Elevator system

Abstract

This elevator system provides assistance for priority boarding for specific users who require more space than general passengers. [Solution] When the elevator system detects a call for priority boarding for a specific user, it performs a space determination process to determine whether a priority boarding space can be secured inside the elevator car when the doors are opened at the specific user's boarding floor. If the space determination process determines that a priority boarding space can be secured, it performs a false intrusion detection process to detect that a general user has entered the priority boarding space. If the false intrusion detection process detects a false intrusion by a general user, it performs a notification process to prompt the falsely intruded general user to disembark.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] Specific users who use a wheelchair or a stroller require a larger boarding space than general users. In the technology of Patent Document 1, the number of available boarding spaces for such specific users is notified at the landing. However, it is conceivable that some general users at the landing may not pay attention to the notification to an unspecified large number of people. Such general users may board the arriving elevator car early, and as a result, there is a possibility that specific users may not be able to board the elevator car preferentially. Thus, the technology of Patent Document 1 is insufficient as a system for assisting the preferential boarding of specific users, and there remains room for further improvement.

[0005] This disclosure was made to solve the aforementioned problems and aims to provide an elevator system that can assist in priority boarding for specific users who require a larger boarding space than general users. [Means for solving the problem]

[0009] The embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, elements common to all parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted.

[0010] Embodiment. 1. Overview of the Elevator System of the Embodiment Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating the outline of an elevator system according to this embodiment. The elevator system 100 of this embodiment is a system that prioritizes boarding specific users who require a larger boarding space than that of general users into the elevator car. Here, "specific users" include, for example, wheelchair users, stroller users, trolley users, etc.

[0011] The elevator system 100 of this embodiment includes an elevator 2 and an elevator control device 10.

[0012] The elevator 2 is installed in a building such as a building having a plurality of floors. In the building, a hoistway for the elevator 2 is provided. The hoistway is a vertically long space extending over a plurality of floors. On each floor, a landing adjacent to the hoistway is provided. On the wall surface of each landing, a landing button 4 for making a landing call for the elevator 2 is provided. The landing button 4 includes a button for general users to make a landing call and a button for specific users to make a landing call. When the button for general users is pressed at the landing, a call signal for the landing call of general users is sent to the elevator control device 10. Also, when the button for specific users is pressed at the landing, a call signal for the landing call of specific users is sent to the elevator control device 10.

[0013] As a main configuration not shown in the figure, the elevator 2 includes a hoisting machine, a main rope, a car, and a counterweight. The main rope is wound around the sheave of the hoisting machine. The main rope supports the load of the car on one side of the sheave of the hoisting machine. The main rope supports the load of the counterweight on the other side of the sheave of the hoisting machine. The car is a device that transports users of the elevator 2 between a plurality of floors by traveling up and down in the hoistway. The car travels up and down in the hoistway in conjunction with the movement of the main rope due to the rotation of the sheave of the hoisting machine.

[0014] In the car of the elevator 2, a camera 6 and a notification device 8 are provided. The camera 6 is installed at a position including the inside of the car of the elevator 2 in the imaging range. Typically, the camera 6 is installed on the ceiling inside the car of the elevator 2. The image data captured by the camera 6 is sent to the elevator control device 10. The notification device 8 is a device for notifying passengers inside the car. For example, the notification device 8 is a speaker for voice notification. The notification device 8 outputs a voice notification message according to a notification instruction described later transmitted from the elevator control device 10.

[0015] The elevator control device 10 is a device that performs various controls related to the priority boarding of specific users. The elevator control device 10 communicates with the elevator 2 via a communication network such as a LAN or the Internet.

[0016] The elevator control device 10 is a microcomputer including at least one processor 20 and at least one memory 30. The elevator control device 10 is also called an information processing device.

[0017] The memory 30 stores a program 32 and various data 34 for operating the program 32. The processor 20 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). By the processor 20 reading out and executing the program 32, various functions of the elevator control device 10 are realized. Details of the realized various functions will be described later. Note that the program 32 may be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium or stored in a server communicable with the elevator control device 10 such as a cloud server.

[0018] Consider a case where a specific user using a wheelchair makes a landing call at the landing on the Xth floor in the elevator 2 to which such an elevator system 100 is applied. When the specific user call button is pressed by the specific user, the elevator control device 10 detects a call signal for the landing call of the specific user. This process is hereinafter referred to as "call detection process". The elevator control device 10 moves the car to the Xth floor based on the call signal detected in the call detection process. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the situation when the arrived car doors are opened at the landing on the Xth floor. In the example shown in this figure, three passengers P1, P2, and P3 are riding in the opened car, and the situation where the specific user U1 and the general user U2 are waiting at the landing is illustrated.

[0019] Figure 3 shows the situation when passengers disembark from an arriving elevator car at the landing on the Xth floor. In this example, the situation is illustrated when two passengers, P2 and P3, disembark from the elevator car at the landing on the Xth floor. The elevator control device 10 determines whether all passengers who wish to disembark have completed their disembarkation. This process is hereafter referred to as the "disembarkation determination process".

[0020] If the disembarkation determination process determines that passengers have finished disembarking, the elevator control device 10 determines whether it is possible to secure a priority boarding space for a specific user inside the elevator car. This process is hereinafter referred to as the "space determination process." The priority boarding space is a space of a predetermined size that is necessary for a specific user to board the elevator.

[0021] Figure 4 shows the situation when a regular user boards the elevator car at the landing on the Xth floor. In the example shown in this figure, a regular user U2, who was waiting at landing X, boards the elevator car before a specific user U1. When the space determination process determines that a priority boarding space can be secured, the elevator control device 10 determines whether a regular user has mistakenly entered the priority boarding space. This process is hereinafter referred to as the "mistaken entry determination process".

[0022] Figure 5 shows the situation when a regular user mistakenly enters the priority boarding area at the X-floor landing. If the mis-entry detection process determines that a regular user has mistakenly entered the priority boarding area, the elevator control device 10 outputs a notification message from the notification device 8 to the regular user U2 who has mistakenly entered the priority boarding area, prompting them to disembark. This process is hereinafter referred to as the "notification process." The notification message may be an audio message such as, "A specific user will board first, so please disembark now." In the example shown in Figure 5, the regular user U2 who mistakenly entered the priority boarding area hears the notification message and disembarks. Figure 6 shows the situation when a specific user boards the elevator car at the X-floor landing. Once the regular user U2 who mistakenly entered the priority boarding area disembarks, the priority boarding area is reserved inside the elevator car. In the example shown in Figure 6, the specific user boards the reserved priority boarding area.

[0023] According to the series of processes of the elevator system 100 described above, if a regular passenger mistakenly enters the priority boarding space reserved inside the elevator car, an audio message urging the mistaken passenger to disembark is broadcast to the passenger. As a result, the priority boarding space is reserved inside the elevator car, increasing the likelihood that specific passengers will be able to board preferentially.

[0024] 2. Functional configuration of the elevator control device in the embodiment Next, the functional configuration of the elevator control device 10 provided in the elevator system 100 will be described in more detail. Figure 7 is a block diagram showing the functions of the elevator control device according to the embodiment. The elevator control device 10 includes a call detection unit 102, a disembarkation determination unit 104, a space determination unit 106, a false intrusion detection unit 108, and a notification unit 110, as functions realized by the processor 20 reading and executing the program 32.

[0025] The call detection unit 102 is a functional block for executing call detection processing. The detection result in the call detection processing is sent to the passenger disembarkation determination unit 104.

[0026] The disembarkation determination unit 104 is a functional block for executing disembarkation determination processing. Upon receiving the detection result of the call detection processing, the disembarkation determination unit 104 executes disembarkation determination processing inside the elevator car when it arrives at the boarding floor of a specific user. In the disembarkation determination processing, the disembarkation determination unit 104 determines whether the passengers inside the elevator car have completed disembarking based on the camera image inside the elevator car captured by the camera 6. Alternatively, in the disembarkation determination processing, the disembarkation determination unit 104 may determine that the passengers inside the elevator car have completed disembarking when the elapsed time since the elevator car door opened exceeds a predetermined determination time. The determination result of the disembarkation determination processing is sent to the space determination unit 106.

[0027] The space determination unit 106 is a functional block for executing space determination processing. The space determination unit 106 executes space determination processing upon receiving the determination result of completion of disembarking in the disembarking determination processing. In space determination processing, the space determination unit 106 determines whether a priority boarding space is secured inside the car based on the camera image inside the car captured by the camera 6. The determination result of the space determination processing is sent to the false intrusion detection unit 108.

[0028] The intrusion detection unit 108 is a functional block for executing intrusion detection processing. The intrusion detection unit 108 executes intrusion detection processing upon receiving a determination result indicating that the priority boarding space is reserved. In the intrusion detection processing, the intrusion detection unit 108 detects that a general user has intruded into the priority boarding space inside the car based on the camera image inside the car captured by the camera 6. The detection result of the intrusion detection processing is sent to the notification unit 110.

[0029] The notification unit 110 is a functional block for executing notification processing. The notification unit 110 executes notification processing upon receiving a detection result indicating that a false intrusion has been detected. In the notification processing, the notification unit 110 sends a notification instruction to the notification device 8 to output a predetermined voice message. As a result, the notification device 8 outputs the voice message.

[0030] 3. Specific processes executed by the elevator control device according to the embodiment The specific processes performed in the elevator control device 10 will be described below with reference to the flowchart. Figure 8 is a flowchart of the processes performed in the elevator control device according to the embodiment. The routine shown in Figure 8 is executed when the processor 20 of the elevator control device 10 executes the program 32 stored in the memory 30.

[0031] In step S100 of the routine shown in Figure 8, the call detection unit 102 performs a call detection process to determine whether a landing call from a specific user has been detected. If the determination is successful, the process proceeds to step S102; otherwise, the process of this routine is terminated.

[0032] In step S102, the disembarkation determination unit 104 executes a disembarkation determination process to determine whether the passengers in the elevator car have disembarked at the boarding floor of the specific user. If the determination is not found to be successful, the process in this step is executed again. If the determination is found to be successful, the process proceeds to step S104.

[0033] In step S104, the space determination unit 106 performs a space determination process to determine whether a priority boarding space is secured within the car. If the determination is successful, the process proceeds to step S106; otherwise, the process of this routine is terminated.

[0034] In step S106, the intrusion detection unit 108 performs an intrusion detection process to determine whether an intrusion into the priority boarding space by a general user has been detected. If the determination is successful, the process proceeds to step S108; otherwise, the processing of this routine is terminated.

[0035] In step S108, the notification unit 110 outputs an audio message from the notification device 8 by executing notification processing. Once the processing in step S108 is completed, the processing of this routine is terminated.

[0036] According to the elevator system 100 of the embodiment described above, if a general user mistakenly enters the priority boarding space inside the elevator car, an audio message prompting the general user to disembark is broadcast. This ensures that the priority boarding space inside the elevator car is secured, thereby increasing the likelihood of priority boarding for specific users.

[0037] 4. Variations The elevator system 100 of this embodiment may employ the following modified forms. These modifications can also be applied to other elevator systems of other embodiments described later.

[0038] 4-1. Hardware resources of the elevator control device 10

[0039] Figure 9 shows a modified example of the hardware resources of an elevator control device. In the example shown in Figure 9, the elevator control device 10 includes, for example, a processor 20, memory 30, and a processing circuit 42 including dedicated hardware 40. Figure 9 shows an example in which some of the functions of the elevator control device 10 are realized by the dedicated hardware 40. All of the functions of the elevator control device 10 may also be realized by the dedicated hardware 40. As the dedicated hardware 40, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof can be used.

[0040] The memory 30 may be operated independently of the elevator control device 10, with the cloud or other system taking on that role.

[0041] Furthermore, the elevator system 100 may have all or part of the functions of the elevator control device 10 installed on the elevator 2 or a remote server.

[0042] 4-2. Notification device 8 The notification device 8 may be configured as a device that outputs notification messages in the form of images. Figure 10 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the notification device. In this diagram, the notification device 8 is configured as a projection device 82 that projects images onto the wall inside the elevator car. In the notification process, the notification unit 110 outputs a notification instruction to the projection device 82. The projection device 82 projects and displays a predetermined notification message onto the wall, for example, "A specific passenger will board first, so passengers who have already boarded should disembark." Note that the output form of the notification message in the form of images is not limited to projection onto the wall, but may also be in the form of display on a monitor installed inside the elevator car.

[0043] Furthermore, the notification device 8 may be configured as a device that turns on the lights inside the car to encourage passengers to disembark. Figure 11 is a diagram illustrating another modification of the notification device. In this diagram, the notification device 8 is configured as a lighting device 84 installed inside the car. The lighting device 84 is not limited in its arrangement, light color, or light pattern, as long as it can encourage passengers inside the car to disembark. In the example shown in Figure 11, the lighting device 84 is configured as a red light installed on the ceiling inside the car. In the notification process, the notification unit 110 outputs a notification instruction to the lighting device 84. The lighting device 84 flashes the red light, causing the entire inside of the car to flash red.

[0044] In addition, during the notification process, the notification unit 110 may combine the above-mentioned voice notification message, image notification message, and lighting up of the lights.

[0045] 4-3. Space detection process In the space determination process, the space determination unit 106 may determine whether a priority boarding space is secured inside the elevator car based on the detected value detected by the elevator car's weighing device. Figure 12 is a diagram illustrating a modified example of the space determination process. State A in the figure shows three passengers P1, P2, and P3 inside the elevator car with the doors open at the landing on the Xth floor. State B in the figure shows two passengers, P2 and P3, disembarking from State A. When the state changes from State A to State B, the detected value of the weighing device decreases by the weight of the two disembarking passengers. Therefore, the space determination unit 106 determines that a priority boarding space is secured inside the elevator car when the detected value of the weighing device decreases by the weight of the number of passengers inside the priority boarding space. For example, if the boarding space for two passengers corresponds to the size of the priority boarding space, the detected value of the weighing device decreases by more than the weight of two passengers. With this configuration, it is possible to perform the space determination process without performing computationally intensive image analysis of camera images.

[0046] In the space determination process, the space determination unit 106 may determine whether a priority boarding space can be secured based on the area where the light irradiated from the ceiling of the elevator car reaches the floor surface of the priority boarding space. For example, the elevator car floor has a discrimination function that distinguishes between light-irradiated areas and non-irradiated areas. Fluorescent lamps are installed on the ceiling of the elevator car as lighting devices inside the car. In the space determination process, the space determination unit 106 uses its discrimination function to distinguish between light-irradiated areas and non-irradiated areas of light emitted from the fluorescent lamps, and determines that a priority boarding space can be secured if there is a light-irradiated area corresponding to a priority boarding space.

[0047] 4-4. Call detection process In the call detection process, the system may be configured to cancel a landing call by a specific user at a landing where the specific user is not waiting. Figure 13 is a diagram illustrating a modified version of the call detection process. As shown in this figure, the elevator 2 is equipped with one or more surveillance cameras 12 at the landing. The one or more surveillance cameras 12 are mounted in a position that allows them to capture images of the landing, including users waiting to board. In the call detection process, when the call detection unit 102 detects a call signal indicating that the specific user call button on the landing button 4 has been pressed, it determines how to handle the detected call signal based on whether the specific user is included in the landing image captured by the surveillance camera 12 at that landing. Specifically, in the call detection process, the call detection unit 102 detects the call signal as a correct landing call if the specific user is included in the landing image, and cancels the call signal as an incorrect landing call if the specific user is not included in the landing image. With this configuration, it is possible to prevent control for priority boarding for a specific user from being performed when the specific user call button is mistakenly pressed by a general user.

[0048] 4-5. False Intrusion Detection Process In the intrusion detection process, the intrusion detection unit 108 may determine whether or not a general user has intruded based on the degree of increase in the unilluminated area on the floor surface of the priority boarding space where the light irradiated from the ceiling side of the train car is blocked. For example, the floor of the train car has a discrimination function that distinguishes between illuminated and unilluminated areas. Fluorescent lamps are installed on the ceiling of the train car as lighting devices inside the train car. In the intrusion detection process, the intrusion detection unit 108 uses its discrimination function to distinguish between illuminated and unilluminated areas of the light irradiated from the fluorescent lamps onto the floor surface of the priority boarding space, and determines that the priority boarding space can be secured when the proportion of the unilluminated area in the priority boarding space increases within a predetermined determination range. The determination range here is set to a narrower range than the assumed range where the light irradiated is blocked by a specific user, as this is the assumed range where the light irradiated is blocked by a general user.

[0049] 5. Others Although preferred embodiments have been described in detail above, this disclosure is not limited to the embodiments described above, and various modifications and substitutions can be made to the embodiments described above without departing from the scope of the claims.
