An elevator-calling device and elevator system. The elevator-calling device includes a processor to receive an input instruction and send a signal to a main controller of an elevator system; a display device connected to the processor; a rotatable button, wherein the rotatable button is connected to the processor, and the rotatable button is pressable and rotatable in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction, and wherein the rotatable button has an initial zero scale; and an assistant sound generating unit connected to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to have an assistant elevator-calling mode, in which a preset target floor is increased when the rotatable button rotates in the first direction, the preset target floor is decreased when the rotatable button rotates in the second direction, and the preset target floor is confirmed when the rotatable button is pressed at a non-zero scale.

An illustrative example method of controlling an elevator system includes receiving a first request for elevator service from a requestor, receiving a second request for elevator service from the requestor while the first request is still pending, and controlling the elevator system to provide elevator service for only one of the first request or the second request.

Configuring stoppable floor information set for an elevator cabin of an elevator system. The elevator system of the present invention comprises an elevator cabin, an elevator control device and a wireless signal module which is configured to wirelessly receive a request of registering a destination floor from a passenger's personal mobile terminal and send a corresponding destination floor of the elevator cabin to the elevator control device based on the request of registering the destination floor; wherein the wireless signal module is further configured to obtain landing floor information corresponding to the elevator cabin from the elevator system, and the elevator system configures an stoppable floor information set corresponding to the elevator cabin based on the obtained landing floor information through a handheld terminal and/or the wireless signal module. The stoppable floor information set configured in the present invention is accurate.

According to an example embodiment, an elevator control system is provided, the elevator control system comprising an elevator controller for controlling movement of one or more elevators of an elevator transport system between one or more floors of a building under construction; and a scheduling system for maintaining a transport reservation schedule pertaining to said one or more elevators, wherein the transport reservation schedule comprises one or more transport reservations that comprise at least a first transport reservation that defines at least a first reserved transport time period, a first origin floor, and a first activation code, wherein the elevator controller is arranged to: control an elevator allocated to serve the first transport reservation to arrive at the first origin floor by the beginning of the first transport time period, and control, during the first reserved transport time period, said elevator allocated to serve the first transport reservation to move to a destination floor in response to receiving an activation code that matches the first activation code.

A movement detection system for a passenger in the present invention includes: a first Bluetooth module (150) mounted in an elevator landing area; and a movement prediction unit (270) configured to predict, based on Bluetooth movement data, that a movement of a passenger in the elevator landing area is a normal movement or an abnormal movement. The movement detection system and a movement detection method in the present invention can automatically detect an abnormal movement of a passenger, and are especially applicable to an elevator system that completes an elevator call operation without an input operation.

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.

A hall destination floor input device for elevators includes an information input receiver provided on a hall of an elevator on a floor set as an evacuation floor in case of an emergency in a building including the elevator. The information input receiver receives information from outside. The device also includes a signal transmitter that transmits a signal to a control system of the elevator, and a controller configured to cause the signal transmitter to transmit a signal indicating a destination floor of the elevator when the information receiver receives input of information on the destination floor if an operation mode is not an emergency mode based on emergency information of the building, and cause the signal transmitter to transmit a signal to open a door of the elevator on the hall when the information input receiver starts receiving input of information if the operation mode is the emergency mode.

A passenger transport system includes a plurality of passenger transporters controlled by a transport system control, and further comprises at least one parameter memory configured to store at least one parameter or parameter set for the function of at least one transport system component, which transport system comprises a first wireless interface. The first interface may input data regarding at least one stored parameter or parameter set for the function of the related transport system component(s). The passenger transport system comprises mobile devices carried by users, which mobile devices may communicate wirelessly with the first interface, which communication is based on a short range transmission. The mobile devices may be prompted by the first interface to transmit data regarding the parameter or parameter set of the correlated transport system component. A passenger system interaction with a user to individual user requirements may be customized.

An elevator system having a controller configured for: receiving a communication from the mobile device for a passenger, the communication including first data, wherein the first data is position data obtained by the mobile device executing a multilateration (MLAT) process with one or more proximately located telecommunication devices, rendering a first determination, from the first data, that the mobile device is proximate a first distance from the lobby, rendering a second determination, from the first determination, arrive at the lobby proximate a first time, and transmitting a communication to an elevator instructing the elevator to arrive at the lobby proximate the first time to provide elevator service.

The invention relates to a remote monitoring system for an elevator system. The remote monitoring system comprises at least one remotely operable intermediate device and a monitoring unit for remotely controlling operation of the at least one intermediate device at least partly. The monitoring unit is configured to: control at least one intermediate device to generate a remote com-mand for controlling at least one operation of the elevator system, and monitor a response of the elevator system to the remote command. The invention relates also to a method for remotely monitoring an elevator system.
