Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of elevator billing, and in particular to an elevator billing and control system. Background Art

[0002] When installing elevators in older residential communities, the question of how to share the cost of elevator rides often leads to tensions between neighbors. Residents on lower floors, believing they use the elevator less frequently, are unwilling to bear the higher fees, while those on higher floors believe the elevators are essential and should bear more of the cost. This disagreement often requires bargaining to reach a seemingly fair agreement, but it can still ultimately lead to neighborhood conflicts.

[0003] In order to reduce the disagreement on elevator fares, different charging standards are generally set according to the height of the floor. The higher the floor, the higher the fee. However, this method still cannot clearly calculate the ride fee. Due to the different acceptance levels of residents, this method still cannot completely solve the problem of fee differences. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention discloses an elevator billing and control system, which aims to solve the technical problem that in order to reduce the disagreement on elevator fares, different charging standards are generally set according to the height of the floor, and the higher the floor, the higher the fee. However, this method still cannot clearly calculate the ride fee. Due to the different acceptance levels of residents, this method still cannot completely solve the problem of charging disputes.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An elevator billing and control system includes a user identification unit, a calculation setting unit, a fee calculation unit, a trip query unit, a payment unit, a fault detection unit, and an elevator service management system, wherein the user identification unit is used to establish information transmission between the system and the user's IC card, the calculation setting unit is used to set a calculation method for trip electricity charges, and the fee calculation unit calculates the elevator operation electricity charge based on the calculation method set by the calculation setting unit;

[0007] The calculation setting unit includes a basic calculation setting module and an apportionment calculation setting module. The basic calculation setting module is used to set the calculation method between floors and electricity charges. The apportionment calculation setting module is used to set the electricity charge apportionment calculation method when multiple people take the elevator.

[0008] The fee calculation unit includes a floor information acquisition module, a user information matching module, a unit price setting module, and a fee calculation module. The floor information acquisition module acquires the floor number based on the floor information selected by the user, the user information matching module is used to match the user's personal information, the unit price setting module is used to set the electricity price required for a single floor of the elevator, and the fee calculation module calculates the electricity price required for a single personal ride and the total monthly electricity fee based on the setting result of the calculation setting unit and the acquired information.

[0009] The user identification unit includes a user authorization module, a user identification module and a floor selection module. The user authorization module is used to grant the user's IC card the authority to operate the elevator and connect to the elevator service management system. The user identification module is used to identify the user's IC card information. The floor selection module is used for the user to select the required floor after the IC card is identified.

[0010] By setting up a calculation setting unit and a fee calculation unit, before using the elevator each time, the user swipes the card and selects the target floor. The system will automatically record and calculate the electricity cost required to reach that floor. After reaching the target floor, if the user needs to go to the next floor, he must swipe the card again to open the elevator door. When each user swipes the card, the system will record the number of times and floors he uses the elevator for subsequent calculation of electricity fee sharing. Based on the calculation mode set by the calculation setting unit, when a user uses the elevator alone, he will bear the entire electricity fee for the trip alone. If multiple users use the elevator at the same time, the system will automatically calculate and share the electricity fee based on the floor and usage time selected by each user. In this way, each user only needs to pay the fee corresponding to his own trip, which realizes fair sharing. It can also effectively manage the use of elevators and the calculation of fees, thereby improving the efficiency of elevator use and user satisfaction.

[0011] In a preferred solution, the itinerary query unit is used by the user to query past itinerary information, the payment unit is used by the user to pay the electricity bill, the fault detection unit is used for elevator fault detection and warning, and the elevator service management system is a system displayed on the mobile terminal that can obtain elevator service functions;

[0012] The trip query unit includes a trip recording module, a fee recording module, a data integration module, an IC card matching module, a data transmission module, a password setting module, a trip query module, and a data query module. The password setting module, the trip query module, and the data query module are connected to the elevator service management system. The trip recording module is used to record all trip records of the user taking the elevator, the fee recording module is used to record all fee records of the user taking the elevator, and the data integration module is used to integrate all data;

[0013] The IC card matching module is used to match the user's IC card with all its records. The data transmission module is used to remotely transmit the user's travel records and expense records to the IC card. The password setting module allows the user to set the password required to obtain the IC card records. The itinerary query module is used to query all itineraries. The data query module is used to query all data.

[0014] By setting up a travel query unit, all data of all users can be stored and integrated in the travel query unit and transmitted to the IC card for storage. When the user uses the NFC function of the mobile terminal to identify the IC card, the elevator service management system can be displayed on the mobile terminal, making it convenient for the user to query his or her own elevator riding information to meet the query needs. The password setting unit can also ensure that personal information is not easily leaked.

[0015] In a preferred solution, the fault detection unit includes a fault self-detection module, a fault alarm module, an IC card identification module, a remote alarm module and a positioning transmission module. The fault self-detection module detects the fault of the user elevator, and the fault alarm module sends an alarm message after the fault self-detection module detects a fault.

[0016] The IC card identification module is used for the elevator to identify IC card information. The remote alarm module again utilizes the NFC function of the mobile terminal to remotely alarm in the elevator service management system. The positioning transmission module is used to remotely transmit the elevator positioning to the alarm unit.

[0017] By setting up a fault detection unit, the fault detection unit uses a fault self-detection module to realize self-inspection of elevator faults, and the fault alarm module can ensure that users no longer take the elevator. If a fault occurs during the ride and causes the elevator to stagnate, a remote alarm can be issued in the elevator service management system. The alarm unit can obtain the elevator stagnation position through the positioning transmission module, so that rescue personnel can quickly lock the scene and optimize the rescue speed.

[0018] In a preferred solution, the payment unit includes an integrated QR code generation module and a payment module. The integrated QR code generation module is used to generate a QR code of an integrated payment module, and the QR code is placed near the elevator. The payment module is used for users to pay electricity bills after scanning the code with their mobile phones.

[0019] By setting up a payment unit, a QR code with an integrated payment module can be generated by the QR code generation module in the payment unit. The QR code is posted near the elevator. When the user takes the elevator, the QR code can be scanned by the mobile phone to enter the payment interface and quickly pay the electricity bill, which is more convenient for users.

[0020] As can be seen from the above, an elevator billing and control system is installed, including a user identification unit, a calculation setting unit, a fee calculation unit, a trip query unit, a fault detection unit and an elevator service management system, characterized in that the user identification unit is used to establish information transmission between the system and the user's IC card, the calculation setting unit is used to set the calculation method of the trip electricity fee, and the fee calculation unit calculates the elevator operation electricity fee based on the calculation method set by the calculation setting unit; the calculation setting unit includes a basic calculation setting module and an apportionment calculation setting module, the basic calculation setting module is used to set the calculation method between the floor and the electricity fee, and the apportionment calculation setting module is used to set the electricity fee apportionment calculation method when multiple people take the elevator; the fee calculation unit includes a floor information acquisition module, a user information matching module, a unit price setting module and a fee calculation module, the floor information acquisition module obtains the floor number based on the floor information selected by the user, the user information matching module is used to match the user's personal information, the unit price setting module is used to set the electricity fee price required for a single floor of the elevator, and the fee calculation module calculates the electricity fee price required for an individual single ride and the total monthly electricity fee based on the setting result of the calculation setting unit and the information obtained. The elevator charging and control system provided by the present invention has the technical effect of realizing fair sharing of elevator costs, effectively managing the use of elevators and the calculation of costs, and improving the use efficiency of elevators and user satisfaction.
