Abstract

[Problem] To provide an input device, input system, input method, and input program that allow users and other passersby to select from multiple options with less effort required. [Solution] In the guidance system 1, which is an input system, the guidance device 11 comprises a collection unit 18, a position detection unit 19, a generation unit 21, a determination unit 22, and a registration unit 23. The position detection unit 19 detects the position information of the passing object 3 based on the observation information of the passing object 3 collected by the collection unit. The generation unit generates a plurality of option images 12, which are aerial images corresponding to each of the presented options, so that they are arranged in parallel with respect to the direction of travel of the passing object 3. The display device 9 installed in the building 2 displays the plurality of generated option images 12. The determination unit determines the passing option, which is the option image 12 that the passing object 3 has passed through, based on the position information of the passing object 3, and the registration unit registers the options corresponding to the passing option as the options selected by the passing object 3.

The embodiments for carrying out the subject matter of this disclosure will be described with reference to the attached drawings. In each drawing, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are simplified or omitted as appropriate. However, the subject matter of this disclosure is not limited to the following embodiments, and any modification of any component of the embodiments or omission of any component of the embodiments is possible without departing from the spirit of this disclosure. Embodiment 1. Figure 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of the guidance system 1 according to Embodiment 1. The guidance system 1 is applied to one or more buildings 2, either partially or entirely. Here, building 2 may include not only indoor areas such as rooms and corridors, but also outdoor areas such as the perimeter, courtyards, rooftops, and connecting passages. Building 2 may be a commercial facility, office building, public facility, transportation facility, mixed-use facility, or other facility. The guidance system 1 is a system that provides guidance for movement to objects 3 passing through building 2. Objects 3 are, for example, users (people) passing through building 2, or autonomous mobile devices (devices) passing through building 2. The guidance system 1 accepts selections from objects 3, such as their destination, and provides guidance to objects 3 based on the selections received as input. The guidance system 1 is an example of an input system that accepts input from objects 3. In a building 2 to which the guidance system 1 is applied, the elevator system 4 is also applied. Building 2 has multiple floors. The elevator system 4 includes multiple elevators 5. Each elevator 5 is a device that transports users, who are people using the elevator system 4, between multiple floors of building 2. Each elevator 5 includes a car (not shown) in which users ride. Each elevator car 5 travels vertically in a hoistway, which is a space spanning multiple floors of building 2, transporting the users riding in it between multiple floors. Each elevator car 5 is an example of a transport body. On each floor of building 2, there is an elevator landing 6. At each landing 6, there are multiple landing doors 7. Each landing door 7 corresponds to one of the elevators 5. The landing doors 7 open and close so that users can board and alight when the car of the corresponding elevator 5 arrives on the floor where the landing door 7 is located. The elevator system 4 includes a group control device 8. The group control device 8 is a device that manages the operation of each elevator car 5. The group control device 8 is an example of a control device that manages the operation of a transport system. The group control device 8 assigns a call from a user of the elevator system 4 to one of the elevators 5. The car of the elevator 5 to which the call is assigned travels along the hoistway in a manner that allows it to respond to the call. Part or all of the elevator system 4 may be an internal system of the guidance system 1, included in the guidance system 1, or it may be an external system of the guidance system 1 that interacts with the guidance system 1. The guidance system 1 comprises a display device 9, an observation device 10, and a guidance device 11. The display device 9 is installed in the building 2 to which the guidance system 1 is applied. The display device 9 is a device that displays aerial images in a space separate from the device body in the building 2. The display device 9 is, for example, one or more aerial displays. The device body of the display device 9 is placed, for example, in a building structure such as a wall, column, floor, or ceiling of the building 2,
