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.

A security device for a building-related passenger transport system includes a microcontroller having a memory, a processor and a communication interface. A security module is stored in the memory and, when it is executed on the processor, receives security-relevant signals from components of the passenger conveyor system, evaluates the signals with regard to a security problem and transmits a warning signal to a controller of the passenger conveyor system in the event of a security problem. An update module is stored in the memory and, when it is executed on the processor, receives a software package via the communication interface and updates at least parts of the security module with the software package. The microcontroller is configured such that the security module is able to be amended only by the update module.

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.

A guide for individual movement machinery. The guide includes a base, a frame and a monitoring system. The monitoring system includes arrays of sensors affixed to each of the base and the frame to respectively sense guide conditions and to generate readings accordingly.

A self-diagnostic circuit includes an electrical conductor configured to multiplex, a first switch interposing the electrical conductor, and a first module crossing the first switch. The first module includes a first receptor antenna associated with the conductor on one side of the first switch, a first emitter antenna associated with the conductor on an opposite side of the first switch, and a first interfacing microprocessor. The first interfacing microprocessor is configured to receive no signal from the first receptor antenna when the first switch is open thus generating a first open signal and a first address signal indicative of the first module and outputting the first open signal and the first address signal to the conductor via the first emitter antenna. The first interfacing microprocessor is further configured to receive a first induced frequency signal from the first receptor antenna when the first switch is closed thus generating a first closed signal and the first address signal indicative of the first module and outputting the first closed signal and the first address signal to the conductor via the first emitter antenna.

Embodiments are directed to an intelligent elevator control system utilizing wireless user location awareness. An embodiment of non-transitory computer-readable storage mediums includes instructions for detecting a mobile device of a user at a first wireless access point for an elevator system; requesting authentication of the user for use of the elevator system from an authentication server; upon receiving authentication for the user from the authentication server, the authentication identification of a first authorized destinations for the user, calling, by an elevator control, a first elevator for the user; and directing the first elevator to the first authorized destination.

A destination call, as an example of an action, is automatically generated in an elevator system when detected current connection data correspond to a stored behavior pattern for the usage of the elevator system. A communicative link between a sensor in a sensor system that comprises a multitude of sensors and the mobile electronic device of a passenger is detected, and connection data about the communicative link are recorded. The connection data are compared with data stored in a memory device containing at least one behavior pattern in order to determine whether the connection data correspond to a stored behavior pattern.

A temperature abnormality detection system of the present invention includes a first temperature sensor that measures a first temperature indicated by a target device and a second temperature sensor that measures a second temperature indicated by ambient air around the target device. A temperature difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is calculated, and when this temperature difference becomes a predetermined threshold value or more, it is determined that a temperature abnormality of the target device has occurred.

A method for monitoring a conveying system with a monitoring device includes recording a signal pattern progression in relation to a functional unit of the conveying system. A reference signal progression is stored in a database as is a correlation data set for the reference signal progression, the correlation data set including instants or time segments in the reference signal progression and reference to the functional unit. The reference is linked to each instant or time segment, the recorded signal pattern progression is compared with the reference signal progression by a processing unit, and in the event of deviation between the signal progressions an entry in the correlation data set belonging to the reference signal progression is determined by the processing unit on the basis of an instant or time segment of such a deviation, and the functional unit referenced there is output as a cause.

A method for checking the status of field devices of a building-associated installation for transporting people includes the steps of: sending a command block of a status telegram from a monitoring unit via a series bus to a plurality of field devices; supplementing the status telegram by the field devices that are addressed by the command block; receiving the data block supplemented by the addressed field devices by the monitoring unit; and evaluating the status values in the supplemented data block by the monitoring unit.
