Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an elevator control device, an elevator control system, and an elevator control setting method. [Background technology]

[0002] Technologies relating to elevator control devices, elevator control systems, and elevator control setting methods are disclosed in the following Patent Document 1. Patent Document 1 states that "the system is equipped with hall call buttons installed at the halls, an instruction device installed inside the car that indicates which hall call buttons to disable, and a control unit that disables the hall call buttons based on the instructions of the instruction device. ...Because the call button for the desired floor can be disabled from inside the car, this enables smooth firefighting and rescue operations in the event of a fire." [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2012-180200 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Incidentally, in addition to the above-mentioned firefighting and rescue activities, it is also assumed that the invalidation of elevator call registrations is carried out for the purpose of preventing general customers from entering floors under construction or store floors after closing. In this case, in the technology described in Patent Document 1, only the hall call button is invalidated. Therefore, a user in the car can operate the car call button to specify the floor where the hall call button is invalidated as the destination floor and enter the specified floor. However, since the hall call button for the floor is invalidated, it is impossible to escape from the floor by elevator. This causes the user to be trapped on the floor.

[0005] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide an elevator control device, an elevator control system, and an elevator control setting method that are capable of invalidating call registration at any time without trapping users on that floor. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, for example, the configurations described in the claims are adopted. The present application includes a number of means for solving the above problems. To give an example of such means, In an elevator control device that sets elevator control based on setting information input from a terminal device, an elevator information storage unit that stores elevator floor information; a destination floor registration invalidation setting storage unit that stores whether or not a destination floor registration for a floor stored in the elevator information storage unit is invalidated; and a screen configuration unit that outputs to the terminal device, a floor stored in the destination floor registration invalid setting memory unit as a floor for which the hall call invalid setting can be changed. Effect of the Invention

[0007] The present invention makes it possible to provide an elevator control device, an elevator control system, and an elevator control setting method that are capable of invalidating call registration at any time without trapping a user on that floor. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0009] Hereinafter, an elevator control device, an elevator control system, and an elevator control setting method according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Note that the same components in each embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions of the same components will be omitted.

[0010] <Elevator control system> FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an elevator control system according to an embodiment. The elevator control system 1 shown in this figure is a system that controls the invalidation of a call registration (not shown) provided in an elevator device 2. There are two types of call registration: destination floor registration, which registers the destination floor of an elevator, and hall call registration, which calls the elevator to the floor where the elevator is boarded. Destination floor registration is generally performed using a car button provided in the elevator car of the elevator device 2, and hall call registration is generally performed using a hall button provided at the hall, but the registration method is not important. For example, it is also possible to register a destination floor from a hall, or to register a destination floor and hall call using a smartphone or the like. Invalidating a call registration means, for example, making it impossible to get on and off the car at a specific floor even if a call button for a specific floor among the call buttons provided in the elevator device 2 is pressed, and also includes making it impossible to press a call button for a specific floor.

[0011] Such an elevator control system 1 includes a screen display terminal 10, a remote control server 30, a remote control terminal 50, and an elevator control device 70. The screen display terminal 10, the remote control server 30, the remote control terminal 50, and the elevator control device 70 are configured by a computer. The computer is a so-called computer hardware, and includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and other non-volatile storage units, and a network interface. These are connected via communication lines 21, 22, and 23, for example. The configurations of the screen display terminal 10, the remote control server 30, the remote control terminal 50, and the elevator control device 70 included in the elevator control system 1 will be described below.

[0012] <Screen display terminal 10> The screen display terminal 10 is a terminal device for setting the call registration invalidation, and is, for example, a terminal device held or carried by the manager [H] of the elevator device 2. This screen display terminal 10 has a display unit that displays a setting screen for the call registration invalidation. The display unit may also serve as an input unit that allows, for example, tapping or touching operations, or may be a display unit that allows input by clicking operations using a mouse or keyboard.

[0013] This screen display terminal 10 is connected to the remote control server 30 via a communication line 21, and displays a setting screen for disabling call registration in response to an instruction from the remote control server 30. The screen display terminal 10 also transmits information set by tapping (hereinafter including touching or clicking) an icon (also referred to as a button or banner) displayed on the setting screen to the remote control server 30 via the communication line 21. Details of the setting screen displayed on the screen display terminal 10 will be described later in the elevator control setting method.

[0014] <Remote Control Server 30> The remote control server 30 is a control server for constructing a setting screen for invalidating call registration. The remote control server 30 includes a screen configuration unit 31, an elevator information storage unit 32, a destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 33, and a control terminal communication unit .

[0015] [Screen configuration section 31] The screen configuration unit 31 is a part that configures a setting screen for call registration invalidation to be displayed on the screen display terminal 10, and stores a program for configuring the setting screen in a non-volatile storage unit. This screen configuration unit 31 configures the setting screen by carrying out processing based on the setting information from the screen display terminal 10 and the information stored in the elevator information storage unit 32 and the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 33 in accordance with the procedures of the stored program, and transmits the configured setting screen to the screen display terminal 10. Details of the configuration process of the setting screen by the screen configuration unit 31 will be described below in the elevator control setting method.

[0016] [Elevator information storage unit 32] The elevator information storage unit 32 is a part that stores floor information [d1] of the elevator device 2 for which call registration invalidation can be set. The floor information [d1] is an elevator floor where the car of the elevator device 2 can land, and is the number of floors for which call registration invalidation / non-invalidation can be set. This floor information [d1] is information that is set in advance by input from the screen display terminal 10, for example.

[0017] [Destination floor registration invalid setting memory unit 33] The destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 33 is a part that stores the setting information of the call registration invalidation that was set last time. The setting information stored in the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 33 is the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3]. The destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] is information on a floor that is set so that it cannot be specified as the destination floor of the elevator device 2. Furthermore, the hall call invalid floor information [d3] is information on a floor that is set so that a hall call that calls the elevator to the floor where the elevator is boarded cannot be made. The destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] are setting information of the call registration invalidation that is currently set by the previous setting, and are information set on the screen display terminal 10.

[0018] [Control terminal communication unit 34] The control terminal communication unit 34 transmits the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] stored in the destination floor registration invalid setting memory unit 33 to the remote control terminal 50 via the communication line 22.

[0019] <Remote control terminal 50> The remote control terminal 50 is a terminal device for remotely controlling the operation of the elevator device 2, and is, for example, a terminal device installed in a management center for remotely managing the operation of the elevator device 2. The remote control terminal 50 includes a communication unit 51, a destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 52, and a control unit 53.

[0020] [Communications Section 51] The communication unit 51 receives setting information from the control terminal communication unit 34 of the remote control server 30 via the communication line 22. The setting information received from the control terminal communication unit 34 is destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and hall call invalid floor information [d3].

[0021] [Destination floor registration invalid setting memory unit 52] The destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 52 stores the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] received by the communication unit 51.

[0022] [Control unit 53] The control unit 53 controls the operation of the elevator device 2 based on the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] stored in the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 52. In this case, the control unit 53 transmits the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] stored in the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 52 to the elevator control device 70 of the elevator device 2 via the communication line 23.

[0023] <Elevator control device 70> The elevator control device 70 is provided in the elevator device 2, and controls the operation of the elevator device 2, including the running of the passenger car of the elevator device 2 and the opening and closing of the car door. The elevator control device 70 controls the operation of the elevator device 2 so as to invalidate the call registration of a floor that is set as an invalid floor, based on the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] transmitted from the remote control terminal 50.

[0024] Specifically, the elevator control device 70 controls the operation of the elevator device 2 so that even if the car button of a floor set in the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] is pressed, the elevator control device 70 does not allow the car to land on the floor or passengers to get off from the car. Also, even if the hall button of a floor set in the hall call invalid floor information [d3] is pressed, the elevator control device 2 controls the operation so that the car to land on the floor or passengers to get on the car is not allowed.

[0025] Each of the components of the remote control terminal 50 described above may be included in the elevator control device 70. In this case, the setting information from the remote control server 30 is configured to be transmitted to the elevator control device 70.

[0026] <Elevator control setting method (first embodiment)> Next, a first embodiment of an elevator control setting method implemented by the above-described elevator control system 1 will be described.

[0027] Fig. 2 is a flowchart showing an elevator control setting method according to an embodiment. The procedure shown in this flowchart is a procedure for setting call registration invalidation of the elevator device 2 in accordance with the programs possessed by each unit of the elevator control system 1 described using Fig. 1. Below, the procedure of the elevator control setting method will be described along the flowchart of Fig. 2 with reference to Fig. 1 and other figures.

[0028] <Step S0 (Fig. 2)> In step S0, the screen composition unit 31 of the remote control server 30 determines whether or not the call registration invalid setting has been started. The screen composition unit 31 performs this determination based on information input by operating the screen display terminal 10, for example.

[0029] In this case, for example, a destination floor registration / hall call setting screen icon is displayed on the screen display terminal 10. When the destination floor registration / hall call setting screen icon displayed on the screen display terminal 10 is tapped, the screen configuration unit 31 determines that the call registration invalid setting has been started (YES) and proceeds to the next step S1. Otherwise, the determination is repeated.

[0030] <Step S1 (Fig. 2)> In step S1, the screen configuration unit 31 of the remote control server 30 performs construction processing of a call registration invalid setting screen. The screen configuration unit 31 performs construction processing of a call registration invalid setting screen based on the floor information [d1] stored in the elevator information storage unit 32, and the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] stored in the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 33.

[0031] Fig. 3 is a flow chart showing the construction process of the call registration invalid setting screen according to the first embodiment, and is a diagram showing a detailed procedure of the construction process of the call registration invalid setting screen in step S1 shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the call registration invalid setting screen 200 constructed in the first embodiment, which is a screen finally constructed by the flow of Fig. 3. First, the call registration invalid setting screen 200 constructed by the screen configuration unit 31 in this step S1 will be described based on Fig. 4 with reference to Fig. 1.

[0032] 4 is a screen for setting the destination floor registration and hall call invalidation of the elevator device 2 for each floor, and shows a case of a total of five floors (floor information [d1]=5) as an example. This call registration invalidation setting screen 200 displays a destination floor registration invalidation setting section 200a for setting the invalidation of destination floor registration for each floor, and a hall call invalidation setting section 200b for setting the invalidation of hall calls for each floor.

[0033] Among these, the destination floor registration invalid setting section 200a displays destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a-205a for invalidating the destination floor registration corresponding to each floor. Each of the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a-205a corresponds to the current setting status, and is displayed so that it can be determined whether each floor is set as an invalid floor or not. In the illustrated example, the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a-204a corresponding to the 1st to 4th floors are invalid floor setting indications, and the destination floor registration invalid setting icon 205a corresponding to the 5th floor is invalid floor not setting indications.

[0034] Furthermore, all of these destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a are active icons whose invalid setting can be changed by a tap operation, and the invalid floor setting can be changed from not set to set, or vice versa, by a tap operation.

[0035] Furthermore, the hall call invalid setting section 200b displays hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205b for setting invalidation of hall calls corresponding to each floor. Each hall call invalid setting icon 201b to 205b corresponds to a current setting status, and is displayed so that it can be determined whether the icon is active or inactive, and further whether it is set to an invalid floor or not. Of the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205b, only the active icons that are actively displayed can be set and the setting display can be changed by a tap operation, and the inactive icons that are inactively displayed cannot be tapped.

[0036] In the illustrated example, the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 204b corresponding to the 1st to 4th floors are active, and the setting state for the invalid floors is not set. On the other hand, the hall call invalid setting icon 205b corresponding to the 5th floor is inactive.

[0037] That is, the screen configuration unit 31 (see FIG. 1) activates only the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 204b of floors (here, floors 1 to 4) where the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a indicate an invalid floor setting. On the other hand, the hall call invalid setting icon 205b of a floor (here, floor 5) where the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a indicate an invalid floor non-setting is inactivated. Furthermore, of the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205b, all inactive icons (here, hall call invalid setting icon 205b) indicate that the setting state for the invalid floor is not set.

[0038] Although the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a are displayed as active or inactive, the inactive icons among the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a may be hidden.

[0039] The call registration invalid setting screen 200 may hide the hall call invalid setting icon 205b corresponding to a floor (here, the 5th floor) that is not set and displayed as an invalid floor among the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a. By hiding the icon, the invalid floor may be in an inactive state in which the setting cannot be changed, and this is the same for the subsequent invalid setting screens.

[0040] Hereinafter, the procedure of the process of creating the call registration invalid setting screen 200 shown in FIG. 4 will be described in the order shown in the flow of FIG. 3 with reference to FIGS.

[0041] [Step S101 (Fig. 3)] In step S101, the screen composition unit 31 acquires floor information [d1] from the elevator information memory unit 32, and acquires destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and hall call invalid floor information [d3] as current setting information from the destination floor registration invalid setting memory unit 33.

[0042] [Step S102 (Fig. 3)] In step S102, the screen composition unit 31 performs a process of setting the lowest floor as the confirmation floor for confirming the current setting.

[0043] [Step S103 (Fig. 3)] In step S103, the screen configuration unit 31 judges whether the confirmation floor is set as an invalid floor for destination floor registration based on the information acquired in step S101. If the screen configuration unit 31 judges that the confirmation floor is set as an invalid floor for destination floor registration (YES), the screen configuration unit 31 proceeds to step S104. In the example shown in FIG. 4, if the confirmation floor is any of the 1st to 4th floors, the screen configuration unit 31 judges that the confirmation floor is set as an invalid floor for destination floor registration (YES), and proceeds to step S104.

[0044] On the other hand, if it is determined that the destination floor registration is not set as an invalid floor (NO), the process proceeds to step S104a. In the example shown in Fig. 4, if the confirmation floor is the 5th floor, it is determined that the destination floor registration is not set as an invalid floor (NO), and the process proceeds to step S104a.

[0045] [Step S104 (Fig. 3)] In step S104, the screen composition unit 31 activates the hall call invalid setting icon for the confirmation floor, and displays the activated icon, and then proceeds to step S105.

[0046] [Step S104a (FIG. 3)] On the other hand, in step S104a, the screen composition unit 31 deactivates the hall call invalid setting icon of the confirmation floor, and displays it as inactive. Then, the process proceeds to step S105.

[0047] [Step S105 (Fig. 3)] In step S105, the screen composition unit 31 judges whether the confirmed floor is the top floor or not, and if it is judged to be the top floor (YES), the processing ends. On the other hand, if it is judged to be not the top floor (NO), the processing proceeds to step S106.

[0048] [Step S106 (Fig. 3)] In step S106, the screen composition unit 31 performs an increment process of the confirmed floor +1, and returns to step S103.

[0049] Through the above process, the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205b for each floor in the hall call setting section 200b of the call registration invalid setting screen 200 shown in FIG. 4 are set to active or inactive, and the process is terminated.

[0050] In addition to the above-mentioned construction process of the call registration invalid setting screen shown in FIG. 3, the screen configuration unit 31 sets the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a of each floor displayed in the destination floor registration invalid setting unit 200a to set display or not set display based on the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] acquired from the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 33. Furthermore, based on the hall call invalid floor information [d3] acquired from the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 33, the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205b of each floor displayed in the hall call invalid setting unit 200b to set display or not set display. In this case, only the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 204b of the floors determined to be active according to the flow of FIG. 3 are set display or not set display, and the construction process of the call registration invalid setting screen 200 shown in FIG. 4 (step S1 in FIG. 2) is terminated. Then, proceed to step S2 in FIG. 2.

[0051] <Step S2 (Fig. 2)> In step S2, the screen configuration unit 31 performs a call registration invalid setting process. In this case, the screen configuration unit 31 performs the call registration invalid setting process based on the operation information of the call registration invalid setting screen 200 constructed in the previous step S1 and displayed on the screen display terminal 10. This call registration invalid setting process is the first to third processes described below. These first to third processes are executed simultaneously and repeatedly at high speed.

[0052] -First process- Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the first call registration invalid setting process according to the first embodiment, and shows the first process performed in step S2 in Fig. 2. Hereinafter, the first process will be described in the order shown in the flow of Fig. 5.

[0053] [Step S201a (FIG. 5)] In step S201a, the screen configuration unit 31 judges whether any of the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a has been tapped and the destination floor registration invalid setting of any floor has been changed from not set to set, or from set to not set. If it is judged that the setting has been changed (YES), the process proceeds to step S202a, and otherwise the judgment is repeated.

[0054] [Step S202a (FIG. 5)] In step S202a, the screen configuration unit 31 activates the hall call invalid setting icon of the floor for which the setting of the invalid floor has been changed from not set to set in step S201a, changing it to an active display. Also, the screen configuration unit 31 deactivates the hall call invalid setting icon of the floor for which the setting of the invalid floor has been changed from set to not set in step S201a, changing it to an inactive display.

[0055] [Step S203a (FIG. 5)] In step S203a, the screen composition unit 31 overwrites and saves the change to the destination floor registration invalidation for the floor whose setting was changed in step S201a into the destination floor registration invalidation floor information [d2] in the destination floor registration invalidation setting memory unit 33, and terminates the processing.

[0056] Here, when changing the invalid setting of the destination floor registration from set to not set, the invalid setting of the hall calls may be referenced to determine whether or not the invalid setting of the destination floor registration can be changed. In that case, for floors that are set as invalid floors for hall calls, the invalid setting of the destination floor registration cannot be changed. If a request is made to change the invalid setting of the destination floor registration, it is advisable to request that the invalid setting of the hall calls be changed first. With this configuration, only the hall calls are invalidated, making it possible to prevent being trapped on that floor.

[0057] -Second Processing- Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing the second call registration invalid setting process according to the first embodiment, and shows the second process performed in step S2 in Fig. 2. Hereinafter, the second process will be described in the order shown in the flow of Fig. 6.

[0058] [Step S201c (FIG. 6)] In step S201c, the screen composition unit 31 judges whether or not any of the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205b has been tapped and the hall call invalid setting of any floor has been changed. If it is judged that it has been changed (YES), the process proceeds to step S202c, and otherwise the judgment is repeated.

[0059] [Step S202c (FIG. 6)] In step S202c, the screen configuration unit 31 changes the display of the hall call invalid setting icon of the floor for which the setting of the invalid floor has been changed from set to not set or from not set to set in step S201c.

[0060] [Step S203c (FIG. 6)] In step S203c, the screen composition unit 31 overwrites the changed setting of the hall call disablement for the floor for which the setting was changed in step S201c into the hall call disable floor information [d3] in the destination floor registration disable setting memory unit 33, saves it, and ends the processing.

[0061] <Step S3 (Fig. 2)> Returning to the flow of Fig. 2, in step S3, the screen configuration unit 31 judges whether or not the call registration invalid setting process has been completed. For example, when the registration icon 206 displayed on the call registration invalid setting screen 200 of Fig. 4 is tapped, the screen configuration unit 31 judges that the call registration invalid setting process has been completed (YES) and proceeds to step S4. On the other hand, until the registration icon 206 is tapped, the process returns to step S2 and repeats the call registration invalid setting process.

[0062] <Step S4 (Fig. 2)> In step S4, the control terminal communication unit 34 transmits the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] overwritten and stored in the destination floor registration invalid setting memory unit 33 to the remote control terminal 50 (see Figure 1).

[0063] As a result, the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] received by the communication unit 51 of the remote control terminal 50 are overwritten and saved in the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 52 of the remote control terminal 50. Then, based on the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] saved in the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 52 of the remote control terminal 50, the elevator control device 70 controls the operation of the elevator device 2 so as to invalidate the call registration of the floor set as an invalid floor.

[0064] <Advantages of the First Embodiment> According to the first embodiment described above, among the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205a, only the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 204b corresponding to the floors whose destination floor registration has been invalidated by operating the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a can be tapped. Therefore, it is possible to set only the hall call of the floor whose destination floor registration has been invalidated as an invalid floor. As a result, the destination floor registration of the floor whose hall call has been invalidated is always invalidated, and passengers are prevented from entering the floor whose hall call has been invalidated. As a result, it is possible to invalidate the call registration at any time while preventing users from being trapped on the floor.

[0065] <Elevator control setting method (second embodiment)> Next, a second embodiment of the elevator control setting method implemented by the above-mentioned elevator control system 1 will be described. The elevator control setting method of the second embodiment differs from the elevator control setting method of the first embodiment in the determination of the start of setting in step S0' in Fig. 2 and the construction process of the call registration invalid setting screen in step S1', but the other steps are similar. Therefore, the steps of the elevator control setting method will be described below with reference to Fig. 1 and other figures along the flowchart of Fig. 2, which is the same as the first embodiment.

[0066] <Step S0' (Fig. 2)> In step S0', the screen composition unit 31 of the remote control server 30 judges whether or not the call registration invalid setting has been started. The screen composition unit 31 judges whether or not the call registration invalid setting has been started, for example, based on information input by operating the screen display terminal 10, as in the first embodiment.

[0067] 7 is a diagram showing an elevator remote control main screen according to the second embodiment, which is an example of a screen displayed on the screen display terminal 10. For example, a destination floor registration setting screen icon 101' and a hall call setting screen icon 102' are displayed on this elevator remote control main screen 100'. When the destination floor registration setting screen icon 101' is tapped, a destination floor registration disable setting screen, which will be described later, is displayed, and when the hall call setting screen icon 102' is tapped, a hall call disable setting screen, which will be described later, is displayed.

[0068] In this step S0', as an example, when any icon displayed on the elevator remote control main screen 100' shown in Fig. 7 is tapped, the screen configuration unit 31 judges that the call registration invalid setting has been started (YES) and proceeds to the next step S1'. Otherwise, the judgment is repeated.

[0069] <Step S1' (Fig. 2)> In step S1', the screen configuration unit 31 of the remote control server 30 performs construction processing of a call registration invalid setting screen. The screen configuration unit 31 (see FIG. 1) performs construction processing of a call registration invalid setting screen based on the floor information [d1] stored in the elevator information storage unit 32, and the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and the hall call invalid floor information [d3] stored in the destination floor registration invalid setting storage unit 33.

[0070] Fig. 8 is a flowchart showing the construction process of the call registration invalid setting screen according to the second embodiment, and is a diagram showing the detailed procedure of the construction process of the call registration invalid setting screen in step S1' shown in Fig. 2. The flowchart shown in Fig. 8 has a configuration in which steps S101a to S101c are added between steps S101 and S102 in the flowchart of Fig. 3 described in the first embodiment. Therefore, hereinafter, redundant explanations of the same steps as in the flowchart of Fig. 3 will be omitted, and the procedure of the construction process of the call registration invalid setting screen will be explained in the order shown in the flow of Fig. 8, with reference to Fig. 1 and other figures.

[0071] [Step S101 (Figure 8)] In step S101, the screen composition unit 31 acquires floor information [d1] from the elevator information memory unit 32, and acquires destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] and hall call invalid floor information [d3] as current setting information from the destination floor registration invalid setting memory unit 33.

[0072] [Step S101a (FIG. 8)] In step S101a, the screen configuration unit 31 determines whether or not a destination floor registration invalid floor is set. If there is at least one floor set as a destination floor registration invalid floor based on the destination floor registration invalid floor information [d2] among the setting information acquired in step S101, the screen configuration unit 31 determines that a destination floor registration invalid floor is set (YES) and proceeds to step S102. On the other hand, if there is no floor set as a destination floor registration invalid floor, the screen configuration unit 31 determines that a destination floor registration invalid floor is not set (NO) and proceeds to step S101b.

[0073] [Step S101b (FIG. 8)] In step s101b, the screen configuration unit 31 causes the screen display terminal 10 to display a guidance screen for guiding the user to a destination floor registration invalid setting screen. Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a guidance screen 300 displayed in the second embodiment. As shown in this figure, the screen configuration unit 31 causes the screen display terminal 10 to display the guidance screen 300 for prompting the user to invalidate the destination floor registration setting. This guidance screen 300 displays a shortcut 301 for transitioning to a car butane invalid setting screen described below.

[0074] When this guidance screen 300 is displayed, by tapping on the shortcut 301 displayed on the guidance screen 300, a destination floor registration disable setting screen (see the following Figure 10) is displayed on the screen display terminal 10, making it possible to disable the destination floor registration.

[0075] 10 is a diagram showing a destination floor registration invalid setting screen 200a' constructed in the second embodiment. As shown in FIG. 10, the destination floor registration invalid setting screen 200a' displays destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a for setting invalidation of destination floor registration corresponding to each floor, a registration icon 206, and a back icon 207. The registration icon 206 is an icon for registering invalid settings. The back icon 207 is an icon for returning to the elevator remote control main screen 100' shown in FIG. 7.

[0076] Each of the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a is an active icon whose setting and setting display are changed by a tap operation, and the setting of an invalid floor is changed from not set to set, or vice versa, by a tap operation. Also, each of the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a is displayed so that it can be determined whether it is set to an invalid floor or not set. When the destination floor registration invalid setting screen 200a' in FIG. 10 is displayed by a tap operation of the shortcut 301 shown in FIG. 9, all of the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a are displayed as not set.

[0077] The manager [H] of the elevator device 2 can tap the icon of the destination floor among the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a on the destination floor registration invalid setting screen 200a' displayed on the screen display terminal 10 to invalidate the destination floor registration.

[0078] [Step S101c (FIG. 8)] In step S101c, the screen configuration unit 31 deactivates the hall call disable setting icons for all floors on the hall call disable setting screen described below, and displays them as inactive. Then, the process ends.

[0079] [Step S102 (Figure 8)] Steps S102 to S106, which are carried out after it is determined in step S101a that a destination floor registration invalid floor has been set (YES), are performed in the same manner as the procedure described in the first embodiment.

[0080] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a destination floor registration invalid setting screen 200a' constructed in the second embodiment. FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of a hall call invalid setting screen 200b' constructed in the second embodiment. The hall call invalid setting screen 200b' in FIG. 12 displays hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205b for setting invalidation of hall calls corresponding to each floor, a registration icon 206, and a back icon 207. The registration icon 206 is an icon for registering invalid settings. The back icon 207 is an icon for returning to the elevator remote control main screen 100' shown in FIG. 7. The destination floor registration invalid setting screen 200a' and the hall call invalid setting screen 200b' shown in FIG. 11 and FIG. 12 are examples of screens constructed by steps S102 to S106.

[0081] 11 and 12, the screen configuration unit 31 activates only the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 204b of the floors (here, the 1st to 4th floors) that are invalid floor setting indications among the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a. On the other hand, the hall call invalid setting icon 205b of the floor (here, the 5th floor) that is invalid floor setting indication is inactive among the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a. Note that all of the inactive hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205b (here, the hall call invalid setting icon 205b) are not set to invalid floors.

[0082] The hall call invalid setting screen may hide the hall call invalid setting icon 205b of a floor (here, the 5th floor) for which the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a shown in Fig. 11 are not set as an invalid floor. By hiding the icon, the hall call invalid setting screen may be set to an inactive state in which the invalid floor setting cannot be changed.

[0083] After the above-described steps S101 to S106 (step S1 in FIG. 2) are completed, the process proceeds to step S2 in FIG. 2. Step S2 is performed in the same manner as the procedure described in the first embodiment.

[0084] <Effects of the second embodiment> According to the second embodiment described above, among the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205a, only the hall call invalid setting icons 201b to 205a corresponding to the floors whose destination floor registration has been invalidated by operating the destination floor registration invalid setting icons 201a to 205a can be tapped. Therefore, as in the first embodiment, it is possible to perform invalid setting of the call registration at any time while preventing the user from being trapped in the floor.
