Abstract:
An elevator system includes at least one elevator, call-giving appliances in elevator lobbies, and a device configured to detect contact patterns in an identification area on a floor surface of at least one elevator lobby. A user to be connected to a call given from the elevator lobby is classified based on the contact pattern, the type data of the call is associated with the call based on the classification, and the call and the type data is transmitted to the control system of the elevator system to control the elevators.
Abstract:
An elevator entrance apparatus includes a reading device for reading transmission information from a transmission device, and a control device for controlling operation of an elevator based on information as to whether transmission information has been read by the reading device or not. The reading device reads transmission information only when the transmission device is within a predetermined detection range on an inner side of an elevator entrance.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for allocating elevator calls in an elevator system (10) comprising at least one elevator (12a-12c), which elevator system (10) is controlled by an elevator control (16) comprising a destination call allocation control, wherein passenger IDs are inputted into at least one I/O-device (20) of the elevator system (10), whereafter based on the passenger ID a destination call is issued comprising the floor of the I/O-device (20) as departure floor and a preset or inputted destination floor as destination floor of the elevator call. According to the invention when a new destination call is issued, it is checked whether or not a destination call is still pending under the same passenger ID, and if a destination call of said person is still pending, either the new call or the pending call is cancelled.
Abstract:
An illustrative example method of controlling an elevator system includes detecting a number of passengers waiting for elevator service at a landing, detecting an available passenger capacity of a plurality of elevator cars, respectively, and assigning at least one of the elevator cars to travel to the landing to provide elevator service to the passengers based on the detected number of passengers and the available passenger capacity of the at least one of the elevator cars.
Abstract:
An elevator calling operation based on a wrist-wearable smart device. An elevator calling operation system of the present invention comprises: an elevator control apparatus, and a wrist-wearable smart device wirelessly connected to the elevator control apparatus, wherein the wrist-wearable smart device comprises an identity identification module which stores identity identification information about a passenger, and a motion sensor which is used for acquiring elevator calling motion information about the passenger performing an elevator calling operation, and the wrist-wearable smart device transmits the elevator calling motion information, in association with the identity identification information, to the elevator control apparatus; and the elevator control apparatus comprises: a passenger identity recognition module and an elevator calling operation recognition module, the elevator calling operation recognition module used for recognizing the elevator calling operation of the passenger according to the elevator calling motion information from the motion sensor.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a solution for controlling an elevator system, which elevator system includes at least one elevator, call-giving appliances in the elevator lobbies, and also a device for detecting in the desired identification area contact patterns directed onto the floor surface of at least one elevator lobby. A user to be connected to a call given from the elevator lobby is classified on the basis of the contact pattern produced by the user, the type data of the call is connected to the call on the basis of the classification, and the call with its type data is transmitted to the control system of the elevator system for controlling the elevators.
Abstract:
A method for intelligent control of an elevator to give priority to a floor containing the total highest priority of passengers acquires first images taken by first cameras, identifies targets in the first images, and determines priority levels of the targets. In response to receiving a plurality of first service signals from a number of floors in a building, the method controls a driving unit to drive an elevator to move to service the passengers as targets with a highest total priority level according to individual priority levels of the targets within a group of passengers waiting on each floor of the building.
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for assisting limited or handicapped persons wherein an infrastructure unit periodically transmits a signal with an auxiliary function offer from the infrastructure unit, wherein a mobile communication unit, which is situated close to the infrastructure unit, of the limited or handicapped person receives the signal with the auxiliary function offer and takes a use authorization certificate as a basis for forming a signal with an auxiliary function request and returns it to the infrastructure unit, and wherein the infrastructure unit provides at least one auxiliary function for the limited or handicapped person in accordance with the auxiliary function request. This may assist limited or handicapped persons with the auxiliary functions suitable for them in the region of infrastructure elements, e.g., escalators, revolving doors and lifts, in a simple and inexpensive manner, with misuse largely being precluded.
Abstract:
A passenger conveyance special loading system includes a depth-sensing sensor for capturing depth map data of objects within a field of view. A processing module in communication with the depth-sensing sensor receives the depth map data, the processing module uses the depth map data calculate passenger data associated with an object to determine a special loading condition. A passenger conveyance controller receives the passenger data from the processing module, the passenger conveyance controller controls a passenger conveyance dispatch control function in response to the special loading condition.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method and an elevator system for serving passenger-specific destination calls. The elevator system comprises at least one elevator and also means for determining the acceleration data of an elevator car of the aforementioned elevator. In the method a passenger-specific destination call is registered, which destination call comprises at least information about the destination floor of a passenger. The vertical acceleration of the passenger is measured with a terminal device in the possession of the passenger. The acceleration data of each elevator car leaving a floor is compared with the acceleration data of the passenger. If there is sufficient correlation between the acceleration data of the passenger and the acceleration data of any of the aforementioned elevator cars, the elevator car in question is guided to the destination floor according to the destination call.
