There is provided an elevator guidance deviceincluding an identification information acquisition unitconfigured to acquire identification information for a user heading for an elevator hall, a selected elevator information acquisition unitconfigured to acquire information on a selected elevator selected from a plurality of elevators as an elevator for the user identified to take, and a guidance indication unitconfigured to indicate, in an indication mode associated with the user, a leading guidance sign on a route starting from a leading start position, at which leading of the user identified is started, to a landing entrance of the selected elevator, the leading guidance sign leading the user to the landing entrance of the selected elevator.

Vertical transportation machine guidance device and vertical transportation machine guidance method

An elevator control device recognizes a destination floor of a user from a voice of the user input to a voice input device, registers a voice car call corresponding to the recognized destination floor, generates stop floor information including a stop floor at which a car stops before the car arrives at the destination floor after the registration of the voice car call, and performs, as a voice announcement that follows the generated stop floor information, any one of a first announcement for notifying of the stop floor in order of floors at which the car stops and a second announcement for notifying of how many floors the car stops at before arriving at the destination floor.

Elevator control device and control method

There is provided an elevator control system capable of improving operation efficiency of an elevator. The elevator control system includes a processor; and a memory to store a program which performs processes of recognizing a floor based on information from in a car of an elevator during travel of the car, determining a destination floor based on the floor recognized, determining whether or not the destination floor determined during the travel of the car, and registering a call corresponding to the destination floor in the car during the travel of the car in a case where the destination floor is determined to be the stoppable floor. The program performs processes of, in a case where the destination floor is not determined to be the stoppable floor, registering the call corresponding to the destination floor in the car after the car responds to all calls registered in the car.

Elevator control system

An elevator group supervision controlling apparatus has a response time predicting means, a passenger movement estimating means, a standby time predicting means, a candidate car selecting means, an allocating means, and an instructing means. The response time predicting means predicts response time to a car call from a remote call registering apparatus for respective cars. The passenger movement estimating means estimates passenger moving time based on a positional relationship between the remote call registering apparatus and a landing. The standby time predicting means predicts the standby times of each of the cars based on the response time and the passenger moving time. The candidate car selecting means includes cars for which standby time is shorter than a predetermined time interval in candidate cars, and excludes cars for which standby time is greater than or equal to the predetermined time interval from the candidate cars. The allocating means decides an allocated car from among the candidate cars if at least one of the cars has been included in the candidate cars. The instructing means generates an informing instruction to communicate to the remote call registering apparatus reinput requesting information that recommends an input operation at the landing call registering apparatus if all of the cars are excluded from the candidate cars.
