Provided are embodiments for a system and a method for performing passenger grouping in an elevator system. Embodiments includes receiving a call request placed by a user, and receiving user condition data for a user obtained using one or more sensors operably coupled to the controller. Embodiments also include calculating a final exposure rating based at least in part on the user condition data, and assigning the user to an elevator based at least in part on the final exposure rating.

Disclosed is an elevator system including a controller, wherein the controller is configured for: engaging in a first communication with a facial recognition system that identifies a pet and a first person as owner of the pet, and rendering a plurality of determinations from the first communication, including: a first determination that the pet is proximate a first elevator lobby in a building, a second determination to provide instructions to a first elevator car responsive to the first communication, and engaging in a second communication with the first elevator car for effecting the second determination.

A passenger customization system including: a processor; and a memory including computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations. The operations including: detecting that an individual is within a selected range of an elevator system; obtaining a passenger attribute of the individual; and adjusting a component of the elevator system in response to the passenger attribute.

An illustrative example method of controlling an elevator system includes detecting a number of passengers waiting for elevator service at a landing, detecting an available passenger capacity of a plurality of elevator cars, respectively, and assigning at least one of the elevator cars to travel to the landing to provide elevator service to the passengers based on the detected number of passengers and the available passenger capacity of the at least one of the elevator cars.

A method for intelligent control of an elevator to give priority to a floor containing the total highest priority of passengers acquires first images taken by first cameras, identifies targets in the first images, and determines priority levels of the targets. In response to receiving a plurality of first service signals from a number of floors in a building, the method controls a driving unit to drive an elevator to move to service the passengers as targets with a highest total priority level according to individual priority levels of the targets within a group of passengers waiting on each floor of the building.

Methods and systems for elevator control are provided. The methods and systems include receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a request for at least one service associated with an elevator system from a user device, controlling an elevator car to travel to a specific floor in accordance with the request, controlling an elevator car door to be closed upon arriving at the specific floor, transmitting an indicator to the user device that the elevator car has arrived at the specific floor, and controlling the elevator car door to open upon receiving, by the computing device, an access request from the user device.

An elevator group control device may handle load calls for an elevator system having an elevator car, whereby a load call includes a departure floor, a destination floor, load specification data and a time period which the load is to be transported from the departure floor to the destination floor. The allocating may include reserving a particular portion of the floor area of the elevator car for the load during a portion of the time period, based on the load specification data and the particular portion being available to accommodate the load during the portion of the time period.

An elevator calling operation based on a wrist-wearable smart device. An elevator calling operation system of the present invention comprises: an elevator control apparatus, and a wrist-wearable smart device wirelessly connected to the elevator control apparatus, wherein the wrist-wearable smart device comprises an identity identification module which stores identity identification information about a passenger, and a motion sensor which is used for acquiring elevator calling motion information about the passenger performing an elevator calling operation, and the wrist-wearable smart device transmits the elevator calling motion information, in association with the identity identification information, to the elevator control apparatus; and the elevator control apparatus comprises: a passenger identity recognition module and an elevator calling operation recognition module, the elevator calling operation recognition module used for recognizing the elevator calling operation of the passenger according to the elevator calling motion information from the motion sensor.

An elevator operator terminal includes a display device, a storage device and a processing device for use with an elevator system in a building. The processing device is connected to the storage device and activates the display device to generate a user interface having a plurality of display fields. The user interface has a call input area and a floor indicator area. The call input area displays a predetermined first number of display fields that are each associated with a predetermined floor in the building and are enabled for call input. The floor indicator area displays a predetermined second number of display fields that are each associated with a predetermined floor in the building and are disabled for call input.

A method of prioritizing passenger travel in an elevator to one or more destination floors in a building, wherein the number of floors comprise at least high security floors and low security floors, includes identifying a security level of each passenger, verifying the security clearance level assigned to each passenger, generating a prioritized sequence to specify an order in which the cabin will travel to the destination floors based on the security clearance level, and executing a travel plan for the elevator cab causing the elevator cab to move to the relevant destination floors in the order specified in the prioritized sequence.
