For example, when the change of the authority is requested in the first terminal 10, the management device 100 starts the processing illustrated in
The application reception unit 112 executes application reception processing (step ST10).
Specifically, the application reception unit 112 receives the authority application from the first terminal 10 via the first communication unit 110, and checks the content of the authority application. The application reception unit 112 acquires the applicant identification information (tenant identification information) included in the authority application. In addition, the application reception unit 112 determines whether the application is an application for authorization or an application for authority return.
In the case of an authorization application, the application reception unit 112 notifies the approval confirmation unit 120 of the authorization application together with the applicant identification information (tenant identification information).
When the application is an application for authority return, the application reception unit 112 notifies the approval confirmation unit 120 of the authorization application together with the applicant identification information (tenant identification information). When the application is an application for authority return, the application reception unit 112 notifies the authority management unit 130 of the authorization application together with the applicant identification information (tenant identification information).
The approval confirmation unit 120 executes approval confirmation processing (step ST20).
The approval confirmation unit 120 confirms whether or not to approve the authority application received by the application reception unit 112 to the second terminal 20 which is a terminal for a facility manager. Specifically, the approval confirmation unit 120 outputs inquiry information for inquiring approval together with the applicant identification information (tenant identification information) to the second terminal 20 via the second presentation information generation unit 121 and the second communication unit 122.
As a result, the second terminal 20 presents a screen for approving the authority application. When the facility manager operates the screen of the second terminal 20, an approval signal indicating approval is output to the management device 100.
The approval confirmation unit 120 determines whether the facility manager has approved the application from the first terminal 10 (terminal for a facility user such as a tenant) (step ST30).
Specifically, the approval confirmation unit 120 waits for a response from the second terminal 20, and when receiving the approval information from the second terminal 20, determines that the facility manager has approved, and notifies the authority management unit 130 that the authority application has been approved.
On the other hand, in a case where the approval confirmation unit 120 receives the non-approval information indicating non-approval or, for example, in a case where the approval information has not been received within a predetermined constant time, the approval confirmation unit determines that the facility manager has not approved (step ST30 “NO”), and notifies the application reception unit 112 of the non-approval. In this case, the application reception unit 112 further outputs information indicating that the authorization application has not been approved to the first terminal 10 via the first presentation information generating unit 111 and the first communication unit 110. Thereafter, the processing illustrated in
In step ST30, when the approval confirmation unit 120 determines that the facility manager has approved (step ST30 “YES”), the authority management unit 130 executes authority change processing (step ST40).
Specifically, upon receiving the notification of the authority application from the approval confirmation unit 120, the authority management unit 130 updates the authority management database 31 according to the content of the authority application.
In accordance with the content of the authority application, the authority management unit 130 changes the authority presence/absence information in the authority management database 31 from “absent” to “present” to give the authority, and changes the authority presence/absence information from “present” to “absent” to release the authority.
Thereafter, the processing illustrated in
In this manner, authorization to the applicant (facility user including a tenant) or authority return from the applicant is performed.
Next, operation setting processing according to the present disclosure will be described.
Upon receiving a signal requesting operation setting from the first terminal 10, the management device 100 starts the processing illustrated in
The application reception unit 112 executes application reception processing (step ST110).
Specifically, the application reception unit 112 receives the operation setting application.
The application reception unit 112 determines whether the applicant who has applied (facility user including a tenant) has an application authority for the operation setting application (step ST120).
Specifically, the application reception unit 112 refers to the authority management database 31 using the tenant identification information and the operation setting information included in the operation setting application, and determines whether the authority is given.
When the application reception unit 112 determines that the applicant does not have authority (step ST120 “NO”), the flow illustrated in
If the application reception unit 112 determines that the applicant has authority (step ST120 “YES”), the control management unit 140 executes setting change processing (step ST130).
Specifically, the control management unit 140 updates the elevator operation setting database 32 using the user identification information (tenant identification information) and the operation setting information included in the operation setting application.
At this time, the update history database may also be updated.
When the control management unit 140 updates the elevator operation setting database 32, the processing illustrated in

The traffic volume of the elevator can be calculated in units of operation setting using data obtained from the elevator operation setting database 32.
The traffic volume of the elevator is represented by the number of people that can be transported, for example, for each elevator and for each date and time (time period). The traffic volume has a large numerical value in the case of a large elevator car, and has a small numerical value in the case of a small elevator car. In addition, when the use form is set to “priority use”, the transportation efficiency increases, and thus the numerical value of the traffic volume increases.
The rent calculating unit 151 calculates a rent or a management cost for each applicant (tenant) using the traffic volume calculated by the traffic volume calculating unit 150.
Specifically, the rent calculating unit 151 calculates the rent by increasing or decreasing only the rent (increase/decrease target rent) at a ratio determined for each tenant in the entire rent of the tenant according to the transportation efficiency for each tenant using the traffic volume.
Alternatively, the rent calculating unit 151 calculates the management cost by increasing or decreasing only the management cost (increase/decrease target management cost) at a ratio determined for each tenant in the entire management cost of the tenant according to the transportation efficiency for each tenant using the traffic volume.
In a case where the applicant is a facility user other than the tenant, the rent calculating unit 151 is replaced with a charge amount calculating unit 151′.
The charge amount calculating unit 151′ calculates the charge amount for each applicant (facility user including a tenant) using the traffic volume calculated by the traffic volume calculating unit 150.
Specifically, the charge amount calculating unit 151′ calculates the charge amount according to the transportation efficiency for each applicant using the traffic volume. The charge amount calculating unit 151′ may include the configuration of the rent calculating unit 151.
The transportation efficiency is, for example, a ratio between the traffic volume based on the current operation setting of the elevator and the traffic volume expected to increase or decrease due to the operation setting.
The ratio of an increase/decrease target charge (increase/decrease target rent) is a ratio set for each applicant such as a facility, a tenant, and an application company. The ratio is set depending on, for example, whether the facility is an upper layer, a middle layer, or a lower layer. The ratio is set depending on, for example, whether the applicant is a tenant resident in the facility or an external company. In addition, for example, the ratio is set depending on whether the use frequency of the elevator is high, medium, or low in the type of the applicant determined in advance for each applicant. Note that when the applicant is an external company, it can be said that the use is by a third party that is not incorporated in the facility-side traffic volume calculation. Therefore, when the applicant is an external company, the ratio of the increase/decrease target charge may be set high regardless of the degree of use frequency.
The ratio of the increase/decrease target charge is stored in, for example, the rent database 36 or the charging database 36A.
A specific example will be described.
An example in which the ratio between the traffic volume based on the current operation setting of the elevator and the traffic volume expected to increase or decrease due to the operation setting is 150% compared to the current time will be described.
The ratio of the increase/decrease target charge is set to ¼ (25%) with respect to the entire charge amount (the entire rent or the entire management cost).
In this case, the total charge amount (the entire rent or the entire management cost) increases by 150% from ¼ (25%) of the total charge amount (the entire rent or the entire management cost), and the total charge amount (the entire rent or the entire management cost) increases by 12.5% from the current total charge amount (the entire rent or the entire management cost) (0.25*1.50+0.75=1.125).
An example in which the ratio between the traffic volume based on the current operation setting of the elevator and the traffic volume expected to increase or decrease due to the application by the external company is 70% compared to the current time will be described.
The ratio of the increase/decrease target cost is set to ¼ (25%) with respect to the entire charge amount (the entire rent or the entire management cost).
In this case, it is a decrease of 70% from ¼ (25%) of the total charge amount (the entire rent or the entire management cost), and a cost reduction of 0.075% from the current total charge amount (the entire rent or the entire management cost) ((0.25*0.70+0.75)-1=−0.075). In the cost reduction, an amount of money that can be reduced to each company and tenant in the facility is charged to the external company.
In addition, the charge amount calculating unit 151′ may further calculate the charge amount (rent, management cost, or usage) for each applicant in consideration of the target charge amount of the entire facility set in advance by the facility manager.
The first presentation information generating unit 111A is obtained by adding a function to the first presentation information generating unit 111 illustrated in
The first presentation information generating unit 111A generates presentation information for the first terminal 10 by using the charge amount (“Tenant Rent” if the applicant is a tenant) calculated by the charge amount calculating unit 151′ (rent calculating unit 151), and outputs the presentation information to the first terminal 10.
Processing in the management device 100A will be described.
When operation is performed on the operation setting application screen in the first terminal 10, the management device 100A starts the processing illustrated in
When acquiring the operation setting information from the first terminal 10, the traffic volume calculating unit 150 executes traffic volume calculation processing (step ST210).
Specifically, the traffic volume calculating unit 150 acquires the operation setting information and information included in the elevator operation setting database 32 by referring to the elevator operation setting database 32 in the database unit 30, and calculates a traffic volume (current traffic volume) based on the current operation setting information and a traffic volume based on the operation setting information (changed traffic volume) acquired from the first terminal 10.
Next, the rent calculating unit 151 executes rent calculation processing (step ST220).
The rent calculating unit 151 acquires the current traffic volume and the changed traffic volume, and calculates the rent using the current traffic volume and the changed traffic volume.
In the case of the configuration including the charge amount calculating unit 151′, the charge amount calculating unit 151′ executes charge amount calculation processing (step ST220).
The charge amount calculating unit 151′ acquires the current traffic volume and the changed traffic volume, and calculates the charge amount using the current traffic volume and the changed traffic volume.
Next, the first presentation information generating unit 111A executes presentation information generation processing (step ST230).
Specifically, the first presentation information generating unit 111A acquires the current traffic volume, the changed traffic volume, and the rent from the rent calculating unit 151, and generates presentation information including a rent image indicating the rent on the basis of the current traffic volume, the changed traffic volume, and the rent. The first presentation information generating unit 111A outputs the generated presentation information to the first terminal 10 via the first communication unit 110.
In the case of the configuration including the charge amount calculating unit 151′, the first presentation information generating unit 111A acquires the current traffic volume, the changed traffic volume, and the charge amount from the charge amount calculating unit 151′, and generates presentation information including a charge amount image indicating the charge amount on the basis of the current traffic volume, the changed traffic volume, and the charge amount. The first presentation information generating unit 111A outputs the generated presentation information to the first terminal 10 via the first communication unit 110.
According to the configuration of the second embodiment, the charge amount such as the rent can be presented on the first terminal 10 according to the content of the operation setting set using the first terminal 10 that is the terminal for the facility user who is the applicant.
After the first presentation information generating unit 111A executes the presentation information generation processing, the processing illustrated in
The management information 1000 illustrated in
The management information 1000 indicates, in a certain facility (building), a traffic volume (stop efficiency) of the elevator and a house rent increase/decrease for each level in a state where the stop floor of the elevator is set by the applicant of each level. In addition, in the management information 1000, the traffic volume and the house rent increase/decrease are illustrated for each of a case of an elevator which is not controlled by a destination oriented allocation system (DOAS) and a case of an elevator which is controlled by the DOAS.
In the case of an uncontrolled elevator other than the DOAS, a bank in which a car is stopped at the nearest floor is designated to a floor to be preferentially used, and the car is preferentially sent.
On the other hand, in the case of the DOAS-controlled elevator, since the vertical movement can be flexibly set even for the cars in the same bank, it is possible to increase the priority of the stop floor by preferentially sending the car stopped at the nearest floor without designating the bank.
Therefore, in the case where the DOAS-uncontrolled elevator and the DOAS-controlled elevator are mixedly used, there is a difference in whether or not the priority use of the stop floor setting can be supported, and in the house rent increase/decrease associated therewith.
As indicated by the management information 1000, even when the same level and the same stop floor are set, there is a difference in the increase/decrease in the traffic volume and the house rent between the DOAS-uncontrolled elevator and the DOAS-controlled elevator.
In the case of the DOAS-controlled elevator, it is possible to set the traffic volume and house rent increase/decrease according to the stop floor setting. However, the DOAS-uncontrolled elevator may unintentionally increase the efficiency or may not increase the efficiency at some floors depending on conditions.
For example, on the fourth or tenth floor for which “use” is set, the DOAS-controlled elevator can be set to stop the car at the nearest floor in the traveling direction in which the elevator is operating, instead of stopping the car in the order of level. Therefore, it is possible to send the car with the same efficiency as other use setting floor, and no house rent increase/decrease occurs (For example, it is possible to perform control to send the car in the order of the fourth floor→the sixth floor→the fifth floor→the first floor in the specific bank.).
On the other hand, in the case of the DOAS-uncontrolled elevator, since the elevator is sent in the order of the level, the efficiency increases in the fourth floor (The floor is the upper floor of the second and third floors set as “non-use” and is the lower floor of the fifth floor set as “priority use”.) where there is a high possibility that there is a car stopping at the nearest floor, and in the tenth floor to which a car without a person is always sent because the tenth floor is on the top floor even if the priority use setting is not performed, leading to an increase in the house rent.
In addition, in a case where the standard stop floors are set for the fifth and ninth floors for which “priority use” is set, in the case of a controlled elevator, the efficiency can be greatly increased by the control of operating the car of a specific bank in the vicinity of the fifth or ninth floor, but in the case of an uncontrolled elevator, all the bank cars may leave the fifth or ninth floor depending on the situation, and it is difficult to increase the efficiency.

When the first presentation information generating unit 111B executes the presentation information generation processing, the processing illustrated in
Here, an example of a configuration of the first terminal 10 and the second terminal 20 will be described.
The first terminal 10 illustrated in
The presentation unit 11 presents various pieces of presentation information acquired from the management device 100B in a display unit (not illustrated) of the first terminal 10.
The presentation unit 11 includes an application input image presenting unit 11-1, an application result presenting unit 11-2, a setting state presenting unit 11-3, and a charging information presenting unit 11-4.
The application input image presenting unit 11-1 presents an application input image for inputting the contents of the application to the management device by the user who is the applicant.
The application result presenting unit 11-2 acquires an application result from the management device 100B and presents an application result image based on the application result.
The setting state presenting unit 11-3 acquires the setting state information from the management device 100B and presents a setting state image based on the setting state information. The setting state information is temporary setting state information indicating a temporary setting state before the setting application is determined, or determined setting state information indicating a setting state after the setting application is determined. The setting state information includes a setting state set by another applicant.
The charging information presenting unit 11-4 acquires the charging information from the management device 100B and presents a charging information image based on the charging information. The charging information is predicted charge amount information indicating the charge amount before the setting application is determined or determined charge amount information after the setting application is determined.

In addition, when the content of the setting application is input via the application input image, for example, the input information output unit 12 outputs the content to the management device.
In addition, when acquiring a determination signal indicating that the setting application is determined via the application input image, for example, the input information output unit 12 outputs information (application determination notification) indicating that the application is determined to the management device 100B via the setting application unit 13-2.
That is, the input information output unit 12 outputs the authority request for requesting the application authority, the temporary setting information input before the setting application is determined, and the determined setting information after the setting application is determined, to the management device 100B.
The application unit 13 executes application addressed to the management device 100B on the basis of the information input via the application input image.
The application unit 13 includes an authority application unit 13-1 and a setting application unit 13-2.
When acquiring the authority application information for requesting the application authority via the application input image, the authority application unit 13-1 outputs the authority application information to the management device 100B.
When acquiring a determination signal indicating that the setting application is determined via the application input image, the setting application unit 13-2 outputs information (application determination notification) indicating that the application is determined to the management device 100B.
An example of processing in the first terminal 10 will be described.
The first terminal 10 starts the processing illustrated in
The application unit 13 in the first terminal 10 confirms whether the applicant has authority (step ST351). The authority application unit 13-1 in the application unit 13 confirms whether a notification indicating that the authority has been given from the management device 100B has already been received.
If the application unit 13 in the first terminal 10 determines that the applicant has authority (step ST351 “YES”), the process proceeds to step ST354.
When the application unit 13 in the first terminal 10 determines that the applicant does not have authority (step ST351 “NO”), the application unit 13 in the first terminal 10 makes an authority application (step ST352). Specifically, the authority application unit 13-1 in the application unit 13 outputs the user identification information and the authority application information to the management device 100B.
The application unit 13 in the first terminal 10 determines whether authority has been given (step ST353). Specifically, the setting application unit 13-2 in the application unit 13 determines that the authority is given when acquiring the authorization notification indicating that the applicant has the application authority from the management device 100B.
In a case where the setting application unit 13-2 in the application unit 13 determines that the authority has not been given (step ST353 “NO”), the processing illustrated in
If the authority has been given (step ST353 “YES”), the application unit 13 in the first terminal 10 presents an application input image (step ST354).
The presentation unit 11 in the first terminal 10 presents the setting state (step ST355).
The input information output unit 12 acquires application information (step ST356). The application information includes temporary setting information. The input information output unit 12 in the first terminal 10 outputs the temporary setting information as the acquired application information to the management device 100B.
The presentation unit 11 in the first terminal 10 presents the charging information (step ST357). Specifically, the charging information presenting unit 11-4 in the presentation unit 11 acquires the predicted charge amount information from the management device 100B, and presents a charge amount image displaying the predicted charge amount using the predicted charge amount information.
The application unit 13 in the first terminal 10 makes a setting application (step ST358). Specifically, when the operation of determining the setting application is performed by the applicant in a state where the authorization notification indicating that the applicant has the application authority is received, the setting application unit 13-2 in the application unit 13 of the first terminal outputs an application determination notification indicating that the setting application of the setting information is determined to the management device 100B. At this time, the setting application unit 13-2 may output the determined setting information, which is the application information, to the management device 100B together with the application determination notification. Since the contents of the determined setting information are the same as the contents of the temporary setting information already output to the management device 100B, it is not essential for the setting application unit 13-2 to output the determined setting information together with the application determination notification.
The presentation unit 11 in the first terminal 10 presents the application result (step ST359).
After executing the processing of step ST359, the first terminal 10 ends the processing illustrated in
