The invention relates to a transportation system in an environment comprising several people conveyors as well as a navigation system installed on mobile devices held by the passengers of the transportation system, which transportation system comprises at least one wireless transmission device in connection with at least one of the passenger conveyors, wherein the navigation system comprises a calibration routine for generating a reference position of the mobile device in the environment, and the calibration routine can be initiated, if the distance of the mobile device to the wireless transmission device goes below a threshold value, in which calibration routine the wireless transmission device transfers position and/or identification data to the mobile device, whereupon the navigation system on the mobile device adopts the reference position of the related passenger conveyor.

Transportation system

An elevator system includes at least one elevator, call-giving appliances in elevator lobbies, and a device configured to detect contact patterns in an identification area on a floor surface of at least one elevator lobby. A user to be connected to a call given from the elevator lobby is classified based on the contact pattern, the type data of the call is associated with the call based on the classification, and the call and the type data is transmitted to the control system of the elevator system to control the elevators.

Elevator systems and methods to control elevator based on contact patterns

A conveyance system comprises at least one user interface having at least one service request pushbutton for providing service requests to the conveyance system. An identifier device is provided to a passenger. The identifier device stores identifier device data for determining a service profile of the identifier device. The identifier device data in the identifier device is read when a passenger presses or touches a service request pushbutton of the user interface. Based on the data read from the identifier device, the service profile of the identifier device is determined. A service request connected to the service request pushbutton is activated based on the service profile.

Methods and systems for providing service requests to conveyance systems

The present invention deals with a method and system for producing services in the communication system of a building. In the method of the invention, the communication system includes at least one terminal device applicable for local-area communication, at least one communication unit, at least one server controlling the communication system, at least one base station for implementing a local-area network in the communication system, and a local network for implementing mutual data transfer between the communication unit, the server controlling the communication system and the base station. In the method, a number of service folders are generated in the terminal device and a service folder applicable to the purpose in each case is selected. From the selected service folder, a service request is selected which is transmitted from the terminal device to the communication system, where the service request is executed in one or more sub-stages using one or more communication units.

Configurable communication system for a building

A method for tracking objects includes providing each of at least two different objects with a transmitter having individualized identifier data; logically connecting the objects to each other by connecting the identifier data of the transmitters to each other; recording the identifier data of the transmitters of the objects in a memory; connecting contact information of the object in question to the identifier data; detecting the transmitter of the object with a receiver of an identification point when the object comes close to the identification point; determining based on the identifier data contained in the memory whether at least two objects logically connected to each other have traveled past the identification point inside a pre-defined time window; and performing one or more pre-defined feedback actions when at least two of the objects logically connected to each other have not traveled past the identification point inside the pre-defined time window.

Tracking system

A method and call system for an elevator car located within a building that may react to a passenger's approach and arrival in front of the actual elevator door. The system makes use of a sensor located near to an exterior door of the building containing the elevator, and a second different sensor located near to the actual elevator bank in which the arriving passenger would intend to enter. The system may also make use of identifying a passenger based upon a predetermined identification or authorization to include automatic communication through to the elevator for initial entrance floor location as well as an exit floor location based upon the predetermined passenger's identification and/or authorization.

Method and call system for remotely communicating with an elevator in prediction of a passenger

A computer and data network assisted automated method and system for determining factors limiting production locally and site-specifically in agriculture or related industrial fields, and for evaluating the mutual significance thereof by means of an expert system. Feedback comprising a solution is furnished via data network to the system of the production site and/or related industry for further measures.
