Abstract:
An exemplary system for communicating with an elevator passenger includes a plurality of elevator passenger interface devices configured to allow an elevator passenger to indicate at least an elevator service request. The interface devices are configured to communicate at least elevator service information to an elevator passenger. A server communicates with the plurality of interface devices. The server is configured to determine when there is input at any of the interface devices. The server is configured to determine a meaning of such input. The server is also configured to determine output to provide at the corresponding interface device and to communicate the determined output to the corresponding interface device. The determined output is responsive to the determined meaning of the input.
Abstract:
A system and method of dispatching an elevator car (102) in an elevator system (100) including an elevator fixture (106) in communication with at least one elevator control system (104), wherein the elevator fixture includes a fixture communication device (108) disposed therein. The method including the steps: operating a mobile device (112) to receive a travel request, operating the mobile device to transmit a travel signal (114) based on the travel request, operating the elevator fixture to receive the travel signal; and operating the elevator fixture to receive and transmit dispatch information.
Abstract:
A system and method that processes a destination to derive a target floor based on receiving an elevator call that indicates a source floor and the destination. Further the system and method causes an elevator to travel between the source floor and the target floor in response processing the destination and performs at least one of a plurality of wayfinding operations upon arrival of the elevator at the target floor.
Abstract:
A method for automatically dispatching an elevator 110 based on a user's location is provided. The method includes querying a device 104 to determine a user's source floor and confirming the user's source floor. The method also includes querying the device to suggest the user's destination floor based on a history of destination floors traveled to by the user; and confirming the user's destination floor.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a selection of an icon that corresponds to a request for access to at least one of a resource and an activity associated with a conveyance device, receiving, by the computing device, a pass code, determining, by the computing device, that the pass code corresponds to the icon, and causing, by the computing device, the requested access to be provided based on determining that the pass code corresponds to the icon.
Abstract:
A system and a method of notifying a user of an elevator assignment are provided. The method includes receiving, from an input device, an elevator call at an elevator controller from a user, calling, using the elevator controller, an elevator car based on the elevator call, generating, using the elevator controller, a call notification, receiving the call notification at a plurality of displays, and displaying the call notification on the plurality of displays based on a display parameter.
Abstract:
A system and a method of implementing and using a preset elevator call using an elevator system and a mobile device are provided. The method includes generating the preset elevator call that includes programmed conditions that include a destination floor, storing the preset elevator call in a user profile on the mobile device and at least one corresponding triggering condition, retrieving the preset elevator call based on detecting the corresponding triggering condition, and executing the retrieved preset elevator call.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method of initiating elevator service by entering an elevator call with a call input device operating a program including a plurality of graphical objects displayed on a graphic user interface, in communication with an elevator system. The method includes the steps: selecting a current floor graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects; and selecting a destination floor graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects.
Abstract:
An exemplary system for controlling an appearance of an elevator passenger interface device includes a configuration module that allows a user to configure an appearance file that contains information regarding a desired appearance of the passenger interface device. A processor uses the information from the appearance file to provide an image file to the passenger interface device so that a display of the device corresponds to the image file.
Abstract:
A system and method of managing an elevator system based on a location and status of a mobile device is provided. The method includes determining a current status of a mobile device, receiving a destination request from the mobile device, and dispatching an elevator car based on the destination request and the current status.
