A method of generating an elevator call using a mobile device including: detecting a first advertisement emitted by a first beacon, the first beacon being located at a first location and the first beacon is configured to emit the first advertisement a first selected range away from the first beacon; determining that an individual will be boarding an elevator system based on at least the first location of the first beacon; and transmitting the elevator call to a dispatcher of the elevator system based on determining that the individual will be boarding the elevator system or authorizing a previously placed elevator call to the dispatcher based on determining that the individual will be boarding the elevator system.

The present embodiment relates to a floor selection operation panel for elevating equipment. The floor selection operation panel for elevating equipment according to one aspect comprises: a panel including an opening; an electric compartment room disposed at a rear side of the panel; and a floor selection button disposed inside the electric compartment, wherein the floor selection button includes: a button body including a first body and a second body selectively exposed to the outside through the opening; a rotation shaft for rotating the button body; a printed circuit board disposed at a rear side of the button body, the printed circuit board including a switch and a germicidal lamp irradiating light toward the button body; and an elastic member disposed between the rotation shaft and the first body and between the rotation shaft and the second body.

A spatial location positioning method for an elevator, a spatial location positioning system for an elevator, and an elevator. The spatial location positioning method for the elevator includes transmitting near-field wireless communication signals in preset areas of the elevator; receiving response signals of a target object to the near-field wireless communication signals, and analyzing signal AOA (angle of arrival) information from the response signals; and determining current location of the target object according to the signal AOA information.

A user input device (202), for providing an input to an elevator controller is disclosed. The user input device (202) includes a plurality of input regions (204A-204F) each of which correspond to a different input command; and a single touchless sensor (216) arranged to detect the presence of an object in any of the plurality of input regions (204A-204F).

An elevator control input device includes at least two sensors which are configured for detecting the presence of an object, in particular a part of a human body such as a hand or a finger, within a vicinity of the respective sensor. The elevator control input device is configured for triggering a first action individually associated with the respective sensor when the object is detected to be situated closer than a first distance (d.sub.1) but further away than a second distance (d.sub.2) from the respective sensor; and for triggering a second action individually associated with the respective sensor when the object is detected to be situated closer than the second distance (d.sub.2) from the respective sensor.

According to an aspect, a method includes receiving a passenger request to reserve an elevator car of an elevator system to travel to a targeted destination. At least two different travel options to the targeted destination are determined based on a plurality of elevator car travel plans comprising at least two elevator cars having different travel ranges. The at least two different travel options are output to an interactive display. At least one of the at least two elevator cars is reserved responsive to a user selection of one of the at least two different travel options.

According to an aspect, there is provided a method and an apparatus. In the solution, an elevator call indication associated with a user is obtained. First guidance information is caused to be provided for the user to proceed to a waiting area. Location data associated with the user is obtained, the location data providing information about the location of the user. An elevator car is allocated in response to the elevator call indication, wherein the allocation takes into account the location of the user.

The present invention provides an automatic elevator call system and a method for requesting an elevator service, belonging to the field of elevator intelligent control technologies. The automatic elevator call system of the present invention includes a wireless signal apparatus that is installed in an elevator system and broadcasts a corresponding wireless signal around, wherein the automatic elevator call system detects the wireless signal and a signal strength value thereof by using a personal mobile terminal carried by a passenger, and automatically sends an elevator service request command to the wireless signal apparatus when the signal strength value is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold. The wireless signal apparatus wireless signal apparatus. The present invention can further improve elevator call experience of passengers.

An elevator installation has elevator operating devices arranged on floors of a building and communicatively connected to an elevator controller. The elevator operating devices include main operating devices configured for inputting a destination floor desired by a passenger and for outputting travel information, and at least one secondary operating device arranged on one of the floors. The secondary operating device is next to the main operating device on the one floor and is communicatively connected to the elevator controller. The secondary operating device has a touch-sensitive screen system that confirms a destination floor, input by touch, by a tactilely perceptible feedback in order to support a passenger with a physical limitation when inputting a call. The elevator controller determines travel information for the destination floor input on the secondary operating device and communicates this information to the passenger by the main operating device arranged next to the secondary operating device.

The invention relates to a method for transporting construction material and/or equipment into and inside a building under construction, wherein the building under construction comprises plurality of vertically displaced floors, the method comprising providing a control system configured to automatically operate one or more transporting devices, including at least an elevator; providing a storage at the construction site of the building; and transporting into the storage at the construction site of the building under construction plurality of transport containers containing construction material and/or equipment; storing said transport containers in the storage; and delivering transport containers belonging to said plurality of transport containers from said storage to different destination floors, the delivering comprising obtaining an order to deliver a transport container, the order identifying the transport container to be delivered; and retrieving the transport container identified in the order from the storage; and moving said transport container at least horizontally to a container loading floor of the building under construction; and loading said transport container on the load receiving unit for being moved to its destination floor; and obtaining the destination floor information indicating the destination floor of said container; and moving the load receiving unit vertically in the elevator shaft to the destination floor of said transport container; and unloading said transport container from the load receiving unit to the destination floor of said transport container. The invention also relates to a method for constructing a building and an arrangement for transporting construction material, which implement the method for transporting construction material and/or equipment into and inside a building under construction.
