Abstract:
A method for provisioning elevator service includes sensing, by a gesture interface comprising a sensor, a region in proximity to the gesture interface to obtain data; determining, by the gesture interface, that a first pattern in the data corresponds to a first gesture; and initiating a request for elevator service in response to determining that the first pattern corresponds to the first gesture.
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 system and/or method that establishes a proximity environment with respect to an elevator and detecting a position of a user device within the proximity environment is provided. Further the system and method determines a source floor and a destination floor respective to the user device and generating an elevator call to the elevator in accordance with the source floor and the destination floor.
Abstract:
A method and system for providing destination dispatch in an elevator control system, includes identifying a user, retrieving a user profile associated with the user, receiving a destination request associated with the user, analyzing the user profile and the destination request, determining a plurality of assignments, identifying a preferred assignment of the plurality of assignments, and prompting the user to opt-out of the preferred assignment.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, an identifier associated with a mobile device based on a passive transmission of the identifier by the mobile device, and based on the receipt of the identifier, scheduling at least one service associated with an elevator system based on an anticipated demand for the at least one service.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a request for at least one service associated with an elevator system from a mobile device over a cellular network, validating the request based on a determined location of the mobile device, and causing at least one resource associated with the at least one service to be scheduled based on the validating indicating that the request is approved.
Abstract:
Embodiments are directed to a method comprising: determining an altitude of a mobile device, determining a floor coinciding with the altitude, and requesting elevator service specific to the floor mapped to the mobile device location. Embodiments are directed to an apparatus comprising: memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed, cause the apparatus to: determine an altitude of the apparatus within a building, determine a floor within the building coinciding with the altitude, and request an elevator car to arrive at the floor.
Abstract:
A conveyance system includes a camera to generate an image of an area of interest; a dispatch system including a facial recognition unit and a profile unit, the facial recognition unit detecting facial features of a user in the image; the dispatch system determining if the facial features match a profile stored in the profile unit, the dispatch system scheduling car service in response to the facial features matching the profile stored in the profile unit; a system interface including a system interface camera, the system interface camera to generate a second image of the user at the system interface; the facial recognition unit detecting facial features of the user in the second image; the dispatch system determining if the facial features of the user in the second image match the profile stored in the profile unit.
