Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of access control linkage management technology, and in particular to a call management method based on access control barcode scanning and elevator linkage, as well as a call management system, electronic equipment, and computer-readable storage medium based on access control barcode scanning and elevator linkage. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, access control systems and elevator control systems may operate independently without effective data communication. This forces users to manually press elevator buttons in the elevator lobby after entering the community or building, increasing user steps and waiting time, and reducing passage efficiency.

[0003] Traditional elevator calling methods typically involve pressing buttons in the elevator lobby, which is very inconvenient for people with mobility issues or those carrying many items. Furthermore, this method doesn't allow for advance elevator reservations, and users may have to wait a considerable amount of time after arriving in the elevator lobby before the elevator arrives.

[0004] In existing technology, after an elevator arrives at a user's floor, it cannot confirm whether the user has entered the elevator. This may result in the elevator arriving and waiting for a period of time before the user enters, and then leaving empty, causing a waste of resources and affecting the user experience of other users.

[0005] Because there is no data exchange between the access control system and the elevator control system, the elevator system cannot obtain the user's relevant information in a timely manner after the user enters the building through the access control system, and therefore cannot make preparations for operation in advance, resulting in a longer waiting time for the user to wait for the elevator. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] On the one hand, a call management method based on access control QR code scanning and elevator linkage is provided. This method is implemented by electronic devices and includes:

[0008] S1. Establish data communication between the access control system and the elevator control system;

[0009] S2. Scan the access control code through the user terminal APP, log in to the access control management system, and send an elevator call request;

[0010] S3. After the access control system preprocesses the elevator call request, it forwards the elevator parameters called by the user to the elevator control system.

[0011] S4. The elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the user's floor based on the elevator parameters called by the user.

[0012] S5. When a user enters the elevator, they send a confirmation command to the access control system via the user terminal APP, which is then forwarded by the access control system to the elevator control system.

[0013] S6. After receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system shuts down the elevator and runs to the floor designated by the user.

[0014] Preferably, in step S2, after the user-end APP scans the access control code, logs into the access control management system, and sends an elevator call request, the following steps are also included:

[0015] When the access control system receives the elevator call request, it simultaneously sends an elevator preparation notification to the elevator control system, wherein the elevator preparation notification contains the floor location information of the current user's floor.

[0016] After receiving the elevator preparation notification, the elevator control system parses the elevator preparation notification and obtains the floor location information of the current user's floor.

[0017] The elevator control system starts controlling the elevator to run based on the current floor location information of the user, until it reaches the user's floor.

[0018] Preferably, S3, after the access control system preprocesses the elevator call request, it forwards the elevator parameters called by the user to the elevator control system, including:

[0019] The access control system receives and parses the elevator call request to obtain the elevator parameters called by the user and the user's identity information, wherein the elevator parameters called by the user include the floor specified by the user;

[0020] The access control management system identifies and authenticates user identity information based on backend user registration data:

[0021] If authentication is successful, the elevator parameters called by the user and the user's identity information will be simultaneously pushed to the elevator control system.

[0022] If authentication fails, a re-authentication process is initiated to the user's mobile app. After re-authentication, the elevator parameters called by the user and the user's identity information are simultaneously pushed to the elevator control system.

[0023] Preferably, S4, the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the user's floor based on the elevator parameters called by the user, including:

[0024] The elevator control system receives the elevator parameters called by the user and sends them to the elevator controller;

[0025] The elevator controller determines whether the elevator has reached the user's floor:

[0026] If so, the elevator control system waits for the elevator control system to receive and respond with the confirmation instruction. After the elevator control system receives the confirmation instruction, it notifies the elevator controller to shut down the elevator and run to the floor specified by the user based on the elevator parameters called by the user.

[0027] If not, continue running to the user's current floor.

[0028] Preferably, S4, the elevator control system, based on the elevator parameters called by the user, controls the elevator to run to the user's floor, and further includes:

[0029] After the elevator control system receives the confirmation command, it collects the user's temporary identity information through the identity collection module inside the elevator.

[0030] Based on the user identity information pre-push by the access control management system, the collected temporary identity information is compared and verified:

[0031] If the verification is successful, proceed to the next step;

[0032] If the verification fails, the elevator controller is notified to stop execution and an early warning notification is sent to the access control system.

[0033] Preferably, S4, the elevator control system, based on the elevator parameters called by the user, controls the elevator to run to the user's floor, and further includes:

[0034] When the access control system receives an early warning notification, it initiates an identity re-authentication process to the user-end APP.

[0035] After re-authentication, the access control system notifies the elevator control system;

[0036] Upon receiving the notification, the elevator control system releases the elevator controller's suspension control and instructs the elevator controller to continue executing the operating procedure: based on the elevator parameters called by the user, proceed to the floor specified by the user.

[0037] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0038] The elevator control system collects real-time operating status data of the elevator and synchronizes it to the access control system. The real-time operating status data includes at least the following status data: elevator running time, floor where it is running, fault information or user elevator screen.

[0039] The elevator control system shares the real-time operating status data to the user-end APP in real time.

[0040] The user-side APP displays the real-time operating status data.

[0041] On the other hand, a call management system based on access control QR code scanning and elevator linkage is provided. This system implements the call management method based on access control QR code scanning and elevator linkage. The system includes:

[0042] The user-side APP is used to scan the access control code, log in to the access control management system, and send an elevator call request.

[0043] The access control system is used to preprocess the elevator call request and then forward the elevator parameters called by the user to the elevator control system.

[0044] The elevator control system is used to control the elevator to the user's floor based on the elevator parameters called by the user. When the user enters the elevator, he / she sends a confirmation command to the access control system through the user terminal APP, and the access control system forwards it to the elevator control system. After receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system closes the elevator and runs to the floor specified by the user.

[0045] The user-side APP communicates with the access control management system.

[0046] The access control system is communicatively connected to the elevator control system.

[0047] On the other hand, an electronic device is provided, comprising: a processor; and a memory storing computer-readable instructions, wherein when executed by the processor, the computer-readable instructions implement any of the above-described call management methods based on access control scanning and elevator linkage.

[0048] On the other hand, a computer-readable storage medium is provided, wherein at least one instruction is stored in the storage medium, the at least one instruction being loaded and executed by a processor to implement any of the above-described call management methods based on access control scanning and elevator linkage.

[0049] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present invention include at least the following:

[0050] This method establishes data communication between the access control system and the elevator control system in step S1, achieving interconnection between the two systems. This allows users to directly call the elevator while passing through the access control system. The two systems can exchange information in real time, greatly improving passage efficiency and reducing user waiting time. Users can log in to the access control system and issue an elevator call request by scanning the access code through a user-side APP. This method is more convenient, especially for users with mobility issues or those carrying items, eliminating the need to manually press buttons in the elevator lobby; they can operate solely on their mobile phones. Furthermore, users can call the elevator in advance from a distance, and the elevator may already be there when they arrive in the elevator lobby, further saving time.

[0051] After preprocessing elevator call requests, the access control system forwards the elevator parameters requested by the user to the elevator control system. This preprocessing allows for filtering and sorting of requests, ensuring that the elevator control system receives accurate and effective information, thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of elevator operation. Based on the elevator parameters requested by the user, the elevator control system directs the elevator to the user's floor. Because there is data communication between the two systems, the elevator can prepare for operation in advance, quickly and accurately reaching the user's floor, reducing waiting time.

[0052] Once a user enters the elevator, they send a confirmation command to the access control system via their mobile app. The access control system then forwards this command to the elevator control system. Upon receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system closes the elevator and proceeds to the user's designated floor. This confirmation mechanism prevents elevators from running empty, improves elevator efficiency, optimizes resource utilization, and enhances the user experience for other users.

[0062] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0063] The user-side APP in this embodiment is paired with the access control management system and can refer to the operating mechanism of existing access control APPs.

[0064] This invention provides a call management method based on access control QR code scanning and elevator linkage. This method can be implemented by an electronic device, which can be a terminal or a server. Figure 1 The flowchart shown illustrates a call management method based on access control QR code scanning and elevator linkage. The processing flow of this method may include the following steps:

[0065] S1. Establish data communication between the access control system and the elevator control system;

[0066] S2. The user scans the access control code via the user-end APP to log in to the access control management system and sends an elevator call request. When the access control management system receives the elevator call request, it simultaneously sends an elevator preparation notification to the elevator control system. The elevator preparation notification contains the floor location information of the current user's floor. After receiving the elevator preparation notification, the elevator control system parses the elevator preparation notification to obtain the floor location information of the current user's floor. Based on the floor location information of the current user's floor, the elevator control system starts controlling the elevator to run until it reaches the user's floor.

[0067] S3. After preprocessing the elevator call request by the access control system, the elevator parameters called by the user are forwarded to the elevator control system, including:

[0068] The access control system receives and parses the elevator call request to obtain the elevator parameters called by the user and the user's identity information, wherein the elevator parameters called by the user include the floor specified by the user;

[0069] The access control management system identifies and authenticates user identity information based on backend user registration data:

[0070] If authentication is successful, the elevator parameters called by the user and the user's identity information will be simultaneously pushed to the elevator control system.

[0071] If authentication fails, a re-authentication process is initiated to the user's APP. After re-authentication, the elevator parameters called by the user and the user's identity information are simultaneously pushed to the elevator control system.

[0072] S4. The elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the user's floor based on the elevator parameters called by the user.

[0073] S5. When a user enters the elevator, they send a confirmation command to the access control system via the user terminal APP, which is then forwarded by the access control system to the elevator control system.

[0074] S6. After receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system shuts down the elevator and runs to the floor designated by the user.

[0075] This invention uses access control QR code scanning and elevator linkage for call management, which can call the elevator for users in advance and reduce waiting time.

[0076] System architecture hardware components:

[0077] Access control equipment: Equipped with a barcode scanning function, it is used to identify users' access cards or QR codes and serves as the system's entry control device.

[0078] Elevator control system: including elevator controllers, elevator call buttons, and other equipment, responsible for the operation control and scheduling of elevators.

[0079] Owner-side devices: such as mobile apps, used by owners to receive elevator status information, call elevators, and perform other operations.

[0080] Communication equipment: Used for information transmission between access control equipment, elevator control systems and owner-side equipment to ensure real-time communication between the devices.

[0081] Software component:

[0082] Access control management software: runs on the access control equipment and is responsible for functions such as barcode scanning and identification, and communication and coordination with the elevator control system.

[0083] Elevator dispatching software: runs in the elevator control system and dispatches and allocates elevators according to user call instructions.

[0084] Owner-side APP software: Provides a user interface that allows owners to easily call the elevator, select the floor, and view the elevator's operating status in real time.

[0085] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0086] S1. Establish data communication between the access control system and the elevator control system.

[0087] Connect the access control system and elevator control system to the same local area network (LAN) using wired networks (such as Ethernet) or wireless networks (such as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth). For large buildings, multiple access points may need to be deployed to ensure network coverage. Choose an appropriate communication protocol, such as Modbus or TCP / IP. Modbus is suitable for simple device communication, while TCP / IP is suitable for complex network environments, enabling remote communication and data transmission. Develop a communication interface between the two systems, including hardware and software interfaces. The hardware interface ensures the stability of the physical connection, while the software interface handles data format conversion and transmission.

[0088] The access control system and elevator control system interact via a network. When one side sends data, the data is encapsulated into data packets conforming to the selected communication protocol and transmitted to the other side over the network. The receiving side, upon receiving the data packets, parses the data and extracts the required information. For example, in a commercial office building, the access control system and elevator control system are connected to the same local area network via Ethernet. Using the TCP / IP protocol for communication, specialized interface software has been developed to enable real-time data transmission between the two systems. This seamless integration of the access control system and elevator control system improves the overall building's intelligence level. The two systems can share user information and status data, improving management efficiency. Through data communication, strict control over elevator use can be achieved, ensuring that only authorized personnel can use the elevators.

[0089] S2. Scan the access control code via the user-end APP to log in to the access control management system and send an elevator call request.

[0090] Develop a user-facing app to enable functions such as access control code scanning, login, and elevator calling. Use QR codes or barcodes as access control codes to ensure security and uniqueness (the specific software can be developed and configured based on the access control management system's functionality).

[0091] The app integrates with the access control system to enable user information verification and login. When a user scans the access control code, the app sends the code information to the access control system for verification.

[0092] After a user successfully logs in, they can select the elevator they wish to call on the app, and the app will then send the elevator call request to the access control system.

[0093] The user opens the app, scans the access control code, and the app sends the code information to the access control management system for verification. Once verified, the user logs in successfully. The user selects the elevator they wish to call on the app, and the app sends the elevator call request to the access control management system. Upon receiving the request, the access control management system simultaneously sends an elevator preparation notification to the elevator control system, which includes the user's current floor location information. Upon receiving the notification, the elevator control system parses the floor location information and begins guiding the elevator to the user's floor.

[0094] For example, in a residential complex, employee A downloads and installs a dedicated app. Employee A opens the app, scans the community access control code to log in, and then selects the elevator they wish to call. Upon receiving the elevator call request, the access control system sends an elevator preparation notification to the elevator control system, which then directs the elevator to the resident's floor.

[0095] Therefore, users can call the elevator anytime, anywhere via a mobile app, without having to wait in front of it. Access control codes ensure that only authorized personnel can use the elevator. This reduces waiting time and improves convenience.

[0096] S3. After preprocessing the elevator call request, the access control system forwards the elevator parameters requested by the user to the elevator control system.

[0097] After receiving an elevator call request, the access control system parses the elevator parameters and user identity information. It uses regular expressions or a JSON parser to parse the request data. Based on the user registration data in the backend, the access control system identifies and authenticates the user. Authentication can be performed using username, password, fingerprint recognition, etc.

[0098] If authentication is successful, the access control system will simultaneously push the elevator parameters and user identity information to the elevator control system. If authentication fails, a re-authentication process will be initiated to the user's mobile app. Once re-authentication is successful, the data will be synchronized back to the elevator control system.

[0099] After receiving an elevator call request, the access control system first parses the elevator parameters and user identity information. Then, it authenticates the user's identity information based on the user registration data in the background. If authentication is successful, the elevator parameters and user identity information are forwarded to the elevator control system. If authentication fails, a re-authentication request is sent to the user's mobile app. The user then re-authenticates on the app, and once successful, the data is forwarded to the elevator control system.

[0100] For example, employee B uses a mobile app to call the elevator. After receiving the elevator call request, the access control system parses the elevator parameters and employee B's identity information. It then verifies employee B's identity by comparing it with the company's employee database. If authentication is successful, the elevator parameters and employee identity information are forwarded to the elevator control system. If authentication fails, a re-authentication request is sent to employee B's mobile app. The employee re-authenticates on the app, and once successful, the data is forwarded to the elevator control system.

[0101] Identity authentication ensures that only authorized personnel can use the elevator, preventing unauthorized personnel from entering. Elevator call requests are pre-processed to ensure the accuracy of data forwarded to the elevator control system.

[0102] S4. The elevator control system controls the elevator to the user's floor based on the elevator parameters requested by the user.

[0103] After receiving the elevator parameters requested by a user, the elevator control system parses the user's current floor information. A parsing algorithm is used to analyze the parameter data. Based on the user's floor information and the elevator's current status, an elevator scheduling algorithm determines the elevator's path and speed. Common elevator scheduling algorithms include First-Come, First-Served (FCFS) and Shortest Seeking Time First (SSTF) algorithms. Based on the results of the elevator scheduling algorithm, the system controls the elevator's operation, including starting, stopping, accelerating, and decelerating.

[0104] After receiving the elevator parameters requested by a user, the elevator control system parses the user's current floor information. Based on the elevator's current status and the user's floor information, it uses an elevator scheduling algorithm to determine the elevator's path and speed. Then, based on the algorithm's result, it controls the elevator's operation until it reaches the user's floor.

[0105] For example, in a shopping mall, a customer uses a mobile app to call an elevator. After receiving the call request, the elevator control system analyzes the customer's floor information. Based on the elevator's current status and the customer's floor information, it uses a shortest seek time first algorithm to determine the elevator's path and speed. Then, it controls the elevator to travel to the customer's floor.

[0106] By using elevator scheduling algorithms, elevator operating efficiency is improved and user waiting time is reduced. The elevator's operating path and speed are automatically adjusted according to user needs, achieving intelligent elevator control.

[0107] S5. When a user enters the elevator, they send a confirmation command to the access control system via the user's mobile app, which then forwards the command to the elevator control system.

[0108] Develop a confirmation command sending function on the user-side APP. After the user enters the elevator, they can click the confirmation button on the APP, and the APP will send the confirmation command to the access control management system.

[0109] After receiving the confirmation instruction, the access control system forwards it to the elevator control system.

[0110] After entering the elevator, the user opens the app and clicks the confirmation button. The app sends the confirmation command to the access control system, which then forwards it to the elevator control system.

[0111] Therefore, the elevator control system can accurately detect when a user has entered the elevator, preventing accidental operation. The elevator will only continue operating after the user confirms entry, thus improving elevator safety.

[0112] S6. After receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system shuts down the elevator and runs to the floor designated by the user.

[0113] After receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system parses the user-specified floor information. A parsing algorithm is used to analyze the command data. The elevator control system then closes the elevator doors, ensuring they are fully closed before commencing operation. Based on the user-specified floor information, the elevator is guided to the designated floor. Finally, an elevator scheduling algorithm (based on an existing algorithm) is used to determine the elevator's path and speed.

[0114] After receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system parses the user-specified floor information. Then, it controls the elevator doors to close, ensuring they are fully closed. Based on the user-specified floor information and the elevator's current state, it uses an elevator scheduling algorithm to determine the elevator's path and speed. Finally, it controls the elevator to travel to the designated floor.

[0115] For example, after an employee enters the elevator, they click the confirmation button on the app. Upon receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system parses the employee's designated floor information. Then, it controls the elevator doors to close and, based on the employee's designated floor information and the elevator's current status, uses a first-come, first-served algorithm to determine the elevator's path and speed. Finally, it controls the elevator to travel to the employee's designated floor.

[0116] Ensuring the elevator doors are fully closed before operation prevents potential hazards during elevator operation. Precise control of the elevator to the designated floor based on user-specified floor information enhances the user experience.

[0117] Preferably, S4, the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the user's floor based on the elevator parameters called by the user, including:

[0118] The elevator control system receives the elevator parameters called by the user and sends them to the elevator controller;

[0119] The elevator controller determines whether the elevator has reached the user's floor:

[0120] If so, the elevator control system waits for the elevator control system to receive and respond with the confirmation instruction. After the elevator control system receives the confirmation instruction, it notifies the elevator controller to shut down the elevator and run to the floor specified by the user based on the elevator parameters called by the user.

[0121] If not, continue running to the user's current floor.

[0122] The elevator control system needs to be equipped with a corresponding data receiving module, which is used to receive elevator parameters called by users. When a user issues a call command, these parameters are synchronously transmitted to the data receiving module of the elevator control system through the access control system.

[0123] The elevator control system also needs a data transmission module to accurately send the received elevator parameters to the elevator controller. This can be achieved through an internal communication bus (such as CAN bus, RS-485 bus, etc.) to ensure efficient and reliable data transmission within the system.

[0124] Elevator controllers require floor detection devices, such as rotary encoders and magnetic switches. Rotary encoders can be installed on the elevator's drive motor shaft, accurately calculating the elevator's floor position by detecting the number and direction of the motor's rotation. Magnetic switches can be installed at each floor level in the elevator shaft; as the elevator passes by, the magnetic switches generate signals, which the elevator controller uses to determine the floor. The elevator controller then compares the received parameters indicating the user's current floor with its own detected floor information to determine whether the elevator has reached the user's floor.

[0125] The elevator control system needs a command feedback receiving module to receive confirmation commands. Confirmation commands can be sent by the user via a confirmation button inside the elevator or through a user-end device (in this embodiment, the user-end app sends the confirmation command to the access control system (by one-click input, sending a confirmation command to enter the elevator), and the access control system forwards it to the elevator control system; after receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system closes the elevator and proceeds to the user's designated floor). Once the elevator reaches the user's floor, the elevator control system waits to receive and respond to the confirmation command.

[0126] Once the elevator control system receives the confirmation instruction, it sends control commands to the elevator controller via the communication bus to close the elevator doors and proceed to the user-specified floor. Upon receiving these commands, the elevator controller closes the elevator doors and adjusts the elevator's direction and speed according to the user-specified floor parameters, ensuring the elevator accurately reaches the designated floor.

[0127] For example, a user can issue an elevator call command through a calling device (such as a call button outside the elevator, a mobile app, etc.). This command includes elevator parameters such as the user's current floor and the specified destination floor. These parameters are transmitted to the elevator control system wirelessly. After receiving the parameters, the elevator control system sends them to the elevator controller via its internal communication bus. The elevator controller processes and makes judgments based on the received parameters and its own detected current floor information.

[0128] The elevator controller uses a floor detection device installed on the elevator to obtain the elevator's current floor information in real time. Upon receiving the user's current floor parameter, it compares the two. If the current floor equals the user's current floor, the elevator determines that it has arrived; otherwise, the elevator continues running until it reaches the user's floor.

[0129] Once the elevator arrives at the user's floor, it awaits a confirmation command from the user. This confirmation command is synchronously transmitted to the elevator control system via the access control system. Upon receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system sends instructions to the elevator controller to close the elevator doors and proceed to the designated floor. The elevator controller then uses these instructions to control the opening and closing of the elevator doors and the operation of the elevator, ensuring accurate elevator operation.

[0130] For example, in an office building, each floor is equipped with an elevator call button. When an employee presses the up call button on the 5th floor, the elevator control system receives elevator parameters such as the employee's current floor (5th floor) and the floor they want to go to (let's say the 10th floor).

[0131] The elevator control system sends these parameters to the elevator controller via the CAN bus. At this time, the elevator is moving upwards from the 3rd floor. The elevator controller detects the current floor as the 3rd floor through the rotary encoder, determines that the elevator has not yet reached the 5th floor, and therefore continues to control the elevator to move upwards.

[0132] When the elevator reaches the 5th floor, the elevator controller detects that the current floor equals the user's floor, stops the elevator, and opens the doors. After the employee enters the elevator, they press the button for the 10th floor. Upon receiving confirmation, the elevator control system notifies the elevator controller via the CAN bus to close the doors and initiates the elevator's ascent to the 10th floor.

[0133] Users can call the elevator in various ways (such as by calling button, mobile APP, etc.), and the elevator can accurately go to the user's floor and wait for the user's confirmation before proceeding to the designated floor, avoiding situations where users miss the elevator or the elevator runs in the wrong direction, thus improving the convenience and comfort of using the elevator.

[0134] Elevator control systems can precisely control elevator operation based on elevator parameters called by users, reducing unnecessary elevator operation and waiting time, improving overall elevator operating efficiency, and reducing energy consumption.

[0135] By setting up confirmation commands, the elevator will only proceed to the designated floor after the user enters and confirms their presence, preventing accidental operation when no one is present and improving elevator safety. Simultaneously, the floor detection device and accurate control commands ensure the elevator stops precisely at each floor, reducing potential safety hazards during operation.

[0136] like Figure 2 As shown, preferably, S4, the elevator control system controls the elevator to run to the user's floor based on the elevator parameters called by the user, and further includes:

[0137] After the elevator control system receives the confirmation command, it collects the user's temporary identity information through the identity collection module inside the elevator.

[0138] Based on the user identity information pre-push by the access control management system, the collected temporary identity information is compared and verified:

[0139] If the verification is successful, proceed to the next step;

[0140] If the verification fails, the elevator controller is notified to stop execution and an early warning notification is sent to the access control system.

[0141] The elevator control system establishes a communication connection with the elevator drive system. By receiving parameters input by the user when calling the elevator (such as the current floor, target floor, etc.), the system converts these parameters into control signals and sends them to the elevator drive system. The drive system controls the elevator motor to operate according to the signals, so that the elevator runs to the user's floor.

[0142] An identity collection module, such as a camera or fingerprint reader, is installed inside the elevator. When the elevator control system receives a confirmation command, it triggers the identity collection module to begin operation. The camera captures the user's facial image, and the fingerprint reader collects the user's fingerprint information. The elevator control system establishes a data transmission channel with the access control system, receiving pre-push user identity information. The collected temporary identity information is then processed in a unified format with the pre-push identity information, and then compared and verified using image recognition algorithms (for facial images) or feature matching algorithms (for fingerprint information).

[0143] As the core control unit, the elevator control system receives parameters from the user's elevator call and determines the elevator's path and speed based on a preset scheduling algorithm and the elevator's current operating status. Upon receiving a confirmation command, it activates the identity acquisition module to collect the user's temporary identity information. This temporary identity information is then compared with the information pushed by the access control system to determine if they match. If they match, the verification is considered successful; otherwise, the verification is considered unsuccessful.

[0144] For example, in an office building, a user calls an elevator from the lobby on the first floor using the call panel, entering their current floor (first floor) and the desired floor (tenth floor). Upon receiving the call parameters, the elevator control system dispatches an available elevator to the first floor. Once the elevator arrives, the user enters, and the control system receives a confirmation command, triggering the elevator's camera to capture the user's facial image. Simultaneously, the control system retrieves the user's pre-registered facial image information from the access control system and performs a comparison. If the user is an authorized person, the facial image matches successfully, and the elevator continues its journey to the tenth floor. If the user is unauthorized, the facial image does not match, and the control system instructs the elevator controller to halt execution and sends a warning to the access control system.

[0145] Therefore, this method improves elevator safety by preventing unauthorized personnel from using the elevator through an identity verification mechanism, thus ensuring building security. Simultaneously, it enables intelligent control of elevator operation, accurately scheduling elevators based on user call parameters and improving elevator utilization efficiency.

[0146] Preferably, S4, the elevator control system, based on the elevator parameters called by the user, controls the elevator to run to the user's floor, and further includes:

[0147] When the access control system receives an early warning notification, it initiates an identity re-authentication process to the user-end APP.

[0148] After re-authentication, the access control system notifies the elevator control system;

[0149] Upon receiving the notification, the elevator control system releases the elevator controller's suspension control and instructs the elevator controller to continue executing the operating procedure: based on the elevator parameters called by the user, proceed to the floor specified by the user.

[0150] Initiating the identity re-authentication process: The access control system establishes a network communication connection with the user-side app. When it receives a warning notification from the elevator control system, the access control system sends an identity re-authentication request message to the user-side app. Upon receiving the request, the user-side app displays an identity authentication interface, prompting the user to enter a password, perform fingerprint recognition, or facial recognition, etc.

[0151] Notification to the elevator control system: After the user successfully re-authenticates, the access control system encapsulates the authentication result information into data of a specific format and sends it to the elevator control system via network communication.

[0152] Release from suspension control: After receiving a notification from the access control system, the elevator control system sends a control signal to the elevator controller to release the suspension control and restore normal elevator operation.

[0153] Upon receiving an alert, the access control system determines that the user's identity is questionable and requires re-verification. This is achieved by initiating a re-authentication process via the user's mobile app to obtain the user's latest identity verification information. If re-authentication is successful, the user's identity is confirmed, and the access control system instructs the elevator control system to resume elevator operation. If re-authentication fails, the access control system can take further measures, such as restricting the user's elevator access.

[0154] In the office building example above, after receiving a warning notification from the elevator control system, the access control system sends a re-authentication request to the user's mobile app. The user opens the app and follows the prompts to perform facial recognition. If recognition is successful, the access control system sends authentication success information to the elevator control system. Upon receiving the notification, the elevator control system releases the elevator controller's halting control, and the elevator continues to the tenth floor.

[0155] This increases the flexibility and reliability of identity verification. When initial authentication fails, a re-authentication process provides users with another opportunity to prove their identity, avoiding inconvenience caused by misjudgment. Simultaneously, it enhances the collaborative capabilities between the access control system and the elevator control system, improving the overall system's security and stability.

[0156] Preferably, the method further includes:

[0157] The elevator control system collects real-time operating status data of the elevator and synchronizes it to the access control system. The real-time operating status data includes at least the following status data: elevator running time, floor where it is running, fault information or user elevator screen.

[0158] The elevator control system shares the real-time operating status data to the user-end APP in real time.

[0159] The user-side APP displays the real-time operating status data.

[0160] Sensors are installed in various key components of the elevator, such as time sensors to record elevator travel time, floor sensors to detect the floor the elevator is on, fault sensors to monitor for malfunctions, and cameras to capture images of users riding the elevator. These sensors transmit the collected data to the elevator control system.

[0161] A data transmission link is established between the elevator control system and the access control system. Data encryption and compression technologies are used to encapsulate the collected real-time operating status data in a certain format and then transmit it to the access control system via the network.

[0162] The access control system communicates with the user-side app via network, forwarding received real-time operational status data to the user-side app. The user-side app develops corresponding interfaces to receive and parse this data.

[0163] The user-side app uses a graphical interface design to display the received real-time operating status data to the user in an intuitive way, such as displaying the elevator's floor number and displaying the elevator's running time in a chart.

[0164] Sensors monitor the elevator's operating status in real time, converting the detected physical signals into electrical signals and transmitting them to the elevator control system. The elevator control system processes and analyzes these signals, transforming them into meaningful operating status data. This data is then synchronized to the access control system, which in turn shares the data with the user-facing app. The user-facing app receives and displays this data, allowing users to understand the elevator's operating status in real time.

[0165] The elevator control system uses floor sensors installed on the top of the elevator car to obtain real-time floor information and time sensors installed in the elevator machine room to record the elevator's running time. When the elevator is running, this data is collected and synchronized to the access control system. The access control system then shares the data with users' mobile apps. Users can view information such as the elevator's current floor and the elapsed running time on the app. If the elevator malfunctions, fault sensors send fault information to the elevator control system, which then synchronizes the fault information to the access control system and the user's app, allowing users to stay informed about the elevator's status.

[0166] This approach improves the transparency and manageability of elevator operations. Property management personnel can monitor elevator status in real time through the access control system, promptly identifying and addressing malfunctions. Users can access real-time elevator information via a user-facing app, allowing them to better plan their travel time and enhancing the user experience. Furthermore, the collection and analysis of real-time operational data also facilitates elevator maintenance and upkeep, extending the elevator's lifespan.

[0167] like Figure 3 As shown, on the other hand, a call management system based on access control QR code scanning and elevator linkage is provided. This call management system is used to implement the call management method based on access control QR code scanning and elevator linkage. The system includes:

[0168] The user-side APP is used to scan the access control code, log in to the access control management system, and send an elevator call request.

[0169] The access control system is used to preprocess the elevator call request and then forward the elevator parameters called by the user to the elevator control system.

[0170] The elevator control system is used to control the elevator to the user's floor based on the elevator parameters called by the user. When the user enters the elevator, he / she sends a confirmation command to the access control system through the user terminal APP, and the access control system forwards it to the elevator control system. After receiving the confirmation command, the elevator control system closes the elevator and runs to the floor specified by the user.

[0171] The user-side APP communicates with the access control management system.

[0172] The access control system is communicatively connected to the elevator control system.
