An elevator control button assembly (7), in particular an elevator hall call button (7a), to be employed in an elevator system (2) comprises a stationary reference element (22); an activation element (26), which is movable with respect to the reference element (22); and at least two rods (24a-24d). The at least two rods (24a-24d) are arranged non-parallel to each other between the reference element (22) and the activation element (26). Each of the rods (24a-24d) contacts the reference element (22) and the activation element (26), respectively. The at least two rods (24a-24d) are configured for moving when the activation element (26) is moved with respect to the reference element (22).

A method includes receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a request for at least one service associated with an elevator system from a mobile device over a cellular network. The request is validated based on a determined location of the mobile device. In response to the validating indicating that the request is approved, at least one resource associated with the at least one service is scheduled. The scheduling of the at least one resource includes placement of an elevator car call.

An elevator system includes an elevator car, a call panel, a controller, and a floor cancellation feature. The elevator car is adapted to travel in a hoistway defined by a building and between floors of the building. The call panel is located for passenger interaction, includes a plurality of floor selections, and communicates with the controller. The floor cancellation feature is associated with at least one of the call panel and the controller. The controller is configured to operate between a floor cancellation permit state and a floor cancellation restricted state, thereby respectively enabling and disabling the floor cancellation feature, and track at least one event associated with the floor cancellation restricted state.

The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method of initiating elevator service by entering an elevator call with a call input device operating a program including a plurality of graphical objects displayed on a graphic user interface, in communication with an elevator system. The method includes the steps: selecting a first floor graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects; and selecting a second floor graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects.

The invention relates to an elevator operating panel comprising at least one touchscreen panel with first touch screen areas being linked to first capacitive touch screen sensor, which touchscreen panel has a second touch screen area which is linked to the first touch screen sensor as well as to an additional second touch screen sensor, which second sensor is configured to be connected to a backup power supply.

A method of managing mobile elevator call requests from a mobile device is provided. The method includes: receiving an elevator call parameter from a management interface; receiving at least one mobile elevator call request from a mobile device; comparing the mobile elevator call request to the elevator call parameter; and restricting the mobile device from sending additional mobile elevator call requests when the mobile elevator call request conflicts with the elevator call parameter.

In one aspect, a method for initiating elevator service by entering an elevator call on a call input device having a plurality of graphical objects displayed on a graphical user interface is provided. The method includes the steps of selecting a first landing graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects, and selecting a second landing graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects. The method also includes selecting a third landing graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects. The method also includes creating an anticipated trip graphical object, the anticipated trip graphical object indicating a trip from the third landing to the first landing. The method also includes selecting the anticipated trip graphical object to initiate a hall call and floor call from the third landing to the first landing.

A passenger conveyance system includes a processing module in communication with one or more sensors to receive the depth map data, and one or more security sensors to receive the security data, the processing module uses the depth map data and the security data to calculate passenger data that is operable to recognize a particular passenger. An elevator controller to receive the passenger data from the processing module, wherein the elevator controller controls an elevator dispatch control function in response to the particular passenger.
