Embodiment Construction

[0030] Oftentimes, an elevator car arrives at an elevator floor where no passengers are waiting to board. Passengers may leave an elevator floor for various reasons. For example, passengers can return to their office or nearby parking lot to retrieve forgotten items. In another example, a passenger may board another elevator car that has arrived at their elevator floor before the scheduled elevator car has arrived.

[0031] If no passenger(s) are waiting, this may cause the elevator to stop unnecessarily, which may cause delays in serving other passengers on other floors. Additionally, running elevators unnecessarily consumes a lot of power and can lead to increased maintenance services and costs.

[0032] In a different scenario, when passengers on a crowded elevator floor enter the elevator car, other passengers who are unable to enter the elevator car can press the hall call button, preventing the elevator car from closing its doors and transporting the passenger to its d...

Abstract

The invention relates to automatic support of social distance of call requests and identification of waiting passengers using deep learning and machine learning. Embodiments are provided for identifying waiting passengers outside an elevator and automatically supporting the social distance of elevator passengers using deep learning and machine learning. Embodiments include receiving a call request from an elevator floor; capturing an image of the elevator floor registering the call request in response to receiving the call request; and determining, from the image, the presence of one or more waiting passengers on the elevator floor on which the call request is registered. Embodiments also include scheduling an elevator car to the elevator floor registering the call request; and controlling the elevator car based at least in part on determining the presence of the one or more waiting passengers.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments herein relate to elevator systems and, more particularly, to identification of waiting passengers outside an elevator using deep learning and machine learning and to automatically support social distancing of elevator passengers. Background technique [0002] In today's environment, travel for business and personal reasons is very common, and travelers may meet many other people in a short period of time. Because travelers can easily travel to unrestricted destinations, if an individual has a contagious health condition, such as a virus or infectious disease, several others may become exposed. The risk of unknowingly spreading a virus or infectious disease can be unwelcomely increased. Social distancing between travelers may need to be encouraged. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] According to an embodiment, a method for identifying waiting passengers outside an elevator and automatically supporting social distancing of elevator passeng...
