Description

Elevator service providing method and device based on indoor positioning and electronic equipment

Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to an elevator service providing method and device based on indoor positioning, a computer readable storage medium and electronic equipment.

Background

With the increasing number of high-rise buildings, elevators have become indispensable supporting facilities for the high-rise buildings. The traditional elevator riding usually depends on a user to manually check an elevator screen, and then whether the elevator arrives is determined, and the inquiry and reservation service of the elevator can not be provided for the user, so that the behavior of the user riding the elevator lacks effective guidance, and the elevator riding efficiency of the user and the utilization efficiency of the elevator are low.

In recent years, in order to solve the problem of improving the elevator taking efficiency during the peak time of commute, a scheme of positioning and reserving an elevator in advance through a user terminal appears in the industry. However, in the current solutions, positioning is realized through a GPS, and accurate positioning of the floor where the user is located often cannot be realized indoors, so that an optimal elevator cannot be recommended for the user based on the distance. In addition, the reservation scheme also ignores the inquiry requirement of the user after reserving the elevator, so that efficient guidance cannot be provided for the user to take the elevator.

The above problems cause that the current elevator reservation service can not well improve the elevator riding efficiency of users and the utilization efficiency of elevators, and can even lead to the efficiency backing up due to the inaccuracy of information in some cases.

For example, the electronic device may implement the steps shown in fig. 4 to 7.

In order to solve the problems of low elevator riding efficiency of users and low utilization efficiency of elevators in the conventional elevator service, the invention provides an elevator service providing scheme based on indoor positioning, which is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 4 is a flow chart illustrating a method of providing elevator service based on indoor positioning according to an exemplary embodiment. The method of this embodiment may be performed by a terminal device, as shown in fig. 4, and includes steps 410-430.

In step 410, the terminal responds to the service starting operation of the user and acquires the indoor positioning information sent by the elevator.

Unlike conventional elevator service, which relies primarily on positioning information (e.g., GPS information) reported by a terminal to determine the location of the terminal, embodiments of the present invention determine the location of the terminal (i.e., the user) based on indoor positioning information sent by the elevator.

In one embodiment, each elevator where the user is served by an elevator is provided with an indoor positioning device, such as a Beacon device. When the terminal receives the service starting operation of the user, the terminal can trigger and receive the positioning instruction sent by the Beacon equipment, and the distance between the terminal and the Beacon equipment (namely the elevator) is calculated through the positioning instruction.

In one embodiment, the service starting operation can be that the user clicks and opens an elevator reservation program (App) on the terminal, or the user selects and opens an applet for making an elevator reservation in the social software.

As shown in fig. 4, in step 420, when it is determined that the location satisfies the preset condition according to the indoor positioning information, the terminal sends the indoor positioning information to a server connected to the elevator lan.

The distance between a user and an elevator is not judged in the traditional elevator service, and the influence caused by the fact that a large number of users make elevator reservations when the users are far away from an elevator area is not considered. In this way, during the peak of commuting, the user congested near the elevator area cannot make an appointment, and the user far away from the elevator area cannot approach the elevator even if the elevator is appointed, so that the elevator taking efficiency of the user and the elevator utilization efficiency are both low.

Aiming at the problem, the embodiment of the invention determines whether the position of the user meets the preset condition based on the indoor positioning information, and triggers the subsequent elevator appointment step only when the preset condition is met, so that the planning utilization problem of elevator resources is converged in the preset range near the elevator, the utilization rate of the elevator is improved, and the elevator resources are saved.

As described above, in one embodiment, the indoor positioning information includes, for example, beacon information transmitted by Beacon devices installed on elevators. Accordingly, in this step, the terminal may determine whether the distance between the terminal and one or more elevators is within a preset range (e.g., 10 meters) according to the received Beacon information.

And if the terminal judges that the distance between the user and one or more elevators is within a preset range, triggering an elevator appointment step, and further sending the indoor positioning information to a server connected with an elevator local area network.

If, on the other hand, the terminal determines that the distance between the user and one or more elevators is outside the preset range, the current elevator reservation step is aborted and a message is returned that the reservation failed (e.g., "no elevator available nearby" is displayed on the terminal).

As shown in fig. 4, in step 430, the terminal receives the elevator service information fed back by the server according to the indoor positioning information.

After receiving the indoor positioning information from the terminal, the server can inquire the corresponding elevator state information in the elevator local area network according to the indoor positioning information and feed back the elevator service information according to the inquiry result.

As described above, in one embodiment, the indoor location information includes, for example, beacon information transmitted by Beacon devices installed on the elevator, and the Beacon information may carry a Device universally unique identifier (Device UUID) customized in the elevator local area network. Correspondingly, the server can determine the elevator from which the information originates according to the Device UUID in the Beacon information forwarded by the terminal in the step.

In one embodiment, one or more status sensors, including but not limited to load sensors, for example, may be provided on the elevator in addition to the indoor positioning devices. After the server determines the elevator corresponding to the Beacon information, the server may acquire status information, such as but not limited to load information, from the corresponding elevator based on a preset communication interface, and determine whether the elevator is in a reservable state according to the status information.

As an example, according to the inquired elevator state information, when the difference between the current load and the rated load of the elevator is judged to be less than the preset threshold, the server can determine that the elevator cannot be reserved; otherwise, if the difference between the current load and the rated load of the elevator exceeds the preset threshold value, the server can determine that the elevator can be reserved.

As another example, the server may determine that the elevator is not bookable upon judging that the sum of the number of persons already booked and the number of persons currently in the elevator has reached the upper limit of the number of persons loaded in the elevator, based on the inquired elevator status information; otherwise, if the sum of the number of people who have reserved and the number of people in the current elevator is still smaller than the upper limit of the number of people carried by the elevator, the server can determine that the elevator can be reserved.

Next, as described above, the terminal determines that the distance from the user meeting the preset condition may be one or more elevators in step 420. Accordingly, the server can determine whether one or more elevators meet the preset condition according to the received indoor positioning information.

As an example, in the case of determining that the elevator is an elevator, the server can directly inquire the state information of the corresponding elevator, feed back the service information of the elevator according to the inquiry result, and feed back the reservation success information to the terminal when determining that the elevator can reserve, otherwise, feed back the reservation failure information.

As another example, in the case where it is determined that there are a plurality of elevators, the server may query the state information of the respective elevators in order of distance from the user. For example, the server can firstly inquire the state information of the elevator nearest to the user, and when the elevator can be reserved according to the inquiry result, the server feeds back reservation success information to the terminal; if the elevator can not be reserved, continuously inquiring the elevator state information which is next closest to the user; and repeating the steps until an elevator which can be reserved is found and reservation success information is fed back to the terminal, or reservation failure information is fed back to the terminal when all elevators are determined to be not reserved.

In summary, based on the elevator service providing scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, only the user whose position meets the preset condition can start the elevator service by adopting the indoor positioning technology, so that the elevator taking efficiency of the user and the utilization efficiency of the elevator are improved.

Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an elevator service providing method based on indoor positioning according to another exemplary embodiment. The method of this embodiment may be performed by a terminal device, as shown in fig. 5, and includes steps 510-540.

In step 510, the terminal responds to the service starting operation of the user, and obtains the floor information of the user and the indoor positioning information sent by the elevator.

Compared with the step 410 of the previous embodiment, in this step, in addition to the indoor positioning information sent by the elevator, user floor information can also be obtained.

In one embodiment, the user floor information includes at least one of a start floor and a destination floor. The starting floor can be used for being combined with indoor positioning information, so that the positioning accuracy of a user is further improved, and meanwhile, the starting floor can be used for determining the starting stop floor of a follow-up reservation elevator; the destination floor can be used to determine the final stopping floor of the subsequent reserved elevator; the combination of the starting floor and the destination floor can be used for determining the destination direction (e.g. up or down), and thus for determining the reserved elevator corresponding to the destination direction.

In one embodiment, both the start floor and the destination floor information may be from user input. As an example, when a user performs a service initiation operation, for example, when an elevator reservation App on a terminal is clicked on, or when a small program for performing an elevator reservation is selected and opened in social software, a start floor and/or a destination floor may be input according to a program prompt, so that the terminal may receive the start floor and/or the destination floor input by the user together according to the detected service initiation operation.

In another embodiment, the starting floor may also come from other indoor positioning devices. As an example, in addition to providing an indoor positioning device on an elevator, an indoor positioning device may be installed at an elevator hall position of each floor, so that the terminal may determine a starting floor where a user is located according to indoor positioning information received from the elevator hall positioning device. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the elevator may also be configured to receive the indoor positioning information sent by the elevator hall positioning device, and report the information to the server, so that the server monitors the current operating position of each elevator.

As shown in fig. 5, in step 520, when it is determined that the location satisfies the predetermined condition according to the indoor positioning information, the terminal sends the user floor information and the indoor positioning information to a server connected to the elevator lan.

Compared with step 420 of the foregoing embodiment, in this step, the terminal may also send the obtained user floor information to the server, in addition to forwarding the received indoor positioning information to the server.

In one embodiment, the terminal may send the user floor information to the server along with the indoor positioning information in step 520, although embodiments of the invention are not limited thereto.

For example, in the case where the user floor information includes a start floor and a destination floor, the terminal may transmit the user floor information together with the indoor positioning information to the server for the server to determine a reserved elevator that conforms to the target direction (up or down).

For another example, in a case where the user floor information includes only a start floor or only a destination floor, the terminal may send the user floor information to the server after receiving the reservation success information, so that the server determines a start stop floor or a final stop floor of the reserved elevator.

As shown in fig. 5, in step 530, the terminal receives elevator service information fed back by the server according to the indoor positioning information.

Compared with the step 430 of the previous embodiment, the server in this step can feed back the elevator service information in combination with the received user floor information in addition to the indoor positioning information.

For example, in the case where the user floor information from the terminal includes a start floor and a destination floor, it is determined whether the target direction of the user is an upward direction or a downward direction. Correspondingly, the server can firstly inquire corresponding elevator state information, such as but not limited to running direction information and load information, in the elevator local area network according to the indoor positioning information received at the same time, and further determine whether the running direction of the elevator accords with the target direction of the user.

As an example, according to the inquired elevator state information, when judging that the current elevator running directions which are away from the user and meet the preset conditions do not meet the target direction or the current loads exceed the preset threshold, the server can directly feed back reservation failure information to the terminal; when the elevator which meets the target direction and the load of which does not exceed the threshold value exists in the elevators which are at the current distance from the user and meet the preset condition, the elevator (only one elevator exists) or the elevator which is closest to the user (a plurality of elevators exist) can be determined as the reservation elevator, and reservation success information is fed back to the terminal.

As another example, the server may simultaneously carry the reason of the reservation failure, such as no elevator nearby, overweight or excessive people in the elevator, etc., in the reservation failure information fed back to the terminal.

Similarly, in one example, the server can simultaneously carry the information of the successfully reserved elevator, such as the corresponding elevator number, the current floor, the estimated arrival time and the like, in the information of the successfully reserved elevator fed back to the terminal.

In one embodiment, the terminal interface may include a page for displaying the reservation and elevator status information, so that when the reservation failure information, the reservation success information or the elevator information fed back by the server is received, the reservation and elevator status information may be displayed in a corresponding area of the page.

Continuing as shown in fig. 5, in step 540, in response to the reservation inquiring operation of the user, an inquiring request is initiated to the server based on the reservation success information, and elevator state information fed back by the server is received.

The terminal may further monitor the user's reservation inquiry operation when the elevator service information received in step 530 indicates that the elevator reservation was successful.

In this step, when it is determined that the reservation inquiry operation of the user is received, the terminal may initiate an inquiry request to the server based on the previously received reservation success information. For example, the reservation success information carries identification information of the reserved elevator, so that the terminal can further initiate a query request to the server based on the identification information.

In one embodiment, after receiving the query request from the terminal, the server can query the state information of the corresponding elevator according to the identification information carried in the query request, and feed back the state information to the terminal.

In one embodiment, the elevator status information herein includes, but is not limited to, any combination of the following: load information, number of passengers, elevator temperature, estimated arrival time, etc.

In one embodiment, the user can initiate subsequent operations, such as indicating to continue waiting operations or cancel reserved elevator operations, based on the queried elevator status information.

In this step 530, the terminal initiates an inquiry request in response to a reservation inquiry operation of the user, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

As an example, whether receiving a reservation inquiry request or not, the terminal may also initiate an inquiry request to the server at a preset period, so as to continuously update the state information of the reserved elevator in the terminal interface, thereby helping the user determine the subsequent operation.

As another example, the server may also actively push updated elevator state information to the terminal according to a preset period or when the elevator state changes, so that the terminal interface is convenient to refresh the state information of the reserved elevator, thereby helping the user determine the subsequent operation.

In summary, based on the elevator service providing scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, only the user whose position meets the preset condition can start the elevator service by adopting the indoor positioning technology, so that the elevator taking efficiency of the user and the utilization efficiency of the elevator are improved.

In addition, after the reservation is successful, the state information of the elevator is fed back based on the inquiry operation of the user, and the state of the reserved elevator can be timely updated to the user, so that the user is helped to determine the follow-up operation, and the elevator riding efficiency of the user and the utilization efficiency of the elevator are further improved.

Fig. 6 is a flow chart illustrating another method for providing elevator service based on indoor positioning according to an exemplary embodiment. The method of this embodiment may be executed by a server, and as shown in fig. 6, the method of this embodiment includes steps 610 to 630.

In step 610, the server receives the indoor positioning information transmitted by the terminal.

The server here may be an elevator server managing an elevator lan and may communicate with an external network, e.g. via a proxy server as shown in fig. 1. Accordingly, reception herein is not limited to direct communication with the terminal. Taking the system shown in fig. 1 as an example, the indoor positioning information sent by the terminal can be sent to the elevator server sequentially through the internet of things platform and the proxy server, so that the safety of communication is ensured.

As described above in the embodiment of fig. 4, as one example, each elevator that provides elevator service to a user has an indoor location device, such as a Beacon device, disposed thereon. When the terminal receives the service starting operation of the user, the terminal can trigger and receive the positioning instruction sent by the Beacon equipment, and the distance between the terminal and the Beacon equipment (namely the elevator) is calculated through the positioning instruction. And if the terminal judges that the distance between the user and one or more elevators is within a preset range, an elevator reservation step is triggered, and the indoor positioning information is further sent to a server connected with an elevator local area network.

In other words, the server receives the indoor positioning information sent by the terminal, and the indoor positioning information indicates that the terminal preliminarily determines that the elevator with the distance from the user within the preset range exists, so that the subsequent elevator reservation process can be triggered.

As shown in fig. 6, the server determines a corresponding elevator in the elevator local area network based on the indoor positioning information in step 620.

In one embodiment, the indoor positioning information sent by each elevator carries the corresponding global unique identification, so that the server receiving the indoor positioning information can determine the corresponding elevator conveniently.

In one embodiment, the indoor positioning information comprises Beacon information sent by Beacon equipment installed on an elevator, and the Beacon information can carry a Device UUID customized in an elevator local area network. Correspondingly, in the step, the server can determine the elevator from which the information comes according to the Device UUID in the received Beacon information.

In one embodiment, the server may also simultaneously determine the number of elevators based on the received indoor positioning information. For example, if the terminal determines that the distances between the user and the elevators are within the preset range, indoor positioning information received from the elevators is correspondingly transmitted to the server. And when the server determines that a plurality of different identifications exist in the indoor positioning information through analyzing the information according to the received indoor positioning information, the server can correspondingly determine a plurality of eligible elevators.

As shown in fig. 6, the server feeds back the corresponding elevator service information to the terminal in step 630.

After the corresponding elevator is determined according to the indoor positioning information, in the step, the server can further inquire the state information of the elevator and feed back the service information of the elevator according to the inquiry result.

The feedback here is not limited to direct communication with the terminal. Taking the system shown in fig. 1 as an example, the indoor positioning information fed back by the server may be sequentially sent to the terminal through the proxy server and the internet of things platform, so as to ensure the security of communication.

In one embodiment, one or more status sensors, including but not limited to load sensors, for example, may be provided on the elevator in addition to the indoor positioning devices. After the server determines the elevator corresponding to the Beacon information, the server may acquire status information, such as but not limited to load information, from the corresponding elevator based on a preset communication interface, and determine whether the elevator is in a reservable state according to the status information.

As an example, according to the inquired elevator state information, when the difference between the current load and the rated load of the elevator is judged to be smaller than the preset threshold, the server can determine that the elevator can not be reserved; otherwise, if the difference between the current load and the rated load of the elevator exceeds the preset threshold value, the server can determine that the elevator can be reserved.

Subsequently, as described above, the server may determine whether one or more elevators meet the preset condition according to the received indoor positioning information in step 620.

As an example, in the case that it is determined that the elevator is an elevator, the server may directly inquire the state information of the corresponding elevator, and feed back the elevator service information according to the inquiry result, and when it is determined that the elevator can make a reservation, feed back the reservation success information to the terminal, otherwise, feed back the reservation failure information.

As another example, in the case where it is determined that there are a plurality of elevators, the server may query the state information of the respective elevators in order of distance from the user. For example, the server can firstly inquire the elevator state information closest to the user, and when the elevator can be reserved according to the inquiry result, the server feeds back reservation success information to the terminal; if the elevator can not be reserved, continuously inquiring the elevator state information which is next closest to the user; and repeating the steps until an elevator which can be reserved is found and reservation success information is fed back to the terminal, or reservation failure information is fed back to the terminal when all elevators are determined to be not reserved.

In summary, based on the elevator service providing scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, by adopting the indoor positioning technology, only the user whose position meets the preset condition can start the elevator service, so that the elevator riding efficiency of the user and the utilization efficiency of the elevator are improved.

Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating another method for providing elevator service based on indoor positioning according to another exemplary embodiment. The method of this embodiment may be performed by a server, as shown in fig. 7, and includes steps 710-740.

In step 710, the server receives indoor positioning information and user floor information transmitted by the terminal.

Compared with the step 610 of the foregoing embodiment, in this step, in addition to the indoor positioning information sent by the terminal, user floor information may also be obtained.

In one embodiment, the user floor information includes at least one of a start floor and a destination floor. The starting floor can be used for being combined with indoor positioning information, so that the positioning accuracy of a user is further improved, and meanwhile, the starting floor can be used for determining the starting stop floor of a follow-up reservation elevator; the destination floor can be used to determine the final stopping floor of the subsequently reserved elevator; the combination of the starting floor and the destination floor can be used for determining a destination direction, e.g. up or down, and thus for determining a reserved elevator corresponding to the destination direction.

As shown in fig. 7, the server determines a corresponding elevator in the elevator lan based on the indoor positioning information in step 720.

In one embodiment, the indoor positioning information sent by each elevator carries a corresponding global unique identifier, so that a server receiving the indoor positioning information can determine the corresponding elevator conveniently.

Step 720 may refer to step 620 of the previous embodiment, and is not described herein again.

As shown in fig. 7, the server feeds back the corresponding elevator service information to the terminal in step 730.

Compared with the step 730 of the previous embodiment, the server in this step can perform feedback of elevator service information by combining the received user floor information in addition to the indoor positioning information.

For example, in the case where the user floor information from the terminal includes a start floor and a destination floor, it is possible to determine whether the target direction of the user is an upward direction or a downward direction. Correspondingly, the server can firstly inquire corresponding elevator state information, such as but not limited to running direction information and load information, in the elevator local area network according to the indoor positioning information received at the same time, and further determine whether the running direction of the elevator accords with the target direction of the user.

As an example, according to the inquired elevator state information, when judging that the current elevator running directions which are away from the user and meet the preset conditions do not meet the target direction or the current loads exceed the preset threshold, the server can directly feed back reservation failure information to the terminal; when the elevator which meets the target direction and the load of which does not exceed the threshold value exists in the elevators which are at the current distance from the user and meet the preset condition, the elevator (only one elevator exists) or the elevator which is closest to the user (a plurality of elevators exist) can be determined as the reservation elevator, and reservation success information is fed back to the terminal.

As shown in fig. 7, in step 740, the server receives the query request sent by the terminal, queries the corresponding elevator status information based on the query request, and feeds back the elevator status information to the terminal according to the query result.

The server can further monitor the status information of the reserved elevator when the elevator service information sent in step 730 indicates that the elevator reservation was successful.

As an example, the terminal may initiate an inquiry request to the server based on the previously received reservation success information when determining that the reservation inquiry operation of the user is received. For example, the reservation success information carries identification information of the reserved elevator, so that the terminal can further initiate a query request to the server based on the identification information.

In one embodiment, after receiving the query request from the terminal, the server can query the state information of the corresponding elevator according to the identification information carried in the query request, and feed back the state information to the terminal.

In one embodiment, the elevator status information herein includes, but is not limited to, any combination of the following: load information, number of passengers, elevator temperature, estimated arrival time, etc.

In this step 730, the server performs a status query of the reserved elevator in response to the query request of the terminal, but the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

As an example, the server may actively push updated elevator state information to the terminal according to a preset period or when the elevator state changes, so as to facilitate the terminal interface to refresh the state information of the reserved elevator, thereby helping the user determine the subsequent operation.

It should be noted that, for the sake of simplicity, details of the steps already described in the embodiment of fig. 4 and 5 are omitted in the embodiment of fig. 6 and 7. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the description of the server in the embodiments of fig. 4 and 5 is applicable to the embodiments of fig. 6 and 7, and is herein incorporated by reference in the embodiments of fig. 6 and 7.

In summary, based on the elevator service providing scheme provided by the embodiment of the invention, only the user whose position meets the preset condition can start the elevator service by adopting the indoor positioning technology, so that the elevator taking efficiency of the user and the utilization efficiency of the elevator are improved.

In addition, the state information of the elevator is fed back based on the query operation of the user after the reservation is successful, and the state of the reserved elevator can be updated to the user in time, so that the user is helped to determine the follow-up operation, and the elevator taking efficiency of the user and the utilization efficiency of the elevator are further improved.
