20110036669 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM, ELEVATOR CONTROL DEVICE AND DESTINATION FLOOR RECEPTION TERMINAL DEVICE - In an elevator system, it is assumed that an elevator user presses a key “1” on a numerical keypad of a destination call registration device on the second basement floor to go to the first floor on the second basement level. In this case, the destination call registration device converts key information corresponding to the key “1” into floor information by using building specification data. The destination call registration device generates a destination call registration request which includes the floor information whereto the operation key information is converted and which requests registration of a destination call, and sends the destination call registration request to the group management control device. The group management control device registers the destination call for a destination floor indicated in the floor information included in the destination call registration request. The group management control device sets building specification data and sends the building specification data to the respective destination call registration devices. The destination call registration device uses the building specification data sent from the group management control device for conversion. | 02-17-2011 |
