A method for intelligent control of an elevator to give priority to a floor containing the total highest priority of passengers acquires first images taken by first cameras, identifies targets in the first images, and determines priority levels of the targets. In response to receiving a plurality of first service signals from a number of floors in a building, the method controls a driving unit to drive an elevator to move to service the passengers as targets with a highest total priority level according to individual priority levels of the targets within a group of passengers waiting on each floor of the building.

Provided is an elevator system capable of improving the operation efficiency of an elevator. An elevator system according to the present invention includes: first processing circuitry to receive destination floor information transmitted from a movable body having a movement mechanism and second processing circuitry and being capable of boarding and alighting from a car of an elevator, to assign the car, in which a plurality of onboard positions are set, to a call based on the destination floor information received, and to assign one of the plurality of onboard positions to one movable body based on a destination floor of the movable body. The first processing circuitry transmits to the movable body information indicative of the onboard position assigned to the movable body.

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 incudes collecting one or more frustration indicators of a passenger during usage of the elevator system by the passenger; collecting one or more frustration factors; correlating the one or more frustration factors to the one or more frustration indicators to generate one or more preferences for the passenger; generating a profile for the passenger in response to the correlating, the profile including the one or more preferences; and controlling operation of the elevator system in response to the one or more preferences to reduce frustration of the passenger during interaction with the elevator system.

A method of collecting data using a robot data collection system including: collecting data on a landing of a building using a sensor system of a robot; transmitting the data to a conveyance system of the building; and adjusting operation of the conveyance system in response to the data.

A method of assisting an individual using a robot concierge system including: determining that the individual is in need of assistance using a sensor system of a robot assigned to the conveyance system; and assisting the individual through the robot.

A method for controlling a robot to take elevator, a system for controlling a robot to take elevator, an elevator system, a robot system, and a computer-readable storage medium. The method for controlling a robot to take elevator includes receiving an elevator-taking request from a robot; acquiring current passenger information in at least one elevator car; and determining whether the elevator car meets a pre-set carrying condition according to the acquired current passenger information: if yes, instructing the robot to board the elevator car in response to the elevator-taking request; otherwise, rejecting the elevator-taking request.

A method for intelligent control of an elevator to give priority to a floor containing the total highest priority of passengers acquires first images taken by first cameras, identifies targets in the first images, and determines priority levels of the targets. In response to receiving a plurality of first service signals from a number of floors in a building, the method controls a driving unit to drive an elevator to move to service the passengers as targets with a highest total priority level according to individual priority levels of the targets within a group of passengers waiting on each floor of the building.

An illustrative example method of controlling an elevator system includes detecting a number of passengers waiting for elevator service at a landing, detecting an available passenger capacity of a plurality of elevator cars, respectively, and assigning at least one of the elevator cars to travel to the landing to provide elevator service to the passengers based on the detected number of passengers and the available passenger capacity of the at least one of the elevator cars.

Disclosed is an elevator system including a controller, wherein the controller is configured for: engaging in a first communication with a facial recognition system that identifies a pet and a first person as owner of the pet, and rendering a plurality of determinations from the first communication, including: a first determination that the pet is proximate a first elevator lobby in a building, a second determination to provide instructions to a first elevator car responsive to the first communication, and engaging in a second communication with the first elevator car for effecting the second determination.
