A method of operating an elevator call control system comprising: receiving a first elevator call from a first individual carrying a first mobile device, the first elevator call including a destination request to travel from a first boarding floor to a first destination floor; determining that the first individual carrying the first mobile device is traveling with a second individual, wherein the second individual is traveling to a second destination floor; assigning an elevator car to the first elevator call; and scheduling the elevator car to transport the first individual carrying the first mobile device and the second individual together to at least one of a first destination floor and the second destination floor.

A method of calling an elevator is provided. The method comprising: detecting, using a door lock, at least one status parameter of a door and the door lock operably associated with the door; transmitting, using the door lock, the at least one status parameter to a remote device; determining, using the remote device, whether to call an elevator in response to the at least one status parameter; transmitting, using the remote device, an elevator call request to a controller when it is determined to call an elevator; and moving, using the controller, an elevator to a floor where the door lock is located.

A method of health profile based elevator calls is provided. The method is implemented by a system comprising an elevator. The system is in communication with a mobile device of a user. The system determines a distance between a lobby respective to the at least one elevator and the mobile device and acquires a health profile of the user from the mobile device. The system, then, determines a travel time based on the distance and the health profile. Next, the system executes an elevator call for the elevator with respect to the travel time.

A phone display, shows an internet map. The map allows a user to search for, and operate, multiuser public devices, such as, a hydrogen car fuelling station. The user finds the device, by viewing the device's location, and the phone's location on the map. For example, the phone searches for, and finds elevators, which are shown on the map. The user finds an elevator, by using the map. The user touches the elevator's displayed menu, to receive the elevator's menu's control panel. The received control panel, is displayed on the phone. The user requests the elevator move to the 4 floor, by touch activating a floor 4 icon, on the phone elevator panel. The phone, and elevator computer communicate, over the internet wirelessly, or wirelessly. The user avoids bacteria, that may be on a store's self serve check out machine's physical touch screen, by operating it with the phone.

An elevator control method is implemented by a computer and comprises: receiving a board request from a board-standby robot; determining a priority of the board-standby robot based on information relating to the board-standby robot and operation information of the elevator; and controlling operation of an elevator car based on the priority of board-standby robots and the priority of on-board robots within the elevator car.

A mobile terminal of the present invention is configured to test a wireless beacon that is mounted in an elevator system and used for establishing a wireless connection with the mobile terminal and receiving service request commands. The wireless beacon is at least coupled to an elevator controller of the elevator system. The mobile terminal is configured to include: a connection testing module configured to test whether the wireless beacon can successfully establish the wireless connection with the mobile terminal and/or configured to test whether the wireless beacon can successfully establish a communication connection with the elevator controller; and a service request testing module configured to send a service request test command to the wireless beacon to enable the wireless beacon to automatically complete a service request test on the wireless beacon.

An automatic elevator call system includes: a wireless signal apparatus installed in an elevator landing zone of an elevator system and broadcasting a corresponding wireless signal around; a counting unit configured to count, after an elevator call request corresponding to an identity of the personal mobile terminal is sent or received, the number of times the elevator call request corresponding to the identity is made within a predetermined time period; and an abnormal elevator call request judgment unit configured to judge, based on a comparison result between the number of times the elevator call request is made and a predetermined threshold, whether the elevator call request corresponding to the identity is a normal elevator call request operation. The present invention can effectively determine an intentional or unintentional abnormal elevator call request operation of a passenger.

The number of bacteria present on an elevator button is almost 40 times higher than on a public toilet seat. An elevator that requires no physical contact is the answer. Just by the use of the mobile-phone, the transmission of diseases and viruses will be enormously reduced. The present invention discloses contactless method and system for provisioning elevator service from a source floor to a destination floor. The method comprising sensing a direction of a swiping action of a user. Thereafter determining the first direction that corresponds to an elevator upward direction or a second direction that corresponds to an elevator downward direction. Further, based on the determined said first direction or the second direction, the elevator is provisioned. After arrival of the elevator, a scan code is generated which is a destination code of said destination floor to which the user wishes to travels.

A wireless signal device, a system and a method for an elevator service request are provided, which belong to the field of elevator technologies. The wireless signal device according to the present invention is mounted in a landing zone and receives an elevator service request command from a personal mobile terminal. The wireless signal device comprises a service control unit configured to, in an elevator dispatching service process arranged in response to a first elevator service request command received previously, disable the elevator controller from responding to a second elevator service request command received later for controlling the elevator dispatching service in the elevator dispatching service process if the second elevator service request command has the same elevator call direction as the first elevator service request command.

A method of delivering packages using a robot delivery system including: obtaining information about a package from an online ordering platform application programing interface, the information about the package including at least a destination of the package; transmitting the information about the package to a first robot; instructing the first robot to obtain the package or retain the package; and instructing the first robot to deliver the package to the destination using a conveyance system.
