A hall destination floor input device for elevators includes an information input receiver provided on a hall of an elevator on a floor set as an evacuation floor in case of an emergency in a building including the elevator. The information input receiver receives information from outside. The device also includes a signal transmitter that transmits a signal to a control system of the elevator, and a controller configured to cause the signal transmitter to transmit a signal indicating a destination floor of the elevator when the information receiver receives input of information on the destination floor if an operation mode is not an emergency mode based on emergency information of the building, and cause the signal transmitter to transmit a signal to open a door of the elevator on the hall when the information input receiver starts receiving input of information if the operation mode is the emergency mode.

There is provided an elevator control system capable of improving operation efficiency of an elevator. The elevator control system includes a processor; and a memory to store a program which performs processes of recognizing a floor based on information from in a car of an elevator during travel of the car, determining a destination floor based on the floor recognized, determining whether or not the destination floor determined during the travel of the car, and registering a call corresponding to the destination floor in the car during the travel of the car in a case where the destination floor is determined to be the stoppable floor. The program performs processes of, in a case where the destination floor is not determined to be the stoppable floor, registering the call corresponding to the destination floor in the car after the car responds to all calls registered in the car.

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.

An elevator control device recognizes a destination floor of a user from a voice of the user input to a voice input device, registers a voice car call corresponding to the recognized destination floor, generates stop floor information including a stop floor at which a car stops before the car arrives at the destination floor after the registration of the voice car call, and performs, as a voice announcement that follows the generated stop floor information, any one of a first announcement for notifying of the stop floor in order of floors at which the car stops and a second announcement for notifying of how many floors the car stops at before arriving at the destination floor.

A conveyance system includes a local gateway configured to communicate with a remote system over a communications network; at least one module in communication with the local gateway; the at least one module including a processor configured to perform local processing of data at the at least one module.

An elevator installation for a building includes an elevator controller to move from one floor to another floor and a plurality of sensor units. Each sensor unit is located on a floor and configured to generate an electrical signal that is indicative of a noise level in its vicinity. A processing unit analyzes received electrical signals to determine if there is an increased noise level on a floor on which the sensor unit generating that electrical signal is located, and to detect that a source of noise moves to distinguish it from a non-moving source of noise that may also be responsible for an increased noise level, and generates a control signal for the elevator controller that is indicative of the floor with the increased noise level. The elevator controller in response to the control signal causes the elevator car to move to the floor with the increased noise level.

An elevator control device recognizes a destination floor of a user from a voice of the user input to a voice input device, registers a voice car call corresponding to the recognized destination floor, generates stop floor information including a stop floor at which a car stops before the car arrives at the destination floor after the registration of the voice car call, and performs, as a voice announcement that follows the generated stop floor information, any one of a first announcement for notifying of the stop floor in order of floors at which the car stops and a second announcement for notifying of how many floors the car stops at before arriving at the destination floor.

An elevator system is provided. Aspects includes an elevator car, a sensor, and a projector affixed to the elevator car, wherein the projector is operated by a controller and the controller is configured to receive an indication of a presence of a passenger in the elevator car. A car operating panel is projected, by a projector, in the elevator car, wherein the car operating panel comprises a virtual element. An activation of the virtual element from the passenger is sensed by a sensor and an action is initiated based at least in part on sensing the activation of the virtual element.

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.

Methods and systems for reporting issues in an elevator system are provided. The reporting system includes a display located within an elevator car, an input device configured to receive input from a passenger within the elevator car, and a computing system having a processor and a memory, the computing system configured to generate a user interface on the display and configured to receive input from the input device, wherein the memory includes a list of possible issues related to the elevator car. The computing system is configured to generate a user report based on the received input, and transmit the user report to a remote location.
