DESCRIPTION

Determination of passenger movement on the elevator landing area

technical field

The present invention belongs to the field of intelligent elevator control technologies and refers to the determination of the movement of a passenger in relation to the landing area of an elevator through the use of wireless interaction between a wireless signal module installed in a elevator cabin and a personal mobile terminal.

Background art

In existing elevator systems, a common way of elevator call operation is as follows: a passenger manually presses a certain elevator call button on an elevator call control panel installed in an elevator landing area to enter an elevator call request command to move up or down; then, after entering a certain elevator car, the passenger manually presses a certain floor button on a destination floor registration control panel installed in each elevator car to enter a destination floor. This way of elevator call operation needs to be completed manually, and especially when the passenger cannot freely press the push button as above with two hands (for example, when the passenger carries things with two hands or the passenger who cannot walking sits in a wheelchair), the elevator call operation becomes difficult, affecting the experience of passengers.

With the development of automatic elevator call operation technology, various technologies for automatically achieving elevator call operation by using an intelligent mobile terminal such as a mobile phone have emerged. Document CN204980676U discloses a wireless elevator passenger location system using WiFi. EP3116200 discloses a beacon system for directing a passenger to a destination. Document JP2012062190 discloses a system for determining when a passenger gets on or off an elevator.

Detailed description

The present invention will now be more fully described with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown. However, the present invention can be accomplished in many different ways and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided for thorough and complete disclosure and to fully convey the concept of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

Some of the block diagrams shown in the figures are functional entities that do not necessarily correspond to physical or logically independent entities. These functional entities may be implemented in software form, or implemented in one or more hardware modules or integrated circuits, or implemented in different processing apparatus and/or microcontroller apparatus.

Herein, for convenience of description, "an apparatus for determining the movement of a passenger relative to the landing area of an elevator" is referred to simply as a "motion determining apparatus", and "a method for determining movement of a passenger relative to an elevator landing area" is simply called a "motion determination procedure."

FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of an automatic elevator call system according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of an application scenario of a motion determining apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention; and FIG. 3 shows a schematic structural diagram of modules of a personal mobile terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention. The motion determining apparatus, the automatic elevator call system and the elevator system of the embodiments of the present invention are exemplified below in conjunction with FIG. 1 and FIG. 3; furthermore, a method for determining the movement of a passenger with respect to the landing area of an elevator is exemplified.

A motion determining apparatus 10 of the embodiment of the present invention is implemented in an automatic elevator call system of the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, thus forming an automatic elevator call system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The automatic elevator call system is further applied to an elevator system 100 installed in a building. Elevator system 100 comprises one or more elevator cars 110 that travel up or down elevator shafts in the building. FIG. 1 shows two of the elevator cars, 110-1 and 110-2, of the elevator system 100. The movement or stopping of each elevator car 110 in the elevator shaft, that is, each elevator car 110, is controlled by an elevator controller 140 in the elevator system 100. The specific control form or control principle of the elevator controller 140 for the one or more elevator cars 110 is not restrictive, and the specific structure or mechanism form of the elevator controller 140 is not restrictive. elevator controller 140 is also not restrictive.

It should be understood that components or modules included in the motion determination apparatus 10 according to the following embodiments of the present invention may be included in the automatic elevator call system according to an embodiment of the present invention. For example, the automatic elevator call system comprises a first wireless signal module 130 and/or a second wireless signal module 120.

Continuing with FIGS. 1 and 2, the motion determining apparatus 10 comprises one or more first wireless signal modules 130. Each first wireless signal module 130 is installed in each cockpit. elevator 110. For example, a first wireless signal module 130-1 is provided in the elevator car 110-1 and a first wireless signal module 130-2 is provided in the elevator car 110-2. In one embodiment, the first wireless signal module 130 is installed and integrated in a destination floor registration control panel in the elevator car 110, and the specific manner of integrated provision of the first module of wireless signal 130 with respect to the registration control panel of the destination floor is not restrictive.

The first wireless signal module 130 may specifically be a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module. Consequently, the first wireless signal is a Bluetooth low energy signal. The first wireless signal module 130 transmits or broadcasts the first wireless signal, eg, continuously (eg, at short time intervals) broadcasts the first wireless signal. The signal strength of the first broadcast wireless signal is attenuated with the emission distance thereof, and the specific attenuation form is not restrictive. The first wireless signal emitted by the first wireless signal module 130 can substantially effectively cover the area of the elevator car 110 where it is installed. The first wireless signal may therefore be, for example, a Bluetooth low energy signal, which may comprise an information data signal from a first floor where the elevator car 110 is currently located.

It should be noted that the first wireless signal module 130 is coupled with the elevator controller 140. Therefore, during the operation of each elevator car 110, the first wireless signal module 130 is able to obtain the desired information (for example current first floor information, travel direction information and the like of the elevator car 110) from the elevator controller 140 in real time, and packing the first floor information and/or travel direction information (the scroll direction information comprises, for example, "scroll up", "scroll down" and "has not scrolled") in wireless data signals to be output as the first wireless signal.

Continuing with FIGS. 1-3, the motion determination apparatus 10 may also be implemented at least partially by a personal mobile terminal 200 carried by a passenger 90. The personal mobile terminals 200-1 and 200-2 respectively carried by two passengers may each implement at least part of the functions of the motion determining apparatus 10. Each personal mobile terminal 200 is configured to be able to receive the first wireless signal broadcast by the first wireless signal module 130 when a distance condition is met, as shown in FIG. 3. A wireless communication module 210 in the personal mobile terminal 200 is used to receive the first wireless signal or other wireless signals. Wireless communication module 210 may specifically be a Bluetooth low energy module. Here, the first wireless signal may comprise the data signal of the information of the first floor where the elevator car 110 is currently located and/or the current traveling direction information of the elevator car 110.

Each personal mobile terminal 200 can determine the signal strength of the first wireless signal it receives. In one embodiment, a signal strength determination module 230 in the personal mobile terminal 200 determines the signal strength of the received first wireless signal based on the first wireless signal. For example, the personal mobile terminal 200 is configured with a received signal strength indicator (RSSI) to determine the signal strength of the first wireless signal or any other wireless signal it receives, i.e., the signal determination module. signal strength 230 is implemented through the RSSI.

It should be understood that the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 is related to a preset effective emission distance or the emission signal strength of the first wireless signal. In one embodiment, the effective emission distance of the first wireless signal can be preset. For example, the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 will be greater than or equal to a first predetermined value under the circumstance that the personal mobile terminal 200 is at a distance less than or equal to 0, 7-1 meter from the first wireless signal module 130, then the RSSI can indicate that the signal strength of the first wireless signal is "strong", and 0.7-1 meter corresponds to the effective emission distance. Therefore, the personal mobile terminal 200 carried by the passenger 90 in the elevator car 110 can receive the relatively "strong" first wireless signal and can also simultaneously obtain the first floor information broadcast in the first wireless signal. In other words, the personal mobile terminal 200 of the passenger 90 can obtain the first floor information of the current elevator car in real time.

A motion determining module 250 of the personal mobile terminal 200 is used to determine the motion of the passenger 90 relative to the elevator landing area 410 based on the change in signal strength of the first wireless signal.

It should be noted that determining the movement of the passenger 90 relative to the elevator landing area 410 is very important for the following reason: With the development of intelligent elevator control technology, the personal mobile terminal 200 carried by the passenger 90 is an intelligent terminal that performs automatic elevator call operation and can automatically issue various types of elevator call operation commands elevator to enable the elevator controller to perform communication control over the elevator car. For example, the personal mobile terminal automatically issues an elevator call command when the personal mobile terminal 200 is at or near the elevator landing area 410, and the elevator controller will control the operation of the elevator car based on the command. elevator call; however, if the elevator car is parked in a certain elevator landing area, it is likely that a personal mobile terminal 200 of a passenger exiting the elevator car will also automatically issue an elevator call command, but in the In most cases, the passenger who leaves the elevator car generally no longer needs to take the elevator in a short time, so the elevator call order in this case cannot really reflect the need to take the elevator by the passenger. of the passenger. If the elevator system accepts the elevator call command corresponding to the passenger 90 exiting the elevator car, the elevator system may run inefficiently, which seriously affects the operating efficiency of the elevator system.

As shown in FIG. 2, it is taken for example that the elevator car 110 travels up or down and stops at a floor N, where the floor N corresponds, for example, to the landing area of the elevator 410. The passenger 90 who wears the personal mobile terminal 200 picks up the elevator car 110-1, the first wireless signal module 130-1 in the elevator car 110-1 continuously emits the first wireless signal, and the personal mobile terminal 200 of one or more Passengers 90 taking the elevator continuously receive the first wireless signal. When elevator car 110-1 reaches floor N and a landing door opens, passenger 90 will exit elevator car 110-1 and move to elevator landing area 410. Passenger 90 will stay away of the first wireless signal module 130-1. The signal strength of the first wireless signal (emitted by the first wireless signal module 130-1) received by the personal mobile terminal 200 will progressively weaken, for example, it will change from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value of zero or relatively weak. The first predetermined value may indicate that the current distance from the passenger 90 to the first wireless signal module 130-1 is in the range of 0.7 to 1 meter. When the signal strength is greater than or equal to the first predetermined value, the passenger 90 may likely be located in the elevator car 110-1.

Therefore, in one embodiment, the first wireless signal module 130-1 continuously outputs the first floor information of the floor where the elevator car 110-1 is currently located via the first wireless signal. For example, in the process that the elevator car 110-1 moves down from floor (N+x) to floor N, the first wireless signal module 130-1 continuously broadcasts the information of the first floor from floor (N+x) to floor N until elevator car 110-1 stops at floor N, and personal mobile terminal 200 can receive the changing information of the first floor before the landing door is opened . After the landing door is opened, the personal mobile terminal 200 can also receive the information of the first floor of the N floor while the personal mobile terminal 200 determines the signal strength of the first received wireless signal through the RSSI or the like. If the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 changes from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value to zero or relatively weak and the first floor information (eg floor N) received by the personal mobile terminal 200 after the change differs from the information of the first floor (for example, the floor (N+1)) received by the personal mobile terminal 200 before the change, the movement of the passenger from the elevator car 110- 1 to the elevator landing area 410 after taking the elevator. Therefore, in combination with the change in the information of the first floor, not only can it be determined that the passenger moves from the elevator car 110 1 to the elevator landing area 410, but also it can be determined that the passenger take the elevator before the movement, to distinguish from the situation where the passenger 90 first enters the elevator car 110-1 and then exits the elevator car 110-1 on the same floor. In the event that the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 changes from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value to zero or relatively weak and the first floor information (for example, the floor N) received by the personal mobile terminal 200 after the change does not differ from the information of the first floor (for example, floor N) received by the personal mobile terminal 200 before the change, it is determined that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110-1 in the elevator landing area 410 which does not occur after the passenger takes the elevator. As an example, when elevator car 110-1 is parked, passenger 90 waiting for an elevator at elevator landing area 410 first enters elevator car 110-1 and then discovers that elevator car 110-1 is not an assigned elevator car (for example, 110-2), passenger 90 then returns from elevator car 110-1 to elevator landing area 410.

In one embodiment, the personal mobile terminal 200 or the motion determining module 250 thereof is configured to determine that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110-1 to the elevator landing area after catching the elevator. when the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the motion determining module 250 thereof changes from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value to zero or relatively weak and the information of the first floor received by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the movement determination module 250 thereof after the change differs from the first floor information received by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the movement determination module 250 thereof before the change. The personal mobile terminal 200 or the movement determining module 250 thereof is further configured to determine that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110-1 to the elevator landing area and this does not happen after the passenger 90 take the elevator when the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the motion determination module 250 thereof changes from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value of zero or relatively weak and the first floor information received by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the motion determination module 250 of the same after the change does not differ from the first floor information received by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the movement determination module 250 thereof before the change.

In the motion determination process or the motion determination method, it can be determined whether or not the passenger moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 through the change in the intensity of the signal of the first received wireless signal; by comparing with the first floor information of the previously received first wireless signal, it can be determined whether the passenger travels together with the first elevator car 110 before exiting the elevator car, so that it can be determined whether the passenger 90 moves from elevator car 110-1 to elevator landing area 410 after taking the elevator. The previous information of the first floor of the first wireless signal received before the change is received when the RRSI indicates "strong", that is, when the signal strength remains greater than or equal to the first predetermined value. This further indicates that the passenger 90 receives the changing information of the first floor within the elevator car 110.

Continuing with FIGS. 1-3, in another alternative embodiment, the first wireless signal module 130 is coupled with the elevator controller 140. Furthermore, during the operation of each elevator car 110, the first wireless signal module 130 is capable of obtaining the information of the direction of travel of the elevator car 110 from the elevator controller 140 in real time. For example, when the elevator travels up, the travel direction information is "travels up"; when the elevator travels down, the travel direction information is “travels down; when the elevator is parked on a certain floor, the travel direction information "does not scroll"; and the offset address information is packed into a wireless data signal to be output as the first wireless signal.

Therefore, the first wireless signal module 130-1 continuously outputs the offset address information through the first wireless signal. For example, in the process that the elevator car 110-1 moves down from floor (N+x) to floor N, the first wireless signal module 130-1 continuously outputs the information of the travel direction "scrolls down" until the elevator car 110-1 is parked on floor N, and the personal mobile terminal 200 can continuously receive the travel direction information before the door is opened of the landing The personal mobile terminal 200 or the movement determination module 250 thereof is configured to determine the movement of the passenger 90 with respect to the elevator landing area 410 based on the change in signal strength of the first received wireless signal, and also to determine whether the movement of the passenger is performed after the passenger takes the elevator based on the change in the travel direction information of the received first wireless signal. In one embodiment, the personal mobile terminal 100 or the motion determination module 250 thereof is further configured to determine that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 after catching the elevator. when the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 100 or the motion determining module 250 thereof changes from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value to zero or relatively weak and the address information received before the change changes from "scroll up" or "scroll down" to "has not shifted". The personal mobile terminal 100 or the movement determination module 250 thereof is further configured to determine that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 and this does not happen after the passenger 90 takes the elevator when the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 100 or the motion determination module 250 thereof changes from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value to zero or relatively weak and the scroll direction information received before the change is "does not scroll".

In the motion determination process or the motion determination method, it can be determined whether or not the passenger moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 through the change in the intensity of the motion signal. the first received wireless signal; and then by comparing with the travel direction information of the first wireless signal received before the movement, it can be determined whether or not the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110-1 to the elevator landing area 410. after taking the elevator. The previous information of the first floor of the first wireless signal received before the change is received when the RRSI indicates "strong", that is, when the signal strength remains greater than or equal to the first predetermined value. This further indicates that the passenger 90 receives the travel direction change information within the elevator car 110.

In the above embodiment, when the passenger 90 starts moving away from the first wireless signal module 130, based on the wireless signal transmission characteristics, the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 is progressively weakens substantially. Therefore, in the process of changing the previous signal strength of the first wireless signal of greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value of zero or relatively weak, the change can be optionally substantially progressive. For example, the intensity of the signal changes in a substantially decreasing linear fashion or changes in a progressively decreasing curve fashion. In this way, situations such as the signal intensity changing "abruptly" that do not represent the passenger 90 moving from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 can be ruled out, which is advantageous for increasing the accuracy of the judgment.

Note that the first predetermined value is selected as a value representative of the signal strength value of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 when the passenger is or is likely to be inside the elevator car, for example, a signal strength value of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 when the distance from the passenger 90 to the first wireless signal module 130 is a certain value in the range of 0.7 to 1 meter, or a signal strength value of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 when the corresponding passenger 90 is inside the elevator car 110. In general, when the landing door is closed, the personal mobile terminal 200 outside the elevator car 110 will not be able to receive the corresponding first wireless signal or the received first wireless signal is relatively weak.

In the present application, the signal strength of the first wireless signal is relatively weak means that the signal strength of the first wireless signal is at least less than the first predetermined value. In the event that the signal strength of the first wireless signal is less than the first predetermined value, it indicates that the passenger is not or likely not inside the elevator car 110 and is in the elevator landing area. 410 outside the elevator car 110.

Continuing with FIGS. 1 and 2, in one embodiment, the motion determining apparatus 10 further comprises a second wireless signal module 120 installed in each elevator landing area 410. The second wireless signal module 120 is used to output a second signal wireless, for example, continuously transmit an information data signal from the second floor of the elevator landing area 410 where the second wireless signal module 120 is located, so that once the landing area is entered of the elevator 410, the personal mobile terminal 200 can continuously receive the information from the second floor. Therefore, the personal mobile terminal 200 or the movement determination module 250 thereof can be configured to determine that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 where the second wireless signal module 120 is installed when the signal strength of the first s wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the motion determination module 250 thereof changes from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value to zero or relatively weak, the second wireless signal second floor information is not received by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the motion determining module 250 thereof before the change, and the information of the second floor of the second wireless signal received after the change does not differ from the information of the first floor of the previously received first wireless signal by the personal mobile terminal 200 or the motion determining module 250 thereof.

By way of example, in a motion determination method, if passenger 90 exits elevator car 110 after catching the elevator, the landing door is generally opened first, and then passenger 90 exits the car. of elevator. For example, when the elevator car 110 moves and stops at the N floor, before the passenger 90 exits the elevator car 110, the mobile terminal 200 can continuously receive the information of the first floor of the floor ( for example, the floor N) where the elevator car 110-1 is currently located which is continuously broadcast by the first wireless signal module 130-1 through the first wireless signal; after the landing door is opened, the signal strength of the first wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 changes from greater than or equal to the first relatively strong predetermined value to zero or relatively weak, and this change process indicates that passenger 90 is in the process of moving from elevator car 110 to elevator landing area 410; after the change, the personal mobile terminal 200 will be able to receive the information of the second floor (eg floor N) broadcast by the second wireless signal module 120; the second floor information is compared with the previously received first floor information, and if they are the same, for example, both are floor N, it is determined that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 where the second wireless signal module 120 is located after taking the elevator.

The movement determining apparatus 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention can also be used to determine whether or not the passenger moves outside the landing area of the elevator. In one embodiment, while receiving the second wireless signal, the personal mobile device 200 also determines the strength of the received second wireless signal via the signal strength determination module 230 (eg, the RSSI). The personal mobile device 200 or the motion determination module 250 thereof is also configured to determine that the passenger moves substantially out of the elevator landing area 410 when the signal strength of the second wireless signal received by the mobile device personnel 200 or the motion determination module 250 thereof changes from greater than or equal to a second predetermined value of zero or relatively weak. The second predetermined value may correspond to the signal strength of the second wireless signal received by the personal mobile device 200 at an elevator landing area exit location, or a signal strength threshold of a second wireless connection. 320 to transmit an elevator call request command of the passenger 90 that is automatically established in the process of the personal mobile device 200 approaching the elevator landing area 410 from outside the elevator landing area 410.

By way of example, in a motion determination method or form, after moving to the elevator landing area 410, the passenger 90 may typically leave the elevator landing area 410 or even leave the building. In the process of leaving the elevator landing area 410, the passenger 90 continuously moves away from the second wireless signal module 120. Therefore, the signal strength of the second wireless signal received by the personal mobile terminal 200 will change from greater than or equal to the second default value of zero or relatively weak. If this occurs, it can be determined that the passenger 90 is moving substantially out of the elevator landing area 410.

When the passenger 90 moves substantially out of the elevator landing area 410, it is generally not necessary to perform an automatic elevator call operation. Therefore, the personal mobile terminal 200 is further configured to automatically enter a standby mode when movement of the passenger to the location that is substantially outside the elevator landing area is determined. In the standby mode, the personal mobile terminal 200 does not automatically perform the functions of the embodiments of the present invention. When the passenger re-enters the elevator landing area 410 next time, the personal mobile terminal 200 can be woken up from standby mode by the received second wireless signal, to automatically perform the functions of embodiments of the present invention , for example, perform the automatic elevator call operation again.

The motion determination apparatus 10 of the embodiment of the present invention can be applied to an elevator system 100 of the embodiment of the present invention described below, which can achieve automatic elevator call operation in a Completely hands-free, and thus ineffective elevator call operations can be effectively avoided.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, to obtain the elevator call request command from each elevator landing area 410, a second wireless signal module 120 is provided in the elevator system 100. The second wireless signal module 120 can be installed in each elevator landing area 410 of elevator system 100 (as shown in FIG. 2). It should be understood that each elevator landing area 410 may have one or more second wireless signal modules 120 installed such that the second wireless signal transmitted by the second wireless signal module 120 can effectively cover substantially each elevator landing area. 410. Specifically, the second wireless signal module 120 may be integrally provided in an elevator call control panel of the elevator system 100, wherein the elevator call control panel 12 is generally installed on both sides of the elevator landing area landing door 410, and the elevator call control panel 12 may be provided with elevator call buttons such as "up" or "down" so that the elevator call request command can be entered manually based on the elevator call control panel 12.

In one embodiment, the second wireless signal module 120 may specifically be a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module. The second wireless signal, for example, can therefore be a BLE signal. The second wireless signal may comprise an activation signal to wake up the personal mobile terminal 200 and may also comprise an identifier of the second wireless signal module 120 (eg, a universally unique identifier (UUID)). The specific signal shape of the second wireless signal is not restrictive. In general, the strength of the wireless signal attenuates with the distance it is propagated. Therefore, the personal mobile terminal 200 receiving the second wireless signal can substantially determine the distance from the personal mobile terminal 200 to the second wireless signal module 120 in accordance with the signal strength of the second wireless signal. It will be understood that as the passenger walks in the elevator landing area 410, the distance changes dynamically.

Continuing with FIGS. 1 and 2, the elevator system 100 further comprises a plurality of first wireless signal modules 130, each of which is installed in each elevator car 110. For example, a first wireless signal module 130-1 is provided in the elevator car 110-1 and a first wireless signal module 130-2 is provided in the elevator car 110-2. In one embodiment, the first wireless signal module is installed and integrally provided in the destination floor registration control panel in the elevator car 110.

It should be noted that each of the second wireless signal modules 120 and the first wireless signal modules 130 in the motion determining apparatus 10 or the elevator system 100 is coupled with the elevator controller 140, for example, indirectly coupled ( eg, connected via an RSL bus) to the elevator controller 140 via the elevator call control panel and the destination floor registration control panel, respectively. Therefore, the elevator call request command and the destination floor registration command respectively received by the second wireless signal module 120 and the first wireless signal module 130 can be transmitted to the elevator controller 140.

Continuing with FIG. 1, there may be a plurality of motion determining apparatuses 10 or personal mobile terminals 200 carrying passengers 90 in the elevator system 100, for example, personal mobile terminals 200-1 and 200-2 carrying two passengers, respectively. . Each personal mobile terminal 200 can establish a second wireless connection 320 with the second wireless signal module 120, and each personal mobile terminal 200 can establish a first wireless connection 330 with the first wireless signal module 130.

Continuing with FIGS. 1-3, the personal mobile terminal 200 may be various types of intelligent terminals that have a wireless connection function and are convenient for a passenger to carry. The personal mobile terminal 200 may be provided with a memory, a processor having a computing function, and the like. Specifically, the personal mobile terminal 200 may be a smartphone, a smart wearable device (eg, a smart bracelet, etc.), a personal digital assistant (PAD), or the like, in which a corresponding application program (eg, example, an APP) can be installed to achieve its functions.

In the elevator system 100, when the second wireless signal module 120 outputs the second wireless signal, the personal mobile terminal 200 carried by the passenger approaching the second wireless signal module 120 can automatically receive the second wireless signal and automatically establish the second. wireless connection 320 with the corresponding second wireless signal module 120 based on the second wireless signal. Further, after the establishment of the second wireless connection 320, the personal mobile terminal 200 transmits the elevator call request command with respect to the elevator call direction (for example, an elevator call request command "move to up" or "scroll down"). The second wireless signal module 120 receives the elevator call request command with respect to the elevator call address transmitted from the personal mobile terminal 200 and can further transmit the elevator call request command to the elevator controller 140 of so that the elevator controller 140 controls the operation of one or more elevator cars 110 in the elevator system 100 based on the elevator call request command. In this way, the elevator call request command automatically transmitted by the personal mobile terminal 200 can replace the elevator call request command input manually by pressing the elevator call button, and the above process can be achieved automatically without operating the personal mobile terminal 200 by the passenger. This fully achieves the automatic input of an elevator call request command to the elevator system 100 in a hands-free mode for the passenger, and the implementation process is simple and convenient, which greatly improves the passenger experience. .

Note that every second wireless signal module 120 establishes the second wireless connection 320 with only one personal mobile terminal 200 at a given time, and every second wireless signal module 120 can successively establish the second wireless connection 320 with personal mobile terminals 200. carrying a plurality of passengers approaching the second wireless signal module 120 in a chronological order. After establishing the second wireless connection 320 with the second wireless signal module 120 and transmitting the corresponding elevator call request command, each personal mobile terminal 200 will actively disconnect from the second wireless connection 320 so that the second signal module wireless 120 can automatically establish the second wireless connection 320 with a personal mobile terminal 200 of the next passenger. In one embodiment, the second wireless signal module 120 is configured to return a second confirmation message to the corresponding personal mobile terminal 200 after receiving the elevator call request order. The second acknowledgment message indicates that the elevator system 100 successfully accepts the elevator call request command. The personal mobile terminal 200 is configured to actively disconnect from the second wireless connection 320 based on the received second confirmation message.

It should be noted that "the elevator call request command with respect to the elevator call direction" in the present invention does not contain the passenger's destination floor information, or even if the destination floor information is comprised in the itself, it is not recognized or used by the elevator controller 140. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first wireless connection 330 with the personal mobile terminal 200 is also established depending on the first wireless signal module 130 .

Continuing with FIG. 1, in the elevator system 100 or the motion determining apparatus 10, when the first wireless signal module 130 outputs the first wireless signal, the personal mobile terminal 200 carrying the passenger 90 approaching the first wireless signal module 130 (for example, when the passenger 90 moves into the elevator car) will automatically continue to receive the first wireless signal (at this time, the second wireless connection 320 previously established between the personal mobile terminal 200 and the second communication module). wireless signal 120 has already been disconnected). Furthermore, the personal mobile terminal 200 automatically establishes the first wireless connection 330 with the corresponding first wireless signal module 130 based on the first wireless signal. After the establishment of the first wireless connection 330, the personal mobile terminal 200 transmits a destination floor registration command with respect to the destination floor information, the first wireless signal module 130 receives the elevator call request command with respect to the elevator call address transmitted from the personal mobile terminal 200, and the first wireless signal module 130 can further transmit the registration command of the destination floor to the controller elevator 140 so that the elevator controller 140 controls the operation of one or more elevator cars 110 in the elevator system 100 based on the register command of the destination floor. In this way, the destination floor search command automatically transmitted by the personal mobile terminal 200 can replace the destination floor search command entered manually by pressing the floor button, and the above process can be achieved automatically without operating the mobile terminal. personal 200 by the passenger. In other words, this achieves the automatic input of a search order from the destination floor to the elevator system 100 in a hands-free mode for the passenger, and the implementation process is also easy and convenient, which greatly improves the passenger experience.

It should be noted that each first wireless signal module 130 establishes the first wireless connection 330 with only one personal mobile terminal 200 at a given time, and each first wireless signal module 130 can successively establish the first wireless connection 330 with personal mobile terminals 200. carrying a plurality of passengers 90 approaching the first wireless signal module 130 in a chronological order. After establishing the first wireless connection 330 with the first wireless signal module 130 and transmitting the corresponding destination floor registration command, each personal mobile terminal 200 will actively disconnect from the first wireless connection 330 so that the first wireless signal module 130 can establish the first wireless connection 330 with a personal mobile terminal 200 of the next passenger 90. In one embodiment, the first wireless signal module 130 is configured to return a first confirmation message to the corresponding personal mobile terminal 200 after receiving the search warrant of the destination apartment. The first acknowledgment message indicates that the elevator system 100 successfully accepts the destination floor search command. The personal mobile terminal 200 is configured to actively disconnect from the first wireless connection 330 based on the first confirmation message received.

It should be understood that the above process between the establishment of the second wireless connection 320 and the disconnection of the second wireless connection 320 can be completed in a short period of time. Similarly, the above process between the establishment of the first wireless connection 330 and the disconnection of the first wireless connection 330 can also be completed in a short period of time, for example, within an order of magnitude time interval. of milliseconds, whereby a second wireless signal module 120 or a first wireless signal module 130 can complete the sequential second wireless connection 320 or the first wireless connection 330 with multiple personal mobile terminals 200 in a short period of time. The multiple personal mobile terminals 200 can substantially simultaneously complete the elevator call operation in a short period of time.

The elevator system 100 or the motion determining apparatus 10 in the above embodiments can achieve automatic elevator call operation in a completely hands-free mode. For example, in the process that a certain passenger 90 enters the building lobby and reaches the destination floor, as long as the passenger 90 carries the personal mobile terminal 200, the passenger 90 can take the elevator to the destination floor without no operation. As shown in FIG. 2, if the passenger 90 moves to the elevator landing area 410 from other areas of the building, when the distance from the personal mobile terminal 200 to the second wireless signal module 120 in the elevator landing area 410 is less than or equal to a second distance threshold while the signal strength of the received second wireless signal changes from zero or relatively weak to greater than or equal to a second relatively strong predetermined value, the second wireless connection 320 will be established at this point and the command corresponding elevator call request is transmitted automatically. The elevator controller 140 will control the movement of the elevator car based on the elevator call request command, for example, it will control the elevator car 110-1 to park at a floor or a landing station corresponding to the area However, if the passenger 90 exits the elevator car 110-1 parked on the floor and enters the elevator landing area 410, the personal mobile terminal 200 carried by the passenger 90 automatically sets the second wireless connection 320 with the second wireless signal module. 120 and transmits the elevator call request command to the second wireless signal module 120. Obviously, the elevator call request command could easily lead to inefficient operation of the elevator, which affects the operation efficiency of the elevator system. 100.

In the motion determination apparatus 10 and the motion determination method thereof according to embodiments of the present invention, a determination result on the movement of the passenger with respect to the elevator landing area 410 can also be transmitted. to the elevator system 100 at the same time. In the elevator system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the above determination result may be transmitted to the elevator controller 140 to, for example, determine that the personal mobile terminal 200 is located in the landing area. of the elevator 410 when the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 after taking the elevator. Therefore, through the wireless communication module 210 of the personal mobile terminal 200, the personal mobile terminal 200 can actively establish the wireless connection with the second wireless signal module 120 and transmit the determination result to the elevator controller 140. The elevator controller 140 is further configured to select the determination result on the movement of the passenger 90 with respect to the elevator landing area 410 transmitted from the movement determination apparatus 10 as a judgment condition for judging whether or not to cancel the elevator call request command from the personal mobile terminal 200 of the corresponding passenger 90.

By way of example, when the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410, the personal mobile terminal 200 automatically transmits an elevator call request command with an elevator call direction up to the passenger. second wireless signal module 120 in the elevator landing area 410 and transmits the motion determination result simultaneously. When the elevator controller 140 especially receives the determination result that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 after taking the elevator, the elevator controller 140 may cancel or reject the command. elevator call request with the upward elevator call direction corresponding to the passenger. Especially when the elevator controller 140 receives the determination result that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410, but this does not happen after the passenger 90 takes the elevator, the controller The elevator call request command 140 will not cancel or reject the elevator call request command with the elevator call up direction corresponding to the passenger.

It should be understood that the condition for the elevator controller 140 to judge whether to cancel or reject the elevator call request command corresponding to the passenger 90 is not limited to the condition of the determination result transmitted by the personal mobile terminal 200, and may also comprise many other conditions as judgment elements, for example, elevator call request commands corresponding to other passengers, the current operating condition of the elevator car, and the like.

In the elevator system 100 according to another embodiment of the present invention, the above determination result may not be transmitted to the elevator controller 140. Alternatively, to avoid generating an ineffective elevator call request, when it is determined that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410, especially when it is determined that the passenger 90 moves from the elevator car 110 to the elevator landing area 410 after catching the elevator, the transmission of the elevator call request command. In this way, even if the personal mobile terminal 200 of the passenger 90 exiting the elevator car 110 has established the second wireless connection 320 with the second wireless signal module 120 in the elevator landing area 410 and transmits the command to elevator call request, the elevator system 100 also cannot receive the elevator call request command. The duration of the suspension can be set according to specific circumstances, for example, set according to an amount of time from the moment a passenger normally begins to walk out of the elevator car 110 to the moment the passenger has fully exited to the elevator landing area 410, for example, set within a range of 15 seconds to 1 minute. It will be understood that the passenger 90 may automatically continue to transmit the elevator call request command based on the personal mobile terminal 200 after the duration of the suspension.

It should be noted that the motion determining apparatus 10 and the motion determining method thereof of the embodiments of the present invention are not limited in the elevator system 100 that can achieve an elevator call operation in a call mode. completely hands-free according to the above embodiments. For example, the motion determination apparatus 10 and its motion determination method can also be applied in an elevator system based on another automatic elevator call mode of operation. In the other elevator call operation mode, the personal mobile terminal can automatically transmit or automatically input an elevator call request command with respect to the elevator call address and destination floor information to the elevator system by same time, and the elevator system will assign a corresponding elevator car (a plurality of elevator cars exist simultaneously in the elevator system) for the passenger based on the order and automatically register the passenger's destination floor in the elevator car . In such an elevator system, if the passenger 90 enters the elevator landing area 410 from the elevator car 110, there is similarly a problem that the assigned elevator car may operate inefficiently, which also affects to the operating efficiency of the entire elevator system. The elevator controller 140 of said elevator system may also be configured to select the determination result on the movement of the passenger 90 with respect to the elevator landing area 410 transmitted from the movement determining apparatus 10 as a judgment condition for judging whether or not the elevator call request command corresponding to the personal mobile terminal 200 of the passenger 90 should be canceled, or the personal mobile terminal 200 is configured to suspend the transmission of the elevator call request command to avoid the inefficient operation of the assigned elevator car 110.

In the motion determining apparatus 10 or the elevator system 100 of the above embodiment, the first wireless signal module 130 in each elevator car 110 can continuously output the first wireless signal. The first wireless signal comprises one or more of the following: the first floor information, the travel direction information, etc. It will be understood that the information changes in real time. Also, the second wireless signal module 120 in each elevator landing area 410 can continuously broadcast at least the second floor information. The personal mobile terminal 200 or the motion determining module 250 thereof can comprehensively determine the motion of the passenger 90 with respect to the elevator landing area 410 based on the multiple changes of the first floor information, the second floor information, the travel direction information, etc., so that the determination result on the movement can be more exactly.
