    摘要: A mobile device and a method are used for monitoring a safety chain of an elevator, wherein the safety chain consists of more than one member that are connected electrically in series. The mobile device includes a signal sender, a signal receiver, a timer and a processor and is adapted to connect to an end of the safety chain. The signal sender generates and feeds a first pulse signal into the safety chain, the signal receiver detects a second pulse signal coming out of the safety chain when the safety chain is electrically interrupted, the timer measures the time period between the feeding the first pulse signal and the detecting the second pulse signal, and the processor identifies a member with regard to the time period that has electrically interrupted the safety chain.

    摘要: The invention relates to an elevator system for observing a misoperation. The elevator system comprises an observation unit and a processing unit. The observation unit is configured to obtain data representing movement of an elevator car during a predetermined time interval and transmit the obtained data to the processing unit. The processing unit is configured to receive and store the data representing the movement of the elevator car, generate at least one statistical parameter from the received data, compare the at least one generated statistical parameter to at least one previously stored statistical parameter of the corresponding time interval, and generate a signal indicating a misoperation in response to a detection that the at least one generated statistical parameter deviates from the corresponding previously stored statistical parameter over a predetermined limit. The invention also relates to a method for observing a misoperation.

    摘要: The present invention relates to maintenance of a passenger transport system. An apparatus for maintaining a passenger transport system according to the present invention includes a wireless beacon and a personal mobile terminal. The wireless beacon is mounted substantially at a registration entrance for entering the passenger transport system to perform a maintenance operation and configured to broadcast a wireless signal to the surrounding area. The personal mobile terminal is carried by the maintenance operator and configured to sense the wireless signal when the maintenance operator approaches the wireless beacon. At least one of the wireless beacon and the personal mobile terminal is configured to automatically generate and send, based on successful sensing of the wireless signal by the personal mobile terminal, maintenance register information indicating that the corresponding maintenance operator has checked into a maintenance operation process. The present invention can significantly simplify the check-in operation.
