Abstract:
A passenger conveyance system (20) includes a processing module in communication with one or more sensors (284) to receive depth map data, and one or more security sensors (280) to receive security data, the processing module using the depth map data and the security data to calculate passenger data that is operable to recognize a particular passenger. An elevator controller (32) receives the passenger data from the processing module, wherein the elevator controller (32) controls an elevator dispatch control function in response to the particular passenger.
Abstract:
A passenger conveyance system includes a depth-sensing sensor (92) within a passenger conveyance enclosure (22) for capturing depth map data of objects within a field of view that includes a passenger conveyance door. A processing module (96) in communication with the depth-sensing sensor (92) receives the depth map data, the processing module (96) using the depth map data to determine that the passenger conveyance enclosure (22) is empty. A passenger conveyance controller (32) receives the passenger data from the processing module (96) to control operation of a passenger conveyance door in response to an empty car determination.
Abstract:
A passenger conveyance special loading system includes a depth-sensing sensor (162) for capturing depth map data of objects within a field of view. A processing module (166) in communication with the depth-sensing sensor (162) receives the depth map data, the processing module (166) uses the depth map data to calculate passenger data associated with an object to determine a special loading condition. A passenger conveyance controller (32) receives the passenger data from the processing module (166), the passenger conveyance controller (172) controls a passenger conveyance dispatch control function in response to the special loading condition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the field of passenger conveyor technologies, and provides a monitoring system of a passenger conveyor and a monitoring method thereof. In the monitoring system and detection method, a monitored object of the passenger conveyor (900) is sensed by using an imaging sensor and/or a depth sensing sensor (310) to acquire a data frame, and the data frame is analyzed by a processing apparatus (100) to monitor whether the monitored object is in a normal state. The monitored object is a barrier (905) used in a maintenance and repair working condition.
Abstract:
A method (400) of operating a building elevator system within a building having a plurality of landings including: controlling a first elevator group (404); controlling a second elevator group (406); adjusting a range of landings served by one or more elevator systems of the second elevator group in response to at least one of the predicted passenger response time, the time of day, the amount of traffic received by the first elevator group, the amount of traffic received by the second elevator group, the amount of traffic within the first range of landings, the amount of traffic within the second range of landings, the amount of traffic received by the first elevator group relative to the amount of traffic received by the second elevator group, and the amount of traffic within the first range of landings relative to an amount of traffic within the second range of landings (410).
Abstract:
A method of operating a secure input/output system or a mobile device is provided. This method is particularly advantageous when the secure input/output system or the mobile device is a technician's service tool. The method includes determining whether an eavesdropping attack of the secure input/output system or the mobile device is underway and outputting information through a display device of the secure input/output system or the mobile device only upon determining that there is no eavesdropping attack currently underway.
Abstract:
A self-calibrating sensor system is provided and includes one or more sensors supportively disposed on or proximate to a wall defining one or more apertures and a processor. Each of the one or more sensors is configured to track individuals proximate to at least one of the one or more apertures. The processor is configured to determine one or more of a location and an orientation of each of the one or more sensors relative to the at least one of the one or more apertures from analyses of the tracking of the individuals.
Abstract:
A method of operating an elevator system is provided. The method comprising: detecting an occupancy status of the elevator car, the occupancy status comprising at least one of occupied and unoccupied; selecting a motion profile of the elevator car in response to the occupancy status, the motion profile comprising at least one of an unoccupied motion profile, an occupied motion profile, an occupied lateral movement motion profile, a power-save motion profile, and an occupied descent motion profile; and moving the elevator car in accordance with the motion profile selected.
