Abstract
A touchless interface device utilizing a plurality of infrared beams is disclosed along with its method of use. By using beams of light to detect the position of a user's hand, the touchless elevator call button selection device allows the user to interface with the elevator control system without physically coming into contact with the elevator control system.
Claims6
A touchless interface device, for use with an elevator call button system, the elevator call button system having at least one of call button, the device comprising:
- a sensor module comprising at least one sensor, each sensor having;
- an emitter configured to outwardly emit at least one infrared beam;
- and
- a receiver,
- wherein a variable indexing point is determined by an interruption in any of the at least one infrared beams;
- and
- a sensor control system comprising a control board, the control board having a first memory and a first processor;
- wherein the first memory is configured to receive and store an electronic file containing a spatial configuration of the at least one of call button,
- wherein the first memory contains computer-readable instructions for implementing a mapping scheme correlating the spatial configuration to the variable indexing point of the at least one sensor,
- wherein the first processor is configured to execute the contents of the first memory.
