る。A group management system for integrally controlling a plurality of elevators selects an optimum elevator for a call in a hall and provides a service to a call generation floor. In such a group management system, it is possible to further improve the service by grasping the number of waiting customers at the call-occurring floor in advance. That is, when allocating an elevator to the call-occurring floor, it is possible to know whether or not one elevator will be left behind, so that it is possible to allocate two or more elevators in advance. As a result, the waiting time of waiting passengers who are scheduled to leave can be shortened, and even with elevator control, waiting passengers can be processed in a short time, and operational efficiency can be improved.

当てを防止する制御も可能となる。However, in order to further improve the operation efficiency, it is necessary to know not only the number of waiting passengers at the call generation floor but also the direction in which the waiting passengers want to go, that is, the number of waiting customers for each traveling direction of the elevator. As a result, it is possible to perform control to prevent useless allocation, such as assigning an elevator that can process waiting passengers in the traveling direction, instead of simply assigning a plurality of elevators.

る。As a direction-dependent waiting customer detecting method for realizing such control, in JP-A-62-31679, the number of waiting customers by direction is obtained from the relationship between the time when a call is generated and the number of waiting customers increased at regular intervals. However, there is a problem in terms of accuracy.

ある。Further, in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2-95683, a building visitor is made to carry a wireless card that generates a different signal for each individual, and personal identification is performed by comparing it with personal information stored in advance, and the ascending / descending direction is determined. I understand, but such management is difficult in a building where an unspecified number of users come and go.

ことにより達成される。The above object is to provide image pickup means for picking up an image of an elevator hall, divide the field of view of the image pickup means according to the number of elevators, and perform image processing on the number of waiting customers in the area corresponding to the assigned elevator. Detected by
This is achieved by setting the number of waiting passengers in the traveling direction of the assigned elevator.

進行方向を待ち客の移動したい方向と判断できる。In the elevator hall, the image pickup means is provided, the field of view of the image pickup means is divided according to the number of elevators, and the number of waiting passengers in the area corresponding to the assigned elevator is detected by image processing. This is because the number of passengers waiting is directly obtained from the actual condition of the elevator hall, so the detection accuracy is good. Further, since the area is divided so that the probability of being the waiting passenger of the assigned elevator is high, the traveling direction of the assigned elevator can be determined to be the direction in which the waiting customer wants to move.
