  • Patent number: 9079752
    Abstract: According to the present invention, when a parking floor is set as a remote-hall-operating-panel-installed floor, the parking floor can be canceled. As a result of this, during the movement of a passenger from a remote hall operating panel to an elevator hall, it is possible to prevent a car from being on standby at a remote-hall-operating-panel-installed floor. Therefore, because a car to which a remote hall registration has been assigned can effectively use the moving time of the passenger and hence it is possible to improve the operation efficiency of the whole group supervisory control system. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce useless runs and hence to reduce power consumption.

  • Patent number: 8316997
    Abstract: Provided is an elevator group control system which is excellent in convenience and can prevent a decrease in operation efficiency even when an elevator is used by a group of a plurality of persons. For this purpose, there are installed in an elevator hall a destination operating panel by use of which users register their destination floors before boarding and a group boarding registering device for registering that users use an elevator as a group. The number of users expected when users use an elevator as a group is stored beforehand in a user head-count storage section. When registration of a destination floor by use of the destination operating panel has been performed at the same time with registration of a group use by use of the group boarding registering device, a car to be assigned to a hall car call is determined on the basis of the number of users stored in the user head-count storage section.
