Conveyance system data transfer

1. A method for data transfer in a conveyance system, the method comprising:

moving a conveyance system component along a travel path, the conveyance system component including a memory;

mapping at least one location of the conveyance system component along the travel path to network signal strength, the conveyance system component including a sensing apparatus moved along the travel path, the mapping performed in response to the sensing apparatus measuring the network signal strength at the at least one location; and

transferring data, by at least one of sending data from the memory or receiving data to the memory, in response to available network signal strength;

wherein the transferring data comprises:

determining that a data transfer is needed; and

determining whether the conveyance system component will reach a location having network signal strength greater than a threshold within a time limit;

wherein when the conveyance system component will not reach the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold within the time limit, initiating movement of the conveyance system component to the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold;

wherein the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold is a non-lobby location.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transferring data comprises at least one of sending data from the memory to a remote system through a second conveyance system component or receiving data from the remote system to the memory through the second conveyance system component.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the transferring data from the memory to the remote system comprises transferring data from the memory to the second conveyance system component, storing the data at the second conveyance system component and transferring the data to the remote system upon the second conveyance system component reaching a location having network signal strength greater than a threshold.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the conveyance system component will reach the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold within the time limit, transferring data upon the conveyance system component reaching the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein when the conveyance system component will not reach the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold within the time limit, taking action to modify the data.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transferring data comprises communicating with a local gateway using short-range communications protocols.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the transferring data comprises communicating with a remote system using long-range communications protocols.

8. A conveyance system comprising:

a conveyance system component configured to move a passenger along a travel path, the conveyance system component including a memory and a controller;

wherein the controller is configured to map at least one location of the conveyance system component along the travel path to network signal strength, the conveyance system component including a sensing apparatus moved along the travel path, the controller configured to map the at least one location of the conveyance system component along the travel path to network signal strength mapping in response to network signal strength measured by the sensing apparatus;

the controller configured to perform transferring data, by at least one of sending data from the memory or receiving data to the memory, in response to available network signal strength;

wherein the transferring data comprises:

determining that a data transfer is needed; and

determining whether the conveyance system component will reach a location having network signal strength greater than a threshold within a time limit;

wherein when the conveyance system component will not reach the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold within the time limit, initiating movement of the conveyance system component to the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold;

wherein the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold is a non-lobby location.

9. The conveyance system of claim 8 , wherein the transferring data comprises at least one of sending data from the memory to a remote system through a second conveyance system component or receiving data from the remote system to the memory through the second conveyance system component.

10. The conveyance system of claim 9 , wherein the transferring data from the memory to the remote system comprises transferring data from the memory to the second conveyance system component, storing the data at the second conveyance system component and transferring the data to the remote system upon the second conveyance system component reaching a location having network signal strength greater than a threshold.

11. The conveyance system of claim 8 , wherein when the conveyance system component will reach the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold within the time limit, transferring data upon the conveyance system component reaching the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold.

12. The conveyance system of claim 8 , wherein when the conveyance system component will not reach the location having network signal strength greater than the threshold within the time limit, taking action to modify the data.

13. The conveyance system of claim 8 , wherein the transferring data comprises communicating with a local gateway using short-range communications protocols.

14. The conveyance system of claim 8 , wherein the transferring data comprises communicating with a remote system using long-range communications protocols.
