<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hospital elevator lighting control device which controls the amount of illumination light in a cage to prevent a patient carried in a stretcher by the elevator from being displeased by illumination light, and a lighting control system and a lighting control method using the lighting control device. <P>SOLUTION: According to an embodiment, a lighting control device which is connected to a plurality of pressure sensors placed side by side on a floor part near the door of a hospital elevator cage, and to a lighting apparatus which is installed in the ceiling part of the cage and can adjust the amount of light, includes a sensor information acquisition unit and an illumination light amount control unit. The sensor information acquisition unit acquires sensor information including information on identifying a pressure sensor which has sensed that pressure was applied to it. When sensor information on pressure sensors at two locations was acquired an odd number of times by the sensor information acquisition unit, the illumination light amount control unit assumes that a stretcher has been carried into the cage or unloaded from the cage, and controls the light amount of the lighting apparatus so as to be reversed from high to low or vice versa on the basis of the assumption. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
