CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

The present application is based on PCT filing PCT/JP2017/034527, filed Sep. 25, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to an elevator and an elevator landing guidance device, more particularly, to an elevator and an elevator landing guidance device, which are configured to guide a user of the elevator to a landing.

BACKGROUND ART

There has been proposed a device configured to guide a user of an elevator to a landing with use of an audio message (see, for example, Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2).

In a related-art device described in Patent Literature 1, a speaker device is arranged for each elevator machine. When one elevator machine is assigned to a floor on which a service request has been made, the speaker device corresponding to the assigned elevator machine is selected. Then, an audio message indicating arrival of a car of the assigned elevator machine is output from the selected speaker device.

In a related-art device described in Patent Literature 2, a disabled person notification button is provided to a destination floor registration device installed in a landing. When the disabled person notification button is operated by a user, an audio guidance in consideration of disabled people is given. The audio guidance, for example, “PRIORITY PASSENGER WILL BOARD. WHILE WAITING TO BOARD, STAND AWAY FROM THE DOOR.” is intended to inform and invite priority boarding of a user.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

Technical Problem

However, the related art has the following problems. In the related-art devices described in Patent Literature 1 and Patent Literature 2, the guidance is given with use of the audio message. Thus, effective guidance information can be provided to a user who can understand an audio content. Meanwhile, there arises a problem in that some users cannot understand an audio guidance due to, for example, a linguistic difference in some cases. Further, when multiple-language guidance service is to be provided, an announcement audio source is required for each language and each content. Thus, there arises a problem in that a data amount is increased. Further, in the audio guidance, there arises the following problem. When a landing is crowded, a voice of the audio guidance is mixed with a voice of a passenger and is hard to hear and distinguish in some cases.

The present invention has been made to solve the problems described above, and has an object to provide an elevator landing guidance device and an elevator, with which a user can be smoothly guided to a landing for a corresponding elevator machine even when the landing is crowded regardless of a linguistic difference.

Solution to Problem

According to one embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an elevator landing guidance device, including: a hall operation panel, which is provided on each of floors, and which is configured to accept input of landing call registration; and a guide sound generator, which is provided to a landing of each of the floors for each of elevator machines, and which is configured to output a first guide sound for informing a position of the landing, wherein, when the landing call registration is input to the hall operation panel, the guide sound generator corresponding to one of the elevator machines, which is assigned to the landing call registration, outputs the first guide sound.

Advantageous Effects of Invention

With the elevator landing guidance device according to one embodiment of the present invention, a user is guided to a landing with use of the first guide sound. As a result, even when the landing is crowded, the user can be smoothly guided to the landing for a corresponding elevator machine regardless of a linguistic difference.
