NL1025914C2 - Dynamic message display, used to display message on different floors of building, is altered by elevator users pressing buttons inside and outside elevator - Google Patents

Abstract

The display is an electronic one located inside and outside two elevators or lifts on different floors of a building and the message is in the form of a saying or phrase whose individual parts can be altered by pressing buttons inside and outside the elevators so that elevator users can modify or change the message. Such changes are visible on all of the screens, allowing a dialogue to be created between lift users on different floors.

Description

Description Brief description

The invention is to be applied in lifts and consists of a stand on light newspapers 5 (inside and outside the lifts), such as "everything brings joy". Elevator users can adjust their composition. By pressing the buttons inside and outside the lifts, part of the position changes. This is immediately visible on all other light newspapers. In this way people on different floors can enter into a kind of dialogue.

10 Background

Waiting for the elevator requires no effort. A moment between A and B offers an opportunity to consider things, to get lost in thought, or to talk to colleagues. But if there is nothing to think about or talk about, it is mostly boring. A constantly changing, manipulable position changes the elevator experience and offers discussion material stimulates, scatters and inspires

Theses

Example A: (1) Summer - (2) reduces - (3) stress Example B: (1) Humor - (2) reduces - (3) stress 20 Example C: (1) Humor - (2) promotes - ( 3) a kiss

The scaffolding consists of three parts that are determined separately by (1) the buttons in the left lift, (2) the buttons for the lifts, (3) the buttons in the straight lift. left lift is pressed on a specific button 25

Influence on the statement

The lift user who changes the position at the touch of a button may disagree with the new position. He only chose a button to go to a certain floor; not for its meaning. To exert some more influence without unnecessarily pressing other 30 buttons, he can press the same button again. The phrase that changed earlier, then changes to the opposite. For example, "Attes" becomes "Nothing", or 1025914) 2 "promotes" is "prevented." Thus, a button alternately gives two opposing entries to a phrase.

Discussions 5 Because the position changes directly on all displays, abstract discussions can arise between people on different floors: "Everything is the same" suddenly becomes "Everything is different" and in response "Nothing is different."

Database 10 All entries for phrases are stored in a database, in sets of two.

For example, summer and winter. These sets are subdivided into three groups, which are respectively for the buttons in the left lift (the start of the rack), the buttons outside the lifts (the center of the rack) and the buttons of the right lift (the end of the rack). The input into the database takes into account the 15 grammatical correctness of possible combinations. The center of the statement always contains a verb.

Content

The interpretation of the phrases is derived from the language prevailing in the building. It is a mixture of jargon and everyday language. The newly formed scaffolding again becomes part of the corporate culture. People who regularly use the lifts have an influence on the used phrases, because they are consulted during the first completion of the database. If desired, the software can be expanded so that (certain) people can manage (part of) the database via the intranet or internet.

Examples

Here is a possible interpretation of the phrases assigned to Uitknoppen on five floors and in two lifts.

Elevator left Outside the elevators Elevator right

Button 1 Summer / Buttons Γ promotes / Button 1 stress /

The winter floor prevents rest

Button 2 Wait / Button 2nd is / Button 2 proud /

Addressing floor differs from shame

Button 3 Humor / Buttons 3 ° clarifies / Button 3 coherence /

Ernst floor blurs a patchwork quilt

Button 4 A shovel / Buttons 4 ° changes / Button 4 pulp /

A kiss floor retains quality

Button 5 The theory / Buttons 5C illuminated / Button 5 suoces /

The practice floor aggravates a blunder 3 Some possible propositions that arise from this.

A. The summer relieves stress.

In this case, button 1 of the left elevator, the up or down button on the fifth floor and button 1 of the right elevator was pressed.

10 B. The summer aggravates stress.

Follows A if the up or down button on the fifth floor is pressed again

C. Waiting aggravates a blunder.

15 Follows B, if button 2 in the left lift is pressed and button 5 in the right lift is pressed twice

Variable phrases

All buttons are periodically, for example weekly, assigned a different set of entries from the database. This regularity is variable. The number of sets in the database is many times greater than the number of available buttons. Due to the refresh of phrases, the racks remain interesting for the lift user.

Variable operation

The way in which the use of the lift determines the position is variable If it turns out that buttons are often pressed unnecessarily, just to manipulate the position, the influence of the buttons can be limited. For example, the buttons cannot have any influence on the position when the lift is moving. Whether (a part of) the position is determined by other lift properties that the lift user has no direct influence on, such as the height or weight of the lift. In such a case, the buttons only serve to reverse the meaning. A number of these rules are pre-programmed, so that the operation can be adjusted quickly in practice 10

Hardware 1. Elevator buttons.

2. Elevator computer. This is present as standard and receives signals from the elevator (floor, direction, speed, etc) and the elevator buttons (pressed, previously pressed). For this invention, the elevator computer must transmit this information to one or more PLCs.

For this, the existing software may need to be adapted by an authorized company.

3. The PLCs pass this information on to the rack computer. A single PLC contains information on multiple floors (for example, 4). The number of PLCs required therefore depends on the number of floors.

20 4. Wiring within the elevator shaft must be made by an authorized company. 5. The rack computer contains a database with phrases and makes a selection based on information from the PLCs. The position that arises from this is sent to the matrix displays (light newspapers) on all floors and in the lifts. For this control, already available software is used, available from suppliers of 25 matrix displays. The scaffolding computer also serves to manage the database and various parameters for forming the scaffolding.

6. Matrix displays outside the elevators show the position they receive from the position computer. There are various matrix displays available, in all dimensions and colors. A vandal-proof display is preferred.

7. Matrix displays within the lifts also show the position of the rack computer. They are installed by an authorized company. Here too there are various options, depending on the elevator manufacturer. The displays are preferably recessed in the elevator wall.

8. The scaffolding computer may be connected to the network, in order to make database management easier and possibly more democratic.

Claims (14)

1. A dynamic message, displayed on newsletters in and around two lifts. The message is built up from parts that are determined separately by the use of the 5 lifts. The message is a statement. If the message changes, the new message is immediately displayed on all light newspapers. Dynamic message according to claim 1, characterized in that use is made of a single lift or three or more lifts. 3. Dynamic message according to claim 1 and / or 2, characterized in that it is displayed in a different way and / or a different location. For example on a monitor elsewhere in the building or on a web page. Dynamic message according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the message is not a statement. For example a question. Dynamic message according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the message is not a statement and / or is expressed and represented in another way. For example as a photo collage, video or sound mix. Dynamic message according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that it is stored and can be viewed elsewhere later. 7. The start, middle and end of the dynamic message are determined by the buttons in the left lift, the buttons outside the lift and the buttons in the right lift respectively Dynamic message according to claim 7, characterized in that other lift properties determine (a part of) the message. For example: height, direction, speed, weight, number of people waiting for the lifts, opening, closing or blocking the doors, the number of times a button is pressed, the frequency with which a button is pressed, or the difference in the above mentioned properties between different lifts, doors, or buttons. Dynamic message according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that the message does not consist of three parts, but consists of 1,2,4 or more parts. 10. If a message-determining lift property (such as a button) is active several times in succession, it alternately gives different fillings to a part of message (e.g. love and then hate.) The number of fillings is variable 1025914 " 11. Message-determining lift properties (such as buttons) are periodically automatically randomly assigned other meanings, originating from a substantial, extensible database, so that the dynamic message remains surprising. The regularity is variable. A dynamic message according to one or more of the preceding claims, characterized in that users of computers on the intranet determine which meanings are assigned to message-determining lift properties. 13. Dynamic message according to one or more of the above claims, characterized in that it is possible to determine via the internet which meanings are assigned to message-determining lift properties. Dynamic message according to claim 12 and / or 13, characterized in that not everyone is authorized to determine which meanings are assigned to message-determining lift properties. 1025914-
