A method and system for providing destination dispatch in an elevator control system, includes identifying a user, retrieving a user profile associated with the user, receiving a destination request associated with the user, analyzing the user profile and the destination request, determining a plurality of assignments, identifying a preferred assignment of the plurality of assignments, and prompting the user to opt-out of the preferred assignment.

Disclosed is an elevator system having a plurality of elevators including a first elevator and a second elevator, the plurality of elevators servicing a respective plurality of sets of floors, wherein the first elevator services a first set of the plurality of sets of floors and the second elevator services a second set of the plurality of sets of floors, wherein the first set of floors includes a first floor and a common floor and the second set of floors includes a second floor and the common floor, and the system receives a request from the first device to travel from the first floor to the second floor, executes a first transportation directive to effect transportation by providing handoff between the plurality of elevators, which includes: instructing the first elevator to provide service to the first floor, and instructing the second elevator to provide service to the common floor.

A method for dynamic elevator door control is provided. The method is implemented by a system, which includes an elevator. The system procures passenger data, which can include a number of passengers presently travelling to a floor and a number of passengers awaiting to board at the floor. A determination is made by the system with respect a door operational time based on the passenger data. The system implements the door operational time to dynamically cause doors providing access to the elevator to remain open for a duration of the door operational time.

Provided are techniques for performing validation of a passenger boarding, where the embodiments include receiving a call request, and detecting beacon information responsive to the call request. The techniques also include validating a boarding status of a passenger that placed the call request based at least in part on the beacon information, and responsive to the validation, transmitting a notification of the boarding status.

An elevator controller according to the present disclosure includes: a communication unit that receives, from a mobile terminal, signals each including information about elevator halls; and a determination unit that makes a determination for guiding a user on a basis of the information about the elevator halls received by the communication unit. The communication unit receives, from the mobile terminal, a first signal including floor registration elevator hall information, and after that, receives, from the mobile terminal, a second signal including registered floor return elevator hall information. On a basis of the first signal and the second signal, the determination unit determines whether or not an elevator at a registered floor return elevator hall is an elevator that goes to a floor registration elevator hall and, when the elevator is the elevator that goes to the floor registration elevator hall, notifies the mobile terminal the determination result.

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.

An elevator system includes a drive controller configured to actuate a drive motor of an elevator drive assembly. A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes program instructions that cause a processor to retrieve a set of rules of the elevator system, generate at least one graphical user interface by applying the set of rules to at least one design template, calculate an acceptance score for the at least one graphical user interface based on a user profile of an administrator, and publish the at least one graphical user interface based at least partially on the acceptance score. The elevator system further includes a display device configured to display the graphical user interface after it is published and cause the drive controller to actuate the drive motor based on user input of a selection of at least one selectable option on the at least one graphical user interface.

According to an aspect, there is provided an elevator signalization apparatus. The elevator signalization apparatus comprises first receiving means for receiving floor information representing floor occupancy information associated with a building; output means for indicating floor occupancy to a user; second receiving means for receiving user associated information; and transmitting means for transmitting a control signal to an elevator controller based on the received user associated information.

A mobile terminal (7) has an acceleration sensor (8) and a direction sensor (9). The mobile terminal (7) includes a route specifying unit (11), a calculating unit (13), a determining unit (14), and a communicating unit (16). The calculating unit (13) calculates a feature quantity of a route specified by the route specifying unit (11) on the basis of the route specified by the route specifying unit (11). The communicating unit (16) transmits call information to the communicating device (6) when the determining unit (14) determines that the route specified by the route specifying unit (11) is a boarding route.

An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator system includes a destination entry device configured to allow a passenger to indicate an intended destination prior to entering an elevator car and at least one detector configured to detect a proximity between the passenger and at least one other individual that has not indicated an intended destination. A controller is configured to determine whether the detected proximity between the passenger and the at least one other individual satisfies at least one criterion indicating that the at least one other individual likely is associated with the passenger, will board an elevator car with the passenger, and will travel to the intended destination with the passenger. The controller is configured to assign an elevator car to carry the passenger and the at least one other individual to the intended destination when the detected proximity satisfies the at least one criterion.
