Abstract
A method for controlling an elevator installation uses a computer-controlled mobile device. The elevator installation includes an elevator shaft having a plurality of shaft thresholds each assigned to one floor, an elevator car having a car threshold and is moveable along the elevator shaft, and a control unit for moving the elevator car. The mobile device has an evaluation unit that communicates with the control unit. Information generated using at least one component of the mobile device as a result of a height deviation between the car threshold and a shaft threshold located opposite the car threshold is received in the evaluation unit, is then evaluated and control information for moving the elevator car is generated. The control information is sent to the control unit to move the elevator car such that the height deviation between the car threshold and the shaft threshold is minimized.
