A method, system, and computer program product for occupant-based elevator actions are provided. The method identifies a set of subjects approaching a set of elevators to generate a set of identities for the set of subjects. A set of initial priority statuses are generated for the set of subjects. Based on the set of identities and the set of initial priority statuses, an elevator dispatch solution is determined. The method updates at least a portion of the initial priority statuses to generate a set of subsequent priority statuses in response to a subset of subjects entering at least one elevator. The method determines an isolation response for a first subject of the subset of subjects and modifies the elevator dispatch solution based on the isolation response to generate an isolation dispatch solution. The at least one elevator executes the isolation dispatch solution.

Implemented is a configuration for deciding a transport machine into which a robot get, by taking efficiency and cooperativeness into consideration. A data processing section that selects a transport machine to be taken by a robot is included. The data processing section acquires robot information that is about the robot and transport-machine information that is about the transport machine, calculates scores corresponding to a plurality of available transport machines on the basis of the acquired information, and selects a transport machine to be used on the basis of the calculated scores. In a case where two or more transport machines satisfy a physical condition for permitting the robot to take the transport machines, the data processing section calculates an efficiency calculation value and a cooperativeness calculation value based on the robot information and the transport-machine information, and calculates scores on the basis of a function using the calculated efficiency calculation value and the calculated cooperativeness calculation value.

A method for dispatching an elevator car that includes determining a first duration for each of a plurality of first elevator cars to travel from a current location to a first location, and dispatching at least one of the first elevator cars to the first location when the first duration of the at least one first elevator car is less than a threshold duration. The method includes determining a second duration for an occupant to travel from the first location to a second location, and each of a plurality of second elevator cars to travel from the current location to the second location, when the first duration for the first elevator cars exceeds the threshold duration. The method includes dispatching at least one of the second elevator cars to the second location when the second duration of the at least one second elevator car is less than the threshold duration.

An elevator operation managing device capable of reducing a switching of passengers at a time of getting on and getting out of a car. The elevator operation managing device includes an in-car position acquisition unit and a car allocation acquisition unit. The in-car position acquisition unit obtains an in-car position of a user based on layout information and a congestion degree obtained in a congestion degree acquisition unit. The car allocation acquisition unit performs a car allocation to allocate the user to the car based on a received boarding floor and destination floor and the in-car position obtained in the in-car position acquisition unit.

A method of adjusting a load setting of an elevator car that includes receiving one or more load measurements associated with the elevator car and determining a maximum load of the elevator car from the one or more load measurements. The method further includes generating a modified load setting for the elevator car based on the maximum load and replacing the load setting of the elevator car with the modified load setting.

A method for reassigning a first elevator car of a plurality of elevator cars that includes dispatching the first elevator car from a current location to a first destination location to pick up an occupant at the first destination location. The method includes determining the first elevator car stopped at an intermediate location positioned between the current location and the first destination location. The method further includes determining a number of occupants within the first elevator car is greater than at least a second elevator car of a plurality of elevator cars after the first elevator car stopped at the intermediate location, and directing the first elevator car to a second destination location different from the first destination location.

One embodiment provides a method for optimizing schedules of a plurality of elevators in a building having a plurality of floors, including: receiving, from a user, an indication requesting that an elevator from the plurality of elevators stop at a particular floor, wherein each of the plurality of elevators has a schedule comprising floors where the elevator will stop; identifying the number of users in the elevator waiting area of each of the particular floors where an indication requesting a stop has been received; and updating, in view of the identified number of users at each of the particular floors, the schedule for the plurality of elevators to optimize the stops for the plurality of elevators, wherein the updating comprises dynamically routing the plurality of elevators upon (i) receipt of indications and (ii) identification of the number of users at each of the particular floors.

A method of controlling an elevator system incudes collecting one or more frustration indicators of a passenger during usage of the elevator system by the passenger; collecting one or more frustration factors; correlating the one or more frustration factors to the one or more frustration indicators to generate one or more preferences for the passenger; generating a profile for the passenger in response to the correlating, the profile including the one or more preferences; and controlling operation of the elevator system in response to the one or more preferences to reduce frustration of the passenger during interaction with the elevator system.

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.

A method of controlling operation of an elevator system (2), the elevator system (2) including a hoistway (4) extending between a plurality of landings (8) situated on different floors (9), and at least one elevator car (6) configured for moving along the hoistway (4) between the plurality of landings (8). The method includes receiving a control input indicating a passenger transport request, wherein the control input comprises at least one passenger transport request parameter; monitoring passengers (30) within or outside the elevator car (6) and determining at least one passenger parameter associated with the passengers (30); comparing the at least one passenger transport request parameter with the at least one passenger parameter; and controlling further operation of the elevator system (2) based on the result of said comparison.
