Definitions

  • the technology described herein relates generally to a building system that performs one or more services within a building.
  • embodiments of the technology relate to a building system that includes an elevator system and a method for operating such a building system.
  • Building systems can be designed in a wide variety of ways for a wide variety of applications.
  • the building system can include an access control system which, for example, controls access to a restricted-access zone (e.g. building entrance or floor corridors with access to elevators).
  • a restricted-access zone e.g. building entrance or floor corridors with access to elevators.
  • users who want to use the service of the access control system can identify themselves as authorized in different ways, e.g. B. with a key, a magnetic, chip or RFID card or a mobile electronic device (e.g. mobile phone).
  • the building system may also or alternatively include an elevator system installed in the building.
  • a user can e.g. B. enter an elevator call at a floor call terminal in order to be transported from a boarding floor to a destination floor.
  • the elevator system and the access control system can be designed in such a way that an elevator call is initiated when the user is granted access; the elevator call can be made to a specified destination floor that is stored in a user profile created for the user.
  • the building system ie in particular the elevator system and/or the access control system, is designed to make the services available efficiently in order to keep waiting times and accumulations of users (possibly crowds) as low as possible. Nevertheless, there can be accumulations of users. Such accumulations in the building can cause occupants to feel unwell and, if a occupant with an infectious disease is among them disease, aid in the spread of viruses and bacteria. There is therefore a need for a building system that avoids these disadvantages as much as possible in order to increase user-friendliness.
  • One aspect of such technology relates to a building system for a building in which an elevator system is installed and comprised by the building system. At least a first waiting zone and a second waiting zone accessible from the first waiting zone for users of the elevator system are specified for the building. The second waiting zone is located in an access area to an elevator of the elevator system.
  • the building system includes a call input device that is designed to receive an elevator call from a user who is in or in a specified area around the first waiting zone.
  • the building system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the call input device. The controller is configured to register an elevator call from the user received by the call input device and to generate a first notification for informing the user, the first notification causing the user to move from the first waiting area to the second waiting area.
  • the control device is also configured to identify an elevator that serves the registered elevator call and to cause the identified elevator to be moved.
  • Another aspect relates to a method of operating a building system for a building in which an elevator system is installed and comprised by the building system. At least one first waiting zone and one second waiting zone accessible from the first waiting zone for passengers in the elevator system are defined for the building.
  • the second waiting zone is located in an access area to an elevator of the elevator system.
  • the method includes receiving an elevator call, entered by means of a call input device, from a user who is in or in a specified area surrounding the first waiting zone, by a control device that is communicatively connected to the call input device.
  • the method also includes the control device generating a first notification to inform the user, the first notification causing the user to move from the first waiting area to the second waiting area.
  • the method also includes determining, by the control device, an elevator that serves the registered elevator call, and initiating a method for the determined elevator the control device.
  • the technology described here makes it possible to separate users through a multi-stage waiting zone system and to bring them to the elevator system in a controlled manner. This can reduce the risk of crowds or crowds and the associated risk of spreading bacteria and viruses.
  • the comfort of using the building system in particular its elevator system, will be improved for the user. For example, waiting for an elevator in the access zone becomes more pleasant because there are fewer users there and crowding when boarding is avoided. In addition, as a result, fewer users get into an elevator car, possibly only a single user. This means that the users can also have a greater distance from one another in the elevator car.
  • the building system can support the comfort of use by informing the users about the procedure in connection with the waiting zones and the reasons for this by means of a notification.
  • At least two waiting zones are defined for the building, which can be defined depending on the building.
  • two waiting zones are defined in the building, with one of the waiting zones being located in the access area for the elevators.
  • the boarding area is the area on a floor from which users enter or exit an elevator car.
  • the second waiting area is accessible from the first waiting area; this means, for example, that a user should first go to the first waiting zone before he can get to the second waiting zone.
  • the first waiting zone can also be outside the building; this means that a user only gets into the building and thus into the second waiting zone if he is prompted to do so after a call has been input by means of the call input device which takes place outside the building.
  • the control device can generate a notification for the user.
  • the user can be informed to move from the first waiting zone to the second Waiting zone to enter (first notification).
  • the first notification may include information about the detected elevator.
  • the user may be asked to wait in the first waiting area until notified to go to the second waiting area (second notification).
  • the controller generates the second notification before the first notification.
  • first notification and “second notification” are used to distinguish the notifications and their information content from one another. Unless otherwise noted, these notifications express no order.
  • the first notification can be generated immediately after the call has been entered.
  • the user can go to the second waiting area without having to wait in the first waiting area.
  • the second notification may inform the user to wait in the first waiting zone first; the first notification then informs the user that he can move from the first waiting area to the second waiting area.
  • the first notification may include information about the assigned elevator. The user therefore knows early on which elevator is assigned to the call. Those skilled in the art will recognize that the assigned elevator can be communicated to the user in the first or second waiting area.
  • the building system comprises, in one exemplary embodiment, a communication device which is arranged in the second waiting zone or an entrance to the second waiting zone and is communicatively connected to the control device.
  • the control device is designed to actuate the communication device in order to communicate the assigned elevator to the user.
  • the technology described here can be adapted to the requirements of the building. Accordingly, the call input device can be adapted to the building.
  • the call input device can be a radio device for receiving an elevator call entered by a user by means of a mobile communication device (e.g. mobile phone), a reading device for reading an electronic or optical code and/or an input device for manually entering an elevator call.
  • An electronic code can be stored on an RFID card, for example, and an optical code can be printed on a carrier material, for example, or displayed on a mobile phone display.
  • the reading device can have an RFID card reader and/or an optical scanner.
  • the input device for manual input can have a keyboard, which comprises electromechanical keys or is represented by a touch-sensitive screen.
  • the radio device is designed to transmit a notification to the user's mobile communication device, with which the user entered the elevator call.
  • the radio device since the call is entered using the user's mobile communication device, it is not necessary for the user to touch a call device installed in the building.
  • the user receives the request to wait in the first waiting zone by means of the mobile communication device until he is notified to go to the second waiting zone (second notification).
  • the notification may inform the user to go to the second waiting area (first notification);
  • this notification can also include information about the determined or assigned elevator.
  • the transmission option can be provided by means of the mobile communication device in addition to said communication device in the second waiting zone.
  • the convenience of use can be improved by allocating a ticket to each call input.
  • the control device is therefore configured to allocate a ticket to the elevator call that has been entered and to cause the ticket to be transmitted to the user, with the control device in particular controlling the call input device for ticket transmission.
  • the control device in particular controlling the call input device for ticket transmission.
  • the ticket can be designed differently.
  • the call input device can be configured as follows:
  • the ticket can be printed out, e.g. B. as a number or alphanumeric character string on a paper support; in one embodiment it may be displayed, e.g. B. as an optical code (QR or bar code) so that it can be captured by a camera of a mobile device, or the ticket can be transmitted (announced) as a voice message.
  • the ticket can be sent out as a radio signal which is received by the user's mobile radio device within radio range.
  • the building system includes an access control system that includes a lock.
  • the lock is communicatively connected to the control device and is provided at a transition between the first waiting zone and the second waiting zone.
  • the lock is designed to release or block the transition.
  • the lock has a device for detecting a ticket allocated to the received elevator call by the control device.
  • the control device is configured to control the lock in such a way that the transition is released when the recorded ticket corresponds to the ticket that is assigned to the elevator call.
