[0033] Figure 4 An example of a component of a control unit according to the present invention is shown schematically. Detailed Implementation

[0034] Figure 1 An example environment 120 according to the invention is schematically shown, in which an indication system according to the invention can be implemented. The indication system according to the invention includes at least one detection device 102 for providing monitoring data, at least one indication device 106, and a control unit 108. Figure 1 Example environment 120 includes multiple door devices 102a-102d arranged adjacent to each other. The multiple door devices 102a-102d, such as security doors, may be equipped with access control operations. The access control operations ensure that only authorized users have the right to pass through the door devices 102a-102d. The access control operations may be based on the use of key cards; tags; identification codes, such as PIN codes, ID numbers, barcodes, QR codes; and / or biometric technologies, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris recognition, retinal scans, voice recognition, etc. Example environment 120 according to the invention may further include, but is not limited to, an elevator behind the multiple door devices 102a-102d. Only users identified as authorized users are allowed to pass through the multiple door devices 102a-102d in order to use the elevator. The multiple door devices 102a-102d may be communicatively connected to the elevator's elevator control system, enabling the generation of an elevator call in response to the identification of an authorized user.

[0035] The control unit 108 can be an external entity, or it can be implemented as part of one or more other entities that instruct the system. Figure 1 In the example, control unit 108 is an external entity. An external entity, as used herein, refers to an entity positioned separately from other entities of the indication system. The implementation of control unit 108 can be carried out as a standalone entity or as a distributed computing environment among multiple independent devices (e.g., multiple servers providing distributed computing resources). Control unit 108 can be configured to control the operation of the indication system. Control unit 108 can be communicatively coupled to at least one detection device 104, at least one indication device 106, and any other entity of the indication system. Communication between control unit 108 and other entities of the indication system 100 can be based on one or more known wired or wireless communication technologies.

[0036] At least one detection device 104 is configured to monitor at least one area 109a, 109b within the building where the indication system is located, in order to provide monitoring data. The monitored at least one area 109a, 109b may include an area at least surrounding an assigned door device 102a on at least one side of the assigned door device 102a. The meaning of the assigned door device 102a will be described later in this application. Furthermore, the monitored at least one area 109a, 109b may include an area surrounding multiple door devices 102a-102d on at least one side of multiple door devices 102a-102d. In other words, the monitored at least one area 109a, 109b may include a first area 109a on a first side of multiple door devices 102a-102d and / or a second area 109b on a first side of multiple door devices 102a-102d. According to one example, the monitored at least one area 109a, 109b may include at least a portion of the building's lobby area. Figure 1 In one example, the indicating system 100 includes a detection device 104 disposed within a first region 109a, such that the detection device 104 is capable of monitoring the first region 109a. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and the indicating system 100 may include any other number of detection devices 104 capable of monitoring the first region 109a and / or the second region 109b.

[0037] At least one detection device 104 may include at least one optical imaging device, such as at least one camera. The at least one detection device 104 enables the detection and / or tracking of objects 110 and / or users 112 at a distance from the at least one detection device 104. The distance from the at least one detection device 104 may be, for example, between 0 and 10 meters, and preferably between 1 and 2 meters, 1 and 3 meters, or 1 and 5 meters. The at least one detection device 104 may be mounted on a wall, ceiling, and / or arranged as a separate support device within at least one monitored area. Figure 1 In the example, at least one detection device 104 is arranged on the wall of the monitoring area 109a. According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the operation of at least one detection device 104 may be based on object recognition or pattern recognition.

[0038] At least one detection device 104 is configured to provide monitoring data to a control unit 108. The control unit 106 is configured to detect at least one predefined object 110 with specific needs. Detection of the at least one predefined object 110 with specific needs is based on monitoring data obtained from the at least one detection device 104. The control unit 108 may utilize machine vision in the detection of the at least one predefined object 110 with specific needs. The object 110 with specific needs may be, for example, a wheelchair, a wheeled walker, a stroller, luggage, a trolley, parcel delivery, and / or specific clothing, such as delivery company uniforms. Specific needs may include, but are not limited to, large size and / or slow speed.

[0039] Control unit 108 is configured to control at least one indicating device 104 to generate a visual indication 114 in response to the detection of at least one predefined object 110. This visual indication 114 includes guidance information to a door device 102a assigned to the detected predefined object 110. This enables on-demand indication of a door device 102a assigned for a specific purpose, i.e., for the detected predefined object 110 with a specific need. When the specific purpose is no longer required, the on-demand indication of the assigned door device 102a allows it to be released for other purposes. This further enhances the usability of the assigned door device 102a.

[0040] According to one example, visual indication 114 can be generated, for example, projected onto the floor in front of the assigned door device 102a, as shown in the example. Figure 1 As shown. Guidance information may include, for example, text-based and / or graphical guidance. In Figure 1 In the example, control unit 108 detects package delivery 110 based on monitoring data obtained from at least one detection device 104, and controls at least one indication device 104 to generate a visual indication 114 on the floor in front of the assigned door device 102a, the visual indication 114 including an arrow graphic with the text "delivery". Figure 2 Another example of an environment 120 according to the invention is shown, in which an indication system according to the invention can be implemented. Figure 2 Examples are similar in other respects Figure 1 For example, but predefined object 110 is a wheelchair. Figure 2 In the example, the control unit 108 detects the user 112 moving with the wheelchair 110 based on monitoring data obtained from at least one detection device 104, and controls at least one indicating device 104 to generate a visual indication 114 on the floor in front of the assigned door device 102a, the visual indication 114 including an arrow graphic with a graphic of the wheelchair.

[0041] The door device 102a, assigned to a specific purpose, has a widened passageway. For example... Figure 1 As shown in the example, the assigned door device 102a is wider than at least some of the other door devices 102b-102d, i.e., has a wider passage in the width direction, thereby making it easier for objects with specific needs to pass through the door device 102a. If the plurality of door devices 102a-102d includes more than one door device with a widened passage for a specific purpose, one of these more than one door devices can be selected as the assigned door device 102a, for example, based on the traffic flow through the door devices 102a-102d.

[0042] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, at least one indicating device 106 may include one or more displays on which visual indications may be displayed. Alternatively or additionally, at least one indicating device 106 may include one or more projector devices configured to display visual indications such as... Figure 1 and 2 The example shows a visual indication 114 generated (e.g., projected) on the floor near, in front of, the assigned door device 102a. Figure 1 and 2 In one example, the indicating system includes an indicating device 106 disposed within monitored areas 109a, 109b (e.g., a lobby area) such that the indicating device 106 can generate visual indications 114 on the floor in front of an assigned door device 102a. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and the indicating system 100 may include any other number of indicating devices 106. At least one indicating device 106 may be disposed on a wall, ceiling, door devices 102a-102d, and / or on a separate support device disposed within at least one monitored area 109a, 109b. Figure 1 In one example, at least one detection device 106 is arranged on a wall adjacent to the assigned door device 102a.

[0043] The visual indication 114 can be indicated within a predefined time period. The predetermined time period allows the user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110 time to see the visual indication; for example, but not limited to, the predetermined time period can be between 5 and 60 seconds. Alternatively, the visual indication 110 can be indicated until at least one predefined object 110 has been detected and passed through the assigned door device 102a.

[0044] According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, monitoring may include tracking the movement of at least one predefined object 110 within at least one monitoring area 109a, 109b. Tracking the movement of at least one predefined object 110 within the monitoring areas 109a, 109b may enable one or more further operations that require locating at least one predefined object 110 and / or a user associated with at least one predefined object 110 within the monitoring areas 109a, 109b.

[0045] According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the assigned door device 102a may also be configured with access control operations, such that only authorized users have the right of way through the door device 102a. Only users identified as authorized users are allowed to pass through the assigned door device 102a. Therefore, the assigned door device 102a may be configured to identify a user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110 detected. This identification may be based on, for example, key cards; tags; identification codes, such as PIN codes, ID numbers, barcodes, QR codes; and / or biometric technologies, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris recognition, retinal scans, voice recognition, etc. In response to identifying a user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110 detected, the assigned door device 102a may allow the user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110 to pass through the assigned door device 102a.

[0046] Door device 102a may include blocking devices, such as door panels, revolving doors, booms, or any other blocking devices, to prevent unidentified users from passing through door device 102a. Alternatively or additionally, door device 102a may include one or more alarm devices, such as visual and / or audible alarm devices, to generate an alarm when an unidentified user attempts to pass through door device 102a. Door device 102a may default to a state that allows unrestricted passage through door device 102a. In other words, door device 102a remains in a state that allows unrestricted passage through door device 102a. If a user is not identified, door device 102a (e.g., a control unit of door device 102a) may be configured to control the blocking devices to prevent (i.e., restrict) passage through door device 102a, for example, by closing the blocking devices of door device 102a. Alternatively or additionally, if a user is not identified, door device 102a, such as a control unit of door device 102a, may be configured to control one or more alarm devices to generate an alarm to indicate the passage of an unauthorized user. Alternatively, door device 102a may be in a state of preventing (i.e. restricting) user passage by default, meaning door device 102a may be in a closed state. If a user is identified, door device 102a, such as a control unit of door device 102a, may be configured to control the blocking device to allow passage through door device 102a, for example, by opening the blocking device of door device 102a.

[0047] According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the assigned door device 102a may be configured to, in response to the identification of a user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110, instruct the elevator control system of the elevator to generate an elevator call to assign an elevator car to the user 112 associated with the detected object.

[0048] Next reference Figure 3 Examples of methods according to the present invention are described. Figure 3 The invention is illustrated schematically in the form of a flowchart.

[0049] In step 302, at least one detection device 104 monitors at least one area within the building to provide monitoring data. The monitored at least one area 109a, 109b may include an area surrounding at least one side of an assigned door device 102a. Furthermore, the monitored at least one area 109a, 109b may include an area surrounding at least one side of multiple door devices 102a-102d. In other words, the monitored at least one area 109a, 109b may include a first area 109a on a first side of multiple door devices 102a-102d and / or a second area 109b on a first side of multiple door devices 102a-102d. According to one example, the monitored at least one area may include at least a portion of the building's lobby area. At least one detection device 104 provides monitoring data to the control unit 108.

[0050] In step 304, control unit 106 detects at least one predefined object 110 with a specific need. The detection of the at least one predefined object 110 with a specific need is based on monitoring data obtained from at least one detection device 104. Control unit 108 may utilize machine vision in the detection of the at least one predefined object 110 with a specific need. The object 110 with a specific need may be, for example, a wheelchair, a wheelchair, a stroller, luggage, a trolley, parcel delivery, and / or specific clothing, such as delivery company uniforms. Specific needs may include, but are not limited to, large size and / or slow speed.

[0051] In step 306, in response to the detection of at least one predefined object 110, the control unit 104 controls at least one indicating device 104 to generate a visual indication 114, which includes guidance information to a door device 102a assigned to the detected at least one predefined object 110. This enables on-demand indication of a door device 102a assigned for a specific purpose, i.e., for the detected at least one predefined object 110 with a specific need. When the specific purpose is no longer required, the on-demand indication of the assigned door device 102a allows the assigned door device 102a to be released for other purposes. This further enhances the usability of the assigned door device 102a. The guidance information may include, for example, text-based and / or graphic-based guidance information.

[0052] The door device 102a assigned for a specific purpose has a widened passageway. The assigned door device 102a is wider than at least some of the other door devices 102b-102d, i.e., has a wider passageway in the width direction, so that objects with specific needs can more easily pass through the door device 102a. If the plurality of door devices 102a-102d includes more than one door device with a widened passageway for a specific purpose, one of these more than one door devices can be selected as the assigned door device 102a, for example, based on traffic flow through the door devices 102a-102d.

[0053] According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, visual indication 114 may be displayed on one or more displays. Alternatively or additionally, visual indication 114 may be generated, for example, projected, by one or more projector devices onto the floor near the assigned door device 102a, such as in front of the assigned door device 102a. Figure 1 and 2 As shown in the example.

[0054] The visual indication 114 can be indicated within a predefined time period. The predefined time period allows the user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110 time to see the visual indication; for example, but not limited to, the predefined time period can be between 5 and 60 seconds. Alternatively, the visual indication 110 can be indicated until at least one predefined object 110 has been detected and passed through the assigned gate device 102a.

[0055] According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, monitoring may include tracking the movement of at least one predefined object 110 within at least one monitoring area 109a, 109b. Tracking the movement of at least one predefined object 110 within the monitoring areas 109a, 109b may enable one or more further operations that require locating at least one predefined object 110 and / or a user associated with at least one predefined object 110 within the monitoring areas 109a, 109b.

[0056] According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, the method may further include identifying, for example, a user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110 detected, via a door device 102a. This allows only users identified as authorized users to pass through the assigned door device 102a. This identification may be based on, for example, key cards; tags; identification codes such as PIN codes, ID numbers, barcodes, QR codes; and / or biometric techniques such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris recognition, retinal scans, voice recognition, etc. In response to identifying a user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110 detected, the assigned door device 102a may allow the user 112 associated with the at least one predefined object 110 to pass through the assigned door device 102a.

[0057] According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, in response to the identification of a user 112 associated with at least one predefined object 110, the method may further include instructing an elevator control system of an elevator to generate an elevator call to allocate an elevator car to the user 112 associated with the detected object.
