[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2017-52635 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Like the elevator system described in Patent Document 1, conventional technologies are based on the assumption that when an existing hall operating panel breaks down, an elevator maintenance person will carry out the recovery work. Therefore, from the time when the existing hall operating panel breaks down until the elevator maintenance person recovers the hall operating panel, it is not possible to register elevator calls from the broken hall operating panel.

[Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The elevator call registration device according to the present disclosure comprises a hall operating panel that is installed at a landing of each elevator floor for calling an elevator car at each floor, a mobile terminal detection unit that is installed corresponding to each hall operating panel and detects whether a mobile terminal is connected or not, and a communication unit that, when a first hall operating panel installed at a landing of a first elevator floor among the hall operating panels fails and a first mobile terminal detection unit installed corresponding to the first hall operating panel among the mobile terminal detection units detects connection of a mobile terminal, initiates communication with the mobile terminal and transmits setting information of the first hall operating panel obtained from the first hall operating panel to the mobile terminal. Effect of the Invention

[0008] According to the elevator call registration device of the present disclosure, when an existing hall operating panel breaks down, for example, an elevator manager can install a replacement for the existing hall operating panel, and even during the period when the existing hall operating panel breaks down and until the hall operating panel is restored by an elevator maintenance worker, elevator calls can be registered using the replacement for the broken existing hall operating panel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0010] Embodiment 1 The first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a configuration diagram showing a configuration example of an elevator system 100 according to the first embodiment. In Fig. 1, the elevator system 100 is the area enclosed by a dashed line.

[0011] For example, elevator system 100 is installed in a building (not shown). The building has landing 1 on each floor. As shown in FIG. 1, for example, the first floor is floor N, and the second floor is floor N-1, and landing 1 is provided on each floor. As shown in FIG. 1, landing 1 provided on floor N, which is the first floor, is landing 1a, and landing 1 provided on floor N+1, which is the second floor, is landing 1b. Note that the first floor may be floor N-1, and the second floor may be floor N.

[0012] The elevator system 100 includes a car 2 , a hall operating panel 3 , a mobile terminal detection unit 4 , and a control device 5 .

[0013] The car 2 is provided inside a hoistway (not shown) that is provided to pass through each floor of a building. The car 2 is provided so that it can rise and fall inside the hoistway by the power of a hoist (not shown), for example. As shown in Fig. 1, three cars 2 may be provided, and the number of cars 2 is set to a value that can be controlled by a control device 5 (described later).

[0014] The hall operating panel 3 is provided at a hall operating panel installation location 11 in the hall 1 of each floor. M hall operating panel installation locations 11 are provided at each hall 1 of each floor. M is a positive number that is 1 or more and is equal to or less than the maximum number of cars 2 that can be controlled by the control device 5 described later. As shown in FIG. 1, two hall operating panel installation locations 11 may be provided at each of the halls 1a and 1b of each floor. In the following description, a case in which two hall operating panel installation locations 11 are provided at each of the halls 1 of each floor will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, one hall operating panel installation location 11 provided at the hall 1a of the Nth floor, which is the first floor, is referred to as a first hall operating panel installation location 111a, and the other hall operating panel installation location 11 is referred to as a second hall operating panel installation location 111b. 1, one of the platform operating panel installation locations 11 installed at the platform 1b on the N-1 floor, which is the second floor, is the third platform operating panel installation location 112a, and the other platform operating panel installation location 11 is the fourth platform operating panel installation location 112b. Also, as shown in FIG. 1, the platform operating panel 3 installed at the first platform operating panel installation location 111a is the first platform operating panel 31a, the platform operating panel 3 installed at the second platform operating panel installation location 111b is the second platform operating panel 31b, the platform operating panel 3 installed at the third platform operating panel installation location 112a is the third platform operating panel 32a, and the platform operating panel 3 installed at the fourth platform operating panel installation location 112b is the fourth platform operating panel 32b.

[0015] The mobile device detection unit 4 is installed corresponding to each of the hall operating panels 3 installed on each floor. The mobile device detection unit 4 may be installed at a hall operating panel installation location 11 of the hall 1, as shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 1, the mobile device detection unit 4 installed at the first hall operating panel installation location 111a is the first mobile device detection unit 41a, the mobile device detection unit 4 installed at the second hall operating panel installation location 111b is the second mobile device detection unit 41b, the mobile device detection unit 4 installed at the third hall operating panel installation location 112a is the third mobile device detection unit 42a, and the mobile device detection unit 4 installed at the fourth hall operating panel installation location 112b is the fourth mobile device detection unit 42b.

[0016] The control device 5 is provided to control the car 2. In detail, when an elevator user registers an elevator call by operating the hall operating panel 3 installed at the hall 1 of each floor, the control device 5 raises and lowers the car 2 based on the registered elevator call registration information. Note that, as shown in FIG. 1, when a plurality of cars 2 are provided, the control device 5 may have an elevator group management function for managing elevator groups, and the control device 5 may determine a car 2 to be assigned to an elevator call and raise and lower the determined car 2. The control device 5 is, for example, an elevator control panel provided in a machine room (not shown) installed at the top of the elevator shaft.

[0017] In the elevator system 100, the control device 5 is connected to an elevator control center 6. The elevator control center 6 dispatches elevator maintenance personnel to the site upon notification from an elevator management unit 51 (to be described later) or a mobile terminal 7 (to be described later). Details will be described later.

[0018] Next, a configuration example of the hall operating panel installation location 11 will be described with reference to Figs. 2 and 3. Figs. 2 and 3 are enlarged views of a first hall operating panel installation location 111a provided at the hall 1a. In the following description, the first hall operating panel installation location 111a provided at the hall 1a will be described, but the other hall operating panel installation locations 111b, 112a, and 112b have the same configuration. Figs. 2 and 3 show a state in which a mobile terminal 7 is connected to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a. Details of the mobile terminal 7 will be described later.

[0019] The first hall operating panel 31a may be configured with, for example, a mechanical button 311a, as shown in Fig. 2. Also, as shown in Fig. 3, it may be configured with both a liquid crystal display 312a and a mechanical button 311a. Note that the mechanical button 311a may be an up / down button configured with "up" and "down" arrows as shown in Fig. 2, or may be a number button configured with numbers from "0" to "9" as shown in Fig. 3. Also, the first hall operating panel 31a may be configured with a mobile terminal such as a tablet terminal, and may display, for example, a virtual button on the screen of the mobile terminal.

[0020] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a may be wired to the mobile terminal 7 with a cable 8, and may be implemented in the form of a USB port or a LAN port at the first hall operating panel installation location 111a. The first mobile terminal detection unit 41a and the mobile terminal 7 may be wired to each other with a communication cable 8, and a communication unit 52 described later may perform wired communication with the mobile terminal 7 via the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a. The mobile terminal detection unit 41a and the mobile terminal 7 may be wirelessly connected, and the communication unit 52 described later may perform wireless communication with the mobile terminal 7. In that case, the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a may not be provided at the first hall operating panel installation location 111a, and for example, the communication unit 52 described later may have the function of the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a.

[0021] In addition, the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a and the mobile terminal 7 may be wired connected by a charging cable 8, and when the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a detects the connection of the mobile terminal 7, it may function as a charging unit that charges the mobile terminal 7.

[0022] Furthermore, when the mobile terminal detection unit 4 is implemented in the form of a USB port or a LAN port, for example, a cap may be attached to cover the mobile terminal detection unit 4 when the mobile terminal 7 is not connected. This can prevent water or dust from entering the mobile terminal detection unit 4.

[0023] Next, the elevator call registration device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 4. Fig. 4 is a configuration diagram showing an example of the configuration of the elevator system 100 and the elevator call registration device 10 according to the first embodiment. In Fig. 4, the elevator call registration device 10 applied to the hall 1a provided on the Nth floor shown in Fig. 1 will be described, but it is assumed that the same elevator call registration device 10 is also applied to the hall 1b provided on the N+1th floor shown in Fig. 1. In Fig. 4, the elevator system 100 is the area within the dashed line, and the elevator call registration device 10 is the area within the dashed line. In Fig. 4, a state in which the first hall operating panel 31a has failed is also shown. In addition, in FIG. 4, the first platform operating panel installation location 111a is shown as platform operating panel installation location M, the second platform operating panel installation location 111b is shown as platform operating panel installation location M-1, the first platform operating panel 31a is shown as the existing platform operating panel N, the second platform operating panel 31b is shown as the existing platform operating panel N-1, the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a is shown as the mobile terminal detection unit corresponding to the existing platform operating panel N, and the second mobile terminal detection unit 41b is shown as the mobile terminal detection unit corresponding to the existing platform operating panel N-1.

[0024] The elevator call registration device 10 includes a hall operating panel 3, a mobile terminal detection unit 4, and a communication unit 52.

[0025] The control device 5 shown in Fig. 1 is composed of an elevator management unit 51, a communication unit 52, and a storage unit 53, as shown in Fig. 4, for example. The control device 5 is an elevator control panel, and the communication unit 52 and the storage unit 53 can be implemented in a board to which the elevator control panel, the hall operating panel 3, and the mobile terminal detection unit 4 are connected, or in the elevator control panel. Also, the elevator management unit 51 can be implemented in the elevator control panel.

[0026] An example of a hardware configuration of each component of the control device 5 will be described with reference to Fig. 5. Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration of each component of the control device 5. Each component of the control device 5 may be a processing circuit 101 which is dedicated hardware as shown in Fig. 5(a), or a processor 102 which executes a program stored in a memory 103 as shown in Fig. 5(b). In detail, the elevator management unit 51 and the communication unit 52 may be the processor 102 which executes a program stored in the storage unit 53 which is the memory 103.

[0027] 5(a), when each component of the control device 5 is a dedicated hardware, the processing circuit 101 corresponds to, for example, a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit), an FPGA (Field-programmable Gate Array), or a combination of these. Each function of the components of the control device 5 may be realized by the processing circuit 101, or the functions of each part may be realized by a single processing circuit 101.

[0028] As shown in FIG. 5(b), when each component of the control device 5 is a processor 102, the function of each component is realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. The software or firmware is written as a program and stored in the memory 103. The processor 102 realizes each function of each component of the control device 5 by reading and executing the program stored in the memory 103. That is, each component of the control device 5 includes the memory 103 for storing a program that, when executed by the processor 102, results in the execution of each step shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. 10 described below. It can also be said that these programs cause a computer to execute the steps or methods of each component of the control device 5.

[0029] Here, the processor 102 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU), a processing device, an arithmetic device, a processor, a microprocessor, a microcomputer, or a digital signal processor (DSP), etc. The memory 103 may be, for example, a non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), a flash memory, an erasable programmable ROM (EPROM), or an electrically EPROM (EEPROM), or may be a magnetic disk such as a hard disk or a flexible disk, or may be an optical disk such as a mini disk, a compact disc (CD), or a digital versatile disc (DVD).

[0030] Note that the functions of each component of the control device 5 may be partially realized by dedicated hardware and partially realized by software or firmware. In this way, the processing circuit 101 can realize each of the above-mentioned functions by hardware, software, firmware, or a combination of these.

[0031] The elevator management unit 51 is a part that performs the elevator operation control described above in the description of the control device 5. The elevator management unit 51 may have a reporting means (not shown) that reports to the management center 6 when it is notified by, for example, the communication unit 52 that the hall operating panel 3 has a malfunction.

[0032] The communication unit 52 communicates with each of the hall operating panels 3 on each floor and the elevator management unit 51. When the hall operating panel 3 breaks down and the mobile terminal detection unit 4 installed corresponding to the broken hall operating panel 3 detects the connection of the mobile terminal 7, the communication unit 52 starts communication with the mobile terminal 7 and transmits the setting information of the broken hall operating panel 3 to the mobile terminal 7. The setting information of the hall operating panel 3 is unique information of each hall operating panel 3 installed on each floor and is information necessary for elevator call registration. The setting information of the hall operating panel 3 is, for example, floor information of the floor on which the hall operating panel 3 is installed. In addition, as shown in FIG. 3, when the hall operating panel 3 is configured as a liquid crystal integrated type, the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 may include display layout information of the hall operating panel 3. In addition, for example, the communication unit 52 may be configured to determine that the hall operating panel 3 has failed when communication with the hall operating panel 3 becomes impossible, and the communication unit 52 may be configured to determine that the hall operating panel 3 has failed when it determines that the mobile terminal 7 has been connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4.

[0033] In addition, the communication unit 52 may acquire setting information from each of the hall operating panels 3 of each floor in advance before the hall operating panel 3 breaks down, and store the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 in the storage unit 53 described later. In addition, when the hall operating panel 3 breaks down and the mobile terminal detection unit 4 installed corresponding to the broken hall operating panel 3 detects the connection of the mobile terminal 7, the communication unit 52 may start communication with the mobile terminal 7, extract the setting information of the broken hall operating panel 3 from the setting information of each hall operating panel 3 stored in the storage unit 53 described later, and transmit the setting information of the broken hall operating panel 3 to the mobile terminal 7. In addition, the communication unit 52 may include a communication control unit that controls communication, and the communication control unit may control the communication unit 52 to realize each function of the communication unit 52. In addition, the communication control unit may be provided as built into the communication unit 52, or may be provided independently of the communication unit 52.

[0034] In addition, as shown in Fig. 4, a storage unit 53 may be provided. The storage unit 53 stores, for example, the above-mentioned programs, setting information of each hall operating panel 3 on each floor, etc. As shown in Fig. 4, the storage unit 53 may be provided independently of the communication unit 52, or may be provided as a built-in part of the communication unit 52.

[0035] Next, the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4 of the elevator call registration device 10 will be described with reference to Figs. 6 and 7. Fig. 6 is a configuration diagram showing an example of the configuration of the mobile terminal 7. Fig. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a screen display of the mobile terminal 7. As shown in Fig. 6, the mobile terminal 7 includes, for example, a mobile terminal communication unit 71, a mobile terminal control unit 72, an output unit 73, an input unit 74, and a mobile terminal storage unit 75.

[0036] The mobile terminal 7 may be, for example, a tablet terminal carried by an elevator manager. The mobile terminal communication unit 71 communicates with the communication unit 52 of the control device 5 and receives setting information of the broken hall operating panel 3. The mobile terminal communication unit 71 also transmits elevator call registration information input from the input unit 74 to the communication unit 52. The mobile terminal control unit 72 is, for example, a processor such as a CPU that executes a program stored in the mobile terminal storage unit 75 and controls and calculates the mobile terminal 7. The output unit 73 outputs elevator call registration means to an elevator user. The output unit 73 is, for example, a display device such as a liquid crystal display, a voice output device such as a speaker, etc. The input unit 74 accepts input of elevator call registration information and the like from an elevator user. The input unit 74 is, for example, an input device such as a touch panel device, a voice input device such as a microphone, etc. The mobile terminal control unit 72 causes the output unit 73 to output the elevator call registration means based on the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 received by the mobile terminal communication unit 71, and transmits the elevator call registration information input from the input unit 74 based on the elevator call registration means to the communication unit 52 via the mobile terminal communication unit 71. The mobile terminal storage unit 75 stores, for example, the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 received by the mobile terminal communication unit 71, a program for controlling and calculating the mobile terminal 7 executed by the mobile terminal control unit 72, and the like. For example, by storing the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a by the mobile terminal storage unit 75, when the first hall operating panel 31a breaks down again, it becomes unnecessary to receive the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a again from the communication unit 52. In other words, the mobile terminal control unit 72 can cause the output unit 73 to output the elevator call registration means based on the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a stored in the mobile terminal storage unit 75.

[0037] As described above, the mobile terminal 7 has an elevator call registration means for receiving setting information of the failed hall operating panel 3 from the communication unit 52 and performing elevator call registration based on the setting information. For example, as shown in Fig. 7, the mobile terminal 7 is a tablet terminal, and the mobile terminal control unit 72 may launch a web browser or application on the liquid crystal display serving as the output unit 73, display virtual buttons serving as the input unit 74, and allow an elevator user to operate the virtual buttons and input elevator call registration information to perform elevator call registration.

[0038] Next, an example of a process flow of the elevator call registration device 10 according to the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 8. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of a process flow of the elevator call registration device according to the first embodiment. In the following description, as shown in FIG. 4, an example of a process flow of the elevator call registration device 10 in the case where the first hall operating panel 31a installed at the first hall operating panel installation location 111a provided at the hall 1a breaks down will be described. However, the same process flow will be performed in the case where the hall operating panels 31b, 32a, and 32b installed at the other hall operating panel installation locations 111b, 112a, and 112b break down. In the following description, an example of a process flow of the elevator call registration device 10 in the case where the breakdown of the first hall operating panel 31a is a communication failure with the communication unit 52 will be described.

[0039] It is assumed that the control device 5, hall operating panel 3, and mobile terminal detection unit 4 have been activated. If the control device 5, hall operating panel 3, and mobile terminal detection unit 4 are not activated, the activation status of the three may be periodically checked by some method. If the control device 5, hall operating panel 3, and mobile terminal detection unit 4 have been activated, proceed to step S101.

[0040] In step S101, the communication unit 52 of the control device 5 acquires in advance setting information of the hall operating panel 3 from the hall operating panel 3 of each floor, and transmits the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 to the memory unit 53. The memory unit 53 stores the transmitted setting information of the hall operating panel 3.

[0041] Next, in step S102, the communication unit 52 judges whether or not the mobile terminal 7 is connected to each of the mobile terminal detection units 4 installed corresponding to each of the hall operating panels 3. In detail, when the first hall operating panel 31a installed at the first hall operating panel installation location 111a on the first floor, which is the Nth floor, breaks down and the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a installed corresponding to the broken down first hall operating panel 31a detects the connection of the mobile terminal 7, the communication unit 52 judges that the mobile terminal 7 is connected to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a, and proceeds to step S103.

[0042] In step S103, the communication unit 52 starts communication with the mobile terminal 7 connected to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a corresponding to the failed first hall operating panel 31a. At this time, the trigger for the communication unit 52 to start communication with the mobile terminal 7 may be, for example, when the communication unit 52 receives a signal from the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a detecting a connection with the mobile terminal 7, when the communication unit 52 receives a signal permitting communication from the mobile terminal 7 to the communication unit 52 via the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a, or when the communication unit 52 transmits a signal permitting communication to the mobile terminal 7 via the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a.

[0043] Next, in step S104, the communication unit 52 extracts the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a corresponding to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a that detected the connection with the mobile terminal 7 from the setting information of each hall operating panel 3 stored in the memory unit 53 in step S101, and transmits the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a to the mobile terminal 7.

[0044] Next, in step S105, the mobile terminal 7 is provided with an elevator call registration means based on the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a. By doing so, elevator call registration can be performed from the mobile terminal 7 instead of the first hall operating panel 31a. For example, the communication unit 52 may transmit to the mobile terminal 7 a control signal for outputting the elevator call registration means based on the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a to the output unit 73 of the mobile terminal 7, and as described above, the mobile terminal control unit 72 may cause the output unit 73 of the mobile terminal 7 to output the elevator call registration means based on the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a transmitted from the communication unit 52.

[0045] By proceeding to the above step S105, an elevator user can register elevator call registration information from the input unit 74 based on the elevator call registration information output to the output unit 73 of the mobile terminal 7. That is, an elevator user can register an elevator call from the mobile terminal 7 instead of the broken down first hall operating panel 31a.

[0046] After the elevator call is registered in the mobile terminal 7, the mobile terminal control unit 72 transmits the elevator call registration information inputted by the input unit 74 to the communication unit 52 via the mobile terminal communication unit 71. Then, the communication unit 52 transmits the elevator call registration information to the elevator management unit 51. Based on the elevator call registration information transmitted from the communication unit 52, the elevator management unit 51 dispatches the elevator car 2 to the first floor, which is the Nth floor where the broken-down first hall operating panel 31a is located.

[0047] As described above, the elevator call registration device 10 in this embodiment includes the hall operating panel 3 installed at the hall 1 of each floor of the elevator to call the elevator car 2 at each floor, the mobile terminal detection unit 4 installed corresponding to each hall operating panel 3 to detect whether the mobile terminal 7 is connected, and the communication unit 52 that starts communication with the mobile terminal 7 and transmits the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a acquired from the first hall operating panel 31a to the mobile terminal 7 when the first hall operating panel 31a installed at the hall 1a of the first floor of the elevator breaks down and the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a installed corresponding to the first hall operating panel 31a detects the connection of the mobile terminal 7. With the above configuration, even if the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down and it becomes impossible to register an elevator call from the existing hall operating panel 3, it is possible to register an elevator call from the mobile terminal 7. With the above configuration, when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down and elevator call registration from the mobile terminal 7 becomes possible, the minimum work required is only the work of connecting the mobile terminal 7 to the mobile terminal detection unit 4, and the above work can be performed by anyone, not just elevator maintenance personnel. Therefore, with the above configuration, when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down, for example, an elevator manager can install the mobile terminal 7 as a replacement for the existing hall operating panel 3, and elevator users can register elevator calls from the mobile terminal 7 as a replacement for the broken existing hall operating panel 3, even during the period when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down and until the hall operating panel 3 is restored by the elevator maintenance personnel.

[0048] In addition, in the past, when only one hall operating panel 3 is provided at the hall 1 of each floor, if the hall operating panel 3 breaks down, it is not possible to register an elevator call from the hall 1 of the floor where the broken hall operating panel 3 is installed. In other words, in order to register an elevator call, it was necessary to move to another floor to register the elevator call. According to the elevator call registration device 10 of the present embodiment, as described above, when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down, for example, the elevator manager can install the mobile terminal 7 that is a substitute for the existing hall operating panel 3, and elevator users can register elevator calls from the mobile terminal 7 that is a substitute for the broken existing hall operating panel 3 even during the period when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down and until the hall operating panel 3 is restored by the elevator maintenance staff. Therefore, even if only one hall operating panel 3 is installed at the landing 1 of each floor and that hall operating panel 3 breaks down, an elevator call can be registered from the landing 1 of the floor where the broken-down hall operating panel 3 is installed, eliminating the need to move to another floor to register an elevator call.

[0049] Moreover, the elevator system 100 of this embodiment includes the above-mentioned elevator call registration device 10, and an elevator management unit 51 that dispatches an elevator car 2 to the Nth floor, which is the first floor where the broken first hall operating panel 31a is installed, based on elevator call registration information input from the mobile terminal 7 connected to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a of the elevator call registration device 10 and transmitted from the communication unit 52. With the above configuration, elevator users can register elevator calls from the mobile terminal 7, which is a substitute for the broken existing hall operating panel 3, even during the period between when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down and when the hall operating panel 3 is restored by an elevator maintenance worker, and can continue to use the elevator, thereby improving the convenience of the elevator. Furthermore, with the above configuration, only one hall operating panel 3 is installed at the landing 1 of each floor, and even if that hall operating panel 3 breaks down, an elevator call can be registered from the landing 1 of the floor where the broken-down hall operating panel 3 is installed, so there is no need to travel to another floor to register an elevator call, and the elevator can continue to be used from the landing 1 of the floor where the broken-down hall operating panel 3 is installed, thereby improving elevator convenience.

[0050] The mobile terminal 7 of the present embodiment is a mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4 of the above-mentioned elevator call registration device 10, and includes a mobile terminal communication unit 71 that communicates with the communication unit 52 and receives setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a, an output unit 73 that outputs elevator call registration means to an elevator user, an input unit 74 that accepts input of elevator call registration information from the elevator user, and a mobile terminal control unit 72 that causes the output unit 73 to output the elevator call registration means based on the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a received by the mobile terminal communication unit 71, and transmits the elevator call registration information input from the input unit 74 based on the elevator call registration means to the communication unit 52 via the mobile terminal communication unit 71. With the above configuration, the minimum work required until elevator call registration is possible from the mobile terminal 7 when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down is only the work of connecting the mobile terminal 7 to the mobile terminal detection unit 4, and the above work can be performed by anyone, not just elevator maintenance personnel. Therefore, with the above configuration, in the event of a breakdown in the existing hall operating panel 3, for example, an elevator manager can install a portable terminal 7 that is a replacement for the existing hall operating panel 3, and elevator users can register elevator calls from the portable terminal 7 that is a replacement for the broken-down existing hall operating panel 3, even during the period between the breakdown of the existing hall operating panel 3 and the time when the hall operating panel 3 is restored by elevator maintenance personnel.

[0051] Moreover, the elevator call registration method of the present embodiment is an elevator call registration method for performing elevator call registration when a first hall operating panel 31a among hall operating panels 3 that are installed at halls 1 of each elevator floor and for calling an elevator car 2 to each floor breaks down, the method including the steps of: determining whether or not a mobile terminal 7 is connected to a first mobile terminal detection unit 41a that is installed corresponding to the broken first hall operating panel 31a and detects whether or not a mobile terminal 7 is connected; and, when it is determined that the mobile terminal 7 is connected to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a, By providing the steps of: starting communication with the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 41a of the first hall operating panel 31a; transmitting setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a corresponding to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a that detected the connection with the mobile terminal 7 to the mobile terminal 7; and providing the mobile terminal 7 with an elevator call registration means based on the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a, even if the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down and elevator call registration from the existing hall operating panel 3 becomes impossible, elevator call registration can be performed from the mobile terminal 7. Note that with the above configuration, the minimum work required until elevator call registration from the mobile terminal 7 becomes possible when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down is only the work of connecting the mobile terminal 7 to the mobile terminal detection unit 4, and the above work can be performed by anyone other than elevator maintenance personnel. Therefore, with the above configuration, in the event of a breakdown in the existing hall operating panel 3, for example, an elevator manager can install a portable terminal 7 that is a replacement for the existing hall operating panel 3, and elevator users can register elevator calls from the portable terminal 7 that is a replacement for the broken-down existing hall operating panel 3, even during the period between the breakdown of the existing hall operating panel 3 and the time when the hall operating panel 3 is restored by elevator maintenance personnel.

[0052] Moreover, the elevator call registration program of this embodiment is an elevator call registration program that performs elevator call registration when a first hall operating panel 31a among hall operating panels 3 that are installed at halls 1 of each elevator floor and that call an elevator car 2 at each floor breaks down, and includes a step of determining whether or not a mobile terminal 7 is connected to a first mobile terminal detection unit 41a that is installed corresponding to the broken first hall operating panel 31a and detects whether or not a mobile terminal 7 is connected, and when it is determined that the mobile terminal 7 is connected to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a, By having a computer execute the steps of starting communication with the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 41a, transmitting to the mobile terminal 7 setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a corresponding to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a that detected the connection with the mobile terminal 7, and providing the mobile terminal 7 with an elevator call registration means based on the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a, it is possible to register an elevator call from the mobile terminal 7 even when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down and elevator call registration from the existing hall operating panel 3 becomes impossible. Note that with the above configuration, the minimum work required until elevator call registration from the mobile terminal 7 becomes possible when the existing hall operating panel 3 breaks down is only the work of connecting the mobile terminal 7 to the mobile terminal detection unit 4, and the above work can be performed by anyone other than elevator maintenance personnel. Therefore, with the above configuration, in the event of a breakdown in the existing hall operating panel 3, for example, an elevator manager can install a portable terminal 7 that is a replacement for the existing hall operating panel 3, and elevator users can register elevator calls from the portable terminal 7 that is a replacement for the broken-down existing hall operating panel 3, even during the period between the breakdown of the existing hall operating panel 3 and the time when the hall operating panel 3 is restored by elevator maintenance personnel.

[0053] In the above, in step S101, the communication unit 52 receives the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 from the hall operating panel 3 of each floor, and the memory unit 53 stores the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 via the communication unit 52, but step S101 may be omitted. For example, if the malfunction of the hall operating panel 3 is a communication failure with the communication unit 52, in step S101, the communication unit 52 needs to obtain the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 in advance from the hall operating panel 3 and store it in the memory unit 53 before the hall operating panel 3 malfunctions. However, if the malfunction of the hall operating panel 3 is due to physical damage to the hall operating panel 3 itself but communication with the communication unit 52 is possible, for example, if the hall operating panel 3 is configured as a tablet terminal and the liquid crystal display of the tablet terminal is damaged and it becomes impossible to register an elevator call from the hall operating panel 3, step S101 may be omitted, and when the communication unit 52 starts communication with the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4 in step S103, it may also communicate with the malfunctioning hall operating panel 3 and receive setting information of the hall operating panel 3 from the hall operating panel 3, and in step S104, the communication unit 52 may transmit the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 to the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4.

[0054] In step S104, the communication unit 52 may determine whether or not to transmit the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 to the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4. In detail, the communication unit 52 may communicate with the mobile terminal 7 connected to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a installed in the hall 1a on the Nth floor, which is the first floor, corresponding to the first hall operating panel 31a, receive identification information of the mobile terminal 7 from the mobile terminal 7, and determine whether or not to transmit the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a to the mobile terminal 7 based on the identification information. By doing so, for example, when it is desired to transmit the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 only to the mobile terminal 7 possessed by the elevator manager, it is possible to prevent the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 from being transmitted even if the mobile terminal 7 possessed by the elevator user is connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4.

[0055] In the above, in step S104, the communication unit 52 transmits to the mobile terminal 7 the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a corresponding to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a that detected the connection with the mobile terminal 7. However, the communication unit 52 may periodically receive information necessary for elevator call registration from the elevator management unit 51, and transmit the information necessary for elevator call registration received from the elevator management unit 51 together with the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a to the mobile terminal 7. Note that examples of the information necessary for elevator call registration periodically received from the elevator management unit 51 include information on whether or not an elevator call can be registered, and information on floors that can be registered as destination floors. In this way, an elevator user can check from the mobile terminal 7 whether an elevator call can be currently registered and which floors can be registered as destination floors.

[0056] Also, the mobile terminal detection unit 4 and the mobile terminal 7 may be wired connected with a communication / charging cable 8, the mobile terminal detection unit 4 may function as a charging unit that charges the mobile terminal 7, and the communication unit 52 may perform wired communication with the mobile terminal 7 via the mobile terminal detection unit 4. In this way, the mobile terminal 7 can be charged while an elevator call is being registered by the mobile terminal 7 that is connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4 and has started communicating with the communication unit 52. Therefore, even if it takes a long time for the elevator maintenance person to arrive, elevator call registration from the mobile terminal 7 can be performed for a long time.

[0057] In addition, when the hall operating panel 3 is not broken, if the mobile terminal 7 is wired connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4 with the communication and charging cable 8 for the sole purpose of charging the mobile terminal 7, in step S104, the communication unit 52 may determine whether or not to transmit the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 to the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4, and may not transmit the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 to the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4. For example, when the mobile terminal 7 is wired connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4 for the sole purpose of charging the mobile terminal 7, the communication unit 52 may determine that communication with the hall operating panel 3 is being performed normally, and may determine not to transmit the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 to the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4.

[0058] As described above, in step S105, the mobile terminal 7 is provided with elevator call registration means, but in addition to the elevator call registration means, the mobile terminal 7 may be provided with a reporting means for reporting to the elevator control center 6 that the first hall operating panel 31a needs to be restored. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a screen display of the mobile terminal 7 connected to the mobile terminal detection unit 4 of the elevator call registration device 10.

[0059] As shown in FIG. 9, for example, the mobile terminal 7 is a tablet terminal, and the mobile terminal control unit 72 may display a notification unit 76 that notifies the elevator management center 6 of a malfunction of the hall operating panel 3 on a liquid crystal display, which is the output unit 73, and the elevator manager may operate the notification unit 76 to notify the elevator management center 6. In addition, when the mobile terminal control unit 72 determines that the elevator manager has operated the notification unit 76, it may stop the output of the notification unit 76 from the output unit 73. By doing so, when the elevator user performs an elevator call registration from the mobile terminal 7, the notification unit 76 can be prevented from being operated again by the elevator user. Note that the output unit 73 may be composed of a voice output device such as a speaker, and the notification unit 76 may be composed of a voice input device such as a microphone, and the elevator manager may input a voice to notify the elevator management center 6.

[0060] The communication unit 52 may be configured to determine whether or not a report has been sent to the elevator control center 6 from a reporting means provided in the mobile terminal 7. When the communication unit 52 determines that a report has not been sent from the mobile terminal 7 to the elevator control center 6, the communication unit 52 may notify the elevator control unit 51 that a report has not been sent from the mobile terminal 7 to the elevator control center 6, and the elevator control unit 51 may notify the elevator control center 6 that the hall operating panel 3 has broken down.

[0061] Next, a modified example of the first embodiment will be described. FIG. 10 is a flow chart showing a processing flow of the elevator call registration device according to the modified example. As in the first embodiment, in the following description, as shown in FIG. 4, a processing flow example of the elevator call registration device 10 in the case where the first hall operating panel 31a installed at the first hall operating panel installation location 111a provided at the hall 1a breaks down will be described. However, the same processing flow will be performed in the case where the hall operating panels 31b, 32a, and 32b installed at the other hall operating panel installation locations 111b, 112a, and 112b break down. In the following description, a processing flow example of the elevator call registration device according to the modified example will be described in the case where the breakdown of the first hall operating panel 31a is a communication failure with the communication unit 52.

[0062] A processing flow of the elevator call registration device according to the modified example will be described with reference to Fig. 10. As shown in Fig. 10, the elevator call registration device according to the modified example further includes steps S106 to S108 in addition to the processing of steps S101 to S105 which are the processing of the elevator call registration device 10 according to the first embodiment.

[0063] After the above-mentioned step S105, in step S106, the communication unit 52 determines whether or not the connection between the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a and the mobile terminal 7 has been disconnected. If the communication unit 52 determines that the connection between the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a and the mobile terminal 7 has been disconnected, it is assumed that the connection between the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a and the mobile terminal 7 has been disconnected and that the elevator maintenance person has completed recovery of the broken first hall operating panel 31a, and the process proceeds to step S107.

[0064] In step S107, the communication unit 52 starts communication with the restored first hall operating panel 31a corresponding to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a whose connection with the mobile terminal 7 has been cut off, and the process proceeds to step S108.

[0065] In step S108, the communication unit 52 extracts the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a corresponding to the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a whose connection with the mobile terminal 7 has been cut off from the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 for each floor stored in the memory unit 53 in step S102, and transmits the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a to the restored first hall operating panel 31a.

[0066] The above is the process flow of the elevator call registration device according to the modified example. When the communication unit 52 of the elevator call registration device according to the modified example determines that the connection between the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a and the mobile terminal 7 has been cut off, it extracts the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a from the setting information of each hall operating panel 3 stored in the storage unit 53, and transmits the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a to the restored first hall operating panel 31a. With the above configuration, when the malfunction of the existing hall operating panel 3 is a communication failure with the communication unit 52, when the communication between the existing hall operating panel 3 and the communication unit 52 is restored by the elevator maintenance staff, the setting information of the hall operating panel 3 stored in advance in the storage unit 53 is transmitted by the communication unit 52 to the restored hall operating panel 3, so that the elevator call can be registered from the restored hall operating panel 3. Therefore, the efficiency of the restoration work of the hall operating panel 3 by the elevator maintenance staff can be improved.

[0067] In the above, when the communication unit 52 determines that the connection between the first mobile terminal detection unit 41a and the mobile terminal 7 has been cut in step S106, the first hall operating panel 31a that had broken down is considered to have been restored by the elevator maintenance staff. However, for example, when the communication unit 52 determines that communication with the restored first hall operating panel 31a is possible, the communication unit 52 may determine that recovery of the first hall operating panel 31a that had broken down is completed by the elevator maintenance staff. Therefore, when the communication unit 52 determines that communication with the restored first hall operating panel 31a is possible, the communication unit 52 may extract the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a from the setting information of each hall operating panel 3 stored in the storage unit 53, and transmit the setting information of the first hall operating panel 31a to the restored first hall operating panel 31a.
