Description

  The present invention relates to an elevator control system for preventing a car from leaving a suspicious person.

  In a conventional elevator control system, the destination floor is registered by performing personal authentication with a card, and when a suspicious person gets in the car, the user stops the car check by suspending the card verification. What is prevented is disclosed (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). In addition, when a passenger is present in the car, there is disclosed a technique that prevents a malicious other user from sharing a car by not displaying a registered car destination (for example, Patent Document 2).

Japanese Patent No. 4312516 (paragraph 0014, FIG. 3) Japanese Patent No. 4949720 (paragraph 0023, paragraph 0032)

  In the conventional elevator control system, for example, in the control system of Patent Document 1, when a specific individual is recognized, the door is closed only when the specific individual is continuously recognized. However, since not all users are prompted to authenticate, if the destination floor is displayed on the destination display board in the car, the person who goes to the same floor does not bother to register the destination floor. For this reason, it is impossible to distinguish whether the person is a suspicious person based on the presence or absence of card reader authentication, and the departure of the car with the suspicious person on board cannot be prevented. Moreover, in the control system of patent document 2, when the passenger is in a cage | basket | car, the destination of the registered cage | basket | car is not displayed. However, since not all users are prompted to authenticate, if the destination floor is displayed on the destination display board in the car, the person who goes to the same floor does not bother to register the destination floor. For this reason, it is impossible to distinguish whether the person is a suspicious person based on the presence or absence of card reader authentication, and the departure of the car with the suspicious person on board cannot be prevented.

An elevator control system according to the present invention is for solving such a problem. An elevator user possesses an information transmission means for storing at least the identification information of the user, and a first reading for reading the identification information. Means, authentication means for authenticating each user who gets on the elevator car by comparing the identification information from the first reading means with previously stored identification information, and the authentication means Based on the authentication result, a destination floor registration means for registering destination floor information stored in advance in association with the identification information as a destination floor, a notification means for informing the authentication result by the authentication means, and a first for reading the identification information second reading means and said information transmission hand is operated after confirming that no passengers not authenticating by the authenticated user in the authentication unit Wherein the second reading unit the identification information authenticated read from, and re-authentication detection means for detecting a re-authentication to be the same identification information as the time of authentication by the first reading unit, detects the re-authentication In this case, door opening / closing control means for starting door closing and car drive control means for driving the car to the registered destination floor after completion of the door closing are provided.

  Since the present invention is configured as described above, a car can be obtained by re-authentication after confirming that any authenticated user has no unauthenticated passenger (suspicious person). Can be started and the departure of the car with the suspicious person on it can be prevented.

Embodiment 1
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of an elevator control system according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention. In FIG. 1, an information transmission means 1 is owned by an elevator user, and is, for example, a contact type IC card, a non-contact type IC card, or a portable terminal having these functions. The hall 2 is a hall where the user gets on the elevator, and is sometimes called an elevator hall. The car 3 is an elevator car on which a user rides. The control device 4 controls the car 2 based on user identification (ID) information transmitted from the information transmitting means 1 possessed by the user via the car 2.

  The hall 2 includes first reading means 21 such as a card reader that reads user identification information from the information transmission means 1.

  The car 3 is a second reading means 31 such as a card reader that reads the identification information of the user from the information transmitting means 1, an in-car notifying means 32 that notifies the authentication result based on the authentication result received from the control device 4, and the control A door opening / closing control means 33 for starting the door closing based on the re-authentication detection result received from the device 4 and a car driving control means 34 for driving the car to the destination floor after the door closing is completed.

  The control device 4 includes an authentication unit 41 that performs authentication by comparing the user identification information received from the first reading unit 21 with the user identification information stored in advance, the user identification information, and the destination floor. Storage means 42 for storing information in advance, re-authentication detection means 43 for detecting whether or not authentication has been performed again by collation with the same identification information as authentication information once authenticated, destination floor for performing destination floor registration based on the authentication result Registration means 44 is provided.

  Next, the operation will be described. FIG. 2 is a flowchart of the elevator system in the present embodiment.

  In FIG. 2, in S <b> 1, the first reading unit 21 reads user identification information from the information transmission unit 1. After reading the user identification information, the process proceeds to S2.

  In S <b> 2, the authentication unit 41 collates the identification information received from the first reading unit 21 with the identification information stored in advance in the storage unit 42. Here, in the storage means 42, for example, it is assumed that a condominium resident has pre-registered identification information for a user such as a tenant of a building and a set of destination floors. Therefore, the collation here refers to searching for whether or not the identification information received from the first reading means 21 exists in the identification information list stored in advance. After the identification information verification, the process proceeds to S3.

  In S3, the success or failure of authentication is determined based on the search result in S2. That is, if the identification information received from the first reading means 21 is present in the previously stored identification information list, it is determined that the authentication is successful (authentication success), and the identification information received from the first reading means 21 Is not in the pre-stored identification information list, it is determined that authentication is not performed (authentication failure). As for the authentication failure, when a parity bit is added to the identification information, the determination based on the parity bit may be substituted, and S / N (Signal to Noise Ratio) is obtained. If it is less than a predetermined value, it may be substituted. If authenticated, the process proceeds to S4, and if not authenticated, the process proceeds to S14.

  In S4, the in-car notifying means 32 is used to notify the car that it has been authenticated as an authentication result. Here, the notification of the authentication result is notified, for example, as “authenticated” by voice. Accordingly, it is possible to notify the user who has boarded the car later that the user has been correctly registered without notifying the destination floor. The notification of the authentication result may be performed by displaying “authenticated” on a separately provided liquid crystal display device. After notifying that the authentication result is authenticated, the process proceeds to S5.

  In S <b> 5, the authentication unit 41 performs destination floor registration by the destination floor registration unit 44 based on the destination floor information registered in the user identification information registered in the storage unit 42. Here, as described above, since the resident of the apartment, for example, the identification information for the tenant of the building and the set of the destination floor are pre-registered in the storage unit 32, the authentication unit 41 performs authentication. Based on the user identification information, the destination floor information associated with the identification information is transmitted to the destination floor registration means 44. By doing so, the destination floor registration means 44 performs destination floor registration. Here, even if there is a destination display means (not shown), the destination display is not performed, and the destination floor is not notified by the in-car notification means 32 or the like. When the destination floor is registered, the process proceeds to S6.

  In S6, it is determined whether a predetermined time has elapsed since the destination floor was registered. If the predetermined time has elapsed, the process proceeds to S7, and if the predetermined time has not elapsed, the process returns to S6. Here, the predetermined time is a waiting time until prompting the re-authentication in S7, and the waiting time is the time from when the car arrives and the door is fully opened until the passenger completes the boarding of the car 3. Since re-authentication may be performed within this waiting time, here, for example, 20 seconds, it is not necessary to be limited to this.

  In S7, notification by the in-car notification means 32 for re-authentication is performed. Here, the notification by the in-car notification means 32 is performed by, for example, a voice “Please re-authenticate”. In addition to the voice, “Please re-authenticate” may be displayed on a separate display device. If re-authentication is notified, the process proceeds to S8.

In S8, collation between the identification information received from the second reading means 31 and the identification information authenticated in S2 (authentication successful) is performed. This is called re-collation.
For example, as in S2, the authentication unit 41 collates the identification information received from the second reading unit 31 with the identification information stored in advance in the storage unit 42, and in the re-authentication detection unit 43, Re-verification is performed because the identification information has already been authenticated in S2. Or, unlike S2, the authentication means 41 does nothing, and the re-authentication detection means 43 directly collates the identification information received from the second reading means 31 with the identification information already authenticated in S2. Re-verification may be performed. When the identification information re-verification is performed, the process proceeds to S9.

  In S9, when the identification information received from the second reading unit 31 is the identification information authenticated in S2, the re-authentication detection unit 43 determines that re-authentication has been performed (re-authentication successful). On the other hand, if the identification information received from the second reading means 31 is not the identification information authenticated in S2, it is determined that re-authentication has not been performed (re-authentication failure), and the process proceeds to S14.

  In S10, the in-car notification means 32 is used to notify the car that it has been authenticated as an authentication result. Here, the notification of the authentication result is notified, for example, as “authenticated” by voice. Accordingly, it is possible to notify the user who has boarded the car later that the user has been correctly registered without notifying the destination floor. The notification of the authentication result may be performed by displaying “authenticated” on a separately provided liquid crystal display device. After notifying that the authentication result is authenticated, the process proceeds to S11.

  In S11, the door opening / closing control means 33 starts door closing. If door closing is started, it will transfer to S12.

  In S12, when the door opening / closing control means 33 completes the door closing, the process proceeds to S13.

  In S13, the car drive control means 34 starts driving the car toward the destination floor registered in the destination floor registration means 44, and the process is terminated.

  In S14, the in-car notifying means 32 is used to notify the car that the authentication result has not been authenticated. Here, the notification of the authentication result is, for example, notified by voice as “not authenticated”. The notification of the authentication result may be performed by displaying “Not authenticated” on a separately provided liquid crystal display device. As a result of authentication, it is notified that authentication has not been performed, and the process is terminated.

  Since the elevator system according to the present embodiment is configured as described above, it is re-authenticated after confirming that any authenticated user does not have an unauthenticated passenger (suspicious person). The door can be closed and the departure of the car with a suspicious person on it can be prevented.

  When there is a user who is not authenticated by using the first reading means 21, the user places a suspicious person by not performing re-authentication by using the second reading means 31. It is possible to prevent the car from leaving the car with the suspicious person on board.

  Here, when there is a user who has not been authenticated by using the first reading means 21 despite having entered the car, any user should use the second reading means 31. It is possible to select not to perform re-authentication by. However, even a user who has not been authenticated can choose to perform re-authentication if he / she is a family member or is acquainted with this embodiment. The same effect is produced.

  In addition, when the user reverses and opens the door while the door is closed, the re-authentication may be performed again, and even if configured in this way, the same effect as in the present embodiment can be obtained.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, it is preferable that the door closing button generally used does not function unless it is re-authenticated. Thereby, it is possible to prevent an unauthenticated person from pushing the door closing button and leaving the car. Further, the door closing button may not be functioned, or the door closing button may be omitted. Even if comprised in this way, there exists an effect similar to this Embodiment.

  Also, instead of notifying by voice at the time of authentication, a display means is provided in the reading apparatus itself so that, for example, the fact that the LED (Light Emitting Diode) has been authenticated by green lighting and the red lighting has not been authenticated is displayed. It doesn't matter. Even if comprised in this way, there exists an effect similar to this Embodiment.

  In addition, the first reading unit 21 may use RFID (Radio Frequency Identification). Even if comprised in this way, there exists an effect similar to this Embodiment.
