FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining data transition of the elevator destination registration apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
　利用者が押し釦３を操作することにより行先登録が発生すると、押し釦３は、登録する行先を行先登録情報(押し釦)として制御装置１０に送信する。 When destination registration occurs by the user operating the push button 3, the push button 3 transmits the destination to be registered to the control device 10 as destination registration information (push button).
　利用者が音声を発すると、マイクロホン４は、当該音声を集音する。マイクロホン４は、当該音声に対応した情報を音声入力情報として音声認識装置５に送信する。音声入力情報は、アナログデータでもデジタルデータでもよい。 When the user utters sound, the microphone 4 collects the sound. The microphone 4 transmits information corresponding to the voice to the voice recognition device 5 as voice input information. The voice input information may be analog data or digital data.
　音声認識装置５は、音声入力情報に基づいて音声認識の処理を行う。すなわち、音声認識装置５は、「行先登録を開始するキーワード」や「行先階」等を認識し、行先登録のシーケンス処理（音声認識シーケンス）を行う。 The voice recognition device 5 performs voice recognition processing based on the voice input information. That is, the speech recognition apparatus 5 recognizes “destination registration start keyword”, “destination floor”, and the like, and performs destination registration sequence processing (voice recognition sequence).
　この際、音声認識装置５は、行先登録のシーケンス処理の途中経過や認識結果を認識状態情報(報知)、認識状態情報(表示)として、それぞれ音声出力装置６と表示装置７に送信する。 At this time, the voice recognition device 5 transmits the progress of the destination registration sequence process and the recognition result to the voice output device 6 and the display device 7 as recognition state information (notification) and recognition state information (display), respectively.
　認識状態情報(報知) 、認識状態情報(表示)は、利用者へ次の操作を促す報知のための情報、認識結果、音声認識装置５の動作結果等からなる。例えば、認識状態情報(報知) 、認識状態情報(表示)は、行先の発話を促す情報、音声認識装置５が判定した語彙情報、音声認識装置５が行先登録を行った情報等からなる。 The recognition state information (notification) and the recognition state information (display) include information for notifying the user of the next operation, a recognition result, an operation result of the voice recognition device 5, and the like. For example, the recognition state information (notification) 認識, the recognition state information (display) include information that prompts the destination to speak, vocabulary information determined by the speech recognition device 5, information that the speech recognition device 5 has registered the destination, and the like.
　音声認識装置５は、音声認識操作中であることを行先登録情報(音声認識装置)として制御装置１０に送信する。 The voice recognition device 5 transmits information indicating that the voice recognition operation is being performed to the control device 10 as destination registration information (voice recognition device).
　制御装置１０は、行先登録情報(音声認識装置)を受け取ると、かご２で利用者が音声認識装置５を利用して行先を登録していると判定する。当該判定に基づいて、制御装置１０は、行先登録のシーケンス処理を完了できる十分な時間を確保する。また、制御装置１０は、音声登録の妨げにならないようにアナウンス鳴動の制御も行う。すなわち、制御装置１０は、戸開閉装置８に戸開閉信号を送信する時間を制御し、また、音声出力装置６にアナウンス鳴動信号を送信する時間、種類を制御する。 Upon receiving the destination registration information (voice recognition device), the control device 10 determines that the user has registered the destination using the voice recognition device 5 in the car 2. Based on the determination, the control device 10 secures sufficient time for completing the destination registration sequence process. The control device 10 also controls the announcement sound so as not to hinder voice registration. That is, the control device 10 controls the time for transmitting the door opening / closing signal to the door opening / closing device 8, and controls the time and type for transmitting the announcement ringing signal to the audio output device 6.
　音声認識装置５は、音声認識した結果、行先登録が発生する場合、登録する行先を行先登録情報(音声認識装置)として制御装置１０に送信する。行先登録情報(音声認識装置)は、音声認識操作中かどうかの情報の他、かご２を停止させる階床の情報を含んだものである。 When the destination recognition occurs as a result of the voice recognition, the voice recognition device 5 transmits the destination to be registered to the control device 10 as destination registration information (voice recognition device). The destination registration information (voice recognition device) includes information on whether or not the voice recognition operation is being performed, and information on the floor where the car 2 is stopped.
　行先登録情報(音声認識装置)が音声認識操作中でなければ、制御装置１０は、音声認識装置５を利用した行先登録のシーケンス処理が完了したと判定する。当該判定に基づいて、制御装置１０は、戸開閉信号やアナウンス鳴動信号の制御を押し釦３利用時（通常時）の状態に戻す。 If the destination registration information (voice recognition device) is not in speech recognition operation, the control device 10 determines that the destination registration sequence processing using the voice recognition device 5 has been completed. Based on the determination, the control device 10 returns the control of the door opening / closing signal and the announcement sound signal to the state when the push button 3 is used (normal time).
　音声出力装置６は、認識状態情報(報知)やアナウンス鳴動信号を受け、該当するアナウンスやブザーを鳴動させ利用者へ報知する。表示装置７は、認識状態情報(表示)を受け、該当する文言やアイコンを利用者へ表示する。 The voice output device 6 receives the recognition state information (notification) and the announcement sound signal, and sounds the corresponding announcement and buzzer to notify the user. The display device 7 receives the recognition state information (display) and displays the corresponding wording or icon to the user.
　次に、図３を用いて、エレベータの行先登録装置の動作を説明する。
　図３はこの発明の実施の形態１におけるエレベータの行先登録装置の動作を説明するためのフローチャートである。 Next, the operation of the elevator destination registration apparatus will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 3 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the elevator destination registration apparatus according to Embodiment 1 of the present invention.
　利用者がかご２内で行先登録を行うと、ステップＳ１で、制御装置１０は、かご２が戸閉を開始しているか否かを判定する。すなわち、制御装置１０は、行先登録が可能な状態である否かを確認する。 When the user registers the destination in the car 2, in step S1, the control device 10 determines whether or not the car 2 has started to close. That is, the control device 10 confirms whether the destination registration is possible.
　行先登録が可能な状態の場合は、ステップＳ２に進む。ステップＳ２では、制御装置１０は、利用者の行先登録手段を判定する。すなわち、制御装置１０は、行先登録が音声認識装置５及び押し釦３のどちらを利用したものかを判定する。 If the destination registration is possible, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S <b> 2, the control device 10 determines a user destination registration unit. That is, the control device 10 determines whether the destination registration uses the voice recognition device 5 or the push button 3.
　ステップＳ２で行先登録が押し釦３を利用したものである場合は、ステップＳ３に進む。ステップＳ３では、制御装置１０は、押し釦３の利用を想定した通常の戸閉制御及びアナウンス制御を行う。その後、ステップＳ１からの動作が繰り返される。 If the destination registration uses the push button 3 in step S2, the process proceeds to step S3. In step S <b> 3, the control device 10 performs normal door closing control and announcement control assuming use of the push button 3. Thereafter, the operation from step S1 is repeated.
　ステップＳ２で行先登録が音声認識装置５を利用したものである場合は、ステップＳ４に進む。ステップＳ４では、音声認識装置５は、利用者の音声認識開始のキーワードを検出する。その後、音声認識装置５は、音声認識操作中であることを行先登録情報(音声認識装置)として制御装置１０に送信する。 If the destination registration uses the voice recognition device 5 in step S2, the process proceeds to step S4. In step S4, the voice recognition device 5 detects a keyword for the user's voice recognition start. Thereafter, the voice recognition device 5 transmits information indicating that the voice recognition operation is being performed to the control device 10 as destination registration information (voice recognition device).
　制御装置１０は、行先登録情報(音声認識装置)を受け、行先登録手段が音声認識装置であると認識し、戸開閉やアナウンス鳴動の制御を音声認識装置５に合わせたものにする。例えば、制御装置１０は、戸閉開始の時間を音声認識シーケンスが十分完了できる時間に延長したり、アナウンス鳴動を必要最小限に抑制したりする。当該制御に伴い、制御装置１０は、必要に応じて戸開閉装置８や音声出力装置６に、それぞれ、戸開閉信号やアナウンス鳴動信号を送信する。 The control device 10 receives the destination registration information (voice recognition device), recognizes that the destination registration means is a voice recognition device, and adjusts the door opening / closing and announcement ringing control to the voice recognition device 5. For example, the control device 10 extends the door closing start time to a time when the voice recognition sequence can be sufficiently completed, or suppresses the announcement sound to the minimum necessary. Along with the control, the control device 10 transmits a door opening / closing signal and an announcement sound signal to the door opening / closing device 8 and the audio output device 6 as necessary.
　行先登録が音声認識装置５を利用したものである場合、音声認識開始のキーワードや階床等のキーワードを検出する必要がある。すなわち、行先登録が押し釦３を利用したものである場合よりも多くの時間が必要となる。このため、制御装置１０は、音声認識装置５を利用した行先登録にどの程度時間を要しているかの確認を行う。 When the destination registration uses the voice recognition device 5, it is necessary to detect a keyword such as a voice recognition start keyword or a floor. That is, more time is required than when the destination registration uses the push button 3. For this reason, the control device 10 checks how much time is required for destination registration using the speech recognition device 5.
　当該確認に基づいて、制御装置１０は、一定時間を経過後、他階の呼びに応えるため、戸開閉装置８に戸開閉信号を送信して強制的に戸閉を行う（同時に音声出力装置６に対しアナウンス鳴動信号を送信して強制戸閉の警告を行う）。 Based on the confirmation, the control device 10 sends a door opening / closing signal to the door opening / closing device 8 and forcibly closes the door (simultaneously with the audio output device 6) in order to answer the call on the other floor after a predetermined time. To send a warning sound signal to warn of forced closing.)
　すなわち、ステップＳ５に進み、制御装置１０は、行先登録のシーケンス処理中に強制戸閉となったか否かを判定する。強制戸閉となっていない場合は、ステップＳ６に進む。ステップＳ６では、制御装置１０は、行先登録のシーケンス処理中に押し釦３の操作があった否かを判定する。 That is, the process proceeds to step S5, and the control device 10 determines whether or not the door is forcibly closed during the destination registration sequence process. When it is not forced door closing, it progresses to step S6. In step S6, the control device 10 determines whether or not the push button 3 has been operated during the destination registration sequence process.
　ステップＳ６で押し釦３の操作がない場合は、ステップＳ７に進む。ステップＳ７では、制御装置１０は、行先登録のシーケンス処理の完了、中断、取り消しのいずれかが発生したかを判定する。 If there is no operation of the push button 3 in step S6, the process proceeds to step S7. In step S <b> 7, the control device 10 determines whether completion, interruption, or cancellation of the destination registration sequence process has occurred.
　行先登録のシーケンス処理の完了、中断、取り消しのいずれも発生していない場合は、ステップＳ５からの動作が繰り返される。 If the destination registration sequence process has not been completed, interrupted, or canceled, the operations from step S5 are repeated.
　ステップＳ６で押し釦３の操作があった場合は、ステップＳ８に進む。ステップＳ８では、制御装置１０は、押し釦３からの行先登録を行先登録情報(押し釦)として受け付ける。この場合、行先登録のシーケンス処理は継続される。すなわち、ステップＳ７に進み、制御装置１０は、行先登録のシーケンス処理の完了、中断、取り消しのいずれかが発生したかを判定する。 If the push button 3 is operated in step S6, the process proceeds to step S8. In step S8, the control device 10 receives destination registration from the push button 3 as destination registration information (push button). In this case, the destination registration sequence process is continued. That is, the process proceeds to step S7, and the control device 10 determines whether completion, interruption, or cancellation of the destination registration sequence process has occurred.
　ステップＳ７で行先登録のシーケンス処理の完了、中断、取り消しのいずれかが発生した場合は、制御装置１０は、行先登録のシーケンス処理の終了を把握する。この場合、ステップＳ３に進んで、制御装置１０は、押し釦３の利用を想定した通常の戸閉制御及びアナウンス制御を行う。 If any of completion, interruption, and cancellation of the destination registration sequence process occurs in step S7, the control device 10 grasps the end of the destination registration sequence process. In this case, it progresses to step S3 and the control apparatus 10 performs normal door closing control and announcement control which assumed utilization of the push button 3. FIG.
　ステップＳ１でかご２が戸閉を開始している場合やステップＳ５で強制戸閉となった場合は、ステップＳ９に進む。ステップＳ９では、かご２は、戸閉開始前の行先登録状態で運行を開始する。 If the car 2 has started to close in step S1, or if forced to close in step S5, the process proceeds to step S9. In step S9, the car 2 starts operation in the destination registration state before the door closing start.
　次に、図４を用いて、かご２の戸の開閉を説明する。
　図４はこの発明の実施の形態１におけるかごの戸の開閉を説明するめのタイミングチャートである。 Next, the opening and closing of the door of the car 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 4 is a timing chart for explaining opening and closing of the car door according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
　図４の上段は音声認識装置５がない場合におけるかご２の戸の開閉のタイミングチャートである。図４の中段は音声認識がある場合における一般的なかご２の戸開閉のタイミングチャートである。図４の下段は本実施の形態におけるかご２の戸のタイミングチャートである。 4 is a timing chart for opening and closing the door of the car 2 when the voice recognition device 5 is not provided. The middle part of FIG. 4 is a general timing chart for opening and closing the car 2 when there is voice recognition. The lower part of FIG. 4 is a timing chart of the door of the car 2 in the present embodiment.
　音声認識装置５がない場合の戸開時間は、戸開開始Ｔ１と通常戸閉開始Ｔ２の差である。音声認識装置５がある場合の一般的な戸開時間は、戸開開始Ｔ１と音声認識装置用戸閉開始Ｔ３の差である。 When the voice recognition device 5 is not provided, the door opening time is the difference between the door opening start T1 and the normal door closing start T2. A general door opening time when the voice recognition device 5 is present is a difference between the door opening start T1 and the door closing start T3 for the voice recognition device.
　これらに対し、本実施の形態においては、利用者が音声認識装置５を利用していない場合、戸開時間は、音声認識装置５がない場合と同様に、戸開開始Ｔ１と通常戸閉開始Ｔ２の差になる。 On the other hand, in this embodiment, when the user does not use the voice recognition device 5, the door opening time is the door opening start T1 and the normal door closing start, as in the case where the voice recognition device 5 is not provided. The difference is T2.
　当該戸開時間中に利用者が音声認識装置５を利用して行先登録を開始すると、戸開時間は、音声認識シーケンス開始時刻Ｔ４から音声認識装置５を利用した行先登録に十分な時間に再設定される。具体的には、戸開時間は、音声認識装置５がある場合の戸開時間と同様に、戸開開始Ｔ１と音声認識用戸閉開始Ｔ３の差を加算した音声認識シーケンス強制終了時刻Ｔ６（図示せず）に延長される。 When the user starts destination registration using the voice recognition device 5 during the door opening time, the door opening time is reset to a time sufficient for destination registration using the voice recognition device 5 from the voice recognition sequence start time T4. Is set. Specifically, the door opening time is the same as the door opening time when the voice recognition device 5 is present, and the voice recognition sequence forced end time T6 (the difference between the door opening start T1 and the door closing start T3 for voice recognition is added. (Not shown).
　利用者が音声認識シーケンスを完了した際、音声認識シーケンス終了時刻Ｔ５が通常戸閉開始Ｔ２を経過していれば、音声認識シーケンス強制終了時刻Ｔ６以前であっても戸閉が開始される。この際、音声認識シーケンス終了時刻Ｔ５は、利用者の音声認識シーケンスの完了時に対し、１、２秒程度の若干の猶予時間を加算したものでもよい。 When the user completes the voice recognition sequence, if the voice recognition sequence end time T5 has passed the normal door closing start T2, door closing is started even before the voice recognition sequence forced end time T6. At this time, the voice recognition sequence end time T5 may be obtained by adding a slight grace period of about 1 or 2 seconds to the time when the user's voice recognition sequence is completed.
　以上で説明した実施の形態１によれば、かご２内に音声認識装置５と押し釦３が併設された場合であっても、音声認識装置５に対応させて戸開時間を予め長めに設定する必要がない。すなわち、押し釦３のみを有したエレベータと同様の戸開時間の設定で運用し、音声認識装置５を利用したときのみに戸開時間が延長される。このため、押し釦３と音声認識装置５が併設される場合でも、状況に応じて、戸閉開始時間を早くすることができる。すなわち、利用者に不要な待ち時間を与えることを抑制できる。その結果、エレベータの輸送効率も向上することができる。 According to the first embodiment described above, even when the voice recognition device 5 and the push button 3 are provided side by side in the car 2, the door opening time is set to be longer in advance in correspondence with the voice recognition device 5. There is no need to do. That is, the door opening time is extended only when the door opening time is set in the same manner as an elevator having only the push button 3 and the voice recognition device 5 is used. For this reason, even when the push button 3 and the voice recognition device 5 are provided, the door closing start time can be shortened depending on the situation. That is, it is possible to suppress unnecessary waiting time for the user. As a result, the transportation efficiency of the elevator can also be improved.
　また、音声認識装置５が音声の認識を開始した際に、音声出力装置６からのアナウンスの鳴動が抑制される。このため、音声認識装置５による音声認識の精度を向上することができる。 Also, when the voice recognition device 5 starts to recognize the voice, the sound of the announcement from the voice output device 6 is suppressed. For this reason, the accuracy of voice recognition by the voice recognition device 5 can be improved.
　また、音声認識シーケンスが完了した際に戸閉開始Ｔ２と比較しつつ戸閉が開始される。このため、戸閉釦を押す等の手間を増やすことなく、余計な待ち時間を減らすことができる。 Also, when the voice recognition sequence is completed, the door closing is started comparing with the door closing start T2. For this reason, an extra waiting time can be reduced without increasing the trouble of pressing the door close button.
　以上のように、この発明に係るエレベータの行先登録装置は、押し釦と音声認識装置が併設されるエレベータに利用できる。 As described above, the elevator destination registration device according to the present invention can be used for an elevator provided with a push button and a voice recognition device.
