An elevator-calling device and elevator system. The elevator-calling device includes a processor to receive an input instruction and send a signal to a main controller of an elevator system; a display device connected to the processor; a rotatable button, wherein the rotatable button is connected to the processor, and the rotatable button is pressable and rotatable in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction, and wherein the rotatable button has an initial zero scale; and an assistant sound generating unit connected to the processor; wherein the processor is configured to have an assistant elevator-calling mode, in which a preset target floor is increased when the rotatable button rotates in the first direction, the preset target floor is decreased when the rotatable button rotates in the second direction, and the preset target floor is confirmed when the rotatable button is pressed at a non-zero scale.

A passenger transport system includes a plurality of passenger transporters controlled by a transport system control, and further comprises at least one parameter memory configured to store at least one parameter or parameter set for the function of at least one transport system component, which transport system comprises a first wireless interface. The first interface may input data regarding at least one stored parameter or parameter set for the function of the related transport system component(s). The passenger transport system comprises mobile devices carried by users, which mobile devices may communicate wirelessly with the first interface, which communication is based on a short range transmission. The mobile devices may be prompted by the first interface to transmit data regarding the parameter or parameter set of the correlated transport system component. A passenger system interaction with a user to individual user requirements may be customized.

An elevator group management system includes: a hall call registration device which is provided at a first hall; a hall destination call registration device which is provided at a second hall; a notification device which is provided at the first hall; an assigned car display device which is provided at the second hall; and a group management control device which selects a priority car from among a plurality of cars. When a priority car is selected, the group management control device performs, with respect to a hall call to which the priority car is already assigned, hall call control which differs from control with respect to a hall destination call to which the priority car is already assigned.

A passenger system interaction with a user to individual user requirements may be customized.

Disclosed is an elevator system in a building for transporting a passenger with a mobile device between a plurality of levels including a first level having lobby, the system comprising an elevator including an accessibility implement, and a controller that communicates with the elevator and the mobile device, the controller configured to render a plurality of determinations including: a first determination that the passenger requires service from an elevator with an accessibility implement, a second determination that the elevator includes an accessibility implement and is available to service the passenger, and the controller configured to transmit instructions to the elevator whereby the elevator effects the second determination.

Disclosed is an elevator system having a plurality of elevators including a first elevator and a second elevator, and a controller that controls the plurality of elevators and communicates over a network with a first device seeking elevator service at a lobby, wherein the controller: receives a first request from the first device to receive elevator service, provides the first device a first priority number, based on the first priority number and remaining elevator capacity in the plurality of elevators, effects a first assignment wherein the first elevator is assigned to service the first request.

An elevator system has an elevator operating device and an activation device. The operating device is connected to the elevator controller and is arranged on a floor. The operating device has a first radio device, an audio device and a touchscreen for inputting a destination floor desired by a passenger and for outputting travel information. The activation device has an actuation device accessible to the passenger, has a second radio device for radio communication with the first radio device, and is arranged within radio range of the operating device. When the actuation device is actuated by the passenger, the second radio device transmits an activation radio signal. The operating device then switches from a normal operating mode to a special operating mode, in which an operating instruction for a call input by the passenger is generated, and when the call input is complete, switches back to the normal operating mode.

A method for making elevator service requests. The method includes determining a destination requested by a passenger responsive to a passenger touching an appropriate portion of a touch screen of a passenger interface device configured to allow a passenger to indicate a request for elevator service by touching the screen, an assistance up button and an assistance down button near the touch screen, determining that the assistance up button or the assistance down button is being pressed, and determining a destination requested by a passenger responsive to a passenger manipulating the assistance up button or the assistance down button and then subsequently manipulating the assistance up button and assistance down button.

A method for generating a control signal to a conveyor system, the conveyor system configured to serve at least a plurality of robots, includes receiving, in a control entity, a service call for a first robot, the service call being associated with a priority of the first robot; determining, by the control entity, the priority of the first robot; and generating, by the control entity, a control signal to the conveyor system to serve the service call for the first robot in accordance with the determined priority of the first robot. A control entity, a robot and a system are also provided.

A passenger conveyance passenger tracking control system that controls operation of a passenger conveyance, e.g., an elevator car, includes at least one call request device, e.g., a call request panel, configured to receive at least one input from at least one passenger located at a occupancy depth grid. At least one passenger position three-dimensional (3-D) depth-sensing sensor is configured to track a position of the at least one passenger located at the occupancy depth grid. The passenger conveyance passenger tracking control system further includes an electronic control module in signal communication with the at least one call request device and at least one passenger position 3-D depth-sensing sensor. The electronic control module is configured to control operation of the passenger conveyance based on the position of the at least one passenger.
