Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for operating a car operating panel for an elevator and to a car operating panel configured for performing such method.
  • the invention furthermore relates to a computer program product and to a computer readable medium.
  • a car operating panel In order to be able to indicate a passenger's intended destination floor, a car operating panel (COP) is generally provided within the elevator car.
  • the COP comprises a human-machine interface via which a passenger may input the destination floor to which he wants to be transported.
  • Various types of human-machine interfaces may be applied in COPs.
  • Such an elevator comprises an elevator car, a speaker for broadcasting a public address sound in the car, and a control device for controlling the car and the public address
  • the control device includes: a passenger number sound volume converter for outputting a sound volume signal corresponding to the number of passengers in the car; and a sound volume adjustment part for selecting a sound volume corresponding to the sound volume signal to broadcast a public address sound in the car from the speaker.
  • a method for operating a car operating panel in an elevator car for an elevator comprises the following steps: (i) receiving a destination selection signal by actuating a push button of the car operating panel that indicating a passenger's request for transportation to a selected destination floor; (ii) detecting an occupation degree indicating a current occupation of the elevator car; and (iii) outputting an audible feedback stating the selected destination floor in case the occupation degree is higher than a predetermined occupation limit.
  • a car operating panel is generally used for enabling passengers to input their request to be transported to a destination floor.
  • a minimal feedback may be established by a push button of the COP being illuminated upon actuation thereof.
  • a minimal feedback may be issued by generating a simple sound or an audible "bing" issued upon actuation of a push button.
  • this feedback shall state the selected destination floor.
  • the audible feedback shall enable the passenger to derive an information about the destination floor requests actually received by the COP. This means that, depending on which destination selection signal is received by the COP, i.e. depending on for example which push button has been pressed at the COP, an individual audible feedback is issued by the COP.
  • audible feedback may not have to be outputted under all circumstances. For example, as long as only few people are inside the elevator car, each passenger may generally see the COP and may therefore visually observe whether or not the COP was actuated for indicating a specific floor selection. In such cases, no audible feedback might be needed and, as outputting such audible feedback might annoy at least some passenger's, outputting the audible feedback may be suppressed in such circumstances of low car occupation.
  • each passenger in the car may hear the audible feedback and may therefore know which destination floors have already been selected for example upon pressing push buttons by other passengers. Same is true for blind passengers.
  • the audible feedback may be outputted as a voice message.
  • Such voice message may be generated artificially, for example by a voice sound generator, and may include the information about the selected destination floor in a form of spoken words. Accordingly, the voice message may be easily understood by passengers.
  • the audible feedback comprises audible information about a floor identification of the selected destination floor.
  • the audible feedback may comprise an audible information indicating for example a number of the selected floor (e.g. "floor number 4 is selected”), a name of the selected floor (e.g. "lobby is selected”), a function of the selected floor (e.g. "restaurant level is selected", "conference level is selected”) or similar. Such information may be easily understood by passengers.
  • the audible feedback is outputted via a speaker of the COP.
  • COPs include one or more speakers integrated therein or connected thereto in order to for example enable communication between a passenger and a person being outside the elevator car, for example during emergency situations. Accordingly, the method proposed herein may be easily implemented by using such speaker. No additional hardware may be necessary.
  • the predetermined occupational limit is more than 50%, alternatively more than 60%, more than 70%, more than 80% or more than 90%, of an allowable maximum occupation of the elevator car.
  • the allowable maximum occupation of the elevator car may be a nominal weight admitted for the elevator car or a nominal number of passengers admitted for the elevator car. Accordingly, the audible feedback is outputted only when the elevator car is occupied to for example more than 50% of the admitted nominal weight or 50% of the admitted nominal number of passengers.
  • the occupation degree is detected based on a measured current load of the elevator car.
  • whether or not the predetermined occupational limit is exceeded such that the audible feedback is to be outputted upon receiving the destination selection signal is decided on measurement values representing the current load of the elevator car.
  • the load of the elevator car directly relates to the weight of the elevator car which, in most elevators, is continuously monitored.
  • the occupation degree may be detected based on a counted number of passengers in the elevator car.
  • provisions may be made in an elevator for counting the current number of passengers having entered the elevator car and the corresponding information may be used for deciding whether or not the predetermined occupational limit is exceeded.
  • the number of passengers may be determined for example based on information is from a camera system included in the elevator car, information from a light curtain at the car door, information from motion sensors, infrared sensors or other sensors, etc.
  • the car operating panel proposed herein may comprise a human machine interface, a speaker and a controller.
  • the human machine interface comprises a plurality of push buttons (5) and is configured for generating a destination selection signal in response to actuation of one of the push buttons (5) indicating a passenger's request for transportation to a selected destination floor.
  • the speaker is configured for outputting an audible feedback.
  • the controller is configured for receiving the generated destination selection signal and the occupation degree and for controlling the speaker such as to output an audible feedback stating the selected destination floor. Using such COP, an audible information may be given to passengers for informing about which destination floors are currently selected.
  • the car operating panel as proposed herein and the method for operating such COP may generally be implemented with COPs having conventional hardware.
  • no additional hardware has to be necessarily included in a COP in order to enable outputting of the audible feedback stating the selected destination floor.
  • COPs with conventional hardware may be modified by means of software such as to implement the idea proposed herein.
  • a third aspect of the invention relates to a computer program product comprising computer readable instructions which, when performed by a processor of the controller of a COP according to the second aspect of the invention, instruct the controller to perform the method according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the invention.
  • Such computer program product may be implemented in an arbitrary one of a variety of computer languages.
  • the computer program product may be adapted for addressing a speaker for outputting an audible feedback for example in the form of a voice message.
  • a computer readable medium comprising a computer program product according to an embodiment of the third aspect of the invention.
  • Such computer readable medium may be any medium on which computer readable instructions may be stored.
  • the computer readable medium may be a flash memory, a CD, a DVD, a ROM, a PROM, an EPROM, etc.
  • the computer readable medium may be any computer on which the computer program product is stored and which forms a server from which the computer program product may be downloaded, for example via a network such as the Internet.
  • Fig. 1 shows an elevator car with the car operating panel according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • Fig. 1 shows an elevator car 3 in which a car operating panel 1 according to the present invention is installed.
  • the COP 1 comprises a plurality of push buttons 5 serving as a human machine interface 11, a speaker 7 and a controller 9.
  • the controller 9 addresses the speaker 7 and controls the speaker such as to output an audible feedback stating the selected destination floor.
  • the audible feedback may be output as a voice message 13 indicating the floor identification of the selected destination floor. In the example shown, a voice message 13 indicating "fourth floor" is emitted.
  • Another advantage may be that, for example in a crowded car 3, a person, which may not reach out to the COP 1, may ask another person to actuate a desired push button 5 for destination floor selection and may then verify that the COP 1 has been correctly actuated upon hearing the audible feedback output by the COP 1.
  • the approach presented herein appears to be simple but may provide significant benefits with respect to improved traffic management, advantages for blind or handicapped people with low eye sight or lack of awareness or knowledge, improved customer satisfaction and/or increased life cycle of components. Furthermore, the approach presented herein may require no or only minor hardware modification of existing COPs but may mainly be implemented in software.
