Navigation terminal, system and method for taking elevator

An elevator taking user management system, which includes a detection apparatus, a processing module, and an output apparatus. The processing module is respectively electrically connected to the detection apparatus and the output apparatus. The detection apparatus detects the number of persons in an elevator waiting area; the processing module receives a signal at least indicating the detected number of persons sent by the detection apparatus, acquires the number of persons who have input target floors, further compares the detected number of persons with the number of persons who have input target floors at the floor where the detection apparatus is located, and when the detected number of persons is greater than the number of persons who have input target floors, sends a reminding signal; and the output apparatus is eclectically connected to the processing module, for receiving the reminding signal and presenting it in the elevator waiting area.
