An elevator display system includes: a sensing device; a mirror display device that is arranged in the cage on a side opposite to an elevator door, functions in a first state of being a mirror, and functions in a second state of being an image display unit; a content generation unit that generates the display image data to be displayed on the mirror display device; an in-cage condition judgment unit that judges condition of a user in the cage from the sensing data and outputs user information regarding the condition of the user; and a display control unit that outputs a control signal requesting generation of display image data for setting a display state of the whole or part of a display surface of the mirror display device to the first state or the second state to the display image generation unit-based on the user information.

Embodiments include techniques for synchronizing media content for users, the techniques include receiving a request, and estimating a wait time based on a current position of a component and a destination of the component. The techniques also include selecting units of content to be provided to a user based at least in part on the estimated wait time, and providing a sequence of the selected units of content.

According to an aspect, there is provided an elevator signalization apparatus. The elevator signalization apparatus comprises first receiving means for receiving floor information representing floor occupancy information associated with a building; output means for indicating floor occupancy to a user; second receiving means for receiving user associated information; and transmitting means for transmitting a control signal to an elevator controller based on the received user associated information.

Disclosed is a people flow management system including: an entryway through which people pass through, an image control apparatus that displays a first plurality of graphical indicia, the first plurality of graphical indicia being directed to controlling a flow of people passing through the entryway and comprising a first indicia indicative of the entryway being accessible for people passing through and a second indicia indicative of the entryway being inaccessible, wherein the image control apparatus displays an indicia from the first plurality of graphical indicia at one or more of a plurality of locations, the plurality of locations including: a first location above the entryway, and a second location on a floor below the entryway.

Public displays are used for various purposes. They are used for displaying any kind of information and even for controlling devices such as elevators. In order to provide best possible benefit the public display should be displaying information in a language that the viewer understands and in a manner that the user can read the text on the display. The user preferences may be selected and applied by requesting a user preference indication from a mobile device. If the room includes more than one person the user preference indication is received from a plurality of persons and the decision of user preferences to be used is done then based on the received indications.

An elevator system is provided. Aspects includes an elevator car, a sensor, and a projector affixed to the elevator car, wherein the projector is operated by a controller and the controller is configured to receive an indication of a presence of a passenger in the elevator car. A car operating panel is projected, by a projector, in the elevator car, wherein the car operating panel comprises a virtual element. An activation of the virtual element from the passenger is sensed by a sensor and an action is initiated based at least in part on sensing the activation of the virtual element.

A method of operating a building information conveyance system is provided. The method comprising: receiving one or more posts from a first user mobile device; determining at least one display screen to display the one or more posts; and displaying the one or more posts on the display screen.

A building security system includes an emergency communications system of an elevator installation, and a building alarm system. The emergency communications system has a communications interface to couple the emergency communications system to a remote elevator service central in an emergency situation, and an emergency call panel arranged in an elevator car to allow a passenger to communicate with the remote elevator service central via the communications interface while in the elevator car during the emergency situation. The building alarm system includes a plurality of sensor units arranged at predetermined locations of the building and selected to detect predetermined building events. The building alarm system is communicatively coupled to the emergency communications system of the elevator installation for communicating the building event to the elevator service central via the emergency communications system of the elevator installation and/or for receiving an action request from the remote elevator service central via the communications interface of the emergency communications system.

The invention is generally directed to an elevator display system which provides the illusion of observing a visual narrative of an elevator trip which is made to appear as if the actual elevator has glass walls and one is observing a fanciful elevator trip. The elevator can have a variety of different fanciful rides which are not restricted by the constraints of time, location or physics.

Elevator systems having an elevator car located within an elevator shaft, the elevator car moveable between a plurality of floors of a building, a car operating panel located within the elevator car and having a plurality of buttons operable for selection of a destination floor of the plurality of floors, a digital readable marker located within the elevator car that is at least one of scannable and readable by a user device, and a digital storage system having information stored thereon, the information including directory information, wherein the directory information includes information associated with the floors selectable by operation of the plurality of buttons. When a user device scans or reads the digital readable marker, the digital storage system transmits the directory information to the user device so that the user device can display the directory information to a passenger.
