Abstract: A system and method for lobby crowd control dispatching in a multi-car ropeless lift (MCRL) system is provided. The method includes receiving, at a controller, a call request for a transport device in the lobby from a user using a destination device, generating, using a processor of the controller, a call assignment based on a crowd parameter, controlling, using the processor of the controller, the transport device based on the crowd parameter, and transmitting, from the controller, the call assignment to the user using the destination device. The system includes a transport device that arrives and departs from the lobby, a destination device that receives a call request from a user for the transport device in the lobby, and a controller that is communicatively connected to the transport device and the destination device.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method for initiating elevator service by entering an elevator call on a call input device having a plurality of graphical objects displayed on a graphical user interface is provided. The method includes the steps of selecting a first landing graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects, and selecting a second landing graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects. The method also includes selecting a third landing graphical object from the plurality of graphical objects. The method also includes creating an anticipated trip graphical object, the anticipated trip graphical object indicating a trip from the third landing to the first landing. The method also includes selecting the anticipated trip graphical object to initiate a hall call and floor call from the third landing to the first landing.

Abstract: A computer system can be configured to cause a mechanical action based on transient data stored on a user's mobile device. In some examples, the system includes a mobile device finder for receiving calendar information from a mobile device within a physical distance from an elevator system. The calendar information specifies a time and a place of an appointment. The system includes a calendar verifier for determining that the time of the appointment is within a time period from a current time and that the place of the appointment corresponds to a destination floor reachable by the elevator system. The system includes an elevator programmer for programming the elevator system with the destination floor so that, when a user carries the mobile device onto an elevator car of the elevator system, the elevator system controls the elevator car to take the user to the destination floor.
