An elevator system includes a drive controller configured to actuate a drive motor of an elevator drive assembly. A non-transitory computer-readable medium includes program instructions that cause a processor to retrieve a set of rules of the elevator system, generate at least one graphical user interface by applying the set of rules to at least one design template, calculate an acceptance score for the at least one graphical user interface based on a user profile of an administrator, and publish the at least one graphical user interface based at least partially on the acceptance score. The elevator system further includes a display device configured to display the graphical user interface after it is published and cause the drive controller to actuate the drive motor based on user input of a selection of at least one selectable option on the at least one graphical user interface.

Elevator control and user interface system

A computer-implemented method of automatically generating and populating one or more car floor buttons on a configuration tool display wherein the configuration tool is in communication with an elevator cabin of an elevator system.

Method of generating buttons for car operating panels

A computer-implemented method for importing data to an elevator content control system comprises using a computing structure remote from a destination dispatch kiosk to select a location to upload a configuration data file. The configuration data file includes building information and elevator information. The method comprises uploading the selected configuration data file to the content control system. The method includes importing the configuration data file to the content control system to fill in a void in a second configuration data file. The importing does not overwrite a preset identification number for at least one of an elevator, a kiosk, an elevator controller, a building, a job, and an elevator car.

System for compiling and transferring elevator configuration data and methods of using same

A computer-implemented method for generating and configuring content of an elevator destination dispatch kiosk. The kiosk includes a display. The method includes creating a kiosk database having kiosk data. The kiosk data outlines a plurality of destination floors associated with the elevator destination dispatch kiosk. The method comprises the step of using a computing structure remote from the elevator destination dispatch kiosk to automatically: (a) access the kiosk data in the kiosk database, and (b) generate a floor button layout. The method includes the step of communicating the floor button layout from the computing structure to the elevator destination dispatch kiosk to cause the floor button layout to be published on the display. An interface of the computing structure allows the floor button layout to be previewed before the floor button layout is communicated from the computing structure to the elevator destination dispatch kiosk.

Systems and methods for generating and configuring content of elevator destination dispatch kiosks

A computer-implemented method for generating content for a display on a dispatch kiosk includes using a computing structure remote from the dispatch kiosk to: (1) create a floor layout grid for each elevator hall in a building; (2) automatically generate a graph-based map model from the floor layout grid; (3) automatically calculate a plurality of walk path options from a call kiosk to a designated elevator based on the graph-based map model; (4) determine an optimal walk path from the call kiosk to the designated elevator from the plurality of walk path options; (5) automatically render a floor map image displaying the optimal walk path; and (6) communicate the floor map image from the computing structure to the dispatch kiosk in order to enable the dispatch kiosk to exhibit the floor map image on the dispatch kiosk display in response to an elevator call.
