Abstract
In an image monitoring apparatus for an elevator, an image recording unit records an image in a car photographed by a camera, and monitors based on the image in the car whether or not there is a violent behavior of a passenger in the car. The image recording unit makes a recording density of the image in the car higher than usual when the violent behavior of the passenger in the car is detected. The operation control unit homes the car on a predetermined floor when the violent behavior of the passenger in the car is detected by the image recording unit.
Claims4
An image monitoring apparatus for an elevator, comprising:
- operation control means for controlling operation of a car;
- and
- image recording means for recording an image in the car photographed by a camera, and for detecting, based on the image in the car, whether or not there is a violent behavior of a passenger in the car, wherein
- when the violent behavior of the passenger in the car is detected by the image recording means, the operation control means determines whether the car is moving, and if the car is determined to be moving, moves the car to a nearest floor, and if the car is determined to be not moving, opens a door of the car.
An image monitoring apparatus for an elevator, comprising:
- an operation control unit configured to control operation of a car;
- and
- an image recording unit configured to record an image in the car photographed by a camera, and to detect, based on the image in the car, whether or not there is a violent behavior of a passenger in the car,
- wherein, when the violent behavior of the passenger in the car is detected by the image recording unit, the operation control unit determines whether the car is moving, and if the car is determined to be moving, moves the car to a nearest floor, and if the car is determined to be not moving, opens a door of the car.
An image monitoring method for an elevator, the method comprising:
- controlling operation of a car;
- recording an image in the car photographed by a camera;
- detecting, based on the image in the car, whether or not there is a violent behavior of a passenger in the car;
- and
- determining, when the violent behavior of the passenger in the car is detected in the detecting step, whether the car is moving, and if the car is determined to be moving, moving the car to a nearest floor, and if the car is determined to be not moving, opening a door of the car.
