Abstract

An elevator control system high in security and capable of enhancing operation efficiency is realized. In a system in which an elevator group management device which manages a plurality of elevators as a group is installed, a validation device is installed at a security gate installed at an entrance of a building, and when validation is made by the validation device, the security gate opens to allow a validated person to move to an elevator hall of an entrance floor, the elevator control system includes validation information transmission means which transmits validation information to a corresponding bank out of a plurality of banks of the elevator hall based on destination floor validation information of the validation device, indoor population counting means which counts indoor population of each floor from the validation information, car assigning means which assigns a car to each destination floor of a passenger from the validation information, destination floor display means which displays a destination floor on the entrance floor hall for each assigned car, and call automatic registration means which automatically registers a destination call of the destination floor in the car when detecting riding of the passenger.

Claims

1. An elevator control system in which an elevator group management device which manages a plurality of elevators as a group is installed, a validation device is installed at a security gate installed at an entrance of a building, and when validation is made by the validation device, the security gate opens to allow a validated person to move to an elevator hall of an entrance floor, characterized by comprising:

validation information transmission means which transmits validation information to a corresponding bank out of a plurality of banks of the elevator hall based on destination floor validation information of said validation device;

indoor population counting means which counts indoor population of each floor from said validation information;

car assigning means which assigns a car to each destination floor of a passenger from said validation information;

destination floor display means which displays a destination floor on the entrance floor elevator hall for each assigned car; and

call automatic registration means which automatically registers a destination call of the destination floor in the car when detecting riding of the passenger.

2. An elevator control system in which an elevator group management device which manages a plurality of elevators as a group is installed, a validation device is installed at a security gate installed at an entrance of a building, and when validation is made by the validation device, the security gate opens to allow a validated person to move to an elevator hall of an entrance floor, characterized by comprising:

validation information transmission means which transmits validation information to a corresponding bank out of a plurality of banks of the elevator hall based on destination floor validation information of said validation device;

car assigning means which assigns a car to each destination floor of a passenger from said validation information;

destination floor display means which displays a destination floor on the entrance floor elevator hall for each assigned car;

call automatic registration means which automatically registers a destination call of the destination floor in the car when detecting riding of the passenger; and

special operation selection means which selects an operation peculiar to a user from personal validation information of said validation device.

3. An elevator control system in which an elevator group management device which manages a plurality of elevators as a group is installed, a validation device is installed at a security gate installed at an entrance of a building, and when validation is made by the validation device, the security gate opens to allow a validated person to move to an elevator hall of an entrance floor, characterized by comprising:

validation information transmission means which transmits validation information to a corresponding bank out of a plurality of banks of the elevator hall based on destination floor validation information of said validation device;

car assigning means which assigns a car to each destination floor of a passenger from said validation information; and

standby time adjustment means which adjusts a door-opened standby time at the elevator hall of the entrance floor in accordance with a distance from said security gate to the corresponding bank.

4. An elevator control system in which an elevator group management device which manages a plurality of elevators as a group is installed, a validation device is installed at a security gate installed at an entrance of a building, and when validation is made by the validation device, the security gate to opens to allow a validated person to move to an elevator hall of an entrance floor, characterized by comprising:

validation information transmission means which transmits validation information to a corresponding bank out of a plurality of banks of the elevator hall based on destination floor validation information of said validation device;

car assigning means which assigns a car to each destination floor of a passenger from said validation information;
