Abstract:
An elevator controller includes a microphone that receives voice of a passenger in a car, a memory that, for a destination floor specifying operation for the passenger to specify a destination floor by voice, stores a first keyword defined beforehand to signify an operation start and second keywords defined beforehand to signify a destination floor, a voice recognition unit that compares a voice inputted from the microphone with the stored first and second keywords, and a controller that, when the door of the car is fully open or fully close, the voice recognition unit recognizes the first keyword and thereafter recognizes a second keyword, registers a destination floor corresponding to the second keyword. The controller outputs a command to suspend an operation to open or close the door of the car until the destination floor specifying operation is ended after the voice recognition unit recognizes the first keyword.
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 method and system for generating automatic destination calls for an elevator system, in which system is a revolving door. A passenger approaching the revolving door or in a door sector of the revolving door is identified, a destination call to the home floor of the passenger is generated and the elevator serving the passenger is announced at the revolving door.
Abstract:
An elevator device includes: a first reader, a second reader, a determination section, and a request output section. The first reader is provided in a hall of an elevator. The second reader is provided in a car of the elevator. In the case where identification information has been read by the first reader, the determination section determines whether or not the identification information has been read by the second reader before the reading thereof by the first reader. On the basis of the identification information read by the first reader, the request output section outputs a registration request for a call to a control section. In the case where the determination section determines that the identification information has been read by the second reader, the request output section does not output a registration request for a call corresponding to the identification information to the control section.
Abstract:
An elevator system includes a destination control system and an input system. An elevator car is called by an identification-device of a passenger being read by the input system. The destination control system is designed to recognize a signal-pattern that is produced by the passenger moving the respective identification device relative to parts of the input system. The destination control system is programmed to process different programs depending on the signal-pattern. Furthermore, a method for biasing elevator movements of such elevator systems is disclosed.
Abstract:
A user can input commands into a lock by gesturing on a surface of the lock. The gesture is made by sliding a finger over multiple buttons on the lock surface. The lock recognizes the gesture based on the buttons touched by the sliding finger and the order in which they were touched. The lock associates a particular command with the recognized gesture.
Abstract:
Method and system for generating automatic destination calls for an elevator system, in which system is a revolving door. A passenger approaching the revolving door or in a door sector of the revolving door is identified, a destination call to the home floor of the passenger is generated and the elevator serving the passenger is announced with the information means that are in connection with the revolving door.
Abstract:
A method for enabling the use of an elevator system by disabled persons includes detecting at least one position change of a user using at least one sensor, said position change being in the form of at least one signal and at least one reference signal. The signal is then compared to the reference signal. At lease one signal status change is generated when at least one predefined comparison result is fulfilled. For the generated signal state change, the elevator system is at least partially brought to an operating mode enabling the use thereof by disabled persons.
Abstract:
A method, a computer-readable data storage device and a system include determining a starting floor level in a building based on a received movement signal for a building door in the building, identifying a lighting unit along a path in the starting level floor between the building door and an elevator door on the starting floor level, and activating the identified lighting unit. The movement signal can be based upon a building door on the starting floor has been opened for a person and in response sending an elevator cabin to the elevator door at the starting floor to receive the person.
Abstract:
A method for determining a destination call for use by an elevator installation with a control unit and at least one destination call device includes ascertaining several destination calls and making them known to the user by the destination call device. A destination call is selected by a change in position of the user and/or a data communication is activated between the destination call device and a communications unit, which is carried by the user, within a defined range of a radio link section of the destination call device and thereupon a destination call is selected by a change in position of the communications unit inside or outside the radio link section. The selected destination call is communicated to the control unit for serving the destination call.
