Abstract

The present invention provides a management system, a management device, a management method, a management program, a mobile body control device, and an elevator control device that make building management more efficient. [Solution] The management device 21 includes a detection unit 26, a movement control unit 25, a determination unit 27, and a stop floor management unit 30. The detection unit 26 detects people within a detection range around the moving object 15 based on observation information acquired by an observation device 16 of the moving object 15. The movement control unit 25 designates one of the floors of a building 2 as a target floor and causes the moving object 15 to patrol the target floor. The determination unit 27 monitors whether the detection unit 26 detects a person while the moving object 15 is patrolling the target floor. When the detection unit 26 does not detect a person while patrolling the target floor, the determination unit 27 determines that no resident is present on the target floor. When the stop floor management unit 30 receives a determination result from the determination unit 27 that no resident is present on the target floor, it sets the target floor as a non-stop floor at which the car 10 of the elevator 3 will not be stopped.

[Figure 2] 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of processing in the management device according to the first embodiment. [Figure 3] 1 is a hardware configuration diagram of a main part of a management system according to a first embodiment. [Figure 4] FIG. 10 is a configuration diagram of a management system according to a second embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] The following describes embodiments of the subject matter of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings. In each drawing, identical or corresponding parts are designated by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are appropriately simplified or omitted. Note that the subject matter of the present disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and any component of the embodiments may be modified or omitted within the scope of the gist of the present disclosure.

[0015] Embodiment 1 FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a management system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0016] The management system 1 is applied to a building 2. The management system 1 is a system that, for example, operates facilities in the building 2, provides security for the building 2, and manages other buildings 2. The building 2 is, for example, a commercial facility, an office building, or other facility, or a complex of these. The building 2 has multiple floors.

[0017] An elevator 3 is applied to a building 2. The elevator 3 is an example of equipment in the building 2. The elevator 3 may be an internal device included in the management system 1, or an external device of the management system 1 that cooperates with the management system 1. The elevator 3 is a device that transports users 4 of the building 2, etc., between multiple floors of the building 2. A hoistway 5 for the elevator 3 is provided in the building 2. The hoistway 5 is a long space extending vertically across multiple floors. A landing 6 for the elevator 3 is provided on each floor of the building 2. The landing 6 is a location that leads to the hoistway 5. A landing operating panel 7 is provided at each landing 6. The landing operating panel 7 is a device that accepts operations for registering a landing call for the elevator 3 by users 4 at the landing 6. A landing call is, for example, a call made at the landing 6 of the departure floor where the user begins using the elevator 3.

[0018] The elevator 3 includes a traction machine 8, a main rope 9, a car 10, a counterweight 11, and a control panel 12. The traction machine 8 includes a motor that generates drive torque and a drive sheave that rotates due to the drive torque generated by the motor. The traction machine 8 is disposed, for example, at the upper or lower part of the hoistway 5. The main rope 9 is wound around the drive sheave of the traction machine 8. The main rope 9 supports the load of the car 10 on one side of the drive sheave of the traction machine 8. The main rope 9 supports the load of the counterweight 11 on the other side of the drive sheave of the traction machine 8. When the drive sheave of the traction machine 8 rotates, the main rope 9 moves so that one side of the drive sheave of the traction machine 8 is wound up. The car 10 and counterweight 11 are disposed in the hoistway 5. The car 10 and the counterweight 11 travel in opposite directions in the vertical direction when the main rope 9 is moved by the hoisting machine 8. The car 10 travels up and down the hoistway 5 to transport passengers 4 and others riding on it between multiple floors of the building 2. The car 10 is equipped with a car operating panel 13. The car operating panel 13 is a device that accepts operations by passengers 4 inside the car 10 to register car calls for the elevator 3. A car call is, for example, a call that specifies the destination floor at which the car 10 should stop. The control panel 12 is a device that controls the travel of the car 10 through control of the hoisting machine 8, etc. The control panel 12 is connected to the hoisting machine 8, the car 10, and the hall operating panel 7 on each floor, etc., so as to be able to communicate control signals and the like. The control panel 12 is located, for example, at the top or bottom of the hoistway 5. When a machine room or the like for the elevator 3 is provided above the hoistway 5, the hoisting machine 8 and the control panel 12 may be arranged in the machine room.

[0019] In this example, the control panel 12 is connected to a communication network 14 so as to be able to communicate with external devices and the like. The communication network 14 includes, for example, the Internet, a telephone network, or an optical communication network. The communication network 14 may include a wide-area network, a local network such as a local area network (LAN) within the building 2, or industrial communications such as short-range wireless communications. The communication network 14 may include a wired or wireless intranet. The control panel 12 may be connected to the communication network 14 by its own communication function, or may be connected to the communication network 14 via, for example, a communication device provided in the building 2 together with the control panel 12.

[0020] One or more mobile units 15 are operating in the building 2. Each mobile unit 15 is a device that moves within the building 2 to provide services. Services provided by the mobile units 15 include, for example, transportation, guidance, security, or cleaning. Some or all of the mobile units 15 may be internal devices included in the management system 1, or external devices that cooperate with the management system 1. The mobile units 15 are equipped with wireless communication capabilities so that they can communicate information with external devices. The mobile units 15 communicate with external devices directly or indirectly via a communication network 14 or the like. The mobile units 15 may be devices that move under the control of an external device, or may be autonomous mobile units that move autonomously. The mobile units 15 may be, for example, robots, drones, or other mobile devices. The mobile units 15 move by, for example, running, walking, flying, or other modes. The mobile units 15 may move between floors of the building 2 by flying, walking, or using stairs or the like. The moving object 15 may ride in the car 10 of the elevator 3 and move between floors of the building 2. At this time, the moving object 15 may transmit a call for the departure floor, a call for the destination floor, etc. to the elevator 3 as a boarding request.

[0021] Each mobile object 15 is equipped with an observation device 16. The observation device 16 is a device that acquires observation information used to detect people within a detection range around the mobile object 15. The observation device 16 may include one or more devices. The observation device 16 includes, for example, a camera that acquires captured images as observation information. In this case, the detection range is, for example, the camera's shooting range. The observation device 16 includes, for example, a sensor that acquires measurement information as observation information. In this case, the detection range is, for example, the range that the sensor can measure. The sensor included in the observation device 16 may be, for example, a distance sensor that measures the distance to an object, a LiDAR sensor (Light Detection and Ranging) that measures three-dimensional point cloud data, an infrared sensor that measures infrared rays emitted from an object, a microphone that measures sound emitted from an object, or other sensors.

[0022] A user 4 of the building 2 may carry a mobile device 17. The mobile device 17 may be, for example, a portable information processing device such as a smartphone, a wearable device such as a smartwatch, a wireless tag, or other device capable of wireless communication. The mobile device 17 transmits a wireless signal containing an identifier that identifies itself or the user 4 carrying it, either periodically or irregularly at a preset timing, spontaneously, or in response to a request from an external device. In this case, the observation device 16 may include, for example, a wireless communication device that receives the wireless signal transmitted from the mobile device 17 carried by the user 4 as observation information. The detection range is, for example, the communication range of the wireless communication device. The wireless communication device may transmit a signal to the mobile device 17 requesting transmission of a wireless signal containing the identifier. The mobile device 17 carried by the user 4 is an example of a wireless transmitter carried by a person. Note that different types of observation devices 16 may be installed in each mobile object 15.

[0023] In this example, one or more surveillance cameras 18 are installed in the building 2. Each surveillance camera 18 is a device that captures images of the location where it is installed in the building 2. Some or all of the surveillance cameras 18 may be internal devices included in the management system 1, or may be external devices of the management system 1 that cooperate with the management system 1. The surveillance cameras 18 may be network cameras connected to the communication network 14, for example.

[0024] In the management system 1 of this example, a monitor 19 monitors the building 2. The monitor 19 may be, for example, a security guard stationed at the building 2 or a person performing monitoring duties from a remote location of the building 2. The monitor 19 monitors the building 2 using a monitoring terminal device 20. The monitoring terminal device 20 may be an internal device included in the management system 1, or an external device of the management system 1 that cooperates with the management system 1. The monitoring terminal device 20 may be, for example, a desktop PC (Personal Computer: PC), a laptop PC, a tablet PC, a smartphone, or other information processing devices. The monitoring terminal device 20 is connected to a communication network 14 so as to be able to communicate information with external devices. For example, when monitoring the building 2, the monitor 19 may view images of the building 2 captured by a monitoring camera 18 through the monitoring terminal device 20.

[0025] The management system 1 includes a management device 21. The management device 21 is a device that handles information processing for managing the building 2 in the management system 1. The management device 21 is, for example, a computer system including one or more server devices. Here, a computer system including one or more devices may be simply referred to as a computer. The multiple server devices that make up the management device 21 may be located in different locations. In this case, the multiple server devices communicate information with each other, for example, via a communication network 14. Some or all of the functions of the management device 21 may be implemented, for example, by processing, storage, or other resources on a cloud service. The management device 21 includes a mobile object control device 22 and an elevator control device 23.

[0026] The mobile object control device 22 is a device that controls the movement and other operations of the mobile object 15. The mobile object control device 22 is, for example, a computer system made up of one or more server devices. Some or all of the functions of the mobile object control device 22 may be mounted on the mobile object 15. In this case, the mobile object 15 may operate autonomously without being controlled by an external device. The mobile object control device 22 includes a first communication unit 24, a movement control unit 25, a detection unit 26, and a determination unit 27.

[0027] The first communication unit 24 is a part that performs the function of communicating with devices external to the mobile body control device 22. The first communication unit 24 receives, for example, observation information acquired by the observation device 16 of each mobile body 15. The observation information is transmitted from each mobile body 15 to the mobile body control device 22 either spontaneously at regular or irregular preset times, or in response to a request from an external device such as the mobile body control device 22. The first communication unit 24 receives, for example, image information captured by each monitoring camera 18. The image information is transmitted from each monitoring camera 18 to the mobile body control device 22 either spontaneously at regular or irregular preset times, or in response to a request from an external device such as the mobile body control device 22.

[0028] The movement control unit 25 is a part that controls the movement of the mobile unit 15 in the building 2. The movement control unit 25, for example, gives instructions to the mobile unit 15 regarding the route that the mobile unit 15 will take in the building 2. When the mobile unit 15 is performing security in the building 2, the movement control unit 25 controls the patrol of each floor of the building 2 by the mobile unit 15. The movement control unit 25 is an example of a patrol control unit. Patrolling a target floor by the mobile unit 15 is an operation in which the mobile unit 15 moves comprehensively to the target floor so that the overall situation of the target floor can be grasped. The movement control unit 25 selects one of the floors in the building 2 as the target floor, and causes one of the mobile units 15 to patrol the selected target floor.

[0029] The movement control unit 25, for example, causes a moving body 15 located on a target floor to patrol the target floor. The movement control unit 25 may, for example, cause a moving body 15 located on another floor to patrol the target floor. In this case, the movement control unit 25 may transmit a call to the floor where the moving body 15 is located and a call to the target floor as boarding requests to the elevator 3 or the elevator control device 23. The movement control unit 25 may cause one moving body 15 to patrol multiple floors sequentially. In this case, the movement control unit 25 causes the moving body 15 to patrol multiple floors sequentially, for example, from an upper floor to a lower floor or from a lower floor to an upper floor. When multiple moving bodies 15 are operating in the building 2, the movement control unit 25 may cause multiple moving bodies 15 to patrol multiple target floors in parallel. For example, the movement control unit 25 causes a moving body 15 providing security services to patrol the target floor. If the mobile body 15 is equipped with the functions necessary for patrolling, the movement control unit 25 may cause the mobile body 15, which normally provides services other than security such as guidance, to patrol the target floor.

[0030] The movement control unit 25 transmits a patrol route to the mobile object 15 based on, for example, map data of the target floor. At this time, the mobile object 15 patrols the target floor based on the transmitted route. The patrol route may be a route optimized based on the movement efficiency of the mobile object 15, or may be a randomized route that is difficult to predict. An example of a randomized route is a route in which the order of passage through the corridors of the target floor is random. The patrol route may be generated by the mobile object 15 itself on the spot while patrolling.

[0031] The movement control unit 25 causes the mobile units 15 to perform patrols based on, for example, a preset schedule. In this example, the schedule is stored in advance in the movement control unit 25. The schedule is, for example, a table that associates each floor of the building 2 with a patrol start time. There may be floors for which no patrol start time is set in the schedule. The movement control unit 25 causes any of the mobile units 15 to start patrolling a target floor at or after the start time of the patrol set in the schedule, with the floor corresponding to the start time set as the target floor. Note that the movement control unit 25 may also start patrolling by the mobile units 15 regardless of the schedule. For example, the movement control unit 25 may cause the mobile units 15 to start patrolling a target floor based on, for example, an operation by the monitor 19 via the monitoring terminal device 20. Alternatively, the mobile units 15 may start patrolling a target floor based on, for example, an operation of a patrol switch provided on the mobile units 15 themselves.

[0032] The detection unit 26 is a component that detects people within a detection range around the mobile object 15. The detection unit 26 detects people around the mobile object 15 based on observation information acquired by the observation device 16 mounted on the mobile object 15. For example, when a photographic image is acquired as the observation information, the detection unit 26 detects people through image recognition. For example, when point cloud data or the like is acquired as the observation information, the detection unit 26 detects people through object recognition. For example, when sound is acquired as the observation information, the detection unit 26 detects people when a human voice is recognized through voice recognition. For example, when infrared light is acquired as the observation information, the detection unit 26 detects people using infrared light emitted from a heat source of approximately human body temperature. For example, when infrared light is acquired as the observation information, the detection unit 26 detects the user 4 when receiving a wireless signal including an identifier of the user 4 or the mobile device 17 carried by the user 4. The detection unit 26 may detect people based on these other information or may detect people by combining these information.

[0033] The determination unit 27 is a part that determines whether or not a resident is present on a target floor patrolled by the mobile body 15. A resident is a person who is present on the target floor during the patrol by the mobile body 15. The determination unit 27 monitors whether or not the detection unit 26 detects a person while the mobile body 15 is patrolling the target floor. The determination unit 27 determines that a resident is present on the target floor when the detection unit 26 detects a person during the patrol of the target floor. The determination unit 27 determines that a resident is not present on the target floor when the detection unit 26 does not detect a person during the patrol of the target floor. The determination unit 27 outputs the determination result of whether or not a resident is present on the target floor to the elevator control device 23 via the first communication unit 24. The determination unit 27 may also output the determination result of whether or not a resident is present on the target floor to the monitoring terminal device 20 via the first communication unit 24. The first communication unit 24 is an example of an output unit. The determination unit 27 may output only the determination result that there is no resident on the target floor to the elevator control device 23, and may omit outputting the determination result to the elevator control device 23 when it determines that there is a resident on the target floor. Furthermore, when the detection unit 26 detects a person while patrolling the target floor, the determination unit 27 may request confirmation from the monitor 19 via the monitoring terminal device 20 or the like. If the monitor 19 determines that there is no resident, the determination unit 27 may follow the determination of the monitor 19 and determine that there is no resident at that time.

[0034] The determination unit 27 may retain a determination result as to whether or not a resident is present on the target floor. The determination unit 27 may output the determination result to the monitoring terminal device 20 in response to a request from the monitoring terminal device 20. The request from the monitoring terminal device 20 may be a direct request from the monitoring terminal device 20 to the determination unit 27 of the mobile object control device 22, or may be an indirect request via another server device or the like.

[0035] The elevator control device 23 is a device that manages the operating conditions of the elevator 3. The elevator control device 23 is, for example, a computer system made up of one or more server devices. Note that some or all of the functions of the elevator control device 23 may be installed on a device of the elevator 3, such as the control panel 12. The elevator control device 23 includes a second communication unit 28, a call management unit 29, and a stop floor management unit 30.

[0036] The second communication unit 28 is a part that performs the function of communicating with devices external to the elevator control device 23. For example, the second communication unit 28 receives, via the communication network 14, the determination result by the determination unit 27 as to whether or not a resident is present at a target floor patrolled by the mobile object 15. The second communication unit 28 receives operation information of the elevator 3. The operation information includes, for example, information such as the current floor or current position of the car 10. The operation information is transmitted from the control panel 12 to the elevator control device 23 spontaneously at predetermined regular or irregular intervals, or in response to a request from an external device such as the elevator control device 23.

[0037] The call management unit 29 is a part that manages calls registered in the elevator 3. The call management unit 29, for example, manages calls requested from outside the elevator 3. Calls requested from outside the elevator 3 include, for example, calls for the mobile body 15 from the mobile body 15 or the mobile body control device 22, and calls from users 4 via the mobile device 17. The call management unit 29 outputs information on external call requests to the control panel 12 of the elevator 3 via the second communication unit 28. In response to external call requests, the call management unit 29 causes the control panel 12 to register calls that the car 10 will respond to.

[0038] The stop floor management unit 30 is a part that manages floors at which the car 10 of the elevator 3 stops. The stop floor management unit 30, for example, sets whether each floor is a non-stop floor. The stop floor management unit 30 outputs the non-stop floor setting for each floor to the control panel 12 of the elevator 3 via the second communication unit 28. A non-stop floor is a floor at which the car 10 will not be stopped by a call. When a certain floor is set as a non-stop floor, calls from users 4 or moving objects 15 with that floor as their destination, such as car calls made through the car operating panel 13 specifying that floor as a destination floor and destination floor-specific calls made through the hall operating panel 7 specifying that floor as a destination floor, are invalidated. The control panel 12 does not cause the car 10 to respond to calls from users 4 or moving objects 15 with a floor set as a non-stop floor as their destination, and does not cause the car 10 to stop at that floor. Furthermore, when a certain floor is set as a non-stop floor, calls from users 4 or moving objects 15 whose departure floor is that floor, such as hall calls made through the hall operating panel 7, may also be disabled. In this case, the control panel 12 does not make the car 10 respond to calls from users 4 or moving objects 15 whose departure floor is a floor set as a non-stop floor, and does not make the car 10 stop at that floor.

[0039] Next, an example of processing in the management device 21 will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart showing an example of processing in the management device 21 according to the first embodiment.

[0040] In step S101 of the mobile body control device 22, the movement control unit 25 determines whether the current time is the start time of the tour set in the schedule. If it is not the start time of the tour, the processing of the mobile body control device 22 proceeds to step S101 again, for example, after a preset time has elapsed. On the other hand, if it is the start time of the tour, the movement control unit 25 selects the floor corresponding to the start time as the target floor. Thereafter, the processing of the mobile body control device 22 proceeds to step S102.

[0041] In step S102 of the mobile body control device 22, the movement control unit 25 selects the mobile body 15 to patrol the target floor. The movement control unit 25 requests the elevator control device 23 to register a call for the floor on which the mobile body 15 patrolling the target floor is currently located so that the mobile body 15 can board. The movement control unit 25 moves the mobile body 15 to the hall 6 of the elevator 3. Thereafter, the processing of the mobile body control device 22 proceeds to step S103.

[0042] In step S201 of the elevator control device 23, the call management unit 29 receives a request to register a call for the mobile object 15 from the movement control unit 25. The call management unit 29 transmits information about the received call to the control panel 12. The control panel 12 causes the car 10 to travel to the floor where the mobile object 15 is currently located so as to respond to the call. When the car 10 arrives at the floor where the mobile object 15 is currently located, the elevator control device 23 notifies the mobile object control device 22. Thereafter, the processing of the elevator control device 23 proceeds to step S202.

[0043] In step S103 of the moving body control device 22, the movement control unit 25 causes the moving body 15 to board the arriving car 10. After that, the processing of the moving body control device 22 proceeds to step S104.

[0044] In step S104 of the moving body control device 22, the movement control unit 25 requests the elevator control device 23 to register a call to the target floor for the car 10 in which the moving body 15 is riding. After that, the processing of the moving body control device 22 proceeds to step S105.

[0045] In step S202 of the elevator control device 23, the call management unit 29 receives a request to register a call for the mobile body 15 from the movement control unit 25. The call management unit 29 transmits information about the received call to the control panel 12. The control panel 12 causes the car 10 carrying the mobile body 15 to travel to the target floor so as to respond to the call. When the car 10 arrives at the target floor, the elevator control device 23 notifies the mobile body control device 22. Thereafter, the processing of the elevator control device 23 proceeds to step S203.

[0046] In step S105 of the moving body control device 22, the movement control unit 25 causes the moving body 15 to disembark from the arriving car 10. After that, the processing of the moving body control device 22 proceeds to step S106.

[0047] In step S106 of the mobile object control device 22, the mobile control unit 25 causes the mobile object 15 to patrol the target floor. While the mobile object 15 is patrolling the target floor, the detection unit 26 performs processing to detect a person based on observation information acquired by the observation device 16 of the mobile object 15. The determination unit 27 monitors whether the detection unit 26 detects a person while the mobile object 15 is patrolling the target floor. Thereafter, the processing of the mobile object control device 22 proceeds to step S107.

[0048] In step S107 of the mobile body control device 22, the determination unit 27 determines whether or not there is a resident on the target floor. When there is a resident on the target floor, the processing of the mobile body control device 22 proceeds to step S106, for example, after a preset time has elapsed. On the other hand, when there is no resident on the target floor, the processing of the mobile body control device 22 proceeds to step S108.

[0049] In step S108 of the mobile body control device 22, the first communication unit 24 outputs the determination result by the determination unit 27 that there is no resident on the target floor to the elevator control device 23. Thereafter, the processing of the mobile body control device 22 proceeds to step S109.

[0050] In step S203 of the elevator control device 23, the elevator control device 23 determines whether the second communication unit 28 has received the determination result by the determination unit 27 that there is no resident on the target floor. When the determination result has not been received, the processing of the elevator control device 23 proceeds to step S203 again, for example, after a preset time has elapsed. On the other hand, when the determination result has been received, the processing of the elevator control device 23 proceeds to step S204.

[0051] In step S109 of the moving body control device 22, the movement control unit 25 moves the moving body 15 to the hall 6 of the elevator 3. The movement control unit 25 causes the moving body 15 to board the car 10 stopped at the target floor. Thereafter, the processing of the moving body control device 22 proceeds to step S110.

[0052] In step S110 of the mobile body control device 22, the movement control unit 25 requests the elevator control device 23 to register a call from the target floor to another floor for the car 10 in which the mobile body 15 is riding. The other floor may be, for example, the next target floor set in a schedule or the like when the mobile body control device 22 causes the mobile body 15 to sequentially visit multiple target floors. The other floor may also be, for example, a floor where a waiting area for the mobile body 15 is provided. The waiting area for the mobile body 15 may be, for example, a location where a charging station for the mobile body 15 is provided. Thereafter, the processing of the mobile body control device 22 proceeds to step S111.

[0053] In step S204 of the elevator control device 23, the call management unit 29 receives a request from the movement control unit 25 to register a call for the moving body 15. The call management unit 29 transmits information about the received call to the control panel 12. The control panel 12 causes the car 10 carrying the moving body 15 to travel from the target floor to a destination floor, which is another floor, so as to respond to the call. When the car 10 arrives at the destination floor, the elevator control device 23 notifies the moving body control device 22. Thereafter, the processing of the elevator control device 23 proceeds to step S205.

[0054] In step S111 of the mobile body control device 22, the mobile control unit 25 causes the mobile body 15 to disembark from the car 10 that has arrived. Thereafter, the processing of the mobile body control device 22 related to the patrol of the target floor ends. Note that when the mobile body control device 22 causes the mobile body 15 to sequentially patrol a plurality of target floors, the mobile body control device 22 may proceed to the processing of step S106 and cause the mobile body 15 to patrol the next target floor. In this case, the mobile body control device 22 may proceed to the processing of step S101 and cause the mobile body 15 to wait until the start time of the patrol of the next target floor.

[0055] In step S205 of the elevator control device 23, the stop floor management unit 30 sets the target floor determined to have no resident as a non-stop floor. Thereafter, the processing of the elevator control device 23 related to patrolling the target floors ends. Note that when the mobile body control device 22 causes the mobile body 15 to sequentially patrol multiple target floors, the elevator control device 23 may proceed to the processing of step S203 and wait for the determination result of the determination unit 27 for the next target floor.

[0056] As described above, the management system 1 according to the first embodiment includes the car 10 of the elevator 3, the observation device 16 mounted on the moving object 15, and the management device 21. The car 10 of the elevator 3 transports people between multiple floors in the building 2. The observation device 16 mounted on the moving object 15 acquires observation information used to detect people within a detection range around the moving object 15. The management device 21 includes a detection unit 26, a movement control unit 25, a determination unit 27, and a stop floor management unit 30. The detection unit 26 detects people within the detection range of the moving object 15 based on the observation information acquired by the observation device 16. The movement control unit 25 designates one of the floors in the building 2 as a target floor and causes the moving object 15 to patrol the target floor. The determination unit 27 monitors whether the detection unit 26 detects a person while the moving object 15 is patrolling the target floor. When the detection unit 26 does not detect a person while patrolling the target floor, the determination unit 27 determines that no resident is present on the target floor. When the stop floor management unit 30 receives a determination result that no resident is present on the target floor from the determination unit 27, it sets the target floor as a non-stop floor where the car 10 will not stop.

[0057] With this configuration, the mobile object 15 that moves around the building 2 can patrol the target floor and confirm that there are no residents on the target floor, and then automatically set the target floor as a non-stop floor. This allows security guards and others in the building 2 to check for the presence of residents without having to make a direct visual check, thereby reducing the workload associated with guarding the building 2. In this way, the efficiency of management of the building 2 is further improved. Furthermore, for example, if the target floor is a commercial floor containing stores, the commercial floor is set as a non-stop floor after business hours for crime prevention purposes. At this time, the target floor is set as a non-stop floor only after confirming that there are no residents on the target floor, thereby reducing the occurrence of customers or other people being left behind on the target floor. Furthermore, because the presence or absence of residents is confirmed by the mobile object 15, the number of security guards or monitors 19 required to guard the building 2 can be reduced, which can resolve issues such as a shortage of security personnel.

[0058] Furthermore, the movement control unit 25 causes the mobile unit 15 to start patrolling the target floor based on a preset schedule. This eliminates the need for security personnel in the building 2 to start patrolling by the mobile unit 15. This further reduces the workload associated with guarding the building 2. Furthermore, because patrols are started automatically, it is less likely that patrols will be missed.

[0059] Furthermore, the car 10 transports the moving body 15 between multiple floors. When the stop floor management unit 30 receives a determination result from the determination unit 27 that no resident is present at the target floor, the stop floor management unit 30 sets the target floor as a non-stop floor after the car 10 responds to a call from the moving body 15 departing from the target floor. As a result, the moving body 15 departs from the target floor using the elevator 3 immediately before being set as a non-stop floor, so that the moving body 15 can be made to patrol multiple target floors sequentially using the elevator 3. This allows the moving body 15 to patrol multiple floors more efficiently. Note that the stop floor management unit 30 may set the target floor as a non-stop floor when the moving body 15 starts patrolling the target floor.

[0060] The observation device 16 also includes a camera that captures images as observation information, or a sensor that captures measurement information as observation information. This allows the detection unit 26 to detect people with higher accuracy. This allows the determination unit 27 to determine with higher accuracy whether or not there are residents on the target floor.

[0061] The observation device 16 also includes a wireless communication device that receives, as observation information, wireless signals transmitted from the mobile device 17 carried by the user 4. This allows the user 4 carrying the mobile device 17 to be detected even when the user is in the shadow of an object, allowing the determination unit 27 to determine with higher accuracy whether or not there is a resident on the target floor.

[0062] The management device 21 also includes a first communication unit 24. The first communication unit 24 outputs the determination result by the determination unit 27 as to whether or not there is a resident on the target floor to the monitoring terminal device 20 used by the monitor 19 in response to a request from the monitoring terminal device 20. This allows the monitor 19 to monitor the presence or absence of a resident on the target floor in real time from a remote location, etc. This reduces the workload associated with guarding the building 2.

[0063] The moving body 15 may be provided with an alarm device such as a speaker that emits sound. In this case, the moving body 15 may patrol the target floor while making an announcement to warn passengers that the target floor will become a non-stop floor after the patrol ends.

[0064] Furthermore, for example, there may be cases where building 2 has only two floors, a main floor having an entrance and a sub-floor. In this case, when receiving a determination result from determination unit 27 that there are no residents on the sub-floor, elevator control device 23 may suspend operation of elevator 3. Similarly, when building 2 has a main floor having an entrance and a plurality of other floors, elevator control device 23 may suspend operation of elevator 3 when receiving a determination result from determination unit 27 that there are no residents on any floors other than the main floor.

[0065] In addition, some or all of the functions of the management device 21 may be installed on the mobile body 15 or on devices of the elevator 3, such as the control panel 12. When multiple elevators 3 are used in a building 2, a group management device or the like may be installed in the building 2. In this case, some or all of the functions of the management device 21 may be installed on the group management device. Some or all of the functions of the management device 21 may be installed on an edge server or the like provided in the building 2. In addition, some or all of the functions of the mobile body control device 22, such as the movement control unit 25, the detection unit 26, and the determination unit 27, may be installed in the elevator control device 23. Some or all of the functions of the elevator control device 23, such as the call management unit 29 and the stop floor management unit 30, may be installed in the mobile body control device 22.

[0066] Next, an example of the hardware configuration of the management system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a hardware configuration diagram of the main part of the management system 1 according to the first embodiment.

[0067] Some or all of the functions of the management system 1 may be implemented by a processing circuit. The processing circuit includes at least one processor 100 a and at least one memory 100 b. The processing circuit may include at least one dedicated hardware in addition to or in place of the processor 100 a and the memory 100 b.

[0068] When the processing circuit includes a processor 100a and a memory 100b, each function of the management system 1 is realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware. At least one of the software and firmware is written as a program. The program is stored in the memory 100b. The processor 100a realizes each function of the management system 1 by reading and executing the program stored in the memory 100b. The program may be a program package including multiple subprograms, modules, libraries, or the like. The program may also be called a program product.

[0069] The processor 100a is also called a CPU (Central Processing Unit), processing device, arithmetic unit, microprocessor, microcomputer, or DSP. The memory 100b is configured by, for example, a non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as RAM, ROM, flash memory, EPROM, or EEPROM.

[0070] Where the processing circuitry comprises dedicated hardware, the processing circuitry may be implemented, for example, as a single circuit, multiple circuits, a programmed processor, parallel programmed processors, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof.

[0071] Each function of the management system 1 can be realized by a processing circuit. Alternatively, all functions of the management system 1 can be realized collectively by a processing circuit. Some of the functions of the management system 1 can be realized by dedicated hardware, and other parts can be realized by software or firmware. In this way, the processing circuit realizes each function of the management system 1 by dedicated hardware, software, firmware, or a combination of these.

[0072] Embodiment 2 In the second embodiment, differences from the example disclosed in the first embodiment will be described in particular detail. For features not described in the second embodiment, any of the features of the example disclosed in the first embodiment may be adopted.

[0073] FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of the management system 1 according to the second embodiment.

[0074] An access control system is applied to the building 2. The access control system is a system that manages the entry and exit of users 4 to and from areas in the building 2. The access control system manages, for example, the entry and exit of users 4 to and from each floor. The access control system includes an authentication device 31. The authentication device 31 is a device that authenticates users 4 who enter and exit areas in the building 2 based on authentication information read from the users 4. The authentication device 31 authenticates the users 4, for example, by reading an identifier of the users 4 from a mobile device 17 carried by the users 4. The authentication device 31 may authenticate the users 4, for example, by reading fingerprint data, vein data, iris data, facial image data, or other biometric information from the users 4. The authentication device 31 may authenticate the users 4, for example, by reading personal identification information such as a password entered by the users 4. In this example, the authentication device 31 is disposed at the entrances and exits of each floor. The entrances and exits of each floor are, for example, the elevator halls 6 of the elevators 3.

[0075] When the management device 21 causes the mobile object 15 to patrol the target floor, the management device 21 links the mobile object 15 with other devices or systems. When the management device 21 causes the mobile object 15 to patrol the target floor, the management device 21 uses other devices to monitor people entering and exiting the target floor.

[0076] The management device 21 may, for example, use a surveillance camera 18 to monitor people entering and exiting the target floor. In this example, the surveillance camera 18 is positioned so as to capture images of the entrances and exits of each floor. The surveillance camera 18 positioned at the entrances and exits of the target floor is an example of an entrance and exit camera. In this case, the detection unit 26 detects people entering and exiting the target floor through the entrances and exits by, for example, image recognition of the images captured by the surveillance camera 18.

[0077] The management device 21 may, for example, monitor people entering and exiting the target floor using the authentication device 31. For example, when the authentication device 31 authenticates a user 4, the first communication unit 24 receives a notification from the authentication device 31. When the authentication device 31 provided on the target floor authenticates the user 4, the detection unit 26 detects the user 4 as a person entering or exiting the target floor.

[0078] The management device 21 may, for example, monitor people entering and exiting the target floor using another mobile body 15 other than the mobile body 15 patrolling the target floor. The movement control unit 25 causes one of the mobile bodies 15 to patrol the target floor. Furthermore, while the mobile body 15 is patrolling, the movement control unit 25 causes the other mobile body 15 to wait at the entrance / exit of the target floor. The mobile body 15 patrolling the target floor is an example of a first mobile body. The mobile body 15 waiting at the entrance / exit of the target floor is an example of a second mobile body. The detection unit 26 detects people entering and exiting the target floor through the detection range of the mobile body 15 waiting at the entrance / exit, based on observation information acquired by the observation device 16 of the mobile body 15 waiting at the entrance / exit.

[0079] The management device 21 may monitor people entering and exiting the target floor using these other methods. The management device 21 may monitor people entering and exiting the target floor using a combination of multiple methods, or may monitor people entering and exiting the target floor using a single method.

[0080] While the mobile object 15 is patrolling the target floor, the determination unit 27 monitors whether the detection unit 26 detects a person within the detection range of the patrolling mobile object 15 and a person entering the target floor. Monitoring of people entering the target floor is performed, for example, using a surveillance camera 18, an authentication device 31, or another mobile object 15 waiting at an entrance / exit. The determination unit 27 determines that a resident is present on the target floor when the detection unit 26 detects at least one of a person within the detection range of the mobile object 15 patrolling the target floor and a person entering the target floor. On the other hand, the determination unit 27 determines that a resident is not present on the target floor when the detection unit 26 does not detect either a person within the detection range of the mobile object 15 patrolling the target floor or a person entering the target floor. This allows for more accurate determination of resident presence even when the patrolling mobile object 15 is far from the entrance / exit of the target floor, because entry and exit to the target floor are monitored by other devices.

[0081] When the detection unit 26 detects a person entering a target floor while the mobile unit 15 is patrolling the target floor, the movement control unit 25 may temporarily suspend the patrol of the target floor. At this time, the movement control unit 25 causes the patrolling mobile unit 15 to wait, for example, for a preset time. If the person entering the target floor is, for example, a user 4 who has come to retrieve something left behind, the user 4 will exit the target floor in a relatively short time. When the detection unit 26 detects the user 4 exiting the target floor while the mobile unit 15 is waiting after suspending patrol, the movement control unit 25 causes the mobile unit 15 to resume patrolling the target floor. At this time, the movement control unit 25 may consider the areas of the target floor that were checked before the suspension as already checked and may cause the mobile unit 15 to patrol the remaining areas without checking them again. Alternatively, the movement control unit 25 may cause the mobile unit 15 to patrol the entire target floor again, regardless of whether the areas were checked before the suspension. In this way, even if a person enters a target floor during patrol, patrol will resume after the person leaves the target floor, making security for building 2 more efficient.
