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.

A method of operating an infotainment system including: transmitting a public key request for the infotainment system, the public key request including a hardware identification number that identifies the infotainment system; receiving a public key for the infotainment system; saving the public key and content or firmware for the infotainment system onto a mobile storage medium; and transferring the public key and the content or the firmware from the mobile storage medium to the infotainment system.

An application server is configured to receive first information associated with an elevator communication network configured to carry data associated with a plurality of elevator system nodes communicatively connected to the elevator communication network; and provide an application interface towards at least one client, the application interface enabling provision of at least part of the first information associated with the elevator communication network to the at least one client.

According to an aspect, there is provided an elevator communication system. The system comprises an elevator communication network configured to carry elevator system associated data and a plurality of elevator system nodes communicatively connected to the elevator communication network, wherein at least some of the plurality of elevator system nodes each comprises a camera associated with different landing floors, respectively, configured to provide image data about a respective landing floor area and wherein at least one of the plurality of elevator system nodes comprises a display arranged in an elevator car; and an apparatus communicatively connected to the elevator communication network, the apparatus being configured to receive an elevator call to a landing floor, and cause the display to display data provided by a camera associated with the landing floor in response to the elevator call to the landing 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.

Disclosed is an elevator system including a system controller, wherein the system controller is configured to: render a plurality of determinations for effecting elevator service during a lockdown condition, including a first determination that an elevator car is transporting a first passenger to a first floor, a second determination that a lockdown event is occurring at a second floor, a third determination for the elevator car to transport the first passenger to a third floor to avoid travel proximate the second floor, and execute one or more communications including: a first communication to an elevator car controller for the elevator car to effect the third determination.

This disclosure relates to a cooling system for an elevator with electronic visual displays, and a corresponding method. An example system includes an elevator car having an inner wall, and an electronic visual display mounted to the inner wall so as to define a gap between the inner wall and the electronic visual display. Further, fluid is configured to flow through the gap to cool the electronic visual display.

A building security system includes an emergency communications system of an elevator installation, and a building alarm system. The emergency communications system has a communications interface to couple the emergency communications system to a remote elevator service central in an emergency situation, and an emergency call panel arranged in an elevator car to allow a passenger to communicate with the remote elevator service central via the communications interface while in the elevator car during the emergency situation. The building alarm system includes a plurality of sensor units arranged at predetermined locations of the building and selected to detect predetermined building events. The building alarm system is communicatively coupled to the emergency communications system of the elevator installation for communicating the building event to the elevator service central via the emergency communications system of the elevator installation, and/or for receiving an action request from the remote elevator service central via the communications interface of the emergency communications system.

An elevator operator terminal includes a display device, a storage device and a processing device for use with an elevator system in a building. The processing device is connected to the storage device and activates the display device to generate a user interface having a plurality of display fields. The user interface has a call input area and a floor indicator area. The call input area displays a predetermined first number of display fields that are each associated with a predetermined floor in the building and are enabled for call input. The floor indicator area displays a predetermined second number of display fields that are each associated with a predetermined floor in the building and are disabled for call input.

A monitoring system for an escalator including: a local gateway device; an analytic engine in communication with the local gateway device through a cloud computing network; a sensing apparatus in wireless communication with the local gateway device through a short-range wireless protocol, the sensing apparatus including: an inertial measurement unit sensor configured to detect acceleration data of the escalator, wherein at least one of the sensing apparatus, the local gateway device, and the analytic engine is configured to determine an operating mode of the escalator in response to at least the acceleration data; and an application for a computing device, the application being configured to display weather data simultaneously with the operating mode of the escalator on a display device of the computing device.
