Abstract:
Disclosed is an elevator system including a controller, wherein the controller is configured for: engaging in a first communication with a facial recognition system that identifies a pet and a first person as owner of the pet, and rendering a plurality of determinations from the first communication, including: a first determination that the pet is proximate a first elevator lobby in a building, a second determination to provide instructions to a first elevator car responsive to the first communication, and engaging in a second communication with the first elevator car for effecting the second determination.
Abstract:
Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products that can facilitate elevator analytics and/or elevator optimization components are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a prediction component that can predict a current destination of an elevator passenger based on historical elevator usage data of the elevator passenger. The computer executable components can further comprise an assignment component that can assign the elevator passenger to an elevator based on the current destination.
Abstract:
An elevator system is provided. Aspects includes an elevator car, a sensor affixed to the elevator car, wherein the sensor is operated by a controller, the controller is configured to receive occupancy data associated with the elevator car. The occupancy data is analyzed to determine an occupancy of the elevator car. A first hall call is received and based at least in part on the occupancy and the first hall call, adjusting operation of the elevator car in the elevator system.
Abstract:
The invention refers to a passenger transport system having a plurality of passenger transporters controlled by an transport system control, which passenger transport system further comprises at least one parameter memory configured to store at least one parameter or parameter set for the function of at least one transport system component, which transport system comprises at least one first wireless interface, which first interface is configured to input data regarding at least one stored parameter or parameter set for the function of the related transport system component(s). The passenger transport system comprises mobile devices carried by users, which mobile devices are configured to communicate wirelessly with the first interface, which communication is based on a short range transmission. The mobile devices are configured to be prompted by the first interface to transmit data regarding the parameter or parameter set of the correlated transport system component. The invention allows the customizing of a passenger system interaction with a user to individual user requirements.
Abstract:
An elevator system can be operated while recording the energy consumption of at least one energy consumer of the elevator system and at least one traffic situation of the elevator system. At least one energy consumption value is determined for the recorded energy consumption and the recorded traffic situation, and the calculated energy consumption value is output to at least one output means.
Abstract:
An elevator system having a double or multiple elevator cabins per elevator shaft can be controlled using a method, wherein at least one destination call is entered or at least one identification code is received on at least one call entry floor, said destination call or identification code designating an arrival floor; wherein at least one trip by at least one elevator cabin of the double or multiple elevator cabin from a departure floor to an arrival floor is determined for the destination call or identification code; wherein before determining a trip, it is determined whether at least one situation-specific parameter is fulfilled; and if said situation-specific parameter is fulfilled, at least one situation-compatible call assignment is determined for a trip having a floor difference of zero between the call entry floor and the departure floor or having a floor difference of zero between the destination floor and the arrival floor.

Abstract:
Methods and systems for elevator control are provided. The methods and systems include receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a request for at least one service associated with an elevator system from a user device, controlling an elevator car to travel to a specific floor in accordance with the request, controlling an elevator car door to be closed upon arriving at the specific floor, transmitting an indicator to the user device that the elevator car has arrived at the specific floor, and controlling the elevator car door to open upon receiving, by the computing device, an access request from the user device.
Abstract:
In an elevator system using multiple-deck elevator cars (130, 132), an elevator passenger (154) travels between a floor in a first zone (170) in a building (120) and a floor in a second zone (172) in the building (120). The passenger (154) travels first from one of the zones (170, 172) to a ground floor lobby (100, 101). Within a given amount of time after arriving at the lobby (100, 101), the identified passenger (154) is allowed to place an elevator call for an elevator traveling to the other zone (170, 172). Even if the call is for a destination floor not usually served from the particular ground floor lobby (100, 101), the passenger (154) is allowed to travel to the destination floor as requested.
Abstract:
A group management controller of elevators which can control a special call operation efficiently even with a double deck elevator. The group management controller (10) of elevators for controlling a plurality of double deck elevators comprises a general call input means (3), a general call assignment control means (4) for evaluating/operating the results obtained by assigning an inputted general call to the upper and lower cages of a plurality of elevators and performing control to let a cage having the best evaluation value respond to a landing floor call, a special call input means (5) consisting of special call buttons (2) which can be used only by special users, a special call response control means (6) performing control such that a special call is assigned to an elevator having any one of empty upper and lower cage which can respond to an inputted special call earliest or to a predetermined special elevator, and a general call assignment alteration means (7) for reassigning a general call already assigned to the upper and lower cages of a specific elevator newly assigned with a special call to an other elevator thus limiting a new assignment.
