Abstract
A method of calling an elevator is provided. The method comprising: detecting, using a door lock, at least one status parameter of a door and the door lock operably associated with the door; transmitting, using the door lock, the at least one status parameter to a remote device; determining, using the remote device, whether to call an elevator in response to the at least one status parameter; transmitting, using the remote device, an elevator call request to a controller when it is determined to call an elevator; and moving, using the controller, an elevator to a floor where the door lock is located.

A method of calling an elevator, the method comprising:
- detecting, using a door lock, at least one status parameter of a door and the door lock operably associated with the door;
- transmitting, using the door lock, the at least one status parameter to a remote device;
- determining, using the remote device, whether to call an elevator in response to the at least one status parameter;
- transmitting, using the remote device, an elevator call request to a controller when it is determined to call an elevator;
- moving, using the controller, an elevator to a floor where the door lock is located;
- detecting a distance parameter between the remote device and the door lock;
- determining an estimated time of arrival in response to the at least one status parameter and distance parameter;
- and
- adjusting movement of the elevator in response to the estimated time of arrival.
An elevator call system comprising:
- a remote device application in communication with a door lock, the remote device application configured to:
- receive at least one status parameter from the door lock;
- determine whether to transmit an elevator call request in response to the at least one status parameter;
- and
- a controller in communication with the remote device application, the controller configured to:
- receive an elevator call request when it is determined to call an elevator;
- move the elevator to a floor where the door lock is located;
- wherein
- the remote device application is configured to:
- detect a distance parameter between the remote device and the door lock;
- determine an estimated time of arrival in response to the at least one status parameter and distance parameter;
- and
- adjust movement of the elevator in response to the estimated time of arrival.
