Abstract
An exercise necessity degree determination unit (13) determines an exercise necessity degree being a degree to which an elevator user needs to exercise, who uses an elevator (50) provided in a building provided with an inter-floor travel means other than the elevator. A floor decision unit (14) changes based on the exercise necessity degree of the elevator user determined by the exercise necessity degree determination unit (13), at least one of a boarding floor and an alighting floor of the elevator (50) from a floor that the elevator user prefers to another floor so as to let the elevator user use the inter-floor travel means before the elevator user reaches a destination floor to which the elevator user intends to go.
Claims9
An elevator control apparatus comprising:
- processing circuitry to:
- determine an exercise necessity degree being a degree to which an elevator user needs to exercise, who uses an elevator provided in a building provided with an inter-floor travel means other than the elevator;
- and
- change based on the exercise necessity degree of the elevator user determined, at least one of a boarding floor and an alighting floor of the elevator from a floor that the elevator user prefers to another floor so as to let the elevator user use the inter-floor travel means before the elevator user reaches a destination floor to which the elevator user intends to go, wherein
- when the elevator user requests to change at least one of a changed boarding floor and a changed alighting floor to a floor that the elevator user prefers, the processing circuitry changes at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor to the floor that the elevator user prefers,
- the processing circuitry decides whether or not to change based on at least one of a record of the elevator user accepting at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor and a record of the elevator user not accepting at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor, at least one of the boarding floor and the alighting floor of the elevator from the floor that the elevator user prefers to the another floor, and
- the processing circuitry selects a floor to which the floor that the elevator user prefers is changed, based on a record that the elevator user has accepted at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor and based on the number of floors for which the inter-floor travel means has been used with the changed boarding floor and the number of floors for which the inter-floor travel means has been used with the changed alighting floor.
An elevator control method comprising:
- determining an exercise necessity degree being a degree to which an elevator user needs to exercise, who uses an elevator provided in a building provided with an inter-floor travel means other than the elevator, and
- changing based on the determined exercise necessity degree of the elevator user, at least one of a boarding floor and an alighting floor of the elevator from a floor that the elevator user prefers to another floor so as to let the elevator user use the inter-floor travel means before the elevator user reaches a destination floor to which the elevator user intends to go, wherein
- when the elevator user requests to change at least one of a changed boarding floor and a changed alighting floor to a floor that the elevator user prefers, the elevator control method further comprises changing at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor to the floor that the elevator user prefers,
- the elevator control method further comprises deciding whether or not to change based on at least one of a record of the elevator user accepting at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor and a record of the elevator user not accepting at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor, at least one of the boarding floor and the alighting floor of the elevator from the floor that the elevator user prefers to the another floor, and
- selecting a floor to which the floor that the elevator user prefers is changed, based on a record that the elevator user has accepted at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor and based on the number of floors for which the inter-floor travel means has been used with the changed boarding floor and the number of floors for which the inter-floor travel means has been used with the changed alighting floor.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an elevator control program for causing a computer to execute:
- an exercise necessity degree determination process to determine an exercise necessity degree being a degree to which an elevator user needs to exercise, who uses an elevator provided in a building provided with an inter-floor travel means other than the elevator;
- and
- a floor decision process to change based on the exercise necessity degree of the elevator user determined by the exercise necessity degree determination process, at least one of a boarding floor and an alighting floor of the elevator from a floor that the elevator user prefers to another floor so as to let the elevator user use the inter-floor travel means before the elevator user reaches a destination floor to which the elevator user intends to go, wherein
- when the elevator user requests to change at least one of a changed boarding floor and a changed alighting floor to a floor that the elevator user prefers, the elevator control program causes the computer to further execute the floor decision process to change at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor to the floor that the elevator user prefers,
- the elevator control program causes the computer to further execute the floor decision process to decide whether or not to change based on at least one of a record of the elevator user accepting at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor and a record of the elevator user not accepting at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor, at least one of the boarding floor and the alighting floor of the elevator from the floor that the elevator user prefers to the another floor, and
- to select a floor to which the floor that the elevator user prefers is changed, based on a record that the elevator user has accepted at least one of the changed boarding floor and the changed alighting floor and based on the number of floors for which the inter-floor travel means has been used with the changed boarding floor and the number of floors for which the inter-floor travel means has been used with the changed alighting floor.
