20240025698 · 2024-01-25 ·

An elevator system has an elevator operating device and an activation device. The operating device is connected to the elevator controller and is arranged on a floor. The operating device has a first radio device, an audio device and a touchscreen for inputting a destination floor desired by a passenger and for outputting travel information. The activation device has an actuation device accessible to the passenger, has a second radio device for radio communication with the first radio device, and is arranged within radio range of the operating device. When the actuation device is actuated by the passenger, the second radio device transmits an activation radio signal. The operating device then switches from a normal operating mode to a special operating mode, in which an operating instruction for a call input by the passenger is generated, and when the call input is complete, switches back to the normal operating mode.
