20090133969 | DESTINATION ENTRY PASSENGER INTERFACE WITH MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS - An elevator system ( | 05-28-2009 |
20120267203 | MODERNIZING AN ELEVATOR INSTALLATION - A method for modernizing an elevator installation includes installing story terminals for input of a destination story on the stories of the building, which terminals are so coupled with an elevator control device connected with an input device in the elevator cage that, at least in a standard mode, after input of the destination story call detected by means of the story terminal, the cage automatically travels to the selected destination story, and in that case a story selection in the cage by use of the input device is no longer possible. The indicating means for representing selected stories of the input device are so incorporated in the control system that the indicating means, after input of a story call by way of the story terminal, are activated. | 10-25-2012 |
20120279808 | WIRELESS DESTINATION ENTRY FOR ELEVATOR DISPATCHING SYSTEM - A method for wireless destination entry in an elevator dispatching system, the elevator dispatching system comprising a wireless transmitter/receiver (T/R) includes receiving a request to join a network of the T/R from a wireless device; pushing a web page from the T/R to the wireless device; receiving a service request by the T/R from the wireless device via the web page; communicating the service request from the T/R to a group controller; and dispatching an elevator car by the group controller to service the service request. A elevator dispatching system and a computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium contain computer code that, when executed by a computer, implements a method for wireless destination entry in an elevator dispatching system, the elevator dispatching system comprising a wireless transmitter/receiver, are also provided. | 11-08-2012 |
20140027208 | LIGHTING COUPLED TO ELEVATOR SYSTEM - The invention relates to a method and an elevator system in a building including a plurality of floor levels ( | 01-30-2014 |
20140097046 | ELEVATOR INSTALLATION ACCESS SECURITY METHOD WITH POSITION DETECTION - Using a position detection device, a position of a user in a building area outside of an elevator system is detected. It is determined, after the user has entered an elevator car, that the user is not authorized to travel to a destination floor designated by a destination for the user. As a result of the determination, the elevator car is moved to an area other than the destination floor. | 04-10-2014 |
20140151160 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM FIXTURES AND SERVER FOR CONTROLLING THE FIXTURES - An exemplary system for communicating with an elevator passenger includes a plurality of elevator passenger interface devices configured to allow an elevator passenger to indicate at least an elevator service request. The interface devices are configured to communicate at least elevator service information to an elevator passenger. A server communicates with the plurality of interface devices. The server is configured to determine when there is input at any of the interface devices. The server is configured to determine a meaning of such input. The server is also configured to determine output to provide at the corresponding interface device and to communicate the determined output to the corresponding interface device. The determined output is responsive to the determined meaning of the input. | 06-05-2014 |
20140284146 | CONTEXT-AWARE SYSTEM FOR ELEVATOR OPERATION - A context-aware system for elevator operation includes an elevator operable to move up and down, and having an internal operating panel allowing selection of a floor to cause the elevator to stop, floor operating panels to call the elevator, and to indicate both a floor selected from the internal operating panel and a floor where the elevator has been called among other floors, a system control unit to adjust a movement direction and a movement speed of the elevator by detecting the floor selected from the internal operating panel and a floor operating panel from which the elevator has been called among the floor operating panels, and a driving unit to drive to move the elevator by control of the system control unit. Therefore, a user may predict a floor at which the elevator is scheduled to stop, and a movement speed may increase and power consumption may reduce. | 09-25-2014 |
20140374196 | ELEVATOR DEVICE - An elevator device includes a voice input device, a voice recognition device, a call registration device, and an announcement control device. Upon receipt of an announcement request for a second announcement having higher priority than a first announcement while the announcement control device is causing the announcement output device to output the first announcement, the announcement control device stops the first announcement and causes the announcement output device to output the second announcement. The announcement control device also determines whether the re-output of the first announcement is necessary. In the case where the announcement control device determines that the re-output of the first announcement is necessary, upon finish of the second announcement, the announcement control device causes the announcement output device to re-output the first announcement. | 12-25-2014 |
20160090270 | DEVICE TRIGGERED ELEVATOR CAR CALL - Embodiments are directed to establishing, by at least one panel of an elevator system, communication with a user device comprising at least one of a cell phone, a smartphone, a PDA, and a laptop computer, receiving, by the at least one panel, an identifier associated with the user device based on the established communication, receiving, by the at least one panel, a selection of a destination floor, and associating, by the at least one panel, the identifier with the destination floor. | 03-31-2016 |
20160122157 | MOBILE APPLICATION BASED DISPATCHING - Embodiments are directed to receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, registration information associated with a tenant of a building and at least one user device, determining, by the computing device, that the at least one user device is within a threshold distance of the building, causing, by the computing device, an identity of the tenant to be provided by the at least one user device based on the determination that the at least one user device is within the threshold distance of the building, and causing, by the computing device, an elevator car to be dispatched to a floor of the building on which the tenant is located. | 05-05-2016 |
