Definitions

  • the elevator system allows to save a lot of time and reduces the number of wrong entries into the elevator system when dialling the floor whereto the elevator should move, normally.
  • an exiting of the short range device out of the elevator cabin is detected by detecting a person and/or goods carrying the short range device exiting the elevator cabin.
  • the exiting of a person and/or goods can be detected technically easily and reliably. Normally, this ensures that the shaft door at the second floor as well as the door of the elevator cabin can be opened until the person and/or the goods have exited the elevator cabin. This increases the security of the operation of the elevator system, generally.
  • the call for moving the elevator cabin to the first floor is generated only if the short range device has a registered identification number stored in a database and if the first floor is saved in connection with the short range device in the database.
  • calling the elevator cabin via the short range device is only possible at floors which are stored in connection with/linked with the short range device in the database. This enhances the security of the usage of the elevator system, normally.
  • the method further comprises the following step: inputting identification numbers of short range devices and a corresponding floor or corresponding floors into the database. This ensures that the database can amended technically easily.
  • the elevator system further comprises a weight sensor and/or an infrared sensor for detecting the entering and/or exiting of a person and/or goods carrying the short range device the elevator cabin.
  • a weight sensor and/or an infrared sensor for detecting the entering and/or exiting of a person and/or goods carrying the short range device the elevator cabin.
  • control unit is a single-board-computer.
  • One advantage thereof is, generally, that the elevator system can be very low-priced.
  • the control unit is connected with a database.
  • the database stores the identification number of short range devices.
  • the short range device 20 communicates wireless over a short distance or range with the control unit 30.
  • the short range device 20 can be a device communicating via Bluetooth, radio-frequency identification (RFID) etc. among others.
  • the short range device 20 can be an active or a passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) device.
  • the control unit 30 needs only limited computational power and limited random access memory, since the computing done is quite simple and the information to be stored is very limited.
  • the control unit 30 can be a single-board-computer.
  • the single board-computer can be a Raspberry Pi manufactured/distributed by the Raspberry Pi Foundation, United Kingdom or a C.H.I.P. manufactured/distributed by Next Thing Company, Oakland, California.
  • the control unit 30 can be an embedded system.
  • the elevator system 1 is suited for low-rise to mid-rise buildings.
  • the number of floors can be 50, 30, 20, 15 floors or below 12 floors, e.g., 10 or 8 floors.
  • the elevator system 1 is suited for residential buildings.
  • the short range device 20 is registered in the elevator system 1 by inputting/registering the (unique) identification numbers of the short range devices in a database. Also, the floor where the resident lives or where the visitor wants to go with the short range device 20 is stored in the database. Each person 15 carries a (registered) short range device 20 to use the elevator system 1.
  • the short range device 20 can be the mobile phone of the person 15.
  • a call to the elevator cabin 10 of the elevator system 1 is generated to bring/move the elevator cabin 10 to the floor where the short range device 20 with the person 15 /goods is at.
  • This floor will be called “first floor” in the following (nota bene that the "first floor” is normally not the ground floor/street level of the building).
  • the door or doors of the elevator are opened. Furthermore, an arrival information notice can be send to the short range device 20.
  • the person 15 and/or goods with the short range device 20 enters the elevator cabin 10.
  • the entering of the person 15 and/or goods can be detected with a weight sensor 40 which detects an increase in weight of the elevator cabin 10 and its contents.
  • a motion sensor and/or an infrared sensor can detect the entering of the person 15 and/or goods with the short range device 20.
  • the database comprises the destination floors for each identification number of a short range device 20. For each identification number one destination floor or two floors is/are stored in the database. As soon as the short range device 20 has been identified and, thus, the person 15 carrying the short range device 20, the destination floor is looked up in the database. This information can be used for controlling the movement of the elevator cabin 10 and/or elevator cabins 10, in particular when the elevator is in use or used by/for somebody else.
  • the elevator cabin 10 is moved to the destination floor which is stored for that particular short range device 20 in the database. No entering of the destination floor via the short range device 20 (e.g., an app on a mobile phone as short range device 20) and/or a pad is necessary. Thus, no touching of any surface of the elevator is necessary when using the elevator, so-called "hands free" use.
  • the short range device 20 e.g., an app on a mobile phone as short range device 20
  • a pad e.g., a pad
  • the elevator cabin 10 can be controlled so that the elevator cabin 10 is moved to other floors before it is moved to the destination floor of that short range device 20 while the short range device 20 is inside of the elevator cabin 10 in the framework of an efficient elevator control as it is known in the state of the art. This is relevant when the elevator is in use for other users.
  • each short range device 20 can have a priority saved in the database. Calls by short ranges devices with a higher priority are handled preferably over calls by short ranges devices with a lower priority.
  • the tenant wants to ride to another floor from the ground floor or from the floor where they live.
  • the tenant wants to go to the basement or visit another tenant at another floor.
  • the person 15 either can use another short range device 20 which has another destination floor, e.g., basement, or they can enter the destination floor manually.
  • the users of the elevator system 1 can have different short range devices 20.
  • the user can have one regular short range device 20 for his/her way in/out of the building and one addition short range device 20 for going from his/her apartment to the basement and back.
  • the user should carry only one (active) short range device 20 registered in the database with him/her.
  • the other device should be left in the apartment or should be switched off.
  • control unit 30 can either assume that
  • the short range device 20 can be the mobile phone of the visitor which is registered in the database.
  • the short range device 20 can be installed at the wheelchair of a disabled person.
  • the short range device 20 can be part of the wheelchair.
  • the short range device 20 can be exchangeable and/or can be reprogrammable.
  • the identification number of the short range device 20 can be reprogrammable/changeable.
  • the elevator system is especially suited for a home for the handicapped.
  • a registered short range device 20 is detected at/near an elevator at a floor which is one of the two floors stored/saved in the database, it is assumed that the destination floor is the other of the two floors stored/saved in the database.
  • the described registration via an initial ride is only possible if the elevator system and/or the short range communication device 35 at the first floor has been set into a registration mode. Only then, the newly detected (not yet registered) short range device 20 with the two corresponding floors is stored in the database.
