As shown in
The elevator cabin 120 does not land at every floor of the building. For example, when moving up, the elevator cabin 120 does not land at floor 2 and floor 3, and when moving down, it does not land at floor 2. It will be understood that the specific non-landing floor can be determined in advance according to the situation in the building, the elevator group control scheduling management strategy and other factors, for example, when floor m is a dummy landing station (or “blind floor”), the elevator cabin certainly could not land at this floor m; it will also be understood that different elevator cabins 120 (e.g. different elevator cabins in the same elevator system 10) may have different landing strategies correspondingly, i.e. they may be arranged to have different stoppable floors; in the embodiments below, different stoppable floor information sets 20 can be configured for different elevator cabins 120; moreover, each elevator cabin 120 can be assigned with a corresponding ID (such as a unique identifier), so that different elevator cabins can be distinguished from each other, and the ID can also be used in the process of configuring the stoppable floor information set to make the stoppable floor information set correspond to the respective elevator cabins.

The first Bluetooth module 130 and the second Bluetooth module 150 can both interact with a personal mobile terminal 170. The personal mobile terminal 170 can be installed with corresponding application components (e.g. APPs) to automatically realize corresponding functions, for example, automatically sending elevator call requests about the elevator call direction (such as “upward” elevator call request or “downward” elevator call request) when entering the landing station area, and automatically sending requests of registering the destination floor when entering the elevator cabin 120. Correspondingly, the first Bluetooth module 130 automatically establishes a first Bluetooth connection with the personal mobile terminal 170 (for example, when the passenger basically enters the elevator cabin 120) based on the first Bluetooth signal, and receives the request of registering the destination floor sent from the personal mobile terminal 170 after establishing the first Bluetooth connection; the second Bluetooth module 150 can automatically establish a second Bluetooth connection with the personal mobile terminal 170 and receive the elevator call request about the elevator call direction sent from the personal mobile terminal 170 after the second Bluetooth connection is established. Therefore, a passenger 90 can use the carried personal mobile terminal 170 to perform the elevator call operation automatically or in a hand-free manner, which greatly improves the passenger's experience in the elevator call operation.
Still referring to
In one embodiment, the first Bluetooth module 130 installed inside the elevator cabin 120 is used to obtain the landing floor information corresponding to the elevator cabin 120; therefore, the elevator control device 190 controls the elevator cabin 120 to land at each stoppable floor, and the first Bluetooth module 130 can obtain all the landing floor information of the elevator cabin 120. The obtained landing floor information can be used to configure the stoppable floor information set 20 of the elevator cabin 120.
Specifically, the first Bluetooth module 130 and the second Bluetooth module 150 may be Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) modules, which can broadcast BLE signals, respectively. It shall be understood that the wireless signal modules in the elevator system 10 are not limited to the Bluetooth modules in the above examples, but they can also be other types of wireless beacons, for example.
Still referring to
In another embodiment, the first Bluetooth module 130 itself can also automatically build the stoppable floor information set 20 corresponding to the elevator cabin 120 based on the obtained landing floor information, for example, all the landing floor information is used to build the stoppable floor information set 20; correspondingly, the first Bluetooth module 130 directly sends the stoppable floor information set 20 to the handheld terminal 160 with which it has established the Bluetooth connection, and the handheld terminal 160 is granted the corresponding right to verify the currently received stoppable floor information set 20, for example, to verify whether the elements in the stoppable floor information set 20 are correct. In the case that the elements are confirmed correct, the stoppable floor information set 20 is determined as the stoppable floor information set that can be used in the subsequent elevator calling process.
Still referring to
The storage end 290 can store the stoppable floor information set 20 according to the corresponding elevator cabin 120, for example, the IDs of multiple elevator cabins 120 are respectively associated with multiple stored stoppable floor information sets 20. In this way, a certain elevator cabin 20 of the elevator system 10 is configured with a corresponding stoppable floor information set 20 at the storage end 290.
The storage end 290 can also establish a wireless connection with the personal mobile terminal 170, thus, very conveniently obtaining the stoppable floor information set 20. The storage end 290 can provide, in the form of a cloud server, the stoppable floor information set 20 corresponding to the elevator cabin 120 that can be downloaded and acquired by the personal mobile terminal 170. Therefore, when downloading and installing an elevator calling application component or scanning an ID (e.g. a QR code) of the corresponding elevator cabin 120 in the elevator landing station area, for example, the personal mobile terminal 170 can download and acquire the stoppable floor information set 20 corresponding to the ID of a certain elevator cabin 120 from the storage end 290, and then the personal mobile terminal 170 can automatically send the request of registering the destination floor to the wireless signal module (e.g. the first Bluetooth module 130) based on the accurate stoppable floor information set 20, thus avoiding sending the wrong request of destination floor.
The storage end 290 can be, but is not limited to, the cloud server. The stoppable floor information sets 20 of many elevator cabins of multiple elevator systems 290 are stored in one cloud server, which costs less. In still another specific embodiment, the storage end 290 can also be arranged in the elevator system 10, for example, in the wireless signal module (e.g. the first Bluetooth module 130 or the second Bluetooth module 150), and the personal mobile terminal 170 can obtain the corresponding stoppable floor information set 20 from the first Bluetooth module 130 or the second Bluetooth module 150 upon establishing a wireless connection with the wireless signal module.
It shall be understood that in other embodiments, the storage end 290 can also send, for example, an updated stoppable floor information set 20 (if the personal mobile terminal 170 has already stored the existing stoppable floor information set 20 of a certain elevator cabin 120) to the personal mobile terminal 170 by pushing way, so that the storage end 290 enables the personal mobile terminal 170 to download the stoppable floor information set 20.
In the elevator system 10 of the above example, after the installation of the elevator system 10, for example, the maintenance personnel 91 carries the handheld terminal 160 to enter the elevator cabin 120, and the elevator control device 190 controls the elevator cabin 120 to move in the elevator shaft 110 and land at each of the stoppable floors. In this way, the first Bluetooth module 130 and the handheld terminal 160 can automatically and accurately obtain each landing floor information, and the handheld terminal 160 does not need the maintenance personnel 91 to manually input the landing floor information, which avoids errors that are liable to occur in the manual input process. After the elevator cabin 120 has landed at all stoppable floors, all the landing floor information will have been obtained, and the handheld terminal 160 can automatically build the stoppable floor information set 20 corresponding to the elevator cabin 120 based on all the landing floor information and provide it to the storage end 290 for the passenger 92 to download. Therefore, each elevator cabin 120 can be accurately configured with a corresponding stoppable floor information set 20, which can avoid that the stoppable floor information set 20 contains wrong information of the actually non-landing floor (for example, if the maintenance personnel 91 manually inputs the stoppable floor information set 20 at the web page end, the stoppable floor information set 20 may contain the wrong information of the actually non-landing floor due to input errors). In addition, few operations are performed by the maintenance personnel 91, the labor cost is low, and requirements on operations of the maintenance personnel 91 are also low. Furthermore, when the personal mobile terminal 170 of the passenger 92 uses the accurate stoppable floor information set 20 for automatic elevator calling, the elevator calling problem caused by inconsistency between the floor information contained in the stoppable floor information set 20 and the actually landed floor can be avoided, thus greatly improving the passenger's experience in elevator calling.
It should be noted that the above process of configuring the stoppable floor information set 20 can be completed in one round-trip travel of the elevator cabin 120, or in multiple round-trip travels.
It shall be understood that in the above embodiment, the operations related to the configuration of the stoppable floor information set 20 performed by the first Bluetooth module 130 can also be performed alternatively by the second Bluetooth module 150, for example, the landing floor information is obtained and sent to the handheld terminal 160 by the second Bluetooth module 150; when it is realized by the second Bluetooth module 150, the maintenance personnel may need to come out of the elevator cabin 120 at each landing station to establish a Bluetooth connection with the second Bluetooth module 150, so the operation is less convenient.
In one embodiment, the personal mobile terminal 170 can be realized by a smart phone, a wearable smart device (such as a smart bracelet, etc.), a personal digital assistant (PAD), etc., and corresponding application components (such as APPs) can be installed on the personal mobile terminal 170 to realize the function of automatic elevator calling. The personal mobile terminal 170 may also be provided with a corresponding Bluetooth communication module, so as to be able to automatically establish Bluetooth connection with the first Bluetooth module 130 or the second Bluetooth module 150.
In one embodiment, as shown in
It will be understood that the second Bluetooth module 150 installed in the elevator landing station area can also be implemented by a structure similar to that of the first Bluetooth module 130.
In one embodiment, referring to
It shall be noted that in some application scenarios, the actual stoppable floors of the elevator cabin 120 will change, for example, floor 2 is originally unstoppable but is changed into stoppable, in this case, it is necessary to update the existing stoppable floor information set 20 to obtain the changed accurate stoppable floor information set 20. The elevator system 10 of the above embodiment can also automatically update the stoppable floor information set 20, which has substantially the same principle as building a new stoppable floor information set 20. For example, the stoppable floor information set 20 of the corresponding elevator cabin 120 is also updated based on the landing floor information obtained by the first Bluetooth module 130. If the actual stoppable floors of the elevator cabin 120 changes, the first Bluetooth module 130 compares all the obtained landing floor information with the existing stoppable floor information set 20 to learn so as to determine or find out that a certain piece of obtained landing floor information does not correspond to any stoppable floor object in the existing or configured stoppable floor information set 20, or to determine or find out that a certain stoppable floor object in the existing stoppable floor information set 20 does not correspond to any of the landing floor information obtained by the first Bluetooth module 130. A machine learning algorithm, for example, may be installed in the first Bluetooth module 130 to monitor the change of the landing floor information relative to the existing or configured stoppable floor information set, thereby realize the above process. During updating, if a landing floor information does not correspond to the stoppable floor object of the existing stoppable floor information set, the landing floor information will be added as stoppable floor object into the existing stoppable floor information set through the first Bluetooth module 130 or the handheld terminal 160, thus forming the updated stoppable floor information set corresponding to the elevator cabin 120; if a certain stoppable floor object in the existing stoppable floor information set does not correspond to any of the landing floor information obtained by the first Bluetooth module 130, the stoppable floor object will be deleted from the existing stoppable floor information set by the first Bluetooth module 130 or the handheld terminal 160, thus forming the updated stoppable floor information set corresponding to the elevator cabin 120. In this way, the stoppable floor information set 20 at the storage end 290 can be updated in time to ensure that it is consistent with the actually stoppable floors of the elevator cabin 120.
In one embodiment, the stoppable floor information set includes a set of upward stoppable floors information and/or a set of downward stoppable floors information. The set of upward stoppable floors information can be used to register the destination floor when the personal mobile terminal 92 calls an elevator up, and the set of downward stoppable floors information can be used to register the destination floor when the personal mobile terminal 92 calls an elevator down. The configuration principle of the set of upward stoppable floors information or the set of downward stoppable floors information is basically the same as that of the stoppable floor information set. For example, the set of upward stoppable floors information/the set of downward stoppable floors information is obtained by the following process: firstly, the elevator cabin 120 is controlled by the elevator control device 190 to move upward/downward in the elevator shaft and to land at each upward/downward stoppable floor; secondly, the landing floor information is obtained by the first Bluetooth module 130, and the set of upward stoppable floors information/the set of downward stoppable floors information corresponding to the elevator cabin is configured based on the obtained landing floor information.

In step S520, the wireless signal module (e.g. the first Bluetooth module 130 or the second Bluetooth module 150) of the elevator system 10 is used to obtain the landing floor information, specifically from the elevator control device 190.
In step S530, the landing floor information is sent to the handheld terminal 160 in the elevator cabin 120. In this step, transmission of the landing information can be realized by, for example, the first Bluetooth module 130. In other embodiments, this step can also be omitted if the stoppable floor information set 20 is to be updated and the landing floor information has not changed.
In step S540, the obtained landing floor information is determined as the stoppable floor object corresponding to elevator cabin 120. In this step, the determination operation can be performed by the input/output component 164 of the handheld terminal 160. Through this manual determination operation, the wrong landing floor information can be excluded from the stoppable floor information set 20.
In step S550, the elevator control device 190 determines whether a landing has been made at all the stoppable floors. If “no”, return to step S510 to further collect stoppable floor objects of other floors until the result of determination is “yes”, and then enter step S560.
In step S560, the stoppable floor information set corresponding to the elevator cabin 120 is built. In this step, the data set is built based on all the obtained stoppable floor objects, which can be automatically performed by the handheld terminal 160.
In step S570, the stoppable floor information set 20 is wirelessly sent to the storage end 290 through the handheld terminal 160, and the stoppable floor information set 20 is stored in the storage end 290, so that configuration of the stoppable floor information set 20 of the elevator cabin 120 can be completed.
The method of configuring the stoppable floor information set in the above embodiment can be implemented in the maintenance process after the installation of the elevator system 10, or in the maintenance process after the stoppable floors of the elevator cabin 120 have changed.
Referring to
In step S620, the wireless signal module (e.g. the first Bluetooth module 130 or the second Bluetooth module 150) of the elevator system 10 is used to obtain the landing floor information, specifically from the elevator control device 190.
In step S630, the stoppable floor information set corresponding to the elevator cabin 120 is built based on the landing floor information. In this step, the data set is built based on all the obtained landing floor information, which can be automatically performed by, for example, the first Bluetooth module 130.
In step S640, the stoppable floor information set is sent to the handheld terminal 160 in the elevator cabin 120. In this step, transmission of the stoppable floor information set can be realized by, for example, the first Bluetooth module 130. In other embodiments, this step can also be omitted if the stoppable floor information set 20 is to be updated and the stoppable floor information set has not changed.
In this step, the handheld terminal 160 can be used to display the received stoppable floor information set and receive instruction inputs of the maintenance personnel so as to determine whether the stoppable floor information set is correct, thereby ensuring consistency between the stoppable floor information set 20 and the actually stoppable floors.
In step S650, the stoppable floor information set 20 is wirelessly transmitted to the storage end 290 through the handheld terminal 160, and the stoppable floor information set 20 is stored in the storage end 290, so that configuration of the stoppable floor information set 20 of the elevator cabin 120 can be completed.
Compared to the method of configuring the stoppable floor information set in the embodiment of
Referring to
For example, if the actual stoppable floors of the elevator cabin 120 change, the first Bluetooth module 130 compares all the obtained landing floor information (e.g. all landing floor information of a certain period of time at present obtained by statistical learning) with the existing stoppable floor information set 20 to learn so as to determine or find out that a certain piece of obtained landing floor information does not correspond to any stoppable floor object in the existing stoppable floor information set 20, or to determine or find out that a certain stoppable floor object in the existing stoppable floor information set does not correspond to any of the landing floor information obtained by the first Bluetooth module 130.
In step S720, the stoppable floor information set 20 is updated based on the change.
Specifically, if the landing floor information does not correspond to the stoppable floor object of the existing stoppable floor information set, the landing floor information will be added as stoppable floor object into the existing stoppable floor information set through the first Bluetooth module 130 or the handheld terminal 160, thus forming the updated stoppable floor information set corresponding to the elevator cabin 120; if a certain stoppable floor object in the existing stoppable floor information set does not correspond to any of the landing floor information obtained by the first Bluetooth module 130, the stoppable floor object will be deleted from the existing stoppable floor information set by the first Bluetooth module 130 or the handheld terminal 160, thus forming the updated stoppable floor information set 20 corresponding to the elevator cabin 120.
In this way, the stoppable floor information set 20 at the storage end 290 can be updated in time to ensure that it is consistent with the actually stoppable floors of the elevator cabin 120.
