Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevators, and in particular to an elevator signal registration system and registration method. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, in order to reduce the spread of bacteria and viruses that may be caused by cross-contact between elevator passengers and elevator buttons, more and more elevators have provided signal registration systems based on contactless buttons. When passengers are in the elevator, they only need to operate the contactless buttons in the air to complete the registration of the passenger's desired signal, as shown in Reference 1.
[0003] (CN202180069277.8) and document 2 (CN202080104303.1), etc.
[0004] Although contactless buttons can avoid the spread of bacteria and viruses caused by cross-contact, there are still cases of passengers misregistering (mainly due to improper hand position during registration, which results in misregistering other buttons that are not actually intended to be operated while registering the actual button). In order to solve the problem of passenger misregistration, Reference 3
[0005] (CN202211276918.X) and Document 4 (Elevator In-Car Destination Floor Registration System (20230801)) all provide solutions for determining the actual operation button that the passenger actually wants to operate from various operated buttons and generating a corresponding button signal. Although these prior arts solve the aforementioned problem of misregistration of contactless buttons, since they directly generate the corresponding button signal after determining the actual operation button that the passenger actually wants to operate, if they mistakenly determine the actual operation button (any method will have a certain error rate), it will cause the passenger to be unable to board the elevator smoothly, thereby reducing the passenger's elevator experience. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is how to avoid incorrectly determining the button that the passenger actually wants to operate, thereby avoiding a reduction in the passenger's elevator riding experience.
[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention discloses an elevator signal registration system, comprising a contactless button and a processor, wherein the contactless button is configured to detect a registration operation performed by a passenger to register an elevator call signal in a contactless manner and output a detection signal corresponding to the registration operation; the processor is communicatively connected to the contactless button and is configured to generate, based on the detection signal, an elevator call signal corresponding to the actual operation button that the passenger actually intends to operate by performing the registration operation and transmit the signal to the elevator control system; wherein the processor further comprises:
[0008] A first determining module: determining the non-contact button corresponding to the detection signal that meets the preset operating conditions as the operated button;
[0009] A second determining module is used to determine that two or more of the operated buttons are simultaneously operated by the passengers;
[0010] A third determining module is used to determine the real operation button among the operated buttons;
[0011] a notification module: when the actual operation button is one of two or more simultaneous operation buttons, notifying the passenger of the actual operation button determined by the third determination module;
[0012] Receiving module: after the notification module notifies the passenger of the real operation button, receiving the passenger's confirmation or change operation on the real operation button, and determining the real operation button after the passenger's confirmation or change operation;
[0013] Generation module: generates the elevator call signal corresponding to the actual operation button and sends it to the elevator control system.
[0014] Preferably, the second determining module identifies the operated buttons corresponding to the detection signals that meet the operation condition within a period of time equal to the time threshold as the simultaneously operated buttons.
[0015] Preferably, the second determining module determines the steps of the simultaneous operation buttons as follows:
[0016] Step S1: Determine whether the first determination module determines and outputs the first operated button. If so, proceed to the next step; otherwise, continue the determination of this step.
[0017] Step S2: adding the first operated button to the simultaneous operation button group and starting timing;
[0018] Step S3, determining whether the first determining module determines and outputs the second operated button when the timing result does not exceed the time threshold, if so, proceeding to the next step, otherwise proceeding to step S6;
[0019] Step S4: adding the second operated button to the simultaneous operation button group;
[0020] Step S5: Update the first operated button to the second operated button, restart the timing and return to step S3;
[0021] Step S6: Determine whether the simultaneous operation button group contains multiple operated buttons. If so, identify the multiple operated buttons in the simultaneous operation button group as the same group of simultaneous operation buttons and proceed to the next step. Otherwise, proceed directly to the next step.
[0022] Step S7: Return to step S1 to start a new group of simultaneous button operation determinations.
[0023] Preferably, when the operated button is not a simultaneously operated button, the third determination module directly determines it as a real operation button; when the operated button is a simultaneously operated button, the third determination module determines all simultaneously operated buttons in the simultaneously operated button group to which the simultaneously operated button belongs, and takes all the simultaneously operated buttons in the group as objects, and selects one of them as the real operation button using a preset selection method.
[0024] Preferably, after the notification module completes informing the passenger of the real operation button, if the change operation is not received within a time period starting from the first determination moment when the real operation button is determined by the third determination module and having a preset maximum waiting time as the length, the current real operation button will be used as the real operation button confirmed by the passenger; otherwise, the new real operation button re-determined by the third determination module will be used as the real operation button after the change operation, for the generation module to generate an elevator call signal corresponding to the real operation button confirmed by the passenger or after the change operation and send it to the elevator control system.
[0025] Preferably, the change operation adopts at least one of the following methods to implement the change of the real operation button: Method 1, so that the changed real operation button is not determined as the operated button by the first determination module; Method 2, so that the changed real operation button is not determined as the real operation button by the third determination module.
[0026] Preferably, for method 1, the modification operation causes the detection signal of the modified real operation button to no longer meet the operation conditions for it to be identified as the operated button, so that the first determination module no longer determines the modified real operation button as the operated button.
[0027] Preferably, for mode 2, the modification operation causes the detection signal of the modified real operation button to no longer meet the identification conditions for it to be identified as the real operated button, so that the third determination module no longer determines the modified real operation button as the real operated button.
[0028] Preferably, the change operation is performed by changing the detection signals of the changed real operation button and / or the remaining simultaneous operation button groups in the simultaneous operation button group to which the changed real operation button belongs, except the changed real operation button, so that the detection signal of the changed real operation button no longer meets the recognition conditions for it to be recognized as the real operated button.
[0029] Preferably, after the passenger changes the operation, the second determination module deletes the changed real operation button from the simultaneously operated buttons. If there are still multiple simultaneously operated buttons after the deletion, the third determination module determines the real operation button again, the notification module notifies again, and the receiving module determines the real operation button that has been confirmed or changed by the passenger again.
[0030] Preferably, the notification module controls so that the first indication effect of the status indicator light of the real operation button is different from the second indication effect of the status indicator light of the non-operated button, and is different from the third indication effect of the status indicator light of the non-contact button that has generated the elevator call signal, thereby notifying the passenger of the real operation button.
[0031] Preferably, when there are buttons being operated simultaneously, the notification module controls so that the fourth indication effect of the status indicator light of the simultaneously operated button is different from the first indication effect, the second indication effect and the third indication effect between the first moment when the third determination module determines one of the simultaneously operated buttons as the real operation button and the second moment when the receiving module determines the real operation button after the passenger confirms or changes the operation.
[0032] Preferably, the notification module controls so that the fifth indication effect of the status indicator lights of the other simultaneously operated buttons except the real operation button is maintained until the third moment when the generation module generates the elevator call signal corresponding to the real operation button.
[0033] Preferably, the notification module is controlled so that the indication effect of the status indicator light of the real operation button is different from the first indication effect, the second indication effect, the third indication effect, the fourth indication effect and the fifth indication effect between the fourth moment and the third moment when the receiving module receives the passenger's confirmation or change operation.
[0034] Preferably, before changing the current indication effect of the status indicator light of the contactless button, the processor compares the duration of the current indication effect with a preset minimum duration, and when the duration of the current indication effect is shorter than the preset minimum duration, the processor performs one or more of the following operations:
[0035] Confirming a first button state corresponding to a current indication effect of a state indicator light of the contactless button;
[0036] confirming each second button state of the contactless button subsequent to the first button state;
[0037] Postponing the end time of the first button state until the duration of the first button state after the postponed end time is not shorter than a preset minimum duration;
[0038] Determining the delay amount for the end time of the first button state;
[0039] Postponing the start time and end time of the second button state by the delay amount;
[0040] Determining an indication effect and a corresponding time period (i.e., a start time and an end time of a certain indication effect) of a status indicator light of the contactless button according to the delayed first button state and the second button state;
[0041] The status indicator light of the non-contact button is controlled to display a corresponding indication effect in a corresponding time period.
[0042] The present invention also provides an elevator signal registration method, comprising:
[0043] Step 1: Detect the passenger's registration operation and output a detection signal;
[0044] Step 2: Determine whether the button is operated based on the detection signal. If yes, proceed to the next step; otherwise, return to step 1.
[0045] Step 3: Determine whether there is a simultaneous operation button. If yes, proceed to the next step. If not, proceed to step 6.

[0048] Step 6: Determine the real operation button;
[0049] Step 7: Generate an elevator call signal based on the actual operation button determined in step 6 and send it to the elevator control system.
[0050] Preferably, step 5 receives a detection signal after the notification moment of step 4 informing the passenger of the real operation button, determines the operated button, the simultaneous operation button and the real operation button based on the detection signal after the notification moment, compares the similarities and differences between the operated button, the simultaneous operation button and the real operation button before and after the notification moment, and identifies the passenger's confirmation or change operation.
[0051] Preferably, the rule for Step 5 to identify the passenger's confirmation or change operation based on the comparison result is: when the operated button, simultaneous operation button and real operation button determined based on the detection signal after the notification moment remain unchanged from the operated button, simultaneous operation button and real operation button before the notification moment and the duration exceeds a preset time period, Step 5 retains the real operation button determined based on the detection signal before the notification moment; when at least one of the operated button, simultaneous operation button and real operation button determined based on the detection signal after the notification moment is different from that before the notification moment, the real operation button determined based on the detection signal after the notification moment is used as the new real operation button.
[0052] Beneficial technical effects
[0053] The present invention can, on the basis of automatically identifying the buttons that the passenger wants to operate, further provide the passenger with a technical means to confirm his or her true registration intention, thereby avoiding the system's erroneous judgment that may reduce the passenger's elevator experience.
[0054] In the preferred technical solution, the prompt and confirmation methods are also optimized to facilitate passengers' identification and operation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0055] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of the elevator signal registration system of Example 1;
[0056] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the steps of the elevator signal registration method in Example 3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0057] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0058] Example 1
[0059] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides an elevator signal registration system comprising a contactless button and a processor. The contactless button is configured to detect a passenger's registration operation for registering an elevator call signal in a contactless manner and output a detection signal corresponding to the registration operation. The contactless button is located, for example, at a landing or within an elevator car. In addition to the button body, the contactless button typically comprises two components: a contactless sensor and a button status indicator.
[0060] The contactless sensor has a certain detection range. Only when the passenger's hand used to operate the button enters the detection range can the contactless sensor detect the passenger's hand entering the detection range and output a detection signal. Usually, the contactless sensor is integrated into the button, so the detection range of the sensor is usually a sphere centered on the button where it is located. In addition, the contactless sensor in the contactless button usually detects the passenger's hand by detecting the distance between the passenger's hand and the button (i.e., the contactless sensor), and the smaller the distance, the stronger the output detection signal. Therefore, the information that can be used to determine whether the button is operated by the passenger includes the presence and strength of the output signal.
[0061] For contactless buttons, it is usually not the case that the button corresponding to the contactless sensor is directly determined to be operated by the passenger as soon as the contactless sensor detects the passenger's hand. Instead, the passenger's operation of the button (i.e., the detection signal) must meet certain operating conditions. The operating conditions refer to the conditions that the detection signal should meet when the button is operated by the passenger in a contactless manner. That is, only when the detection signal meets the operating conditions will the button be determined to be operated by the passenger in a contactless manner and then be identified as the operated button. The operating conditions usually include:
[0062] Condition 1: The strength of the detection signal (i.e., the distance between the passenger's hand and the button) exceeds the strength threshold;
[0063] The duration during which conditions 2 and 1 are met exceeds the time threshold.
[0064] The processor is in communication with the contactless button and is configured to generate, based on the detection signal, an elevator call signal corresponding to the actual operation button that the passenger actually wants to operate by performing the registration operation and transmit the signal to the elevator control system; wherein the processor further comprises:
[0065] A first determining module: determining the non-contact button corresponding to the detection signal that meets the preset operating conditions as the operated button;
[0066] A second determining module is used to determine that two or more of the operated buttons are simultaneously operated by the passengers;
[0067] A third determining module is used to determine the real operation button among the operated buttons;
[0068] a notification module: when the actual operation button is one of two or more simultaneous operation buttons, notifying the passenger of the actual operation button determined by the third determination module;
[0069] Receiving module: after the notification module notifies the passenger of the real operation button, receiving the passenger's confirmation or change operation on the real operation button, and determining the real operation button after the passenger's confirmation or change operation;
[0070] Generation module: generates the elevator call signal corresponding to the actual operation button and sends it to the elevator control system.
[0071] The second determination module identifies the operated buttons corresponding to the detection signals that meet the operation conditions within a time period equal to the time threshold as simultaneous operation buttons. Specifically, the second determination module determines the simultaneous operation buttons in the following steps:
[0072] Step S1: Determine whether the first determination module determines and outputs the first operated button. If so, proceed to the next step; otherwise, continue the determination of this step.
[0073] Step S2: adding the first operated button to the simultaneous operation button group and starting timing;
[0074] Step S3, determining whether the first determining module determines and outputs the second operated button when the timing result does not exceed the time threshold, if so, proceeding to the next step, otherwise proceeding to step S6;
[0075] Step S4: adding the second operated button to the simultaneous operation button group;
[0076] Step S5: Update the first operated button to the second operated button, restart the timing and return to step S3;
[0077] Step S6: Determine whether the simultaneous operation button group contains multiple operated buttons. If so, identify the multiple operated buttons in the simultaneous operation button group as the same group of simultaneous operation buttons and proceed to the next step. Otherwise, directly proceed to the next step.
[0078] Step S7: Return to step S1 to start a new group of simultaneous button operation determinations.
[0079] When the operated button is not a simultaneously operated button, the third determination module directly determines it as the real operation button; when the operated button is a simultaneously operated button, the third determination module determines all simultaneously operated buttons in the simultaneously operated button group to which the simultaneously operated button belongs, and selects one of the simultaneously operated buttons in the group as the real operation button using a preset selection method. This application does not impose any restrictions on the preset selection method. For example, the method disclosed in Document 1 (CN202211276918.X) can be used.
[0080] As mentioned in the background technology, when there are multiple buttons being operated simultaneously, the actual operated button determined by the third determination module may not be the button the passenger actually wants to operate. The prior art does not consider the issue of how to deal with the situation when the third determination module incorrectly determines the actual operation button. In order to deal with this problem, in this embodiment, after the third determination module completes the determination of the actual operated button, the generation module does not immediately generate a registration signal corresponding to the actual operation button, but waits for a certain period of time, notifies the system of the actual operation button identified by itself through the notification module, receives the passenger's confirmation or change operation of the actual operation button through the receiving module, and determines the actual operation button after the passenger confirms or changes the operation.
[0081] After the notification module completes notifying the passenger of the real operation button, if the change operation is not received within a time period starting from the first determination moment when the real operation button is determined by the third determination module and having a preset maximum waiting time as the length, the current real operation button will be used as the real operation button confirmed by the passenger; otherwise, the new real operation button re-determined by the third determination module will be used as the real operation button after the change operation, for the generation module to generate an elevator call signal corresponding to the real operation button confirmed by the passenger or after the change operation and send it to the elevator control system.
[0082] In order to enable the passenger to change the real operation button through the change operation, the change operation is implemented by changing the real operation button in at least one of the following ways:
[0083] Method 1: The modified real operation button is not determined as the operated button by the first determination module;
[0084] Method 2: The modified real operation button is not determined as the real operation button by the third determination module.
[0085] For mode 1, the modification operation causes the detection signal of the modified real operation button to no longer meet the operation conditions for it to be identified as the operated button, so that the first determination module no longer determines the modified real operation button as the operated button.
[0086] For mode 2, the modification operation causes the detection signal of the modified real operation button to no longer meet the identification condition for it to be identified as the real operated button, so that the third determination module no longer determines the modified real operation button as the real operated button.
[0087] The change operation changes the detection signals of the changed real operation button and / or the remaining simultaneous operation button groups in the simultaneous operation button group to which the changed real operation button belongs, except the changed real operation button, so that the detection signal of the changed real operation button no longer meets the recognition conditions for it to be recognized as the real operated button.
[0088] For example, when a passenger registers their destination floor with their index finger, their original intention is to register the 8th floor. However, because their index finger is extended forward and the other fingers are clenched into a fist during registration, the first distance between the middle joint of the other finger (e.g., the pinky) and the 10th floor button is smaller than the second distance between the tip of the index finger and the 8th floor button. At this point, the 8th and 10th floor buttons are considered to be simultaneously operated buttons. When the third determination module determines that the actual operated button is the simultaneously operated button with the shortest distance to the operating unit, the system determines the 10th floor button as the actual operated button and notifies the user of this information (e.g., the special display effect of the status indicator in Example 2 below). At this point, the passenger realizes that the actual operated button (the 10th floor button) determined by the system is not the 8th floor button they intended to register. They immediately adjust their hand posture (e.g., by increasing the angle between their hand and the plane where the button is located, i.e., increasing the first distance and / or decreasing the second distance) so that the first distance is greater than the second distance. The system then re-determines the 8th floor button as the actual operated button and registers it.
[0089] After the passenger changes the operation, the second determination module deletes the changed real operation button from the simultaneously operated buttons. If there are still multiple simultaneously operated buttons after the deletion, the third determination module determines the real operation button again, the notification module notifies again, and the receiving module determines the real operation button that has been confirmed or changed by the passenger again.
[0090] The notification module can notify or remind by voice broadcast, text / character display or button status indicator light.
[0091] Example 2
[0092] This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of how to implement notification or reminder using a button status indicator light.
[0093] The notification module controls so that the first indication effect of the status indicator light of the real operation button is different from the second indication effect (such as off) of the status indicator light of the non-operated button, and is different from the third indication effect of the status indicator light of the non-contact button that has generated the elevator call signal (which is no longer considered to be the operated button), thereby notifying the passenger of the real operation button.
[0094] When there are buttons being operated simultaneously, the notification module controls so that the fourth indication effect of the status indicator light of the simultaneously operated button is different from the first indication effect, the second indication effect and the third indication effect between the first moment when the third determination module determines one of the simultaneously operated buttons as the real operation button and the second moment when the receiving module determines the real operation button after the passenger confirms or changes the operation.
[0095] The notification module controls so that the fifth indication effect of the status indicator lights of the other simultaneously operated buttons except the real operation button is maintained until the third moment when the generation module generates the elevator call signal corresponding to the real operation button.
[0096] The notification module is controlled so that the indication effect of the status indicator light of the real operation button is different from the first indication effect, the second indication effect, the third indication effect, the fourth indication effect and the fifth indication effect between the fourth moment and the third moment when the receiving module receives the passenger's confirmation or change operation.
[0097] Before changing the current indication effect of the status indicator light of the contactless button, the processor compares the duration of the current indication effect with a preset minimum duration, and when the duration of the current indication effect is shorter than the preset minimum duration, the processor performs one or more of the following operations:
[0098] Confirming a first button state corresponding to a current indication effect of a state indicator light of the contactless button;
[0099] confirming each second button state of the contactless button subsequent to the first button state;
[0100] Postponing the end time of the first button state until the duration of the first button state after the postponed end time is not shorter than a preset minimum duration;
[0101] Determining the delay amount for the end time of the first button state;
[0102] Postponing the start time and end time of the second button state by the delay amount;
[0103] Determining an indication effect and a corresponding time period (i.e., a start time and an end time of a certain indication effect) of a status indicator light of the contactless button according to the delayed first button state and the second button state;
[0104] The status indicator light of the non-contact button is controlled to display a corresponding indication effect in a corresponding time period.
[0105] Example 3
[0106] like Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides an elevator signal registration method, including:
[0107] Step 1: Detect the passenger's registration operation and output a detection signal;
[0108] Step 2: Determine whether the button is operated based on the detection signal. If yes, proceed to the next step; otherwise, return to step 1.
[0109] Step 3: Determine whether there is a simultaneous operation button. If yes, proceed to the next step. If not, proceed to step 6.
[0110] Step 4: Determine the actual operation button and inform the passenger of the actual operation button;
[0111] Step 5: Receive the passenger's confirmation or change operation;
[0112] Step 6: Determine the real operation button;
[0113] Step 7: Generate an elevator call signal based on the actual operation button determined in step 6 and send it to the elevator control system.
[0114] The step 5 receives the detection signal after the notification moment of the real operation button in step 4, determines the operated button, the simultaneous operation button and the real operation button based on the detection signal after the notification moment, compares the similarities and differences between the operated button, the simultaneous operation button and the real operation button before and after the notification moment, and identifies the passenger's confirmation or change operation.
[0115] The rule for identifying the passenger's confirmation or change operation based on the comparison result in step 5 is:
[0116] If the operated button, the simultaneously operated button, and the real operated button determined based on the detection signal after the notification moment remain unchanged from the operated button, the simultaneously operated button, and the real operated button before the notification moment and the duration exceeds a preset time period, step 5 retains the real operated button determined based on the detection signal before the notification moment;
[0117] When at least one of the operated button, the simultaneous operation button, and the real operation button determined based on the detection signal after the notification time is different from that before the notification time, the real operation button determined based on the detection signal after the notification time is used as the new real operation button.
[0118] The present invention has been described in detail above by way of specific embodiments and examples, but these do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art may make many variations and improvements, which should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
