Arrangement for the allocation of destination calls
The invention refers to an arrangement for the allocation of destination calls in an elevator system with at least two elevators, comprising a wireless transmitter device connected with an allocation control of the elevator system. The transmitter device interacts within a certain mutual distance with a wireless ID device carried by a passenger, which ID device is configured to transmit to the transmitter device an ID which is linked with a special transportation service in the elevator system. The elevator system comprises a memory with correlated operation parameters of the elevators which are linked to the particular special transportation service request of the ID device, whereby the ID device is configured to transmit ID data and/or a call with a departure floor and destination floor to the allocation control. The transmitter device is located within a transmitter accommodation space located at least in the vicinity of an elevator, whereby the transmitter device is located in the vicinity of a tag carrying a symbol correlated to the special transportation service.
INDICATION SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR GENERATING AN INDICATION
An indication system for generating an indication includes at least one indication device, at least one detection device configured to monitor at least one area inside a building to provide monitoring data, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to: detect based on the monitoring data obtained from the at least one detection device at least one predefined gesture of an identified user for which an elevator car (A-D) has been allocated, and control the at least one indication device to generate a visual indication on a floor of the building in a vicinity of the identified user in response to the detection of the at least one predefined gesture of the identified user. A method for generating an indication is also disclosed.
Elevator device
Provided is an elevator device, including: a cage; a car entrance frame including: entrance columns provided at a car entrance of the cage; and an entrance top plate provided on a top side of the car entrance; a car door configured to open and close the car entrance; a projector, which is provided to the car entrance frame so as to be capable of projecting information onto an image display surface provided at a landing when the car door is opened upon arrival of a car at the landing; and a control device configured to control respective operations of the car door and the projector. When the control device controls the car door to open, the control device controls the projector to project the information onto the image display surface.
SOLUTION FOR GENERATING DYNAMIC INFORMATION CONTENT OF A PEOPLE TRANSPORT SYSTEM
The invention relates to a method for generating dynamic information content of a people transport system. The method comprises: receiving an information content request from a terminal device, obtaining status information representing the current status of at least part of the people transport system from a server system, generating a document map comprising references to one or more information content topics based at least on the obtained status information, retrieving the one or more information content topics referred in the document map, generating the dynamic information content based on the retrieved one or more information content topics from the server system, and providing the generated dynamic information content to the terminal device. The invention relates also to a computing unit, a system, and a computer program.
DISPLAY DEVICE, ELEVATOR ASSEMBLY INCLUDING SAME, AND IMAGE PROCESSING METHOD
A display apparatus capable of being installed in an elevator may include: a monitor unit for displaying an output image; and an image processor configured to display, on the monitor unit, at least one of an external image obtained by photographing an external panoramic view of the elevator and a virtual graphic screen related to the external panoramic view. The monitor unit includes a ceiling monitor extending to be inclined at a predetermined angle with respect to a ceiling part of the elevator. The image processor displays, on the monitor unit, a virtual object for giving an effect of providing a sense of boundary between the inside and outside of the elevator to an occupant in the elevator along with the external panoramic view corresponding to at least one of the external image and the virtual graphic screen
SERVER DEVICE, SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD OF SERVER DEVICE, CONTROL METHOD OF SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Provided is a server device with which it is possible to suitably discern whether a user uses an elevator. The server device comprises a first generation unit, a second generation unit, and an output unit. The first generation unit analyzes image data obtained from at least one or more camera devices and generates elevator information pertaining to the usage state of an elevator The second generation unit generates, on the basis of at least the generated elevator information, during-movement reference information that is referred to when the user moves. The output unit outputs the generated during-movement reference information to signage.
Emergency monitoring systems for elevators
Elevator systems and methods for displaying information associated with the elevator systems. The systems including an elevator car located within an elevator shaft, a display located within the elevator car, and an elevator emergency monitoring system having an elevator shaft monitoring device mounted on the elevator car and configured to capture an image of the elevator shaft. The elevator car is operable in an emergency mode of operation such that an image captured by the elevator shaft monitoring device is displayed on the display within the elevator car.
Lintel assembly for elevator and elevator system
A door lintel assembly for an elevator, and an elevator system. The door lintel assembly includes: a door lintel panel having an opening thereon; a display device, which is installed on the door lintel panel via the opening, and which has a display screen on a first side of the door lintel panel, and electronic components on a second side of the door lintel panel; and a rotation device, which includes a first bracket installed on both sides of the door lintel panel, a second bracket fixedly installed, and a rotation mechanism connecting the first bracket and the second bracket, wherein the rotation mechanism drives the first bracket and the door lintel panel to rotate relative to the second bracket.
Detecting elevator mechanics in elevator systems
Embodiments include a method and system for detecting mechanics in an elevator system. The system includes a controller configured to communicate with one or more anchors, and a tag configured to transmit a signal, wherein the signal includes an identifier and location information. The system also includes one or more anchors, wherein the one or more anchors are configured to detect the signal from the tag, wherein the controller is configured to execute a safety action response to detecting the signal from the tag.
Method and apparatus for effectively utilizing cab space
A method and a system for efficiently managing space inside an elevator cab is described. The system comprises a camera system, an image processing unit, a processing unit, and a display unit. The system processes the image captured by the camera system comprising images of the occupants including passengers and objects inside the elevator. The captured image is transferred to the image processing unit. The image processing unit processes the image for further evaluation by the processing unit. The processing unit provides possible rearrangement of the passengers and the objects (occupants) to be rendered by the display unit.
