Claims17
An elevator system capable of monitoring children use, comprising an elevator controlling apparatus, wherein the elevator system further comprises:
- an RGB-D sensor, mounted at a predetermined position to at least acquire red green blue (RGB) information and depth (D) information;
- and
- an information analytic processing apparatus, configured to perform real-time analytic processing on at least the D information or a combination of the RGB information and the D information, so as to implement detection and determination on a child;
- wherein the information analytic processing apparatus is further configured to send an alarm message when passengers are all determined as children;
- and
- the elevator system further comprises:
- a confirming apparatus, configured to receive the alarm message and real-time display at least the RGB information acquired by the RGB-D sensor at least when the alarm message is received, and configured to confirm whether the passengers are all children based on at least the displayed RGB information, and send a control instruction used to ensure children safety to the elevator controlling apparatus when it is confirmed that the passengers are all children.
An elevator system control method capable of monitoring children use, comprising:
- at least acquiring RGB information and depth (D) information through an RGB-D sensor;
- performing real-time analytic processing on at least the D information or a combination of the RGB information and the D information, so as to implement detection and determination on a child, and sending an alarm message when passengers are determined as all children;
- real-time displaying through a confirming apparatus, at least the RGB information acquired by the RGB-D sensor at least when the alarm message is received, by the confirming apparatus, and confirming through the confirming apparatus whether the passengers are all children based on the displayed RGB information;
- and
- sending a control instruction used to ensure children safety when it is confirmed that the passengers are all children.
