Elevator Hall Call Registration with Destination Modification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional hall call registration apparatuses for elevators in buildings with security gates require users to manually register new destination floor calls when their initial registered destination differs, leading to inefficient operation due to useless automatic call registrations.
Innovation Solution
A hall call registration apparatus that includes a personal authentication device for user verification, a main body for destination floor call registration based on unique user IDs, and a destination floor changing device allowing users to change or cancel their registered destination floor calls.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If automatic destination floor call registration is performed based on security gate verification information, then user convenience is improved, but operational efficiency deteriorates due to useless call registrations
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by automatically registering destination floor calls based on security gate verification information before the user actually enters the elevator. However, it adds a verification step where the registered destination is displayed and user confirmation is required, preventing useless registrations while maintaining convenience.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements feedback by displaying the automatically registered destination floor to the user and requiring confirmation. This feedback loop allows the system to correct potential errors where the automatic registration might not match the user's actual destination, thereby eliminating useless call registrations while preserving user convenience.
2Ease of operation
If automatic destination floor call registration is performed based on security gate verification information, then registration process is simplified, but call accuracy deteriorates when user destination changes
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary automatic registration based on security gate verification information, simplifying the registration process. Then it displays the registered destination for user confirmation, allowing correction if the destination changes, thus maintaining both simplicity and accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The system provides feedback by displaying the automatically registered destination to the user and requiring confirmation or correction. This ensures that even though automatic registration simplifies the process, the final call accuracy is maintained by verifying the destination matches the user's actual needs.
3Device complexity
If destination floor call registration cannot be modified after automatic registration, then system complexity is reduced, but user flexibility deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary automatic registration to reduce complexity, but then provides a destination floor changing device that allows users to modify the registered destination. This maintains low system complexity while adding user flexibility when needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-service by allowing users to independently change their destination floor through the destination floor changing device. Users can modify the automatically registered destination without requiring system administrator intervention, providing flexibility while keeping the system simple.

AI summary
In a hall call registration apparatus of an elevator which automatically registers a destination floor call on the basis of verification information by a personal authentication device, provided is a hall call registration apparatus of an elevator which eliminates useless call registration and prevents the worsening of the operational efficiency in the case where a user desires to go to a destination floor different from a destination floor of the relevant call registration. For this purpose, the hall call registration apparatus of an elevator is provided with a first personal authentication device which authenticates a user, a hall call registration apparatus main body which performs destination floor call registration on the basis of verification information including personal ID unique to the user who is verified in the first personal authentication device, and a destination floor changing device which accepts an operation for the user to perform at least one of a change and a cancel of the destination floor of a destination floor call registration. In the case where it is judged on the basis of the contents of an operation performed in the destination floor changing device that the operation is performed by the user who is authenticated by the first personal authentication device, the hall call registration apparatus main body is configured to perform a change and a cancel of a destination floor of the destination floor call registration.
