20120305341 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM - Disclosed is a solution for controlling an elevator system, which elevator system includes at least one elevator, call-giving appliances in the elevator lobbies, and also a device for detecting in the desired identification area contact patterns directed onto the floor surface of at least one elevator lobby. A user to be connected to a call given from the elevator lobby is classified on the basis of the contact pattern produced by the user, the type data of the call is connected to the call on the basis of the classification, and the call with its type data is transmitted to the control system of the elevator system for controlling the elevators. | 12-06-2012 |
20130056311 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR LIMITING ACCESS RIGHTS - The present invention presents a solution for limiting access rights in a building, which building contains a conveying system, an access control system connected to the conveying system, which access control system comprises at least one short-range identification point and at least one long-range identification point and in which access control system passengers have a personal terminal device for giving service requests to the conveying system. A terminal device is taken into the operating area of a short-range identification point, the access rights connected to the service requests of the terminal device are activated, the terminal device is taken into the operating area of a long-range identification point and a service request generated with the terminal device is transmitted to the conveying system, if the access right connected to the service request is valid on the basis of the activation. | 03-07-2013 |
20130277153 | CONVEYING SYSTEM - The present invention discloses a conveying system and a method for registering service requests in a conveying system, which comprises at least one transport device. A detection area bounded on a floor surface is in connection with the transport device, in which detection area the identification data contained in the personal identifiers of passengers is read. The service profiles of passengers who have arrived in the detection area and/or who have left the detection area are determined on the basis of the identification data, and a service request according to the service profiles is registered for transporting and/or admitting passengers in the detection area to the location indicated by the service request. | 10-24-2013 |
20140131143 | METHOD, ARRANGEMENT AND ELEVATOR SYSTEM - A method for identifying an elevator allocated by an elevator system for a user of the elevator system is provided, which elevator system includes a plurality of elevators, and an apparatus that communicates with the elevator system, more particularly with the control system of it, and that is available to a user, which apparatus includes a display. In the method a real-time view of the landscape behind the display is transmitted via the display to the front of the display to the user, and predetermined graphics are presented to the user on the display at a point that transmits to the user a real-time view of the allocated elevator, or in the immediate proximity of said point. An arrangement for identifying an elevator allocated by an elevator system for a user of the elevator system, and also to an elevator arrangement is provided, which implement the aforementioned method. | 05-15-2014 |
20140231185 | ELEVATOR SYSTEM - The present invention discloses a method and an elevator system for allocating elevators to passenger groups. Passengers have access cards, the identification data of which is read, a passenger group is formed on the basis of the identification data, the destination calls to be connected to the passenger group are registered and an elevator is allocated for the use of the passenger group. | 08-21-2014 |
20150251874 | METHOD AND A SYSTEM FOR AUTOMATIC GENERATION OF ELEVATOR CALLS - A method and system are provided for generating automatic elevator calls for an elevator system in a building, in which is a plurality of apartments and in the apartments an apartment-specific sensor, the sensor signal produced by which detects that a person is leaving or has left an apartment. On the basis of the sensor signal, an elevator is called to the floor on which the apartment is situated for collecting the person who has left the apartment. | 09-10-2015 |
20150266700 | CALL-GIVING SYSTEM OF AN ELEVATOR AND METHOD FOR GIVING ELEVATOR CALLS IN THE CALL-GIVING SYSTEM OF AN ELEVATOR - The call-giving system of an elevator comprises at least one optical sensor and/or a microwave sensor, which is/are configured to give a signal to the call system of the elevator about an object or shape coming into one or more virtual target areas defined in the detection area. The patent application also comprises an independent claim for a method for giving elevator calls in the call-giving system of an elevator. | 09-24-2015 |
20150321881 | APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR ELEVATOR ALLOCATION USING A MAGNETIC FIELD MAP IN AN ELEVATOR SYSTEM - The invention relates to a method and apparatus. In the method a target area is divided to a plurality of cells. A plurality of movement paths of mobile nodes are determined, each movement path comprising an origin cell and a target cell, the origin cell and the target cell being determined using a magnetic map of the target area. The durations of the plurality of movement paths are determined for an elevator user. A route topology data structure is formed using the plurality of movement paths and the durations of the plurality of movement paths, the data structure comprising for a plurality of cells an estimated time to reach an elevator location. An elevator call in a request cell is determined by a requesting mobile node. The time to reach the elevator location is determined using the data structure and information on the request cell, and an elevator car is selected to serve the elevator call based on the time to reach the elevator location, current positions of at least two elevator cars, and current directions of at the least two elevator cars. | 11-12-2015 |
