    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for interchanging data between at least one sensor unit arranged in an elevator shaft of an elevator system and a monitoring unit of a service center which is locally remote from the elevator system, wherein an elevator car which moves vertically in the elevator shaft, include a first communication unit arranged at the elevator car. Data are transmitted from the at least one sensor unit to the first communication unit via a first communications network on the basis of the position of the elevator car and are stored by the first communication unit. The stored data are transmitted from the first communication unit to a second communication unit on the basis of at least one rule and are transmitted from the second communication unit to the monitoring unit via a second communications network.

    Abstract: A method and a device for detecting the presence of an object in an elevator car of an elevator system that has a control unit include a color temperature sensor. The color temperature sensor is integrated into the elevator car to acquire the color temperature of the light incident on the color temperature sensor during elevator operation, and an object present in the elevator car is detected by the control unit connected with the color temperature sensor by comparing the color temperature acquired during elevator operation with a previously acquired reference color temperature.

    Abstract: A method for the exchange of data between one unit of an elevator system and a monitoring unit of a service center locationally remote from the elevator system, wherein, via a first communication network, the one unit is connected with a communication unit arranged on, or in, an elevator car that travels vertically in an elevator hoistway, and wherein the data that are transmitted by the one unit are transmitted to the communication unit and stored there. A mobile-communication end-device brought into the elevator car by an elevator passenger is connected, via a second wireless communication network, with the communication unit and the stored data are transmitted by the communication unit to the end-device, and stored in the latter. When the elevator car is exited by the elevator passenger with the end-device, the stored data are transmitted from the end-device via a public mobile-communication network to the monitoring unit.

    Abstract: An elevator system includes a beacon adapted for broadcasting, when activated, a beacon signal to a mobile device carried by a user, a sensor device, and a controller adapted for selectively activating the beacon. A method for operating the elevator system includes capturing a capture of a user by the sensor device, the capture including capture data indicative of a user activity. The method further includes inferring, from the capture data, an intention data indicative of the user's intention to perform an elevator boarding, and, under the condition that the intention data indicates an intention of the user to perform an elevator boarding, activating the beacon to broadcast a beacon signal, and receiving, by the controller, an instruction signal sent by a mobile device upon having received the beacon signal.

    Abstract: A method for determining estimated real dimensions of an elevator car by: acquiring a virtual 2-dimensional map of the car based on data provided by a lidar sensor, the map representing reflection surfaces from which laser light emitted by the sensor is reflected; defining a rectangular starting area at a position located within the real dimensions of the car; successively extending the area by one pixel in each of four extension directions orthogonal to edges of the area, and when any pixel in one of the extension directions corresponds to one of the reflection surfaces in the map, stopping extending the area in this extension direction and successively extending the area by one pixel in each of the remaining extension directions the area is extended to a maximum in all the extension directions; and determining the fully extended rectangular area as the estimated real dimensions of the car.
