A data capture device for a building system has a housing in which a display device, an optical reading device, and a first reading device are arranged and which are communicatively connected to a control device arranged in the housing. The optical reading device is embodied to optically detect information from a first information carrier, wherein the optical reading device is arranged in such a way that light from the direction of the front side of the housing, which is accessible to a user, can be captured by an image sensor of the optical reading device. The first reading device has a first antenna in order to detect information from a second information carrier by means of radio communication, the first antenna comprising an air coil which has an inner space. The image sensor of the optical reading device is arranged entirely or partially in the inner space of the air coil.

An interface for operating an elevator car includes an interface controller, a foil attached to a wall surface of a wall of the elevator car, the wall surface facing an inside of the elevator car, and at least one pressure-sensitive sensor configured for receiving user requests by an application of a pressure to the at least one sensor. The at least one sensor is connected to the interface controller, the interface controller transmitting the user requests received by the at least one sensor to a car controller of the elevator car, and wherein the at least one sensor is embedded in the foil.

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.

An elevator operating device for inputting a travel request on a floor of a building has a touch-sensitive screen system, which has a screen region that is visible to a passenger, and a central control device. The central control device controls the screen system in a first mode, to display a first graphical user interface, and in a second mode, to display a second graphical user interface. The first graphical user interface comprises one or two travel direction symbols. The second graphical user interface comprises an edge zone for symbolizing a waiting time until the elevator car arrives on the floor, and a center zone for symbolizing an occupancy of the elevator car by passengers, wherein a displayed degree of filling of the center zone symbolizes an occupancy of the elevator car.

A computer-implemented method of automatically generating and populating one or more car floor buttons on a configuration tool display wherein the configuration tool is in communication with an elevator cabin of an elevator system.

There is provided cancelling elevator calls via a touch screen. An elevator operating panel comprises a touch screen for displaying destination floor information and receiving input from a user. A selection of a destination floor for an elevator call is obtained from the user. The selected destination floor is displayed. A swiping gesture is obtained from the user. The elevator call is cancelled when the swiping gesture is applied to the displayed selected destination floor.

A method for operating an elevator and an operating panel for an elevator for carrying out the method, as well as an elevator having such an operating panel, include an operating panel having a plurality of capacitive buttons and a control unit that evaluates a change in capacitance of the capacitive buttons in order to detect an actuation of the button. If an actuation of a first button is detected, the actuation duration of this first button exceeds a predetermined first time period, and an actuation of at least one second button arranged adjacent to the first button is detected, the actuation of the first button is then controlled on the basis of a change in capacitance of the actuated second button such that the control unit cancels the actuation of the first button if the actuation of the second button continues during a predetermined check period.

A method for a haptic feedback system for one or more elevator systems includes detecting a user indication provided via a user interface device of one of the one or more elevator systems, receiving at least one status information, and generating a haptic output signal via the user interface device in accordance with the at least one status information. A control unit, a haptic feedback system and a computer program performing at least part of the method is disclosed.

An elevator system includes a drive controller configured to actuate a drive motor of an elevator drive assembly. A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes program instructions that cause a processor to retrieve a set of rules of the elevator system, generate at least one graphical user interface by applying the set of rules to at least one design template, calculate an acceptance score for the at least one graphical user interface based on a user profile of an administrator, and publish the at least one graphical user interface based at least partially on the acceptance score. The elevator system further includes a display device configured to display the graphical user interface after it is published and cause the drive controller to actuate the drive motor based on user input of a selection of at least one selectable option on the at least one graphical user interface.

An elevator installation has elevator operating devices arranged on floors of a building and communicatively connected to an elevator controller. The elevator operating devices include main operating devices configured for inputting a destination floor desired by a passenger and for outputting travel information, and at least one secondary operating device arranged on one of the floors. The secondary operating device is next to the main operating device on the one floor and is communicatively connected to the elevator controller. The secondary operating device has a touch-sensitive screen system that confirms a destination floor, input by touch, by a tactilely perceptible feedback in order to support a passenger with a physical limitation when inputting a call. The elevator controller determines travel information for the destination floor input on the secondary operating device and communicates this information to the passenger by the main operating device arranged next to the secondary operating device.
