Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2540652A1] In a destination floor registration device which permits the voice input of a destination floor in the hall of an elevator, passengers are positively prevented from staying in front of the sensor which detects the presence of passengers. A microphone for voice input, a sensor for detecting the presence of a passenger present in a prescribed range in the vicinity of the microphone and a notification device are installed in a hall of an elevator. Also, there are provided voice comparison means which identifies a destination floor of a passenger on the basis of a voice signal from the microphone while the sensor is detecting the presence of a passenger and holding means which holds information on a destination floor identified by the voice comparison means while the sensor is detecting the presence of a passenger and thereafter outputs the held information on a destination floor to a controller of the elevator when the sensor ceases to detect the presence of a passenger. The period of time during which the sensor continues to detect the presence of a passenger is measured and the notification device is caused to notify a prescribed guidance to prompt the passenger to move away from the microphone when the measured period of time exceeds a prescribed threshold value.
