Abstract
A mobile terminal (7) has an acceleration sensor (8) and a direction sensor (9). The mobile terminal (7) includes a route specifying unit (11), a calculating unit (13), a determining unit (14), and a communicating unit (16). The calculating unit (13) calculates a feature quantity of a route specified by the route specifying unit (11) on the basis of the route specified by the route specifying unit (11). The communicating unit (16) transmits call information to the communicating device (6) when the determining unit (14) determines that the route specified by the route specifying unit (11) is a boarding route.

An elevator system, including a group controller which controls a plurality of elevator devices as a group in response to call information from a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal having an acceleration sensor and a direction sensor which detects a particular direction on a horizontal plane, the elevator system comprising:
- first processing circuitry configured to specify a route on which the mobile terminal has moved on the horizontal plane on the basis of at least one of the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor and the direction detected by the direction sensor;
- the first processing circuitry is configured to calculate an angle-related index as a part of a feature quantity of the specified route, the angle-related index being calculated using a vector representing an element or elements of the route and a vector connecting a position of a point on the element or elements of the route and a boarding position;
- the first processing circuitry is configured to determine whether the specified route is a boarding route for boarding a car on the basis of the feature quantity;
- and
- the first processing circuitry is configured to transmit the call information in response to determining that the specified route is the boarding route;
- and
- second processing circuitry configured to register a call on the basis of the call information.
An elevator system, including a group controller which controls a plurality of elevator devices as a group in response to call information from a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal having an acceleration sensor and a direction sensor which detects a particular direction on a horizontal plane, the elevator system comprising:
- a first processor and first memory configured to specify a route on which the mobile terminal has moved on the horizontal plane on the basis of at least one of the acceleration detected by the acceleration sensor and the direction detected by the direction sensor;
- the first processor and first memory are configured to calculate an angle-related index as a part of a feature quantity of the specified route, the angle-related index being calculated using a vector representing an element or elements of the route and a vector connecting a position of a point on the element or elements of the route and a boarding position;
- the first processor and first memory are configured to determine whether the specified route is a boarding route for boarding a car on the basis of the feature quantity;
- the first processor and first memory are configured to transmit the call information in response to determining that the specified route is the boarding route;
- and
- a second processor and second memory configured to register a call on the basis of the call information.
