HK1158601B - Call input device and method for operating a lift system - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a process for operating a lift system according to the general concept of independent patent claim.

It is known that an elevator with a lift-cab is used to transport passengers between floors of a building. To this end, passengers make floor calls or cabin calls to the input devices on the floors or in the elevator cabins. In order to ensure that passengers with disabilities are treated equally, the European Standard 81-70 prescribes a disability-compatible push button. By pressing the disability-compatible push button, the elevator is put into a special operating mode. In this operating mode, elevator doors on the elevator networks or elevator cabins are opened or closed more slowly and passengers with disabilities receive feedback on the call via visible or audible signals.

EP1864933A1 shows an elevator with a dial-in device. The cabin dial-in device has a touch screen with a wheelchair switch. Touching the wheelchair switch on the dial switches the elevator into a special operating mode. The wheelchair switch on the dial does not comply with EN81-70, as it is not tangible by a relief of at least 0.8 mm on the dial, nor can it be switched by a pressure of 2.5N to 5.0N.

Document EP 1864933 A Document D1 (EP 1864933 A) describes a call-in keyboard describes a call-in keyboard with a wheelchair button. This wheelchair button puts the lift system in a special operating mode (column 5, lines 4-9), so that the lift ride can be more comfortable for the person pressing the wheelchair button.

Document JP 2003 261267 A describes a call entry unit with a disabled button, which, when pressed simultaneously with the call button, will operate the lift in a special operating mode.

JP 2001 002331 A describes a call input unit with call inputs and a touch sensor. If a person touches the call input unit under the condition that a call input is pressed within a time interval, it is assumed that a visually impaired person wishes to take a lift ride.

Document EP 1308409 A describes a targeting and access control procedure for an elevator system.

Document EP 1598298 A describes a call entry unit with push-buttons and a touch screen underneath.

As a solution complying with EN81-70, EP1598298A1 teaches the installation of a disabled push button on a touch screen. One side of the disabled push button is clearly recognizable by visually impaired people by Braille characters with a relief height of at least 0.8 mm. By pressing the disabled push button with a pressure of 2.5N to 5.0N, an area of the touch screen below the disabled push button is actuated and a hoot is generated.

The present invention is intended to further develop this cabin call input device, in particular a method for operating a lift system with this cabin call input device.

This task is solved by the invention in accordance with the distinguishing part of the independent patent claim.

The invention is a method for an elevator system with a call input device with at least one keypad for entering at least one call for an elevator system. The keypad has at least one functional indicator. Touching a functional indicator generates at least one input signal. The call input device switches to at least one special input mode for time- or location-based generation of multiple input signals.

This has the advantage that a disabled passenger can more easily participate in social life, maintain social contacts, learn and continue their education and work from a position of employment. Unlike the technique, the disabled passenger does not touch a wheelchair button on an umbrella or press a push-button on an umbrella, but generates several time-oriented or more time-oriented or more or less time-oriented buttons, which is not possible for a normal user to activate a special button on an umbrella, at least in the first call mode, which is not the normal mode.

Beneficial training in the process is described in the claims attached to it.

Figures 1 and 2 show two examples of an elevator system in a building. The building has a larger number of floors S1 to S3 which are served by at least one 6.6' lifting cab. On each floor S1 to S3 a passenger can enter and exit the 6.6' lifting cab through at least one elevator door 11, 11', 12, 12'. In at least one S4' lift shaft, the 6.6' lifting cab is connected via at least one 8.8' lifting medium to a 7.7' counterweight. For the procedure of at least 6.6' and 7.7' lifting medium, the 8.8' lifting medium is moved by at least one 10.10' lifting drive at the end of the friction.Normally, at least one door drive 9,9' is located at the elevator cabin 6,6' and operates the elevator door 11, 11', 12, 12'. At the elevator door 11, 11', 12, 12', a distinction is made between a floor door 11, 11' located on each floor S1 to S3 and a cabin door 12, 12' of the elevator cabin 6, 6'. During a floor hold, the cabin door 12, 12' can be connected to the elevator door 11, 11' by mechanical coupling, so that the opening and closing of the cabin door 12, 12' and the elevator door 11, 11' occur simultaneously.According to Fig. 2 a lifting cabin 6 is arranged in a lift shaft S4. If the person is familiar with the present invention, he can construct a lifting system with more than three floors S1 to S3 or with more than one lifting cabin 6.6' per lift shaft S4, S4' or with a hydraulic drive or with a lifting drive on the lifting cabin or on the counterweight and, of course, a lifting system without counterweight.

At least one of the elevator controls 5, 5' shall have at least one processor and at least one computer-readable data storage device. At least one computer program device shall be loaded and executed from the computer-readable data storage device into the processor. The computer program device shall control the elevator drive 10, 10' and the door drive 9, 9'. At least one of the elevator controls 5, 5' shall have at least one adapter for at least one bus system 2' or at least one adapter for at least one signal line 14, 14' and at least one electrical power supply.

At least one call input device 1, 1 shall be located near a floor door 11, 11' or in an elevator cabin 6 respectively. The call input device 1, 1 shall be mounted on a building wall in the floor door area or be isolated in the floor door area of floors S1 to S3. At least one housing of the call input device 1, 1 shall contain at least one adapter for a bus system 2, 2', at least one input/output device in the form of a keypad 13, at least one speaker 15, at least one microphone 18 and at least one electrical power supply. The call input device 1, 1 shall have at least one processor and at least one computer program reader on the computer reader. At least one computer program reader shall be run in the computer reader and at least one computer program reader shall be loaded in the computer reader and at least one computer program reader may be loaded independently of each other and at least one computer or computer program reader may be loaded independently of the speaker 1, or the computer or the microphone 13 or more.

At least one destination control 4 shall have at least one processor, at least one computer-readable data storage device, at least one adapter for a bus system 2 and at least one electrical power supply. According to Fig. 1, the destination control 4 shall be a stand-alone electronic unit in at least one separate housing, for example, located on floor S3. The destination control 4 may also be an electronic insert, for example in the form of a circuit board, a soft circuit board in the housing of a call input 1, 1' or a lift control 5, 5'.

The call input device 1, 1' and the destination call control 4 or the lift control 5, 5' communicate bidirectionally via a bus system 2, 2' such as a Universal Serial Bus (USB), Local Operating Network (LON), Modbus, Ethernet, etc. In the bus system 2, 2' communication is done according to a known protocol. According to Fig. 1 there are two call input devices 1, each per floor S1 to S3, communicating via the bus system 1' 2 with the destination call control 4. According to Fig. 2 there is one call input device 1 per floor S1 to S3 communicating via a bus system 2' with an elevator control 5 .2' clearly identifiable. The target control 4 and the lift control 5, 5' communicate bidirectionally over a signal line 14, 14'. According to Fig. 1, the target control 4 is communicatively connected to a lift control 5, 5' via one signal line 14, 14' each. The communication participants at the ends of the permanently activated signal lines 14, 14' are clearly identifiable. Knowing the present invention, the professional can combine the implementations of an elevator system according to Fig. 1 and 2 together, for example, such that a call control device 1, 1' is connected to several lift controls via a bus system 2' and a signal controller 4, 4' is connected to a lift controller 5, 5' respectively.5' is communicatively connected.

According to Fig. 1 the call input device 1, 1 in the bus system 2 transmits a call made by the passenger as a target call to the destination call control 4. According to Fig. 2 the call input device 1 in the bus system 2' transmits a call made by the passenger as a floor call or as a cabin call to the elevator control 5. In a floor call, an elevator cabin 6 is first made to the floor of the call input device 1. Only after the passenger has entered the elevator cabin 6, a cabin call is made to a target on a call input device 1 in the elevator cabin 6 and the elevator cabin 6 is made to this target.The most favourable call allocation is a journey with at least one lift cabin 6.6' from a start-station to a target station in the shortest possible waiting time or shortest possible target time. The start-station does not have to match the call-in-station. The target station does not have to match the target station as desired by the passenger. When assigning the most favourable call to the destination station, the start-station must match the destination station.At least one starting and one target call signal shall be generated and transmitted via the signal line 14, 14' to the elevator control adapter 5, 5' of this elevator cabin 6, 6'.

The screen 13 is rectangular or circular in diameter. The screen 13 has a diameter of 5 cm and a thickness of 2 to 10 mm. The display is made of glass or impact-resistant plastic such as polyurethane, polypropylene, polyethylene, etc. A front side of the screen 13 is made of glass or impact-resistant plastic such as polyurethane, polypropylene, polyethylene. In the case of a resistive screen 13, electrical contact is made between two previously electrically insulated electrically conductive layers when the screen 13 is touched.The electrical resistance of this electrical contact can be detected by at least one sensor as a two-dimensional location signal via a location coordinate.On a capacitive touch screen 13, a change in the electric field adjacent to the display is detected by touching the screen.This electric field change can also be detected by at least one sensor as a two-dimensional location signal via a local coordinate.On an open key 13, a beam of light is interrupted when the touch screen 13 is touched.The position of the light beam unlock is reflected by at least one upper sensor as a two-dimensional location signal via a coordinate.The white waves of a touch screen 13 are reflected at the horizontal and vertical wavelengths of the 13th ultrasonic bar.This ultrasonic wave reflection can also be detected by at least one sensor as a two-dimensional location-resolution input signal via a location coordinate.

The microphone 18 receives at least one command spoken by the passenger and generates at least one analogue voice signal. The command is a number or a letter or a word. The analogue voice signals are broken down into frequency sequences and digitized by at least one analogue-to-digital converter. At least one frequency spectrum is generated from the digitized voice signals by means of Fourier transformation. The frequency spectrum is compared with at least one reference spectrum. At least one input signal is assigned to each reference spectrum. The spectrum and input signal are stored in the computer-readable input memory of the call device 1, 1. A reference spectrum similar to the reference spectrum is selected and the reference spectrum is allocated to the device and the reference frequency is set to the computer-readable input of the call device 1, 1.Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 192 (char 191)Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 60 (char 59)

The call-in device 1, 1 switches to at least one specific input mode for the time or location-based generation of multiple input signals. Several types of time or location-based generation of multiple input signals are possible: For example, a passenger touches a functional marker 16, 16' on the 13 keyboard for several seconds, preferably three seconds, preferably five seconds.For a touch of a functional marker 16, 16' with a certain pressure, several location-based input signals are generated.For example, a passenger touches a functional marker 16, 16' on the 13 keyboard with a pressure of 2.5N to 5.0N.For a simultaneous touch of several functional markers 16, 16', several time-oriented input signals are generated.For example, a passenger touches the first two functional markers 16 on the keyboard 13 simultaneously, as shown in Fig. 4.For example, a passenger places a palm on the keyboard 13 and touches several functional markers 16, 16' simultaneously.For example, the passenger touches the entire keyboard 13 and touches several functional markers 16, 16' simultaneously.For a simultaneous touch of a functional markers 16, 16', several location-oriented e-signals are generated.For example, a passenger touches a functional markers 16, 16' on the keyboard 13 within a few seconds,Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 786 (char 785)Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 49 (char 48)Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 291 (char 290)For example, the multiple line is produced by the passenger touching the keyboard simultaneously with his index and ring fingers, and then moving the fingertips of these two fingers relative to each other while maintaining touch on the keyboard. In this way, the passenger can stretch his fingers so that the fingertips move away from each other on the keyboard or he can join his fingers so that the fingertips approach each other. For example, the multiple line is a multiple line extending from a center in two or three extremities or a multiple line of several extremities meeting in a multiple center line.The call-in device 1, 1 recognises this multiple line and assigns a function to it. For example, the passenger scrolls through a menu with several functional indicators 16, 16'. A multiple line extending from a centre to several ends opens a menu for the passenger; a multiple line extending from several ends to a centre closes a menu for the passenger.

Touching the first functional indicator 16 and touching the second functional indicator 16' on the same call input device 1, 1 shall put the lift in a special operating mode until the call made by touching the second functional indicator 16' is fully operated. A floor call is fully operated when the passenger has entered a lifting cabin 6, 6' in the departure and a cabin call or calls are fully operated when the elevator door 11, 11', 12, 12' in the departure and destination doors are fully opened. Therefore, if a first functional indicator 16 is touched on the first and same call input device 1, 1 and then a second functional indicator 16' is touched during the special operating mode, the special operation call shall be operated in the same manner.

In the special operating mode, a passenger is transported through the lift system without any handicaps in the building. The handicap may be a disability of the passenger or a potential safety hazard to the passenger. In the simplest case, the first input signal binarily indicates whether the passenger is disabled or not or whether the passenger is a safety hazard or not.

The first input signal can be used to specify the type of disability, such as walking disability, visual disability, hearing disability, etc. The disability can be a physical disability or a mental disability. The passenger can move or orient themselves in the building only by using at least one disability-specific aid. A disability-specific aid is, for example, a wheelchair, a wheelchair, a crutch, a hearing aid, a sight aid, a blind person's aid, a blind dog, etc. It may also be that a severely disabled passenger can only move with the help of at least one passenger's guide. For example, a disabled passenger pushes the wheelchair of the disabled person in a strong way to make a call to the disabled passenger.

It is also possible to indicate with the first input signal whether the passenger with disability needs passive or active personal protection. The passenger can move around the building only using at least one personal protective equipment. A personal protective equipment is, for example, a spatial protection zone or a temporary protection zone or a personal protector. For example, a spatial protection zone or a temporary protection zone is created for the passenger with disability with as few additional passengers as possible in the lift cabin 6, 6'.

Accordingly, in the special operating mode, the call-in device 1, 1', the lift door 11, 11', 12, 12' and the lift cab 6, 6' shall be operated as follows: For a passenger with disability-specific aids, the elevator door closes at a particularly high delay and closes at a particularly slow rate.While in normal operating mode an elevator door closes at 11, 11', 12, 12' after a delay of two to twenty seconds and the elevator door 11, 11', 12, 12' takes about two seconds to close, the delay and closing time for a passenger with disability-specific aids is 10% to 50% higher.For a passenger with disability-specific aids, the elevator cabin closes at 6,While in normal operating mode the height difference between a floor of the 6.6' lift cabin and a threshold of the 11.11' lift door can be more than 10 mm, for a passenger with disability-specific aids a maximum height difference between the 6.6' lift cabin floor and the 11.11' lift door threshold of +/-10 mm is required in EN81-70.An analogue is a lift cabin 6.6' of 630kg load capacity, which in normal operating mode can accommodate up to eight passengers, with a passenger with disabled load, and an accompanying passenger or a passenger at risk of safety, and a personal protector.A passenger with personal protective equipment is transported from the lift entrance cabin 6.6' from the call-in stack directly to the target workstation.While the lift cabin 6.6' in normal operating mode carries one or more intermediate stacks, a passenger with personal protective equipment is transported from the target workstation without any personal protective equipment.

Each input signal on the 13th or 15th touch screen shall be visually or audibly confirmed by at least one receiving signal 17 on the touch screen, 16' of the keyboard, which shall give the passenger an optical or audible receipt of the touch of a functional indicator 16, 16' of the screen. 13 The receiving signal 17 on the 13th touch screen shall be a sequence of pictograms or alphanumeric characters and shall be produced by at least one light element such as a liquid crystal display (LCD), light emitting display (LED) or organic light emitting display (OLED), etc. Each light element shall be controllable by computer program and shall be programmable independently of the number, size, colour and shape of the receiving signal 17m on the 13th touch screen as shown in Figure 1.The receiving signal 17 by the tone-dealer 15 is, for example, a sound sequence or melody or a synthetic speech output. Each receiving signal 17 receives in a unique way an input signal correlated with a functional indicator 16, 16'. If the present invention is known, the receiving signal can of course also be issued on another output direction of the elevator, separated by the call-out device 1, 1'. Another such output device is, for example, a cabin indicator above the elevator door 11, 11' or a floor indicator within the elevator cabin 6, 6' or 17'.The following shall be issued: Confirmation of the change of the elevator system to the special operating mode. The passenger is given a wheelchair pictogram on the 13 keypad as the 17 receiving signal and a tone of, for example, 600 Hz by the 15 voice transmitter. It is also possible to give larger, brighter or more contrasting alphanumeric sequences on the 13 keypad in the special operating mode. For example, while in normal operating mode alphanumeric sequences can have a height of less than 15 mm, they are at least 15 mm high in the special operating mode, preferably at least 18 mm high.Confirmation of the elevator's weight in the normal operating mode. The 13 voice transmitter is given as a 17 mm tone of the 15 and 400 Hz voice transmitter by the 15 voice transmitter.Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 162 (char 161)Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 790 (char 789)Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 108 (char 107)Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 209 (char 208)Err1:Expecting ',' delimiter: line 1 column 59 (char 58)Err1:Expecting ':' delimiter: line 1 column 54 (char 53)

At least one input area of the screen 13 shall be occupied multiple times, so that the passenger can select one of several functional indicators 16, 16' over the time the screen 13 is touched. Several input signals are generated by continuous touch of the screen 13 input area. At the end of the touch, the last input signal generated is selected. The call-in device 1, 1' transmits only the selected additional input signal to the destination call control 4 or lift control 5, 5'.
