An elevator call registering system includes: a responder configure to store therein user identification information; an interrogator configured to broadcast interrogator identification information, an authentication control apparatus configured to compare the user identification information read out from the interrogator with stored user identification information, and an elevator control apparatus. The interrogator is configured to transmit group identification information, the responder is configured to store therein the group identification information received and to transmit the user identification information and the stored group identification information, and the interrogator configured to determine whether or not to transmit the destination floor information associated with the user identification information to the authentication control apparatus based on a comparison result of the group identification information received from the responder and the group identification information of the interrogator when the user identification information is read out from the uplink signal.

The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method of initiating elevator service by entering an elevator call with a call input device operating a program including a plurality of graphical objects displayed on a graphic user interface, in communication with an elevator system. The method includes the steps: selecting a current floor graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects; and selecting a destination floor graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects.

Systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products that can facilitate elevator analytics and/or elevator optimization components are provided. According to an embodiment, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components can comprise a prediction component that can predict a current destination of an elevator passenger based on historical elevator usage data of the elevator passenger. The computer executable components can further comprise an assignment component that can assign the elevator passenger to an elevator based on the current destination.

A method of calling an elevator car for an elevator system including: transmitting, using a first beacon, a first poll wireless signal, the first poll wireless signal having a first poll transmission speed; receiving, using the first beacon, a first response wireless signal from a passenger mobile device in response to the first poll wireless signal, the first response wireless signal having a first response transmission speed; determining a first time of flight between transmission of the first poll wireless signal from the first beacon and receipt of the first response wireless signal at the first beacon; calculating a first distance between the first beacon and the passenger mobile device based on the first time of flight, the first poll transmission speed, and the first response transmission speed; and determining a location of the passenger mobile device based on at least the first distance.

An elevator control system for an elevator system, including a display device, at least one processor in communication with the display device and the elevator system, the at least one processor programmed or configured to render, on the display device, a graphical destination interface comprising a plurality of visual representations of destinations within the building, receive a user selection of a selected destination from the plurality of destinations, determine a plurality of selectable options for elevator call requests based on the selected destination, render the plurality of selectable options for elevator call requests on the graphical destination interface or a second graphical call request interface, receive a user selection of a selected option from the plurality of selectable options for elevator call requests, and control movement of an elevator car in the elevator system based on the selected destination and the selected option.

An elevator security system for a building includes data relating to a floor that a user may access in the building, a device in which the data is stored, a credential containing the data in a machine readable format and created by the user, and a first machine reader reading the credential and sending data therein to the device for querying whether the user may access the floor, the device allowing access to an elevator car for transport to the floor if the credential is in sync with the data stored in the device.

The present disclosure relates generally to a system and method of initiating elevator service by entering an elevator call with a call input device operating a program including a plurality of graphical objects displayed on a graphic user interface, in communication with an elevator system. The method includes the steps: selecting a first floor graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects; and selecting a second floor graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects.

An elevator calling operation based on a wrist-wearable smart device. An elevator calling operation system of the present invention comprises: an elevator control apparatus, and a wrist-wearable smart device wirelessly connected to the elevator control apparatus, wherein the wrist-wearable smart device comprises an identity identification module which stores identity identification information about a passenger, and a motion sensor which is used for acquiring elevator calling motion information about the passenger performing an elevator calling operation, and the wrist-wearable smart device transmits the elevator calling motion information, in association with the identity identification information, to the elevator control apparatus; and the elevator control apparatus comprises: a passenger identity recognition module and an elevator calling operation recognition module, the elevator calling operation recognition module used for recognizing the elevator calling operation of the passenger according to the elevator calling motion information from the motion sensor.

A method of controlling an elevator system (2) comprising at least one elevator car (6), which is configured for travelling between a plurality of landings (8), comprises the steps of: displaying a hold button (26) on a mobile device (20) if the at least one elevator car (6) has stopped at a landing (8) and holding the elevator car (6) at the current landing (8) if the hold button (26) is operated.

According to one aspect, there is provided a method for predicting floor information for a destination call. The method comprises storing, in a memory, destination call history entries about destination calls made by a user, each destination call history entry comprising a time stamp and a source and destination floor pair for a destination call; detecting an intention of the user to make a new destination call; and predicting a destination floor for the new destination call based on the current time and the stored destination call history entries of the user.
