具体实施方式
现在将参照附图更加完全地描述本发明，附图中示出了本发明的示例性实施例。但是，本发明可按照很多不同的形式实现，并且不应该被理解为限制于这里阐述的实施例。相反，提供这些实施例使得本 公开变得彻底和完整，并将本发明的构思完全传递给本领域技术人员。
附图中所示的一些方框图是功能实体，不一定必须与物理或逻辑上独立的实体相对应。可以采用软件形式来实现这些功能实体，或者在一个或多个硬件模块或集成电路中实现这些功能实体，或者在不同处理装置和/或微控制器装置中实现这些功能实体。
在本文中，为描述的方便，将“用于指引乘客进入正确的电梯轿厢的装置”简称为“指引装置”，将“指引乘客进入正确的电梯轿厢的方法”简称为“指引方法”。
在本文中，“正确的电梯轿厢”是指能够将乘客运送至目的楼层的电梯轿厢，具体例如可以是为该乘客指派的电梯轿厢。将理解，正确的电梯轿厢并不是固定地指某一电梯轿厢或多个电梯轿厢，例如在呼梯操作发生变化的情况下，正确的电梯轿厢很可能也会相应地变化。“进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动”是指乘客从电梯层站区域大致不断接近正确的电梯轿厢并踏入正确的电梯轿厢中的移动，包括朝向正确的电梯轿厢接近的移动过程，也包括踏入正确的电梯轿厢中的移动过程。
在本文中，第一无线信号是相对安装在电梯轿厢中的第一无线信号广播部件来定义的，不同的第一无线信号广播部件所广播的无线信号均称为“第一无线信号”；将理解，多个电梯轿厢中的多个第一无线信号广播部件可以广播多个第一无线信号，并且，多个第一无线信号可以被区分地识别。第二无线信号是相对安装在电梯层站区域中的第二无线信号广播部件来定义的，不同的第二无线信号广播部件所广播的无线信号均称为“第二无线信号”；将理解，不同电梯层站区域中的第二无线信号广播部件可以广播不同第二无线信号。
图1所示为按照本发明一实施例的用于指引乘客进入正确的电梯轿厢的装置的结构示意图。首先需要说明的是，图1所示实施例的指引装置10被安装在本发明一实施例电梯***中，该实施例的电梯***中使用多个电梯轿厢110载送乘客，例如，使用如图1中所示的3个电梯轿厢110-1、110-2、110-3来载送乘客；需要理解的是，电梯轿厢110的数量并不限于为3个，多个电梯轿厢110可以是在不同的井道中上下行进。
如图1所示，指引装置10主要地包括安装在多个电梯轿厢110中的第一无线信号广播部件130，并且其可以借助图1所示的乘客90所 携带的个人移动终端200来部分地实现。其中，每个第一无线信号广播部件130安装在每个电梯轿厢110中，例如，电梯轿厢110-1中设置一个第一无线信号广播部件130-1，电梯轿厢110-2中设置一个第一无线信号广播部件130-2，电梯轿厢110-3中设置一个第一无线信号广播部件130-3。在一实施例中，每个电梯轿厢110中第一无线信号广播部件130可以但不限于安装在电梯轿厢110中的目的楼层登记控制板上，并集成地设置在目的楼层登记控制板上，从而能够与电梯***的电梯控制器建立通信连接(图中未示出)；将理解，第一蓝牙模块130相对目的楼层登记控制板的具体集成设置方式不是限制性的。
每个电梯轿厢110中的第一无线信号广播部件130可以例如通过其上设置的天线或信标(beacon)能够持续地广播第一无线信号131，或者在轿厢门113打开时广播第一无线信号131，作为示例，第一无线信号广播部件130-1广播第一无线信号131-1，第一无线信号广播部件130-2广播第一无线信号131-2，第一无线信号广播部件130-3广播第一无线信号131-3，它们广播的第一无线信号131-1、131-2和131-3可以为相同的信号形式，也可以具有基本相同的信号强度，但是可以被区分地识别。第一无线信号131的信号强度可以随着其广播距离的增加而大致递减或衰减，因此，接收该第一无线信号131的终端可以根据接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度来大致地确定其相对广播该第一无线信号131的第一无线信号广播部件130距离，从而可以根据信号强度的变化大致地确定该距离的变化。第一无线信号131的递减方式不是限制性的，但是其是可以预先地确定的。
在一实施例中，第一无线信号广播部件130可以为蓝牙模块，具体可以为低功耗蓝牙(Bluetooth Low Energy，BLE)模块，相应的，第一无线信号广播部件130发射或广播的第一无线信号131为低功耗蓝牙信号。这样，容易与通过例如智能手机、可穿戴式智能设备、个人数字助理(PAD)等实现的个人移动终端200通信交互，并且能耗低。
在又一实施例中，第一无线信号广播部件130可以为Wifi模块，其广播的第一无线信号131为Wifi无线信号。
在电梯轿厢110停靠在某一层站时，在电梯轿厢110的轿厢门113打开的情况下，第一无线信号131可以广播至该层站对应的电梯层站 区域中，其广播的距离可以根据具体需求而预先地确定。
第一无线信号131为可识别的无线信号，例如，其包括对应安装第一无线信号广播部件131的电梯轿厢110的身份标识(ID)信号，接收该第一无线信号131的个人移动终端200可以根据该ID信息确定该第一无线信号131是从多个电梯轿厢110的哪一个中广播出来。例如，三个不同的电梯轿厢110-1、110-2和110-3中分别广播出来的第一无线信号131-1、131-2和131-3包含有不同的ID信息，从而个人移动终端200可以识别当前接收的第一无线信号131。
继续如图1所示，指引装置10可以包括被每个乘客90分别携带的多个个人移动终端200，或者至少部分地运行于乘客90的个人移动终端200中。图1中示出其中一个乘客90携带的个人移动终端200，例如，其被置放在乘客90的口袋中，但是，应当理解，携带个人移动终端200的乘客90的数量不是限制性的，乘客90携带个人移动终端200的方式也不是限制性的。
在一实施例中，乘客能够通过个人移动终端200手动地或自动地完成呼梯操作，具体自动完成呼梯操作的方式将在下面示例地说明。同时，个人移动终端200将能够接收为该乘客90指派的某个电梯轿厢110，即正确的电梯轿厢，并将其存储在个人移动终端200中。
位于电梯层站区域中的乘客90的个人移动终端200将能够接收从电梯轿厢110中广播出来的第一无线信号131并识别该第一无线信号131。在一实施例中，如果多个电梯轿厢110在同一层站停靠并打开轿厢门113，个人移动终端200可能能够感测到多个电梯轿厢110中广播出来的第一无线信号131，个人移动终端200可以被配置为选择接收信号强度相对较强的第一无线信号131，此时，也表明个人移动终端200与对应该较强的第一无线信号131的电梯轿厢110相对最为接近。
在一实施例中，每个个人移动终端200用于接收并识别多个所述电梯轿厢110的至少一个的第一无线信号广播部件130所广播的第一无线信号131，以及用于确定接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度。具体地，在第一无线信号131为低功耗蓝牙信号时，个人移动终端200具体可以为配置有蓝牙通信模块的智能手机、可穿戴式智能设备(例如智能手环等)、个人数字助理(PAD)等智能终端，蓝牙通信模块选择接收信号强度相对较强的低功耗蓝牙信号，并且通过识别其中的 ID信息来识别该低功耗蓝牙信号，也即确定是从哪个电梯轿厢110中广播出来的低功耗蓝牙信号；个人移动终端200具体还可以配置有接收信号强度指示器(RSSI)来确定其接收的低功耗蓝牙信号或任何其他蓝牙信号的信号强度。
在一实施例中，每个个人移动终端200能够分析接收到的当前的第一无线信号131的强度的变化，例如，大致逐渐变强或大致逐渐地变弱；个人移动终端200还被配置为基于接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度的变化，确定乘客90相对多个电梯轿厢110的其中一个的移动，也即确定相对广播出该第一无线信号131的电梯轿厢110的移动，进而基于上述对ID信息的识别结果判断该移动是否为对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动。
以图1中所示的场景为示例，当三个电梯轿厢110-1、110-2和110-3停靠在乘客90所在的层站时，假设电梯轿厢110-1和110-3的轿厢门113-1和113-3分别打开、电梯轿厢110-2的轿厢门113-2关闭，乘客90能够感测到第一无线信号131-1和131-3，由于乘客90在电梯层站区域中当前所处的位置相对电梯轿厢110-3更近，因此，感测到的第一无线信号131-3强度更强，乘客90中携带的个人移动终端200将选择接收第一无线信号131-3，并且，识别该第一无线信号131-3、以及确定接收的第一无线信号131-3的信号强度。
假设乘客90按照图1所示的虚线方向朝电梯轿厢110-3中移动，个人移动终端200将可以确定接收到的第一无线信号131-3逐渐变强，从而，确定乘客90当前的移动为接近电梯轿厢131-3。
如果电梯轿厢131-3恰好为指派的电梯轿厢，也即对应乘客90的正确的电梯轿厢，那么个人移动终端200可以基于其识别的ID信息来确定该移动所对应的电梯轿厢，例如确定该接近移动是对应于电梯轿厢131-3的接近移动，也即对应为接近正确的电梯轿厢的移动，从而可以判断该移动是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动。
如果电梯轿厢131-1为指派的电梯轿厢(电梯轿厢131-3为非正确的电梯轿厢)，那么个人移动终端200可以基于其识别的ID信息来确定该移动所对应的电梯轿厢，例如确定该接近移动是对应于电梯轿厢131-1的接近移动，也即对应为远离正确的电梯轿厢的移动，从而可以判断该移动不是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动。
个人移动终端200基于以上判断结果，可以发出不同的指引信号，在该实施例中，发出非可视形式的指引信号，这样，乘客90并不需要观看个人移动终端就可以被指引进入正确的电梯轿厢中，实现免伸手(hand-free)的效果，大大方便乘客并提高乘客体验。在一实施例中，指引信号可以是震动信号，也可以是声音提示信号，或者可以是它们二者的结合。
在一实施例中，在判断乘客90的当前移动是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动时，可能乘客90能够确定哪个电梯轿厢110是正确的电梯轿厢，个人移动终端200可以不发出任何的指引信号。在判断乘客90的当前移动不是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动时，个人移动终端200将加强震动信号和/或发出声音提示信号，乘客90在感知该震动信号和/或听到该声音提示信号的情况下，将改变当前的移动；示例地，乘客90改为朝向电梯轿厢131-1(如果电梯轿厢131-1为正确的电梯轿厢的情况下)移动，也即首先作远离电梯轿厢131-3的移动，个人移动终端200的震动信号将逐渐变弱，随后，乘客90的个人移动终端200将接收到第一无线信号131-1，直到进入电梯轿厢131-1，该接近电梯轿厢131-1的移动被检测到并被判断为对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动，个人移动终端200不发出震动信号来阻止乘客90的当前移动，这样，乘客90将被指引进入正确的电梯轿厢中。
继续如图1所示，在一实施例中，指引装置10还包括安装在电梯层站区域的第二无线信号广播部件150，其用于向个人移动终端200发送相应的正确的电梯轿厢的信息。
在一实施例中，第二无线信号广播部件150也作为电梯***的组成部件，用于实现自动呼梯操作功能。在每个电梯层站区域中，可以安装一个或多个第二无线信号广播部件150，例如安装两个，即第二无线信号广播部件150-1和150-2。第二无线信号广播部件150可以持续发射或广播第二无线信号151，例如第二无线信号广播部件150-1和150-2分别广播的第二无线信号151-1和151-2，在个人移动终端200接近第二无线信号广播部件150时，或者一旦进入电梯层站区域410中时，将可以自动地与其中一个第二无线信号广播部件150建立无线通信连接，从而个人移动终端200自动地向第二无线信号广播部件150发送呼梯请求命令，第二无线信号广播部件150接收该呼梯请求命令。 在一示例中，根据个人移动终端200接收的第二无线信号的信号强度确定个人移动终端200相对第二无线信号广播部件150的距离，在小于或等于预定的距离阈值时，个人移动终端200自动地与第二无线信号广播部件150建立无线通信连接。
呼梯请求命令可以为包括呼梯方向和目的楼层的呼梯请求命令，第二无线信号广播部件150可以与电梯***的电梯控制器建立连接，并将该呼梯请求命令自动发送至电梯控制器。电梯控制器用于控制电梯***中的多个电梯轿厢110的运行，例如基于该呼梯请求命令进行调度控制，指派多个电梯轿厢110中的其中一个在乘客90所在的层站停靠并将其载送至相应的目的楼层，被指派的电梯轿厢110也预先地登记乘客90的目的楼层中，例如，在楼层登记控制板上自动登记目的楼层。这样，乘客90可以完全实现自动呼梯操作，并且，可以实现免伸手地完成呼梯操作。
第二无线信号广播部件150广播的第二无线信号可以包括其从电梯控制器接收的指派的电梯轿厢的信息，个人移动终端200可以接收并临时地存储该指派的电梯轿厢的信息。该指派的电梯轿厢的信息在个人移动终端200中将与识别的第一无线信号131对应的电梯轿厢110比对，从而，判断乘客90的当前的移动是否为对应于正确的电梯轿厢的移动。
在乘客90进入正确的电梯轿厢内部后，或者在到达目的楼层后，个人移动终端200可以删除上述临时地存储的指派的电梯轿厢信息。
本发明一实施例的指引装置10结合应用至上述实施例的免伸手地完成呼梯操作的电梯***中时，可以完全实现乘客90从开始呼梯至到达目的楼层的完全免伸手操作，不需要将个人移动终端200从例如口袋中拿出来观看，并且，不易乘错电梯，有利于保证电梯***的运行效率的同时，大大提高乘客的体验。
同时需要说明的是，指引装置10并不限于应用于上述实施例的免伸手地完成呼梯操作的电梯***中，正确的电梯轿厢也不限于是指派的电梯轿厢。在其他应用场景中，示例地，如果图1所示的电梯轿厢110-1是在1至N楼层站之间运行，电梯轿厢110-3在2至N楼不停靠，假如乘客90的目的楼层是(N+1)楼，那么，电梯轿厢110-1将在乘客90的个人移动终端200被设置为非正确的电梯轿厢，电梯轿厢110-3 将在乘客90的个人移动终端200被设置为正确的电梯轿厢，乘客90在1楼接近电梯轿厢110-1时，个人移动终端200将发出或加强震动信号，提醒乘客90当前并不是走入正确的电梯轿厢。
图2示意图1所示实施例的装置在至少部分地通过个人移动终端实现时的模块结构示意图。本发明一实施例的个人移动终端200用于部分地实现如图1所示的指引装置10，其中，个人移动终端200可以包括无线通信模块210、信号识别模块230、移动确定模块250、判断模块270和指引模块290。
在一实施例中，无线通信模块210其用于至少接收可识别的第一无线信号131，其中，所述第一无线信号是从多个电梯轿厢110的其中一个中广播出来，并且第一无线信号131的信号强度随着其广播距离的增加而大致递减。在第一无线信号131为蓝牙信号时，无线通信模块210具体可以为蓝牙通信模块。无线通信模块210可能能够感测到多个电梯轿厢110中广播出来的第一无线信号131，无线通信模块210可以被配置为选择接收信号强度相对较强的第一无线信号131，此时，也表明个人移动终端200与对应该较强的第一无线信号131的电梯轿厢110相对最为接近。
在一实施例中，信号识别模块230用于识别接收的第一无线信号131以确定第一无线信号131是从多个电梯轿厢110的哪一个中广播出来，示例地，通过读取并识别接收的第一无线信号131中的ID信息，来确定该第一无线信号131对应的电梯轿厢110。
在一实施例中，移动确定模块250用于基于接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度的变化确定乘客90相对多个电梯轿厢110的其中一个的移动。移动确定模块250可以设置信号强度确定子模块251，其用来实时地确定接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度，移动确定模块250例如可以通过RSSI实现。移动确定模块250从而可以持续地确定的第一无线信号131的信号强度，获知第一无线信号131的信号强度的变化，例如，逐渐变强还是逐渐变弱。在第一无线信号131的信号强度逐渐变强的情况下，移动确定模块250确定乘客90的当前移动是接近该第一无线信号131对应的电梯轿厢110，在第一无线信号131的信号强度逐渐变弱的情况下，移动确定模块250确定乘客90的当前移动是远离该第一无线信号131对应的电梯轿厢110。这样，可以根据第一无 线信号131的强弱变化来确定乘客90相对第一无线信号131对应的电梯轿厢110的移动方向。
在一实施例中，判断模块270用于基于识别结果判断所述移动是否为对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动；具体地，识别的第一无线信号131所对应的电梯轿厢是存储于个人移动终端200中的正确的电梯轿厢，那么该移动是对应于正确的电梯轿厢的移动，如果该移动时接近该电梯轿厢的移动，那么进一步可以确定对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动。
在一实施例中，指引模块270用于基于判断模块270的判断结果、通过震动信号的变化和/或声音提示信号来指引乘客90进入正确的电梯轿厢。在判断乘客90的当前移动是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动时，可能乘客90能够确定哪个电梯轿厢110是正确的电梯轿厢，个人移动终端200可以不发出任何的指引信号。在判断乘客90的当前移动不是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动时，指引模块270将加强震动信号和/或发出声音提示信号，乘客90在感知该震动信号和/或听到该声音提示信号的情况下，将改变当前的移动；示例地，如图1所示，乘客90改为朝向电梯轿厢131-1(如果电梯轿厢131-1为正确的电梯轿厢的情况下)移动，也即首先作远离电梯轿厢131-3的移动，个人移动终端200的震动信号将逐渐变弱，随后，乘客90的个人移动终端200将接收到第一无线信号131-1，直到进入电梯轿厢131-1，该接近电梯轿厢131-1的移动被检测到并被判断为对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动，个人移动终端200不发出震动信号来阻止乘客90的当前移动，这样，乘客90将被指引进入正确的电梯轿厢中。
图3所示为按照本发明一实施例的指引乘客进入正确的电梯轿厢的方法的流程图。图3所示实施例的指引方法可以在个人移动终端200中执行完成，结合图1至图3，对本发明实施例的指引方法进行说明。
首先，步骤S310，接收可识别的第一无线信号。在一实施例中，携带个人移动终端200的乘客90位于电梯层站区域中等候电梯时，电梯轿厢110的任何一个的轿厢门113打开时，无线通信模块210将可以感测到该电梯轿厢110中广播出来的第一无线信号131，进一步选择接收信号强度最强的第一无线信号，也即，与该第一无线信号131对应的第一无线信号广播部件130建立连接。
接收到的第一无线信号可以被识别，也即步骤S320，该步骤可以在个人移动终端200的信号识别模块230中完成。
同时，完成对接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度确定，也即步骤S330，该步骤可以在个人移动终端200的信号强度确定子模块251中完成。
进一步，步骤S340，基于接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度的变化确定乘客90相对多个电梯轿厢110的其中一个的移动，也即确定乘客90当前相对第一无线信号131对应的电梯轿厢110的移动，例如，当接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度不断变强时，确定乘客90当前的移动为接近该第一无线信号131对应的电梯轿厢110，反之，则远离该电梯轿厢110。该步骤S340可以在个人移动终端200的移动确定模块250中完成。
进一步，步骤S350，基于步骤S320中的识别结果，判断步骤S340中确定的移动是否为对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动。具体地，通过识别结果对应的电梯轿厢，也即步骤S340中确定的移动所对应的电梯轿厢；将识别结果对应的电梯轿厢与临时存储的正确的电梯轿厢比较，如果相同，则该移动对应于正确的电梯轿厢的移动，进一步如果该移动是接近电梯轿厢，则该移动是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动；否则，判断该移动不是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动。该步骤S350可以在个人移动终端200的判断模块270中完成。
步骤S350中如果判断为“是”，进入步骤S370，不发出震动信号和/或声音提示信号，也即不通过指引信号来阻止乘客90的当前移动。在其他实施例中，当然也可以发出提示乘客移动进入正确的电梯轿厢的声音提示信号，或者减弱震动信号来提示乘客越来越接近正确的电梯轿厢。
步骤S350中如果判断为“否”，进入步骤S360，发出或加强震动信号和/或发出声音提示信号，该信号是用来指引乘客进入正确的电梯轿厢。具体地，乘客90在该强震动信号和/或声音提示信号的提示下，乘客90很可能改变移动，即步骤S380，进一步，返回执行步骤S310至S350，直到乘客90改为朝向正确的电梯轿厢移动、步骤S350中判断为“是”为止。
上述步骤S360和S370可以在个人移动终端200的指引模块290 中完成。
以步骤S310至步骤S370均可以在个人移动终端200的熄屏状态下完成，无需乘客90观看或者操作个人移动终端200
图4所示为按照本发明又一实施例的指引乘客进入正确的电梯轿厢的方法的流程图。图4所示实施例的指引方法可以在指引装置10中执行完成，结合图1和图4，对本发明实施例的指引方法进行说明。
首先，步骤S410，电梯轿厢110中的第一无线信号广播部件130广播可识别的第一无线信号131。第一无线信号广播部件130可以持续地广播第一无线信号131，也可以在该电梯轿厢110的轿厢门113打开时才广播该第一无线信号131。在轿厢门113打开的情况下，该第一无线信号131可以被广播至电梯轿厢110之外的电梯层站区域中，从而可以被电梯层站区域中乘客90的个人移动终端200接收并识别，即步骤S420。
进一步，步骤S430，个人移动终端200确定接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度确定。
进一步，步骤S440，基于接收的第一无线信号131的信号强度的变化确定乘客90相对多个电梯轿厢110的其中一个的移动，也即确定乘客90当前相对第一无线信号131对应的电梯轿厢110的移动。
进一步，步骤S450，基于步骤S420中的识别结果，判断步骤S440中确定的移动是否为对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动。具体地，通过识别结果对应的电梯轿厢，也即步骤S440中确定的移动所对应的电梯轿厢；将识别结果对应的电梯轿厢与临时存储的正确的电梯轿厢比较，如果相同，则该移动对应于正确的电梯轿厢的移动，进一步如果该移动时接近电梯轿厢，则该移动是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动；否则，判断该移动不是对应于进入正确的电梯轿厢的移动。
步骤S450中如果判断为“是”，进入步骤S470，不发出震动信号和/或声音提示信号，也即不通过指引信号来阻止乘客90的当前移动。在其他实施例中，当然也可以发出提示乘客移动进入正确的电梯轿厢的声音提示信号，或者减弱震动信号来提示乘客越来越接近正确的电梯轿厢。
步骤S450中如果判断为“否”，进入步骤S460，发出或加强震动信号和/或发出声音提示信号，该信号是用来指引乘客进入正确的电梯轿 厢。具体地，乘客90在该强震动信号和/或声音提示信号的提示下，乘客90很可能改变移动，即步骤S380，进一步，返回执行步骤S410至S450，直到乘客90改为朝向正确的电梯轿厢移动、步骤S350中判断为“是”为止。
因此，通过上述图3和图4所示实施例的指引方法，乘客90可以被方便地指引进入正确的电梯轿厢，可以避免乘客进入非正确的电梯轿厢，提高电梯***的运行效率。
