Abstract
A method for monitoring an elevator controls an image capturing device located inside the elevator to capture a current image inside the elevator when a malfunction of the elevator is detected by one or more monitor devices. The method further analyzes the current image to determines if there are passengers trapped inside the elevator. In addition, the method generates a rescue message and sends the rescue message to an emergency response department through a network upon the condition that there are passengers trapped inside the elevator.
Claims18
An electronic device for monitoring an elevator, the electronic device comprising:
- a least one processor;
- a storage system;
- and
- one or more programs stored in the storage system and executable by the at least one processor, the one or more programs comprising:
- a capturing module operable to control an image capturing device located inside the elevator to capture a current image inside the elevator when a malfunction of the elevator is detected by one or more monitor devices connected to the elevator;
- an analysis module operable to analyze the current image to determine if there are passengers trapped inside the elevator;
- and
- a sending module operable to generate a rescue message and send the rescue message to an emergency response department upon the condition that there are passengers trapped inside the elevator.
A method for monitoring an elevator using an electronic device, the method comprising:
- monitoring the elevator in real time using one or more monitor devices electronically connected to the elevator;
- controlling an image capturing device located inside the elevator to capture a current image inside the elevator when a malfunction of the elevator is detected by the one or more monitor devices;
- analyzing the current image to determine if there are passengers trapped inside the elevator;
- and
- generating a rescue message and sending the rescue message to an emergency response department upon the condition that there are passengers trapped inside the elevator.
A storage medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by a least one processor of an electronic device, causes the electronic device to perform a method for monitoring an elevator, the method comprising:
- monitoring the elevator in real time using one or more monitor devices electronically connected to the elevator;
- controlling an image capturing device located inside the elevator to capture a current image inside the elevator when a malfunction of the elevator is detected by the one or more monitor devices;
- analyzing the current image to determine if there are passengers trapped inside the elevator;
- and
- generating a rescue message and sending the rescue message to an emergency response department upon the condition that there are passengers trapped inside the elevator.
