An elevator safety monitoring device is provided that can secure safety of a maintenance person who rides on a riding portion on a car. An elevator safety monitoring device includes an approach judgment unit which judges whether a counterweight of an elevator system approaches a car when a maintenance person is riding on a riding portion on the car of the elevator system and a safety securing unit which performs safety control for the elevator system so as to secure safety of the maintenance person when the approach judgment unit judges that the counterweight approaches the car.

An audio system for an elevator includes two or more speaker cabinets arranged inside a suspended ceiling fixed to a ceiling board of a car of the elevator, an input device to which sound content radiated to an inside of the car from each of the two or more speaker cabinets are input, and a sound field control device configured to conduct phase control and reverberation time control for the sound content and thereby cause a sound wave based on the sound content to be radiated from the speaker cabinet to the inside of the car. Each of the speaker cabinets includes a casing arranged inside the suspended ceiling, and a speaker unit arranged inside the casing and having a radiation surface that radiates the sound wave.

A method for dispatching an elevator car that includes determining the elevator car is located at a first location of a plurality of locations, and a predefined positional count corresponds to each of the plurality of locations. The method includes determining a positional count of the elevator car at the first location, and determining a load of the elevator car at the first location based on a difference between the positional count and the predefined positional count corresponding to the first location. The method includes controlling an operation of the elevator car based on the load of the elevator car at the first location.

Floor content information of an elevator is described. According to an embodiment, a device is disclosed, comprising: a processor; a storage comprising a set of instructions; wherein the set of instructions cause the processor to: Receive a destination floor of the elevator; Receive information describing content of the destination floor, wherein the content identifies the content located within the destination floor; Based on the destination floor and the information describing the content of the destination floor, display a data notification to at least one user using the elevator travelling to the destination floor. According to other embodiments, an elevator, a method and a computer program product is described along with the features of the device.

The present invention relates to the guidance for a passenger to enter a correct elevator car, belonging to the field of elevator intelligent control technologies. In a method for guiding a passenger to enter a correct elevator car provided in the present invention, the movement of the passenger relative to one of a plurality of elevator cars is determined based on a change in the signal strength of a received first wireless signal; and whether the movement is a movement corresponding to entering a correct elevator car is judged based on a recognition result. The present invention can realize that a passenger is automatically guided to enter a correct elevator car by means of the change in a vibration signal and/or a voice prompt signal.
