[Table 1]

Table 1 is a table showing the relationship between the pattern selection conditions of 3b and the display contents in the pattern selection section of FIG. The pattern selection unit 3b selects the type of the pattern according to the conditions shown in Table 1, and determines the display based on the type and the state of the elevator (display contents). For example, in the special operation mode, the display pattern is 1, and the display is a message relating to the operation mode.

FIG. 7 shows a flowchart of a program for displaying contents on a display.

First, in step 200, the MA of the basic guidance selection mode is determined. The details are as shown in the basic guide selection mode determination flow of FIG. First, the display content is updated in step 205, and steps 210 to 250 are performed.
The basic guidance mode MA is determined between the two. Step 300
In the update control of the mode-specific guidance contents P (L), the guidance contents such as event guidance and commercial guidance for the elevator user are updated for each driving mode. In step 305, the first and second timers are updated in accordance with the mode-specific guidance contents P (L). In step 310, f is set as the number of floors. In step 315, it is determined whether the elevator has reached the landing floor or the next stop floor has been determined. If it is established, the flow proceeds to step 320, and if not, the flow proceeds to step 356. In step 320, specific conditions are determined from the basic guidance selection mode MA, and MC (F) is created based on MH (F) during the period from opening of the door to departure. For example,
If the assigned hall call is a down call, traffic information and the like are created. If the assigned hall call is an up call, event information and greeting information in the building are created. In step 325, the guide display MC (F) under the specific condition is determined. If 0, the mode-specific guide content P (L) in step 335 is set.
To the hall.

In steps 340 and 354, guidance display of P (L) or guidance display MC (F) under specific conditions is performed in the car with a predetermined time delay from the display of the hall. Further, in steps 350 and 355, the guide display of the mode-specific guide contents P (L) or the guide display MC (F) under specific conditions is performed in the passage a predetermined time later than the guide display in the car. Steps 356, 357, 358, 359, 361, 365, 3
In steps 68 and 370, the car departs, detects the elapsed time, and clears MC (F) after a predetermined time has elapsed. Further, when the elevator is assigned a hall call, the mode-specific guidance content P (L) or the guidance display MH (F) under specific conditions is displayed in the hall until the car arrives, and after the passage of the second predetermined time, the passage is displayed. The mode-specific guidance content P (L) or step 37
The guidance display MC (F) under the specific condition 1 is guidance-displayed.

In step 375, it is determined whether or not the processing on all floors has been completed. If the processing has been completed, the process returns to the main routine. If not, the process returns to step 315.
