Abstract
The method for data transfer in a conveyance system including: moving a conveyance apparatus and a mobile wireless access point attached to the conveyance apparatus to a location where the mobile wireless access point is within wireless range of a communication node; receiving data from the communication node when the mobile wireless access point is within wireless range of the communication node; and conveying the data to a local gateway device or a second mobile wireless access point attached to a second conveyance apparatus.
Claims18
A method for data transfer in a conveyance system, the method comprising:
- moving a first conveyance apparatus and a first mobile wireless access point attached to the first conveyance apparatus to a location where the first mobile wireless access point is within wireless range of a communication node that is located on a landing;
- wirelessly receiving data from the communication node when the first mobile wireless access point is within wireless range of the communication node,
- wirelessly transmitting the data from the first mobile wireless access point to a second mobile wireless access point attached to a second conveyance apparatus;
- and
- conveying the data to the local gateway device via the second mobile wireless access point attached to the second conveyance apparatus;
- and
- transmitting the data from the local gateway device to a remote system via a network.
A method for data transfer in a conveyance system, the method comprising:
- receiving data at a local gateway device, the data being sent from a remote system via a network, the conveyance system comprising a first mobile wireless access point attached to a first conveyance apparatus and a second mobile wireless point attached to a second conveyance apparatus;
- wirelessly transmitting the data from the local gateway device to the second mobile wireless access point;
- conveying the data to the first mobile wireless access point via the second mobile wireless access point;
- wirelessly transmitting the data from the second mobile wireless access point to the first mobile wireless access point;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting the data from the first mobile wireless access point when the first mobile wireless access point is within wireless range of a communication node that is located on a landing.
A conveyance system, comprising:
- a conveyance apparatus:
- a mobile wireless access point attached to the control, the mobile wireless access point comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- moving a first conveyance apparatus and a first mobile wireless access point attached to the first conveyance apparatus to a location where the first mobile wireless access point is within wireless range of a communication node that is located on a landing;
- wirelessly receiving the data from the communication node when the mobile wireless access point is within wireless range of the communication node;
- wirelessly transmitting the data from the first mobile wireless access point to a second mobile wireless access point attached to a second conveyance apparatus;
- and
- conveying the data to the local gateway device via the second mobile wireless access point attached to the second conveyance apparatus;
- and
- wirelessly transmitting the data from the local gateway device to a remote system via a network.
