Abstract
A method for dispatching an elevator applied in a block chain system verifies a call for an elevator by a passenger. The method includes: controlling each node of the block chain system to verify the elevator call; broadcasting information to the block chain system as to verification granted when verification of the elevator call by a node is passed; saving consumption information of the elevator call when the quantity of verifications granted received by the node is greater than a first predetermined value; and controlling and dispatching an elevator to be at the service of the passenger as a dedicated elevator when the elevator call is successful. A device for dispatching elevators when called and a system are also provided.
Claims18
An elevator dispatching device utilizing a block chain system, the block chain system comprising a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of nodes saving account balances and block chain addresses of passengers, the device comprising:
- a storage device;
- and
- at least one processor;
- wherein the storage device stores one or more programs, which when executed by the at least one processor, causing the at least one processor to:
- control each of the plurality of nodes to verify an elevator call based on a consensus mechanism when the elevator call is initiated by the passenger, wherein the elevator call is initiated by a call controller of an elevator dispatching system, the call controller of the elevator dispatching system is communicated with the block chain system;
- broadcast verification passed information to the block chain system when the verification of the elevator call by a node of the plurality of nodes is passed;
- save consumption information of the elevator call initiated by the passenger when a quantity of the verification passed information received by the node is greater than a first predetermined value;
- and
- control an elevator controller to dispatch an elevator to the passenger as a dedicated elevator when the elevator call is successful, wherein when the plurality of nodes reaches a consensus as to the elevator call, the elevator call is deemed successful.
An elevator dispatching system, the elevator dispatching system being communicated with a block chain system, the elevator dispatching system comprising:
- a call controller configured to obtain a private key of a passenger to initiate an elevator call;
- and
- an elevator controller configured to dispatch an elevator to the passenger as a dedicated elevator when the elevator call is successful, wherein the block chain system comprises a plurality of nodes, when the plurality of nodes reaches a consensus as to the elevator call, the elevator call is deemed successful.
An elevator dispatching method utilizing a block chain system, the block chain system comprising a plurality of nodes, each of the plurality of nodes saving account balances and block chain addresses of passengers, the method comprising:
- controlling each of the plurality of nodes to verify an elevator call based on a consensus mechanism when the elevator call is initiated by the passenger, wherein the elevator call is initiated by a call controller of an elevator dispatching system, the call controller of the elevator dispatching system is communicated with the block chain system;
- broadcasting verification passed information to the block chain system when the verification of the elevator call by a node of the plurality of nodes is passed;
- saving consumption information of the elevator call initiated by the passenger when a quantity of the verification passed information received by the node is greater than a first predetermined value;
- and
- controlling an elevator controller to dispatch an elevator to the passenger as a dedicated elevator when the elevator call is successful, wherein when the plurality of nodes reaches a consensus as to the elevator call, the elevator call is deemed successful.
