[0044] The method embodiment provided in this embodiment can be executed on a terminal, a computer or a similar computing device. For example, when running on a terminal, Figure 1 is the hardware structure block diagram of the terminal of the elevator dispatch method based on door holding in this embodiment. As Figure 1 shown, the terminal may include one or more ( Figure 1 only one is shown in the figure) processors 102 and a memory 104 for storing data.

In one instance, the transmission device 106 can be a radio frequency (RF) module, which is used to communicate with the Internet wirelessly.

[0047] In the existing destination floor elevator dispatch system, elevators are usually dispatched according to information such as the floor where the elevator is located and the destination floor that the passenger wants to reach. When a passenger needs to use the door holding function due to carrying large items, inconvenient movement, etc., the passenger needs to enter the car and press the door holding button to make the door holding function effective, which brings certain inconvenience to the user; moreover, the door holding time for each arrival floor is generally calculated based on a fixed time, and the customer cannot select the door holding duration according to actual needs, which causes waste of transportation capacity to a certain extent; in addition, since the elevator dispatch system cannot predict in advance which floors the door holding function is needed, there is a large error between the estimated time of the elevator dispatch system and the actual running time, which will not only increase the waiting time of a single elevator and affect the passenger's elevator riding experience, but also affect the overall elevator dispatch efficiency of the system due to the elevator being occupied.

[0048] In view of the problem that the door holding function in the related technology is imperfect and affects the elevator riding experience and elevator dispatch efficiency, no effective solution has been proposed yet.

[0049] In this embodiment, an elevator dispatch method based on door holding is provided. Figure 2 It is a flowchart of the elevator dispatch method based on door holding in this embodiment, as Figure 2 shown, and the method includes the following steps:

[0050] Step S201: After detecting that the current target instruction is triggered outside the hall, obtain the target registration information of the current target instruction; the target registration information includes the door-opening hold requirement, and the door-opening hold requirement includes the level of the door-opening hold requirement and the door-opening hold registration floor.

[0051] Specifically, for passengers who have a need to take the elevator and require the elevator to maintain a long door-opening time during the process of entering and leaving the elevator, they trigger the current target instruction through the hall call device installed at the landing. The target registration information of the current target instruction includes the departure floor where the passenger is located, the registered destination floor, and the door-opening hold requirement. Optionally, when registering the destination floor, the pre-registration of the door-opening hold requirement can be carried out simultaneously. Specifically, the door-opening hold registration floor can be registered on the departure floor and / or the destination floor to extend the door-opening hold time. Further, the appropriate level of the door-opening hold requirement can also be selected according to the specific length of the door-opening hold time to be extended.

[0052] Exemplarily, the hall call device can be a touch screen, which also includes a floor selector. Passengers can light up the destination floor and the "door-opening hold at departure floor" and / or "door-opening hold at destination floor" through the virtual buttons in the device to trigger the door-opening hold requirement. Additionally, the door-opening hold requirement can also be a physical button, which consists of a contact switch and a button light. Passengers can trigger the door-opening hold requirement at the destination floor by triggering the door-opening hold requirement and the destination floor together, and the buttons for "door-opening hold at departure floor" and "door-opening hold at destination floor" can also be set separately.

[0053] In an application scenario, when passengers who need to carry large items or have mobility difficulties need to take the elevator, they register the destination floor and the door-opening hold requirement outside the hall through the hall call device to trigger the current target instruction for waiting for the elevator. Among them, passengers can light up the buttons for the destination floor, door-opening hold at departure floor, and door-opening hold at destination floor in the hall call device as needed. In this way, when the elevator responds to the current target instruction and opens the door at the departure floor, it will hold the door as needed, and when the elevator opens the door at the destination floor after the passengers arrive, it will also hold the door as needed.

[0054] Further, the permission for the passengers' door-opening hold requirement can also be set. When the waiting passengers register outside the hall, the system synchronously obtains whether the passengers have the permission to register the door-opening hold requirement. The ways of triggering the instruction include but are not limited to IC (Integrated Circuit) cards, face recognition, fingerprint, etc. The target instruction is the instruction registered with the door-opening hold requirement, and other instructions belong to regular instructions. The registration information of regular instructions includes the departure floor and the destination floor. Among them, methods such as IC cards, face recognition, and fingerprint need to be realized through the pre-registered information of the passengers.

[0055] Step S202: When the level of the door-holding requirement and the door-holding registration floor meet the preset conditions, a dedicated elevator is dispatched to respond to the current target instruction; when the level of the door-holding requirement and the door-holding registration floor do not meet the preset conditions, according to the target registration information and the elevator operation information, the current target instruction is responded by dispatching the elevator according to the preset conventional elevator dispatching logic.

[0056] Specifically, at least one level can be set for the door-holding requirement. When there is only one level, it means that the duration of the door-holding function is a fixed time; when several levels are set, the higher the level, the longer the duration required for door-holding. The door-holding registration floor refers to the floor where the door-holding requirement is registered, and the door-holding registration floor includes the departure floor and / or the destination floor of the passenger, indicating that the elevator needs to hold the door open at the departure floor and / or the destination floor for the passenger.

[0057] When the level of the door-holding requirement and the door-holding registration floor meet the preset conditions, a dedicated elevator is dispatched to respond to the current target instruction. This is to avoid affecting the elevator-riding experience of other passengers when this passenger may occupy the elevator for a long time. When the elevator group can dispatch an idle elevator within a certain time, a dedicated elevator is dispatched to respond to the current target instruction. The preset conditions specifically include: the door-holding requirement is at a level not lower than the lowest level, and / or the door-holding registration floor is the departure floor and the destination floor, and / or the elevator group can dispatch an idle elevator to respond within a certain time. It can be understood that there can be other settings for the preset conditions. For example, the door-holding requirement is at the highest level and the door-holding registration floor is the departure floor and / or the destination floor, or the door-holding requirement is at the intermediate or highest level.

[0058] When the level of the door-holding requirement and the door-holding registration floor do not meet the preset conditions, and the impact of this passenger's door-holding requirement on other passengers is relatively small, the elevator executing the current target instruction of this passenger can also respond to the call instructions of other passengers. Therefore, during the operation of the elevator, according to the operation information of the elevator itself and the target registration information, the current target instruction is responded by dispatching the elevator according to the preset conventional elevator dispatching logic to reduce the waiting and elevator-riding time of other passengers. Among them, the preset conventional elevator dispatching logic can be a dispatching logic targeting the shortest time or the maximum transport capacity. The specific situations that do not meet the preset conditions include that the door-holding requirement is at the lowest level and the door-holding registration floor is only the destination floor; or the door-holding registration floor is the departure floor or the destination floor, but there is no one waiting for this elevator during the elevator's arrival at the departure floor or the destination floor, and there is no one else in the car; or the elevator group does not have an idle elevator to respond within a certain time.

[0059] Through the above steps, the elevator rider can pre-register the door-holding requirement. According to whether the target registration information meets the preset conditions, an elevator is dispatched individually or dispatched according to the preset conventional logic to respond to the current target instruction, improving the door-holding function. And when dispatching the elevator, the door-holding requirement in the target registration information is considered, which can more accurately estimate the elevator operation situation, improving the elevator-riding experience and the elevator dispatching efficiency.

[0060] In some of these embodiments, the door-holding requirement includes a door-holding duration of at least one preset level and a door-holding registration floor for registering the specific floor where the door-holding requirement is registered; the door-holding registration floor includes the departure floor and / or the destination floor.

[0061] Specifically, a fixed duration can be set for the door-holding requirement; or several preset levels can be set, for example, low, medium, and high levels. The higher the level, the longer the door-holding duration is required. Exemplarily, the high-level door-holding duration is 60S, the medium-level door-holding duration is 40S, and the low-level door-holding duration is 25S. On the basis of triggering the door-holding through virtual buttons or physical buttons in the above embodiments, different levels of triggering can be further set. For example, the level can be switched through virtual buttons, and each time a virtual button is lit, a higher-level door-holding requirement is triggered.

[0062] The door-holding registration floor refers to the floor where the door-holding requirement is registered. For the elevator rider, the door-holding registration floor can be the departure floor and / or the destination floor, indicating that the elevator rider needs the elevator to hold the door open at the departure floor and / or the destination floor. In this way, when the elevator responds to the current target instruction and arrives at the departure floor and opens the door, it will automatically hold the door open as needed, and it will also automatically hold the door open as needed after the passengers arrive at the destination floor and the door opens.

[0063] Through the setting of the door-holding registration floor and the door-holding durations of different preset levels provided in this embodiment, passengers can select the door-holding requirement as needed, reducing the waste of transportation capacity while reasonably meeting the elevator-riding needs, and further improving the functional design of the door-holding requirement.

[0064] In some of these embodiments, the above non-compliance with the preset conditions includes: the door-holding requirement is at the lowest level, and / or the door-holding registration floor is the same as the departure floor or the destination floor of the instruction that has been responded to in the elevator operation information, and / or there is no idle elevator in the elevator group that can respond within a certain period of time; according to the target registration information and the elevator operation information, dispatching an elevator according to the preset conventional elevator dispatching logic to respond to the current target instruction includes the following steps:

[0065] According to the elevator operation information, determine the instruction that the elevator has responded to; according to the target registration information and the responded instruction, dispatch an elevator according to the preset conventional elevator dispatching logic to respond to the current target instruction.

[0066] Specifically, when the level of the door-opening hold requirement and the door-opening hold registration floor do not meet the preset conditions, there is no need to dispatch an elevator separately to respond to the current target instruction. The elevator that executes the current target instruction of the rider can also respond to the call instructions of other riders. Specifically, the elevator dispatching response is based on the target registration information and the elevator operation information. The preset conventional elevator dispatching logic can be an elevator dispatching logic targeting the shortest time or the maximum transport capacity. Not meeting the preset conditions includes: the door-opening hold requirement is at the lowest level, and / or the door-opening hold registration floor is the same as the departure floor or the destination floor of the instruction that has been responded to in the elevator operation information, and / or there is no idle elevator in the elevator group that can respond within a certain period of time.

[0067] The elevator operation information includes position information, running direction information, speed information, load information, and estimated arrival information. If the elevator operation information indicates that the elevator is idle and has not responded to other call instructions, the elevator can directly dispatch and respond to the current target instruction according to the target registration information and the elevator operation information.

[0068] If the elevator operation information indicates that there are instructions that have been responded to, at this time the elevator may be on its way to the departure floor or the destination floor of the instructions that have been responded to. When the level of the door-opening hold requirement and the door-opening hold registration floor do not meet the preset conditions, the door-opening hold requirement is at the lowest level, and / or the door-opening hold registration floor is the same as the departure floor or the destination floor of the instructions that have been responded to in the elevator operation information, and / or there is no idle elevator in the elevator group that can respond within a certain period of time. It can be understood that if the rider registers the door-opening hold requirement at the lowest level, or there is only a door-opening hold requirement at the departure floor or the destination floor, or all elevators in the elevator group are in operation and there is no idle elevator that can respond; or when there is at least one of the above situations at the same time, it does not meet the preset conditions; of course, more preferably, when the door-opening hold requirement is registered at the lowest level, and there is only a door-opening hold requirement at the destination floor or the departure floor, but there is no one waiting for this elevator during the arrival of its departure floor or destination floor and there is no one else in the car, the departure floor or the destination floor of the instructions that have been responded to by the elevator is the same as the door-opening hold registration floor. Dispatch and respond to the current target instruction according to the target registration information and the instructions that have been responded to, with the preset conventional elevator dispatching logic.

[0069] In this embodiment, when the level of the door-opening hold requirement and the door-opening hold registration floor do not meet the preset conditions, dispatch and respond to the current target instruction according to the elevator operation information and the target registration information, with the preset elevator dispatching logic, so as to minimize the riding time of co-riders and enhance the riding experience of riders.

[0070] In some of these embodiments, it further includes:

[0071] After detecting the triggering of the current regular instruction outside the hall, obtain the regular registration information of the current regular instruction, where the regular registration information includes the departure floor and the destination floor; according to the target registration information of the currently responded target instruction and the regular registration information of the current regular instruction, dispatch the elevator to respond to the current regular instruction according to a preset elevator dispatching logic.

[0072] Specifically, for passengers with elevator riding needs and no door-holding needs, trigger the current regular instruction through the hall call device installed on the landing. The regular registration information of the current regular instruction includes the departure floor where the passenger is located and the registered destination floor.

[0073] According to the target registration information and the regular registration information, dispatch the elevator to respond to the current regular instruction according to a preset regular elevator dispatching logic. The preset regular elevator dispatching logic can be an elevator dispatching logic targeting the shortest time or the maximum transport capacity. Exemplarily, when the regular elevator dispatching logic is an elevator dispatching logic targeting the shortest time, for destination floor elevator dispatching or in a group control with 2 elevators, Elevator A goes up from the 3rd floor, with a 6th floor registration inside the car and a 40S door-holding need registered, and Elevator B goes up from the 1st floor, with a 6th floor registration inside the car; if there is a passenger calling the elevator at the 4th floor to go to the 8th floor at this time, after considering the door-holding needs of the target registration information, when dispatching Elevator B to respond to the current regular instruction can reach the destination floor of the current regular instruction faster than dispatching Elevator A, then dispatch Elevator B to respond to this regular instruction, and when dispatching Elevator A to respond to the current regular instruction can reach the destination floor of the current regular instruction faster, then dispatch Elevator A to respond to this regular instruction.

[0074] By considering the door-holding needs during elevator dispatching in this embodiment, the elevator operation situation can be estimated more accurately, the elevator response or transportation duration can be estimated more accurately, and thus the elevator transport capacity efficiency can be increased while improving the customer's elevator riding experience.

[0075] In some of these embodiments, it further includes:

[0076] After reaching the door-holding registration floor and detecting the cancellation of the door-holding need, control the elevator to close the door in advance.

[0077] Specifically, when the elevator reaches the departure floor or the destination floor, determine whether this floor is the door-holding registration floor. If it is not the door-holding registration floor, handle it according to the regular door-opening duration; if it is the door-holding registration floor, directly enter the door-holding mode after reaching the door-holding registration floor and execute according to the door-holding duration registered in the door-holding need, without the passenger additionally triggering the door-opening button outside the hall or inside the car. The above-mentioned closing the door in advance refers to entering the early door-closing state for the door-holding mode, that is, performing the door-closing action according to the regular door-opening duration.

[0078] Further, after reaching the floor where door opening is to be maintained for registration, it is detected whether the door opening duration has reached the duration of the preset level. If so, the door is closed or controlled by the actions of the light curtain or the door opening button (closing the door may not be allowed during the actions of the light curtain or the door opening button); if the duration of the preset level has not been reached, it is further detected whether the in-car door closing button is triggered, or whether the hall-side triggering device cancels the door opening maintenance requirement. If there is no action, the door opening is continued to be maintained; if there is an action, the door opening maintenance is cancelled, and then the door is closed or controlled by the actions of the light curtain or the door opening button (closing the door may not be allowed during the actions of the light curtain or the door opening button).

[0079] In this embodiment, after detecting that the door opening maintenance requirement is cancelled, the elevator can be controlled to close the door in advance, and more convenient ways to cancel the door opening maintenance requirement, such as the in-car door closing button or the hall-side triggering device, are provided.

[0080] In some of these embodiments, it further includes:[[]]

[0081] According to the level of the door opening maintenance requirement and the actual door opening duration in the target registration information, determine the non-standard usage record of the door opening maintenance requirement; and correspondingly restrict the use of the door opening maintenance requirement.

[0082] Specifically, obtain the actual door opening duration of the passenger according to the elevator operation information. Specifically, the duration from when the elevator arrives at the door opening position until the last action of the elevator light curtain can be used as the actual door opening duration. Determine the non-standard usage record based on the door opening maintenance duration corresponding to the door opening maintenance requirement level in the target registration information and the actual door opening duration. In one embodiment, if the actual door opening duration is less than the preset range of the door opening maintenance duration corresponding to the door opening maintenance requirement level in the target registration information, it is determined as a non-standard usage situation, recorded and formed into a non-standard usage record. If the non-standard usage record of the passenger reaches the preset number of times, the use of the door opening maintenance requirement can be restricted; further, the specific restriction methods include completely restricting the inability to use the door opening maintenance function or gradually restricting the use of the door opening maintenance function; completely restricting the inability to use the door opening maintenance function means permanently not being allowed to use all the functions of door opening maintenance; gradual restriction means that when the non-standard usage record reaches different numbers of times, corresponding different preset levels of usage restrictions or corresponding usage restrictions within different preset time periods are carried out; for the passengers whose use is restricted, when triggering the target instruction in the hall-side triggering device, they will not be able to register the door opening maintenance requirement due to lack of usage authority.

[0083] Among them, the corresponding preset range can be determined according to the level of the door-opening holding requirement; the situation where the actual door-opening duration does not conform to the preset range is regarded as an irregular use record. Specifically, a corresponding preset range can be set for each level. Exemplarily, for the high-level door-opening holding duration of 60S in the above embodiment, its preset range can be set to 50S - 60S, and for the medium-level door-opening holding duration of 40S, its preset range can be set to 30S - 40S. Reasonable intervals are set in this way. If the registered level is the high-level 60S and the actual door-opening duration is 40S, it means that the elevator rider has selected an inappropriate door-opening holding requirement level, and it is regarded as an irregular use record. Or for example, the elevator rider selects to use the high-level door-opening holding for 60S at the arrival floor, but the actual door-opening time of the elevator from the arrival and door-opening to the last closing action before closing is only 20S (even lower than the low-level door-opening holding duration of 25S), which means that the elevator rider registers the door-opening holding requirement but the actual door-opening duration is lower than the lowest-level door-opening holding duration, indicating that the elevator rider does not actually use this function, so it is considered that the elevator rider uses the door-opening holding function irregularly. The irregular use situations of the door-opening holding requirement include the situation where the door-opening holding requirement is registered but not actually used, and the situation where the registered level of the door-opening holding requirement does not match the actual door-opening duration.

[0084] By recording the irregular use situation of the elevator rider's door-opening holding requirement in this embodiment and performing corresponding restrictions, the abuse of the door-opening holding requirement function can be avoided, and the waste of elevator carrying capacity can be avoided.

[0085] The following describes and illustrates this embodiment through preferred embodiments.

[0086] Figure 3 is the flowchart of the elevator dispatching method based on door-opening holding in this embodiment, as Figure 3 shown, this method includes the following steps:

[0087] Step S301, after detecting the trigger of the current target instruction outside the hall, obtain the target registration information of the current target instruction; the target registration information includes the departure floor, the destination floor, and the door-opening holding requirement; the door-opening holding requirement includes at least one preset level of door-opening holding duration and the door-opening holding registration floor.

[0088] Step S302, when the level of the door-opening holding requirement and the door-opening holding registration floor meet the preset conditions, dispatch an elevator alone to respond to the current target instruction.

[0089] Step S303, when the level of the door-opening holding requirement and the door-opening holding registration floor do not meet the preset conditions, dispatch an elevator to respond to the current target instruction according to the target registration information and the responded instructions in the elevator operation information with the preset conventional elevator dispatching logic.

[0090] Step S304, after detecting the triggering of the current regular instruction outside the hall, obtain the regular registration information of the current regular instruction; according to the target registration information of the currently responded target instruction and the regular registration information, dispatch the elevator to respond to the current regular instruction according to the preset regular elevator dispatching logic.

[0091] Step S305, when arriving at the door-opening hold registration floor and detecting the cancellation of the door-opening hold requirement, control the elevator to close the door in advance.

[0092] Step S306, determine the corresponding preset range according to the level of the door-opening hold requirement; regard the situation where the actual door-opening duration does not meet the preset range as an irregular use record; and correspondingly restrict the use of the door-opening hold requirement.

[0093] In one of the embodiments, Figure 4 is the schematic flow diagram of the door-opening hold requirement registration in this embodiment. As Figure 4 shown, the passenger registers the destination floor on the selector and obtains the registration permission for the door-opening hold requirement of the person. If there is no permission (the reason for no permission may be system settings or the restriction for triggering irregular use of this function takes effect), the function is not allowed to be used; if the function is allowed to be used (including using part of this door-opening hold requirement function), the passenger is asked to confirm whether there is a door-opening hold requirement. If not, the process ends; if so, the passenger selects the corresponding door-opening hold registration floor (departure floor and / or destination floor) and the level of the door-opening hold requirement of this function, and transmits the registration information to the elevator dispatching system.

[0094] In one of the embodiments, Figure 5 is the schematic flow diagram of dispatching the elevator to respond to the passenger elevator instruction in this embodiment. As Figure 5 shown, the passenger elevator instruction includes a target instruction with a door-opening hold requirement and a regular instruction without a door-opening hold requirement. For passengers with a door-opening hold requirement, first, the elevator system needs to obtain their registration information and the elevator operation information of this group. If the conditions for dispatching the elevator to respond separately are not met, the elevator is dispatched according to the regular logic; if the conditions for dispatching the elevator separately are met (for example: when the registered door-opening hold requirement of the passenger is the highest level or the intermediate level, and both the departure floor and the destination floor require the door-opening hold requirement, and the group composition can dispatch an idle elevator to respond within a certain time), the elevator is dispatched separately to respond to this instruction.

[0095] For passengers without a door-opening hold requirement, first, the system needs to obtain their registration information and the elevator operation information of this group, and dispatch the elevator according to the regular logic considering that the door-opening hold takes longer than the normal door-opening time when the elevator stops at the floor.

[0096] In some of the embodiments, Figure 6 is the schematic implementation flow diagram of the door-opening hold function in this embodiment. As Figure 6As shown, after the elevator reaches the departure floor or the destination floor, it is determined whether there is a pre-registered door-opening hold requirement on this floor. If not, it is processed according to the normal door-opening duration. If there is a door-opening hold requirement, the door is held open for the corresponding duration registered for the pre-registered door-opening hold requirement. However, the door-opening hold is cancelled in case of cancellation of the door-opening hold or when the in-car door-close button is actuated, and the door-opening hold is cancelled in advance.

[0097] In some of these embodiments, Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the cancellation process of the door-opening hold function in this embodiment. As Figure 7 shown, after the elevator reaches the departure floor or the destination floor, if there is a door-opening hold requirement, it is necessary to further determine whether a door-opening hold cancellation operation has been performed. First, it is detected whether the door-opening duration has reached the preset duration of the door-opening hold requirement level. If it has reached, the door closing is controlled by the actions of the light curtain and the door-opening button (the door closing may not be allowed during the actions of the light curtain and the door-opening button). If the preset duration has not been reached, it is further detected whether the in-car door-close button and the door-opening hold operation of the hall call selector have been actuated. If not, the door remains open. If there is an actuation, the door-opening hold is cancelled, and then the door closing is controlled by the actions of the light curtain and the door-opening button (the door closing may not be allowed during the actions of the light curtain and the door-opening button).

[0098] In some of these embodiments, Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the process of counting non-standard usage records in this embodiment. As Figure 8 shown, the elevator system needs to obtain the target registration information of its target command and the elevator operation information of this group. Further, it is necessary to obtain the duration from when the door opens in place for the corresponding target command to the last actuation of the light curtain, and determine whether it exceeds the set value of the door-opening hold requirement level (for example: the set value is 70%, then a duration greater than 70% is considered standard, otherwise it is non-standard). If it is lower than the set value, it is considered that the selection of the door-opening hold requirement level is inappropriate (non-standard), and the number of non-standard usage records of the door-opening hold requirement is incremented by one. If it exceeds the set value, it is considered that the selection of the door-opening hold requirement level is appropriate (standard). Further, the total number of non-standard usage records is obtained. If it does not exceed the set value, it can continue to be used. If it exceeds the set number of times, the elevator rider can be restricted from using some or all of the door-opening hold functions (it can be imagined that this number can be divided into levels, that is, different levels of restrictions are imposed when different numbers are reached).

[0099] In this embodiment, the passengers can pre-register the door-holding requirement. According to whether the target registration information meets the preset conditions, an elevator is dispatched individually or dispatched according to a preset logic to respond to the current target instruction. Different preset levels of the door-holding requirement and early cancellation operations are also provided, improving the door-holding function. Moreover, when dispatching the elevator, the door-holding requirement in the target registration information is considered, which can more accurately estimate the elevator operation situation, improving the riding experience and elevator dispatching efficiency. In addition, the situations of passengers' improper use of the door-holding requirement can be recorded and corresponding restrictions can be imposed, which can avoid the abuse of the door-holding requirement function and the waste of elevator capacity.

[0100] It should be noted that the steps shown in the above process or the flowchart of the accompanying drawings can be executed in a computer system such as a set of computer-executable instructions. And although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described can be executed in a different order than here.

[0101] In this embodiment, a dispatching device based on door holding is also provided. This device is used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred implementation manners, and those that have been described will not be repeated here. The following terms such as "module", "unit", "sub-unit", etc. can be a combination of software and / or hardware that can achieve a predetermined function. Although the devices described in the following embodiments are preferably implemented in software, implementation in hardware, or a combination of software and hardware is also possible and contemplated.

[0102] Figure 9 is the structural block diagram of the dispatching device based on door holding in this embodiment. As Figure 9 shown, the device includes:

[0103] An instruction trigger module 10, configured to obtain the target registration information of the current target instruction after detecting an out-of-hall trigger of the current target instruction; the target registration information includes a door-holding requirement, and the door-holding requirement includes the level of the door-holding requirement and the door-holding registration floor.

[0104] A dispatching control module 20, configured to dispatch an elevator individually to respond to the current target instruction when the level of the door-holding requirement and the door-holding registration floor meet the preset conditions; when the level of the door-holding requirement and the door-holding registration floor do not meet the preset conditions, dispatch an elevator to respond to the current target instruction according to the target registration information and the elevator operation information according to a preset conventional dispatching logic.

[0105] Through the device provided in this embodiment, passengers can pre-register the door-opening hold requirement. According to whether the target registration information meets the preset conditions, an elevator is dispatched individually or dispatched according to a preset logic to respond to the current target instruction, improving the door-opening hold function. And when dispatching the elevator, the door-opening hold requirement in the target registration information is considered, which can more accurately estimate the elevator operation situation, improving the riding experience and the elevator dispatching efficiency.

[0106] It should be noted that the above-mentioned each module can be a functional module or a program module, which can be implemented either by software or by hardware. For the modules implemented by hardware, the above-mentioned each module can be located in the same processor; or the above-mentioned each module can also be located in different processors in any combined form.

[0107] In this embodiment, an elevator dispatching system based on door-opening hold is also provided, including an out-of-hall triggering device and the elevator dispatching device based on door-opening hold in the above embodiment;

[0108] The out-of-hall triggering device is used for out-of-hall passengers to register and trigger target instructions and / or regular instructions.

[0109] Specifically, for passengers with elevator riding needs who need to keep the elevator door open for a long time during entering and leaving the elevator, the out-of-hall triggering device installed at the landing is used to register and trigger the current target instruction. The target registration information of the current target instruction includes the departure floor where the passenger is located, the registered destination floor, and the door-opening hold requirement. Optionally, when registering the destination floor, the pre-registration of the door-opening hold requirement can be carried out at the same time. Specifically, it can be registered that the door-opening hold requirement is needed at the departure floor and / or the destination floor to extend the door-opening hold time.

[0110] For passengers with elevator riding needs and without door-opening hold requirements, the out-of-hall triggering device installed at the landing is used to register and trigger the current regular instruction. The regular registration information of the current regular instruction includes the departure floor where the passenger is located and the registered destination floor.

[0111] The out-of-hall triggering device can be a touch screen. Passengers can light up the destination floor and "door-opening hold at the departure floor" and / or "door-opening hold at the destination floor" through the virtual buttons in the device to trigger the door-opening hold requirement. In addition, the door-opening hold requirement can also be a physical button, which consists of a contact switch and a button light. Passengers can trigger the door-opening hold requirement at the destination floor by triggering the door-opening hold requirement and the destination floor together, and the buttons of "door-opening hold at the departure floor" and "door-opening hold at the destination floor" can also be set separately.
