[Figure 9] This figure shows an example of a configuration that realizes the functions of the elevator system in Embodiment 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0009] Embodiments will be described below with reference to the drawings. Common or corresponding elements in each drawing are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions are simplified or omitted. The configurations shown in the embodiments below are examples of the technical ideas related to this disclosure and can be combined with other known technologies, or multiple technical ideas described in this disclosure can be combined. Furthermore, it is possible to omit or modify parts of the configuration without departing from the gist of this disclosure.

[0010] Embodiment 1. Figure 1 shows an elevator system 1 according to Embodiment 1. As shown in Figure 1, the elevator system 1 comprises an elevator control unit 2 that controls the operation of the elevator, a movement detection unit 3, a storage unit 4, a notification unit 5, and a communication control unit 6. The robot 7 is an autonomous mobile unit that can carry transported items such as parcels for delivery and ride in the elevator. The robot 7 comprises a data processing unit 8, a judgment processing unit 9, a communication control unit 10, a lifting detection unit 11, an acceleration sensor 12, a camera 13, a speaker 14, and a microphone 15.

[0011] The lifting detection unit 11 detects that the robot 7 has been lifted. The lifting detection unit 11 may detect that the robot 7 has been lifted based on the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor 12. When it is detected that the robot 7 has been lifted, the robot 7 may emit a specific fragrance.

[0012] The robot 7 is communicable with the robot server 16. The robot server 16 includes a robot control system 17 that controls the operation of the robot 7, a data processing unit 18, a determination processing unit 19, and a communication control unit 20. The robot server 16 may be configured by the cloud or on-premises.

[0013] The robot server 16 is communicable with the elevator system 1. The in-building system 21 is communicable with the robot server 16 and the elevator system 1. The in-building system 21 includes a data processing unit 22 and a notification unit 23. The notification unit 23 may include display on the display at the landing of each floor, signage display, and announcement.

[0014] The elevator system 1 is further communicable with the elevator information center 36 of the elevator company. The elevator information center 36 is in a building different from the elevator system 1. The elevator information center 36 has a data processing unit 37.

[0015] The movement detection unit 3 detects whether the robot 7 riding in the elevator car or the conveyance carried by the robot 7 has moved outside the car. The elevator system 1 receives information on the floor where the robot 7 is scheduled to get off from the robot server 16. The storage unit 4 stores information on the floor where the robot 7 is scheduled to get off.

[0016] If the robot 7 or the conveyed object moves outside the car on a floor other than the scheduled floor for getting off, it is considered that the robot 7 or the conveyed object has been stolen. When the movement detection unit 3 detects that the robot 7 or the conveyed object has moved outside the car on a floor other than the scheduled floor for getting off, the notification unit 5 estimates that a theft has occurred and issues a warning around the elevator car. When issuing a warning, the notification unit 5 may sound a buzzer or play an announcement. Also, the fact that a theft has occurred may be displayed on a display or a sign in the building. Thereby, it becomes possible to suppress the theft of the robot 7 or the conveyed object.

[0017] The movement detection unit 3 may detect the theft of the robot 7 or the conveyed object based on an image captured by the camera 24 that captures the inside of the car. That is, if the robot 7 or the conveyed object appears in the image captured by the camera 24, it may be determined that the robot 7 or the conveyed object is inside the car, and if the robot 7 or the conveyed object does not appear in the image, it may be determined that the robot 7 or the conveyed object has moved outside the car. The camera 24 may be an AI camera. It may be determined whether a person appearing in the image captured by the camera 24, that is, a passenger inside the car, is a resident of the condominium or a different person. Also, it may be determined whether a person appearing in the image captured by the camera 24, that is, a passenger inside the car, is in contact with the robot 7.

[0018] The movement detection unit 3 may detect the theft of the robot 7 or the conveyed object based on an image captured by the camera 25 that captures the elevator landing. That is, if the robot 7 or the conveyed object appears in the image captured by the camera 25 that captures the landing at the scheduled floor for getting off, it may be determined that no theft has occurred, and if the robot 7 or the conveyed object appears in the image captured by the camera 25 that captures the landing on a floor other than the scheduled floor for getting off, it may be determined that a theft has occurred. The camera 25 may be an AI camera.

[0019] The movement detection unit 3 may also detect whether the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the cage based on information detected by the cage weighing device 26, which detects the load inside the cage. In other words, if the cage weighing device 26 detects that the weight corresponding to the robot 7 or the transported object has decreased, it may be determined that the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the cage.

[0020] The movement detection unit 3 may detect the theft of robot 7 or the transported object based on information detected by the scent sensor 27, which detects the scent emitted by robot 7. If robot 7 is lifted, it is highly likely that robot 7 has been stolen. Robot 7 is configured to emit a specific scent when lifted. By installing a scent sensor 27 that detects this scent inside the cage, it becomes possible to detect that robot 7 has been lifted, i.e., that robot 7 has been stolen.

[0021] The movement detection unit 3 may also detect whether the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the elevator car based on information detected by a piezo sensor 28 installed on the floor at the entrance / exit of the elevator car. When the robot 7 gets on or off the car, the piezo sensor 28 detects the pressure on the robot 7's wheels. The movement detection unit 3 determines whether the piezo sensor 28 detected the robot 7's wheels at the floor where the robot 7 was scheduled to disembark. If the piezo sensor 28 detected the robot 7's wheels at the floor where the robot 7 was scheduled to disembark, it can be assumed that the robot 7 disembarked at the scheduled floor, and therefore it can be determined that no theft occurred. On the other hand, if the piezo sensor 28 detected the robot 7's wheels on a floor other than the scheduled disembarkation floor, it can be determined that the robot 7 was stolen.

[0022] The movement detection unit 3 may detect whether the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the elevator car based on information detected by a photoelectric sensor 29 installed at the entrance / exit of the elevator car. The photoelectric sensor 29 may also be installed on the elevator door. The movement detection unit 3 uses a technology that visualizes objects passing through the photoelectric sensor 29. The movement detection unit 3 determines whether the robot 7 is included in the objects that passed through the photoelectric sensor 29 at the planned disembarking floor. If the robot 7 is not included in the objects that passed through the photoelectric sensor 29 at the planned disembarking floor, it may be determined that the robot 7 has been stolen.

[0023] The elevator's ascent / descent distance can be determined by integrating the vertical acceleration detected by the robot's acceleration sensor 12 twice over time. Based on the ascent / descent distance detected by the acceleration sensor 12, the robot can detect the disembarking floor. If the floor the robot disembarks at does not match the intended disembarking floor, the robot may determine that it has been stolen and issue a warning.

[0024] The movement detection unit 3 may also detect whether the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the cage based on information detected by the ultrasonic sensor 30, which detects the ultrasonic waves emitted by the robot 7. The robot 7 continues to emit ultrasonic waves while inside the cage. The movement detection unit 3 detects that the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the cage when the ultrasonic sensor 30 stops detecting ultrasonic waves. If the ultrasonic sensor 30 stops detecting ultrasonic waves on a floor other than the scheduled disembarking floor, the unit may determine that the robot 7 has been stolen.

[0025] The movement detection unit 3 may also detect whether the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the elevator car based on information detected by the air quality sensor 31 installed inside the elevator car. The car fan 33 generates airflow inside the car. The airflow direction will be different when the robot 7 is present compared to when it is not. The air quality sensor 31 can measure airflow. By installing multiple air quality sensors 31, it is possible to estimate the airflow direction. The movement detection unit 3 can detect whether the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the car by detecting the difference between the airflow direction when the robot 7 is present and when it is not using the air quality sensor 31.

[0026] The movement detection unit 3 may detect whether the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the elevator car based on information detected by an infrared sensor 32 installed inside the elevator car. The infrared sensor 32 may be capable of detecting thermal images inside the car. By using these thermal images to detect whether the robot 7 is inside the car, it is possible to detect whether the robot 7 or the transported object has moved outside the car.

[0027] The elevator car is further equipped with a microphone 34 and a speaker 35.

[0028] The movement detection unit 3 may detect the theft of the robot 7 or the transported object based on the communication status between the robot 7 and the robot server 16. For example, it may be determined that the robot 7 has been stolen if the robot 7 loses the ability to communicate with the robot server 16. If the robot 7 loses the ability to communicate with the robot server 16, it is assumed that the robot 7 has already been taken outside the building.

[0029] If robot 7 loses communication with robot server 16, the following information may be obtained to help locate robot 7. • Start recording the location information of robot 7. • The microphone 15 on robot 7 detects ambient sound information. • The robot detects its location from the relative location information of surrounding smartphones.

[0030] If the surrounding sound information changes suddenly, for example, if sounds that would not normally be heard inside the car or inside a building, such as the sound of an ambulance or a train, are heard, theft may be determined.

[0031] Figure 2 is a flowchart showing the control operation in Embodiment 1. In step S1 of Figure 2, a call registration is performed from the robot server 16 to the elevator system 1. This registers the floor where the robot 7 is scheduled to disembark and stores it in the memory unit 4. Next, in step S2, each sensor determines whether the robot 7 has boarded the elevator car. If it is determined that the robot 7 is not in the car, in step S3, a determination is made by the camera 25 that images the landing. If the camera 25 determines that the robot 7 has boarded the car, the process proceeds to step S4. On the other hand, if the camera 25 determines that the robot 7 has been stolen, the process proceeds to step S10, and theft is presumed.

[0032] In step S4, each sensor recognizes that robot 7 has boarded the elevator. Next, in step S5, the elevator arrives at the registered floor. Then, in step S6, it is determined whether this is the floor where robot 7 is scheduled to disembark. If it is not the floor where robot 7 is scheduled to disembark, in step S7, the sensors in (1) determine whether robot 7 is inside the elevator car.

[0033] Figure 3 is a flowchart showing the determination made by the sensor in (1). In the determination in (1), first, in step S12, a determination is made based on the image from the camera 24 that captures images inside the cage. If it is determined in step S12 that the robot 7 is not inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S10, and theft is presumed.

[0034] If it is determined in step S12 that there is a robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S13, where a determination is made based on the value of the cage weighing device 26. If the value of the cage weighing device 26 changes in step S13 and it is determined that there is no robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S10, where theft is presumed.

[0035] If it is determined in step S13 that robot 7 is inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S14, where a determination is made by the piezo sensor 28. If the piezo sensor 28 determines that robot 7 is not inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S10, where theft is presumed.

[0036] If it is determined in step S14 that robot 7 is inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S15, where a determination is made by the photoelectric sensor 29. If the determination by the photoelectric sensor 29 is that robot 7 is not inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S10, where theft is presumed.

[0037] If it is determined in step S15 that there is a robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S16, where the ultrasonic sensor 30 performs a determination. If the ultrasonic sensor 30 determines that there is no robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S10, where theft is presumed.

[0038] If it is determined in step S16 that robot 7 is inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S17, where the air quality sensor 31 makes a determination. If the air quality sensor 31 determines that robot 7 is not inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S10, where theft is presumed.

[0039] If it is determined in step S17 that robot 7 is inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S18, where a determination is made by the infrared sensor 32. If the determination by the infrared sensor 32 is that robot 7 is not inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S10, where theft is presumed.

[0040] If it is determined in step S18 that robot 7 is inside the cage, the process returns to step S5 in Figure 2 and waits until the next arrival floor.

[0041] In step S6, if it is the floor where robot 7 is scheduled to disembark, then in step S8, the sensor in (2) determines whether robot 7 has disembarked.

[0042] Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the determination made by the sensor in (2). In the determination in (2), first, in step S19, a determination is made based on the image from the camera 24 that captures images inside the elevator car. If it is determined in step S19 that there is a robot 7 inside the elevator car, there is an error that the robot 7, which should have disembarked at the scheduled disembarking floor, has not disembarked. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S11, where a system error is suspected and an error determination is made.

[0043] If it is determined in step S19 that there is no robot 7 in the cage, the process proceeds to step S20, where a determination is made based on the value of the cage weighing device 26. If the value of the cage weighing device 26 does not change in step S20 and it is determined that there is a robot 7 in the cage, the process proceeds to step S11, where a system error is suspected and an error determination is made.

[0044] In step S20, if the value of the cage weighing device 26 changes and it is determined that there is no robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S21, where a determination is made by the piezo sensor 28. In step S21, if the piezo sensor 28 does not react and it is determined that there is a robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S11, where a system error is suspected and an error determination is made.

[0045] If it is determined in step S21 that there is no robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S22, where a determination is made using the photoelectric sensor 29. If, in step S22, the photoelectric sensor 29 determines that robot 7 has not passed through the cage and that robot 7 is inside, the process proceeds to step S11, where a system error is suspected and an error determination is made.

[0046] In step S22, if the photoelectric sensor 29 determines that the robot 7 has passed and that the robot 7 is not inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S23, where the ultrasonic sensor 30 makes a determination. In step S23, if it determines that the robot 7 is inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S11, where a system error is suspected and an error determination is made.

[0047] If it is determined in step S23 that there is no robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S24, where the air quality sensor 31 makes a determination. If it is determined in step S24 that there is a robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S11, where a system error is suspected and an error determination is made.

[0048] If it is determined in step S24 that there is no robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S25, where a determination is made using the infrared sensor 32. If it is determined in step S25 that there is a robot 7 inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S11, where a system error is suspected and an error determination is made.

[0049] If it is determined in step S25 that robot 7 is not inside the elevator car, the process proceeds to step S9 in Figure 2, where it is determined whether robot 7 was detected by camera 25 at the landing of robot 7's disembarking floor. If robot 7 is detected by camera 25 at the landing of robot 7's disembarking floor, the process in this flowchart ends. If robot 7 is not detected by camera 25 at the landing of robot 7's disembarking floor, the process proceeds to step S10, where theft is presumed.

[0050] Figure 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the process after it is suspected that robot 7 has been stolen. In this flowchart, first, in step S26, it is determined whether it is suspected that the robot has been stolen. If it is suspected that the robot has been stolen in step S26, the process proceeds to step S27, in which an alarm sound is emitted from the elevator. This alarm sound may be a buzzer sound or an announcement.

[0051] Next, in step S28, it is determined whether to perform special operations. Special operations include sudden stops, stopping at each floor, stopping without opening the doors and returning to the entrance floor, etc. If special operations are to be performed, the process proceeds to step S29, where the special operations are carried out.

[0052] Next, in step S30, it is determined whether or not to notify that a theft has occurred. If it is decided to notify that a theft has occurred, the process proceeds to step S31, where a notification is sent to a display or signage within the building, or to the elevator information center 36.

[0053] Figure 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the process for determining theft inside an elevator. In step S32 of Figure 6, the lift detection unit 11 of the robot 7 determines whether the robot 7 has been lifted. If the robot 7 has been lifted, the process proceeds to step S33, where the robot 7 emits a specific scent. Next, in step S34, it is determined whether the scent sensor 27 was able to detect the scent emitted by the robot 7. If the scent sensor 27 was able to detect the scent emitted by the robot 7, the process proceeds to step S35, where theft is presumed.

[0054] Figure 7 is a flowchart showing an example of a process that generates a warning sound when robot 7 disembarks on a floor other than the scheduled disembarkation floor. In this flowchart, first, in step S36, the acceleration sensor 12 of robot 7 determines whether it is on a floor other than the scheduled disembarkation floor. If it is not on a floor other than the scheduled disembarkation floor, i.e., it is on the scheduled disembarkation floor, the process proceeds to step S39 and the process of this flowchart ends. If it is determined in step S36 that it is on a floor other than the scheduled disembarkation floor, the sensors determine whether robot 7 has disembarked, i.e., whether robot 7 has been taken out of the elevator car. If it is determined that robot 7 has disembarked on a floor other than the scheduled disembarkation floor, a warning sound is generated.

[0055] Figure 8 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the process for determining theft based on the communication status between robot 7 and robot server 16. In step S40 of Figure 8, it is first determined whether each sensor has determined that robot 7 is not inside the cage. If each sensor has determined that robot 7 is not inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S41, and the process in this flowchart is completed.

[0056] If, in step S40, each sensor determines that the robot 7 is not inside the cage, the process proceeds to step S42, and theft is presumed. Next, in step S43, it is determined whether communication between the robot 7 and the robot server 16 has been interrupted. If communication between the robot 7 and the robot server 16 has not been interrupted, the process proceeds to step S41, and the process of this flowchart ends. If communication between the robot 7 and the robot server 16 has been interrupted, the process proceeds to step S44, and the robot 7 begins recording its location information. Subsequently, in step S45, recording begins using the microphone 15 of the robot 7.

[0057] Figure 9 is a diagram showing an example of a configuration that realizes the functions of the elevator system 1 in Embodiment 1. Each function of the elevator system 1 is realized, for example, by a processing circuit. The processing circuit may be dedicated hardware 600. The processing circuit may include a processor 601 and a memory 602. A part of the processing circuit may be formed as dedicated hardware 600, and the processing circuit may further include a processor 601 and a memory 602. In the example shown in Figure 9, a part of the processing circuit is formed as dedicated hardware 600. Also, in the example shown in Figure 9, the processing circuit further includes a processor 601 and a memory 602 in addition to the dedicated hardware 600.

[0058] Processing circuits that consist of at least one dedicated hardware 600 include, for example, single circuits, composite circuits, programmed processors, parallel programmed processors, ASICs, FPGAs, or combinations thereof.

[0059] If the processing circuit comprises at least one processor 601 and at least one memory 602, the functions of each part of the elevator system 1 are realized by software, firmware, or a combination of software and firmware.

[0060] Software and firmware are written as programs and stored in memory 602. The programs may also be recorded on a computer-readable recording medium. The processor 601 realizes the functions of each part by reading and executing the programs stored in memory 602. The processor 601 is also called a CPU (Central Processing Unit), central processing unit, processing unit, arithmetic unit, microprocessor, microcomputer, or DSP. Examples of memory 602 include non-volatile or volatile semiconductor memory such as RAM, ROM, flash memory, EPROM, and EEPROM, or magnetic disks, flexible disks, optical disks, compact disks, minidiscs, and DVDs.

[0061] Thus, the processing circuit can realize the functions of elevator system 1 through hardware, software, firmware, or a combination thereof. Note that each function of elevator system 1 may be realized by the cooperation of multiple devices, or by a single device. Furthermore, at least some of the functions of elevator system 1 may be implemented on a server or the like on an external network.
