TOUCHLESS ELEVATOR OPERATION
This disclosure describes systems, methods, and devices related to touchless elevator. A device may detect a first touchless command received from a user, wherein the first touchless command is to control an elevator. The device may generate a feedback signal indicating a recognition of the first touchless command. The device may detect a second touchless command associated with moving the elevator to a designated floor in a building. The device may generate a signal to cause the elevator to move the designated floor.
METHOD AND AN APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLING ELEVATOR SYSTEM
Vehicle parking information is used to control an elevator system. The vehicle parking information indicates that at least one parking space is occupied, and one or more elements of the elevator system may be controlled based on the vehicle parking information. An apparatus, a method and a computer program are provided.
TRANSPORT SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME
A transport system which is suited for providing a number of person-transport services has a conveyor arrangement, a number of stationary stations and a controllable drive arrangement. A control unit system controls operation of the drive arrangement. The control unit system is configured to control a multitude of person-transport services which are requestable via an interface arrangement by non-touch, acoustical or electromagnetic signals. The number of such services is at least 50% of the person-transport services which may be provided by the transport system.
SYSTEM AND METHOD OF INITIATING ELEVATOR SERVICE BY ENTERING AN ELEVATOR CALL
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.
ISSUE REPORTING FOR ELEVATOR SYSTEMS
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.
HOLOGRAPHIC ELEVATOR CONTROL BOX
A holographic elevator control box, which comprises a housing and a first cover plate. The surface of the housing is fixedly connected with a first cover plate through bolts. The inside of the housing is provided with a holographic optical module. The holographic optical module is fixedly connected with the housing. The surface of the holographic optical module group is fixedly connected with a screen. The surface of the first cover plate is fixedly connected with a main board. The screen is connected with the main board through wires, and the top of the housing is installed with an induction module. The holographic elevator control box can address cross infection so that when using the elevator with the device, the interaction between the person and the elevator can be realized by clicking, sliding and other gestures on the image generated by the equipment in the air.
ELEVATOR CAR SPACE ALLOCATION BASED ON DETECTING VOICES OF POTENTIAL PASSENGERS
An illustrative example embodiment of a device includes an elevator passenger interface configured to allow a passenger to place a call for elevator service by indicating at least one of an intended destination and an intended direction. The elevator passenger interface includes at least one sound detector. A processor is configured to determine a number of passengers intending to travel to the intended destination or in the intended direction based on at least an indication from the sound detector regarding voice detection and to associate the determined number of passengers with the call.
VOICE ACTIVATED ELEVATOR SYSTEM INTERFACE THAT PROVIDES A CUSTOMIZED RESPONSE
An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator system interface includes a voice-activated input that is configured to receive audible input from a user. A processor is configured to determine a response to the audible input based on a content of the audible input and at least one other factor. An output provides at least an audible indication of the determined response.
VOICE ACTIVATED ELEVATOR PASSENGER INTERFACE CONFIGURATION DEVICE
An illustrative example embodiment of an elevator passenger interface configuration device includes a configuration input that allows an authorized individual to input an indication of a desired functionality of at least one selected elevator passenger interface that is configured to receive audible passenger input. A processor determines at least one operation executable by the elevator passenger interface to provide the desired functionality based on the indication of the desired functionality. Memory associated with the processor at least temporarily stores information regarding the operation. A configuration output is configured to communicate information regarding the operation from the memory to the elevator passenger interface.
DETERMINING FLOOR NAME BASED ON AUDIO AND/OR VISUAL SAMPLES
A processor obtains an audio sample captured by an audio sensor associated with a device and/or image data captured by an image sensor associated with the device. The image data comprises a representation of one or more elevator buttons. The processor analyzes the audio sample to identify a floor name indicator in the audio sample and/or the image data to identify an activated elevator button from among the one or more elevator buttons represented by the image data; and determines a floor name based on the floor name indicator identified in the analyzed audio sample and/or a floor name indicator associated with the identified activated elevator button in accordance with the analyzed image data. The processor causes the determined floor name to be stored and/or provided for positioning purposes.
