Abstract: The invention refers to an arrangement for the allocation of destination calls in an elevator system with at least two elevators, comprising a wireless transmitter device connected with an allocation control of the elevator system. The transmitter device interacts within a certain mutual distance with a wireless ID device carried by a passenger, which ID device is configured to transmit to the transmitter device an ID which is linked with a special transportation service in the elevator system. The elevator system comprises a memory with correlated operation parameters of the elevators which are linked to the particular special transportation service request of the ID device, whereby the ID device is configured to transmit ID data and/or a call with a departure floor and destination floor to the allocation control. The transmitter device is located within a transmitter accommodation space located at least in the vicinity of an elevator, whereby the transmitter device is located in the vicinity of a tag carrying a symbol correlated to the special transportation service.

Abstract: A hover button sensor unit, comprising: a power supply circuit (5-1), a capacitive sensor, a capacitance-to-digital conversion circuit (3), a control module, an acousto-optic feedback control circuit (5-3), and a communication circuit (5-2); The capacitive sensor is a convex structural arrangement of a central electrode (1-1) and a peripheral electrode (1-2). The capacitance-to-digital conversion circuit (3) measures self-capacitance and mutual capacitance of the central electrode (1-1) and the peripheral electrode (1-2) after human finger approaching, to calculate and determine whether a finger enters the area range and its dwell time, so that the control module outputs a control logic signal of the button; detecting the proximity of the human finger to the effective hover trigger area range above a certain central electrode (1-1) by means of the button formed by the sensor unit, providing three-state response to the human finger entering the effective hover trigger area range above a certain central electrode (1-1) by the acousto-optic feedback control circuit (5-3); The above mentioned technical scheme is reasonable in structural design, which can effectively resist various interference, fully utilize a low-cost of capacitance detection and mature CDC chip technology and provide a commercialized technical solution which can be popularized for hygienic sensitivity.

Abstract: Provided are an elevator charging system, a management server, a moving body, a moving body server, a charging method, and a storage medium storing program that make it possible to charge usage fees reflecting the demand of moving bodies. In a charging system (1), cars (5) transport moving bodies (11) between a plurality of floors. A communication unit (7a) receives usage requests each corresponding to one of the moving bodies (11). Each of the requests includes information about a call requesting assignment to one of the cars (5), and information about a desired price for a usage fee. An assignment unit (8) assigns each call to one of the cars (5) while prioritizing calls in requests having higher priority, based on information including the desired prices. A storage unit (9a) stores therein the fees charged for the requests of which the calls have been assigned.
