Problems solved by technology

However, some elderly or disabled people may need time to enter two (or even three) numbers in a row
Also first-time users take more time to enter floor numbers with multiple digits than experienced users
And focusing on a few other things at the same time prolongs the feed time
In general, there are many conditions that affect the user's convenience for input speed
In some cases this may result in a destination call being recorded with a single digit even though the passenger intended to enter another digit

Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 Shown is a call input device 10 , an operating panel 12 connected to a call input device controller 14 comprising a keyboard controller comprising a decimal keyboard 16 arranged in the panel 12 of the call input device. Of course, the keyboard controller can be separate from the device controller. The decimal keypad 16 preferably has twelve buttons 17 , 18 with ten digits 17 and two special buttons, wherein one of these special buttons 18 may be an emergency button. Furthermore, the panel 12 comprises a display 20 for indicating floor data and / or other data, a microphone 22, a loudspeaker 24, wherein these devices can also be arranged in a separate panel so that they do not need to be arranged in the panel 12 of the call input device . Located on top of the panel 12 is a proximity sensor 26 having a sensing area 28 in front of the decimal keypad 16 and its corresponding buttons (or touch sensitive buttons for a touch screen panel) 17 . When entering a floor ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a call input device (10) of an elevator comprising a keyboard (16) for inputting the number of a floor, which call input device (10) has a keyboard control (14) for the keyboard (16), whereby the keyboard control (14) is configured to open an input channel from the keyboard (16) for the input of a further digit of a floor number to enter a more than one- digit floor number. According to the invention the call input device (10) comprises a proximity sensor (26) having a sensing area (28) in front of the keyboard (16), and the keyboard control (14) is configured to open / close the input channel from the keyboard (16) for the input of a further digit in response to the signal of the proximity sensor (26).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a call input device for an elevator, comprising a keyboard, such as a decimal keyboard for inputting a destination floor number. The call input device has a keypad controller for a decimal keypad. After receiving the first digit through the keypad, the keypad controller is configured to open an input channel from the keypad for inputting another digit of the destination floor number to input a destination floor number with more than one digit. Typically, call input devices of this type have, for example, a separate button to indicate the second digit of the destination floor number to be entered. Another known solution is to provide a timer which keeps the input channel open for entering another number for a predetermined time and when the timer expires the entered input number is transmitted to the elevator controller as Destination floor number. A third alternative is to set a maximum time frame for button presses. Backgro...
