Abstract

A system and/or method for receiving a data capture from an elevator sensor and executing a prognostic analysis of the data capture to identify operational issues and resolutions to the operational issues. The system and/or method can further receive at least one of a verification of the operational issues and the resolutions and execute the resolutions upon verification to resolve the operational issues.

Claims (32)

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, by a processor coupled to a memory, a data capture from an elevator sensor;

executing, by the processor, a prognostic analysis of the data capture to identify operational issues and resolutions to the operational issues;

receiving, by the processor, a verification of the identified resolutions; and

executing, by the processor, the resolutions upon verification to resolve the operational issues;

wherein the prognostic analysis uses pattern recognition to determine operational issues.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the elevator sensor is a micro-electro-mechanical system.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data capture is a recording of video, audio, motion, infrared, radar, sonar, ultrasound, depth, velocity, acceleration, and vibration analytics of the elevator.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises automatically reporting the operational issues and resolutions to a user.

5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the receiving of the verification is in response to the reporting of the operational issues and resolutions causes.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the verification is received as an input from a user.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method comprises automatically scheduling a mechanic to implement the resolutions,

wherein the resolutions include an on-site fix of the operational issues.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processor and the elevator sensor are local to an intelligent building system comprising an elevator.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the elevator sensor is local to an intelligent building system comprising an elevator, and

a cloud environment in communication with the intelligent building system comprises the processor.

10. A system, comprising a processor and a memory storing program instructions thereon, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the system to perform:

receiving a data capture from an elevator sensor;

executing a prognostic analysis of the data capture to identify operational issues and resolutions to the operational issues;

receiving a verification of the identified resolutions; and

executing the resolutions upon verification to resolve the operational issues;

wherein the prognostic analysis uses pattern recognition to determine operational issues.

11. The system of claim 10 , wherein the elevator sensor is a micro-electro-mechanical system.

12. The system of claim 10 , wherein the data capture is a recording of video, audio, motion, infrared, radar, sonar, ultrasound, depth, velocity, acceleration, and vibration analytics of the elevator.

13. The system of claim 10 , wherein the program instructions are executable by a processor to cause the system to perform automatically reporting the operational issues and resolutions to a user.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the receiving of the verification is in response to the reporting of the operational issues and resolutions causes.

15. The system of claim 10 , wherein the verification is received as an input from a user.

16. The system of claim 10 , wherein the program instructions are executable by a processor to cause the system to perform automatically scheduling a mechanic to implement the resolutions,

wherein the resolutions include an on-site fix of the operational issues.

17. The system of claim 10 , wherein the processor and the elevator sensor are local to an intelligent building system comprising an elevator.

18. The system of claim 10 , wherein the elevator sensor is local to an intelligent building system comprising an elevator, and

a cloud environment in communication with the intelligent building system comprises the processor.
