Abstract

To provide an elevator management device, a management method, a management program, and an elevator system that can check the state inside an elevator car even if a camera is not provided in the elevator car. [Solution] The elevator system 1 includes a management device 14. The management device 14 includes an acquisition unit 16 and a generation unit 17. The acquisition unit 16 acquires multiple planar images of the interior of the car 6 taken by a mobile device 10 carried by a user. The generation unit 17 combines the multiple planar images of the interior of the car 6 acquired by the acquisition unit 16 to generate a 3D image of the interior of the car 6.

Claims

1. An acquisition unit that acquires multiple planar images of the inside of the basket taken by each of the users' portable devices, A generation unit generates a three-dimensional image of the inside of the cage by combining multiple planar images of the inside of the cage acquired by the acquisition unit, An elevator management device equipped with the following features.

2. The acquisition unit presents an interface to the portable device that has read the encoded image provided in the elevator having the car, providing a planar image of the inside of the car, and acquires the planar image of the inside of the car from the portable device through the interface. The elevator management device according to claim 1.

3. In the three-dimensional image of the interior of the aforementioned cage, a specific part identifies the area where a planar image to be combined is needed. Equipped with, The acquisition unit presents an interface to the portable device that provides a planar image of the inside of the basket, and acquires the planar image of the inside of the basket from the portable device through the interface. The interface includes information indicating the location in the three-dimensional image of the inside of the cage identified by the specific unit where a planar image needs to be combined. The elevator management device according to claim 1.

4. The acquisition unit acquires a planar image of the inside of the basket along with information about the position of the portable device at the time the planar image was captured. The generation unit, when the position of the basket and the position of the portable device when a planar image of the inside of the basket is captured do not match, will not use the planar image to generate a three-dimensional image of the inside of the basket. An elevator management device according to any one of claims 1 to 3.

5. The issuing unit issues a reward to the user among the multiple users who took a picture of the planar image inside the basket that the generation unit used to generate the three-dimensional image inside the basket.
