Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an improvement in a notification device installed in an elevator hall.

Normally, an elevator registers a hall call using an up button or a down button installed at the hall, and uses this hall call to summon a car. Then, a passenger who has boarded the arriving car registers a car call using a destination button installed inside the car, and drives the car to a desired floor. In this way, in conventional elevators, it is necessary to operate call buttons at the landing and in the car.

Recently, for example, as shown in Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 53-40843, it has been proposed to provide a common destination button for each car at the landing, similar to the one inside the car, and to provide a destination floor indicator for each car at the landing. There is. When a waiting passenger registers a destination floor call by operating a landing button, the most suitable car is assigned to each destination call, and the destination floor display shows the assigned destination call. The floor is displayed, and the waiting customer who operates the hall destination button is informed of the assigned car, and the destination floor of each car is also displayed to other waiting customers. In this case, as soon as a destination call is assigned, it is automatically registered as a car call for the assigned car, which saves waiting customers the trouble of operating destination buttons in the car. Also,
This is extremely convenient because it eliminates the possibility of the destination button not being able to be touched inside the car due to congestion in the car. Furthermore, as shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-80659, when an assigned car arrives at the floor where the landing button has been operated, the car call for the floor corresponding to the destination call can be automatically registered. Proposed.

However, the above-mentioned destination floor display is too expensive to provide for each floor and each car, which poses a practical problem.

Therefore, instead of installing destination floor indicators at the boarding area, we decided to use up and down hall lanterns (hereinafter referred to as HL).
It is also being considered to install only one car, divide the registered destination calls into up and down directions, register them as up and down calls, and allocate one car to each. Then, in the same way as when conventional up and down buttons are installed, by lighting up the HL of the assigned car, the service car forecast will be announced to waiting customers. are registered as car calls all at once. In this case, a car is not assigned to each destination call, so a destination floor indicator is not necessary.
By lighting the HL, it is possible to inform the waiting passenger of the car in which he or she should ride, that is, the car in which the car call of the desired floor of the waiting passenger is automatically registered, before the waiting passenger arrives.

However, before the assigned car is decided to stop at the landing, the HL is normally lit and used as a forecast guide display for the service car, and also when the car is used for landing calls (up calls, down calls, and destination calls) and car calls. When the car is determined to stop in response, it is used as an arrival guide display to notify the arrival of the car and the direction of travel by flashing it, regardless of whether it is an allocated car or a non-allocated car. Therefore, when two or more cars including the assigned car have arrived, passengers cannot be guided preferentially to the assigned car (therefore, the car in which the car call is automatically registered). In other words, a passenger who arrived at the landing late and operated the landing destination button,
Since the arrival forecast lights for all cars display the same arrival information, it is difficult to tell which car will automatically register a car call based on the destination button you operated. As a result, a passenger riding in a car that is not the allocated car (therefore, the car call is not automatically registered) must take the trouble of pressing the destination button again in the car. Further, car calls are registered in the assigned car unnecessarily, reducing the efficiency of elevator operation.

In addition, if a waiting passenger operates a landing destination button when there are two or more cars that have arrived in response to a car call at a landing without a hall call, the passenger can choose which car (in this case, the elevator In consideration of operational efficiency, it is not possible to tell which car should be boarded (usually only one car is automatically registered with a car call), resulting in the above-mentioned problem.

Further, in an elevator where only an up button and a down button are provided at the landing, it may be possible to predict the registration of car calls in advance depending on the use of each floor of the building and the relationship between each floor depending on the use. For example, in an office building, etc., during lunch time, the up button (or down button) on the floor used as an office is pressed, an up call (or down call) is registered, and a car is placed on the floor. This is a case in which, when a response is made, the car calls for the cafeteria floor above (or below) that floor are always registered. In such a case, if the car call on the dining floor is automatically registered when the car responds to the hall call, it is convenient because passengers on that floor do not have to operate destination buttons in the car.

However, in this case as well, when two or more cars have arrived including the allocated car, or when two or more cars have arrived in response to a car call at a landing without a car call, the landing button is not operated. In this case, it will still be difficult to determine which car to board.

Therefore, when a car is arriving, the arrival information display for cars for which car calls are automatically registered and cars for which car calls are not registered, for example, is displayed for cars for which car calls are automatically registered.
It is proposed that the display format be changed by flashing the HL and turning off the HL for cars that are not automatically registered, so that waiting customers can easily identify cars whose car calls are automatically registered, thereby preventing them from getting on the wrong car. ing.

However, in this case, if a hall call is registered and the assigned car arrives in response, no matter how many cars (more than 2) have arrived, the car for which the car call is automatically registered (assigned car) ), so there is no problem because the arrival guidance display is such that it can be easily identified, but a problem arises when two or more cars that have responded to the car call for that floor arrive at a landing where there is no car call. In other words, in the state before the landing button is operated, all of the cars mentioned above display the exact same arrival information display, and until which car is selected as the car for automatic car call registration, the passenger waits until the landing button is operated. I don't know. Therefore, when operating a landing button, if a car located far away from or behind a waiting customer is selected, the waiting customer may not notice the car at all, or may not notice it at all, or may be in a hurry to change the position of the car. This may cause problems such as having to run towards the destination.

This invention is intended to improve the above-mentioned problem, and when multiple cars arrive at a landing without a car call, select the car for which the car call is automatically registered,
To provide an elevator hall notification device which guides a waiting passenger to a car in which a car call is automatically registered and makes it easy for the waiting passenger to board the car by giving notification separately from other cars.

UZ is also the uplink priority response car signal for the 3rd floor of Units 2 and 3.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained.

Now, assuming that Unit 1 is on the 2nd floor in the ascending direction, Unit 2 is on the 1st floor in the ascending direction, and Unit 3 is on the 5th floor in the descending direction, the landing call cancellation circuit 14AX of Unit 1
In the third floor circuit (Fig. 5), the third floor car position signal 43X is "L", so the AND gate 830
All the outputs of 832 to 832 are "L", and the third floor's up call cancellation command signal 55UX and down call cancellation command signal 55DX are both "L".
The same goes for the second and third floors, and the up call cancellation command signals 55UY, 55UZ and the down call cancellation command signals 55DY, 55DZ on the third floor are also set to "L". In addition, 3 of the priority response car setting circuit 13B
In the circuit for the landing in the upward direction (Fig. 4), the third floor car position signals 43Y and 43Z of cars No. 2 and No. 3 are also set to "L", so the AND gates 821 to 8
23 outputs 821a to 823a are all “L”
Therefore, the outputs of the NOT gates 871 to 873 are all "H", and the third floor up priority response car signals 93UX to 93UZ of the first to third cars are all "L".

If a passenger entering the landing on the third floor for the first time presses the destination button 4A for the fourth floor on the hall operation panel 10, the output of the OR gate 851 is "L", so the memory 803 is set and the destination button on the fourth floor is pressed. The destination call registration signal 304 becomes “H” and the destination button light 4B
lights up to let you know that the destination call for the 4th floor has been registered. In addition, since the output of OR gate 853 also becomes "H", memory 806 is set,
The up call registration signal 33U on the third floor becomes "H",
The up call for the third floor is registered. Then, the allocation circuit 13C allocates the No. 1 car that is expected to be able to respond to the uplink call on the 3rd floor in the shortest time, and when the 3rd floor uplink assignment signal 33UX becomes "H", the HL control circuit 14CX of the No. 1 car is assigned. In the circuit for the 3rd floor upbound hall (Fig. 7), the 3rd floor upbound arrival display command signal 56UXa is "L" and the output of the NOT gate 878 is "H", so the AND gate 841
The output becomes "H". Therefore, the output of the OR gate 861 becomes "H", and the 3rd floor ascending light 11UX of the No. 1 car turns on, indicating that the No. 1 car has been assigned. At the same time, in the third floor circuit (Fig. 8) of the chime control circuit 14FX of Unit 1, the OR
When the output of the gate 862 becomes "H", the pulse generator 811 emits a pulse signal that becomes "H" for 0.5 seconds, and the forecast chime 12AX on the 3rd floor of Unit 1 rings with a single tone, and the assigned car is also alerted by the sound. Let me know.

When Unit 1 departs from the 2nd floor and reaches the 3rd floor, the 4th
In the figure, the 3rd floor car position signal 43X becomes "H" and 3
When it is decided to stop in response to a call upstairs, the call answering signal 61X becomes "H". At this time, since the upstream signal 51UX is "H", the output 821a of the AND gate 821 becomes "H", and the AND
The output of gate 824 also becomes "H", and memory 807 is set via OR gate 855. Now, the priority response car signal 93 for the 3rd floor of Unit 1
UX becomes "H". Also, in Figure 7, AND
The third floor up arrival display command signal 56UXa, which is the output of the gate 840, becomes “H” and the NOT gate 87
Since the output of 8 is "L", AND gate 84
The output of 1 becomes "L", and the forecast guidance display by the uplight 11UX is blocked. On the other hand, in the arrival display state setting circuit 58X, the periodic pulse generator 58AX
For 0.5 seconds when the periodic pulse signal becomes “H”,
Since the output of AND gate 838 becomes "H",
The arrival display state command signal 58Xa also becomes "H" by the OR gate 860. Also, for 0.5 seconds when the periodic pulse signal becomes "L", the AND gate 83
8 is "L", the output of NOT gate 879 is "L", and the output of AND gate 839 is "L", so the arrival display state command signal 58Xa, which is the output of OR gate 860, is "L". ”. As a result, the output of the OR gate 861 has a cycle of 1 second (0.5
``H'' for 0.5 seconds, ``L'' for 0.5 seconds) becomes a signal that repeats ``H'' and ``L'', and the uplight 11UX on the third floor flashes in response to this, indicating that Unit 1 has arrived in the upbound direction. Inform.

Further, in FIG. 8, the arrival display command signal 56
When UXa becomes "H" and the uplink priority response car signal 93UX becomes "H", the AND gate 84
The output of 3 becomes "H", the output of OR gate 863 also becomes "H", and the pulse generator 812 outputs 0.5
It emits a pulse signal that becomes "H" for a second, and
The floor arrival chime 12BX will sound in double tones, and the sound will also notify the arrival of the car.

On the other hand, 4 of car call registration circuit 14BX of No. 1 car
In the floor circuit (Fig. 6), the first car arrives at the third floor in the upward direction, and the priority response car signal 93UX is "H".
Then, the fourth floor destination call registration signal 304 is "H", so the output of the AND gate 834 is "H", and the output of the OR gate 859 is also "H".
Therefore, the memory 810 is set and the fourth floor car call registration signal 24X becomes "H". Now, 1
In the car of car number 4, the car call button light 24
The LX lights up to let you know that the car call on the 4th floor has been automatically registered. Therefore, when a passenger on the third floor who is going to the fourth floor boards the car of car No. 1, the car call for the fourth floor has already been registered, so the passenger does not need to press the destination button in the car.

On the 3rd floor, when the car starts to close its door after boarding and alighting in car No. 1, the door opening/closing command signal 59 is activated in Fig. 5.
X becomes "H". At this time, since the door has not been completely closed, the fully closed signal 54X is "L", the output of the NOT gate 877 is "H", and the AND gate 8
The output of 30 also becomes "H". Since the 3rd floor up priority car signal 93UX of car No. 1 is "H", AND
The third floor up call cancellation command signal 55UX becomes "H" by the gate 831. Now, in Figure 3
Since the output of OR gate 851 becomes "H", both memories 803 and 806 are reset, and 4
The floor destination call registration signal 304 becomes "L", the registration of the fourth floor destination call is canceled, and the fourth floor destination button light 4B is turned off. Further, the third floor up call registration signal 33U also becomes "L", and when the registration of the third floor up call is canceled, the third floor up assignment signal 33UX of the first car is reset to "L" in the allocation circuit 13C.

When the car of No. 1 is about to close its door, the call answering signal 61X becomes "L", so as shown in Fig. 4.
The output 821a of the AND gate 821 becomes L,
The output of the NOT gate 871 becomes "H", the memory 807 is reset, and the 3rd floor up priority response car signal 93UX of car No. 1 becomes "L". on the other hand,
In FIG. 7, the output of the AND gate 840 becomes "L", and the arrival display command signal 56UXa becomes "L", so the output of the AND gate 842 becomes "L",
The output of the OR gate 861 also becomes "L", and the third floor uplight 11UX is turned off. When the car of No. 1 completes door closing, the fully closed signal 54X in FIG. 5 becomes "H", so the output of AND gate 830 becomes "L", and the output of AND gate 831 becomes
The up-floor call cancellation command signal 55UX becomes "L", and it becomes possible to register an up-call on the third floor again. 1
When the car of car No. 1 completes its door closing and departs from the third floor and reaches the fourth floor, the third floor car position signal 43X becomes "L" and the fourth floor car position signal 44X in FIG. 6 becomes "H". Unit 1 decides to stop in response to the car call 24X on the 4th floor, and when it stops on the 4th floor, the stopping signal 50
Since X becomes "H", the output of the AND gate 837 becomes "H", the memory 810 is reset, the 4th floor car call registration signal 24X becomes "L", the 4th floor car call button light 24LX goes out, 4
It responds to the car call on the floor and informs you that it has stopped.

The above is the operation when the assigned car (car No. 1) responds to a hall call.

Next, it is assumed that while the first car is on the second floor in the upward direction and the third car is on the first floor in the upward direction, the second car responds to a car call on the third floor and arrives at the third floor in the upward direction.
In this case, the car position signal 43 of the second car in Fig.
Y, call answering signal 61Y and up direction signal 51
Since UY is "H", the output 822a of AND gate 822 is "H". On the other hand, the output of OR gate 858 is "L", the output of NOT gate 874 is "H", the output 821a of AND gate 821 is "L", and the output of NOT gate 875 is "H". Now AND gate 82
The selection signal 813Y of the No. 2 car which is the output of No. 8 becomes "H", the memory 808 is set via the OR gate 856, and the 3rd floor up priority response car signal 93UY of the No. 2 car becomes "H". Therefore,
When Unit 2 responds to the car call on the 3rd floor and decides to stop, the arrival chime 12BY on the 3rd floor will sound in double tones, and the uplight 11UY on the 3rd floor will blink every 0.5 seconds.

Now, when Unit 2 was arriving at the third floor in response to the call for going up to the third floor, Unit 1 departed from the second floor with passengers going to the third floor and decided to stop while heading up to the third floor. do. At this time, in Fig. 4, the 3rd floor car position signal 43X of car No. 1 is "H", and the call answering signal 61
Since X is "H" and the up direction signal 51UX is "H", the output 821a of the AND gate 821 is "H", but since the 3rd floor up priority response car signal 93UY of the second car is "H" , selection circuit 81
3, the output of OR gate 858 is "H", NOT
Since the output of gate 874 is "L",
The output of AND gate 827 remains "L",
The No. 1 car is not selected as the priority response car, and the 3rd floor ascending priority response car signal 93UX of the No. 1 car remains at "L". Therefore, NOT gate 8 in Figure 7
79 becomes "H", the output of the AND gate 839 becomes "H" for 3 seconds when the periodic pulse signal from the periodic pulse generator 58BX becomes "H", and the arrival display state command signal 58Xa also becomes "H". "become. Also, the periodic pulse signal becomes “L”.
For 0.5 seconds, the output of the AND gate 839 becomes "L", and the arrival display state command signal 58Xa also becomes "L". As a result, while the upbound arrival display command signal 56UXa is at "H", the third floor uplight 11UX flashes on and off for 3 seconds and off for 0.5 seconds. Also,
In FIG. 8, the arrival display command signal 56UXa is "H".
Even if it becomes, 3rd floor priority response car signal 93UX
remains “L”, AND gate 843
and the output of OR gate 863 are both "L". Therefore, the output of the pulse generator 812 does not become "H", and even when the first machine reaches the third floor, the third
Floor arrival chime 12BX is not rung.

If a passenger going to the 4th floor enters the landing on the 3rd floor and presses the 4th floor destination button 4A while the 1st and 2nd planes are arriving on the 3rd floor in the upward direction, priority response will be given as described above. The car call for the 4th floor is registered in Car No. 2, which is a car. (At this time, the 3rd floor inbound call 33U
is registered, but the assignment circuit 13C is configured not to select the assigned car if the priority response car is selected. ) At this time, the blinking patterns of the up lights 11UY and 11UX of Unit 2, which is a priority response car, and Unit 1, which is not a priority response car, are changed, so
From the moment a passenger enters the landing, the priority response car, that is, the car in which the car call is automatically registered, is 2.
You can easily tell if it is a machine number. Therefore, after the passenger presses the destination button 4A on the 4th floor,
You will be able to board the second train without any confusion.

When Unit 2 starts closing its door and is about to complete closing, Unit 2's 3rd floor priority response car signal 93UY is activated.
is reset to "L", so the output of OR gate 858 in FIG. 4 becomes "L" and the output of NOT gate 874 becomes "H". Unit 1 is still 3
If it is responding in the upward direction on the floor, AND gate 8
The output 821a of 21 is "H". with this,
The selection signal 813X of car No. 1, which is the output of AND gate 827, becomes "H", the memory 807 is set via OR gate 855, and car No. 1 is selected as the priority response car for the third floor upward direction.

When the first car is newly selected as the priority response car,
The uplight 11UX on the 3rd floor of Unit 1 will be changed from blinking at a 3.5-second cycle to blinking at a 1-second cycle. At this time, AND gate 843 and OR gate 8 in FIG.
Since the output of 63 becomes "H", the arrival chime 12BX on the third floor rings with two consecutive tones. Therefore,
Even when a new priority response car is selected, passengers can easily find the priority response car through the auditory notification provided by the arrival chime.

Thereafter, when the destination button 4A or 5A for the 4th or 5th floor is pressed, the car call is automatically registered in car number 1, which is the priority response car.

If Unit 2 starts closing the door and just before the door closes,
Unit 3 leaves the first floor with passengers going to the third floor.
Suppose you arrive at the third floor in the upward direction. At this time, since the car position signal 43Z, call answering signal 61Z, and up direction signal 51UZ of the third car in FIG. 4 are "H", the output 82 of the AND gate 823 is
3a becomes "H". When the priority response car signal 93UY of the No. 2 car is reset to "L", the output of the OR gate 858 becomes "L", and the NOT gate 8
Since the output of 74 is "H", as mentioned above,
The selection signal 813X of the No. 1 car, which is the output of the AND gate 827, becomes "H", and the No. 1 car is selected as the 3rd floor ascending priority response car. On the other hand, for Unit 3,
Since the output of NOT gate 875 is “L”,
The output of AND gate 829 remains "L".
In this way, when there are two or more arriving cars, the car with the lowest car number is preferentially selected as the priority response car.

In the above embodiment, when there is a car that arrives in response to a car call at a landing without a hall call, the first car that arrives is selected as the priority response car, and when the priority response car departs, the arriving car A new priority response car from among them (the car with the lowest number is given priority)
is selected, and the arrival information for the above-mentioned car is displayed separately from other cars, so that waiting customers can see at a glance which car will have a car call automatically registered using the hall destination button. Therefore, from the time the waiting passenger enters the landing, he or she can know which car the car call will be registered using the landing destination button, so if the waiting passenger is informed of the car after operating the destination button, You can ride the car with plenty of time to spare.

FIG. 9 shows another embodiment according to the invention.

In the diagram, 24Y and 24Z are Unit 2 and 3, respectively.
Car call registration signal on the 4th floor of the car, 25X-25Z
are car call registration signals on the 5th floor of cars 1 to 3, respectively; 814 to 816 are counting circuits that count the number of input signals that are "H" and output a corresponding count signal; 817 is a Inputs I ₁ to I ₃ corresponding to inputs T ₁ to _{T 3} are “H” (for example, if inputs T ₁ and T ₂ are “H”, input
This is a maximum value selection circuit that selects the one with the maximum value among I ₁ and I ₂ and one of _the corresponding outputs P ₁ to _{P 3} becomes "H". If there are two or more inputs equal to the maximum value, they are selected preferentially in the order of I ₁ → I ₂ → I ₃ . Also, input
When T ₁ to _{T 3} are “L”, outputs P ₁ to _{P 3} are “L”.

At the landing where the 3rd floor up call was registered, the No. 2 car that arrived first in the up direction in response to the 3rd floor car call was selected as the priority response car, and then answered the 3rd floor car call. Consider the case where Units 1 and 3 arrive at the third floor in the upward direction. At this time, the uplight 11UY on the third floor of the No. 2 car, which is a priority response car, flashes at a 1-second period, and the uplight lights 11UX and 11UZ of the No. 1 and No. 3 cars blink at a 3.5-second period.

Now, after Unit 2 finishes its service on the 3rd floor, it begins to close its door to leave for the 4th floor, and just before the door closes, Unit 2's 3rd floor priority response car signal 933
When UY becomes "L", one new priority response car is selected from among the No. 1 and No. 3 cars arriving at the third floor in the upward direction. If only the car call for the 5th floor is registered in car No. 1 and the 5th floor car call registration signal 25X is "H", the counting circuit 814 emits an output corresponding to "1" (piece). Furthermore, when the car calls on the 4th and 5th floors are registered in the No. 3 car and the car call registration signals 24Z and 25Z are both "H", the counting circuit 816 corresponds to "2" (pieces). Emits output. When the door of No. 2 is about to close, the output 822a of the AND gate 822 in FIG. 4 becomes "L", and the outputs 821a and 823a of the AND gates 821 and 823 corresponding to No. Both are "H". Therefore, the inputs T ₁ and T ₃ of the maximum value selection circuit 817
is "H", so input I ₁ (1 piece) and input I ₃
Among (2), input I ₃ with the maximum value is selected,
Output _P3 becomes "H". Also, outputs P ₁ and P ₂ are “L”
becomes.

Meanwhile, priority response car signal 93 for the 3rd floor of Unit 2
When UY becomes "L", the output of OR gate 858 becomes "L" and the output of NOT gate 874 becomes "H", so the output of AND gate 829, that is, the selection signal 813Z for No. 3 machine becomes "H". becomes. Then, the memory 809 is set via the OR gate 857 in FIG. 4, and the 3rd floor up priority response car signal 93UZ of the 3rd car becomes "H". Therefore, in Unit 3, which was newly selected as the priority response car, the 3rd floor uplight 11UZ changed from flashing at a 3.5 second cycle to 1.
Changed to blink every second. At the same time, the arrival chime 12BZ on the third floor rings in double tones to notify that the car has been selected as a priority response car.

In this embodiment, when there is a car that arrives in response to a car call at a hall where there is no hall call, the car that arrives first is selected as the priority response car. Also,
When a priority response car departs, the car with the highest number of car call registrations is selected from among the arriving cars as the new priority response car, the arrival information for this car is displayed separately from other cars, and the landing destination button is displayed. Customers can see at a glance which cars have registered car calls. Therefore, in addition to being able to provide the same functions as the first embodiment, the number of stops of the elevator as a whole is reduced, and operation efficiency is improved.

Note that it is also possible to implement as follows.

(A) In addition to HL and chimes as an alarm, visual indicators are used to provide arrival guidance using figures and letters made of liquid crystals, light emitting diodes, cathode ray tubes, etc., and auditory indicators include voice announcements. . In addition, a dedicated annunciator is used to notify the car in which the car call is automatically registered.

(b) As a means of differentiating the notification format for cars in which car calls are automatically registered and cars in which car calls are not automatically registered, HL
In addition to using the lighting status (on, off, or blinking, as well as the blinking cycle and blinking ratio (ratio of lighting time to off time when blinking)) and chime ringing status (ringing or non-ringing), the color and brightness of the HL. or change the chime volume, number of rings, pitch, melody, etc. (For those that display arrival information using figures, letters, etc., it is possible to clearly distinguish between cars for which car calls are automatically registered and cars that are not.) (c) When a new car call is automatically registered from among arriving cars. When selecting a car, the number of stops is the highest considering car calls that have already been assigned to other floors, car calls that are automatically registered by responding to the car calls, and car calls that have already been registered. Priority is given to selecting a car with fewer service problems, such as a car that is not in charge of long-waiting calls, or a car that is not full. In addition, the assigned car when a call for a platform occurs in the same direction as the car's operating direction at the above platform (however, only for cars arriving at the above platform)
is selected as the car for which car calls are automatically registered.

(d) This also applies to elevators that only provide arrival guidance without providing forecast guidance for assigned cars. It is also applied to elevators that allocate the most suitable car for each destination call and notify the assigned car for each destination call through a destination floor display. In this case, it is possible to clearly display the arrival of a car whose car call is automatically registered for waiting passengers who are in a position where it is difficult to see the destination floor on the destination floor display.

(E) Simply provide an up button and a down button at the landing,
The present invention is also applied to elevators that automatically register the car call of a predetermined floor to a predetermined car when these are operated.

(F) As a means of specifying the destination floor at the landing, use a dial or numeric keypad destination floor button.

As described above, the present invention is an elevator that automatically registers the car call of the destination floor corresponding to the button of the hall operated by the passenger in one of the plurality of cars. When multiple cars arrive at a landing, passengers can select the car for which the car call will be automatically registered and be notified separately from other cars, making it easier for passengers to select the car for which the car call will be automatically registered. This allows you to board the car without hesitation, and prevents a drop in elevator operation efficiency.
