Abstract
A method of managing mobile elevator call requests from a mobile device is provided. The method includes: receiving an elevator call parameter from a management interface; receiving at least one mobile elevator call request from a mobile device; comparing the mobile elevator call request to the elevator call parameter; and restricting the mobile device from sending additional mobile elevator call requests when the mobile elevator call request conflicts with the elevator call parameter.
Claims17
A method of managing mobile elevator call requests from a mobile device, the method comprising:
- receiving an elevator call parameter from a management interface;
- receiving at least one mobile elevator call request from a mobile device;
- comparing the mobile elevator call request to the elevator call parameter;
- and
- restricting the mobile device from sending additional mobile elevator call requests when the mobile elevator call request conflicts with the elevator call parameter,
- wherein the mobile device is restricted from sending additional mobile elevator call requests for a selected timeout period when the mobile elevator call request conflicts with the elevator call parameter.
An elevator system controller comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- receiving an elevator call parameter from a management interface;
- receiving a mobile elevator call request from a mobile device;
- comparing the mobile elevator call request to the elevator call parameter;
- and
- restricting the mobile device from sending additional mobile elevator call requests when the mobile elevator call request conflicts with the elevator call parameter,
- wherein the mobile device is restricted from sending additional mobile elevator call requests for a selected timeout period when the mobile elevator call request conflicts with the elevator call parameter.
