[0010] The following detailed description will be given with reference to the drawings. Duplicate descriptions will be simplified or omitted as appropriate. In each drawing, the same reference numerals indicate the same or corresponding parts.

[0011] Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an example of an elevator system 1 in a first embodiment. The elevator system 1 includes an elevator device 2, a position management device 3, a receiving device 4, and a projector 5. The elevator device 2 includes multiple cars 6 and a control device 7. In the following, an example will be described in which the elevator device 2 includes a car 6 of car A and a car 6 of car B. The car of car A will also be referred to as car 6A. The car of car B will also be referred to as car 6B. The elevator device 2 may be provided with three or more cars 6.

[0012] Each car 6 stops at multiple floors in the building. Passengers can board the car 6 to travel to their desired floor. The operation of each car 6 is controlled by a control device 7. The control device 7 manages the multiple cars 6 provided in the elevator device 2 as a group. The control device 7 includes a call registration unit 71, an allocation determination unit 72, and an operation control unit 73.

[0013] The position management device 3 is capable of two-way communication with the control device 7. The position management device 3 may be realized by a server device connected to the control device 7 via a network such as the Internet. The position management device 3 may be realized by a plurality of server devices. The position management device 3 includes a storage unit 30, a position detection unit 31, a first determination unit 32, a second determination unit 33, a destination determination unit 34, a notification control unit 35, and a projection control unit 36. The projection control unit 36 ​​controls the projector 5.

[0014] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an elevator hall 8. As an example, hall 8 is a hall on the lobby floor of a building. Cars 6A and 6B stop at hall 8. In the example shown in FIG. 2, on the left side of hall 8, there is an aisle 9 leading to hall 8. On the right side of hall 8, there is an aisle 10 leading to hall 8. Hallway 9 and aisle 10 are examples of areas leading to hall 8.

[0015] A user who uses the elevator system 1 carries a terminal 11. The terminal 11 may be any type of device. The terminal 11 may be a smartphone. The terminal 11 may be a card. As an example, a UWB (Ultra-Wide Band) tag is built into the terminal 11. Identification information for identifying the terminal 11, i.e., identification information for identifying the user who carries the terminal 11, is stored in the tag.

[0016] The receiving device 4 wirelessly receives information transmitted by the terminal 11. The information includes identification information. For example, the receiving device 4 is a UWB reader. The receiving device 4 is provided at the landing 8. A plurality of receiving devices 4 may be provided at the landing 8. The receiving device 4 may be provided at the passage 9 and the passage 10. A plurality of receiving devices 4 may be provided at the passage 9. A plurality of receiving devices 4 may be provided at the passage 10. The receiving device 4 may be provided at both the landing 8 and the passage 9 and the passage 10. The information received by the receiving device 4 from the terminal 11 is transmitted to the location management device 3.

[0017] As shown in Fig. 2, an automatic registration lane L1 for a user to automatically register a destination floor and a designated lane L2 for a user to specify a destination floor are set in the passage 10. The automatic registration lane L1 is an example of a first range. The designated lane L2 is an example of a second range.

[0018] In the example shown in FIG. 2 , the automatic registration lane L1 is set in a partial range of the aisle 10. That is, a user passing through the aisle 10 can reach the landing 8 without passing through the automatic registration lane L1. The automatic registration lane L1 is not set across the entire width of the aisle 10. Similarly, the designated lane L2 is set in another partial range of the aisle 10 so as to be parallel to the automatic registration lane L1. A user passing through the aisle 10 can reach the landing 8 without passing through the designated lane L2. The designated lane L2 is not set across the entire width of the aisle 9.

[0019] It is preferable that the location of the automatic registration lane L1 in the passage 10 be displayed so that users passing through the passage 10 can recognize it. To inform users of the range in which the automatic registration lane L1 is set, a guide board made of an acrylic plate or the like may be attached to the ceiling or wall of the passage 10. In the example shown in this embodiment, the elevator system 1 is provided with a projector 5 for providing various information to users. As an example, the projection control unit 36 ​​of the position management device 3 projects a display (first display) indicating the automatic registration lane L1 from the projector 5 onto the floor of the passage 10.

[0020] Similarly, it is preferable that the location of the designated lane L2 in the passage 10 be displayed so that users passing through the passage 10 can recognize it. To inform users of the range in which the designated lane L2 is set, a guide board made of an acrylic plate or the like may be attached to the ceiling or wall of the passage 10. In the example shown in this embodiment, the projection control unit 36 ​​projects a display indicating the designated lane L2 from the projector 5 onto the floor of the passage 10. Note that the automatically registered lane L1 and the designated lane L2 do not overlap. Therefore, the display indicating the automatically registered lane L1 and the display indicating the designated lane L2 do not overlap.

[0021] The elevator system 1 may be provided with multiple devices as the projectors 5. For example, the device that projects a display indicating the automatically registered lane L1 may be a device different from the device that projects a display indicating the designated lane L2. A display indicating the automatically registered lane L1 and a display indicating the designated lane L2 may be projected from a single device. In the present elevator system 1, various displays are projected. The elevator system 1 may be provided with a different device as the projectors 5 for each display to be projected. It is arbitrary how many devices the elevator system 1 may include as projectors 5 and which display is projected from which device. In the present embodiment, these devices will be described as projectors 5 without distinguishing between them.

[0022] The functions of the elevator system 1 will be described in detail below with reference to Figures 3 and 4. In the following description, it is assumed that the elevator device 2 is installed in a six-story building. A user U carries a terminal 11 and moves through a passageway 10 to a hallway 8 on the first floor. The user U's room is on the third floor of the building, and the user U has previously registered "the third floor" as his or her destination floor in the location management device 3. That is, the storage unit 30 stores, for the user U, the identification information of the terminal 11 and the destination floor information indicating "the third floor" in association with each other. The storage unit 30 may also store, in association with each other, attribute information of the user U.

[0023] 3 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the location management device 3. The location management device 3 determines whether or not information has been acquired from the terminal 11 (S101). When the user U enters a range in which the receiving device 4 can receive information from the terminal 11, the receiving device 4 wirelessly receives the information transmitted by the terminal 11. The receiving device 4 transmits the information wirelessly received from the terminal 11 to the location management device 3. When the location management device 3 receives the information from the receiving device 4, the result of S101 is Yes.

[0024] The receiving device 4 is preferably installed in the building so that the user U can receive information from the terminal 11 wherever he or she is in the building. The receiving device 4 is installed so that the user U can always receive information from the terminal 11 when he or she is in the hall 8, the aisle 9, or the aisle 10.

[0025] If the determination in S101 is Yes, the position detection unit 31 detects the position of the terminal 11 (S102). The position detection unit 31 performs the process of S102 based on information wirelessly acquired from the terminal 11 via the receiving device 4.

[0026] As an example, the information acquired in S101 includes identification information of the terminal 11 and relative coordinates indicating the relative position of the terminal 11 with respect to the receiving device 4. Absolute coordinates indicating the position where the receiving device 4 is installed are stored in the storage unit 30. The position detection unit 31 may detect the position of the terminal 11 based on the information acquired in S101 and the information stored in the storage unit 30. The position detection unit 31 may also detect the position of the terminal 11 using another method.

[0027] If the determination in S101 is Yes, the first determination unit 32 determines whether the terminal 11 has passed through the automatic registration lane L1 (S103). The first determination unit 32 performs the process of S103 based on the position of the terminal 11 detected by the position detection unit 31 in S102.

[0028] As an example, the range of the passage 10 in which the automatic registration lane L1 is to be set is set in advance. The projection control unit 36 ​​projects a display indicating the automatic registration lane L1 from the projector 5 into the set range. Here, consider an example in which a user U traveling along the passage 10 toward the landing 8 wishes to go to the third floor. In this case, the user U proceeds to the automatic registration lane L1 and passes through the automatic registration lane L1. As a result, the first determination unit 32 determines that the terminal 11 has passed through the automatic registration lane L1. That is, the determination in S103 is Yes. In the following description, the user U proceeding through the automatic registration lane L1 will be denoted by the symbol U1 as shown in FIG. 2.

[0029] If S103 returns Yes, the destination determination unit 34 determines the floor pre-registered for the terminal 11 of this user U1 as the destination floor (S104). As described above, the identification information of the terminal 11 and the destination floor information indicating the "third floor" for user U1 are associated and stored in the storage unit 30. Based on the information acquired in S101 and the information stored in the storage unit 30, the destination determination unit 34 determines the pre-registered third floor as the destination floor for this user U1.

[0030] Once the destination floor is determined in S104, a call registration request is sent from the location management device 3 to the control device 7 (S105). This call registration request includes information indicating the floor where the user U1 is currently located and information indicating the destination floor determined in S104. The call registration request may further include identification information of the terminal 11.

[0031] 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the control device 7. The control device 7 determines whether or not a call registration request has been received from the location management device 3 (S201). When the control device 7 receives the call registration request transmitted from the location management device 3 in S105, the determination in S201 is Yes.

[0032] If the determination in S201 is Yes, the call registration unit 71 registers the call based on the received call registration request (S202). That is, the call registration unit 71 performs the process of S202 based on the destination floor determined by the destination determination unit 34 in S104.

[0033] When the call is registered in S202, the allocation determination unit 72 determines an assigned car that will respond to the call registered by the call registration unit 71 in S202 (S203). The allocation determination unit 72 determines an assigned car from among the cars 6 that can stop at the landing 8 on the floor where user U1 is currently located. In the example shown in Figure 2, the allocation determination unit 72 selects one of car 6A or car 6B that can stop at the landing 8 on the first floor as the assigned car.

[0034] When the assigned car is determined in S203, an assigned car notification is transmitted from the control device 7 to the location management device 3 (S204). This assigned car notification includes information indicating the assigned car determined in S203. The assigned car notification may further include identification information of the terminal 11.

[0035] Furthermore, once the assigned car is determined in S203, the operation control unit 73 causes the assigned car determined in S203 to respond to the call registered in S202 (S205). For example, if the assigned car is car 6B, the operation control unit 73 causes car 6B to stop at the landing 8 on the first floor. Thereafter, the operation control unit 73 opens and closes the door of car 6B, and moves car 6B to the third floor.

[0036] On the other hand, when the location management device 3 transmits a call registration request to the control device 7 in S105, it determines whether or not an assigned car notification has been received from the control device 7 in response (S106). When the location management device 3 receives the assigned car notification transmitted from the control device 7 in S204, it determines Yes in S106.

[0037] If the determination in S106 is Yes, the notification control unit 35 performs notification control to notify the user U1 of the information about the assigned car determined by the allocation determination unit 72 in S203 (S107). As an example, the notification control unit 35 projects the information about the assigned car from the projector 5 onto the floor of the aisle 10. As shown in FIG. 2 as "B←3F," the notification control unit 35 may project the information about the assigned car and the information about the destination floor determined by the destination determination unit 34 in S104 onto the floor of the aisle 10 from the projector 5. It is preferable that the information about the assigned car, etc. be projected closer to the landing 8 than the automatic registration lane L1 so that the user U1 who has passed through the automatic registration lane L1 can know which car 6 to board before arriving at the landing 8. The information about the assigned car, etc. may also be projected onto the ceiling or wall of the aisle 10.

[0038] As another example, the notification control unit 35 may display information about the assigned car on the display of the terminal 11 carried by the user U1.

[0039] Next, consider an example in which a user U moves into the designated lane L2. The user U moving into the designated lane L2 will be described by assigning a symbol U2 as shown in FIG.

[0040] If the determination in S103 is No, the second determination unit 33 determines whether or not the terminal 11 has passed through the designated lane L2 (S108). The second determination unit 33 performs the process of S108 based on the position of the terminal 11 detected by the position detection unit 31 in S102.

[0041] As an example, the range of the passage 10 in which the designated lane L2 is to be set is set in advance. The projection control unit 36 ​​projects a display indicating the designated lane L2 from the projector 5 into the set range. The user U proceeds into the designated lane L2 when he or she wishes to go to a floor other than the third floor. In such a case, the user U2 proceeds into the designated lane L2 and passes through the designated lane L2. As a result, the second determination unit 33 determines that the terminal 11 has passed through the designated lane L2. That is, the determination in S103 is No and the determination in S108 is Yes.

[0042] If the determination in S108 is Yes, the destination determination unit 34 determines the destination floor based on the position of the terminal 11 detected by the position detection unit 31 after the terminal 11 has passed through the designated lane L2 (S109).

[0043] As an example, if the determination in S108 is Yes, the projection control unit 36 ​​projects a display (second display) for identifying the destination floor of user U2 from the projector 5 onto the floor of the passage 10. The projection control unit 36 ​​may project a display for identifying the destination floor of user U2 from the projector 5 even before the determination in S108 is Yes. FIG. 2 shows an example in which, as displays for identifying the destination floor, "2" indicating the second floor, "3" indicating the third floor, "4" indicating the fourth floor, "5" indicating the fifth floor, and "6" indicating the sixth floor are projected onto the floor of the passage 10. The displays for identifying the destination floor are projected on the hall 8 side from the designated lane L2.

[0044] If the determination in S108 is Yes, the destination determination unit 34 determines the destination floor of user U2 based on the position where the display for identifying the destination floor is projected and the position of the terminal 11 detected by the position detection unit 31. For example, when user U2 who has passed through the designated lane L2 passes through the area where the display of "5" indicating the fifth floor is projected, the destination determination unit 34 determines the fifth floor as the destination floor of user U2. The destination determination unit 34 may also determine the fifth floor as the destination floor of user U2 when user U2 remains in the area where the display of "5" indicating the fifth floor is projected for a certain period of time.

[0045] Even when the destination floor is determined in S109, the processes shown in S105 to S107 described above are performed. The control device 7 performs the processes shown in S201 to S205. The call registration request includes information indicating the floor where user U2 is currently located and information indicating the destination floor determined in S109. The call registration request may further include identification information of the terminal 11.

[0046] Furthermore, in the notification control of S107, the notification control unit 35 projects information about the assigned car determined by the allocation determination unit 72 from the projector 5 onto the floor of the aisle 10. For example, the information about the assigned car is projected on the hall 8 side of the display for specifying the destination floor, that is, on the hall 8 side of the display so as to be adjacent to the display of "5" indicating the 5th floor, as shown as "A←" in FIG. 2. The notification control unit 35 may project the information about the assigned car and the information about the destination floor determined by the destination determination unit 34 in S109 from the projector 5 onto the floor of the aisle 10. The information about the assigned car, etc. may also be projected onto the ceiling or wall of the aisle 10.

[0047] In the example shown in this embodiment, when a user carrying terminal 11 passes through automatic registration lane L1, a pre-registered floor is determined as the destination floor. When a user carrying terminal 11 passes through designated lane L2, the destination floor is determined based on the position detected by position detection unit 31 after passing through designated lane L2. In the example shown in this embodiment, the user can easily register a call without having to operate terminal 11.

[0048] The following describes other functions that can be adopted by the elevator system 1. If possible, the elevator system 1 may adopt a combination of the following functions.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 1, the location management device 3 may further include a setting unit 37. The setting unit 37 has a function of setting the automatic registration lane L1. The position of the automatic registration lane L1 does not have to always be the same. The size of the automatic registration lane L1 does not have to always be the same. The setting unit 37 can variably set the position or size of the automatic registration lane L1. The setting unit 37 may change the position of the automatic registration lane L1 depending on the date and time, etc. The setting unit 37 may change both the position and size of the automatic registration lane L1 depending on an input signal from a device operated by a system administrator, etc.

[0050] When the position management device 3 includes the setting unit 37, the projection control unit 36 ​​projects a display indicating the automatic registration lane L1 from the projector 5 in accordance with the setting of the automatic registration lane L1 by the setting unit 37, i.e., the set position and size. The first determination unit 32 determines whether the terminal 11 has passed through the automatic registration lane L1 based on the setting of the automatic registration lane L1 by the setting unit 37 and the position of the terminal 11 detected by the position detection unit 31.

[0051] The setting unit 37 may have a function of setting the designated lane L2. That is, the setting unit 37 may be able to variably set the position or size of the designated lane L2. In such a case, the projection control unit 36 ​​projects a display indicating the designated lane L2 from the projector 5 in accordance with the setting of the designated lane L2 by the setting unit 37, i.e., the set position and size. The second determination unit 33 determines whether the terminal 11 has passed through the designated lane L2, based on the setting of the designated lane L2 by the setting unit 37 and the position of the terminal 11 detected by the position detection unit 31.

[0052] In the present embodiment, a preferred example has been described in which both the automatic registration lane L1 and the designated lane L2 are set in the passage 10, i.e., the area leading to the landing 8. As another example, only one of the automatic registration lane L1 or the designated lane L2 may be set in the area leading to the landing 8.

[0053] As an example, no designated lane L2 is set in the passage 10, and only the automatic registration lane L1 is set. In this example, the automatic registration lane L1 is preferably set to a partial range of the passage 10. When a user carrying the terminal 11 passes through the automatic registration lane L1, the same process as that performed when S103 is determined to be Yes in the above example is performed.

[0054] 2, in the aisle 9, i.e., the area leading to the hall 8, the automatic registration lane L1 is not set, and only the designated lane L2 is set. In this example, the designated lane L2 is preferably set to a partial range of the aisle 9. When a user carrying the terminal 11 passes through the designated lane L2, the same process as that performed when S108 is determined to be Yes in the above example is performed.

[0055] Fig. 5 is a diagram illustrating another example of the processing performed in S109 of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 shows an example that can also be used for a 29-story building. As in the above example, when S108 returns Yes, the projection control unit 36 ​​projects a display (second display) for identifying the destination floor of user U2 from the projector 5 onto the floor of the corridor 9. Fig. 5 shows an example in which, as displays for identifying the destination floor, a display D1 for identifying the tens digit of the destination floor, a display D2 for identifying the range of the ones digit of the destination floor, and a display D3 for identifying the ones digit of the destination floor are projected onto the floor of the corridor 9.

[0056] For example, if user U3 carrying terminal 11 wants to go to the 12th floor, user U3, having passed through designated lane L2, passes through the area where the "1" display is projected on display D1. This identifies that the tens digit of user U3's destination floor is 1. Next, user U3 passes through the area where the "0-4" display is projected on display D2. This identifies that the ones digit of user U3's destination floor is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.

[0057] Furthermore, when user U3 passes through the area where the "0-4" display is projected, the projection control unit 36 ​​projects "0," "1," "2," "3," and "4" from the projector 5 as display D3. Then, when user U3 passes through the area where the "2" display is projected on display D3, the ones digit of the destination floor for user U3 is identified as 2. That is, the destination determination unit 34 determines the 12th floor as the destination floor for user U3. Furthermore, in the notification control of S107, the notification control unit 35 projects the destination floor information and the assigned car information on the hall 8 side of the display for identifying the destination floor, as shown as "12F→A" in FIG. 5.

[0058] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating another example of the processing performed in S109 of FIG. 3. FIG. 6 illustrates a case in which user U3 wishes to travel to the 17th floor in the example illustrated in FIG. 5. In the example illustrated in FIG. 6, as user U3 passes through the area in which the display "5-9" is projected in display D2, the projection control unit 36 ​​projects "5," "6," "7," "8," and "9" from the projector 5 as display D3. Then, as user U3 passes through the area in which the display "7" is projected in display D3, the ones digit of the destination floor for user U3 is identified as 7. That is, the destination determination unit 34 determines the 17th floor as the destination floor for user U3.

[0059] 7 is a diagram showing an example of hardware resources of the location management device 3. The location management device 3 includes, as hardware resources, a processing circuit 40 including a processor 41 and a memory 42. The processing circuit 40 may include multiple processors 41. The processing circuit 40 may include multiple memories 42.

[0060] In this embodiment, the units denoted by the reference numerals 30 to 37 represent functions possessed by the position management device 3. The function of the storage unit 30 is realized by a memory 42. The functions of the units denoted by the reference numerals 31 to 37 can be realized by software written as a program, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. The program is stored in the memory 42. The position management device 3 realizes the functions of the units denoted by the reference numerals 31 to 37 by executing the program stored in the memory 42 by a processor 41 (computer).

[0061] The processor 41 is also called a CPU (Central Processing Unit), etc. The memory 42 may be a semiconductor memory or the like.

[0062] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing another example of hardware resources of the location management device 3. In the example shown in Fig. 8, the location management device 3 includes a processing circuit 40 including a processor 41, a memory 42, and dedicated hardware 43. Fig. 8 shows an example in which some of the functions of the location management device 3 are realized by the dedicated hardware 43. All of the functions of the location management device 3 may also be realized by the dedicated hardware 43.

[0063] The hardware resources of the control device 7 are similar to those shown in FIG. 7 or 8. The control device 7 includes a processing circuit including a processor and a memory as its hardware resources. The processing circuit may include multiple processors.
