Abstract
An elevator system includes a destination control system and an input system. An elevator car is called by an identification-device of a passenger being read by the input system. The destination control system is designed to recognize a signal-pattern that is produced by the passenger moving the respective identification device relative to parts of the input system. The destination control system is programmed to process different programs depending on the signal-pattern. Furthermore, a method for biasing elevator movements of such elevator systems is disclosed.
Claims17
A method for biasing elevator movements of an elevator system, the elevator system comprising a destination control system and an input system, said method comprising the steps of:
- calling an elevator car by an identification device of a passenger being read by the input system;
- recognizing a signal-pattern produced by a passenger moving a respective identification device relative to parts of the input system;
- and
- the destination control system processing different programs depending on said signal-pattern,
- wherein the signal-patterns comprise one or more signals,
- wherein a preferred signal-pattern comprises at least one short and/or at least one long signal, and
- wherein the signals are especially produced via motions of the identification device relative to an input device of the input system.
