[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0010] Embodiment 1 Fig. 1 is a diagram showing an example of the overall configuration in the embodiment 1. In Fig. 1, a station elevator 100 is provided in a station building, and includes a control system 1 and an elevator main body 120.
[0011] The elevator body 120 includes a car 140, a hoist (not shown), a suspension body (not shown), a counterweight (not shown), a ticket gate floor landing panel 130, and a platform floor landing panel 150.
[0012] The hoist has a drive sheave, a hoist motor, and a hoist brake. The hoist motor rotates the drive sheave. The hoist brake holds the drive sheave stationary. The hoist brake also brakes the rotation of the drive sheave.
[0013] The suspension body is wound around the drive sheave. The suspension body is made of multiple ropes or multiple belts. The car 140 and counterweight are suspended by the suspension body, and the car moves up and down in the hoistway as the drive sheave rotates.
[0014] The car 140 moves between the ticket gate floor and the platform floor to transport passengers inside the car 140. The car 140 is equipped with a car body 140a, an in-car beacon transmitter 141, an in-car destination designation button 142, a speaker 143, a monitor 144, and a photoelectric sensor 145.
[0015] The in-car destination designation button 142 is a button operated by a user inside the car 140. The in-car destination designation button 142 includes an operation button for designating a destination floor. The in-car destination designation button 142 also includes an open button for keeping the door open and a close button for closing the door.
[0016] The speaker 143 and the monitor 144 are notification devices that notify the user in the car 140. The speaker 143 notifies the user in the car 140 by voice. The monitor 144 notifies the user in the car 140 by displaying an image.
[0017] The in-car beacon transmitter 141 transmits a beacon signal using BLE (Bluetooth (registered trademark) Low Energy) wireless technology. The radio wave strength of the in-car beacon transmitter 141 is adjusted to such an extent that the beacon signal is not output outside the car 140.
[0018] The photoelectric sensor 145 is a transmission type sensor provided on the door of the car 140. The photoelectric sensor 145 detects whether or not a person has passed through the door of the car 140.
[0019] The ticket gate floor platform panel 130 is provided at the ticket gate floor platform, and includes a ticket gate floor beacon transmitter 131 and a ticket gate floor call button 132.
[0020] The ticket gate floor beacon transmitter 131 transmits a beacon signal within the output range of the platform on the ticket gate floor. The ticket gate floor call button 132 is an operation button for calling the car 140 to the ticket gate floor.
[0021] The platform floor landing panel 150 is provided at the platform floor landing, and is equipped with a platform floor beacon transmitter 151 and a platform floor call button 152.
[0022] The platform floor beacon transmitter 151 transmits a beacon signal within the output range of the platform floor landing. The platform floor call button 152 is an operation button for calling the car 140 to the platform floor.
[0023] The control system 1 includes an operation control device 110 .
[0024] The operation control device 110 controls the operation of the car 140. The operation control device 110 controls the operation of the car 140 in response to the operation of the ticket gate floor call button 132, the in-car destination designation button 142, and the platform floor call button 152, respectively.
[0025] The operation control device 110 also controls the speaker 143 and the monitor 144 to notify the users in the car 140.
[0026] The operation control device 110 also controls the ticket gate floor beacon transmitter 131, the car beacon transmitter 141, and the platform floor beacon transmitter 151 to transmit beacon signals.
[0027] Furthermore, a detection signal from a photoelectric sensor 145 is input to the operation control device 110. Based on the detection signal from the photoelectric sensor 145, the operation control device 110 determines whether or not a person has boarded the car 140.
[0028] The operation control device 110 is also connected to the data server 300 via the Internet. The control system 1 may be provided with a dedicated device for communicating with the data server 300.
[0029] The data server 300 is installed in, for example, a control center. The data server 300 relays data transmission and reception between the operation control device 110 and the mobile terminal 200 via the Internet network.
[0030] The mobile terminal 200 is, for example, a smartphone carried by a user, and is connected to a data server 300 via the Internet.
[0031] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mobile terminal 200 shown in FIG.
[0032] The mobile terminal 200 includes a beacon receiving unit 210, a GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) information receiving unit 220, an acceleration detecting unit 230, a departure command creating unit 240, a boarding schedule information creating unit 250, a communication control unit 260, and a terminal status information creating unit 270.
[0033] The beacon receiving unit 210 receives a beacon signal transmitted from the ticket gate floor beacon transmitter 131, the car beacon transmitter 141, or the platform floor beacon transmitter 151.
[0034] The GNSS information receiving unit 220 receives signals transmitted from a plurality of GNSS satellites and detects the current position of the mobile terminal 200 .
[0035] The acceleration detection unit 230 is an inertial sensor that detects acceleration in three axial directions, and detects the acceleration of the mobile terminal 200 .
[0036] The boarding schedule information creating unit 250 creates boarding schedule information. The boarding schedule information is information that indicates that a user who is located within a set distance from the station building is planning to board the car 140.
[0037] Furthermore, the boarding schedule information creation unit 250 pre-stores position information of the elevator main body 120 as information indicating the position of the station building. The boarding schedule information creation unit 250 creates boarding schedule information when the distance between the position of the elevator main body 120 and the current position is within a set distance.
[0038] The boarding plan information includes a communication identifier, boarding floor information, disembarking floor information, and departure time information.
[0039] The communication identifier is a unique value for distinguishing communications.
[0040] The boarding floor information is information indicating the floor at which a user carrying the mobile terminal 200 plans to board the car 140. The disembarking floor information is information indicating the floor at which a user carrying the mobile terminal 200 plans to disembark from the car 140.
[0041] When a user arrives at a station on foot and plans to board a train, the boarding floor is the ticket gate floor and the disembarking floor is the platform floor. On the other hand, when a train carrying the user is about to arrive at a station, the boarding floor is the platform floor and the disembarking floor is the ticket gate floor. The boarding floor information and disembarking floor information are set in advance in the mobile terminal 200 by the user's operation.
[0042] The departure time information is information relating to the departure time of the train that the user is planning to board. The departure time information is set in advance in the mobile terminal 200 by an operation of the user.
[0043] Terminal state information creation unit 270 creates terminal state information. The terminal state information is information for determining whether the user is running. The terminal state information includes at least one of information on the moving speed of mobile terminal 200 and the vibration amount of mobile terminal 200.
[0044] The terminal state information creation unit 270 calculates the moving speed based on the current position at each time detected by the GNSS information reception unit 220. The terminal state information creation unit 270 also calculates the amount of vibration based on the acceleration detected by the acceleration detection unit 230.
[0045] The departure command creation unit 240 creates a departure command. The departure command is a command for causing the car 140 to depart after a user gets on the car 140. The departure command is created when the beacon receiving unit 210 receives a beacon signal from the in-car beacon transmitter 141.
[0046] The departure command includes a communication identifier, the value of which is the same as the communication identifier included in the boarding schedule information.
[0047] The communication control unit 260 controls communication with the data server 300. The communication control unit 260 transmits boarding schedule information, terminal status information, and departure commands to the operation control device 110 via the data server 300.
[0048] Fig. 3 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the operation control device 110 shown in Fig. 1. The operation control device 110 includes a boarding schedule information acquisition unit 111, a departure time information acquisition unit 112, a status information acquisition unit 113, and a standby control unit 114.
[0049] The boarding schedule information acquisition unit 111 acquires boarding schedule information from the mobile terminal 200 via the data server 300.
[0050] The departure time information acquisition unit 112 extracts and acquires departure time information from the boarding schedule information.
[0051] The state information acquisition unit 113 acquires the terminal state information from the mobile terminal 200 via the data server 300 .
[0052] Based on the boarding plan information, the standby control unit 114 selects a boarding floor where the user plans to board the car 140. Furthermore, the standby control unit 114 causes the car 140 to wait at the selected boarding floor.
[0053] If the car 140 is not at the boarding floor, the standby control unit 114 moves the car 140 to the boarding floor and then causes the car 140 to wait. Also, if the car 140 is at the boarding floor, the standby control unit 114 causes the car 140 to wait as is.
[0054] Furthermore, when boarding schedule information is received from a plurality of mobile terminals 200, the standby control unit 114 determines a top priority terminal that is the mobile terminal 200 that should be given the highest priority. The top priority terminal is determined based on the terminal status information transmitted from each mobile terminal 200.
[0055] Furthermore, when the boarding floor is the ticket gate floor and the car is waiting at the ticket gate floor, the standby control unit 114 calculates the standby time of the car 140 based on the departure time information. This standby time is referred to as the ticket gate floor standby time. When the ticket gate floor standby time has elapsed, the standby control unit 114 releases the standby state of the car 140.
[0056] Fig. 4 is a flowchart showing the processing of the mobile terminal 200 shown in Fig. 2. The flowchart of Fig. 4 is repeatedly executed.
[0057] In step S101, mobile terminal 200 determines whether or not it is located within a set distance from the station building based on the location information of mobile terminal 200 and the location information of the station building. If mobile terminal 200 is not located within the set distance from the station building, it ends the processing of Fig. 4. On the other hand, if mobile terminal 200 is located within the set distance from the station building, it proceeds to step S102.
[0058] In step S102, the mobile terminal 200 creates boarding schedule information. In step S103, the mobile terminal 200 creates terminal state information including a moving speed. Note that the mobile terminal 200 may create terminal state information including a vibration amount.
[0059] In step S104, the mobile terminal 200 transmits the boarding schedule information and the terminal status information.
[0060] After step S104, the mobile terminal 200 ends the processing of FIG.
[0061] FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the standby process of the operation control device 110 shown in FIG.
[0062] In step S201, the boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 determines whether boarding plan information has been acquired. If boarding plan information has not been acquired, the boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 ends the processing in Fig. 5. In this case, the flowchart in Fig. 5 is executed again.
[0063] If the boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 acquires the boarding plan information, the processing proceeds to step S202.
[0064] In step S202, the standby control unit 114 determines whether or not the boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 has acquired two or more pieces of boarding plan information. This step S202 is a step for determining whether or not boarding plan information has been transmitted from a plurality of mobile terminals 200 at the same time.
[0065] If the boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 has not acquired two or more pieces of boarding plan information, the standby control unit 114 proceeds to step S204. On the other hand, if the boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 has acquired two or more pieces of boarding plan information, the standby control unit 114 proceeds to step S203.
[0066] In step S203, the standby control unit 114 determines a highest priority terminal from among the plurality of mobile terminals 200 based on the terminal status information sent together with the boarding schedule information.
[0067] If the user is running, the standby control unit 114 determines that the user is in a hurry. Also, the moving speed of the user when running is faster than when walking. Therefore, the standby control unit 114 determines the mobile terminal 200 with the fastest moving speed as the highest priority terminal.
[0068] The same applies when the terminal state information includes the vibration amount. The vibration amount when the user is running is greater than when the user is walking. Therefore, the standby control unit 114 determines the mobile terminal 200 with the greatest vibration amount as the highest priority terminal.
[0069] When the terminal state information includes both the moving speed and the vibration amount, the standby control unit 114 determines the highest priority terminal by giving priority to the moving speed.
[0070] Furthermore, users on a moving train are moving at a speed faster than the normal running speed of a person. On the other hand, it is difficult to determine whether a user on a moving train is in a hurry. For this reason, the standby control unit 114 excludes a mobile terminal 200 on a moving train if the moving speed is equal to or greater than a set threshold. This set threshold is determined in advance based on the normal running speed of a person.
[0071] After determining the highest priority terminal in step S203, the standby control unit 114 stops processing for the other mobile terminals 200. Then, the standby control unit 114 performs the subsequent processing, assuming that the highest priority terminal is the only mobile terminal 200 that has transmitted boarding schedule information.
[0072] In step S204, the standby control unit 114 compares the current floor of the car 140 with the boarding floor included in the boarding schedule information. Then, the standby control unit 114 determines whether or not it is necessary to move the car 140.
[0073] If the current floor of the car 140 is different from the boarding floor included in the boarding schedule information, the standby control unit 114 determines that it is necessary to move the car 140 to the boarding floor. In this case, the standby control unit 114 advances the process to step S205.
[0074] On the other hand, if the current floor of the car 140 and the boarding floor are the same, the standby control unit 114 determines that there is no need to move the car 140, and advances the process to step S207.
[0075] In step S205, the standby control unit 114 notifies the inside of the car 140 of information that the car 140 will be moved to the boarding floor using the speaker 143 and the monitor 144. Then, in step S206, the standby control unit 114 moves the car 140 to the boarding floor.
[0076] In step S207, the standby control unit 114 notifies the user's mobile terminal 200 that the car 140 is waiting at the boarding floor. When the standby control unit 114 receives boarding schedule information from two or more mobile terminals 200, the standby control unit 114 may notify only the highest priority terminal or may notify all mobile terminals 200.
[0077] After step S207, the standby control unit 114 ends the processing of FIG. 5 and executes the processing of the flowchart of FIG.
[0078] Fig. 6 is a flowchart showing the departure control process of the operation control device 110 shown in Fig. 3. The flowchart in Fig. 6 is executed after the flowchart in Fig. 5 is executed.
[0079] In step S301, the standby control unit 114 determines whether or not a person has entered the car 140 based on a detection signal from the photoelectric sensor 145. If a person has entered, the standby control unit 114 proceeds to step S302. If a person has not entered, the standby control unit 114 proceeds to step S306.
[0080] In step S302, the standby control unit 114 determines whether a departure command has been received from the mobile terminal 200.
[0081] Here, the operation of the mobile terminal 200 in step S302 will be described. When the mobile terminal 200 receives a beacon signal from the in-car beacon transmitter 141, it determines that a user has boarded the car 140. Then, the mobile terminal 200 transmits a departure command to the operation control device 110 via the data server 300.
[0082] When the standby control unit 114 receives the departure command from the mobile terminal 200, it determines that the person who has boarded the car 140 is the user who is carrying the mobile terminal 200, and advances the process to step S303.
[0083] On the other hand, if the standby control unit 114 does not receive a departure command from the mobile terminal 200, it determines that the person who has boarded the car 140 is not a user carrying the mobile terminal 200, and proceeds to step S306.
[0084] In step S303, the standby control unit 114 notifies the inside of the car 140 using the speaker 143 and the monitor 144 of information to the effect that the car 140 is to be moved.
[0085] In step S304, the standby control unit 114 moves the car 140 to the disembarking floor included in the boarding schedule information. After step S304, the standby control unit 114 ends the processing in Fig. 6. In this case, the standby control unit 114 returns the processing to the flowchart in Fig. 5.
[0086] On the other hand, the standby control unit 114 determines whether the standby time has elapsed in S306. Here, the method for calculating the standby time differs depending on whether the boarding floor is the ticket gate floor or the platform floor.
[0087] When the boarding floor of the user is the ticket gate floor, the standby control unit 114 calculates the waiting time at the ticket gate floor based on the departure time information. The standby control unit 114 also calculates the waiting time at the ticket gate floor by taking into consideration the time required for the door of the car 140 to close, the travel time of the car 140, the travel speed of the person to the train, etc.
[0088] If the ticket gate floor waiting time has not elapsed, the standby control unit 114 proceeds to step S307. On the other hand, if the ticket gate floor waiting time has elapsed before the user boards the car 140, the standby control unit 114 proceeds to step S308.
[0089] In step S306, if the boarding floor is a platform floor, the standby control unit 114 determines whether the platform floor standby time has elapsed. The platform floor standby time is set in the standby control unit 114 in advance.
[0090] If the platform floor waiting time has not elapsed, the standby control unit 114 proceeds to step S307. On the other hand, if the platform floor waiting time has elapsed before the user boards the car 140, the standby control unit 114 proceeds to step S308.
[0091] In step S307, the standby control unit 114 notifies the inside of the car 140 of information that the car 140 is waiting to wait for a user, using the speaker 143 and the monitor 144. After step S307, the standby control unit 114 returns the process to step S301.
[0092] In step S308, the standby control unit 114 releases the standby state of the car 140 and cancels control caused by the mobile terminal 200. After step S308, the standby control unit 114 ends the processing of the flowchart in Fig. 6. In this case, the standby control unit 114 returns the processing to the flowchart in Fig. 5.
[0093] The operation control device 110 in the first embodiment includes a boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 and a standby control unit 114. The boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 acquires boarding plan information from a mobile terminal 200 carried by a user. The boarding plan information is information that a user who is located within a set distance from the station building plans to board the car 140. The standby control unit 114 selects a boarding floor at which the user plans to board the car 140, based on the boarding plan information. Then, the standby control unit 114 causes the car 140 to wait at the boarding floor.
[0094] Therefore, the control system 1 for the station elevator 100 can further improve convenience for users.
[0095] Furthermore, when the elevator 140 is made to wait at a boarding floor, the standby control unit 114 notifies the inside of the elevator 140 of the information that the elevator 140 is made to wait for a user by the speaker 143 and the monitor 144. Therefore, anyone aboard the elevator 140 other than the user can understand the reason for the standby.
[0096] Furthermore, when it is necessary to move the car 140 to the boarding floor before making the car 140 wait at the boarding floor, the standby control unit 114 notifies the inside of the car 140 of information that the car 140 will be moved to the boarding floor by the speaker 143 and the monitor 144. Therefore, anyone aboard the car 140 other than the user can understand the reason for the movement.
[0097] Furthermore, when the car 140 is made to wait at the ticket gate floor, the standby control unit 114 calculates a ticket gate floor waiting time based on the departure time information. Furthermore, when the ticket gate floor waiting time has elapsed before a passenger boards the car 140, the standby control unit 114 releases the standby state of the car 140 at the ticket gate floor. This allows the car 140 to wait until the passenger inside the car 140 can make it to the train's departure time.
[0098] Furthermore, a platform floor waiting time is set in the standby control unit 114. When the standby control unit 114 makes the car 140 wait on the platform floor, the standby control unit 114 releases the standby state of the car 140 on the platform floor if the platform floor waiting time has elapsed before a user boards the car 140. This makes it possible to prevent the car 140 from continuing to wait on the platform floor.
[0099] The operation control device 110 also includes a status information acquisition unit 113. The status information acquisition unit 113 acquires, from the mobile terminal 200, terminal status information including at least one of the information on the movement speed of the mobile terminal 200 and the vibration amount of the mobile terminal 200. When the boarding plan information acquisition unit 111 acquires two or more pieces of boarding plan information before selecting a boarding floor, the standby control unit 114 selects a boarding floor based on the terminal status information. Therefore, even when two or more pieces of boarding plan information are acquired, it is possible to select only one boarding floor.
[0100] If there is another floor within the section between the ticket gate floor and the platform floor, the elevator main body 120 also moves the car 140 to this other floor. If there is another floor outside the section between the ticket gate floor and the platform floor, the elevator main body 120 also moves the car 140 to this other floor.
[0101] Furthermore, the boarding schedule information creation unit 250 creates boarding schedule information based on the distance between the current location of the mobile terminal 200 and the location of the station building. On the other hand, the boarding schedule information creation unit 250 may create boarding schedule information when the beacon receiving unit 210 receives a beacon signal from the ticket gate floor beacon transmitter 131 or the platform floor beacon transmitter 151.
[0102] Furthermore, the departure time information acquisition unit 112 of the operation control device 110 may estimate the departure time of the train based on the time when the boarding schedule information is received. In this case, the departure time information does not need to be transmitted from the mobile terminal 200.
[0103] Each function of the operation control device 110 of the first embodiment is realized by a processing circuit. Fig. 7 is a configuration diagram showing a first example of a processing circuit that realizes each function of the operation control device 110 of the first embodiment. The processing circuit 600 of the first example is dedicated hardware.
[0104] The processing circuit 600 may be, 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 thereof. Each function of the operation control device 110 may be implemented by a separate processing circuit 600. Alternatively, all functions of the operation control device 110 may be implemented collectively by the processing circuit 600.
[0105] 8 is a diagram showing a second example of a processing circuit that realizes each function of the operation control device 110 according to the first embodiment. The processing circuit 700 of the second example includes a processor 710 and a memory 720.
[0106] In the processing circuit 700, each function of the operation control device 110 is realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. The software and firmware are written as programs. The software and firmware are stored in the memory 720. The processor 710 realizes the function of each unit by reading and executing the programs stored in the memory 720.
[0107] It can be said that the programs stored in memory 720 cause the computer to execute the procedures or methods of the above-mentioned sections. Here, memory 720 corresponds to non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory), and EEPROM (Electrically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory).
