Abstract:
The invention relates to an elevator system comprising an elevator car which has two car doors with electrically controllable door elements. A first car door is arranged on a first car wall and comprises a first electrically controllable door element. A second car door is arranged on a second car wall and comprises a second electrically controllable door element. The first door element and the second door element each have at least two visual permeability states, wherein a first visual permeability state allows a passenger to see through the door element and wherein a second visual permeability state obstructs a passenger's view through the door element. An elevator controller determines a car door to be opened and controls the door element of the car door to open in accordance with the first visual permeability state to allow viewing through the door element of the car door to be opened.
Abstract:
A lift system for protecting the privacy of passengers. The lift system having a lift car that can be moved between floors of a building. The lift car having a video camera arranged in the lift car. The video camera being a part of a video system that also includes a video monitor for displaying information relating to the interior of the lift car. A video control device is communicatively connected to and controls the video system in a selective manner according to one of several operating modes. The several operating modes include a first operating mode in which the video system is deactivated or activation is blocked, so that the video system remains in an inactive state, if a passenger asks for the video system to be deactivated. When in the first operating mode the video system remains in the inactive state for as long as the passenger is in the lift car.
Abstract:
A lift system comprises a call input device and at least one touchscreen for inputting a call for a lift. The touchscreen has at least one functional identifier. When a functional identifier is touched, at least one input signal is generated. The call input device converts into a special input mode for a time-specific or location-specific generation of several input signals.
Abstract:
An entrance control system for a car park, in which entry is regulated by a barrier comprises an image processing device for determining a character string on a vehicle number plate and a reader for reading a credential. The credential is assigned to a user of the vehicle and has a feature identifying the user. A control unit of the entrance control system is coupled for communication purposes to the image processing device and the reader coupled. The control unit determines whether the feature identifying the user is present in a user database, and associates the determined character string with the feature identifying the user when the feature identifying the user is present in the user database, in order thus to register the number plate of the vehicle as belonging to the user.

Abstract:
In an elevator system using multiple-deck elevator cars (130, 132), an elevator passenger (154) travels between a floor in a first zone (170) in a building (120) and a floor in a second zone (172) in the building (120). The passenger (154) travels first from one of the zones (170, 172) to a ground floor lobby (100, 101). Within a given amount of time after arriving at the lobby (100, 101), the identified passenger (154) is allowed to place an elevator call for an elevator traveling to the other zone (170, 172). Even if the call is for a destination floor not usually served from the particular ground floor lobby (100, 101), the passenger (154) is allowed to travel to the destination floor as requested.
Abstract:
During an evacuation situation in a building equipped with an elevator system, in which building a plurality of fixed point markers are arranged at specified locations, a sequence of floors (L1, L2, L3) to be evacuated according to which the elevator system services the floors (L1, L2, L3) is determined. The sequence depends on the current traffic situations on the floors (L1, L2, L3). The traffic situation is, in turn, based on the instantaneous positions of the mobile devices. These positions are each determined in each case when a mobile device, by means of data received from a first fixed point marker, accesses a database in which the data is linked to a site of the first fixed point marker.
Abstract:
Using a position detection device, a position of a user in a building area outside of an elevator system is detected. It is determined, after the user has entered an elevator car, that the user is not authorized to travel to a destination floor designated by a destination for the user. As a result of the determination, the elevator car is moved to an area other than the destination floor.
Abstract:
Using a position detection device, a position of a person in a building area outside of an elevator system is detected. It is determined that the person has not actuated a destination call for the elevator system within a preset period of time. As a result of the determination, a security measure is activated.
Abstract:
An elevator installation has an elevator car that is moved in an elevator shaft between floors of a building under control of an elevator controller. The car has a first car door on a first car wall and a second car door on a second car wall. A first group of shaft doors is arranged in public zones of the building and a second group of shaft doors is arranged in non-public zones of the building. The elevator controller has a first operating mode in which the public zones are served; accordingly, only the first car door and the shaft doors for the public zones are actuated. In a second operating mode, the non-public zones are served, and accordingly only the second car door and the shaft doors for the non-public zones are activated.
