Abstract
Elevator reassignment information is communicated to passengers in a group elevator system (). The group elevator system () includes a group of elevators (, 14, 14) that is operable to transport each of the passengers to one of a plurality of floors (L, F, F, F, F). A destination entry input device () at each floor permits each passenger to enter destination input information. A dispatch controller () assigns an elevator to each passenger based on the destination input information. When service of a dispatched elevator is terminated, a communication device () communicates elevator reassignment instructions to passengers assigned to or located in the dispatched elevator.
