The beneficial effects: In example embodiments, the screen produces an image after power on, which affects the light reconstruction in the optical module to generate an image in the air, and then the finger clicks on the image in the air. At this time, the gesture sensor in the device will sense the gesture and send the command to the main board and the main board send one signal to the screen, the screen content changes, and feedback to the user, forming a closed loop of human-computer interaction, and one signal is sent to the elevator control system to tell the control system that someone is going to take the elevator. After the above process, we realize the function of clicking the image in the air to call the elevator to call the floor;


In example embodiments, compared with the existing elevator external call solution, this solution solves the problem of cross-contact infection caused when the elevator external call button is used to call the elevator. Clicking and touching the image in the air does not require actual physical contact, you can realize the function of calling the elevator and avoid the problems caused by indirect contact.
