Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Vermittlung von Information für Aufzugsbenutzer.The invention relates to a method for switching information for elevator users.

Ein solches Verfahren ist aus dem Dokument WO-A-00/59818 bekannt geworden. Dort wird Aufzugsbenutzern in einer Aufzugskabine Information vermittelt. Zur Vermittlung von Bild- und/oder Toninformation ist die Aufzugskabine mit einem Bildschirm und einem Lautsprecher ausgerüstet. Ausserdem sind Sensoren vorgesehen, die die Anwesenheit von Aufzugsbenutzern, die Fahrtrichtung der Aufzugskabine, die aktuelle Position der Aufzugskabine bzw. das aktuelle Stockwerk auf dem die Aufzugskabine steht, die Last in der Aufzugskabine und die Stockwerkwahl erfassen. Die zu vermittelnde Information wird aufgrund der oben genannten Betriebsparameter zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Information kann bestehen aus Inseraten, Werbung, Nachrichten, Bildern, bewegten Bildern, Photos, aktuellen Ereignissen, Hinweise auf Stockwerkbelegungen und Ereignisse auf bestimmten Stockwerken, Daten des Aufzuges, usw. und kann abhängig sein vom Stockwerk auf dem die Aufzugskabine steht, vom anzufahrenden Stockwerk, von der Fahrtrichtung usw..Such a method is from the document WO-A-00/59818 known. There, elevator users are given information in an elevator car. To convey image and / or sound information, the elevator car is equipped with a screen and a loudspeaker. In addition, sensors are provided which detect the presence of elevator users, the direction of travel of the elevator car, the current position of the elevator car or the current floor on which the elevator car is located, the load in the elevator car and the floor selection. The information to be provided is provided on the basis of the above-mentioned operating parameters. The information may consist of advertisements, advertisements, news, pictures, moving pictures, photos, current events, references to floor occupancy and events on certain floors, data of the elevator, etc. and may depend on the floor on which the elevator car is to be approached Floor, from the direction of travel, etc.

Die Schrift US 6073727 zeigt eine Informationverteilung in einem Aufzug, wobei ein Gebäudeserver im Gebäude des Aufzugs über das Internet mit einem Produktionsserver kommuniziert, um von dort stammende Werbung und Information auf Aufzugsanzeigeeinheiten auszugeben.The font US 6073727 shows an information distribution in an elevator, wherein a building server communicates in the building of the elevator via the Internet with a production server to output advertising and information originating therefrom on elevator display units.

Die Schrift US 5689094 zeigt eine Aufzugsanlage mit einer Erkennungsvorrichtung von auf Stockwerken abgegebenen Zielrufen, wobei die Erkennungsvorrichtung im Zugang zu den Aufzügen vor Stockwerktüren angebracht ist und selbstätig Daten von von Aufzugsbenutzern mitgeführten Informationsgebern liest. Die Daten können zur Identifikation eines Aufzugsbenutzers dienen und ermöglichen Zugriff auf in einem Speicher der Zielrufsteuerung abgelegte Information. Der Speicher beinhaltet individuelle Transportbedingungen und Angaben von Fahrgästen wie der Fahrgastname, Angaben über den benötigten Platzbedarf, Solofahrt, Vorzugsfahrt, verlängerte Türöffnungszeit, usw..The font US 5689094 shows an elevator system with a recognition device of floor-delivered destination calls, wherein the recognition device is mounted in access to the elevators in front of the landing doors and automatically reads data carried by elevator users information providers. The data may be used to identify an elevator user and allow access to information stored in a memory of the destination call controller. The storage includes individual transport conditions and information from passengers such as the passenger name, information about the required space, solo travel, preferential journey, extended door opening time, etc ..

Ein Nachteil der aus WO-A-00/59818 bekannten Einrichtung liegt darin, dass bei gut besetzter Aufzugskabine nicht jeder Aufzugsbenutzer die Information mitkriegen kann, weil beispielsweise die Sicht auf den Bildschirm verdeckt ist oder weil sich mehrere Aufzugsbenutzer unterhalten und den Ton überstimmen. Ausserdem ist es schwierig, bei gut besetzter Aufzugskabine die für die Mehrheit der Aufzugsbenutzer optimale Auswahl an Information zu treffen.A disadvantage of dating WO-A-00/59818 known device is that in well-staffed elevator car not every elevator user can mitkriegen the information because, for example, the view is hidden on the screen or because several elevator users talk and override the sound. In addition, it is difficult to make the best choice of information for the majority of elevator users in a well-filled elevator car.

Hier will die Erfindung Abhilfe schaffen. Die Erfindung, wie sie in Anspruch 1 gekennzeichnet ist, löst die Aufgabe, die Nachteile der bekannten Einrichtung zu vermeiden und ein Verfahren anzugeben, das Rücksicht nimmt auf die Informationswünsche der Aufzugsbenutzer.The invention aims to remedy this situation. The invention, as characterized in claim 1 solves the problem of avoiding the disadvantages of the known device and to provide a method that takes into account the information requests of the elevator users.

Die durch die Erfindung erreichten Vorteile sind im wesentlichen darin zu sehen, dass die Information wirksamer eingesetzt werden kann, indem jeder Aufzugsbenutzer individuell bedient werden kann. Ausserdem können Einrichtungen einer Aufzugsanlage mit Zielrufsteuerung für die Informationsvermittlung verwendet werden. Die Information kann dem Aufzugsbenutzer bereits vor dem Betreten der Aufzugskabine vermittelt werden. Durch die frühzeitige Vermittlung von die Aufzugsbenutzung betreffender Information kann der Aufzugsbenutzer bei der Aufzugsbedienung bzw. der Aufzugsbenutzung unterstützt werden und die Aufzugsanlage effizienter genutzt werden. Mit der persönlichen Informationsvermittlung kann den Bedürfnissen eines jeden Aufzugsbenutzers Rechnung getragen werden.The advantages achieved by the invention are essentially to be seen in the fact that the information can be used more effectively by each elevator user can be operated individually. In addition, facilities of a lift system with destination call control can be used for the information transfer. The information can be communicated to the elevator user before entering the elevator car. By the early switching of information relating to the elevator, the elevator user can be assisted in the elevator operation or the elevator use and the elevator installation can be used more efficiently. Personal information can be used to meet the needs of every elevator user.

Anhand der beiliegenden Figur wird die vorliegende Erfindung näher erläutert.Reference to the accompanying figure, the present invention will be explained in more detail.

Es zeigt:
Fig. 1
den strukturellen Aufbau einer individuellen Vermittlung von Information für Aufzugsbenutzer.It shows:
Fig. 1
the structural structure of an individual switching of information for elevator users.

Untersuchungen haben ergeben, dass nicht die Aufzugskabine der bestgeeignete Ort zur Informationsvermittlung ist, sondern die Umgebung eines Aufzugseinganges. Bei Zielrufsteuerungen wird das Fahrziel auf dem Stockwerk der Aufzugssteuerung mitgeteilt. Der Fahrauftrag wird einer Aufzugskabine mit den günstigsten Fahrbedingungen zugeteilt und die den Fahrauftrag ausführende Aufzugskabine dem Aufzugsbenutzer mitgeteilt. Bis zum Betreten der Aufzugskabine bleibt genügend Zeit zur Informationsvermittlung.Investigations have shown that it is not the elevator car that is the most suitable place for conveying information, but the environment of an elevator entrance. In destination call controls, the destination is notified on the floor of the elevator control. The driving order is assigned to an elevator car with the most favorable driving conditions and the elevator car executing the driving task is communicated to the elevator user. Until entering the elevator car there is enough time to communicate information.

Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch die Struktur einer individuellen bzw. benutzerspezifischen Vermittlung von Information für Aufzugsbenutzer. Im Zentrum steht ein Gebäudeserver BUILDING SERVER, der als Datenverwalter agiert und an den unterschiedliche Datenquellen angeschlossen sind. Eine Identifikationseinheit IDENTIFICATION erfasst die persönlichen Daten eines Aufzugsbenutzers, die beispielsweise den Namen, Vornamen, Adresse, Stockwerk der Wohnung, Beruf, Status, Freizeitbeschäftigungen, Vorlieben oder andere persönliche Daten umfassen. Falls die Daten bereits bekannt sind, genügt der Name oder ein Identifikationscode des Aufzugsbenutzers. Der Aufzugsbenutzer kann berührungslos BY MEDIA oder interaktiv BY LEARNING identifiziert werden. Zur berührungslosen Identifikation ist beispielsweise ein Chip mit den persönlichen Daten notwendig, der vom Aufzugsbenutzer mitgeführt wird. Falls der Aufzugsbenutzer keinen Chip mit sich führt, werden ihm interaktiv auf einer Anzeigeeinheit beispielsweise mittels eines touch screen Fragen zu seiner Person nach obigem Muster gestellt, die er mittels des touch screen beantworten kann. Die Antworten werden laufend geprüft und mit bestehenden Daten verglichen. Falls Aufzugsbenutzer nicht vollständig identifiziert werden können, werden sie als Benutzer mit beschränktem Informationszugang registriert. Bei der Identifikation kann auch ein persönliches Informationsprofil erfasst werden, das Angaben über den Umfang der gewünschten Information umfasst, auf die der Aufzugsbenutzer zugreifen möchte. Wie weiter unten erläutert, kann der Aufzugsbenutzer sein Informationsprofil auch via Internet bekannt geben. Nicht vollständig identifizierte Aufzugsbenutzer erhalten ein Informationsprofil, das allgemeine Information umfasst. Die Identifikation des Aufzugsbenutzers und die Vermittlung der Information erfolgt auf einem Rechner mit selbständigem Programm, wobei der Rechner mit der Anzeigeeinrichtung (touch screen) in der Umgebung eines Aufzugseinganges angeordnet ist. Beim Hauptzugang oder bei Aufzugsgruppen sind je Stockwerk mehrere Rechner mit touch screen vorgesehen. Rechner mit Bildschirmen können auch in den Aufzugskabinen angeordnet sein. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, eine vor dem Aufzug angefangene "Geschichte" während der Aufzugsfahrt fortzusetzen. Sobald ein Aufzugsbenuzter identifiziert ist, nimmt der Rechner Verbindung auf mit dem Gebäudeserver und erhält aufgrund des persönlichen Informationsprofils die entsprechende Information. Fig. 1 schematically shows the structure of an individual or user-specific exchange of information for elevator users. At the center is a building server BUILDING SERVER, which acts as a data manager and to which different data sources are connected. An identification unit IDENTIFICATION collects the personal data of an elevator user, which include, for example, the name, first name, address, floor of the apartment, occupation, status, pastimes, preferences or other personal data. If the data is already known, the name or an identification code of the elevator user is sufficient. The elevator user can be identified without contact BY MEDIA or interactively BY LEARNING. For non-contact identification, for example, a chip with the personal data is necessary, which is carried by the elevator user. If the elevator user does not carry a chip with him, he is interactively asked on a display unit, for example by means of a touch screen questions about his person according to the above pattern, which he can answer using the touch screen. The answers are constantly checked and compared with existing data. If Elevator users can not be fully identified, they are registered as a user with limited access to information. In the identification, a personal information profile can be detected, which includes information about the extent of the desired information that the elevator user would like to access. As explained below, the elevator user can also announce his information profile via the Internet. Incompletely identified elevator users receive an information profile that includes general information. The identification of the elevator user and the switching of the information takes place on a computer with an independent program, wherein the computer with the display device (touch screen) is arranged in the vicinity of an elevator entrance. For main access or elevator groups, several computers with touch screen are provided per floor. Computers with screens can also be arranged in the elevator cars. In this way it is possible to continue a "story" started in front of the elevator during the elevator ride. Once an elevator user is identified, the computer connects to the building server and receives the appropriate information based on the personal information profile.

Je nach Informationsprofil kann der jeweilige Aufzugsbenutzer via touch screen DISPLAY auf seine gewünschte Information zugreifen, wobei die Information Bild- und/oder Toninformation umfassen kann. Das Informationsangebot kann abhängig sein vom Stockwerk, von der Stockwerkbelegung, usw.. Gesamthaft steht beispielsweise folgende Information zur Verfügung: Elektronischer Briefkasten: Der Aufzugsbenutzer kann emails empfangen oder senden. Persönliche Verkehrsinformation: Der Wohnort des jeweiligen Aufzugsbenutzers ist dem System bekannt. Dementsprechend kann die Verkehrsinformation Angaben beispielsweise über Verkehrsstaus auf dem Weg zum Wohnort machen. Persönliche Geschäftsinformation: Einem Geschäftsmann können Daten über seine Firma zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Benutzerspezifische Werbung: Werbeinformation kann beispielsweise nach Kaufinteressen eines Aufzugsbenutzers vermittelt werden. Persönliche Interessen und Vorlieben: Dem Aufzugsbenutzer kann je nach persönlichem Interesse beispielsweise Nachrichten, Wetter, Sportresultate, Sportveranstaltungen, Börsendaten, Unterhaltung, Comics, usw. zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Aufzugsvertrauten Personen wie beispielsweise der Hausmeister kann aufzugsspezifische Information wie beispielsweise Störungsmeldungen zur Verfügung gestellt werden. Aufzugs-Fachpersonal kann mit dem Aufzug ELEVATOR kommunizieren und beispielsweise statistische Information STATISTICS und/oder Betriebsdaten OPERATING DATA abfragen oder bestimmte Aufzugsbefehle absetzen. Sicherheitspersonal kann beispielsweise Bilder einer oder mehrerer Überwachungskameras CAMERA einsehen. Falls der Aufzugsbenutzer weitere Informationswünsche hat, kann er sein Informationsprofil über die Schnittstelle PASSENGER FEEDBACK ergänzen oder verändern. Als Schnittstelle PASSENGER FEEDBACK kann der als Anzeigeeinheit dienende touch screen DISPLAY dienen. Der Aufzugsbenutzer kann auch interaktiv mit Information bedient werden, wobei weitere Information aufgrund eines Frage/Antwort Ergebnisses zur Verfügung gestellt wird.Depending on the information profile, the respective elevator user can access his desired information via touchscreen DISPLAY, wherein the information can include image and / or sound information. The information offered may depend on the floor, the floor occupancy, etc. In total, for example, the following information is available: Electronic mailbox: The elevator user can receive or send emails. personal Traffic information: The residence of the respective elevator user is known to the system. Accordingly, the traffic information can make information about, for example, congestion on the way to the place of residence. Personal Business Information: A business person can be provided with data about his company. User-specific advertising: Advertising information can be conveyed, for example, according to the purchase interests of an elevator user. Personal interests and preferences: Depending on personal interests, the lift user can, for example, be provided with news, weather, sports results, sporting events, stock market data, entertainment, comics, etc. Elevator entrusted persons such as the janitor may be provided with lift-specific information such as fault reports. Lift specialists can communicate with the elevator ELEVATOR and, for example, query statistical information STATISTICS and / or operating data OPERATING DATA or issue specific elevator commands.
