Abstract
A passenger conveyance system includes a processing module in communication with one or more sensors to receive the depth map data, and one or more security sensors to receive the security data, the processing module uses the depth map data and the security data to calculate passenger data that is operable to recognize a particular passenger. An elevator controller to receive the passenger data from the processing module, wherein the elevator controller controls an elevator dispatch control function in response to the particular passenger.
Claims22
A passenger conveyance system, comprising:
- one or more sensors for capturing 3D sensor data;
- a processing module in communication with the one or more sensors to receive the sensor data;
- the processing module uses the 3D sensor data to calculate passenger data and to calculate security data that is operable to recognize the location and identity of a particular passenger and is operable to recognize a desired destination of the particular passenger;
- and
- a passenger conveyance controller to receive the passenger data and security data from the processing module, wherein the passenger conveyance controller controls the operation of a passenger conveyance system in response to the particular passenger to assign a particular passenger conveyance enclosure for the particular passenger.

- and
- a passenger conveyance controller to receive the passenger data and security data from the processing module, wherein the passenger conveyance controller controls the operation of a passenger conveyance system in response to the particular passenger to assign a particular passenger conveyance enclosure for the particular passenger, wherein the processing module is operable to alert the particular passenger prior to the particular passenger embarking on an incorrect passenger conveyance enclosure.
A method of passenger tracking for a passenger conveyance system, the method comprising:
- recognizing a particular passenger upon entry into an origin passenger conveyance waiting area by sensor data;
- associating a desired destination in response to recognizing the particular passenger;
- assigning a particular passenger conveyance enclosure for the recognized person;
- and
- alerting the recognized person if the recognized person embarks on an incorrect associated passenger conveyance enclosure.
