Abstract
Embodiments are directed to receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a handwriting input comprising a selection of a destination floor associated with an elevator system, determining, by the computing device, that the handwriting input selection is recognizable, presenting, by the computing device, a message that requests confirmation that the input selection is interpreted correctly based on determining that the handwriting input selection is recognizable, receiving, by the computing device, a response to the message that confirms the input selection, and causing, by the computing device, the elevator system to provide access to the destination floor based on the response.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing device comprising a processor, a handwriting input comprising a selection of a destination floor associated with an elevator system;
- determining, by the computing device, that the handwriting input selection is recognizable;
- presenting, by the computing device, a message that requests confirmation that the input selection is interpreted correctly based on determining that the handwriting input selection is recognizable;
- receiving, by the computing device, a response to the message that confirms the input selection;
- and
- causing, by the computing device, the elevator system to provide access to the destination floor based on the response.
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:
- receive a handwriting input comprising a selection of a destination floor associated with an elevator system;
- determine that the handwriting input selection is recognizable;
- present a message that requests confirmation that the input selection is interpreted correctly based on determining that the handwriting input selection is recognizable;
- receive a response to the message that confirms the input selection;
- and
- cause the elevator system to provide access to the destination floor based on the response.
A system comprising:
- an elevator configured to convey passengers to a plurality of floors within a building, wherein at least one of the floors is a secured floor;
- and
- a processing device configured to:
- receive a handwriting input comprising a selection of a destination floor included in the plurality of floors;
- determine that the handwriting input selection is recognizable;
- present a message that requests confirmation that the input selection is interpreted correctly based on determining that the handwriting input selection is recognizable;
- receive a response to the message that confirms the input selection;
- determine that the handwriting input selection corresponds to a secured floor based on the received response;
- request an access credential based on determining that the handwriting input selection corresponds to a secured floor;
- receive an access credential based on the request for the access credential;
- determine that the received access credential matches a stored access credential within a threshold;
- and
- cause the elevator to provide access to the destination floor based on determining that the received access credential matches the stored access credential within the threshold.
