  • Patent number: 10625980
    Abstract: An elevator device includes an operation control unit (18), a storage unit (22), a transmission unit (23), a determination unit (25), and a recovery unit (26). When an inspection operation is interrupted by the operation control unit (18), the transmission unit (23) transmits inspection data stored in the storage unit (22) to a plurality of specific devices (20). The determination unit (25) determines whether or not recovery conditions are satisfied on the basis of a plurality of responses from the devices (20) to which the transmission unit (23) transmits the inspection data. For example, the recovery unit (26) restores a normal operation when the determination unit (25) determines that the recovery conditions are satisfied.

  • Patent number: 10526167
    Abstract: A restoration information registration device for elevators capable of quickly registering restoration information on the elevator. The restoration information registration device for the elevators includes an operation unit that receives an operation from the outside, a storage unit that stores, when restoration information on the elevator is input by the operation on the operation unit, the restoration information, and a transmission unit that, when restoration information on a plurality of elevators is stored in the storage unit, collectively transmits the restoration information on the plurality of elevators. Accordingly, it is possible to quickly register the restoration information on the elevator.
