Abstract
Provided is an elevator control device capable of calling attention to contact between a user and an autonomous moving body in an elevator shared by the user and the autonomous moving body. The elevator control device includes an elevator notification control unit configured to causes, based on a call for an elevator from an autonomous moving body, equipment provided in a hall of the elevator of a floor on which the autonomous moving body is present or equipment provided in a car of the elevator to provide notification of information indicating that the autonomous moving body boards or disembarks from the car.
Claims16
An autonomous moving body control device, comprising:
- a processor to execute a program;
- and
- a memory to store the program which, when executed by the processor, performs processes of,
- measuring, based on a current position and a moving direction of a car, a number of times the car passes a floor from the autonomous moving body was made while traveling in a same direction as that requested by the hall call;
- and
- causing, in response to an ordinal number of the number of times the car passes obtained by the measuring corresponding to an ordinal number of round trips that has been stored according to the hall call from the autonomous moving body, at least one of an autonomous moving body light, an autonomous moving body display, an autonomous moving body speaker, and an autonomous moving body projector that are provided in the autonomous moving body to provide notification that the autonomous moving body will board the car.
A computer implemented method of controlling an autonomous moving body, comprising:
- measuring, based on a current position and a moving direction of a car, a number of times the car passes a floor on which a hall call was made while traveling in a same direction as that requested by the hall call;
- and
- causing, in response to an ordinal number of the number of times the car passes obtained by the measuring corresponding to an ordinal number of round trips that has been stored according to the hall call from the autonomous moving body, at least one of an autonomous moving body light, an autonomous moving body display, an autonomous moving body speaker, and an autonomous moving body projector that are in the autonomous moving body to provide notification that the autonomous moving body will board the car.
