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.

Disclosed are techniques for elevator control. In an aspect, a sensor senses time series data, wherein the time series data includes at least one image, and range of the image covers a plurality of buttons. A system module configured to determine whether the image contains a target object; determine a tip coordinate of a tip of the target object when the image contains the target object, wherein the tip refers to a point of the target object with the closest distance to the operation panel; and determine button information corresponding to the tip coordinate among a plurality of button information, and transmit a control signal at least according to the button information, wherein the plurality of button information is associated with the plurality of buttons. A controller receives the control signal and perform control operation according to the control signal.

There are provided a communication system in which a piece of equipment in a facility and a device working in the facility cooperate easily with each other, an equipment server and a device server in the communication system, and a data structure which is to be communicated in the communication system. In a communication system (1), a message is used for control of a control target by being communicated in a common format between each of equipment servers (7) and each of object servers (9). The control target is a piece (3) of building equipment as a piece of equipment or an object (4) working in a building (2) as a facility.
