Communication method for an elevator system between a unit on an elevator car and a remote service center
First Claim
1. A method for the exchange of data between at least one unit of an elevator system and a monitoring unit of a service center that is locationally remote from the elevator system, wherein the elevator system includes an elevator car that runs in an elevator hoistway, a first wireless communication network that connects the at-least one unit with a first communication unit arranged on, or in, the elevator car, and wherein data transmitted from the at-least one unit are stored in the first communication unit, comprising the steps of:
- a mobile-communication end-device, which is brought into the elevator car by an elevator passenger, is connected, via a second wireless communication network, with the first communication unit;
the data that are transmitted by the at-least one unit to the first communication unit, and stored there, are transmitted by the first communication unit to the mobile-communication end-device and stored therein; and
after the elevator car is exited by the elevator passenger with the mobile-communication end-device, the stored data are transmitted by the mobile-communication end-device, via a public mobile-communication network, to the monitoring unit that is locationally remote from the elevator system, wherein the end-device is not in communication with the public mobile-communication network when the end-device is in the elevator car.

Abstract
A method for the exchange of data between one unit of an elevator system and a monitoring unit of a service center locationally remote from the elevator system, wherein, via a first communication network, the one unit is connected with a communication unit arranged on, or in, an elevator car that travels vertically in an elevator hoistway, and wherein the data that are transmitted by the one unit are transmitted to the communication unit and stored there. A mobile-communication end-device brought into the elevator car by an elevator passenger is connected, via a second wireless communication network, with the communication unit and the stored data are transmitted by the communication unit to the end-device, and stored in the latter. When the elevator car is exited by the elevator passenger with the end-device, the stored data are transmitted from the end-device via a public mobile-communication network to the monitoring unit.
