Here, the boarding button 101 is a button that is formed on the outside of the elevator to determine the lift of the occupant, it is usually composed of a rising button and a down button.

The control unit 102 drives the motor according to the operation of the boarding button 101 provided at the outside of the elevator or the selection button provided therein to move the elevator, open and close the door, and control the blinking of the inside of the elevator. It is a structure for doing so.

Here, the detection unit 110 is configured to check the passenger waiting in the boarding zone set on the floor in front of the elevator, the detection unit 110 is a human body sensor 111 and the boarding zone formed on the outer upper side of the elevator Consists of a pressure sensor 112 provided in.

The human body sensor 111 is formed of a conventional infrared sensor for detecting the human body, the pressure sensor 112 is provided on the bottom surface of the boarding zone, the human body sensor 111 and the pressure sensor ( 112 is a configuration required for detecting a passenger waiting for an elevator in the boarding zone.

That is, the sensing unit 110 including the human body sensor 111 and the pressure sensor 112 continuously and checks whether the occupant is present and transmits the same to the control unit 102.

And before transmitting the presence or absence of the occupant to the control unit 102, in order to avoid unnecessary information transfer, the passenger's detection information is transmitted only if the occupant is located in the boarding zone but stays in the boarding zone for 3 to 5 seconds or more. It is preferable to set the sensing unit 110 to be.

Furthermore, when detecting the occupant of the boarding zone by the sensor 110, the human body sensor 111 and the pressure sensor 112 may be configured to interoperate with each other to prevent a malfunction of the sensor 110.

And the boarding zone is set on the floor in front of the elevator, as described above, that is where the passengers wait for boarding to board the elevator, the boarding zone is limited to a specific range of the floor in front of the elevator It is desirable to find out the intention of the passenger riding. That is, the passenger for boarding the elevator will naturally be waiting for a predetermined time at a point away from the elevator. Therefore, the boarding zone is used to determine the boarding intention of the passenger in a specific range of the floor in front of the elevator. It is preferable to designate only.
