Abstract
An elevator system is provided. Aspects includes at least one elevator car, a plurality of sensors, a controller coupled to a memory, the controller configured to receive a call request for an elevator car from a user device. An identifier is transmitted to the user device and to the plurality of sensors. A location of the user device is determined based at least in part on at least one sensor in the plurality of sensors detecting the identifier on the user device. And the at least one elevator car is operated based on the location of the user device.
Claims13
An elevator system comprising:
- at least one elevator car;
- a plurality of sensors;
- a controller coupled to a memory, the controller configured to:
- receive a call request for an elevator car from a user device;
- transmit an identifier to the user device;
- determine a location of the user device based at least in part on at least one sensor in the plurality of sensors detecting the identifier on the user device;
- and
- operate the at least one elevator car based on the location of the user device;
- wherein the controller is further configured to transmit a confirmation to the user device;
- wherein the confirmation comprises a time window for a user of the user device to travel to a first region.
A system for detecting a location of an elevator passenger, the system comprising:
- a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors are positioned at one or more locations associated with an elevator system;
- a processor coupled to a memory, the processor configured to:
- receive a call request for an elevator car from a user device;
- transmit an identifier to the user device;
- determine a location of the user device based at least in part on at least one sensor in the plurality of sensors detecting the identifier on the user device;
- and
- transmit the call request to an elevator controller;
- wherein the processor is further configured to transmit a confirmation to the user device;
- wherein the confirmation comprises a time window for a user of the user device to travel to a first region.
A method for registering elevator calls for an elevator system, the elevator system comprising a plurality sensors in communication with a controller, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the controller, a call request for an elevator car from a user device, wherein the user device includes an identifier;
- determining a location of the user device based at least in part on at least one sensor in the plurality of sensors detecting the identifier on the user device;
- operating the at least one elevator car based on the location of the user device;
- transmitting, by the controller, a confirmation to the user device;
- wherein the confirmation comprises a time window for a user of the user device to travel to a first region.
