The display unit 14 displays an image generated or acquired by the call registration device 1 or an image stored by the call registration device 1. In the present embodiment, the touch panel 20 is superimposed on the display unit 14.

(Each part of control unit 10)
The control unit 10 includes an input reception unit 101, an operation status acquisition unit 102, a usage status specification unit 103 (specific unit, acquisition unit), a selection unit 104, a registration unit 105, and a display control unit 106 (notification unit) as the above units. include.

The input receiving unit 101 outputs an instruction to each unit of the control unit 10 based on the operation signal acquired from the input unit 12. As an example, when the input reception unit 101 acquires an operation signal indicating that a touch operation to the action input button 23 has been accepted, the input reception unit 101 instructs the operation status acquisition unit 102 to acquire information indicating the operation status of the elevator 3. .. Further, when the input receiving unit 101 acquires an operation signal indicating that the touch operation to the action input button 23 has been accepted, the input receiving unit 101 instructs the usage status specifying unit 103 to acquire information indicating the usage status of each smoking room. .. Here, the information indicating the usage status according to the present embodiment is the number of users of the smoking room, but is not limited to this example.

The operation status acquisition unit 102 acquires the operation status of the elevator 3. Here, the operation status includes, but is not limited to, the moving direction of the car of the elevator 3, the destination floor of the car, the floor where the car can be stopped, the registration status of the call, and the like. The floors on which the car can be stopped are the floors excluding the preset non-stop floors. The operation status acquisition unit 102 may acquire the operation status from the elevator group management system 2 or may acquire the operation status from the control devices of the elevators 3A to 3D. The operation status acquisition unit 102 outputs the acquired operation status to the selection unit 104.

The usage status specifying unit 103 specifies the usage status of each smoking room. As an example, the usage status specifying unit 103 specifies whether or not the number of users of each smoking room has reached the capacity, that is, whether or not each smoking room is full, based on the acquired number of users of each smoking room. Here, the number of users is the total value of the number of people in the smoking room (hereinafter referred to as the number of people in the smoking room) and the number of people heading to the smoking room (hereinafter referred to as the number of people on the move). The usage status specifying unit 103 according to the present embodiment acquires the number of users (acquired information) of each smoking room from the elevator group management system 2, and the number of users and the smoking room capacity information stored in the storage unit 11. Compare with the capacity of the smoking room indicated by 111. When the number of users matches the capacity, the usage status specifying unit 103 determines that the smoking room is full. When the number of users is less than the capacity, the usage status specifying unit 103 determines that the smoking room is not full. The usage status specifying unit 103 outputs the determination result and the number of users for each smoking room to the selection unit 104.

The selection unit 104 selects a smoking room to which the user who has input a touch operation on the action input button 23 is directed, based on the operation status of the elevator 3 and the usage status of the smoking room. As an example, the selection unit 104 specifies the time required to arrive at each smoking room from the position of the call registration device 1 (hereinafter referred to as travel time) based on the operation status of the elevator 3. The travel time to the smoking room on a floor different from the floor on which the call registration device 1 that receives the input of the touch operation (hereinafter referred to as the current floor) is determined by using each of the elevators 3A to 3D. It's time to move to the smoking room. Therefore, the travel time includes the time until each of the elevator 3A to 3D cars arrives at the current floor, and the time required for the car to move from the current floor to each floor.

Further, as an example, the selection unit 104 excludes a full smoking room from the candidates for a smoking room to which the user is directed, based on the acquired determination result.

Then, the selection unit 104 identifies, for example, the smoking room having the shortest travel time and the smoking room having the shortest number of users. When these smoking rooms are the same smoking room, the selection unit 104 selects the smoking room as the smoking room to which the user is directed. On the other hand, when the smoking room having the shortest travel time and the smoking room having the least number of users are different smoking rooms, the selection unit 104 selects one of these smoking rooms based on a predetermined priority as an example. , Select as a smoking room for the above users. For example, the selection unit 104 may select the smoking room with the smallest number of users.

The selection unit 104 determines whether or not the selected smoking room is the smoking room on the current floor. If it is determined that the smoking room is not on the current floor, the selection unit 104 outputs information indicating the floor on which the selected smoking room is provided to the registration unit 105. When it is determined that the smoking room is on the current floor, the selection unit 104 notifies the display control unit 106 to that effect and notifies the elevator group management system 2 that the smoking room on the current floor has been selected.

The registration unit 105 registers in the elevator group management system 2 a call whose destination floor is the floor on which the smoking room selected by the selection unit 104 is provided. In other words, the registration unit 105 transmits the information of the call to the floor where the smoking room is provided, which is indicated by the acquired information, as the destination floor to the elevator group management system 2. At this time, in the case of registration of a call based on a touch operation on the action input button 23, the registration unit 105 notifies the elevator group management system 2 to that effect.

Further, when the registration unit 105 receives the information indicating the determined elevator 3 from the elevator group management system 2 as a response to the registration of the call, the information and the information indicating the floor where the selected smoking room is provided are displayed. Is output to the display control unit 106.

The display control unit 106 controls the display unit 14 to display an image or text. As an example, the display control unit 106 displays the display area 21, the floor selection button 22, and the action input button 23. Further, when the display control unit 106 is notified by the selection unit 104 that the selected smoking room is the smoking room on the current floor, the display control unit 106 displays an image or text indicating that fact in the display area 21. Further, when the display control unit 106 acquires the information indicating the determined elevator 3 and the information indicating the floor on which the selected smoking room is provided from the registration unit 105, the display control unit 106 obtains an image showing the elevator 3 and the floor, or an image showing the floor. Display the text in the display area 21.

<Main part configuration of elevator group management system 2>
The main part configuration of the elevator group management system 2 will be described with reference to FIG. The elevator group management system 2 includes a number of users specifying unit 201 and a destination floor call allocation unit 202.

When the destination floor call allocation unit 202 receives the call information from each call registration device 1, one of the elevators 3 is assigned to the call indicated by the information. In other words, the destination floor call allocation unit 202 responds to the call indicated by the information and determines the elevator 3 that directs the car to the floor where the call is registered. Then, the destination floor call allocation unit 202 transmits the information indicating the determined elevator 3 to the call registration device 1 that has transmitted the call information as a response to the call information. Further, the destination floor call allocation unit 202 adds 1 to the number of people moving to the smoking room indicated by the notification based on the notification from the call registration device 1.

Here, the details of the number of people on the move and the addition of the number of people on the move will be described. The number of people on the move is the number of people who have selected a smoking room by the selection unit 104 and are estimated to have not arrived at the smoking room at this time. The elevator group management system 2 stores the number of people on the move in a storage unit (not shown) for each smoking room (in other words, for each floor provided with a smoking room). When the call registration device 1 notifies that the call registration is based on the touch operation to the action input button 23, the destination floor call allocation unit 202 adds 1 to the number of people on the destination floor indicated by the call information. do. Further, when the destination floor call allocation unit 202 is notified that the smoking room on the current floor has been selected, 1 is added to the number of people on the floor where the notification source call registration device 1 is provided. Then, the destination floor call allocation unit 202 provides the floor information indicating the floor corresponding to the number of people on the move by adding 1 and the floor provided with the call registration device 1 of the notification source, to the number of users specifying unit 201. Output to.

The number of users specifying unit 201 specifies the number of users in each smoking room. Upon receiving the request for acquiring the number of users from the call registration device 1, the number of users specifying unit 201 sends a request for acquiring the number of people in the smoking room to the smoking room information providing system 4, and in response, the smoking room of each smoking room. Receive the number of people. Further, the number of users specifying unit 201 specifies the number of users of each smoking room by reading out the number of people in motion in each smoking room from the storage unit and adding the number to the corresponding number of people in the smoking room. Then, the number of users specifying unit 201 transmits the number of users of each specified smoking room to the call registration device 1 that has transmitted the acquisition request.

Further, when the user number specifying unit 201 acquires the floor information from the destination floor call allocation unit 202, it determines whether or not the two floors indicated by the floor information match. If they match, the number of users specifying unit 201 identifies that the user is heading to the smoking room on the current floor. If they do not match, the number of users specifying unit 201 identifies that the user heads for a smoking room on a floor different from the current floor.

When the user specifies that the user is heading to the smoking room on the current floor, the number of users specifying unit 201 starts measuring the passage of time. When the passage of time reaches the time indicated by the estimated travel time stored in the storage unit, the number of users specifying unit 201 subtracts 1 from the number of people on the move to which the destination floor call allocation unit 202 adds 1. Here, the estimated travel time is an estimated value of the travel time on foot from the elevator landing to the smoking room provided on the same floor as the elevator landing. That is, the number of users specifying unit 201 estimates that the user has reached the smoking room when the passage of time reaches the time indicated by the estimated travel time, and subtracts 1 from the number of people on the move.

When the user identifies that the user is heading to a smoking room on a floor different from the current floor, the number of users specifying unit 201 waits until the elevator 3 car assigned to the call arrives at the destination floor (stops at the destination floor). do. Then, when the car arrives at the destination floor, the number of users specifying unit 201 starts measuring the passage of time. Then, when the passage of time reaches the time indicated by the estimated travel time, the number of users specifying unit 201 subtracts 1 from the number of people on the move to which the destination floor call allocation unit 202 adds 1.

Further, the elevator group management system 2 transmits information indicating the operation status of the elevator 3 to the call registration device 1 in accordance with the acquisition request of the operation status of the elevator 3 transmitted from the call registration device 1.

The call registration device 1a displays the text 211 and makes the user visually recognize the text 211 to urge the user to go to the smoking room on the first floor, which is the current floor, without using the elevator.

With reference to FIG. 5 again, it returns to the explanation of the flow of the smoking room selection process. When it is determined that the selected smoking room is not on the current floor (NO in S6), the selection unit 104 outputs information indicating the floor on which the selected smoking room is provided to the registration unit 105.

The registration unit 105 registers in the elevator group management system 2 a call whose destination floor is the floor on which the smoking room selected by the selection unit 104 is provided (S8, registration step). Then, the registration unit 105 acquires information indicating the elevator 3 that moves the car to the current floor in response to the call from the elevator group management system 2. The registration unit 105 outputs the information and information indicating the floor on which the selected smoking room is provided to the display control unit 106.

Based on the information acquired from the registration unit 105, the display control unit 106 displays an image or text indicating the destination floor of the user and the elevator No. 3 on which the user should ride in the display area 21 (S9). This completes the smoking room selection process.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a specific example of the display of the call registration device 1. The call registration device 1 shown in FIG. 7 is a call registration device 1A (see FIG. 2) installed on the first floor of the building, and FIG. 7 shows the user after inputting a touch operation to the action input button 23. A display example is shown. In the example of FIG. 7, the display control unit 106 changes the mode (for example, color) of the action input button 23 in order to call the touch operation to the action input button 23 and indicate to the user that the registration device 1 has accepted the touch operation. ing.

In the example of FIG. 7, the text 212 indicating the destination floor of the user and the elevator No. 3 on which the user should ride is displayed in the display area 21. The text 212 is a text of "4th floor → Unit B". The call registration device 1 displays the text 212 and makes the user visually recognize the text 212 to urge the user to get on the B unit and head for the smoking room on the 4th floor.

<Flow of user number update process>
FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of the number of users update process executed by the elevator group management system 2.

When the destination floor call allocation unit 202 receives the notification from the call registration device 1 (S11), 1 is added to the number of people moving on the floor in response to the notification (S12). Specifically, when the received notification is a notification that the call is registered based on the touch operation to the action input button 23, the destination floor call allocation unit 202 is moving the destination floor indicated by the call information. Add 1 to the number of people. If the received notification is a notification that the smoking room on the current floor has been selected, the destination floor call allocation unit 202 sets 1 to the number of people on the floor where the notification source call registration device 1 is provided. to add. Then, the destination floor call allocation unit 202 provides the floor information indicating the floor corresponding to the number of people on the move by adding 1 and the floor provided with the call registration device 1 of the notification source, to the number of users specifying unit 201. Output to.

The number of users specifying unit 201 determines whether or not the user heads for the smoking room on the current floor based on the acquired floor information (S13). Since the details of this determination have already been described, they will not be repeated here.

When it is determined that the user is heading to the smoking room on the current floor (YES in S13), the number of users specifying unit 201 starts measuring the passage of time (S14) and waits until the passage of time reaches the estimated travel time. (S15). Then, when the passage of time reaches the estimated travel time (YES in S15), the number of users specifying unit 201 subtracts 1 from the number of people on the move for the floor in which 1 is added to the number of people on the move indicated by the floor information. (S16). This completes the process of updating the number of people on the move.

If it is determined that the user is heading to a smoking room on a floor different from the current floor (NO in S13), the number-of-user identification unit 201 waits until the elevator 3 car assigned to the call arrives at the destination floor (NO). S17). When the car arrives at the destination floor (YES in S17), the number of users specifying unit 201 starts measuring the passage of time (S14). After that, the number of users specifying unit 201 executes the processes of S15 and S16, and the process of updating the number of people on the move ends.

<Effect>
As described above, the call registration device 1 according to the present embodiment includes an input receiving unit 101 for acquiring an operation signal indicating that a touch operation to the action input button 23 displayed on the touch panel 20 has been accepted. Further, the call registration device 1 includes a selection unit 104 for selecting one of the smoking rooms provided in the building based on the reception of the touch operation.

The 105 is provided. Further, the call registration device 1 includes a display control unit 106 that notifies the user that a smoking room exists on the current floor when the floor on which the selected smoking room is provided is the current floor.

According to the above configuration, when the smoking room on the current floor is selected, the user is notified that the smoking room exists on the current floor. As a result, the user who was trying to use the elevator 3 can stop using the elevator and go to the smoking room on the floor where he / she is. As a result, the user can be presented with an appropriate smoking room.

In particular, if the user is new to the building, the user may not know which floor the smoking room is on. According to the above configuration, it is possible to inform the user that there is a smoking room on the current floor, and it is possible to suppress the user's unnecessary use of the elevator 3.

Further, the call registration device 1 includes a usage status specifying unit 103 for acquiring the number of users of each smoking room. Then, the selection unit 104 selects one of the smoking rooms based on the number of users.

According to the above configuration, since the selection unit 104 selects the smoking room based on the number of users of the smoking room, it is possible to present an appropriate smoking room to the user. For example, by selecting the smoking room with the smallest number of users, the selection unit 104 can comfortably use the smoking room, and even though the user goes to the smoking room, it is full. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the situation of being unavailable will occur.

Further, the usage status specifying unit 103 determines whether or not each smoking room is full based on the total value of the number of people in the smoking room and the number of people on the move in each smoking room. The selection unit 104 does not select a smoking room that is determined to be full.

According to the above configuration, it is possible to reduce the possibility of directing the user to a full smoking room. As a result, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the user goes to the smoking room but is full and cannot use it.

Further, the selection unit 104 transmits a notification based on the selection of the smoking room to the elevator group management system 2, and based on receiving the notification, the smoking room selected in the elevator group management system 2 1 is added to the number of people on the move. Further, when the estimated travel time elapses from a predetermined time, 1 is subtracted from the number of people during the travel. This predetermined time point is when the elevator group management system 2 identifies if the floor on which the selected smoking room is provided is the current floor. On the other hand, if the floor on which the selected smoking room is provided is not the current floor, this predetermined time point is when the car of the elevator 3 registered with the call arrives at the destination floor.

According to the above configuration, the number of people on the move can be specified without installing a device (for example, a card reader) for detecting that the user of the smoking room has arrived in the smoking room.

Further, the call registration device 1 includes an operation status acquisition unit 102 that acquires the operation status of the elevator 3. Then, the selection unit 104 selects one of the smoking rooms based on the acquired operation status.

According to the above configuration, since the selection unit 104 selects a smoking room based on the operating status of the elevator 3, it is possible to present an appropriate smoking room to the user. For example, the selection unit 104 can select a smoking room where the user can arrive earliest in view of the operation status.

In the case of this example, the registration unit 105 registers the call with the floor indicated by the acquired information as the destination floor in the elevator group management system 2. In the case of this example, the option button 24 is not displayed on the display unit 14.

Further, each of the option buttons 24 may include information indicating a facility provided on the floor corresponding to the option button 24. The facility is, for example, a toilet, a vending machine for cigarettes and beverages, a nursing room, a coffee shop, and the like, but the facility is not limited to this example.

[Modification example common to Embodiments 1 and 2]
Each of the following modifications will be described as a modification of the first embodiment in principle, but is also applicable to the second embodiment.

In the above-described embodiment, the configuration for selecting the smoking room by inputting the touch operation to the action input button 23 has been described, but the facility that can be selected by inputting the touch operation to the action input button 23 is the smoking room. Not limited. The facility may be, for example, a changing room, a toilet, a restaurant, a free address office, a break room, or the like. The call registration device 1 may display a plurality of action input buttons 23 indicating each of the plurality of facilities among these facilities including a smoking room on the touch panel 20.

When the present modification is applied to the second embodiment, the option button 24 may include information according to the facility selected by the user. For example, when the facility is a toilet, the option button 24 may include a usage status (number of users, etc.). Further, when the facility is a restaurant, the option button 24 may include a usage status and a waiting time. If the facility is an office with a free address, the option button 24 may display the number of vacant desks or the number of seats in each office.

The selection unit 104 may select a smoking room without using at least one of the operating status of the elevator 3 and the usage status (number of users) of each smoking room. In the case of a configuration that does not use the operation status of the elevator 3, the control unit 10 does not have to include the operation status acquisition unit 102. Further, in the case of a configuration in which the usage status of each smoking room is not used, the control unit 10 may not include the usage status specifying unit 103.

The information used by the selection unit 104 when selecting a smoking room is not limited to the operation status of the elevator 3 and the usage status of each smoking room. For example, the selection unit 104 may use the distance between the current floor and the floor on which each smoking room is provided.

Further, the action input button 23 may be a GUI indicating an action (for example, smoking) performed by the user at the facility, or the facility itself (for example, a smoking room), as described in the above-described embodiment. It may be the GUI shown.

In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the information acquired by the usage status specifying unit 103 is the number of users has been described, but the information is not limited to this example. For example, the information may be the availability of the facility. Here, the vacancy status may be, for example, a value obtained by subtracting the number of users from the capacity of the facility.

Further, the timing of subtracting 1 from the number of people on the move is not limited to the example of the above-described embodiment. For example, at the timing, when the floor on which the smoking room selected by the selection unit 104 is provided is the current floor, after the selection unit 104 selects the smoking room, the display control unit 106 displays the smoking room at present. It suffices if it is within the period until the notification that it is on the floor. If the floor on which the smoking room selected by the selection unit 104 is provided is not the current floor, the timing is set after the car of the elevator 3 in which the registration unit 105 has registered the call stops at the destination floor. It suffices if it is within the period until the landing door opens.

Further, for example, a card reader may be installed at the entrance of the facility, and when the card is read by the card reader at the entrance of the facility, 1 may be subtracted from the number of people on the move corresponding to the facility.

In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the elevator group management system 2 performs the updating of the number of people on the move and the calculation of the number of users is described, but these processes may be called and performed by the registration device 1.

In the above-described embodiment, the example in which the call registration device 1 is a device provided on each floor has been described, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the call registration device 1 may be a user's mobile terminal. In other words, the application that calls the user's mobile terminal and functions as a registration device may be configured to be installed in the mobile terminal. In the case of this example, the mobile terminal needs to specify the floor on which the own terminal is located. Regarding this identification, for example, the user may input the floor to the mobile terminal, or receive a wireless signal transmitted from a beacon or the like provided on each floor, and the mobile terminal specifies the floor. May be good.

[Example of implementation by software]
The control blocks (particularly the control units 10 and 10a) of the call registration devices 1 and 1a may be realized by a logic circuit (hardware) formed in an integrated circuit (IC chip) or the like, or may be realized by software. good.

In the latter case, the call registration devices 1 and 1a include a computer that executes an instruction of a program that is software that realizes each function. The computer includes, for example, one or more processors and a computer-readable recording medium that stores the program. Then, in the computer, the processor reads the program from the recording medium and executes the program, thereby achieving the object of the present invention. As the processor, for example, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) can be used. As the recording medium, a "non-temporary tangible medium", for example, a ROM (Read Only Memory) or the like, a tape, a disk, a card, a semiconductor memory, a programmable logic circuit, or the like can be used. Further, a RAM (Random Access Memory) for expanding the above program may be further provided. Further, the program may be supplied to the computer via any transmission medium (communication network, broadcast wave, etc.) capable of transmitting the program. It should be noted that one aspect of the present invention can also be realized in the form of a data signal embedded in a carrier wave, in which the above program is embodied by electronic transmission.
