Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an elevator installation.
  • the invention relates to a control of an elevator installation.
  • Elevator installations typically have at least one cabin which can be moved between floors, and a car operating panel (COP) located in the cabin and a lobby operating panel (LOP) located outside the cabin, for example in a lobby.
  • COP car operating panel
  • LOP lobby operating panel
  • a user may enter requirements to instruct the elevator system, for example, to drive it to a desired floor with the car or to pick it up with the car on a floor.
  • the control panels By means of the control panels, other functions of the elevator system can be instructed.
  • the elevator system has a controller with which various functions within the elevator system can be controlled. For example, opening and closing, selecting and subsequently starting desired floors and the like are controlled. Security functions such as a locking of the elevator system or a start of positions within a hoistway, which may not be approached during normal operation or by unauthorized persons, are controlled. Also exclusive functions such as a start-up of certain floors, to which only authorized persons are to be granted access, or a locking instruction according to which the elevator is moved only on the basis of travel requests entered on the car operating panel, but no longer on the basis of travel requests entered on the lobby operating panel, can be controlled.
  • Security functions such as a locking of the elevator system or a start of positions within a hoistway, which may not be approached during normal operation or by unauthorized persons, are controlled. Also exclusive functions such as a start-up of certain floors, to which only authorized persons are to be granted access, or a locking instruction according to which the elevator is moved only on the basis of travel requests entered on the car operating panel, but no longer on the basis of travel requests
  • cabin control panels or lobby control panels are known in which a user can input a function request by means of mechanically actuated switches or capacitive sensors.
  • an elevator system which has a car, a car operating panel, a lobby control panel and an elevator system control.
  • the cabin control panel and / or the lobby control panel in this case has a gesture recognition device which is designed to recognize gestures of a user and to output signals based thereon to the elevator system control.
  • the elevator system controller is designed to control functions of the elevator system based on the signals.
  • a gesture recognition device is used by means of which gestures of a user can be detected and on detection of certain gestures corresponding signals can be passed to an elevator system control to cause them to a desired function control.
  • gestures can be understood as meaning various body movements, in particular with body extremities, by means of which a user can express a function request.
  • a pointing, wiping, waving, or similar hand or arm movement can be recognized as a gesture by the gesture recognition device and interpreted as requesting a desired functionality.
  • a user may perform a wiping arm motion to request, for example, that a car door open or close.
  • the gesture recognition device can advantageously be designed to recognize gestures of a user without contact.
  • a user can thus request an elevator car by means of a lobby control panel or enter a destination by means of a cabin control panel without having to touch the lobby control panel or cabin control panel directly and with exact position.
  • the cabin control panel and / or the lobby control panel may have, for example, a screen.
  • Various contents can be displayed on the screen at different positions and / or at different times. For example, numbers or letters may be displayed on the screen according to which a user can select a desired destination floor. Alternatively, icons or images may be displayed on the screen to make such a selection visually more intuitive. For example, instead of a floor number or the caption "Reception", a symbol representing a reception or image may be displayed. As another example, instead of a floor number, a current event taking place in the relevant floor may be illustrated on the screen by name, symbolically and / or figuratively.
  • the gesture recognition device can recognize gestures of the user when approaching the screen and determine, for example, that a gesture should relate to a currently displayed screen content. As a result, the gesture recognition device can interpret a gesture more easily and recognize a request desired by the user.
  • the gesture recognition device can be designed to recognize gestures of the user when approaching the screen capacitively, optically or due to received infrared radiation.
  • the gesture recognition device can, for example, have a sensor that detects the capacitance changes.
  • the user can recognize a gesture of the user by the fact that, when a body part of the user approaches, a capacitance value detected by the sensor varies. From the type of variation of the capacitance values can be deduced a gesture. For example, it can be detected when a user approaches a finger to a certain area of a screen and interpreted this gesture taking into account a currently displayed content in this screen area and understood as a function request.
  • the gesture recognition device can have a laser, a camera, a photodetector and / or an infrared motion sensor and with the aid of which body movements and thus gestures can be optically detected.
  • the gesture recognition device is designed to recognize predefined authorization gestures as an activation code and to output associated release signals to the elevator system control based thereon.
  • the elevator system control is designed to control safety functions and / or exclusive functions of the elevator installation based on the enable signals.
  • safety functions and exclusive functions are to be understood as functions which are safety-relevant for the elevator installation or which should only be reserved for certain users.
  • Safety functions may include, for example, releasing an emergency brake, moving the car into areas outside the normal operating range, opening cabin doors, even off the correctly approached floors, etc. Also a Releasing or changing operating or maintenance data of the elevator installation can be reserved as a safety function only to certain users.
  • Exclusive functions can include, for example, a start-up of floors to which only a limited group of people is to be granted access, or exclusive provision of the elevator installation only to certain users.
  • the security functions and / or exclusive functions should therefore be able to be requested or initiated only if a user has previously authorized himself as authorized.
  • safety or exclusive functions can usually be unlocked by means of a key-operated key-operated switch or by entering a numerical code in a keyboard.
  • stopping the elevator car at certain floors and accessing parts of the building could be made dependent on whether a user could authorize by a physical key or by entering a given numerical code.
  • Such authorization may be accomplished by predefined gestures using the gesture recognition device described herein.
  • a user can trace a sequence of numbers provided as an unlock code with his finger on a screen or, if necessary, even paint it without a screen in the air.
  • the user may, for example, make a gesture in the form of a complex movement with his arms and / or fingers.
  • the gesture recognition device can recognize this and then send a corresponding activation signal to the elevator system control in order to enable or initiate the associated safety or exclusive function.
  • the authorization gestures here can be complex movements with non-linear and / or intersecting paths.
  • a user can move a specific number or symbol sequence with one finger.
  • the movement performed here by the finger is detected by the gesture recognition device as an activation code and then an activation signal is sent to the elevator system control.
  • the gesture recognition device is designed to recognize predefined swipe gestures as a door movement instruction and to output associated door movement signals to the elevator system control based thereon.
  • the elevator system controller is then configured to control movements of a car door of the elevator system based on the door movement signals.
  • a user should be allowed to intuitively initiate, stop, or reverse a movement of the cabin door by gestures.
  • the gesture recognition device recognizes that a gesture is intended to express a user's desire to influence the door movement, i. that the gesture is to be interpreted as a door movement instruction, and then sends a door movement signal instructing the elevator system control accordingly.
  • the gesture recognition device may recognize swipe gestures and recognize them as a travel direction instruction to output associated travel direction signals to the elevator system controller, thereby causing the elevator system controller to control a traveling direction of the elevator car of the elevator system based on the travel direction signals.
  • the swiping gestures here can preferably be simple movements with linear paths.
  • a user's linear horizontal arm or finger movement may be interpreted as a door movement instruction according to which the cabin door is to be opened or closed.
  • a vertical arm or finger movement of a user can be understood as an instruction to stop a door movement.
  • Another vertical swipe gesture can serve as a direction of travel instruction to signal that the elevator car is to travel in a certain direction.
  • the gesture recognition device may be configured to recognize predefined hand gestures as a control instruction and to output thereon associated control signals to the elevator system controller, wherein the elevator system controller is configured to control a function of the elevator system based on the control signals.
  • a user's hand may be interpreted as having a thumb directed up or down.
  • the direction in which the thumb points can be interpreted as indicating a desired direction of travel of the elevator car.
  • a user can use the fingers of his hand for example, signal a number, which can be understood by the gesture recognition device as a control instruction to move the elevator car in a desired floor.
  • Three extended fingers on one hand can thus be interpreted, for example, to mean that the user wants to drive to the third floor.
  • Fig. 1 shows an elevator installation 1 according to an embodiment of the invention.
  • the elevator installation 1 has a cabin 3.
  • a cabin control panel 5 is provided on a wall, via which a user 17 located in the cabin 3 can request a function of the elevator installation 1, such as a method of the car 3 to a desired destination floor.
  • a lobby control panel 7 is provided on a wall within the floor and adjacent to an entrance to the cabin 3.
  • a user located outside the car 3 in the floor may request a function of the elevator installation 1, such as a procedure of the car 3 to the floor in which the user is currently located and waiting for the car 3.
  • the car operating panel 5 or the lobby operating panel 7 pass on signals corresponding to the requirements of the user to an elevator installation control 9.
  • the elevator system control 9 then controls components of the elevator system such as a traversing motor (not shown) or a car door suitably to perform the functions requested by the user.
  • the cabin control panel 5 and / or the lobby control panel 7 is equipped with a gesture recognition device 10.
  • the gesture recognition device 10 is capable of recognizing gestures of a user 17. Based on the recognized gestures, the gesture recognition device 10 can determine which function the user 17 wishes to execute and then send a corresponding signal to the elevator system control 9, which then activates the desired function.
  • the gesture recognition device 10 can be technically implemented in different ways.
  • various methods for recognizing gestures have been developed for applications on smart phones or tablet computers. These methods are generally common to determining features that are e.g. Describe a position, posture and / or movement of a person, for example, because a gesture of a person is described inter alia by a change in your attitude.
  • a touch-sensitive screen or a camera-based system can capture and evaluate a person's gesture.
  • a camera 11, a photodetector or an infrared sensor of a gesture recognition device 10 for a cabin control panel 5 may be directed towards an interior of the car 3.
  • a computer with a processor and optionally a memory may e.g. receive and evaluate data from the camera 11 to derive gestures, e.g. Hand or arm movements of a user located in the cab 3 17 to recognize.
  • the computer may have an image analysis software for this purpose.
  • the gesture recognition device 10 may have a screen 13. On the screen 13, varying contents can be displayed. Gestures of a user 17 may be related to currently displayed contents of the screen. For example, the user can point with one hand to a symbol displayed on the screen 13 and this gesture can be understood as a request to perform a function symbolized by the symbol.
  • a gesture of the user 17 with respect to the screen 13 can be observed and analyzed, for example, with the camera 11.
  • the screen 13 may be proximity sensitive, i. formed as a kind of touch screen, and an approaching of a hand or fingers of the user 17 due to a concomitant local change of capacitance values, which are monitored locally along a two-dimensional surface of the screen 13, recognize. Due to signals from the camera 11 or the proximity-sensitive screen 13, movement patterns of the hand or fingers can be recognized as gestures.
  • the user 17 may make a swipe gesture by making a horizontal, linear movement with his arm, as shown by the arrow 21.
  • This swipe gesture can be performed intuitively, as if the user 17 wanted to move a cabin door 15.
  • the gesture recognition device 10 can recognize this swipe gesture and understand it as a requirement that the car door 15 should be closed.
  • a swipe gesture in the vertical direction could be understood by the gesture recognition device 10 as a requirement to stop a current approach or approach of the car door 15.
  • the gesture recognition device 10 If the gesture recognition device 10 has detected a specific gesture, it can send a corresponding door movement signal to the elevator system control 9, which then, for example, controls motors or actuators of the car door 15 in order to close, open or stop a current movement of the car door 15 ,
  • the user 17 may perform an authorization gesture.
  • the user can, for example, above the screen 13 perform a complex movement with non-linear and possibly intersecting tracks 19.
  • This complex movement can be understood as a kind of code, by means of which the user 17 can authorize, in order then to be able to request, for example, functions of the elevator installation 1 which are reserved for a specific user group only.
  • the user 17 authorize themselves to let drive the cabin 3 to a specific floor, which should not be accessible to unauthorized persons.
  • functions of the elevator installation 1 can be executed by a user 17 with intuitive, natural gestures such as e.g. Body, arm, hand or finger movements are required.
  • the user does not necessarily need to touch switch or contact surfaces, but a function request can be done without contact.
