Abstract: A method for identifying an elevator allocated by an elevator system for a user of the elevator system is provided, which elevator system includes a plurality of elevators, and an apparatus that communicates with the elevator system, more particularly with the control system of it, and that is available to a user, which apparatus includes a display. In the method a real-time view of the landscape behind the display is transmitted via the display to the front of the display to the user, and predetermined graphics are presented to the user on the display at a point that transmits to the user a real-time view of the allocated elevator, or in the immediate proximity of said point. An arrangement for identifying an elevator allocated by an elevator system for a user of the elevator system, and also to an elevator arrangement is provided, which implement the aforementioned method.

Abstract: The invention allows verification of authenticity of a maintenance means connectable to a controller of a passenger transportation/access device of a building. A digitally signed license key including a public asymmetric cryptography key of the maintenance means and optionally a one-way hash of a unique identifier of the maintenance means is used for this verification. Furthermore, an asymmetric cryptography key pair of the maintenance means and a symmetric cryptography key created by the controller are utilized in this verification.

Abstract: The invention allows checking the validity of a license of a maintenance unit for accessing a controller of a passenger transportation/access device of a building, without a need for an online connection to a service center or the like. An expiration time of the license is read from an encrypted license file stored in the maintenance unit in response to detecting the maintenance unit being connected to the controller. A manufacturing time and a current usage time of the controller, both stored in a secure memory of the controller, are read. A total of the manufacturing time and the current usage time of the controller are compared to the expiration time of the license. In response to the total not exceeding the expiration time, the license is determined to be valid.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus. In the method a determining a first position of a user of a mobile node is determined at a first time instant. A second position of the user of the mobile node is determined at a second time instant. A time difference is determined between the first time instant and the second time instant. A walking speed of the user is determined using the time difference, the first position and the second position. A third position of the user of the mobile node is determined. A walking time required for the user to reach at least one elevator is determined from the third position based on the walking speed of the user. An elevator call and the walking time are transmitted to an elevator call control node.

Abstract: The invention allows pre-allocation of an elevator call in an elevator system with destination control. A first signal is received at an elevator group controller of an elevator system with destination control. The first signal indicates that an passenger including a passenger is detected to be approaching the elevator system at one of multiple floors associated with the elevator system. In response, allocation of an elevator call for the detected passenger is initiated, wherein the one of the multiple floors is assigned as the departure floor for the elevator call.
