Abstract

An elevator hall call registration apparatus automatically registers a destination floor call based on verification information by a personal authentication device. The hall call registration apparatus includes a first personal authentication device which authenticates a user, a hall call registration apparatus main body which performs destination floor call registration based on verification information including personal ID unique to the user verified in the first personal authentication device, and a destination floor changing device which accepts an operation for the user to perform at least one of a change and cancel of the destination floor of a destination floor call registration. If it is judged based on an operation performed in the destination floor changing device that the operation is performed by the user authenticated by the first personal authentication device, the hall call registration apparatus can perform a change and cancel of a destination floor of the destination floor call registration.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hall call registration apparatus of an elevator, comprising:
a first personal authentication device which authenticates a user of an elevator;
a hall call registration apparatus main body which performs destination floor call registration of an elevator on the basis of verification information including personal ID unique to the user who was verified by the first personal authentication device;
a destination floor changing device which accepts an operation for the user to perform at least one of a change and a cancel of the destination floor call registration; and
a second personal authentication device which is provided in the destination floor changing device and authenticates the user,
wherein in a case that a personal ID verified by the second personal authentication device is the same as a personal ID verified by the first personal authentication device, the hall call registration apparatus main body judges that the operation is performed by the user who is authenticated in the first personal authentication device and performs a change and/or a cancel of a destination floor of the destination floor call registration.

2. The hall call registration apparatus of an elevator according to claim 1 , wherein the hall call registration apparatus main body comprises:
a destination floor registrar storage section which stores the destination floor of the destination floor call registration and an elevator assigned to the destination floor call registration in association with the personal ID verified by the first personal authentication device; and
a destination floor changing section which performs a change and/or a cancel of the destination floor of the destination floor call registration in a case that the destination floor and the elevator are stored in the destination floor registrar storage section in association with the same personal ID as the personal ID verified by the second personal authentication device.

3. The hall call registration apparatus of an elevator according to claim 1 , wherein
the first personal authentication device is provided in a place leading to a hall of an elevator,
the destination floor changing device is provided in the hall, and
the hall call registration apparatus main body judges whether or not the operation is performed by the user who is authenticated by the first personal authentication device on the basis of a difference between an elapsed time from the authentication by the first personal authentication device to an operation in the destination floor changing device and a predicted moving time required by a user to move from the first personal authentication device to the hall.
