DESCRIPTION

INFOPMATION DISPLAY IN ELEVATOR CAR

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001]

The present invention relates to an information display of an elevator, and in particular, to a display in an elevator car for displaying various types of information.

BACKGROUND ART

[0002]

In general, an operation panel is provided on one side of an entrance in an elevator car. When operating floor operation buttons that are provided in the operation panel, the floor operation buttons are turned on, and stop floors are registered and the registered stop floors are displayed. In a large elevator, a stop floor display unit including a plurality of floor display lighting units is provided on an upper portion of the entrance, and displays a scheduled stop floor instructed by the operation panel or a current car position.

[0003]

However, in this conventional example, there is a problem in that it is difficult to accurately discern a scheduled stop floor and a current car position. Accordingly, a technology that installs an information display unit instead of a stop floor display unit provided on an upper portion of an entrance and displays a next stop floor as letter information in the information display unit has been suggested. Further, a technology that provides a new information display unit on an upper portion of an operation panel and displays a
next stop floor or various types of information has been suggested.

DISCLOSUPE OF THE INVENTION PROBLEMS TO BE SOLVED BY THE INVENTION [0006]

In these kinds of elevators, it is important to allow a user to easily discern a scheduled stop floor instructed by the user using an operation panel and a current car position. For this reason, it is effective to use a technology that provides an information display unit on which letters or the like can be displayed, instead of the technology according to the related art that turns on a plurality of floor operation buttons or a floor display lighting unit.

[0007]

However, in the conventional example, since a scheduled stop floor and a current car position are separately displayed on an upper portion of an entrance and an upper portion of an operation panel, it is very difficult for a user to accurately discern the scheduled stop floor and the current car position.

[0008]

Accordingly, an object of the invention is to provide an
information display in an elevator car that can efficiently display various types of sub—information including a scheduled stop floor and a current car position using one information display.

MEANS OF SOLVING THE PROBLEMS

[0009]

In order to achieve the above—described object, in this invention, there is provided an information display in an elevator car that includes an operation panel having a display unit and a stop floor input unit and a control unit, which is connected to various sensors and the operation panel and displays information on the display unit. The display unit displays a first display screen that uses an entire screen of the display unit as a display area and a second display screen that includes a first display area and a second display area, which are separated into upper and lower portions. The control unit displays a current position display, a moving direction display, and a scheduled stop floor display on the first display screen, changes a screen from the first display screen to the second display screen on the basis of the predetermined input signals, displays the current position display, the moving direction display, and the scheduled stop floor display on the first display area, and displays information associated with the input signals on the second display area.

EFFECT OF THE INVENTION

[0010]

According to the invention, it is possible to provide an information display in an elevator car for displaying various types
of sub—information including a scheduled stop floor and a current position with high efficiency using one information display.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0011]

Hereinafter, an elevator system according to an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 8. At this time, the same portions or directions are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the repetitive description will be omitted.

[00121

First, referring to Fig. 1, an information display in an elevator car according to the invention will be described. Fig. 1 is a system confignration diagram schematically showing an elevator system according to this embodiment.

[0013]

In Fig. 1, in this embodiment, the elevator system includes a center 51 that is connected to a network 50 through a public telephone circuit, and a plurality of buildings 100 that are connected to the center 51 through the network 51. In this case, only one building 100 is shown in order to simplify the description.

[0014]

The center 51 includes a controller that includes a plurality of servers (not shown), and can obtain information from an individual building 100 or various information providing systems (not shown) and provide the obtained information to an individual building or all buildings, or to a person in charge of elevator maintenance.

[0015]

The building 100 includes a plurality of elevator towers 130, a
plurality of floor units 150 that are disposed on an elevator floor adjacent to the plurality of elevator towers 130, and an elevator control device 110 that generally controls the plurality of elevator towers 130 and the plurality of floor units 150. In order to simplify the description, in Fig. 1, only one elevator tower 130 and one floor unit 150 are shown.

[0016]

The elevator tower 130 includes a driving motor 131 and an elevating unit 132 that are formed thereon. The elevating unit 132 includes a speed regulator 125 that controls an elevating speed, and a car 160 is suspended from the elevating unit 132 through a rope. Various sensors are disposed in the vicinity of the elevator tower 130 and the car 160 while the sensors are connected to the elevator control device 110.

[0017]

An operation panel 162 that includes a display unit 163 and an input unit 164 is provided on one side of the entrance 161 in the car

160. Specifically, the operation panel 162 includes the display unit

163 that displays various types of information, the input unit 164 that includes operation buttons operated by a user, and a car control unit 162 that controls the input unit 164 and the display unit 163. The operation panel 162 is provided in a band shape at a position that reaches from the center of one side of the entrance 161 to a ceiling surface. The operation panel 162 includes a plurality of panels that include a display panel having the display unit 163 and an input panel having the input unit 164 and are vertically separated.

[0018]

In this embodiment, the overall control unit 111 performs a

display control operation on the display unit 161, but the display control operation may be performed by the car control unit 162 or both the overall control unit 111 and the car control unit 162.

[0019]

The floor unit 150 includes a call button 151 that includes a pair of buttons used to designate a destination in upward and downward directions, and an arrival display unit 152 that informs the arrival.

[0020]

The elevator control device 110 includes an overall control unit 111 that controls the entire elevator system in a building, a storage unit 112 that stores various types of data, a power supply 113, and a comunication unit 114 that is used for connection to the center 51. In this case, the elevator control device 110 is connected to a plurality of sensors through comunication lines. In the elevator control device 110 shown in Fig. 1, various sensors shown by dotted lines are shown to be included in the elevator control device for better understanding of description. However, the various sensors are actually disposed in the elevator tower 130, the building 100 where the elevator tower 130 is disposed, or the center 51. In this embodiment, the elevator control device 110 is connected to a position detector 120 that detects the current position of the car 160 in the elevator 130, a weight sensor 121 that detects a laden weight in the car 160, an open/closure sensor 122 that detects whether the entrance 161 is opened or closed, a fire sensor 123 that is disposed in the building 100, an earthquake sensor 124 that is disposed in the building 100 or the center 51, and a speed regulator that adjusts a moving speed of the car 160.
[0021]

In addition, one of main characteristics of the elevator system according to this embodiment is that various types of information provided in the car 160 is collectively displayed on the display unit 163, which makes it possible to the various types of information to a user in such a way that the user does not need to move his/her eyes. That is, the display unit that is disposed in the elevator car according to the related art displays information of a following scheduled stop floor as letter information, but does not display all information. For this reason, the user should confirm lightening of the floor operation buttons of the operation panel or the stop floor display unit. In this embodiment, these problems in the related art can be resolved. In addition, since a large amount of information can be displayed on the display unit 163, another display unit does not need to be additionally provided, thereby reducing costs and simplifying the structure.

[0022]

One of the other main characteristics according to this embodiment is that the display unit 163 can display a first display screen 200 that uses an entire screen as a display area and a second display screen 300 that includes a first display area 301 and a second display area 302, which are separated into upper and lower portions, thereby displaying necessary information in accordance with a utilization state such that a user can easily view the information.

[0023]

Specifically, the elevator control device 110 displays the first display screen 200 in a general display. In the first display screen 200, the elevator control device 110 displays a moving direction
display 201 of the car 160, a current position display 202, a

scheduled stop floor display 204, and a guidance display 203 in a

large size. In addition, if receiving a predetermined input signal

from the sensors, the elevator control device 110 changes the display

from the first display screen 200 to the second display screen 300,

and compressively displays contents of the first display screen 200

on the first display area 301 and displays information 303

corresponding to the input signal on the second display area 302.

Fig. 1 shows a state where time for which a door of the entrance 161

is opened is graphically displayed.

[0024]

As a result, information that is often used can always be displayed, and information that is needed in only a specific utilization state can be displayed in accordance with a situation thereof. In this embodiment, if an open extension button (not shown) that is provided in the operation panel 162 is operated, an input signal indicating an excessive weight is received from the weight sensor 121, or an input signal indicating an excessive predetermined value is received from the seismic intensity sensor 124, the elevator control device changes the display from the first display screen 200 to the second display screen 300 and displays information 303 associated with the input signal on the second display area 302.

Further, in this embodiment, it is possible to omit the scheduled stop floor display 204 that is displayed on the first display screen 200.

[0025]

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be specifically described with reference to the arrangement diagram of the display
unit shown in Fig. 2, the operational flowchart shown in Fig. 6, and the display screen examples shown in Figs. 3 to 5 and 7 and 8.

[0026]

In Fig. 2, in this embodiment, as the display unit 163, a rectangular thin display panel, which has a long side having the length Li of 184 rm'~ and a short side having the length L2 of 139.8 mm, is disposed vertically long. In this embodiment, an effective display area has a size of 153.7 rrm x 115.8 mm, a dot configuration is (640 x R. G. B) x 480 dots, a dot pitch is 0.079 x 0.237, and a display mode is a normally white dot matrix color TFT-LCD module.

[0027]

In this embodiment, in view of the following considerations of (1) that the display unit 163 is disposed next to the entrance 161, (2) that the display unit 163 needs to be disposed on an upper side of the car 160 such that a standing user can view the display unit over a head of another user, and (3) that the elevator is movable in a vertical direction, a thin display panel, which is generally horizontally long, is disposed vertically long.

[0028]

Further, there are cases in which a liquid crystal display panel that is used as this kind of thin display unit is designed, such that a viewing angle becomes different depending on a viewing direction of the display panel. In this embodiment, this generally used display unit where a viewing angle becomes different depending on a viewing direction is adopted as the display unit 163 of the elevator so as to reduce manufacturing costs. Focusing on that the display unit used for the elevator is disposed to be inclined to one side of the entrance 163, the inventors devised a technology in which a display
unit having a narrow viewing angle at one long side and a wide viewing angle at the other long side is selected among display units designed such that a viewing angle becomes different, and is disposed such that a viewing angle is narrow at the side of a wall surface of the car 160 but wide at the side of the entrance 163 opposite to the wall surface. For example, in this embodiment, a viewing angle is set to 50 degrees at the side of the wall surface, 70 degrees at the side of the entrance opposite to the wall surface, and 70 degrees at the upper and lower sides. As a result, it is possible to improve visibility of a user who is located at the side of the entrance 161 opposite to the display unit 163.

[0029]

In this embodiment, the display unit 163 is disposed vertically long. In general, since a user who uses the elevator recognizes that the user moves in a vertical direction, information displayed on the display unit 163 is displayed in consideration of the recognition from the user, which makes it possible for the user to easily view the corresponding information. Accordingly, in this embodiment, in consideration of the elevator tower 130 being vertically long, a vertically long display unit 163, which can display a large amount of information while still being able to visually be seen by the user, is adopted.

[0030]

Meanwhile, since information corresponding to the predetermined input signal from the sensors includes letter information or the like, a display area that is horizontally long is preferable. That is, letter information of recent Japanese writings or English writings is generally written in a horizontal direction, and thus a horizontally

long space is effective. Accordingly, in this embodiment, the display screen of the vertically long display unit is separated into two portions, that is, upper and lower portions, and information that is associated with the input signal is displayed in one horizontally long space.

[0031]

In the elevator, the current position, the scheduled stop floor, and the moving direction are information that a user always needs. In the display unit that is disposed at a position where a user views, the user can easily view information displayed at an upward position more than information displayed at a downward position. Accordingly, in this embodiment, information that is often used is displayed on the first display area 301 and information that is displayed only if necessary is displayed on the second display area 302.

[0032]

Next, a screen change of the first display screen will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 5. In Fig. 3, in this embodiment, if the first display screen 200 is displayed, the current position display 202 and the moving direction display 201 are displayed on one side of the vertically long display screen, the scheduled stop floor display 204 is displayed on the other side, and the guidance display 203 is displayed on a lower end of the vertically long display screen. In this embodiment, the moving direction display 201 is displayed by an arrow. In this case, in regards to the current position display 202 and the moving direction display 201, as shown in Fig. 3(a), if the moving direction is an upward direction, the moving direction display 201 is displayed over the current position display 202. As shown in Fig. 3(b), if the
moving direction is a downward direction, the display positions of the current position display and the moving direction display are inverted and the current position display and the moving direction display are displayed.

[0033]

Further, in regards to the guidance display 203, in accordance with an operation state of the elevator, the elevator control device 1110 selects proper data from data that is stored in the storage unit

112 and displays the selected data. If the scheduled stop floor display 204 is operated by the input unit 141, the input and registered scheduled stop floors are stacked sequentially in a vertical direction. This display state will be described with reference to Fig. 4.

[0034]

In Fig. 4, in this embodiment, one scheduled stop floor display 204 is displayed as a rectangular block. For example, as shown in Fig. 4(a), if a user operates a [17]—th floor operation button using the input unit 164, a block where a numerical value of [17] is displayed is displayed on the upper left of the display unit. If 13— th and 14—th floor operation buttons are operated, blocks corresponding to the floors are displayed in a stacked type. In this case, even though the floor operation buttons are randomly operated, the scheduled stop floor display 204 displays the floors in a line such that upper level floors of the building are displayed at the upper sides.

[0035]

However, as shown in Fig. 4(b), if a plurality of scheduled stop floor displays 204 are registered, blocks cannot be displayed in a
stacked type even in the vertically long display unit 163. Accordingly, in this embodiment, if the number of registered scheduled stop floor displays 204 becomes equal to or larger than the predetermined number, as shown in Fig. 4(b), the blocks are separated into a scheduled stop floor display 205 as a general block display and a scheduled stop floor display 206 whose block size is smaller than that of the scheduled stop floor display 205, and then displayed in a stacked type.

[0036]

For example, in this embodiment, as shown in Fig. 4(b), if five or more scheduled stop floors are registered, the blocks cannot be displayed to have a general block size. Therefore, as shown in Fig. 4 (c), scheduled stop floors of the predetermined number (three in this embodiment) that are close to the current floor are displayed to have a general block size, and scheduled stop floors other than the scheduled stop floors of the predetermined number are displayed to have a smaller block size.

[0037]

Fig. 4 shows the display at the time of the upward movement, but in the case of the display at the time of the downward movement, the scheduled stop floor displays 205 and 206 are displayed in a state where the positions thereof are inverted.

[0038]

As such, according to the first display screen 200, since the moving direction display 201 and the current position display 202 are displayed to have a large size, a user can clearly recognize the contents thereof. If stop floors are instructed by using the operation panel 162 according to a general utilization type of the
elevator, the stop floors are displayed in a stacked type on one side of the current position display 202 according to the order of the floors in the building, and thus the user can easily recognize the floors. Even when there are a large amount of scheduled stop floors, the scheduled stop floors that are close to the current position are displayed by large blocks, and the scheduled stop floors that are far from the current position are displayed by small blocks. Therefore, the user can easily recognize the floors. The scheduled stop floor display 206 is displayed to have a small size and it is hard to view the scheduled stop floor display. However, among the scheduled stop floors, the floors that are close to the current floor are displayed to have a general large size, which does not become a problem.

[0039]

Next, display contents in regards to the movement of the elevator will be described with reference to Fig. 5. If a user registers a stop floor using the operation panel 162, as shown in Fig. 5 (a), the moving direction display 201, the current position display

202, and the scheduled stop floor display 204 are displayed on one display screen. Then, if a predetermined time passes, the elevator control device 110 displays a message indicating that [door closing] on the guidance display 203 to call a user's attention and performs a control operation such that the door is closed.

[0040]
Then, if the door is closed, the elevator control device 110 changes the display from the scheduled stop floor display 204 to the driving state display 207, and displays a message of [next 10th floor] on the guidance display 203 to indicate a next scheduled stop floor. The display contents of the current position display 202 are
changed to correspond to the position of the car 160.

[0041]

Further, the driving state display 207 is displayed such that a plurality of rectangular blocks are stacked and floor states of a building are schematically shown. In the driving state display 207, a floor block 208 corresponding to the current position display 202 is displayed to discriminate from the other floor blocks, and scheduled stop floor marks 209 are displayed next to floor blocks that are registered as scheduled stop floors. The scheduled stop floor mark 209 is displayed even if it is called from the floor unit

150.

[0042]

In this embodiment, the displayed contents of the driving state display 207 can be selected at the time of initially setting display formats of Figs. 5(b) and 5(c). The display format shown in Fig. 5(a) is a display method in which blocks of the driving state display

207 that can be displayed on the first display screen 200 in a stacked type are sequentially changed. For example, in Fig. 5 (b), the floor block 208 becomes [9], but at a point of time when the elevator has passed the 10—th floor, the block of the driving state display 207 is changed for each of the blocks of [11, 12, 13, 14, and 15]. Meanwhile, the display format shown in Fig. 5(c) is a method in which the floor block 208 is always displayed on a lowermost portion (move upward) or an uppermost portion (move downward) of the blocks of the driving state display 207. According to an intermediate display format between the display formats shown in Fig. 5(b) and Fig. 5 (c), if the floor block 208 moves to the intermediate position of the driving state display 207, the block of the driving state display
207 may be delayed by a half and then displayed. That is, when displaying the driving state display 207, in a form including the floor block 208, the block of the driving state display 207 is changed or delayed and then displayed at any time.

[0043]

When the current position becomes close to the registered scheduled stop floor or the elevator is stopped and the door is opened, as shown in Fig. S (d), the elevator control device 110 displays a guidance message that [door openingi on the guidance display 203 to call a user's attention and opens the door.

[0044]

Next, the second display screen when a specific input signal is
received will be described using an operational flowchart of Fig. 6
and screen examples of Figs. 7 and 8.

[0045]

In Fig. 6, in this embodiment, if the elevator control device 110 receives input signals through various sensors or the operation panel 162 (Step 400), it is determined whether the corresponding input signals are input signals corresponding to the second display screen 300 (Step 401). In this embodiment, an operation signal from an open extension button that is provided in the operation panel 162, an input signal indicating an excessive weight from the weight sensor 121, an input signal indicating an excessive predetermined value from the seismic intensity sensor 124, and an input signal from the fire sensor 124 are set as signals that correspond to the second display screen 300.

[0046]

In Step 401, when it is determined that the input signals are
not the signals corresponding to the second display screen 300, the elevator control device 110 corrects contents that are displayed on the first display screen 200. Meanwhile, in Step 401, when it is determined that the input signals are the signals corresponding to the second display screen 300, the elevator control device changes screen contents from the first display screen 200 to the second display screen 300. In changing the screen contents, the screen contents may be changed in a moment, but in this embodiment, the first display screen 200 is gradually compressed toward the upper side to have the same size as the first display area 301 (Step 4044) in accordance with a compression operation. The elevator control device reads information 303 corresponding to the input signals from the storage unit 112 and displays the information on the second display area 302 that gradually expands (Step 405) so as to allow a user to recognize when the display contents are changed, which makes it possible to call the user's attention to the upper side 303.

[0047]

Further, the elevator control device 110 determines whether the input signal process is completed (Step 406), and when it is determined that the input signal process is completed, the elevator control device changes the screen from the second display screen 300 to the first display screen 200 and completes the process (Step 407). Meanwhile, when it is determined that the process is not completed in Step 406, the process proceeds to Step 405. In this embodiment, the steps shown in Fig. 6 are sequentially repeated and various types of information are displayed on the display unit 163.

[0048]

Next, the display contents of the second display screen 300

shown in Fig. 6 will be described in more detail with reference to Figs. 7 and 8.

[0049]

Fig. 7(a) shows a display screen when a signal having a predetermined weight or more is received from the weight sensor 121. If the elevator control device 110 receives the input signal from the weight sensor 121, the elevator control device 110 calls letter information 303a of [over loaded. The last passenger shall wait for the next elevator please.] from the storage unit 112 and displays the letter information on the second display area. Meanwhile, when no signal having the predetermined weight or more is received from the weight sensor 121, the elevator control device 110 extends the first display area downward and returns the screen to the original screen of the first display screen 100.

[0050]

The second display screen 300 shown in Fig. 7(b) shows a display screen in the case of receiving an input signal indicating that an open/closure extension button is operated from the operation panel

162. In this case, in addition to letter information 303b of [door opening time has been extended.], a time bar 303c is displayed on the second display area. In the time bar 303, in order that inclined portions gradually increase from the left to the right over time, the elevator control device 110 counts a time by a timer (not shown) and changes display contents. If the predetermined time passes, the elevator control device 110 changes the screen contents to the first display screen 200.

[0051]

Fig. 8(a) shows the second display screen 300 in the case where

an input signal is received from the fire sensor 124. In this case, letter information 303d of [fire emergency. Please get off when the door opens.] is displayed on the second display area 302. Also, if an input signal is received from the earthquake sensor 124, the same display contents as those shown in Fig. 8(a) are displayed.

[0052]

Meanwhile, in the above description, the display contents are changed from the first display screen to the second display screen on the basis of the predetermined input signals. However, with respect to the specific input signal, the third display screen 320 may be displayed. For example, if an interphone or an emergency call button that is provided in the operation panel 162 is operated and the corresponding signal is received by the elevator control device 110, the third display screen 320 shown in Fig. 8(b) is displayed. For example, Fig. 8(b) shows an example of the case where the interphone is operated. In this case, the elevator control device 110 displays the current position display 202 and the moving direction display 201 at an upper stage of the screen, the current process situation 321 at an intermediate stage, and guidance information 322 at a lower stage. During the process situation 321, the elevator control device displays information of [out of servicel, which indicates that the elevator is stopped, and then information of [calli, which indicates that the center 51 is called. If the center 51 and the communication line are opened for communication, the elevator control device displays information of [response] . The elevator control device follows the display contents of the process situation 321, and displays the guidance thereof on the guidance information 322.

In this embodiment, it is possible to omit the scheduled stop
floor display 204 that is displayed on the first display screen 200. Specifically, in an information display in an elevator car that includes an operation panel having a display unit and a stop floor input unit and a control unit connected to various sensors and the operation panel and displaying information on the display unit, the display unit can display a first display screen that uses the entire screen of the display unit as the display area and a second display screen including a first display area and a second display area to be separated into upper and lower portions. In the information display, the control unit displays the current position display and the moving direction display on the first display screen, changes the screen from the first display screen to the second display screen on the basis of the predetermined input signals, displays the current position display and the moving direction display on the first display area, and displays information associated with the input signals on the second display area 302. As a result, it is possible to provide an information display in an elevator car that is capable of efficiently displaying the current position of the car and various types of sub—information using one information display.
