Abstract
Abstract In a supervisory system for elevators, a learning function for changing and controlling the operations of the elevators so as to be suited to the traffic conditions of a building is provided. The traffic conditions are automatically learned by taking the statistics therefor to revise the learing function program by externally applying revisional information, where alterations of the learning function program conforming to traffic conditions in the building are made possible to render the learning function flexible.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
A supervisory system for at least one elevator comprising: statistical means for generating statistical data of traffic conditions of the elevator over a predetermined period according to at least one threshold value; means for executing a learning function program for predicting traffic values on the basis of at least one adjustment value and the statistical data from the statistical means and for controlling the elevator in accordance with the predicted traffic value; information input means for supplying revision information; and revision means for revising the threshold value and the adjustment value in accordance with the revision information supplied by the information input means, thereby revising the generation of statistical data and the prediction of traffic values.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
A supervisory system for at least one elevator comprising: statistical means for generating statistical data of traffic conditions of the elevator over a predetermined period according to at least one threshold value; means for executing a learning function program for predicting traffic values on the basis of at least one adjustment value and the statistical data from the statistical means and for controlling the elevator in accordance with the predicted traffic value; information input means for supplying revision information; and revision means for revising the threshold value and the adjustment value in accordance with the revision information supplied by the information input means, thereby revising the generation of statistical data and the prediction of traffic values.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
95 words
A supervisory system for at least one elevator comprising: means for collecting a plurality of elevator traffic values according to at least one threshold value; means for generating an elevator control value including means for statistically processing the elevator traffic values to provide a statistical value and modifying the statistical value by an adjustment value to provide the elevator control value; means for controlling the elevator in accordance with the elevator control value; and means for inputting revision information and for revising the threshold value and the adjustment value in accordance with the revision information.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
95 words
A supervisory system for at least one elevator comprising: means for collecting a plurality of elevator traffic values according to at least one threshold value; means for generating an elevator control value including means for statistically processing the elevator traffic values to provide a statistical value and modifying the statistical value by an adjustment value to provide the elevator control value; means for controlling the elevator in accordance with the elevator control value; and means for inputting revision information and for revising the threshold value and the adjustment value in accordance with the revision information.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
113 words
