An elevator control input device includes at least two sensors which are configured for detecting the presence of an object, in particular a part of a human body such as a hand or a finger, within a vicinity of the respective sensor. The elevator control input device is configured for triggering a first action individually associated with the respective sensor when the object is detected to be situated closer than a first distance (d.sub.1) but further away than a second distance (d.sub.2) from the respective sensor; and for triggering a second action individually associated with the respective sensor when the object is detected to be situated closer than the second distance (d.sub.2) from the respective sensor.

A touchless elevator call button selection device utilizing a plurality of infrared beams is disclosed along with its method of use. By using beams of light to detect the position of a user's hand, the touchless elevator call button selection device allows the user to interface with the elevator control system without physically coming into contact with the elevator control system.

An elevator system has an elevator controller system to control movement of an elevator car between a predetermined number of floors of a building, and an elevator operating panel communicatively coupled via a multicore cable to the elevator controller system. The elevator operating panel includes at least one push-button having an open state and a closed state, wherein the push-button is configured to close in the closed state a wire loop of the multicore cable, and wherein the push-button is configured to be in the closed state when a user presses the push-button to enter an elevator call. In addition, the elevator system includes an ancillary operating panel arranged next to the elevator operating panel and having a proximity sensor for touchless entry of an elevator call.

A computer-implemented method of automatically generating and populating one or more car floor buttons on a configuration tool display wherein the configuration tool is in communication with an elevator cabin of an elevator system.

Embodiments of systems and methods for digital control of elevator and other access gateways are described herein. More specifically, embodiments comprise systems and methods for retrofitting or outfitting elevator systems with digital control systems that can be universally applied to virtually every manufacturer's elevator systems.

The method includes: after obtaining an image of a to-be-operated device by using a target application, the electronic device may send the image of the to-be-operated device to a server corresponding to the target application. Then, the server may obtain an operation model of the to-be-operated device based on the image of the to-be-operated device, and the server sends the operation model of the to-be-operated device to the electronic device. Next, the electronic device may display a user operation interface corresponding to the operation model, and the user may perform an operation on the user operation interface. The electronic device sends an operation event corresponding to the second operation of the user to the server, and the server processes the operation event corresponding to the second operation.

An elevator operating device for inputting a travel request in an elevator system has a first call input device that is communicatively connected to a central control device of the elevator operating device. The first call input device comprises buttons that are each assigned to a floor of a building and are disposed so as to be accessible to a first passenger for inputting a destination floor. A second call input device of the elevator operating device is communicatively connected to the central control device and disposed so as to be accessible to a second passenger for inputting a destination floor. The first call input device and the second call input device are disposed at a distance from each other on the passenger side.

A touchless interface device utilizing a plurality of infrared beams is disclosed along with its method of use. By using beams of light to detect the position of a user's hand, the touchless elevator call button selection device allows the user to interface with the elevator control system without physically coming into contact with the elevator control system.

An elevator car assembly (100). The elevator car assembly (100) includes: an elevator car operating panel (106) including a user interface (124) on a front surface (108) and a first connector portion (112) on a rear surface (110); and an elevator cab (102) including a plurality of elevator cab walls (104) including at least one elevator cab wall (104) for mounting the elevator car operating panel (106) thereon, the at least one elevator cab wall (104) including a second connector portion (114). The first connector portion (112) is configured to form a releasable electrical connection with the second connector portion (114).
