BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a control technology, and more particularly, to a system and a method for controlling an elevator relevant to an Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

2. Description of Related Art

Deaths resulting from heart disease have been on the rise in recent years, and sudden cardiac arrest is the most common cause of death from heart disease. To restore a normal heartbeat, "electric shock" is used. For example, an AED (automated external defibrillator) may automatically detect patient’s cardiac rhythm pulse and deliver an electrical shock, allowing the heart to re-establish an effective rhythm.

The AEDs are widely installed today in schools, airports, shopping malls, large recreational areas, traffic intersections, and other public areas with large crowds, including entrances and exits with large crowds and service counters or information desks. When someone needs an AED in an emergency, the other person must first go to the place where the AED is located, take the AED out, and back to the one who needs help. Then, turn on the AED and attach the electrode pad to the patient following the audio and video instructions on the AED.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Implementations of the present disclosure are described below by embodiments. Other advantages and technical effects of the present disclosure can be readily understood by one of ordinary skill in the art upon reading the disclosure of this specification. It should be noted that the structures, ratios, sizes shown in the drawings appended to this specification are provided in conjunction with the disclosure of this specification in order to facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art. They are not meant, in any ways, to limit the implementations of the present disclosure, and therefore have no substantial technical meaning. Without influencing the effects created and objectives achieved by the present disclosure, any modifications, changes or adjustments to the structures, ratios or sizes are construed as falling within the scope covered by the technical contents disclosed herein.

Referring to FIGs. 1 and 2, in at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, a system 100 for controlling an elevator 4 equipped with an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) 1 includes an AED calling device 21 and an elevator controlling device 22.

In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the AED calling device 21 is disposed outside the elevator 4 and for sending a call signal to the elevator controlling device 22 when being triggered.

In an embodiment according to the present disclosure, the elevator controlling device 22 is configured to control the elevator 4 and may receive the call signal from the AED calling device 21. In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, in response to the call signal of the AED calling device 21, the elevator controlling device 22 determines whether the elevator 4 is in motion. If the elevator 4 is determined to be not in motion, the elevator controlling device 22 may issue a direct arrival instruction to the elevator 4, so that the elevator 4 executes the direct arrival instruction to move to a floor where the AED calling device 21 that sends the call signal is located. If the elevator 4 is determined to not in motion, the elevator controlling device 22 may issue a priority arrival instruction to the elevator 4, so that the elevator 4 executes the priority arrival instruction to stop at a default floor and then to move to a floor where the AED calling device 21 that sends the call signal is located.

In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, the elevator controlling 22 may notify at least one of a control center 3 and a prompt device 26. For example, in response to the call signal of the AED calling device 21, the elevator controlling device 22 notifies the control center 3 of the floor where the AED calling device 22 that sends the call signal is located, and personnel can be dispatched to the floor to assist. In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the prompt device 26 is notified by the elevator controlling device 22 to generate a prompt indicating that the elevator 4 will arrive directly or arrive with priority. For example, text alerts or audio alerts can be displayed on a screen or loudspeaker in the elevator, so that passengers in the elevator 4 are awarded that there is an emergency situation and the elevator 4 must first deliver the AED 1 to the desired floor.

In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the elevator controlling device 22 generally executes a call instruction of an elevator calling device 41 disposed outside of the elevator 4 or a designation instruction of a floor designation device disposed inside the elevator 4 (not shown). However, the call instruction of the elevator calling device 41 or the designation instruction of the floor designation device is suspended when the elevator 4 executes the above- mentioned direct arrival instruction or the priority arrival instruction. Also, the call instruction of the elevator calling device 41 or the designation instruction of the floor designation device is not executed until the elevator 4 completes executing the direct arrival instruction or the priority arrival instruction and after the elevator controlling device 22 receives a detection signal that the AED 1 has not been present for a period of time.

In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the aforementioned default floor is determined by the elevator controlling device 22 based on the call instruction of the elevator calling device 41, the designation instruction of the floor designation device, and the position of the elevator 4. For instance, the elevator controlling device 22 generally generates a schedule of elevator stopping sequence based on the call instruction of the elevator calling device 41 and/or the designation instruction of the floor designation device. For example, the designation instruction of the floor designation device and the call instruction of the elevator calling device 41 of each floor are compared with the location of the elevator 4, and the designation instruction of the floor designation device and the call instruction of the elevator calling device 41 of each floor above the location of the elevator 4 set the elevator 4 to go up, and the designation instruction of the floor designation device and the call instruction of the elevator calling device 41 of each floor below the location of the elevator 4 set the elevator 4 to go down, so as to determine the schedule of elevator stopping sequence. Therefore, if the elevator 4 is in motion and the elevator controlling device 22 receives the call signal of the AED calling device 21, the elevator controlling device 22 in response to the call signal of the AED calling device 21 determines a scheduled floor in the schedule of elevator stopping sequence as the default floor and then stops the elevator 4 at the default floor, the elevator 4 thereby arrives with priority at the scheduled floor in the schedule of elevator stopping sequence. For example, the AED calling device 21 on the twelfth floor sends a call signal when the elevator 4 is going up, and the eighth floor is the default floor in the schedule of elevator stopping sequence. The elevator 4 is controlled by the elevator controlling device 22 to stop with priority on the eighth floor without opening the elevator door, and then moves to the twelfth floor directly.

In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, a nearest floor closest to the location of the elevator 4 may be determined as the default floor by the elevator controlling device 22. For example, when the elevator 4 reaches the eighth floor and is going up, the AED calling device 21 on the twelfth floor sends a call signal. By the determination of the elevator controlling device 22, the elevator 4 is controlled to dock at the ninth or tenth floor without opening the elevator door, and then move to the twelfth floor directly.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, in at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, the system 100 for controlling the elevator 4 equipped with the AED 1 further includes an electronic paper 23 disposed outside the elevator 4. The electronic paper 23 change messages with the electricity, but requires no electricity at usual to display information by reflecting ambient light. As shown in FIG. 2, in some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the electronic paper 23 and the AED calling device 21 may be disposed near the elevator calling device 41 on each floor. The electronic paper 23 normally displays whether the elevator 4 is equipped with the AED 1. When a power outage or a malfunction in the power supply circuit causes the elevator 4 not to deliver the AED 1, the electronic paper 23 may indicate the location of the floor where the elevator 4 stops. As such, personnel who need to obtain the AED 1 can reach the floor where the elevator 4 stops as soon as possible and obtain AEDs favorably, thereby avoiding the regrettable situation that the elevator 4 is unable to deliver AEDs and is too late for medical treatment.

Referring to FIG. 1 again, in some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the system 100 for controlling the elevator 4 equipped with the AED 1 further includes a charging device 27 for charging a battery of a battery of the AED 1 and a battery detection device 28 for detecting the electric quantity of the battery of the AED 1. They maintain and ensure the AED 1 is in working condition at usual.

Next, referring to FIG. 1 together with FIGs. 3A to 3C, in some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the system 100 for controlling the elevator 4 equipped with the AED 1 further includes an AED detection device 24 electrically connected to the AED 1, an alert device 25 for electrically connected to the AED detection device 24, and an AED storage device 10 for housing the AED 1.

As shown in FIG. 3B, in at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, the AED storage device 10 may include a storage device body 200 for housing the AED 1 therein, a fixing member 11 for fixing the AED 1 in the storage dive body 200, a support member 12 disposed adjacent to an opening of the storage device body 200, a handle 13 and an attachment 14. As shown in FIG. 3C, in some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the AED storage device 10 is disposed near the ceiling inside the elevator 4 and designed as a soft package. The attachment 14, such as a hook and loop fastener (i.e., velcro), is disposed at the opening of the AED storage device 10, so that the AED 1 can be removed from the AED storage device 10 by pulling down the handle 13 to open it without additional electricity. As shown in FIG. 1, in at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, the AED detection device 24 is electrically connected to the AED 1 and the elevator controlling device 22. In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the AED detection device 24 is configured to detect whether the AED 1 leaves its original position, for issuing an AED detection signal when detecting the AED 1 leaving its original position. And in response to the AED detection signal from the AED detection device 24, the alert device 25 issues an alert or the elevator controlling device 22 issues a notification to the control center 3, alternatively. In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the alert device 25 issues an alert or the elevator controlling device 22 issues a notification to the control center 3 at the same time.

As shown in FIGs. 3Ato 3C, in at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, the AED detection device 24 may be, for example, a pair of magnetic energized fasteners 24A, 24B. A magnetic energized fastener 24B is disposed on the AED 1, and the other magnetic energized fastener 24Ais disposed an inner counterpart of the storage device body 200. In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the fixing member 11 may be, for example, a hook and loop binding strip, and the attachment 14 may be, for example, a hook and loop binding patch. As shown in FIG. 3B, in some embodiments according to the present disclosure, the opening of the AED storage device 10 closes by using the attachment 14. Also, the AED detection device 24 does not issue an AED detection signal when it is powered up due to the pair of magnetic energized fasteners 24A, 24B in contact with each other. As shown in FIG. 3C, in some embodiments according to the present disclosure, by operating the handle 13, the opening of the AED storage device 10 opens. Meanwhile, the fixing member 11 fixes the AED 1 and the support member 12 support the AED 1 so that the AED 1 does not slide out when the opening of the AED storage device 10 opens. In addition, the AED detection device 24 issues an AED detection signal when the AED detection 24 is powered off due to the separation of the pair of magnetic energized fasteners 24 A, 24B. Upon receiving the AED detection signal or after receiving for a certain period of time (e.g., ten seconds or longer), the elevator controlling device 22 can notify the control center 3, whereby releasing the alert from the alert device25 and return to a non-emergency state.

Referring to FIG. 4, it shows a flow chart depicting a method for controlling an elevator equipped with an AED. In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, the method includes steps S210 to S206 as shown.

In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, at step S201, an elevator controlling device 22 may receive a call signal sent by an AED calling device 21 being triggered.

In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, at step S202, the elevator controlling device 22 may determine whether the elevator 4 is in motion. In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, if the elevator 4 is determined not to be in motion, proceed to step S203; if the elevator 4 is determined to be in motion, proceed to step S204. In an embodiment according to the present disclosure, in response to the call signal of the AED calling device 21, the elevator controlling device 22 notifies a prompt device 26 inside the elevator 4 and a control center 3 simultaneously or later.

In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, at step S203, the elevator controlling device 22 may issue a direct arrival instruction to cause the elevator 4 to execute the direct arrival instruction, that is, the elevator 4 directly arrives at a floor where the AED calling device 21 that sends the call signal is located. It then proceeds to step S205.

In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, at step S204, the elevator controlling device 22 may issue a priority arrival instruction to cause the elevator 4 to execute the priority arrival instruction, that is to say, the elevator 4 arrives with priority at a floor where the AED calling device 21 that sends the call signal is located. In other words, the elevator 4 stops at a default floor first and then arrives at the floor where the AED calling device 21 that sends the call signal is located. It then proceeds to step S205. In some embodiments according to the present application, the elevator 4 operates in the original manner for moving to the first order of the default floor, and when the elevator 4 reaches the default floor, the elevator door does not open, but instead moves directly to the floor where the AED calling device 21 is pressed so as to avoid any accidental damage to the elevator equipment or discomfort caused to the passengers inside the elevator 4 by a sudden stop. The elevator 4 does not stop at any floors during the move to the default floor. In addition, said first order of the default floor refers to the means that, for example, a schedule of elevator stopping sequence is generated by the elevator controlling device 22 based on a call instruction of an elevator calling device 21 outside the elevator 41 and/or a designation instruction of a floor designation device, and the elevator controlling device 22 determines a scheduled floor (e.g., the first order) in the schedule of elevator stopping sequence as the default floor. Alternatively, instead of operating accordingly to the schedule of elevator stopping sequence, the elevator controlling device 22 determines a nearest floor closest to the location of the elevator 4 as the default floor.

In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, at step S205, the elevator 4 may complete the priority arrival instruction or the direct arrival instruction. It then proceeds to step S206.

In at least one embodiment according to the present disclosure, at step S206, after the elevator controlling device 22 receives an AED detection signal indicating that the elevator 4 leaves its original position, the elevator 4 may execute a call instruction of an elevator calling device or a designation instruction of a floor designation device. It should be noted that when executing the direct arrival instruction or the priority arrival instruction, the elevator 4 does not execute, in principle, a call instruction of an elevator calling device outside the elevator 4 or a designation instruction of a floor designation device inside the elevator. Instead, after the execution of the direct arrival instruction or the priority arrival instruction is completed and after an AED detection signal indicating that the elevator 4 leaves its original position is received by the elevator controlling device 22, the elevator 4 executes the call instruction of the elevator calling device or the designation instruction of the floor designation device. In addition, in some embodiments according to the present disclosure, an AED detection device 24 is electrically connected to the AED 1 to send the AED detection signal. In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, in a non-emergency, the AED 1 is stored in an AED storage device 10. In other embodiments according to the present disclosure, in case of emergency, a user may open the AED storage device 10 to take out the AED 1 , meanwhile, the AED detection device 24 detects that the AED 1 leaves its original position so as to send an AED detection signal indicating that the AED 1 leaves its original position.

In view of the above, according to the system and method for controlling the elevator equipped the AED, the cost of locating AED on each floor and the time for personnel to go back and forth between the patient and the AED are saved. In some embodiments, taking into account the safety of the passengers and the condition of the patient to be rescued, the present disclosure may notify the building or remote control center in real time and display real time messages to reassure the passengers in the elevator. In still some embodiments, a pair of magnetic energized fasteners electrically connected to the AED may notify the control center when the AED is taken out. In the event that the elevator docks and the AED is moved longer than a preset time, the elevator returns to a non-emergency state and operates normally.

The above embodiments are provided for illustrating the principles of the present disclosure and its technical effect, and should not be construed as to limit the present disclosure in any way. The above embodiments can be modified by one of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, the scope claimed of the present disclosure should be defined by the following claims.
