Abstract
An elevator installation has elevator operating devices arranged on floors of a building and communicatively connected to an elevator controller. The elevator operating devices include main operating devices configured for inputting a destination floor desired by a passenger and for outputting travel information, and at least one secondary operating device arranged on one of the floors. The secondary operating device is next to the main operating device on the one floor and is communicatively connected to the elevator controller. The secondary operating device has a touch-sensitive screen system that confirms a destination floor, input by touch, by a tactilely perceptible feedback in order to support a passenger with a physical limitation when inputting a call. The elevator controller determines travel information for the destination floor input on the secondary operating device and communicates this information to the passenger by the main operating device arranged next to the secondary operating device.
