Publication number: 20240378923Abstract: In an interest degree measurement system included in a simulation system, a behavior information acquisition unit acquires behavior information on an arrival floor of a user on the basis of an image or images captured by a camera. An interest information acquisition unit acquires interest information representing degrees of interest of users for each attribute on a basis of arrangement and attributes of areas on the arrival floor and the behavior information. An interest information storage unit stores the interest information for each user, including information on a time point and a location. A visualization processing unit generates an interest degree map by visualizing distribution of degrees of interest of users of a building using the information stored in the interest information storage unit.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 2, 2021Publication date: November 14, 2024Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Ryu MAKABE, Masami AIKAWA, Kei GOMITA, Atsushi HORI

Patent number: 12012301Abstract: An elevator system that allows a plurality of autonomous mobile bodies to be rearranged in an alighting order in a car. The elevator system includes processing circuitry to move and stop an elevator car based on information indicating destination floors transmitted from autonomous mobile bodies, to select an autonomous mobile body in the car and an autonomous mobile body that will board the car as targets to be rearranged. The processing circuitry is further to determine an alighting order of the autonomous mobile bodies to be rearranged based on the destination floor of each of the autonomous mobile bodies to be rearranged, and to transmit information indicating the alighting order to each of the autonomous mobile bodies to be rearranged so that the autonomous mobile bodies are arranged one by one in the alighting order.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2016Date of Patent: June 18, 2024Assignee: MITSUBISHI ELECTRIC CORPORATIONInventors: Koki Machida, Junshiro Kanda, Masami Aikawa

Publication number: 20240051789Abstract: There is provided a guidance system capable of guiding a user who does not operate an ascending/descending facility in a building as well on the basis of concern and interest of the user. In a guidance system (1), a behavior information acquisition unit (15) acquires behavior information on an arrival floor of a user. An interest information acquisition unit (20) acquires interest information representing a degree of interest of the user for each attribute on the basis of a relationship between layout and attributes of areas on the arrival floor and the behavior information. A destination presentation unit (22) preferentially presents an area with an attribute with a higher degree of interest as a destination when a user specification unit (14) specifies a user, on the basis of the interest information for the user and information on attributes for each area.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 5, 2022Publication date: February 15, 2024Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Ryu MAKABE, Masami AIKAWA, Kei GOMITA, Atsushi HORI, Seiji FUWA

Publication number: 20230078706Abstract: An elevator device according to this disclosure includes a detection device, an identification module, and a determination module. The detection device is provided to a car of an elevator, and detects detection information. The identification module repeatedly acquires identification information for identifying a passenger from the detection information detected by the detection device. The determination module determines a leaving floor of the passenger based on a change in the identification information acquired by the identification module and a floor on which the car stops.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 5, 2020Publication date: March 16, 2023Applicant: Mitsubishi Electric CorporationInventors: Ryu MAKABE, Atsushi HORI, Masami AIKAWA
