PURPOSE: To remove the sense of unease even if a plurality of VIP riding place calls are generated by lighting a riding place introducing lamp on the corresponding floor only while a VIP riding place call switch is on when a VIP (specific important person) riding place signal can be or is already registered in a special riding place call registering means.

CONSTITUTION: When it is judged whether a VIP riding place call signal from a VIP riding place call switch VC can be registered or is already registered in a VIP riding place call registering device 41 by a function that an operation command generating device 46 possesses, only during the period when the VIP riding place call switch VC on a specific floor is ON, a riding place introducing lamp HC on that floor is lit via a call handling control device 44, a response control device 45, and the operation command generating device 46. As the VIP riding place call switch VC is turned off, the riding place introducing lamp HC is turned off. Thereby, a VIP riding place call can be registered without causing a sense of unease to a VIP call generator, without requiring wasteful time and labor, and without inviting the misunderstanding of general riders.
