Elevator Operation Setting Management via Authority Application
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tenant management systems struggle to adapt to diversified usage modes, making it difficult for tenants to change settings suitable for their specific usage patterns.
Innovation Solution
A management device that processes authority applications for elevator operation settings, approves them, and calculates charges based on traffic volume, enabling tenants to change settings through a terminal, even with diversified usage modes.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed tenant terminal is provided for each tenant, then the system structure is simple and easy to manage, but it becomes difficult to adapt to diversified usage modes of tenants
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a unified management server that serves multiple tenants with different usage modes through a single centralized platform. The server provides universal functionality by handling various operation settings (e.g., elevator control, lighting, air conditioning) for different tenants, allowing the system to adapt to diversified usage patterns without requiring separate dedicated terminals for each tenant type.
Solution Approach 2:
The system dynamically adjusts operation settings based on real-time usage patterns and tenant requirements. The management server can flexibly modify parameters such as operating hours, temperature settings, and equipment activation based on actual tenant needs, enabling the system to adapt to changing usage modes rather than being constrained by fixed pre-configured settings.
2Ease of operation
If operation settings are centralized and fixed, then system management is simple, but tenants cannot make real-time adjustments suitable for their specific usage patterns
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the control authority by separating the management server into different functional modules that handle specific operation settings independently. Each module can be configured and adjusted separately, allowing tenants to modify specific parameters (e.g., elevator schedules, lighting timing) without affecting the entire system, thus enabling flexible tenant control while maintaining manageable system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the management server monitors actual usage patterns and operational data, then uses this information to automatically adjust settings or provide recommendations to tenants. This feedback loop enables the system to learn from actual usage and improve operational efficiency while giving tenants the ability to request and implement setting changes based on their specific needs.
