Abstract

The present invention relates to an elevator call management system. More specifically, an elevator call management system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: an access control device (200) that controls whether an automatic door (250) is opened or closed; a central controller (100) that receives an automatic door opening/closing signal from the access control device (200) and generates an elevator call signal based on the automatic door opening/closing signal and at least one sensor signal; and at least one caller (350) that receives the elevator call signal from the central controller (100) and performs a call operation for at least one elevator (300), wherein the activation state of the call operation is changed according to the number of times the elevator call signal is generated, and the central controller (100) may operate to ignore the automatic door opening/closing signal for a preset reset time from the time of generation of the first elevator call signal.

Description

Elevator Call Management System {SYSTEM FOR ELEVATER CALL MANAGEMENT} The present invention relates to an elevator call management system. Elevators are used in buildings of various uses and sizes, including residential and commercial facilities. In particular, multiple elevators used in facilities with high foot traffic show significant differences in the speed and convenience experienced by users depending on the algorithms applied for operation and calling. Since most users of facilities within a building must move between floors several times a day, elevators can be said to play one of the most important roles among the building's common facilities. Elevators controlled by conventional automated systems have the advantage of providing convenience to users, but they have the limitation of creating unnecessary waiting times due to indiscriminate automatic calling functions. Conversely, traditional elevator systems that rely on manual calling by users have the disadvantage of not providing functions to improve the situation or for people with mobility difficulties. Accordingly, while introducing automated call methods to enhance user convenience, there is a need to develop algorithms that address functional limitations arising from various external situations. Furthermore, as many residential facilities such as apartments, officetels, and multi-family housing units install additional access control systems for security purposes, it is necessary to improve management convenience by simplifying the system through the integration of these access control systems with elevator call systems.
