[0010] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, common elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant descriptions are omitted.

[0011] 1. Embodiment 1. 1-1. Outline of the mirror-type monitor device FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an outline of an elevator to which the mirror-type monitor device according to Embodiment 1 is applied. FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the outline of the mirror-type monitor device according to Embodiment 1. The mirror-type monitor device 10 according to Embodiment 1 is installed in the elevator 100. The elevator 100 is installed in a facility such as a building having a plurality of floors.

[0012] In the facility, a hoistway 3 of the elevator 100 is provided. The hoistway 3 is a vertically long space extending over a plurality of floors. On each floor of the facility, a landing 4 of the elevator 100 is provided. The landing 4 is a place adjacent to the hoistway 3.

[0013] The elevator 100 includes a car 1 and a control panel 6. The car 1 is a device that transports users riding inside between a plurality of floors by traveling up and down in the hoistway 3. The car 1 includes a car door 2. The car door 2 is a device that opens and closes in conjunction with the landing door of the landing 4 on the corresponding floor so that users can board and alight at the landing 4 on the corresponding floor and in the car 1 when the car 1 stops at any floor. Next to the car door 2 inside the car 1, a car inner operation panel 8 for performing the opening and closing operation of the car door 2 and registering the destination floor is installed. The operation information of the car inner operation panel 8 is sent to the control panel 6.

[0014] The control panel 6 is a device that controls the operation of the elevator 100. The operations of the elevator 100 controlled by the control panel 6 include, for example, opening and closing of doors, management of registered calls, and traveling of the car 1 in response to calls.

[0015] The mirror-type monitor device 10 according to Embodiment 1 includes an in-car camera 12, a mirror-type monitor 14, and a control device 20. The mirror-type monitor 14 is a monitor that can switch between a mirror state that functions as a mirror and a monitor state that functions as a display device for displaying an image. The mirror-type monitor 14 is disposed on a side surface 1a facing the car door 2.

[0016] The in-car camera 12 is a camera for imaging a user inside the car. The in-car camera 12 can image a user operating the in-car operation panel 8 inside the car from the back side, and can also image a user facing the direction of the mirror-type monitor 14 from the front side. For example, it is disposed at a position above the mirror-type monitor 14 on the side surface 1a. The image of the user captured by the in-car camera 12 is hereinafter referred to as the "user image".

[0017] The control device 20 is a computer for controlling the operations of the in-car camera 12 and the mirror-type monitor 14. The control panel 6 transmits the operation information and sensor information of the elevator 100 to the control device 20 at any time. The operation information here includes the operation information of the in-car operation panel 8, the opening and closing of the doors of the elevator 100, the registered calls, and the information of the car 1 responding to the calls. The sensor information includes the measurement information of a scale for measuring the weight inside the car 1, the detection information of a door sensor for detecting the boarding and alighting of users on the car 1, and the like. The control device 20 images a user image with the in-car camera 12 when a predetermined imaging condition is satisfied. This process is hereinafter referred to as the "imaging process". The imaging conditions include, for example, that the in-car operation panel 8 has been operated by a user and that there is one user inside the car 1. According to such imaging conditions, the in-car camera 12 images a rear image of the user alone as the user image. The captured user image is sent from the in-car camera 12 to the control device 20.

[0018] The control device 20 normally controls the state of the mirror-type monitor 14 to the mirror state. When predetermined display conditions are met, the control device 20 switches the state of the mirror-type monitor 14 from the mirror state to the monitor state and displays the user image on the mirror-type monitor 14. This process is hereinafter referred to as the "user image display process". The display conditions include, for example, that the user inside the car 1 is facing the mirror-type monitor 14. With such display conditions, it is possible to provide a back view image of the user only to users who intend to use the full-length mirror.

[0019] In the example shown in Figure 2, a user facing the mirror-type monitor 14 is provided with a user image PIC1 of their back through the mirror-type monitor 14. By controlling the mirror-type monitor device 10 in this way, an additional service can be provided to users who use the mirror inside the basket 1 to check their full length, by providing them with an image of their back.

[0020] 1-2. Configuration of the mirror-type monitor device 10 Figure 3 is a block diagram showing an example configuration of the mirror-type monitor device 10. The mirror-type monitor device 10 comprises, as described above, an in-car camera 12, a mirror-type monitor 14, and a control device 20. The control device 20 has the functions of a processing unit as a computer. Typically, the control device 20 comprises at least one processor 200 and at least one memory 210 coupled to the processor 200. The memory 210 stores at least one program 220 that can be executed by the processor 200 and various data 230 associated with it.

[0021] The processor 200 executes the program 220, thereby enabling various processes performed by the processor 200. Figure 4 is a functional block diagram showing the functions realized by the processor 200 of the control device 20 executing the program 220. As shown in Figure 4, the processor 200 includes an imaging unit 201, an imaging condition determination unit 202, a user image display unit 203, and a display condition determination unit 204.

[0022] The imaging unit 201 is a functional block for performing imaging processing. The imaging condition determination unit 202 is a functional block for determining whether the conditions for performing imaging processing by the imaging unit 201 are met. The user image display unit 203 is a functional block for performing user image display processing. The display condition determination unit 204 is a functional block for determining whether the conditions for performing user image display processing by the user image display unit 203 are met. The processing performed in each functional block of the processor 200 will be described in detail below with reference to the flowchart.

[0023] 1-3. Specific processes performed in the mirror-type monitor device 10 Figure 5 is a flowchart of the routine executed in the mirror-type monitoring device 10. The routine shown in Figure 5 is repeatedly executed in the processor 200 of the control device 20 at a predetermined control cycle during the period when the elevator 100 is in operation.

[0024] The processes in steps S100 and S102 correspond to the processes executed in the imaging condition determination unit 202. In step S100, it is determined whether there is one passenger inside the car 1. Here, the control device 20 determines whether there is one passenger inside the car 1 based on the measurement information of the scale included in the sensor information received from the control panel 6. Alternatively, the control device 20 determines whether there is one passenger entering the car 1 based on the detection information of the door sensor. Alternatively, the control device 20 determines whether there is one passenger inside the car 1 by analyzing the image captured by the car camera 12 using a known image analysis method.

[0025] If the result of step S100 does not result in a successful determination, the processing of this routine is terminated. If the determination is successful, the process proceeds to step S102. In step S102, it is determined whether the user operated the in-car control panel 8 based on the received operation information. If the result of the determination is successful, the process proceeds to step S104. If the determination is not successful, the processing of this routine is terminated.

[0026] The process in step S104 corresponds to the imaging process performed by the imaging unit 201. In step S104, the back of the user operating the in-car control panel 8 is captured by the in-car camera 12 and temporarily stored as the user image PIC1 in the data 230 area of ​​the memory 210. Once the process in step S104 is completed, the process proceeds to step S106.

[0027] The process in step S106 corresponds to the process executed by the display condition determination unit 204. In step S106, it is determined whether the user inside the elevator car 1 is facing the mirror-type monitor 14. Here, the control device 20 determines whether the user inside the elevator car 1 is facing the mirror-type monitor 14 by performing image analysis on the image inside the elevator car captured by, for example, the elevator car camera 12. If the determination is not met, the process proceeds to step S110; if the determination is met, the process proceeds to step S108.

[0028] The process in step S108 corresponds to the user image display process executed by the user image display unit 203. In step S108, the mirror-type monitor 14 is switched from mirror state to monitor state, and the user image PIC1 stored in memory 210 is read and displayed on the mirror-type monitor 14. Once the process in step S108 is completed, the process proceeds to step S110.

[0029] In step S110, based on the operation information received from the control panel 6, it is determined whether the elevator 100 has arrived at the destination floor registered by the user, or whether it has stopped at an intermediate floor before arriving at the destination floor due to a call registered by another user. If the determination is not met, the process returns to step S106. If the determination is met, the process proceeds to step S112.

[0030] In step S112, the display of the user image PIC1 on the mirror-type monitor 14 ends, and the mirror-type monitor 14 switches from monitor mode to mirror mode.

[0031] As described above, the mirror-type monitor device 10 can display an image of the user's back to users who use the mirror inside the basket 1 as a full-length mirror. This allows users to check the appearance of their back.

[0032] Furthermore, if there is only one user in the elevator car 1, the user's image will be displayed, allowing the user to check their appearance without worrying about being seen by others. In addition, if the elevator 100 stops at the destination floor or an intermediate floor, the display of the user's image will end, preventing the display of that user's image to other users.

[0033] 1-4. Variations The mirror-type monitor device 10 of Embodiment 1 may also be modified as follows.

[0034] In the routine of the flowchart in Figure 5, the processing in step S106 is not mandatory. That is, the user image may be displayed regardless of the user's orientation inside the cart 1. In this case, the user may be notified that their image will be displayed by a notification means such as audio.

[0035] The mirror-type monitor device 10 may display a user image taken from the front of the user, in addition to the user image taken from the back of the user, on the mirror-type monitor 14. Figure 6 is a diagram illustrating an overview of a modified example of the mirror-type monitor device according to Embodiment 1. In the example shown in this figure, a user image PIC2 of the front of the user is displayed next to the user image PIC1 of the back of the user displayed on the mirror-type monitor 14. Such control can be performed, for example, in the routine of the flowchart in Figure 5, if the determination in step S106 is found to be true, the user facing the mirror-type monitor 14 is captured by the in-car camera 12 and temporarily stored as user image PIC2 in the data 230 area of ​​the memory 210. Then, in the user image display processing of the next step S108, the user image PIC1 and user image PIC2 stored in the memory 210 can be read and displayed side by side on the mirror-type monitor 14. With such control, the user in the car 1 can check their appearance not only from the back but also from the front. Note that in the user image display processing, only the user image PIC2 of the front of the user may be displayed.

[0036] It is conceivable that a user whose user image has been displayed may wish to end the display. Therefore, the mirror-type monitor device 10 may be equipped with a cancel button for the user to cancel the display resulting from the user image display processing. Such a cancel button may be provided, for example, on the in-car control panel 8, or the mirror-type monitor 14 may be equipped with an input function such as a touch panel and the cancel button may be displayed on the mirror-type monitor 14.

[0037] Figure 7 shows a modified example of the hardware resources of the control device 20. In the example shown in Figure 7, the control device 20 includes, for example, a processor 200, memory 210, and a processing circuit 250 including dedicated hardware 240. Figure 7 shows an example in which some of the functions of the control device 20 are realized by the dedicated hardware 240. All of the functions of the control device 20 may also be realized by the dedicated hardware 240. The dedicated hardware 240 can be a single circuit, a composite circuit, a programmed processor, a parallel programmed processor, an ASIC, an FPGA, or a combination thereof.

[0038] The mirror-type monitor device 10 may also have a function to display past images of the user. Such a function involves, for example, assigning an identification ID to the user image using known facial recognition technology before storing the user image in the memory 210. Then, in the user image display process, the mirror-type monitor device 10 reads out user images with an identification ID that is common to the identification ID of the current user image and displays them together with the current user image as past images. Through such processing, the user can visually compare their past and present appearance.

[0039] 2. Embodiment 2. 2-1. Configuration of the mirror-type monitor device according to Embodiment 2 Figure 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mirror-type monitor device according to Embodiment 2. Figure 9 is a functional block diagram showing the functions realized by the processor of the control device according to Embodiment 2 executing a program. Figure 10 is a diagram illustrating the overview of the mirror-type monitor device according to Embodiment 2. As shown in Figure 9, the mirror-type monitor device 10 of Embodiment 2 of the control device 20 according to Embodiment 2 is connected to a communication network such as the Internet or a telephone network so that it can receive clothing information from an external service 30. The external service 30 is, for example, an external service that provides product information related to fashion. The mirror-type monitor device 10 according to Embodiment 2 has a configuration common to the mirror-type monitor device 10 according to Embodiment 1, except that it is connected to the external service 30. The configuration common to the mirror-type monitor device 10 according to Embodiment 1 will not be explained.

[0040] As shown in Figure 9, the processor 200 further includes an information acquisition unit 205 and a costume change image generation unit 206, in addition to the functional blocks provided by the processor 200 of Embodiment 1.

[0041] The information acquisition unit 205 is responsible for acquiring product information about clothing items from the external service 30. This process is hereinafter referred to as the "product information acquisition process." The product information here includes, for example, an image of the clothing item and product description information that can identify the clothing item. The product description information includes a description of the clothing item, its price, and information about retailers. The product information acquired by the information acquisition unit 205 is temporarily stored in the data area 230 of the memory 210.

[0042] The customizable image generation unit 206 is the part that generates a customizable image of the user image using the product information acquired by the information acquisition unit 205. The customizable image generation unit 206 generates a customizable image by combining an image of product information with the user image using known image processing techniques. This process is hereinafter referred to as the "customizable image generation process". The customizable image generated by the customizable image generation process is displayed on the mirror-type monitor device 10 by the user image display process. In addition to the customizable image, product information is also displayed in the user image display process. In the example shown in Figure 10, the displayed image includes a customizable image PIC3 in which an image of product information is combined with the user image in the front, and product information INF. Product information INF includes detailed product information and retailer information.

[0043] Thus, with the processing performed by the mirror-type monitor device 10 according to Embodiment 2, users can refer to images of themselves wearing the clothes, allowing them to grasp what it would look like to wear the product without actually trying it on. In addition, product information is displayed along with the composite image, so users can obtain the information necessary for making a purchase.

[0044] 2-2. Specific processes performed in the mirror-type monitor device 10 according to Embodiment 2 Figure 11 is a flowchart of the routine executed in the mirror-type monitor device 10 according to Embodiment 2. The routine shown in Figure 11 is repeatedly executed in the processor 200 of the control device 20 at a predetermined control cycle during the period when the elevator 100 is in operation.

[0045] The processes in steps S200 and S202 correspond to the processes executed in the imaging condition determination unit 202. In step S200, it is determined whether there is one passenger inside the car 1. Here, the same process as in step S100 of the routine shown in Figure 5 is executed.

[0046] If the result of step S200 does not result in a successful determination, the processing of this routine is terminated. If the determination is successful, the process proceeds to step S202. In step S202, it is determined whether the user inside the elevator car 1 is facing the mirror-type monitor 14. Here, the control device 20 determines whether the user inside the elevator car 1 is facing the mirror-type monitor 14 by performing image analysis on the image inside the elevator car captured by, for example, the elevator car camera 12. If the result does not result in a successful determination, the processing of this routine is terminated. If the determination is successful, the process proceeds to step S204.

[0047] The processing in step S204 corresponds to the imaging process performed by the imaging unit 201. In step S204, the front of the user facing the mirror-type monitor 14 is captured by the in-car camera 12 and temporarily stored as the user image PIC2 in the data 230 area of ​​the memory 210. Once the processing in step S204 is completed, the process proceeds to step S206.

[0048] The process in step S206 corresponds to the product information acquisition process executed by the information acquisition unit 205. In step S206, product information related to fashion is acquired from the external service 30. The information acquisition unit 205 estimates the gender and age of the user in the shopping cart 1 by performing image analysis on the user image PIC2 captured in the process of step S204, and acquires product information related to fashion that matches the estimated gender and age. Once the process in step S206 is completed, the process proceeds to step S208.

[0049] The process in step S208 corresponds to the creation of a customizable image performed by the customizable image generation unit 206. In step S208, the customizable image PIC3 of the user image is generated using the product information acquired by the information acquisition unit 205. The generated customizable image PIC3 is temporarily stored in the data 230 area of ​​the memory 210. Once the process in step S208 is completed, the process proceeds to step S210.

[0050] Step S210 corresponds to the user image display processing performed by the user image display unit 203. In step S210, the mirror-type monitor 14 is switched from mirror state to monitor state, and the customization image PIC3 stored in memory 210 is read and displayed on the mirror-type monitor 14. Once the processing in step S210 is completed, the process proceeds to step S212.

[0051] In step S212, based on the operation information received from the control panel 6, it is determined whether the elevator 100 has arrived at the destination floor registered by the user, or whether it has stopped at an intermediate floor before arriving at the destination floor due to a call registered by another user. If the determination is not found to be true, the process in step S212 is repeated until the determination is found to be true. If the determination in step S212 is found to be true, the process proceeds to step S214.

[0052] In step S214, the display of the custom image PIC3 on the mirror-type monitor 14 ends, and the mirror-type monitor 14 switches from monitor mode to mirror mode.

[0053] 2-3. Variations The mirror-type monitor device 10 of Embodiment 2 may also be modified as follows.

[0054] In the process of step S210 of the flowchart in Figure 10, the content of the product information INF displayed on the mirror monitor 14 is not limited. That is, the product information may be, for example, an encrypted, readable two-dimensional barcode, or a URL related to the product.

[0055] In the costume image generation process at step S208 of the flowchart in Figure 10, the generated costume image is not limited to an image of the user's front, but may also be an image of their back. When generating a costume image of the back, if the determination in step S200 is successful, the process at steps S102 and S104 shown in Figure 5 is executed to capture an image of the user's back, and the captured back image can then be used in the costume image generation process.
