A robot is configured in communication with the controller and configured to receive instructions from the controller. The instructions may include a portion of a verification procedure, wherein the robot is configured to perform one or more tasks based on the verification procedure. The robot includes at least one sensor configured to collect sensor data. At least one of the controller and the robot are configured to perform an operation in response to sensor data collected by the robot, with the operation being a determination if the elevator system operation is nominal or if further action is required.

Abstract: Methods and system for tuning automatic doors are provided. Aspects includes receiving, by a controller 302, a request to open an automatic door, the request inputted to a first interface 29, 30, 31 at a first location, determining an initial transfer time allowance TTA, the initial TTA comprising an initial duration of time between a door open request time and a door closing start time, wherein the initial TTA is based on the first location, operating, by the controller, the automatic door to open and remain open until an expiration of the initial TTA, determining an occurrence of a transfer, wherein the transfer occurs at a first time point, determining whether the transfer is associated with the request, storing, in a memory, the first time point, and determining an adjusted TTA based on the first time point for the at least one transfer, wherein the adjusted TTA is associated with the first interface.

Abstract: According to an aspect, a method of priority-based adjustment to display content is provided. The method includes determining a position of a first observer (102A) relative to a display device (104) and determining a position of a second observer (102B) relative to the display device (104). A first content screen associated with the first observer (102A) is displayed on the display device (104) based on determining that the first observer (102A) has a greater display priority than the second observer (102B) based at least in part on the position of the first observer (102A) and the position of the second observer (102B). A second content screen associated with the second observer (102B) is displayed on the display device (104) based on determining that the second observer (102B) has a greater display priority than the first observer (102A) based at least in part on the position of the first observer and the position of the second observer (102B).

Abstract: Embodiments include a system (300) and method for controlling doors in a multi-door system. A controller (302) is configured to control the multi-door system, wherein the multi-door system (300) includes a first door (308) and a second door (310), wherein the first door (308) is on a different side than the second door (310). One or more sensors (316) operably are coupled to the multi-door system (300) and the controller (302), wherein the one or more sensors (316) are configured to detect one or more conditions. The controller (302) includes a processor (304), wherein the processor (304) is configured to: receive an input from the one or more sensors (316), wherein the input comprises at least one of call information and crowd sensing information; responsive to the input, prioritize an operation of the first door (308) and the second door (310) based at least in part on the input; and operate the first door (308) and second door (310) based on the prioritization.

Abstract: A door system (10) is provided and includes a door assembly (13) operable to assume an open position at which an aperture (12) is opened and a closed position at which the aperture (12) is closed, a sensor assembly (14) and a controller (15). The controller (15) is coupled to the door assembly (13) and configured to instruct the door assembly (13) to normally assume the closed position and to assume the open position in accordance with an open signal being issued by the sensor assembly (14). The sensor assembly (14) is configured to track the individual, determine whether the individual is likely to be approaching the aperture (12) from the tracking and issue the open signal in accordance with a determination that the individual is likely to be approaching the aperture (12).
