Abstract: An exemplary elevator input device includes a passenger interface configured to allow a passenger to place a call to indicate a desired elevator service. The elevator input device includes a controller configured to interpret any passenger input regarding desired elevator service. The controller identifies which of a plurality of elevator cars will be able to provide the desired elevator service according to a predetermined criterion. The plurality of elevator cars considered by the controller includes every elevator car that is capable of serving the call. The controller is also configured to assign the call to the identified elevator car. With the input device controller assigning the call to an identified elevator car, the dispatching of elevator cars is distributed among controllers of input devices rather than being accomplished at a single group controller.

Abstract: An elevator system is provided with a remote hall call registering device by use of which an elevator passenger performs a hall call registration in a position at a prescribed distance from a hall. A moving time comparison device compares the predicted moving time Te of the elevator car with the predicted walking time Tw in the case where the floor on which a remote hall call registering device is installed is set as a parking floor. A standby operation go/no go determination device makes a determination as to whether or not to perform a standby operation based on the result of the comparison of the moving time comparison device, and carries out a standby operation after responses to all calls have been finished only in the case where the standby operation go/no go determination device made a determination to the effect that a standby operation should be performed.

Abstract: A system for controlling the elevators in an elevator system based on passenger presence. The elevator system includes a number of elevators (1A . . . 1H) wherein first sensor members (2, 2A . . . 2H), second sensor members and additional sensor members are arranged in a waiting area of each elevator (1A . . . 1H) on each floor (F, F1, F2, F3 . . . Fn). The first, second and additional sensor members are fitted to give information about the presence and number of passengers waiting to go either up or down for an elevator at least in the waiting area in question. A controller is provided for controlling the elevators. The controller receives information from the first, second and additional sensor members about the presence and number of passengers waiting for an elevator and to control the movement of the elevators of the elevator system utilizing the information received from the first, second and additional sensor members.

Abstract: An elevator group control apparatus performs operation control of a plurality of elevators by detecting a downward traffic flow ratio of traffic flows departing downward from floors higher than a prescribed main floor in the total traffic flow departing from one floor to another. If the downward traffic flow ratio is not less than a prescribed reference value, a standby mode for downward traffic flow is made effective, in which at least one elevator car is caused to be on standby on a floor higher than the main floor and at least one elevator car is caused to be on standby on the main floor.
