 本発明は、エレベータの利用者認識システムに関する。 The present invention relates to an elevator user recognition system.

 特許文献1にエレベータシステムの例が記載されている。エレベータシステムにおいて、乗場に設けられるセンサが予め定められた利用者の動作を検知する場合に、利用者の呼びが登録される。 Patent Document 1 describes an example of an elevator system. In an elevator system, when a sensor provided at a landing detects a predetermined user's operation, a call of the user is registered.

日本特開2015-113205号公報Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-113205

In the elevator system 2, the landing on the floor where the security gate 5 is provided is surrounded by a structure such as a wall to prevent a user who does not pass through the route from entering. The security gate 5 includes a receiving unit 7.

 受信部7は、無線タグ4から識別情報を受信する部分である。受信部7は、例えばアンテナである。予め定められた基準に適合する識別情報を受信部7が受信していないときに、セキュリティゲート5は閉じている。 The receiving unit 7 is a unit that receives identification information from the wireless tag 4. The receiving unit 7 is, for example, an antenna. The security gate 5 is closed when the receiving unit 7 has not received the identification information meeting the predetermined criteria.

 受信部7はまた、無線タグ4の位置情報を取得する部分である。識別情報および無線タグ4の位置情報は、無線タグ4から送信される無線信号によって取得される。受信部7は、取得した識別情報および位置情報を記憶する。受信部7は、無線タグ4から受信する無線信号の強度の情報を取得する素子を搭載する。無線信号の強度は、例えばRSSI(Received Signal Strength Indication)値である。受信部7は、例えば無線タグ4の位置情報からRSSI値を算出する。受信部7は、識別情報、位置情報およびRSSI値の情報を送信しうるように、呼び制御装置6に接続される。 (4) The receiving unit 7 is a unit that acquires the position information of the wireless tag 4. The identification information and the position information of the wireless tag 4 are obtained by a wireless signal transmitted from the wireless tag 4. The receiving unit 7 stores the acquired identification information and position information. The receiving unit 7 includes an element that acquires information on the strength of a wireless signal received from the wireless tag 4. The strength of the wireless signal is, for example, an RSSI (Received Signal Strong Strength Indication) value. The receiving unit 7 calculates an RSSI value from the position information of the wireless tag 4, for example. The receiving unit 7 is connected to the call control device 6 so as to transmit the identification information, the position information, and the information of the RSSI value.

 呼び制御装置6は、検出部8と、生成部9と、基準記憶部10と、判定部11と、を備える。 The call control device 6 includes a detection unit 8, a generation unit 9, a reference storage unit 10, and a determination unit 11.

 検出部8は、受信部7から取得するRSSI値の情報に基づいて、乗場に進入しようとする利用者を検出する部分である。検出部8は、検出の結果を送信しうるように、生成部9に接続される。 The detection unit 8 is a unit that detects a user who intends to enter the landing based on the information of the RSSI value acquired from the reception unit 7. The detection unit 8 is connected to the generation unit 9 so that the detection result can be transmitted.

 生成部9は、無線タグ4の位置情報から無線タグ4が移動する軌道の軌道情報を生成する部分である。軌道情報は、移動する無線タグ4の軌道を表す情報である。軌道情報は、例えば、無線タグ4の床面からの高さの時間に対する変化を表す情報である。軌道情報は、例えば、高さの平均値の情報、高さの振動の振幅の情報または高さの振動の周波数の情報を含む。 The generation unit 9 is a unit that generates trajectory information of the trajectory on which the wireless tag 4 moves from the position information of the wireless tag 4. The trajectory information is information indicating the trajectory of the moving wireless tag 4. The orbit information is, for example, information indicating a change in the height of the wireless tag 4 from the floor with respect to time. The trajectory information includes, for example, information on the average value of the height, information on the amplitude of the vibration at the height, or information on the frequency of the vibration at the height.

 基準記憶部10は、予め登録される基準の情報を記憶する部分である。登録される基準は、移動する無線タグ4の軌道に対する基準を表す。登録される基準において、例えば無線タグ4の床面からの高さの許容範囲が設定される。あるいは、登録される基準において、例えば無線タグ4の床面からの高さの振動の振幅または周波数の許容範囲が設定される。登録される基準は、移動補助具および無線タグ4が移動補助具に設けられる位置に対応する。基準記憶部10は、登録される基準の情報と、呼びモードと、を対応付けて記憶する。 The criterion storage unit 10 is a part for storing information of criterion registered in advance. The registered criterion indicates a criterion for the trajectory of the moving wireless tag 4. In the registered criteria, for example, an allowable range of the height of the wireless tag 4 from the floor surface is set. Alternatively, for example, the allowable range of the amplitude or frequency of the vibration of the height of the wireless tag 4 from the floor is set in the registered standard. The registered reference corresponds to the position where the movement assisting device and the wireless tag 4 are provided on the moving assisting device. The reference storage unit 10 stores information of the reference to be registered and the call mode in association with each other.

 判定部11は、生成部9が生成した軌道情報に表される無線タグ4の軌道が、基準記憶部10に登録されている基準に適合するかの判定を行う部分である。判定部11は、登録されている基準の情報を取得しうるように、基準記憶部10に接続される。 The determination unit 11 is a unit that determines whether the trajectory of the wireless tag 4 represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 matches the criterion registered in the criterion storage unit 10. The determination unit 11 is connected to the reference storage unit 10 so as to be able to acquire registered reference information.

 判定部11はまた、判定に基づいて呼びモードを指定する部分である。判定部11による呼びモードの指定は、受信部7が受信した識別情報が予め定められた基準に適合する場合に行われる。生成部9が生成した軌道情報に表される軌道が登録される基準に適合するとの判定を判定部11が行うときに、当該基準に対応付けて基準記憶部10に記憶されている呼びモードが指定される。一方、生成部9が生成した軌道情報に表される軌道が登録される基準に適合するとの判定を判定部11が行わないときに、通常の呼びモードが指定される。通常の呼びモードは、例えば移動補助具を使用しない利用者に対応する呼びのモードである。 The determination unit 11 is a unit that specifies a call mode based on the determination. The designation of the call mode by the determination unit 11 is performed when the identification information received by the reception unit 7 conforms to a predetermined standard. When the determination unit 11 determines that the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 matches the registered standard, the call mode stored in the reference storage unit 10 in association with the criterion is determined. It is specified. On the other hand, when the determination unit 11 does not determine that the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 matches the registration criterion, the normal call mode is designated. The normal call mode is, for example, a call mode corresponding to a user who does not use the movement assisting device.

 引き続き図1を用いて、利用者認識システム1の動作の概要を説明する。 (4) An outline of the operation of the user recognition system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

 通常時において、セキュリティゲート5は、閉じている。このとき、セキュリティゲート5は、出入口から建築物に入る者を乗場に進入させない。車椅子に搭乗する利用者は、セキュリティゲート5に接近する。受信部7は、車椅子に設けられる無線タグ4から識別情報および位置情報を取得する。 に お い て In normal times, the security gate 5 is closed. At this time, the security gate 5 does not allow a person who enters the building from the entrance to enter the landing. A user in a wheelchair approaches the security gate 5. The receiving unit 7 acquires identification information and position information from the wireless tag 4 provided on the wheelchair.

 呼び制御装置6は、識別情報および位置情報を受信部7から取得する。受信部7は、予め定められた時間間隔で送信される無線信号から取得した識別情報および位置情報を順次記憶する。受信部7は、例えばn回分の識別情報および位置情報を記憶することによって蓄積する。検出部8は、受信部7から取得するRSSI値の情報に基づいて、乗場に進入しようとする利用者の検出を行う。 The call control device 6 acquires the identification information and the position information from the receiving unit 7. The receiving unit 7 sequentially stores identification information and position information obtained from wireless signals transmitted at predetermined time intervals. The receiving unit 7 accumulates by storing, for example, identification information and position information for n times. The detection unit 8 detects a user who intends to enter the landing based on the information of the RSSI value acquired from the reception unit 7.

 検出部8が利用者を検出しない場合に、呼び制御装置6は、取得した識別情報および位置情報を破棄する。受信部7は、蓄積している識別情報および位置情報を破棄する。このとき、生成部9は、軌道情報を生成しない。 When the detecting unit 8 does not detect the user, the call control device 6 discards the obtained identification information and position information. The receiving unit 7 discards the stored identification information and position information. At this time, the generation unit 9 does not generate the trajectory information.

 一方、検出部8が利用者を検出する場合に、生成部9は、受信部7から取得する無線タグ4の位置情報から軌道情報を生成する。セキュリティゲート5は、予め定められた基準に識別情報が適合するかの判定を行う。識別情報が予め定められた基準に適合する場合に、セキュリティゲート5は開く。判定部11は、生成部9が生成した軌道情報に表される無線タグ4の軌道が、基準記憶部10に登録されている基準に適合するかの判定を行う。判定部11は、当該判定に基づいて、呼びモードを指定する。判定部11は、指定した呼びモードをエレベータシステム2の登録部3に通知する。登録部3は、通知された呼びモードに基づいて、利用者の呼びをかごに登録する。 On the other hand, when the detecting unit 8 detects a user, the generating unit 9 generates trajectory information from the position information of the wireless tag 4 acquired from the receiving unit 7. The security gate 5 determines whether the identification information conforms to a predetermined criterion. If the identification information meets the predetermined criteria, the security gate 5 opens. The determination unit 11 determines whether the trajectory of the wireless tag 4 represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 matches the criterion registered in the criterion storage unit 10. The determination unit 11 specifies a call mode based on the determination. The determination unit 11 notifies the designated call mode to the registration unit 3 of the elevator system 2. The registration unit 3 registers the user's call in the car based on the notified call mode.

 利用者は、セキュリティゲート5が設けられる経路を通過して乗場に進入する。利用者は、乗場において、呼びが登録されたかごの到着を待機する。その後、利用者は、かごを利用して目的階に移動する。 (4) The user enters the landing through the route where the security gate 5 is provided. The user waits at the landing for the arrival of the car in which the call has been registered. Thereafter, the user moves to the destination floor using the car.

 続いて、図2を用いて無線タグ4が設けられる車椅子12の例を説明する。
 図2は、実施の形態1に係る無線タグが設けられる車椅子の例を示す図である。
Subsequently, an example of the wheelchair 12 provided with the wireless tag 4 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of a wheelchair provided with the wireless tag according to the first embodiment.

 図2の左側に示されるように、無線タグ4は、例えば車椅子12のハンドル13に設けられる。 無線 As shown on the left side of FIG. 2, the wireless tag 4 is provided on, for example, a handle 13 of a wheelchair 12.

 この場合に、車椅子12の移動によって、無線タグ4の高さは変化しない。すなわち、無線タグ4は、床面からの高さが一定の軌道上を移動する。この場合の車椅子12および無線タグ4が設けられる位置に対応する基準として基準記憶部10が記憶する基準において、無線タグ4の床面からの高さの許容範囲が設定される。 In this case, the height of the wireless tag 4 does not change due to the movement of the wheelchair 12. That is, the wireless tag 4 moves on a track whose height from the floor is constant. In this case, the allowable range of the height of the wireless tag 4 from the floor is set based on the reference stored in the reference storage unit 10 as the reference corresponding to the position where the wheelchair 12 and the wireless tag 4 are provided.

 図2の右側に示されるように、無線タグ4は、例えば車椅子12の車輪14に設けられる。 無線 As shown on the right side of FIG. 2, the wireless tag 4 is provided, for example, on wheels 14 of a wheelchair 12.

 この場合に、車椅子12の移動によって、無線タグ4は車輪14とともに回転する。すなわち、無線タグ4は、車輪14に設けられる位置に応じた振幅と車輪14の回転速度に応じた周波数とによって床面からの高さ方向に振動する軌道上を移動する。この場合の車椅子12および無線タグ4が設けられる位置に対応する基準として基準記憶部10が記憶する基準において、無線タグ4の床面からの高さの振動の振幅または周波数の許容範囲が設定される。 In this case, the movement of the wheelchair 12 causes the wireless tag 4 to rotate together with the wheels 14. That is, the wireless tag 4 moves on a track that vibrates in the height direction from the floor surface with an amplitude corresponding to the position provided on the wheel 14 and a frequency corresponding to the rotation speed of the wheel 14. In the reference stored in the reference storage unit 10 as the reference corresponding to the position where the wheelchair 12 and the wireless tag 4 are provided in this case, the allowable range of the amplitude or frequency of the vibration of the wireless tag 4 from the floor is set. You.

 続いて、図3を用いて検出部8による利用者の検出を説明する。
 図3は、実施の形態1に係る検出部による利用者の検出の例を示す図である。
Subsequently, detection of a user by the detection unit 8 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of detection of a user by the detection unit according to the first embodiment.

 図3において、横軸は受信部7が取得するRSSI値を表す。検出部8において、RSSI値に対する閾値が設定される。この例において、閾値は-10dBmである。 In FIG. 3, the horizontal axis represents the RSSI value acquired by the receiving unit 7. In the detection unit 8, a threshold value for the RSSI value is set. In this example, the threshold is -10 dBm.

 受信部7から取得するRSSI値が閾値を超えている時間が予め定められた時間以上のときに、検出部8は、利用者が乗場に進入しようとする意思があると判定する。このとき、検出部8は、乗場に進入しようとする利用者を検出する。 (4) When the time during which the RSSI value obtained from the receiving unit 7 exceeds the threshold is equal to or longer than a predetermined time, the detecting unit 8 determines that the user has an intention to enter the landing. At this time, the detection unit 8 detects a user trying to enter the landing.

 一方、受信部7から取得するRSSI値が閾値を超えている時間が予め定められた時間より短いとき、または、RSSI値が閾値を超えないときに、検出部8は、利用者が乗場に進入しようとする意思がないと判定する。このとき、検出部8は、乗場に進入しようとする利用者を検出しない。 On the other hand, when the time during which the RSSI value obtained from the reception unit 7 exceeds the threshold is shorter than a predetermined time, or when the RSSI value does not exceed the threshold, the detection unit 8 allows the user to enter the landing. Judge that there is no intention to do so. At this time, the detection unit 8 does not detect a user trying to enter the landing.

 続いて、図4を用いて生成部9による軌道情報の生成を説明する。
 図4は、実施の形態1に係る生成部による軌道情報の生成の例を示す図である。
Subsequently, generation of the trajectory information by the generation unit 9 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of generation of trajectory information by the generation unit according to the first embodiment.

 図4の上側のグラフにおいて、縦軸は、呼び制御部が受信部7から取得するRSSI値を表す。横軸は、受信部7から無線タグ4までの水平距離を表す。 に お い て In the upper graph of FIG. 4, the vertical axis represents the RSSI value acquired by the call control unit from the receiving unit 7. The horizontal axis represents the horizontal distance from the receiving unit 7 to the wireless tag 4.

 RSSI値は、受信部7から無線タグ4までの距離などに依存する。RSSI値は、受信部7から無線タグ4までの距離が短いほど、大きい値となる。このため、無線タグ4が床面からの高さが一定の軌道上を移動している場合でも、RSSI値は、受信部7から無線タグ4までの水平距離によって変化する。そこで、生成部9は、無線タグ4が床面からの高さが一定の軌道上を移動している場合にRSSI値が一定になるように、受信部7から無線タグ4までの水平距離によってRSSI値を正規化する。受信部7から無線タグ4までの水平距離は、無線タグ4の位置情報に基づいて算出される。 The RSSI value depends on the distance from the receiving unit 7 to the wireless tag 4 and the like. The RSSI value increases as the distance from the receiving unit 7 to the wireless tag 4 decreases. For this reason, even when the wireless tag 4 is moving on a track whose height from the floor is constant, the RSSI value changes depending on the horizontal distance from the receiving unit 7 to the wireless tag 4. Therefore, the generation unit 9 determines the horizontal distance from the reception unit 7 to the wireless tag 4 so that the RSSI value is constant when the wireless tag 4 is moving on a track with a constant height from the floor. Normalize the RSSI value. The horizontal distance from the receiving unit 7 to the wireless tag 4 is calculated based on the position information of the wireless tag 4.

 図4の下側のグラフにおいて、縦軸は、正規化されたRSSI値を表す。横軸は、受信部7から無線タグ4までの水平距離を表す。 に お い て In the lower graph of FIG. 4, the vertical axis represents the normalized RSSI value. The horizontal axis represents the horizontal distance from the receiving unit 7 to the wireless tag 4.

 無線タグ4の床面上の水平方向の位置によるRSSI値への影響は、正規化によって補正される。このため、正規化されたRSSI値は、無線タグ4の床面上の水平方向の位置によらない、無線タグ4の床面からの高さの情報を表す。生成部9は、無線タグ4が水平方向に移動している場合に、無線タグ4の位置情報とともに時刻の情報を取得する。生成部9は、軌道情報として、無線タグ4の床面からの高さの情報と時刻の情報とから、無線タグ4の床面からの高さの時間に対する変化を表す情報を生成する。 (4) The influence of the horizontal position of the wireless tag 4 on the floor surface on the RSSI value is corrected by normalization. For this reason, the normalized RSSI value represents information on the height of the wireless tag 4 from the floor surface, regardless of the horizontal position on the floor surface of the wireless tag 4. When the wireless tag 4 is moving in the horizontal direction, the generation unit 9 acquires the time information together with the position information of the wireless tag 4. The generation unit 9 generates information representing a change in the height of the wireless tag 4 from the floor with respect to time from the information on the height of the wireless tag 4 from the floor and the information on the time as the track information.

 続いて、図5を用いて判定部11による判定を説明する。
 図5は、実施の形態1に係る判定部による判定の例を示す図である。
Subsequently, the determination by the determination unit 11 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of a determination by the determining unit according to the first embodiment.

 図5の上側のグラフにおいて、横軸は、生成部9が生成した軌道情報が表す軌道の振動の振幅をあらわす。 に お い て In the upper graph of FIG. 5, the horizontal axis represents the amplitude of the vibration of the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9.

 ここで、振動の振幅は、軌道情報において振動する量の最大値を基準とした当該振動する量の最小値のレベル表現として算出される。例えば軌道情報が正規化されたRSSI値によって表されているときに、振動の振幅は、正規化されたRSSI値の最小値と最大値との差である。 Here, the amplitude of the vibration is calculated as a level expression of the minimum value of the amount of vibration with reference to the maximum value of the amount of vibration in the trajectory information. For example, when the trajectory information is represented by a normalized RSSI value, the amplitude of the vibration is the difference between the minimum value and the maximum value of the normalized RSSI value.

 例えば無線タグ4が車椅子12の車輪14に設けられるときに、基準記憶部10が記憶する基準において、振動の振幅の許容範囲が設定される。この例において、許容範囲は-13dBから-7dBまでの間の範囲である。生成部9が生成した軌道情報が表す軌道の振動の振幅が当該許容範囲に含まれるときに、判定部11は、当該軌道が当該基準に適合するとの判定を行う。 For example, when the wireless tag 4 is provided on the wheel 14 of the wheelchair 12, the allowable range of the amplitude of the vibration is set based on the reference stored in the reference storage unit 10. In this example, the tolerance range is between -13 dB and -7 dB. When the amplitude of the vibration of the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 is included in the permissible range, the determination unit 11 determines that the trajectory meets the criterion.

 図5の下側のグラフにおいて、横軸は、生成部9が生成した軌道情報が表す軌道の振動の周波数をあらわす。 In the lower graph of FIG. 5, the horizontal axis represents the frequency of the orbital vibration represented by the orbital information generated by the generating unit 9.

 例えば無線タグ4が車椅子12の車輪14に設けられるときに、基準記憶部10が記憶する基準において、振動の周波数の許容範囲が設定される。この例において、許容範囲は30周期/minから50周期/minまでの間の範囲である。生成部9が生成した軌道情報が表す軌道の振動の周波数が当該許容範囲に含まれるときに、判定部11は、当該軌道が当該基準に適合するとの判定を行う。 For example, when the wireless tag 4 is provided on the wheel 14 of the wheelchair 12, the allowable range of the vibration frequency is set based on the reference stored in the reference storage unit 10. In this example, the allowable range is a range between 30 cycles / min and 50 cycles / min. When the vibration frequency of the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 falls within the allowable range, the determination unit 11 determines that the trajectory meets the criterion.

 あるいは、例えば無線タグ4が車椅子12のハンドル13に設けられるときに、基準記憶部10が記憶する基準において、無線タグ4の高さの許容範囲が設定される。無線タグ4の高さは、例えば正規化されたRSSI値によって表される。生成部9が生成した軌道情報が表す無線タグ4の高さが当該許容範囲に含まれるときに、判定部11は、当該軌道が当該基準に適合するとの判定を行う。 Alternatively, for example, when the wireless tag 4 is provided on the handle 13 of the wheelchair 12, the allowable range of the height of the wireless tag 4 is set based on the reference stored in the reference storage unit 10. The height of the wireless tag 4 is represented by, for example, a normalized RSSI value. When the height of the wireless tag 4 represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 is included in the permissible range, the determination unit 11 determines that the trajectory meets the criterion.

 続いて、図6を用いて利用者認識システム1の動作を説明する。
 図6は、実施の形態1に係る利用者認識システムの動作の例を示すフローチャートである。
Next, the operation of the user recognition system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

When the result of the determination is Yes, the operation of the user recognition system 1 proceeds to step ST4. When the determination result is No, the call control device 6 discards the identification information and the position information acquired from the receiving unit 7. Thereafter, the operation of the user recognition system 1 ends.

 ステップST4において、生成部9は、受信部7から取得したRSSI値および位置情報から軌道情報を生成する。その後、利用者認識システム1の動作は、ステップST5に進む。 In step ST4, the generation unit 9 generates trajectory information from the RSSI value and the position information acquired from the reception unit 7. Thereafter, the operation of the user recognition system 1 proceeds to step ST5.

 ステップST5において、判定部11は、生成部9が生成した軌道情報に表される軌道が基準記憶部10に記憶される基準に適合するかを判定する。判定結果がYesの場合に、利用者認識システム1の動作は、ステップST6に進む。判定結果がNoの場合に、利用者認識システム1の動作は、ステップST7に進む。 In step ST5, the determination unit 11 determines whether the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 matches the criterion stored in the criterion storage unit 10. If the result of the determination is Yes, the operation of the user recognition system 1 proceeds to step ST6. When the result of the determination is No, the operation of the user recognition system 1 proceeds to step ST7.

 ステップST6において、判定部11は、生成部9が生成した軌道情報に表される軌道が適合した基準に対応する呼びモードを指定する。その後、判定部11は、指定した呼びモードを登録部3に通知する。その後、利用者認識システム1の動作は、終了する。 In step ST6, the determination unit 11 specifies a call mode corresponding to a criterion to which the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 conforms. After that, the determination unit 11 notifies the registration unit 3 of the specified call mode. Thereafter, the operation of the user recognition system 1 ends.

 ステップST7において、判定部11は、通常の呼びモードを指定する。その後、判定部11は、指定した呼びモードを登録部3に通知する。その後、利用者認識システム1の動作は、終了する。 判定 In step ST7, the determination unit 11 specifies a normal call mode. After that, the determination unit 11 notifies the registration unit 3 of the specified call mode. Thereafter, the operation of the user recognition system 1 ends.

 以上に説明したように、実施の形態1に係る利用者認識システム1は、無線タグ4と、受信部7と、生成部9と、判定部11と、を備える。無線タグ4は、利用者の移動補助具に設けられる。受信部7は、無線タグ4から利用者を識別する識別情報を受信する。受信部7は、無線タグ4の位置情報を取得する。生成部9は、受信部7が取得した位置情報から無線タグ4の軌道情報を生成する。判定部11は、生成部9が生成した軌道情報に表される軌道が予め登録される基準に適合するかの判定を行う。判定部11は、呼びを登録するために当該判定に基づいて呼びモードを指定する。 As described above, the user recognition system 1 according to the first embodiment includes the wireless tag 4, the receiving unit 7, the generating unit 9, and the determining unit 11. The wireless tag 4 is provided on a user's movement assisting device. The receiving unit 7 receives identification information for identifying a user from the wireless tag 4. The receiving unit 7 acquires the position information of the wireless tag 4. The generating unit 9 generates orbit information of the wireless tag 4 from the position information acquired by the receiving unit 7. The determination unit 11 determines whether the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 matches the criteria registered in advance. The determination unit 11 specifies a call mode based on the determination to register a call.

 無線タグ4は、無線タグ4が設けられる移動補助具の種類および部分に応じて、特有の軌道上を移動する。このため、エレベータの乗場に進入しようとして移動補助具を用いて移動する利用者の自然な動作によって、エレベータのかごに呼びが登録される。これにより、利用者は、予め定められた区域で呼びの登録のための予め定められた動作をすることなく、エレベータを利用するために移動補助具を用いて接近する動作によって呼びを登録できる。 The wireless tag 4 moves on a specific trajectory according to the type and part of the movement assisting tool on which the wireless tag 4 is provided. For this reason, the call is registered in the elevator car by the natural movement of the user who moves using the movement assisting tool to enter the elevator hall. Thereby, the user can register the call by the operation of approaching using the elevator to use the elevator without performing the predetermined operation for registering the call in the predetermined area.

 利用者の呼びが登録されるかごは、呼びモードに基づいて動作の制御が行われる。呼びモードは、利用者の移動補助具の使用の有無および移動補助具の種類などの情報を含む。また、利用者の呼びは、利用者の移動とともに移動する無線タグ4の軌道情報に基づいて行われる。このため、利用者は、カードをかざすなどの呼びの登録のための動作をすることなく、使用している移動補助具に対応して運転されるかごを利用できる。これにより、利用者の利便性が高くなる。車椅子12などの移動補助具に搭乗している利用者および車椅子12を押している利用者などの負担が緩和される。また、利用者は、呼びの登録がスムーズにできる。このため、セキュリティゲート5に連動するエレベータシステム2などにおいて生じる利用者の渋滞が緩和される。 ご The operation of the car in which the user's call is registered is controlled based on the call mode. The call mode includes information such as whether or not the user uses the movement aid and the type of the movement aid. Further, the call of the user is made based on the trajectory information of the wireless tag 4 that moves with the movement of the user. For this reason, the user can use the car that is driven in accordance with the moving aid used, without performing a call registration operation such as holding a card. As a result, convenience for the user is improved. The burden on a user riding on a mobility aid such as the wheelchair 12 and a user pushing the wheelchair 12 is reduced. Also, the user can register the call smoothly. For this reason, traffic congestion of the user that occurs in the elevator system 2 linked to the security gate 5 is reduced.

 利用者認識システム1は、無線タグ4からの無線信号に基づいて呼びモードを指定する。このため、利用者認識システム1は、カメラを必要としない。 The user recognition system 1 specifies a call mode based on a wireless signal from the wireless tag 4. For this reason, the user recognition system 1 does not require a camera.

 また、無線タグ4は、移動補助具である車椅子12の車輪14に設けられる。 無線 The wireless tag 4 is provided on the wheel 14 of the wheelchair 12, which is a movement aid.

 無線タグ4は、車輪14とともに回転する。車輪14が安定して回転して移動しているときに、無線タグ4の軌道の振動は安定する。これによって、判定部11による判定の精度が高められる。 The wireless tag 4 rotates together with the wheels 14. When the wheels 14 are rotating and moving stably, the vibration of the track of the wireless tag 4 is stabilized. Thereby, the accuracy of the determination by the determination unit 11 is improved.

 また、利用者認識システム1は、検出部8を備える。検出部8は、受信部7が無線タグ4から受信する信号の強度に基づいてエレベータの乗場に進入しようとする利用者を検出する。生成部9は、検出部8が利用者を検出する場合に軌道情報を生成する。 (4) The user recognition system 1 includes the detection unit 8. The detection unit 8 detects a user who is going to enter the elevator hall based on the intensity of the signal received by the reception unit 7 from the wireless tag 4. The generation unit 9 generates trajectory information when the detection unit 8 detects a user.

 生成部9は、乗場に進入しようとする意思があると検出部8に判定された利用者の無線タグ4について軌道情報を生成する。これにより、不要な軌道情報の生成が省かれる。 The generator 9 generates trajectory information for the wireless tag 4 of the user determined by the detector 8 to have an intention to enter the landing. As a result, generation of unnecessary trajectory information is omitted.

 また、生成部9は、受信部7が無線タグ4から受信する信号の強度と位置情報とから軌道情報を生成する。 {Circle around (4)} The generator 9 generates orbit information from the intensity of the signal received by the receiver 7 from the wireless tag 4 and the position information.

 例えば屋内測位システムなどにおいて、高い精度の位置情報が得られない場合がある。このとき、位置情報の高さ方向の精度が単独では十分でない場合においても、生成部9は、位置情報と無線信号の強度の変化の情報とを組み合わせることによって、軌道情報の精度を高めることができる。 For example, in an indoor positioning system, etc., high-accuracy position information may not be obtained. At this time, even when the accuracy in the height direction of the position information alone is not sufficient, the generation unit 9 can improve the accuracy of the trajectory information by combining the position information and the information of the change in the strength of the wireless signal. it can.

 また、判定部11は、生成部9が生成した軌道情報に表される軌道の振動の振幅が予め登録される基準において設定される範囲の内にある場合に、当該軌道が当該基準に適合するとの判定を行う。この場合に、判定部11は、当該基準に対応する呼びモードを指定する。 In addition, when the amplitude of the vibration of the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 is within the range set by the reference registered in advance, the determination unit 11 determines that the trajectory matches the criterion. Is determined. In this case, the determination unit 11 specifies a call mode corresponding to the criterion.

 振動の振幅は、振動する量の最大値および最小値によって算出できる。判定部11は、画像認識などの処理を必要としない。このため、判定部11は、判定に伴う計算量を抑えられる。 振幅 Vibration amplitude can be calculated from the maximum and minimum values of the amount of vibration. The determination unit 11 does not require processing such as image recognition. Therefore, the determination unit 11 can reduce the amount of calculation involved in the determination.

 また、判定部11は、生成部9が生成した前記軌道情報に表される軌道の振動の周波数が予め登録される基準において設定される範囲の内にある場合に、当該軌道が当該基準に適合するとの判定を行う。この場合に、判定部11は、当該基準に対応する呼びモードを指定する。 In addition, when the frequency of the vibration of the trajectory represented by the trajectory information generated by the generation unit 9 is within a range set in a reference registered in advance, the determination unit 11 determines that the trajectory conforms to the criterion. Then, the judgment is made. In this case, the determination unit 11 specifies a call mode corresponding to the criterion.

 振動の周波数は、振動する量の値の列によって算出できる。判定部11は、画像認識などの処理を必要としない。このため、判定部11は、判定に伴う計算量を抑えられる。 The frequency of vibration can be calculated from a sequence of values of the amount of vibration. The determination unit 11 does not require processing such as image recognition. Therefore, the determination unit 11 can reduce the amount of calculation involved in the determination.

 無線タグ4の位置情報は、位置検出装置によって取得されるものでもよい。位置検出装置は、例えば玄関階に設けられる。位置検出装置は、例えば無線タグ4から送信される無線信号を受信する複数の受信機であってもよい。このとき、無線タグ4は、位置情報を取得しなくてもよい。この場合、受信部7は、位置検出装置から無線タグ4の位置情報を取得する。 位置 The position information of the wireless tag 4 may be obtained by a position detecting device. The position detecting device is provided, for example, on the entrance floor. The position detecting device may be, for example, a plurality of receivers that receive a wireless signal transmitted from the wireless tag 4. At this time, the wireless tag 4 does not need to acquire the position information. In this case, the receiving unit 7 acquires the position information of the wireless tag 4 from the position detecting device.

 呼び制御装置6は、利用者の識別情報に行先階の情報を関連付けて記憶してもよい。呼び制御装置6は、指定された呼びモードとともに行先階の情報を登録部3に通知してもよい。登録部3は、行先階への呼びを同時に登録してもよい。 The call control device 6 may store the user identification information in association with the destination floor information.
