Systems and methods for touchless elevator cab requests

A method for a touchless request for an elevator cab, the method comprising:

• receiving, by an elevator cab request module having a processor and a notification device and is positioned to be remote from the elevator controller, a unique identification from a user;
• determining, by the elevator cab request module, a current floor of the user based on a floor on which the unique identification was provided;
• accessing, by the elevator cab request module, a data storage device to determine at least one destination floor access permission based on the unique identification;
• determining, by the elevator cab request module, a landing to travel to based on the at least one destination floor access permission;
• sending, by the elevator cab request module, an elevator cab request command to an elevator controller to request the elevator cab to the current floor and to travel to the landing of a destination floor;
• acknowledging, by the elevator controller, the elevator cab request command and assigning the elevator cab;
• sending, by the elevator controller, an assigned elevator cab data that corresponds to the assigned elevator cab to the elevator cab request module;
• and
• generating, by the notification device, a notification displayed for the assigned elevator cab that is assigned to travel between the current floor and the landing by the elevator controller.

An elevator system for a touchless request for an elevator cab, the elevator system further including an elevator cab request module and an elevator controller, the elevator system comprising:

• the elevator cab request module including:
• a processor communicatively coupled to the elevator controller;
• a notification device communicatively coupled to the processor;
• a unique identifier device communicatively coupled to the processor;
• and
• a data storage device in communication with the processor and having one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the processor to:
• process a unique identification received from a user via the unique identifier device;
• determine a current floor of the user based on a floor on which the unique identification was provided;
• access the data storage device to determine a plurality of destination floor access permissions assigned to the unique identification;
• notify on the notification device a first destination floor choice of the plurality of destination floor access permissions assigned to the unique identification;
• determine whether the unique identification was received from the user via the unique identifier device a second time indicating the selection of the first destination floor choice;
• when determined that the unique identification was not received from the user via the unique identifier device the second time, notify on the notification device a second destination floor choice of the plurality of destination floor access permissions assigned to the unique identification;
• determine whether the unique identification was received from the user via the unique identifier device the second time indicating the selection of the second destination floor choice;
• when determined that the unique identification was not received from the user via the unique identifier device the second time, notify on the notification device an “N” destination floor choice of the plurality of destination floor access permissions assigned to the unique identification;
• determine whether the unique identification was received from the user via the unique identifier device the second time indicating the selection of the “N” destination floor choice;
• when determined that the unique identification was received from the user via the unique identifier device the second time indicating the selection of a destination floor selection from the plurality of destination floor access permissions, send a cab request command to the elevator controller to request the elevator cab to the current floor and to travel to the destination floor selection;
• and
• generate a notification for the elevator cab that is assigned by the elevator controller to travel between the current floor and the destination floor selection.
