information A2 created by the creation unit 33 is also printed on paper. As another example, the report 30b may be saved as electronic data. In this case, the electronic data includes the access information A2.

[0079] When the creation of the report 30b is completed, the operator reports the recovery operation to the management personnel. In the report, the operator transfers the created report 30b to the management personnel. Alternatively, if the report 30b is electronic data, the operator sends the report 30b via email.

[0080] The manager can confirm the situation inside the shaft 13 when the recovery operation is performed based on the image by using the report 30b received from the operator. Figure 6 Action shown.

[0081] For example, in the terminal 4, it is determined whether the access information is input (S401). If the manager receives the paper report 30b after the recovery operation, the access information A2 is printed in the report 30b. If the access information A2 is a two-dimensional code, the manager uses the camera 43 provided in the terminal 4 to capture the two-dimensional code. Therefore, it is determined as "yes" in S401.

[0082] When it is determined as "yes" in S401, the communication unit 44 determines whether it is possible to communicate with the server 2 (S402). When the communication between the terminal 4 and the server 2 is established, it is determined as "yes" in S402. Thus, the terminal 4 can access the image captured by the camera device 18 when the elevator device 1 performs the recovery operation among the images stored in the storage unit 21.

[0083] If it is determined to be YES in S402, the display control unit 45 displays the image captured by the imaging device 18 during the recovery operation in the elevator device 1 on the display 41 (S403). The manager can check the status of each device after the earthquake based on the image at the terminal 4.

[0084] In this example, when an abnormality of a certain device is detected during the recovery operation, an image of the device may be displayed on the display 41 of the terminal 4 in S403. As another example, when an abnormality of a certain device is detected during the recovery operation, an image of the device when the abnormality is detected and an image of the device when the abnormality is not detected may be displayed on the display 41 of the terminal 4 in S403.

[0085] For example, the counterweight 12 is provided with a hanging wheel. The rope 14 is hung around the hanging wheel. When the rope 14 is detached from the hanging wheel due to the shaking of an earthquake, the abnormality of the hanging wheel is detected by the abnormality detection unit 54 during the recovery operation. The hanging wheel is also photographed by the camera device 18 until the recovery operation is stopped in S508.

[0086] In this case, the generation unit 33 generates access information A3 for accessing the first image and the second image in the images stored in the storage unit 21 in S301. The first image is an image stored in the storage unit 21 and is taken by the camera device 18 when the recovery operation is performed. The first image includes an image of the hanging wheel in which an abnormality is detected during the recovery operation. That is, the first image includes an image of the hanging wheel 12a when the abnormality is detected. In contrast, the second image is an image stored in the storage unit 21 and is taken by the camera device 18 during a past inspection. The inspection is, for example, a regular inspection. The second image includes an image of the hanging wheel when no abnormality is detected.

[0087] Figure 8 4 is a diagram showing an example of an image displayed on the display 41 of the terminal 4 . Figure 8 FIG. 4 shows an example of an image displayed on the terminal 4 that has accessed the server 2 based on the access information A3. Figure 8 In the example shown, the first image and the second image are displayed side by side on the display 41. Therefore, the manager can check the equipment in which an abnormality is detected during the recovery operation by comparing the state where the abnormality has occurred with the state before the abnormality has occurred.

[0088] Implementation method 2.

[0089] In the system described in Patent Document 1, ordinary users cannot observe the camera image. In this embodiment, an example in which ordinary users can observe the camera image by simple operation when performing inspection in the elevator device 1 is described. In addition, in this embodiment, the description of the structure and function disclosed in Embodiment 1 is appropriately omitted.

[0090] Fig. 91 is a diagram showing an example of an elevator system according to Embodiment 2. The elevator system shown in this embodiment includes an elevator device 1, a server 2, a terminal 3 for operators, a terminal 4 for managers, and a user's terminal 7. As an example, the terminal 7 is a smartphone. The terminal 7 may also be a tablet terminal.

[0091] In the example shown in the present embodiment, the elevator apparatus 1 further includes a guide plate 8 and an access point 9. The guide plate 8 and the access point 9 are provided at a landing where the car 11 stops.

[0092] The guide plate 8 is an example of a unit that provides access information B1. The access information B1 is information for accessing information related to the elevator device 1. In the following content, the information related to the elevator device 1 is also referred to as "elevator information". For example, the elevator information includes information related to operation. Alternatively, the elevator information includes information related to inspection. Alternatively, the elevator information includes a notice from a manager. Fig. 9 In the example shown, a two-dimensional code is added to the guide plate 8 as the access information B1.

[0093] The access point 9 is used to connect the terminal 7 to the monitoring device 17 .

[0094] Fig.10 is a diagram used to explain the functions of an elevator system. Fig.10 In the example shown, the description of each of the terminal 3, the terminal 4, and the control device 16 is omitted. Figure 2 The example shown is the same. The server 2 includes a generation unit 22 and a display control unit 23 in addition to a storage unit 21. The terminal 7 includes a display 71, an input device 72 and a camera 73. The input device 72 is a device for the user to input information. The display 71 and the input device 72 may also be an integrated device of a touch panel type.

[0095] See also below Fig.11 , the actions performed when the user arrives at the landing station are explained in detail. Fig.11 This is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the server 2 .

[0096] In the server 2, it is determined whether the terminal has accessed to request elevator information (S601). As described above, in the elevator device 1, a guide plate 8 with access information B1 is provided at the landing. If the access information B1 is a two-dimensional code, when the user wants to know the elevator information, the user uses the camera 73 of the terminal 7 to capture the two-dimensional code. As a result, the terminal 7 accesses the server 2, and it is determined as "yes" in S601.

[0097] If it is determined as "yes" in S601, the server 2 determines whether the elevator device 1 is being inspected (S602). The determination in S602 is performed based on information sent from the terminal 3 when the inspection starts. As another example, the determination in S602 may be performed based on a pre-registered schedule.

[0098] When it is determined as "yes" in S602, the access information A4 is generated by the generating unit 22 (S603). The access information A4 is information for accessing the image captured by the camera 18. As an example, the access information A4 is information for accessing the latest image captured by the camera 18 among the images stored in the storage unit 21. Alternatively, the generating unit 22 may generate the access information A4 based on the access information B1 used when the terminal 7 accesses the server 2.

[0099] Next, the display control unit 23 causes the terminal 7 accessed according to the access information B1 to display the elevator information (S604). At this time, if the access information A4 is created in S603, the display control unit 23 causes the display 71 of the terminal 7 to display the elevator information including the access information A4. That is, if the inspection is being performed in the elevator device 1, the elevator information including the access information A4 is displayed on the display 71. For example, the access information A4 is displayed on the display 71 as a button with the expression "Confirm the image in the shaft".

[0100] On the other hand, if it is determined as "No" in S602 and the access information A4 is not created in S603, the display control unit 23 causes the display 71 of the terminal 7 to display the elevator information that does not include the access information A4 (S604). That is, if the elevator device 1 is not being inspected, the elevator information displayed on the display 71 does not include the access information A4.

[0101] If it is determined as "yes" in S602, then after S604, it is determined whether the button is pressed (S605). If it is determined as "no" in S602, it is always determined as "no" in S605. When the user presses the button displayed on the display 71, it is determined as "yes" in S605. When it is determined as "yes" in S605, the display control unit 23 displays the image captured by the camera 18 on the display 71.

[0102] If the elevator device 1 is undergoing inspection, a display of "inspection in progress" is displayed at the landing. If the display of "inspection in progress" is being performed when the user arrives at the landing, the user can access the server 2 according to the access information B1 and confirm the elevator information on the terminal 7. Furthermore, the user can confirm that the operator is performing inspection by an image on the terminal 7 by pressing a button displayed on the display 71.

[0103] Alternatively, when the determination in S605 is "yes", the display control unit 23 may cause the display 71 to display the real-time image captured by the camera 18. In this case, when the button displayed on the display 71 is pressed, the terminal 7 is connected to the monitoring device 17 via the access point 9, and the image captured by the camera 18 is sent to the terminal 7 via the monitoring device 17 and the access point 9. Thus, the real-time image captured by the camera 18 is displayed on the display 71 of the terminal 7. In this example, the user can confirm that the operator is performing inspection based on the real-time image.
