A passenger tracking system includes a multiple of sensors for capturing depth map data of objects. A processing module in communication with the multiple of sensors to receive the depth map data, the processing module uses the depth map data to track an object and calculate passenger data associated with the tracked object to generate a passenger tracking list that tracks each individual passenger in the passenger data from an origin lobby to a destination lobby and through an in-car track between the origin lobby and the destination lobby.

A building management robot includes a communication unit configured to recognize an identification device corresponding to a first divided space among at least one divided space in a building and acquire first identification information of the first divided space from the identification device, a camera configured to acquire image data including a position where the identification device is recognized, and a processor configured to recognize a user from the image data, confirm an authentication level of the first divided space of the recognized user from a database, and provide the user with a service based on the confirmed authentication level.

A method and a control device for controlling an at least one elevator are described, by which an arriving traffic intensity is detected, the traffic intensity being a number of passengers arriving at the at least one elevator during a traffic intensity determination period, a traffic amount value is determined by comparing the traffic intensity to a maximum building population, wherein the maximum building population is a maximum number of people in a building, and the at least one elevator is controlled based on the determined traffic amount value.

A method for inferring a health status of call devices in an elevator arrangement uses a monitoring device for implementing the method steps of: determining elevator usage information by detecting: changing of an opening status of an elevator door, interrupting of a light curtain at an entry to an elevator car, and/or changing of a weight of the elevator car; determining elevator travel information concerning a starting floor and/or a target floor for an elevator car motion taking place antecedent or subsequent to the detected elevator event; inferring the health status of a monitored one of the call devices based on the elevator usage information and on the elevator travel information. The method allows determining the health status of call devices such as car call devices and hall call devices with a reduced number of sensors.

A monitoring system for monitoring an operating status of an elevator of an elevator system including one or more elevators includes a passenger tracking portion arranged to determine passenger movement on one or more landings served by the elevator on basis of location indications received from a positioning system; and an elevator status analysis portion arranged to detect a failure in operation of the elevator on basis of the passenger movement determined for a monitoring period.

This elevating machine operation information display system comprises: a collection unit that collects, from one or more control boards that control a plurality of elevating machines installed in the same site, elevating machine operation information for each period set for the elevating machine; and a data conversion unit that converts the collected operation information to operation information at preset intervals. In addition, elevating machine usage information that includes at least one of the average call duration and the number of people landing and exiting at halls in the site are caused to be output and displayed on the basis of the operation information converted by the data conversion unit.

A method for object detection within an elevator car including: transmitting radar signals at a selected polarization into an elevator car towards an individual; receiving reflected radar signals at a reflected polarization; comparing the reflected polarization to the selected polarization; determining that the individual is in possession of a metal object in response to comparing the reflected polarization to the selected polarization; and activating an alert in response to the determining that the individual is in possession of the metal object.

Disclosed is an elevator system having an elevator entryway, the elevator entryway including: a first door, which is an elevator door, a first controller operationally connected to the first door for opening and closing the first door to provide access to an elevator, wherein when the first door is closing: the first controller monitors for first instructions over a frequency applicable to light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and/or a radio detection and ranging (RADAR), and upon receiving the first instructions, the first controller executes the first instructions.

There is provided an auto detection system including a thermal detection device and a host. The host controls an indication device to indicate a prompt message or detection results according to a slope variation of voltage values or 2D distribution of temperature values detected by the thermal detection device, wherein the voltage values include the detected voltage of a single pixel or the sum of detected voltages of multiple pixels of a thermal sensor.

Disclosed is an elevator system having an elevator entryway, the elevator entryway including: a first door, which is an elevator door, a first controller operationally connected to the first door for opening and closing the first door to provide access to an elevator, wherein when the first door is closing: the first controller monitors for first instructions over a frequency applicable to light detection and ranging (LIDAR) and/or a radio detection and ranging (RADAR), and upon receiving the first instructions, the first controller executes the first instructions.
