Abstract:
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for automatically entering and leaving a ride apparatus. A method for automatically entering a ride apparatus comprises: establishing a wireless communication connection with a control system of the ride apparatus; sending, via the wireless communication connection, an automatic entering request to the control system, the automatic entering request comprising a ride starting position; receiving, via the wireless communication connection, status information sent by the control system; and determining, according to the status information, that the ride apparatus has arrived at the ride starting position, and automatically entering the ride apparatus.
Abstract:
An elevator car location sensing system includes at least one first barometric pressure sensor disposed at a sensor position. The first barometric pressure sensor is configured to measure at least one first barometric pressure at the sensor position. An elevator control module is configured to electrically communicate with at least one mobile terminal device that is movable among a plurality of different altitudes. The elevator control module receives a second barometric pressure from the mobile terminal device located at a current altitude, and determines the current altitude based on a comparison between the first barometric pressure and the second barometric pressure.
Abstract:
There is provided a group supervisory control device for an elevator, by which a plurality of elevator control devices are controlled as one group, including a hall call assignment means by which a specific car is assigned to a hall call registered by a hall call registration means; an operation prediction means by which, when the specific car has stopped at a responding hall, it is predicted which is the operation to the next hall registered by the hall call registration means, regenerative operation that regenerates power or power running operation that consumes power, and the time for which the regenerating operation or the power running operation is performed is predicted; and a door open time control means by which the time for which the regenerative operation or the power running operation of the specific car is performed, which is predicted by the operation prediction means, is compared with the remaining running time of any other car performing the power running operation or the regenerative operation already predicted, overlap time for which the specific car and any other car perform the regenerative operation and the power running operation simultaneously is calculated, and door open time set for the specific car, which is used for the calculation, is changed to determine the door open time that can obtain longer overlap time, whereby a door is closed.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for processing a call inputs of a user by an elevator controller of an elevator system, in which a user either inputs an outside call and an inside call, or a target call into the elevator controller, wherein the elevator controller generates at least two partial calls in response to the inside call or to the target call, wherein the partial calls comprise at least one outside call and/or at least one inside call, the target floor whereof is different to the target floor of the inside call input by the user. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method in which an elevator controller generates a target call or an inside call in response to an outside call. The invention also relates to corresponding elevator systems, which are configured for implementing this method.
Abstract:
Virtual hall call panel systems for elevator landings and methods of use are provided. The systems include a display and detection assembly positioned proximate an elevator landing door, the display and detection assembly including a projection device and a detection device, a display surface proximate the display and detection assembly configured to display a display image projected by the projection device of the display and detection assembly, and a controller configured to receive input from the display and detection assembly, the controller configured to determine an input based on a detected object detected by the detection device and send a signal based on the input to control an elevator system.
Abstract:
Systems, methods and devices for real-time contactless elevator service operation of an elevator includes a trained neural network (TNN) model. The TNN model is trained using a training processor with augmented datasets as a synthetic training dataset, to later perform elevator identifier recognition. The augmented data sets are generated from synthetic text images, the synthetic text images are augmented with different geometrical parameters and visual parameters to a predetermined number of variations in appearance to a set of training elevator identifiers. A camera captures a user image. A text image portion from the user image is extracted using the TNN model, and detects an elevator identifier in the extracted text image portion using the extracted text image portion and the TNN model. The detected elevator identifier is displayed for user confirmation or user cancellation, and upon user confirmation, generates a control command based the detected elevator identifier associated with an elevator service.
Abstract:
Provided is a server device with which it is possible to suitably discern whether a user uses an elevator. The server device comprises a first generation unit, a second generation unit, and an output unit. The first generation unit analyzes image data obtained from at least one or more camera devices and generates elevator information pertaining to the usage state of an elevator The second generation unit generates, on the basis of at least the generated elevator information, during-movement reference information that is referred to when the user moves. The output unit outputs the generated during-movement reference information to signage.
Abstract:
A method of calling an elevator car for an elevator system including: transmitting, using a first beacon, a first poll wireless signal, the first poll wireless signal having a first poll transmission speed; receiving, using the first beacon, a first response wireless signal from a passenger mobile device in response to the first poll wireless signal, the first response wireless signal having a first response transmission speed; determining a first time of flight between transmission of the first poll wireless signal from the first beacon and receipt of the first response wireless signal at the first beacon; calculating a first distance between the first beacon and the passenger mobile device based on the first time of flight, the first poll transmission speed, and the first response transmission speed; and determining a location of the passenger mobile device based on at least the first distance.
