Abstract: Methods and systems for making elevator service requests in a building. The method including obtaining a floor plan for the building and overlaying a measurement system of suitable scale onto the floor plan. The method also includes identifying relevant features and their location in the floor plan based on the measurement system, determining a pathway from a user device to a target area in the vicinity of an elevator door based on the relevant features, and computing a travel duration from the user device to the target area. Finally, the method includes assigning an elevator car to a user based on a user service request at the user device and the travel duration.

Abstract: A method of interconnecting a daisy chain communication network having a terminal managers and a plurality of managed switches and a plurality of fixtures operable as clients of a client server network. The method also includes transmitting a discovery message to a first fixture and a second fixture, capturing the discovery message in the first fixture and the second fixture, and determining a first head fixture and at least one of a second head fixture and a tail fixture. Furthermore, the method also includes discovering an intermediate fixture based on the first head fixture and the at least one of a second head fixture and a tail fixture, resolving which of the first head fixture and the at least one of a second head fixture and a tail fixture is to be identified as an active head fixture, and establishing the active head fixture and a passive tail fixture.

Abstract: A method includes recording a primary destination dispatch request from a primary passenger at a first floor position via a destination dispatch controller 115, identifying a terminal floor, providing a terminal floor call signal to the elevator control system via an overlay controller 110, moving an assigned elevator car in a travel direction of the terminal floor, recording at least one secondary destination dispatch request from a secondary passenger at a respective at least one secondary floor position via the destination dispatch controller, approximating a position of the assigned elevator car, determining a target floor position via the destination dispatch controller, entering a target floor call corresponding to the target floor position at a calculated time to stop the assigned elevator car at the target floor position, cancelling all pending calls via the elevator control system 102, and entering at least one recorded destination dispatch request to the elevator control system.

Abstract: An elevator car dispatching system (100) comprises an elevator control module (102) that controls operation of at least one elevator car. A position monitoring mechanism (104) is coupled to a first elevator car among the at least one elevator car. The position monitoring mechanism (104) is configured to output a position signal in response to movement of the first elevator car. The elevator car dispatching system (100) further comprises an electronic dispatch module (106) that is in electrical communication with the elevator control module (102) and the position monitoring mechanism (104). The dispatch module (106) is configured to determine a vertical position of the first elevator car based on the position signal. The dispatch module (106) is further configured to output a dispatch command signal commanding the elevator control module (102) to adjust operation of the first elevator car based on the vertical position.

Abstract: The disclosure herein includes a method for controlling elevators by an intelligent building system. The method includes receiving, by the intelligent building system, elevator calls initiated by passengers. Each elevator call can include a passenger identification corresponding to a passenger initiating the elevator call. The method further includes procuring passenger preference information based on the passenger identifications in response to the elevator calls and grouping the passengers with respect to the passenger preference information to produce passenger groups. The method further includes controlling the elevators to collect the passenger groups.
