DESTINATION DISPATCH DYNAMIC TUNING
A system and a method of assigning an elevator car of an elevator system based on an adjustment parameter are provided. The method includes assigning, using the elevator controller, the elevator car based on the adjustment parameter in response to receiving an elevator call, wherein the adjustment parameter includes at least a person to call ratio, receiving one or more system parameters, and updating the adjustment parameter based on the system parameters.
MOBILE CALL MODIFY
A system and a method of modifying an elevator call with a mobile device is provided. The method includes sending, to an elevator controller, a first input wherein the first input is a first elevator call, calling, using the elevator controller, an elevator based on the first elevator call and the mobile device, sending, using the mobile device, a second input, wherein the second input is a modify command, and modifying, using the elevator controller, the first elevator call based on the modify command.
WIRELESS DEVICE INSTALLATION INTERFACE
A system and a method of connecting to wireless hardware of an elevator system during installation are provided. The method includes detecting, using a mobile device, a sensor of the wireless hardware within range, connecting the mobile device and sensor using a wireless connection, and configuring a parameter of the sensor using the mobile device through the wireless connection to the sensor.
Contactless Elevator Service for an Elevator Based on Augmented Datasets
Systems, methods and devices for real-time contactless elevator service operation of an elevator includes a trained neural network (TNN) model. The TNN model is trained using a training processor with augmented datasets as a synthetic training dataset, to later perform elevator identifier recognition. The augmented data sets are generated from synthetic text images, the synthetic text images are augmented with different geometrical parameters and visual parameters to a predetermined number of variations in appearance to a set of training elevator identifiers. A camera captures a user image. A text image portion from the user image is extracted using the TNN model, and detects an elevator identifier in the extracted text image portion using the extracted text image portion and the TNN model. The detected elevator identifier is displayed for user confirmation or user cancellation, and upon user confirmation, generates a control command based the detected elevator identifier associated with an elevator service.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPERATION OF ELEVATORS AND OTHER DEVICES
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.
ANONYMOUS AND EPHEMERAL TOKENS TO AUTHENTICATE ELEVATOR CALLS
According to one or more embodiments, a system and method for authorizing a user securing an elevator call in a building is provided. For example, the method includes receiving, at a mobile device, a secure authorization token that includes an expiration time, connecting the mobile device to a backend system using the secure authorization token from the mobile device, verifying, using the backend system, an authenticity of the secure authorization token from the mobile device based on at least the expiration time, generating, at the backend system, a secure access token and a random number in response to the authenticity of the secure authorization token being verified, and receiving, at the mobile device, the secure access token and the random number for use making elevator call requests.
COMMUNICATION OF EXPECTED ELEVATOR BOARDING TIME
An elevator system configured to determine and transmit an estimated elevator boarding time to a mobile call input device, wherein the boarding time includes the arrival time of the elevator car based on a registered target floor registration information and the duration of time to place the elevator car door and the hoistway door in a fully open state.
Building management robot and method of providing service using the same
A building management robot includes a communication unit configured to recognize an identification device corresponding to a first divided space among at least one divided space in a building and acquire first identification information of the first divided space from the identification device, a camera configured to acquire image data including a position where the identification device is recognized, and a processor configured to recognize a user from the image data, confirm an authentication level of the first divided space of the recognized user from a database, and provide the user with a service based on the confirmed authentication level.
ELEVATOR CAR LOCATION SENSING SYSTEM
An elevator car location sensing system includes at least one first barometric pressure sensor disposed at a sensor position. The first barometric pressure sensor is configured to measure at least one first barometric pressure at the sensor position. An elevator control module is configured to electrically communicate with at least one mobile terminal device that is movable among a plurality of different altitudes. The elevator control module receives a second barometric pressure from the mobile terminal device located at a current altitude, and determines the current altitude based on a comparison between the first barometric pressure and the second barometric pressure.
AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT AND MEDIUM
According to one embodiment, an autonomous mobile robot includes a communication device, a memory, and a hardware processor connected to the communication device and the memory. The communication device receives list information indicating ride conditions of a car from the elevator control system when transmitting a car call message to an elevator control system on a hall of any floor. The hardware processor includes a ride determination unit and a movement control unit. The ride determination unit determines whether the robot is able to ride in the car or not, based on the list information when the car arrives. The movement control unit allows the robot to ride in the car and move to a destination floor when the robot is able to ride.
