Abstract
A method and a system are provided for switching at least one electrical consumer in a building comprising an elevator system. The switched electrical consumer is, for example, a camera. The camera is activated if when using the elevator system the user does not actuate a building door within an ascertained route time, i.e. the user does not arrive at his/her destination. It is possible using an image recorded by the camera to establish whether the user is possibly in a dangerous situation.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- using an identification device, identifying a user;
- determining a starting point for a route for the user through a building;
- determining an end point for the route at a building door of the building;
- determining a route time for travelling from the starting point for the route to the end point for the route;
- determining that a sensor signal for the building door was not received before an expiration of the route time;
- and
- as a result of determining that the sensor signal for the building door was not received before the expiration of the route time, activating an electrical device positioned along the route.
4 more elements
A computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising:
- using an identification device, identifying a user;
- determining a starting point for a route for the user through a building;
- determining an end point for the route at a building door of the building;
- determining a route time for travelling from the starting point for the route to the end point for the route;
- determining that a sensor signal for the building door was not received before an expiration of the route time;
- and
- as a result of determining that the sensor signal for the building door was not received before the expiration of the route time, activating an electrical device positioned along the route.

A system, comprising:
- an identification device;
- a building door sensor for a building door in a building;
- an electrical device;
- and
- a control device, the control device being programmed to perform a method, the method comprising,
- using the identification device, identifying a user,
- determining a starting point for a route for the user through the building,
- determining an end point for the route at the building door,
- determining a route time for travelling from the starting point for the route to the end point for the route,
- determining that a sensor signal from the building door sensor was not received before an expiration of the route time, and
- as a result of determining that the sensor signal from the building door was not received before the expiration of the route time, activating the electrical device, the electrical device being positioned along the route.

A control device, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a method, the method comprising,
- using an identification device, identifying a user,
- determining a starting point for a route for the user through a building,
- determining an end point for the route at a building door of the building,
- determining a route time for travelling from the starting point for the route to the end point for the route,
- determining that a sensor signal for the building door was not received before an expiration of the route time, and
- as a result of determining that the sensor signal for the building door was not received before the expiration of the route time, activating an electrical device positioned along the route.
