Disclosed is an elevator system having an elevator, the elevator having an elevator landing and an elevator controller, the controller capable of communicating over a network with a device, and the device may be located within an area positionally associated with the landing, the controller: receives from the device, a request for elevator service at the landing, effects monitoring the device relative to the area, effects a first response upon determining that the device is inside the area, otherwise effects a second response.

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.

A communication system and method to be used in a system having a plurality of sensors and/or controllers. The communication system comprises a main gateway (GW) connected to a first controller of the system, the main GW wirelessly connectable to a management center of the system via the Internet or a cloud system, and at least one satellite GW connected to at least one second controller of the system, the at least one satellite GW connected to the main GW via a wireless local area network (WLAN).

The invention relates to a method of providing a seamless wireless connection in an elevator system of a building. The method comprises receiving an elevator car request from a passenger who is on a source floor, dispatching an elevator car to the source floor in response to the elevator car request, selecting at least one wireless local area network (WLAN) established in the building, and forwarding the selected at least one WLAN via a network node placed in at least one of an elevator hall of the source floor, the dispatched elevator car, or an elevator hall of a destination floor.

Methods and systems for controlling elevators are provided. The methods include at least one of receiving and determining, at an elevator system computing device, a call probability associated with at least one of a movement, a position, a speed, and a direction of a user of the elevator system, scheduling, with a dispatching system, an elevator car operation based on at least the call probability, and controlling, with an elevator controller, the operation of an elevator car based on the scheduled elevator car operation.

An elevator control device recognizes a destination floor of a user from a voice of the user input to a voice input device, registers a voice car call corresponding to the recognized destination floor, generates stop floor information including a stop floor at which a car stops before the car arrives at the destination floor after the registration of the voice car call, and performs, as a voice announcement that follows the generated stop floor information, any one of a first announcement for notifying of the stop floor in order of floors at which the car stops and a second announcement for notifying of how many floors the car stops at before arriving at the destination floor.

A device for controlling an operation of an elevator by using a monitor comprises: a monitor, which is installed on a wall surface of a cage of an elevator, a surface of a door of the elevator, or a wall surface of a building next to the door of the elevator, displays various buttons including a start button, an emergency button, and floor buttons controlling an operation of the elevator, and includes an embedded speaker; two pin cameras positioned at upper left and right sides of the monitor, respectively; and a controller, which controls operations of the various buttons of the monitor, an operation of the pin camera, and the operation of the elevator.

An elevator control device recognizes a destination floor of a user from a voice of the user input to a voice input device, registers a voice car call corresponding to the recognized destination floor, generates stop floor information including a stop floor at which a car stops before the car arrives at the destination floor after the registration of the voice car call, and performs, as a voice announcement that follows the generated stop floor information, any one of a first announcement for notifying of the stop floor in order of floors at which the car stops and a second announcement for notifying of how many floors the car stops at before arriving at the destination floor.

A system and a method for detecting passenger movement, an elevator-calling control method, a readable storage medium and an elevator system are provided by the present disclosure. The system for detecting passenger movement includes: a Bluetooth matrix installed in an elevator landing area, the Bluetooth matrix including at least three Bluetooth modules, and each of the Bluetooth modules being configured to broadcast a Bluetooth signal to the elevator landing area respectively; wherein the system for detecting passenger movement acquires location information of a passenger carrying a personal mobile terminal by using Bluetooth signals broadcast by at least three Bluetooth modules; the system for detecting passenger movement further includes: a movement prediction unit configured to fit a movement trajectory of the passenger in the elevator landing area based on multiple sets of the location information, and predict the movement trajectory to be a calling trajectory or a non-calling trajectory.

An elevator system is provided. Aspects includes at least one elevator car, a plurality of sensors, a controller coupled to a memory, the controller configured to receive a call request for an elevator car from a user device. An identifier is transmitted to the user device and to the plurality of sensors. A location of the user device is determined based at least in part on at least one sensor in the plurality of sensors detecting the identifier on the user device. And the at least one elevator car is operated based on the location of the user device.
