To make it possible to comprehensively predict the movement of people by associating an elevator control system in a facility such as a building and an external system other than this system with each other and thereby provide a new service that has not existed before. There is provided an elevator operation management system for controlling and managing multiple elevator devices in a facility, the system including: a reception unit that acquires information on the number of users to use the elevator devices and elevator car destination information; a learning unit that stores and learns, as past experience data, the information on the number of users and the elevator car destination information acquired from the reception unit; a per-floor number-of-people estimation unit that estimates the number of users getting off at each elevator hall floor using storage information of the learning unit; and a request information output unit that outputs the number of people getting off thus estimated in the facility to a system other than the elevator operation management system.

Elevator systems and methods for displaying information associated with the elevator systems. The systems including an elevator car located within an elevator shaft, a display located within the elevator car, and an elevator emergency monitoring system having an elevator shaft monitoring device mounted on the elevator car and configured to capture an image of the elevator shaft. The elevator car is operable in an emergency mode of operation such that an image captured by the elevator shaft monitoring device is displayed on the display within the elevator car.

Disclosed is an elevator inspection system, having: a sensor implement; a robotic platform supporting the sensor, the robotic platform configured to inspect a hoistway; a controller operationally connected to the robotic platform and the sensor, wherein the controller is configured to define hoistway model data for the hoistway, from sensor data, corresponding to locations and shape boundaries of the hoistway and doorway openings formed in the hoistway.

A door lintel assembly for an elevator, and an elevator system. The door lintel assembly includes: a door lintel panel having an opening thereon; a display device, which is installed on the door lintel panel via the opening, and which has a display screen on a first side of the door lintel panel, and electronic components on a second side of the door lintel panel; and a rotation device, which includes a first bracket installed on both sides of the door lintel panel, a second bracket fixedly installed, and a rotation mechanism connecting the first bracket and the second bracket, wherein the rotation mechanism drives the first bracket and the door lintel panel to rotate relative to the second bracket.

A passenger conveyor system has a controller and a safety device monitoring a safety-relevant system function. The safety device is in a “configured” state monitoring the safety-relevant function according to specifications when a target configuration parameter is stored. A system operating method includes: the controller receiving a first configuration parameter and a second configuration parameter created independently of the first parameter; transmitting the first and second parameters to the safety device; wherein the parameters relate to the same target configuration parameter; comparing the first and second parameters in the safety device and, when the parameters match within a prespecified tolerance, storing the corresponding target configuration parameter in the safety device and transmitting the target configuration parameter and/or a “configured” signal from the safety device to the controller. The controller controls the functionalities of the passenger conveyor system according to whether it received the target configuration parameter and/or the “configured” signal.

According to an aspect, a method includes monitoring a plurality of vibration data by a vibration monitoring beacon and determining that the vibration monitoring beacon has been installed at a service location based on detecting an installation characteristic signature in the vibration data. The vibration monitoring beacon can transition into a learning mode based on determining that the vibration monitoring beacon has been installed at the service location. The method can also include monitoring for a learning mode termination event and transitioning the vibration monitoring beacon from the learning mode to a normal operation mode based on detecting the learning mode termination event.

A system structured to transport a load carrying structure along the vertical direction while maintaining a substantially horizontal orientation thereof. A lifting assembly includes at least one lifting devices movably connected to the load carrying structure via a corresponding hoist line. The lifting device is configured to control the hoist line to accomplish raising or lowering of the load caring structure. A detection assembly, including at least one inclinometer determines an angle of inclination of the load carrying structure during the vertical travel thereof. A control assembly is operatively associated with the lifting assembly and the detection assembly to adjust the operative speed of the lifting device and length of the hoisting line upon a determination of an angle of inclination of the load carrying structure deviating from a predetermined angle of inclination indicative of a level orientation of the load carrying structure.

The invention relates to an elevator comprising at least one elevator car moved by at least one elevator motor, which elevator motor is driven by a frequency converter controlled by a control device of the elevator, the frequency converter comprising a rectifier bridge, an inverter bridge and a DC link connected in-between, the inverter bridge being connected to the elevator motor and the rectifier bridge being connected to AC mains via three phase supply lines comprising an LCL-filter and a mains switch. The elevator further comprises a backup power supply and a safety device of the control device, which in case of a mains power failure is configured to switch off the mains switch and to connect the backup power supply to the DC link and/or to at least one phase supply line, whereby the rectifier bridge is a bidirectional rectifier bridge being configured to convert DC supplied to the DC link from the backup power supply to an AC voltage supplied to at least two of the phase supply lines connected with at least one load circuit. An earth fault protection circuit for the load circuit is connected between earth and a common terminal of the capacitors of the LCL filter for monitoring an earth fault indicating signal, and which earth fault protection circuit is configured to issue an earth fault signal and/or initiating earth fault safety measures, dependent on the earth fault indicating signal.

A stairlift is configured to assist users by issuing voice-based messages in the event faults arise that could give concern to a user.

A method and system for controlling elevator dispatch is provided. User data, including user behavior, is collected from a number of users over a specified time period. Elevator use data for a number of elevators in a building is also collected over the specified time period. Applying the user data and elevator use data, an elevator dispatch model is constructed that predicts future elevator use according to predicted user needs. An elevator control system dispatches the elevators according to the dispatch model. The elevator dispatch model is refined according to feedback data collected from users over a subsequent time period.
