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.

Mixed reality glasses, hygienically operate a public device, whose physical control panel, is touched by other users. The glasses display the device's control panel, in midair. A user touches, the control panel's input icons, to activate the icons. The activated icons, activate operations, of the device. The devices can be operated one, after another, such as, an elevator, and then a vending machine. The glasses download the devices, operating control panel wirelessly, when close to the device. The devices locations, are shown, on a midair map. By touching air molecules, when touching the input icons, a smart toilet, is operated sanitarily. The icons, remove the need to touch, a self serve store's checkout physical input buttons, that may have viruses on them. The mid-air icons, can aide a wheelchair user, when operating a public self driving car, by allowing the car's input icons, to be located near them.

An elevator car comprising a passenger cab and a robot cab, the robot cab is configured to accommodate at least one autonomous robot; wherein the robot cab includes: a robot cab controller configured to receive elevator call requests from the at least one autonomous robot and a coupling mechanism configured to couple the robot cab to the passenger cab.

A holographic external call device for an elevator, which includes a device shell. One side of the device shell is provided with a sensor mounting hole, and a gesture sensor is installed in the sensor mounting hole. An optical module is installed, one side of the optical module is provided with two screen installation grooves, the two screen installation grooves are both installed with a screen, and the bottom side of the optical module is provided with a main board. The screen produces an image after power on, which affects the light reconstruction in the optical module to generate an image in the air, and then the finger clicks on the image in the air. The gesture sensor will sense the gesture and send the command for the main board, addressing cross-contact infection problem caused by using the elevator outbound button to call the elevator without actual physical contact.

A holographic elevator control box, which comprises a housing and a first cover plate. The surface of the housing is fixedly connected with a first cover plate through bolts. The inside of the housing is provided with a holographic optical module. The holographic optical module is fixedly connected with the housing. The surface of the holographic optical module group is fixedly connected with a screen. The surface of the first cover plate is fixedly connected with a main board. The screen is connected with the main board through wires, and the top of the housing is installed with an induction module. The holographic elevator control box can address cross infection so that when using the elevator with the device, the interaction between the person and the elevator can be realized by clicking, sliding and other gestures on the image generated by the equipment in the air.

The present disclosure discloses systems, methods and an apparatus for non-contact and eye-movement input of an elevator floor, which comprises: selecting a target camera according to a distance sensor installed on a button panel inside the elevator; triggering a corresponding target camera by using the distance sensor for face detection; standardizing a detected human face and locating a binocular position; inputting data of a standardized human face image and a binocular image into a preset posture discriminator to obtain a predicted head posture and an eyeball posture; according to the head posture and the eyeball posture, calculating a line-of-sight direction and a coordinate of an attention point, detecting whether a dwell time of the line-of-sight is greater than a preset time threshold, and, if so, triggering a button at the coordinate of the attention point.

An aspect includes a system with a communication interface configured to receive a mobile device location indicator at a first location and a second location. The system also includes a memory system and a processing system configured to perform operations. The operations include detecting a mobile device at the first location and observing a current state of one or more conditions present during detection of the mobile device. A travel prediction of the mobile device between the first location and the second location is determined based on a travel history of the mobile device and the current state of the one or more conditions. A command is output to a dispatching system based on detection of the mobile device at the first location and the travel prediction of the mobile device to align with a predicted arrival of the mobile device at the second location.

An elevator scheduling method and an apparatus, a server, and a computer-readable storage medium are provided. The elevator scheduling method is applied to a server, and comprises: determining an elevator schedule request, wherein the elevator schedule request comprises starting floor information and target floor information; determining a target elevator to be scheduled to a target robot based on the elevator schedule request and operation information of schedulable elevators; generating a control instruction based on the starting floor information, the target floor information, and identification information of the target elevator; and sending the control instruction to an elevator control device, wherein the elevator control device controls movement of the target elevator.

A switch device for an elevator is arranged to manipulate a physical button of the elevator. The physical button is triggered to generate an operating signal to control the operation of the elevator. The switch device for the elevator includes a motion sensor, an actuator and a controller. The motion sensor detects the movement of a user to generate a sense signal. The actuator is disposed at the position corresponding to the physical button. The actuator presses the physical button based on a control signal. The controller is electrically connected to the motion sensor and the actuator. The controller receives the sense signal and generates the control signal based on the sense signal. The controller transmits the control signal to the actuator. A switch device of an elevator is able to manipulate the elevator under the condition that the user does not touch the physical button.

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.
