A user input device (202, 302, 402), for providing an input to an elevator controller (115), comprising:
- a plurality of input regions (204A-204F, 304A-304F, 404A-404L) each of which correspond to a different input command;
- and
- a single touchless sensor (216, 316A, 416) arranged to detect the presence of an object in any of the plurality of input regions (204A-204F, 304A-304F, 404A-404L).
A user input device (502, 602), for providing an input to an elevator controller, comprising;
- a faceplate (508, 608) which comprises at least one aperture (520) therein which allows access to a corresponding input region (504A-504F, 604A, 604F), located behind the aperture (502), which corresponds to an input command;
- and
- a touchless sensor (516A-516F, 616A-616F) arranged behind the faceplate (608), spaced from the aperture (520) and configured to detect the presence of an object in the input region (504A-504F, 604A, 604F).
