Embodiment Construction

[0054] Figure 12 shows a front perspective view of another user input device 602 according to the third aspect of the present disclosure, and, Figure 13 A rear perspective view of user input device 602 is shown. User input device 602 is similar to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The user input device 502 is shown in.

[0055] Figure 14 show focus on Figure 12 and Figure 13 A side view of the first input area 602A of the device is shown in . As shown more clearly in this figure, a touchless sensor 616A is disposed in the base 623 of the wall 622 . Of course, the base 623 of the wall 622 could be omitted, and no touch sensor 616A could be held in the same position, but held in the same position by another support structure provided within the user input device 602 . Wall 622 defines an input area 604A that may be considered to correspond to a recess located in panel 608 .

[0056] like Figure 14 As depicted in , when a user places an object (eg, their finger 626 ) into...

Abstract

The invention relates to a user input device. A user input device (202) for providing input to an elevator controller is disclosed. The user input device (202) comprises: a plurality of input areas (204A-204F), each of which corresponds to a different input command; and a single touchless sensor (216) arranged to detect the presence of an object in any of the plurality of input areas (204A-204F).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to user input devices for providing input to an elevator controller of an elevator system. Background technique [0002] Elevator systems typically include car operating panels that allow users to enter their destination floors and landing panels that allow users to call elevator cars to their landings. Some landing boards also allow users to indicate their direction of travel or their destination floor. Such car operating panels or landing panels typically include a number of buttons that the user must press in order to make his selection. Buttons require physical contact by the user, which introduces the possibility of microbes (eg, bacteria, archaea, protozoa, algae, fungi, viruses, etc.) being transferred from or deposited onto the button by the user. Certain microorganisms can make users sick. Since the button may be operated by many different users of the elevator system, there is a risk that any microorganisms p...
