A method of delivering packages using a robot delivery system including: obtaining information about a package from an online ordering platform application programing interface, the information about the package including at least a destination of the package; transmitting the information about the package to a first robot; instructing the first robot to obtain the package or retain the package; and instructing the first robot to deliver the package to the destination using a conveyance system.

An interaction safety control between an elevator system and a machine passenger. An interaction safety control method between an elevator system and a machine passenger, which includes: receiving a command from the machine passenger; based on a received command, determining the safety of the command with respect to the elevator system; and in case that the command is determined to be unsafe with respect to the elevator system, not sending the command to an elevator control device of the elevator system.

A method of processing elevator calls in an elevator system. The method includes counting a number of elevator door reversals at an elevator car; comparing the number of elevator door reversals to an elevator door reversal threshold; upon the number of elevator door reversals exceeding the elevator door reversal threshold, reassigning at least one elevator call for the elevator car to one or more second elevator cars.

Provided are embodiments of a method for operating a receiverless device positioning. The method includes receiving a first request corresponding to a first location, registering data associated with the first request, and receiving a second request at a second location, the first location is different than the second location. The method also includes comparing the first and second location, and time between the first request and the second request, and allowing the second request based at least in part on the comparison. Also provided are embodiments of a system configured to perform receiverless positioning.

A passenger transport system includes a plurality of passenger transporters controlled by a transport system control, and further comprises at least one parameter memory configured to store at least one parameter or parameter set for the function of at least one transport system component, which transport system comprises a first wireless interface. The first interface may input data regarding at least one stored parameter or parameter set for the function of the related transport system component(s). The passenger transport system comprises mobile devices carried by users, which mobile devices may communicate wirelessly with the first interface, which communication is based on a short range transmission. The mobile devices may be prompted by the first interface to transmit data regarding the parameter or parameter set of the correlated transport system component. A passenger system interaction with a user to individual user requirements may be customized.

According to an aspect, there is provided elevator control system coupled to an autonomous vehicle control system. The elevator control system is configured to receive an elevator call associated with a user; receive an indication of a demand for an autonomous vehicle, the indication being associated with the elevator call; and transmit a request for an autonomous vehicle to an autonomous vehicle control system based on the elevator call and the indication.

A station device in a biometric pre-identification system uses identity to perform one or more actions. Identities are determined (such as via a backend) using biometric information. A biometric pre-identification device obtains biometric information and/or a digital representation thereof from a person approaching the station device. The biometric pre-identification device transmits such to the station device, facilitating the station to begin and/or perform various actions. The station device begins or performs the actions using the identity determined based on the biometric information before the person arrives at the station device.

An elevator system is provided and includes a sensor assembly and a controller. The sensor assembly is disposable in or proximate to an elevator lobby and is configured to deduce an intent of an individual in the elevator lobby to board one of one or more elevators and to issue a call signal in response to deducing the intent of the individual to board the one of the elevators. The controller is configured to receive the call signal issued by the sensor assembly and to assign one or more of the elevators to serve the call signal at the elevator lobby.

An elevator system is provided. The system comprises a first acquisition unit that acquires an image in a car of an elevator and an image of a landing of the elevator; a first generation unit that generates first learning data from the acquired images; a learning unit that performs learning using the first learning data, thereby generating a first learned model; a second generation unit that generates input data from a new image; an estimation unit that estimates, by applying the input data to the first learned model, whether the person on the landing of the elevator, which is included in the new image, gets in the elevator; and a control unit that controls an operation of the elevator based on an estimation result.
