Problems solved by technology

This is very costly from a HW and installation perspective, and when such equipment fails, it can be difficult to locate them for correct action afterwards, again generating additional life cycle costs
Partly for these reasons, the commercial success of indoor positioning systems has been largely limited, and indoor positioning systems are practically limited to some very special cases that are not too cost sensitive.

Embodiment Construction

[0042] figure 1 A shopping center 10 is shown as an environment within the meaning of the invention. The shopping center 10 has a transport system with three elevator banks 12 , 14 , 16 and two escalator banks 18 , 20 . The mall 10 provides an internal navigation system that can be installed as an application on the mobile phone 32 (see figure 2 and image 3 ). For indoor navigation, this navigation system uses the mobile phone's internal sensors (accelerometer or gyroscope). For the transmission of reference points for the navigation system, the transport systems 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 of the shopping center 10 comprise hotspot22.

[0043] For example, in a first elevator group 12 comprising four elevator cars, A hotspot 22 is provided in each elevator car. In a second elevator group 14 comprising eight elevators, Hot spots 22 are provided at both the entrance / exit end of the lobby 15 of the second elevator group 15 . Therefore, every person entering or leaving the l...

Abstract

The invention relates to a transportation system in an environment (10) comprising several people conveyors (12, 14, 16, 18, 20) as well as a navigation system installed on mobile devices (32) held by the passengers of the transportation system, which transportation system comprises at least one wireless transmission device (22) 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.

Description

Background technique [0001] The invention relates to a transport system in an environment comprising several people conveyors. Such an environment could be a building, a shopping mall, or a train station or an airport. The term "people conveyor" may include any technical conveyor adapted to transport people in horizontal and / or vertical direction, such as eg elevators, escalators, moving walkways or moving ramps. [0002] Additionally, the transportation system includes a navigation system mounted on a mobile device held by a passenger of the transportation system. The navigation system is usually an indoor navigation algorithm or program installed on the aforementioned mobile device. A mobile device, preferably a mobile phone or a smartphone, can use the implemented navigation system to guide passengers through the environment, which is especially important if the environment is a very large building or a shopping mall or an airport. [0003] In these environments, the acq...
