SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY CALLING ELEVATOR/S
Aspects of the invention are directed towards a system and a method for automatically calling an elevator. One or more embodiments of the invention describe a method comprising steps of receiving, from an accessing device, a state of the accessing device associated with the premises and prompting a user of a user device to provide information based on the state. The method further comprising step of transmitting a request to the accessing device for automatically calling an elevator based on the information provided by the user.
1 . A method comprising:
advertising a state of an accessing device associated with premises;
transmitting the state of the accessing device to a user device;
receiving, from the user device, a request along with information provided by a user to call an elevator after transmitting the state; and
transmitting the request and the information to a server for automatically calling the elevator.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the state associated with the accessing device includes an open state or a close state of the accessing device.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the information includes input provided by the user in response to a prompt by the user device.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the accessing device receives the request along with the information and communicates the request along with the information to the server through a service network.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the server communicates with a third party provider to initiate calling of the elevator based on the information.
6 . A method comprising:
receiving, from an accessing device, a state of the accessing device associated with the premises;
prompting a user of a user device to provide information in response to receiving of the state; and
transmitting a request along with the information provided by the user to the accessing device for automatically calling an elevator.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising, estimating a time by the user device for the user to reach the elevator.
8 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the state associated with the accessing device includes an open state or a close state of the accessing device.
9 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the information includes input provided by the user in response to a prompt by the user device.
10 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the prompt includes one or more questions posed to the user with respect to the state.
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the questions posed to the user include a question related to use of the elevator, a question related to exit from the premises, a question related to a destination floor of the user, or a question related to using any facility in the premises.
12 . A system comprising:
an accessing device including:
a transceiver configured to advertise a state of the accessing device associated with premises and to transmit the state of the accessing device to a user device; and
the user device including:
a receiver configured to receive, from the transceiver of the accessing device, a state associated with the accessing device;
an interface configured to prompt a user of the user device to provide information in response to receiving of the state; and
a transmitter configured to transmit a request along with the information provided by the user to the accessing device for automatically calling an elevator.
13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the state associated with the accessing device includes an open state or a close state of the accessing device.
14 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the information includes input provided by the user in response to a prompt by the user device.
15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the prompt includes one or more questions posed to the user with respect to the state.
16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the questions posed to the user include a question related to use of the elevator, a question related to exit from the premises, a question related to a destination floor of the user, or a question related to using any facility in the premises.
17 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the accessing device receives the request along with the information and communicates the request along with the information to the server through a service network.
18 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the server communicates with a third party provider to initiate calling of the elevator based on the information.
