technical field

The invention relates to an elevator system. In the elevator system, after passengers in the elevator hall register the riding conditions of the elevator car they want to ride in their own mobile terminals according to their own judgment, the elevator system automatically registers the elevator that meets the registered content. call.

Background technique

In a conventional general elevator, whether to respond to a hall call is judged by the elevator equipment side based on the passenger rate in the elevator car. For example, when the load in the car exceeds a certain reference value, the elevator does not respond to the hall call, and when the load in the car is below the reference value, the elevator is made to respond to the hall call.

However, in actual use, passengers waiting in the elevator lobby sometimes judge and decide whether to take the elevator according to the situation in the elevator car. Therefore, even when the elevator car with the load in the car below a certain reference value stops at the hall call registration floor, the passengers waiting in the elevator hall may make a decision not to take the elevator according to the degree of congestion of the passengers in the elevator car. (For example, when passengers in the elevator lobby carry large luggage). At this time, not only the passengers in the elevator car will feel unhappy because the elevator car has made unnecessary stops, but also the operating efficiency of the elevator will be significantly reduced.

In addition, even if the load in the car is below a certain standard value and there is room for passengers in the elevator car, passengers waiting in the elevator lobby may be caught alone because of two people of the opposite sex or other than themselves. Other than that, the decision not to take the elevator was made due to reasons such as the opposite sex.

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, an improved scheme has been proposed as the prior art, which displays the passenger rate in the elevator car in the elevator lobby, and is used for passengers waiting in the elevator lobby to make a judgment on whether to take the elevator, and is set to press the call button again It is possible to cancel the registration, thereby eliminating discomfort and improving the operating efficiency of the elevator (for example, refer to Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2).

In addition, as a prior art, it has been proposed that in the elevator of a residential building, in order to confirm the safety of a child riding an elevator alone, it is configured to identify an information storage device with an ID card carried by a child as an elevator passenger. And the image of the camera installed in the elevator car can be confirmed from the mobile terminal carried by the child's guardian or the image display device in the living room (for example, refer to Patent Document 3).
